@pscentral​ anniversary event: take two 2.0 — team colors & love

I've decided that in this life, I want to be defined by the things I love — not the things I hate, the things I'm afraid of, or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. Those things may be my struggles, but they're not my identity. I wish the same for you. We are what we love.

obviously if taylor were to do a secret session for ttpd it would be INCREDIBLE ( @taylornation hmu) however i fear that if i were to go i’d be too busy trying to pet her cats to pay attention to anything else

[joyofsaudade]

@taylorswift if ttpd is like a mix between folklore/evermore and midnights i think it’ll kill me

“Here, will this rice cake cracker sate your dark passanger?”

I saw the silly wonka movie

[joyofsaudade]

Lin manual Miranda if he wrote the songs for wonka (2023): now you might not know my name you might not know my game but after this number I promise you’ll never be the same / hey boys and girls it’s willy wonka here I got chocolates I got candies I got treats that make you cheer

Imagine making chocolate so good that you become a victim of police brutality and then have to survive multiple assassination attempts.

Just watched the Wonka movie.

I enjoyed it as a standalone film but especially enjoyed it as a prequel to the Gene Wilder Wonka. It retroactively made Wider’s Willy so much more tragic.

And that’s because Chalamet’s younger, earnest and kind Willy Wonka is CONSTANTLY having his kindness and compassion and belief in the good intentions of others thrown back at his face almost. Every. Single. Time.

What happens to him, in no particular order: People take advantage of him when he is at his lowest; they sabotage his chocolate; Hugh Grant steal his chocolate and beats him with a frying pan; he is nearly drowned by the chief of police; a boat he’s in is rigged to explode; they try to drown him AGAIN but now in melted chocolate under a church; he is tricked into debt and forced into indentured servitude; the chocolate mafia wants him dead; he has to crawl in the sewers just to sell his chocolate without the police beating the shit out of him at the chocolate mafia’s command, and a bunch of other moments either his earnest nature (or the fact he is illiterate, because by the way he is illiterate) is taken advantage of.

But he keeps believing in the good of others. He has friends, and a pseudo daughter that taught him how to read and his mother’s memory and so many dreams…

And then we arrive at Wilder Wonka. Who was betrayed one too many times. Who had his recipes stolen from him. Who shut himself from the world and trusts no one.

Who doesn’t care for these spoiled people walking around his factory, even if they were his last attempt at proving to himself that good people, good kids (Like Noodle) still exist.

Who is alone.

TL;DR: seeing a young Wonka who is so optimistic knowing how he is going to end up after being betrayed over and over and over again is a emotional experience that I was not quite ready for.

THIS WINTER. WILLIAM WONKA IS:

Water boarded

Illiterate

Shot at with a gun

Forced into indentured servitude

Being silenced by a monopoly that is employing a bribed police force

The happy smiler :-)

Wonka is a thrilling and heartwarming tale about 5 mentally ill and neurodivergent adults and an abused child destroying the lives and careers of 3 billionaires in order to achieve one man's dream to resurrect the dead and legalise maladaptive daydreaming.
