Thoughts after rereading GTN *spoilers*
1. once Cytherea realized who Gideon was, thusly realizing John was a perfect lyctor w/ alecto, why wouldn’t she cease her murderous plans and try to help them all achieve perfect lyctorhood? which would have more effectively posed a  threat to John than her plan to force him to come back to the first? is it cuz the RB drove her crazy that time she tried to bomb it? hmmm

Her eyes opened. A small, astonished smile creased her mouth. The smile transformed her face into an affliction of beauty that Gideon had heretofore managed to ignore.

I think this is why so many of us enjoy anime: they’re often very beautifully animated on top of incorporated complex and adult themes, but without the any of the offensive cringiness in like family guy or that dismissive and destructive nihilism characteristic of american adult cartoons like rick and morty
hey quick question why are all adult cartoons like that

Céline explains she wrote the “don’t regret, remember” scene for the last audition of Noémie and how her chemistry with Adèle moved her
(Gifs made by the one and only @bereaving​) 
“This scene is a scene that was not written in the script and that I wrote at a specific moment, for the last round of audition. The moment when we chose Noémie Merlant.
I decided to write a scene dedicated to those chemistry tests. A scene that would allow me to evaluate the level of intimacy, complicity, melodrama, emotions. A scene where I had decided to put everything. A scene of goodbyes before the real goodbyes.
This scene is decisive, almost epiphanic, in the choice of Noémie Merlant.
I shot this scene I had written just an hour before, and it was moving. The scene worked and above all it worked between them. There was a great chemistry, a great complicity, a great friendship, a lot of seduction without seduction.
There was such a strong sentimental charge between them when I was filming the scene and my heart was beating fast and I said to myself “this is it”. I saw a great equality between these two lovers. And it was a new image and it was the image that we were going to make together.
It’s a top shot so, here, we really have all the machinery that is set up to be forgotten. To have God’s point of view in this intimate exchange. These are shots that makes your heart beat so hard.
The shooting of this scene is not a lot of takes, it’s four takes. Here not only we worked on the light, but also on the way their hair are illuminated, how they blossom. Something that makes them look like they could be all ages.”

Central to the film is a reclamation of the Orpheus myth, a version of which the three young women read aloud together one night. Sophie registers distress at Orpheus’s fatal, selfish incompetence in looking back at Eurydice when he was told not to, and Marianne suggests he may have done it on purpose, preferring to lose the woman and savor, instead, the romance of his grief, making not “the lover’s choice, but the poet’s.” But it’s Héloïse who removes, for once, the fixation on Orpheus, his failings, and his loss. What if, she says to Marianne with an edge of defiance, it was Eurydice herself who chose art over staying together, who rather than leave the underworld with Orpheus, stopped and called out “Turn around,” preferring to remain down there and be preserved in poetry. A kind of freedom and a kind of permanence, rather than, as eighteenth-century marriage looks to be, an unwilling exchange of one for the other. —  In Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Love is a Work of Art

YES Shippuden should never have happened. It’s Too Much plot, so much so that it completely eclipses all character development. Like... Naruto alone is a great story of coming of age, loss, war, trauma, tragedy, military industrial complex, I mean, COME on, so good, but Shippuden shits the bed entirely except for the fight scenes. It starts out alright, but completely flops over time. :/
i do think if naruto was shorter and had an open ending and no boruto it would be like a classic the way other older anime are classics and examined and debated in maybe even an academic setting but since nothing is left to the imagination and its just THROWING new content at u theres really no arguments to be had except those among us gays
