I am writing this letter to you this Father’s Day 2021 while sitting on the ocean cliffs in Carlsbad next to the only dead tree where I took you many times when you came to visit me. I’m staring at the vast ocean, crying for the love I have for you, shivering, not listening to your sarcastic jokes about my Hurlet shirt (don’t worry, Nickayla is still covering it).
I miss you terribly. Even though sometimes we didn’t see each other face to face, you always came back to me and I to you, but this time, you won’t come back like you used to, but the love of father and daughter remains the same, this father’s day I am going to celebrate your life with me and the wonderful moments we spent together, and I want you to know the things I feel for you and how proud I am for the mother and daughter that you were.
I want you to know that a great joy runs through me when I remember how we used to bond through music and singing, I remember the difficult moment when rejection came to our lives professionally and personally, when I told you that I was 15 years old in front of boys and men and I thought you were going to have a hard time for the kind of person you were, risky, confident, intense about your goals and path in life.
You make me feel so proud, do you remember when I took you to Venice at 17 and you went on stage to sing before that open audience, with all those adults looking at you with judgment? Your nerves could be seen in your eyes, but you believed in me and I trusted you and you did, you killed that song. You always listened to my advice and you overcame every obstacle that crossed your path, I remember when you graduated from high school and I told you that college is next, you looked at me and you said yes, but you had a plan and a goal in mind and nothing stopped you. I guess you knew what you were looking for and I’m so proud that you didn’t allow the pressures of the teenage years to break your spirit to achieve your goal.
I think of those moments together and in the recording studios, with those adults telling you what not to do and you were doing your own schedule. I also remember telling you about my teenage days in the seventies so you would know it wasn’t perfect.
Your beautiful son is strong, healthy and happy, he is growing, they have taken care of him as well as you did, I know that you are well and that you are taking care of him, rest assured that he talks about you all the time, thank you for taking care of your brother and sister. Keep sleeping soundly my angel, I love you and I miss you, but I know you know it, with love Dad. “

I miss the comfortable, cluttered home interiors in movies like you could tell people lived there and even if things were tidied they weren’t sanitized. Nowadays movie and tv home interiors look like they double as the set for a lysol commercial….like who lives here?? Mr. Clean??
In scream (1996) it’s really evident in every home scene that people live there. Things aren’t overwhelmingly messy but there are the little messes here and there that build up over time as you rush through your day:
Even here at the desk you can see stacks of books and papers and a soda can, clear evidence of life:
Contrast this with scream 4 (2011), you get absolutely none of the same sense of home and daily life. Every room is styled like architectural digest is due to stop by any moment. The teenagers’ bedrooms are carefully placed, with no individuality, and their cars look freshly washed in every scene. Even as syd fights for her life, her surroundings are spotless:
In fact, directly contrasted to the original scream, every kitchen in scream 4 (and there are many) is spotless, with nothing out of place, so much so that jill has to purposefully wreck a lot of kirby’s house just to convince people there was a fight there (even though…there was).
This is the kitchen from scream:
And yeah, a lot of that can be blamed on the party, but there’s stuff on the counters, and dishes in the sink, like you would find in any normal kitchen on any average day of the week.
Now look at this kitchen in scream 4, supposedly also a normal kitchen, also on an average day of the week:
You cannot convince me someone actually lives there.
@set designers stop forgetting the clutter budget‼️‼️🗣🗣🗣
i’ve seen a lot of people in the notes say like “well i just enjoy it even though other people don’t like it,” but that’s not what i mean, i mean like when they flat out say that what i like is stupid.
i much prefer if they said “that’s not really my thing, but glad it makes you happy!” because what happens is this
then slowly like you start to think “maybe it is stupid” and it takes away all the fun of just enjoying something that makes you happy and it’s not a good feeling
clicking on ‘callout posts’ here is wild because there’s like, a 90% chance it’ll be something like ‘they once reblogged a post from someone who follows someone who drew amethyst as white’ and a 10% chance that it will be like ‘stole a human being’s kidney in an alleyway’
honestly though there is something very deeply and sincerely odd about making posts or google docs or entire blogs linking screenshots of every slightly questionable thing a person has ever said, sometimes stretching back to their early teenage years, and using this as a sign that they are a Deeply Bad Person and that anyone in their radius is tainted by being in their presence. like. this is abnormal behaviour, folks.
some of you will make post after post about the importance of kindness and community and then suicide bait someone for using a questionable word a decade ago when they were thirteen years old and i need you to understand that you are not the good guy in these interactions
