YOU ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING KHAKIS.
The funniest part about liking Serious Angst Themes while simultaneously fixating on a silly blorbo from my show is that 13 year old me would be writing the exact same type of fanfics as me now. Real tragedy enjoyers know ts for life
Me: what if my favorite characters smoked cigarettes ans has severe trauma 😈
13 year old me: And drank alcohol and had horrible coping mechanisms too
Me: thats badass. I like the way you think
13 year old me: stop saying cusswords my mom Will get mad
Me: sorry
13 year old me: why are you a boy
Me: We're getting off topic.

You know despite my love for the name jack used by narrator in the movie, thematically speaking the book usage of joe for those tidbits about his body work better. Joe is the most generic male name you could have. It shows how replaceable he is. How he is just a body for your average worker. Your average Joe. If he died all he'd be is john doe. He is just a man going through the motions without an identity. Even with the most basic name in the world, he is still only the body and parts of joe. He is not a person.
this is absolutely not that deep but it drives me crazy how there is like 7127727272 various and deeply thought analysis of mike but everyone says the same repetitive and boring takes about Scott
a pet peeve of mine is when people characterize the narrator as an innocent victim of tyler's plans.. like dude he was fully participating in project mayhem for a bit there. his biggest gripe was with the fact he wasn't "special" to tyler anymore and wasn't let in on the plans first. he's only snapped out of it when tyler is fully gone and bob ends up dead + marla's safety is put at risk. what you have to understand about him is he only let tyler seduce him into his ideology because he has a shaky moral compass to begin with. he literally starts the story by exploiting other people's terminal illness as a sleeping aid lmao he was already not a great guy tyler just made it Worse i think
