Warnings- implications of character death, mental issues

“You’re skipping school Zach. Do you have a girlfriend?” Matt asks his son as he looks at him through the rearview mirror. Zach looked up at him with large widened eyes before glaring at him.

“W-What no,” Zach says and Matt softened slightly, but Zach could see the judgment in his father's eyes along with maybe some sadness. Just like everyone else who knew him, and knew what happened.

“Of course he does. Her name is Mila.” Emily says almost like she was singing. 

“Shut up Em, just shut up.” He says through gritted teeth. The car went silent and Zach turned his body away and scrolled on his phone. A photo from his memories of a year ago popped up as a notification. His eyes flicker to the small square of the picture and his heart clenched. 

“You shouldn’t yell at her.” A sweet familiar voice says next to him and his head whipped around. “She’s just being a little sibling. Oh and on the topic of little siblings, how's my little brother?”

Zach tuned out everyone and everyone, all he could focus on was your beautiful face. You sat there between him and his sister, seatbelt secured around you, and the sun shining behind you.

You looked like an angel.

“Y/n I- I missed you.” 

“Do you? Because it looks like you’re moving on from me quickly.” You peered over to his phone to see a picture of a girl on his lock screen. Zach’s eyes widened and unlocked his phone and went to the settings to change the wallpaper. 

“S-She changed it, m’sorry.” He frantically started going through his albums of pictures… pictures of you. Suddenly his face was grabbed gently by you. The warmth of your hand was so comforting he melted into it. 

“It’s okay Zach, it’s been almost a year.” 

“No, it's not baby, I don’t know what I was thinking.” He was rambling so you pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. 

“I missed you too.” Tears ran out of his brown eyes and down his cheeks. You looked at his neck, at the orange headphones making you smile. “I'm glad you took my headphones, keeping them nice a safe.” 

“He’s forgetting you,” Zach says and you frown.

“I know, he’s still so young and I can only watch over him. Please don’t forget me, Zach.” You say and dig your face into the crook of his neck. He closed his eyes and dug his face into your hair, taking in your smell.

“Never.” 

“Zach.”

“Zach!”

“ZACH!” 

Zach blinked and he was back in reality. The car was stopped and pulled over to the side of the road. His father was grabbing him by his shoulders and Emily was looking at him in shock. 

“What-What?.” He looked around, searching for you. “Y/n? Where? She was just here. WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!” He practically screamed at Matt. 

“Son do not yell. Did you take your meds, have you been taking them at all?” Zach wiped his glossy eyes and looked down at his now-changed lock screen.

“N-No.” His breathing started to pick up and he clutched his chest. 

“Breath Zach.” Emily placed a hand on her brother’s arm. 

“How many times have we told you that taking your medication is important?” Matt said before sighing and taking in his son’s state. 

He was sobbing at this point, snot and tears down his face.

“I-I just wanted to see her again.”

My Best and Worst Films of 2023

So yeah it probably seems a bit weird that I'm posting my best/worst films of 2023 list in 2025, well there's a reason for that.

Since for my 2020 list I had managed to cover both theatrical and streaming releases, I had planed on doing the same from then on. Unfortunately due to a combination of procrastination and me finally managing to get a job after donkey's years of searching, I've fallen a bit behind on streaming. But it was starting to get a bit ridiculous so I've decided to say fuck it and post rough versions of my 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 lists with only the theatrical releases so far, and I'll just add the streaming ones on in italic as I try and catch up over the year.

Hopefully I'll have the lists done by the end of the year. Hopefully.

So anyway in 2023, I saw 70 new theatrical releases (which ones - along with any streaming releases - can be found on my Letterboxd page: ‎(letterboxd.com/firebirdmaximus/list/2023-releases/), sixteen more than the previous year (firebirdmaximus.tumblr.com/post/776951623718207488/the-best-and-worst-films-of-2022).

And once again a note to non-UK viewers, as with previous years, since I’m English and live in England and subsequently watch films at cinemas in England, this list will be going by UK release dates so If you see a film on the list that you swore was from 2022 it was probably not released here until 2023, contrarywise If your surprised that a particular movie from this year is not on the list it might not have been released here til 2024.

If you see a streaming film here on my list and it's not in italics, that means it probably got a limited theatrical release somewhere in my area and that's how I saw it.

Instead of finishing one project I start something new

These are my characters Retribution (Rhett) and his daughter Benevolence (Bean). Rhett is a single father who works hard to keep his daughter safe in a world that isn’t always kind to tieflings. Bean is a kind and stubborn girl dead-set set on helping everyone she can, big or small.

Retribution

Autoilevan Liam Neesonin perseen alla on pommi. Ei voi nousta penkistä tai tulee paukku. Puhuva pää rimpauttaa tuntemattomasta numerosta ja alkaa jakaa tehtäviä.

Kapteeni käskee -kamaa. Käy tylsäksi ennen puoltaväliä.

2/5

“Target Israel and we will target you,” the senators tell Khan, adding that they will “sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”

Rather ominously, the letter concludes: “You have been warned.” In a statement to Zeteo, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said, “It is fine to express opposition to a possible judicial action, but it is absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by threatening judicial officers, their family members and their employees with retribution. This thuggery is something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators.”

While neither Israel nor the United States are members of the ICC, the Palestinian territories were admitted with the status of a member state in April 2015. Khan, a British lawyer, was appointed as the ICC’s chief prosecutor in February 2021, a week after the court had already decided, by majority, that its territorial jurisdiction extended to “Gaza and the West Bank.”

In the wake of the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, Khan announced that the court had jurisdiction over any potential war crimes committed both by Hamas militants in Israel and by Israeli forces in Gaza. The ICC, per the Rome Statute of 2002, can charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide – and recent reports suggest Israeli officials increasingly believe that the ICC is preparing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other senior cabinet and military officials.

On Friday, The Hague-based office of the chief prosecutor published an unprecedented statement on Twitter, calling for an end to threats of retaliation against the ICC and attempts to “impede” and “intimidate” its officials. The statement added that such threats could “constitute an offence against the administration of justice” under the Rome Statute.
