Agreed but also why does it control my entire life
I liked it tbh the simplicity of the writing was very charming and I liked its views on adhering to social pressure and blah blah blah
But towards the end Keiko drove me up the wall honestly she started getting sooo unlikeable and I was like Im running out of empathy

Omg especially in LA. That place is a fever dream
I'm glad u liked it at least a little bit !!!
That's interesting tho bc I am a firm believer that a main character doesn't need to be likeable to be a good character
No fr that's why when I'm here I feel like I have to actively resist the gravity of every single LA resident turning me into the same caricature of a human that they all are
Hmmm I guess
But sometimes I feel like reading is inherently like a self-inserting practice even in third person perspectives so I can't help but disconnect when I don't fuck with the main girl u know
Yeah no I get it
I feel like a lot of female characters are deemed unlikeable for the same reasons male ones are sympathised with
Este pressed 'send' on the message as she thought back to her conversation earlier, with the customer looking for classics. She definitely used Matty's point about likeable characters to sell Emma, and completely understood where he was coming from; but she wanted to give him a hard time. She was sure his ego had been stroked enough.
Ok damn
You're right
I know :)
I'm part of the problem arent I
Probably but I'll let you off the hook x
Are u gonna give me a book of essays to read now??
Wait I actually will
I read this collection called You Are Here: After the Internet by Omar Kholeif bc I saw someone on the train reading it and it was so good
I named the new album after one of the essays in it lolll
It seems very meta to be telling me to read that over instagram dms
I'll try and pick it up tho!
Busy in LA?
It is meta that's why you should read it
And yeah we need to have the final masters submitted for vinyl in 2 days so it's go time

Then Because She Goes - Matty Healy
Fanfiction"Well, she says beauty brings copies of itself into being. That it makes us draw it, take photographs of it, describe it to other people; it has a forward momentum. And I always thought that that was a sort of - superficial, I guess - way of putting...
