Is there anything sadder than the little chunk of Kikis Delivery Service when Kiki says "I used to really like flying before it was my job" and then gets so burned out that her magic stops working and she cant talk to Jiji anymore and she tries so hard to FORCE the magic that she breaks her mothers broom and stays up all night, alone, trying to make a new one and crying?
And I know it is all ok in the end- Kiki has friends who look out for her and she takes care of herself and finds her place.
But fuck, those 20 minutes just hurt my heart so much.
there’s got to be at least one trans woman named eve out there whose deadname is adam. and she’s the funniest person to ever grace this earth with her presence.
i love ponyo. it’s just like “yeah here’s this bizarro wizard who used to be human but is now amphibious and trying to bring about the apocalypse via elixirs and such who’s married to a gigantic powerful sea goddess who seems charmed by humanity but also doesnt care enough about them to stop her husband from trying to annihilate them. anyway, ignore all that: one of their goldfish children has a crush on a human boy!” and they were right
it took me like a full minute to realise that this was a post that was blocked with my own tumblr filters and not that “this post may contain reddit and american” was the funny post I was like wtf why can’t I reblog this
