I absolutely love stories with unreliable and/or clearly biased narrators. I love when narrators say things that are then immediately contradicted by one or more of the characters in a way that shows that they are being dishonest. I love unreliable narrators that are purposely being dishonest and trying to twist the narrative into what they want you to believe. I love unreliable narrators that don’t actually have any intention to be deceitful but their own bias, pride, shame, or whatever else keeps them from being able to see and explain things truly objectively. I love unreliable narrators who describe characters and events as wildly different than the reality, and it is then shown later on that they were purposely lying or were genuinely mistaken about them. I love unreliable narrators. I love narrators with a personality. I love narrators that, even if they aren’t actually there, feel like just as much of a character themself as the actual characters in the story.
Hey! I almost died and totalled my motorcycle today. You should really look at my fanart of the monsterfucker goth and go “hee hee hah hah that’s very funny, tumblr user distortionenby” to make me feel better.
I have likely not added many that I’ve reblogged to this list. Please feel free to roam my blog and/or ask/message me to add something you’d like to see on this list!
Here’s a gerry keay sketch. gonna be busy the whole month- won’t be able to draw much. enjoy your casual, trad goth, and corpse paint gerry keay in the meantime ^^
“ooooh I don’t listen to rap but it’s not because I’m racist it’s because [unironic statement painting the entire genre of rap as a monolith]” shut the fuck up. @ my fellow whites you have 24 hours to find a rapper you fuck with or I’m hunting you for sport.
“I’ve never looked into rap or found artists I clicked with” kosher, fine, room for growth
“I don’t listen to rap because [justification that hinges on all rap being exactly the same]” boo!!!! booooooo!!!! unleash the hounds!!!
and not to like, derail the point or anything, but i see a lot of people talking about how they struggle with rap because it can go too fast for them to process the lyrics/other auditory processing issues
and yall deserve to know that genius.com is an excellent lyric site with super accurate lyrics across all genres, but especially rap and hip-hop because it originated as Rap Genius and was a lyric and annotation site specifically for rap and hip-hop music. its my trusted source for song lyrics generally but like if you want to get into rap but struggle to follow the lyrics/understand the cultural references genius is great for that
The fondness in Jon’s voice when he says, “that’ll be our Gerard.” makes me want to scream because they didn’t even know each other and yet Jon likes him. Jon doesn’t speak about anyone like that. Jon has heard enough about Gerry in the tapes and notes that he’s formed an opinion of him. He says “our Gerard” the way others speak of a family member. In the same way someone would loving call a cousin a brat. Jon likes Gerry.
Jon respected him so much for going after god awful Leitners and the man himself.
He really said “hm, the feral goth batman wannabe is friend-shaped” and I love him for that
