On My Cop Arc (have To Proctor An Exam)

That moment when Joel tries to get up and Ellie thinks he’s going to be able to because he’s her dad and all dads are invincible.

Until they aren’t.

Every child eventually learns their parents are people.

It happens for some more dramatically than others I suppose.

Never say that Lou Wilson doesn’t commit to the bit. He could have had Fabian vomit in front of his friends. Instead he shit his pants so hard that it flew at the teacher in front of his whole class. Commitment to the bit

one thing no one ever teaches you is that you can just make things nicer and more intentional- you can take your energy drink, pour it in a rocks glass over ice with a slice of lime on the rim, and sip it slow. and you'll think, "wow i am the biggest faggot to have ever lived". and you know what? you're right.

we all know about "yes and" and "no but" in improv and ttrpgs, but I feel like Brennan has added a third option called "sorry what" just for playing with Emily (saying her words back to her when she tells him that a caterpillar was chasing a butterfly or that this note was left on the steps of the police house)

I am so ready to see Gorgug being smart and using that new intelligence score on some sick ass tinkering

I wonder what would have happened if in that moment Ellie screamed “Dad” instead of “Joel.”

Would Abby have stopped or killed him faster?

My friend once said that “you have to be both gay and mentally ill to understand Siken. You can’t just be one or the other. You have to be both.” But I think writing is universal. The whole point is to convey the experiences of others and ourselves in a way that people who haven’t had those experiences can understand. But yet, I haven’t met someone who isn’t gay and mentally ill who likes Siken. Maybe I just don’t meet many people who aren’t gay and mentally ill. Maybe we try to find reasons that it’s better to feel the way we do. Like maybe I’m depressed but I can understand Siken. It’s some kind of solace.

What is “understanding” poetry anyway?

I used to hate the word faggot but now I realize that it's probably one of the only things that the gay community has left that isn't being sanitized, shined, and sold back to us at a premium by deceitful ass companies who claim to like us but then vote for policies that kill us. you're not gonna see a bank in a pride parade with banners that say "we love faggots" but you sure as hell will see a gay person saying "I love being a faggot" it feels so more real.

and I want it to stay controversial too because if a bank ever feels like they have the right to say "haha faggot right guys? 😏🏳️‍🌈" we should be able to publicly execute their ceo

help. I fall for every attractive gay woman that gives me attention
