Supernatural is constantly calling into question what it means to be human and the often fine line between humanity and monstrosity. (Edmundson, 2016)

Yet, disconcerting though this unwelcome presence may be, American literary history is replete with plots that depend upon the incest theme. (Nesteruk, 1997)

Imagined within the framework of a show dedicated to the supernatural, these complexities make the series an important part of the Gothic tradition. (Edmundson, 2016)
image
the convention of incest within the Gothic genre was used for the most part to invoke disgust and abhorrence, and to signal the downfall of any who become involved in it. (Holliday, 1998)

The general use of the incest theme is to exemplify and explore the dark night of the human soul. (Nesteruk, 1997)

The power of the incest theme stems from the putative role of incest in the very formation and self-definition of what it is to be human - and therefore the definition what it is to be non-human, or, indeed, inhuman. (Nesteruk, 1997)
image
The series is deeply concerned with love, obsession, and obsessive love; the discourses of romantic and familial love are often so tangled within it that they are indistinguishable from one another in outcome and effect. (Tosenberger, 2008)

“But I’ve already written this a hundred times” <- write it a hundred more times, this is not your job, do what you want

“But who is this for” <- do it for yourself so that your soul doesn’t die

“But what if I don’t get any likes or comments” <- this voice is the death of all creative joy, ignore it as much as possible

three--rings

I’d just like to nominate “do it for yourself so that your soul doesn’t die” as a new iconic phrase.  Litany against creative apathy or something

oh god I need like a book of these reminders idk how I went from that to feeling like everything I do has to be perfect and it's really slowing me down 🥲
