Creativity Defined

So the Christmas before he died, my father told us a story about his grandmother. How she was giving birth, alone in her house, and a leopard came to try and steal her goat. She fought it off, and THEN cut her umbilical cord.

So, after watching Green Snake on Netflix today, I was asking myself if I have some sort of bias about watching African stories rather than Asian or Caucasian. Then I asked myself if it’s a matter of how the stories are written. Then I realized that I as a writer could do with writing more of MY stories, if I wanted to see them out in the world.

Can you guess where this is going?

Yeah, I’m writing the story of Tabala. It’ll mostly be fictionalized but if you want me to add something specific (I’m talking to my relatives here) please do get in touch.

@Netflix would you make this movie?

Marcus Devereux is trudling along slowly but surely. Think Dexter narrating his life to you but he’s only six months old and filled with magic.

i should’ve asked you questions
i should’ve asked you how to be
asked you to write it down for me
should’ve kept every grocery store receipt
‘cause every scrap of you would be taken from me

Most Emotional Barn Scene Moment

Once again….. hooboy….

I feel like the Barn Scene (capitalize that shit and give it the respect it deserves) was just one huge emotional gut punch. Everyone knows how each syllable uttered was dripping in the feels. I can’t pick one…. Here’s my list…

1- Dean’s dorm room confession was such a revelation. It changed EVERYTHING about the pilot, and honestly it has changed so much about how I’ve viewed every interaction since. That’s how big it was. Even though we already knew that Sam was Dean’s whole life, something about that story elevated Dean’s love for Sam even more…. And I thought that was impossible… soooo…. Yea, that killed me

2- Dean asking Sam to stay with him…. This is where I think I stopped breathing when watching the finale live…

3- Sam Winchester’s freaking face when he realized Dean was dying I may never get over Jared’s acting here and looking like that. He managed to look scared, surprised, heartbroken, defeated, desperate and confused all in the matter of 3 seconds.

4- Dean struggling to lean his head in against Sam, so Sam finishes off the distance for him. The forehead touch was the most intimate moment we’ve ever had between the brothers. It was their desperation to almost melt in to one another- to be as close as possible before Dean was inevitably taken away…. Ugh, kill me

5- The pause. You know what I mean. “It’s always been you………………………………………………… and me.” It was so clearly another way of telling Sam that there was never anything or anyone that ever came close to having that amount of love from Dean. It was the verbal declaration of the codependency. That to Dean, Sam always came above everything- and without him, Dean felt an all encompassing emptiness.

There is SO MUCH more! I even missed some of the big ones. I know it, but I’ll stop here and get into the tags to read everyone else’s amazing takes. All hail the Barn Scene 👑
