Easy to forget contemporary cinema can still be so renegade, pensive, mournful, personal to such successful ends. Exceedingly elastic. Guffaw- and terror-inducing. Maybe major.

The parasocial is integral to teenage womanhood. In socialization, it is fantasy in proximity, daydreams of a timeline near this reality. In isolation, the distance of the obsession causes it to rot and decay, growing cold and withering as the novelty wears away. Patricia Coma is nothing beyond an ordinary influencer. She's beautiful; the kind of beauty where you can stick your hand in a blender, and the blades will refuse to spin for fear of damaging some priceless art form. She is ego itself. Franco-supremacy isnt localized necessarily in meaning, but her influential nationalism is one born of people who -think like me, talk like me-. People who deserve like me. Exceptionalism is more important than reality, but god forbid fate draws consequences and me me me I am going to live I cannot die. Patricia Coma says stand up. Patricia Coma says lie down. Patricia Coma says go to sleep. Patricia Coma says don't wake up.
With all due respect, if my father had made this for me I would emancipate myself from the family.
