growing up queer in a small conservative town is such a weird feeling. i never fit in. people would talk about how weird being queer was and i just had to stand there, silently listening to how awful i supposedly was.
i watched this when i was thirteen and it genuinely changed my whole view on how i was. maybe i was normal. maybe it was society that wasn't.
i could ramble on this for so long about how much this movie changed my life and shaped it.

“his love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.

the video essayists
🌟defunctland: classic. i feel like this is the basic answer for anyone who’s into video essays, but you must understand that i’ve been a theme park fiend since childhood and used to watch defunctland long before he blew up, so he’s special to me.
🌟contrapoints: whoever LIED and told me she did something really fucked up, leading me to take a year-long break from her content, is going to hell. so damn smart. baltimore legend.
🌟broeydeschanel: my favorite film critic. sensible, funny, and generally way more thoughtful with her critiques than other influencer critic types.
book recs
🌟bigbooklady: great recommendations that are outside of the run-of-the-mill indie girl genre
🌟ana wallace: same deal but more mature. opens my eyes & tastes in a way that social media doesn’t allow for
🌟carley thorne: standup comedian and booktube veteran with a balance of popular and niche recs. retired from booktube-ing for a style that i’m not jazzed about, but i still love her.
lifestyle/vlog-y
🌟linh truong: i’ve been following them since high school and we’re the same age. big comfort creator, i think i’ve seen nearly every video
🌟benjiplant: goated interior design content. unfortunately, he and his partner’s home was destroyed by the los angeles fires. go watch his videos and don’t you dare skip the ads!!
🌟kate brock: vibes. good vlogs, good outfits. lots of comfort
🌟halle burns: another creator close to my age who makes wonderful, comforting content. i’m not a vegan but i loveee to watch her put together the craziest veg food combos.
🌟2014 dan and phil: not much else to say here!
