Idk if others have acknowledged this but Michael is the least likable character in The Lost Boys
The Boys? Obviously flawless. Friendship. Fine af. Great style. Anti-cop action. Put the “laughter” in “manslaughter.” Squad goals. 10/10
The Frogs? Detestable activities, literally live to harsh vibes, but have the decency to be funny while they do it. Charmingly unhinged
Sam, Lucy, and Grandpa? No words needed. Each one is a treasure
Star? Bit of a buzzkill but dedicated to Laddie and cares about Michael way more than he deserves. Too soft to be a Real Baller but means well
Laddie? Little guy who’s rad enough to run with the big kids
Max? Deeply funny as a character. This immortal alpha monster who’s trying so hard to be a boring traditional middle-class white dad but keeps getting sabotaged because all the youngsters around him are unruly chaotic gremlins. Yeah, I hated him too the first time but with each subsequent watch I get a bigger kick out of him
Michael? 80% of the time just a macho douche. Rude to everyone he interacts with for no reason. Poser. Enough morals to be a big lame-o who wants to abolish murder parties but not enough morals not to be a dick to his girlfriend apparently. Looks but no charm. Doesn’t deserve the Boys. I get that he’s essential for your ships but objectively he’s a loser
Why is this so true though?

sometimes, it dawns on me just how incredibly happy i am that fanfic exists as a medium. like, the amount of experiences had, the excitement and thrills and tears and joy—and more—that writers of fic can give to so, so many people... it's immeasurable; and it's wonderful.
and just. what an amazing thought, you know? in a world where we're all struggling to get by, recognising this beautiful thing we have created, knowing that we're all sharing in taking some sort of pleasure/lesson/comfort etc from reading and/or writing it?
that's really special.
Eivor: Would you say that you’re independent?
Sigurd: [Looks at Basim]
Basim: [Nods]
Sigurd: Yes, I'd say so.
all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”
writing a fanfic, day 1: haha fun little porn fic lots of fluff no angst happy ending :)
writing a fanfic, day 30: so it turns out japan signed the 1929 geneva convention on the sick and the wounded but NOT the geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war and therefore the definition of "war crime" in this situation is
