  • When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)




  • “Alright, we have at least 6 witnesses willing to testify that they think I’m pretty. If you confess and say that at least I’m cute, we’ll let you get off easy.”

    “I wanna talk to my lawyer.”

    bad cop begins routine

    “HOW DARE YOU, THEIR OUTFIT ALONE IS FIRE!”

    ”good” cop pulls the bad cop off you

    “Sorry, my partner is a loose cannon. Look, we just want to make sure you’ve got good taste.”




  • Think of thrillers more like rollercoaster rides - they’re fun because they’re exciting and sometimes scary

    Horror is more like haunted houses, they’re fun because they’re scary, which is sometimes exciting

    This is the interesting thing about genres - they’re often abstract and can blur definitions easily. The same way we don’t consider a hot dog or a pop tart a sandwich, even though you can often find the definition of a sandwich in each.
