Iconic. Wonderfully made film about the outcast experience in suburbia with the constant bullying. Yet even so nothing changes for Dawn Wiener and her bleak environment, she still deals with the neglect & bullying even after all she went through, and she sadly accepts that this is her reality. But what’s fucked up is that this is too accurate to real life especially those experience who been labeled weird or outcast & I can relate to it too much that it’s painful.
(Except I was an outcast from a hood so…)

One of my favorite movies from growing up. Gave my music obsessed self unrealistic expectations to what my life would be like and a whole lot of wardrobe envy. Still such a comfort film for me today as long as I don’t think too deeply about the plot.

my profound attachment to this movie is probably something i should unpack with a therapist... nonetheless, it is absolutely nasty, creepy, and reminiscent of all the aspects of girlhood i struggled with the most. u should definitely check it out :)

first I was like she’s just like me :) and then I was like wait…
Also HBO Girls almost every time Marnie talks and in a lot of Hannah moments too, unfortunately for both.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me was really grounding for me when I watched it as a teen because of how it depicted the alienating experience of secretly suffering trauma in your household (not sexual for me to be clear) and the way that can cause you to spin out, self-destruct, and hurt the people who love you.

I honestly don’t know how they work or what they are, but they mostly consist of just celebrities or people idk. But until PI.FYI makes a real one for me and you one day, just make one for yourself just for fun. It’s actually quite an ego boost.
Anyways here’s my own that I made⬇️
