So you watched I Saw the TV Glow

& now you're having some complicated feelings about gender. Books full of characters who come to terms with themselves. Recs welcome, per usual.

I wish I could get the entire movie tattooed on my heart. It means so, so much to me and I'm thrilled that it means so much to others too.

ohhh if only 🄺🄺 it really does! a seminar on queering identity in film and tv originally brought it to my attention. as the end credits rolled, I kept staring at the screen, and kept staring and staring, not speaking. the morning after, I wrote about it in my creative writing seminar. in the afternoon, I talked to my therapist about it. etc etc and so forth. this. damn. movie.
