Y’all take notes: we go cry silently in the bathroom stall and use the points of toilet paper (or paper towels) to soak up the tears straight from our tear ducts. Makeup stays intact. We go on our merry way. It’s a finely honed scientific process.

hello to non-southern screenwriters writing scripts set in the south: no one calls it “sweet tea” except McDonald’s. it’s “tea” and if you want it unsweet, you ask for that but you’ll get a weird look, yw

i have never cried reading a script until 20 minutes ago. i can't believe i don't even know the writer's name but i hope in some universe this wins everything and gets made because it's too beautiful not to exist.
if it turns out to be shia tho, i quit.
