OKAY SO a week ago or sumn like that I saw this movie on amazon (js the cover) called 'I saw the TV glow' and so I looked at it and in my head I was like 'damn it'd be cool if alex G played songs in that, we're all going to the worlds fair vibes' AND ITS SO FUNNY BC THE NEXT DAY/NIGHT I WAS SEARCHING UP ALEX G AND IT ONE OF THE SEARCHES WAS 'alex g i saw the tv glow' WHICH IMPLIES HE MADE MUSIC FOR IT SO OBV I WAS FREAKING OUT LMAO, ANYWAY ITS SO MUCH FUNNIER BECAUSE WHEN I WATCHED IT (i watched it today, also its a really great movie with many meanings I would 100% reccomend if you are trans(im not) or have struggled with mental health issues or overcoming relationship/friendship obstacles n stuff) BECAUSE I LITERALLY FOUND OUT IT WAS MADE BY THE PEOPLE WHO MADE 'we're all going to the worlds fair' ANNYWAY LIKE ITS SO COOL N SUCH A COINCIDENCE?? THE POWER OF AN ALEX G FAN RAAAA SPOILERS ISH: Srsly though the movie is really great and it has alot of ways to be interpreted, I relate to it because I interpreted it to be like, afraid of what you are, knowing but not knowing and always questioning, always afraid and paranoid, dettached from reality and you have someone who knows, someone who has a way to escape and they offer you help, but youre so unsure of it, because you've been taught otherwise your entire life so you deny the chance you get to escape your own nightmare, and you keep looking back and eventually everything catches up to you and you just question it all, idk, thats how I interpret it, ME, personally. I know thats not the point but I feel like there can be many 'points.' I felt like the constellation scene was heavily metaphoric, I'm not gonna dive into it rn but def later. quotes I made "People are scared of death because they're not certain what'll happen after, but was there ever any certainty?" "People are like pool water late at night, some might dip their feet in, some might not, and if they do they might take them out or they might not, and if they leave them in eventually the pool water becomes warm. most of the time."
