Nothing more cringe-worthy than a story where the writer clearly thinks they’re making some broad statement about the human condition in the modern day but actually it’s just been too long since they left their specifically dysfunctional community, which is ultimately irrelevant to most of society. And 95% of the time that community is Hollywood.
[writer who got his big break and moved to LA about 10 years ago] wow has anyone noticed how everyone has become an inauthentic, self-obsessed social climber in the past decade?
Easily the most annoying kind of vampire in the world are the ones where you finally corner the fuckers and when you’re going in with the stake they start spouting off sociology 101 bullshit to try and weasel out of it. “Oh, no ethical consumption under capitalism,” “oh, the rich are the real vampires if you think about it-” yeah, yeah, you ate like fifty homeless people, asshole. Hold still
Okay but if you aren’t a vegetarian your case against vampires is actually pretty weak.
also if gnomes were all sitting around a small tree stump using it as a table and someone used the word “misnomer” one of them would speak up and go “HEEHEE. MISS GNOMER IS WHAT I CALL THE MISSUS” they’d all laugh so hard they fall off the mushrooms they are sitting on and spill the berry juice everywhere
