Today I watched

Shelter (2007) dir. Jonah Markowitz

[Run Time: 1 hour, 37 minutes, Language: English]

Summary: When his college dreams are sidelined by family obligations, a young man finds comfort in surfing with his best friend's brother.

Cast: - Trevor Wright as Zach - Brad Rowe as Shawn

___

Shelter was such a lovely little film. Another good example of how a film does not have to be ridiculously expensive in order to be good. It’s definitely an indie film, the video quality and the acting is not top tier but the performances are still compelling and the story is able to fit quite a bit of complexity in to a rather short run time. (Especially considering this movie was filmed in 21 days). 

I think overall my favorite part of Shelter was the way the film used Zach’s graffiti as a way to show him working through his own feelings. Zach’s life is chaotic even though he is stuck in the same cycles, trapped in the same town and his artwork mimics that. I loved watching the graffiti on the side of the building grow in to something that was chaotic, in to something tangible, something legible, something that was no longer abstract but was a picture of home and of love. To watch Zach build this for himself, to watch him sit and ponder it, to watch him stare miserably at his graffiti disappearing back behind beige paint when he’s adrift after dumping Shawn and trying to wrestle all his dreams back to the pit where he stored them the first time he undermined his own desires for the sake of his family.

My second favorite part was watching the relationship between Zach and Shawn unfold. The way that Zach kept going for the intimacy between him and Shawn and then retreating the second that his sister would ask him questions. The second she would call him out for putting himself before others. She didn’t want to deal with the possibility that he was a fag so he internalized that homophobia and started lashing out at Shawn, started getting worried about leaving Shawn alone with Cody because his sister was worried about Shawn being gay and alone with her child. But there was such a hunger and desperation there, you could feel it in the scene where Zach initiates physical intimacy.

And you know that Shawn is going to be really good for Zach because even as Zach was lashing out at him, even after Zach dumped him, and he got some (imo) necessary correction about the class differences between them and why it is harder for Zach to actually go for what he wants, he still submitted Zach’s portfolio to Cal Arts. Shawn wanted to make sure that Zach had the opportunity to choose for himself what he wanted. 

There were a lot of things that I hated about Jeanne, but she was a complex character who did the right thing in the end, and so I have to give her some props for that. I appreciate that the film made sure that we all knew that there was love there between Jeanne and Zach because so many of Jeanne’s behaviors throughout the film feel selfish and detached from genuine care for her family. 

And finally, I am so glad that Cody ended up with Zach and Shawn. The kid broke my heart open when he turned to Zach early on in the film and said “you’re my dad” to his uncle, especially when he continued to claim Zach as his father even after Zach explained the nature of their relationship. But jokes on Zach cause Cody was right all along. Zach is his Dad now, and so is Shawn, and that is the best possible outcome for Cody that could exist. I loved that we ended the film on all of them playing together on the beach.

Favorite Moment

I was going to initially claim Cody calling Zach his father as my favorite moment of the film, then it was going to be the introduction to the sex scene. But after completing the movie I have actually landed on the moment where Shawn and Zach are in bed together talking about the future and Shawn tells Zach he’s so beautiful and Zach responds with “shut up” and Shawn’s voice goes soft and quiet and asks him why he can’t take a compliment and Zach just goes silent and small under the weight of that. His little “thanks”? Ohhhhhhhhh it killed me. What a wonderful scene!

can't find a gif of the actual scene, so please have this beautiful gif by @indigomood instead

Favorite Quote

“What changed?”  “I did.” 

Final Score: 

9/10 

I understand why it has been so high up on the list of the Top 100 Gay Films for so long.

Noone can tell me Thrawn doesn't give off major girl dad energy.

Whenever I imagine him theoretically having kids it's always with daughters (probably because of the skywalkers lol).

My headcanon for own fictional timline is that Thrawn returns to his people after sorting out the Grysk and the Chiss find some other way to navigate the unknown regions without the navigators. Thrawn and his SO adopt a couple of the Skywalkers that no longer have families to return too...

But that's just my own gushy headcanon lol.

Dude/Ma'am/Non Binary friend...

I LOVE girl-dad Thrawn!!!!

EVERY TIME I give him a daughter! He is girl-dad coded to the CORE!

He needs women in his life, whether it is an SO, a friend, or a sister; he NEEDS women in his life in some way, and what better way but giving him a daughter ?!

He is good with kids, he is good with women, he would be WONDERFUL as the father of a lil girl!

He would be absolutely crazy about her! To me, he would see it as a great blessing to give birth to a daughter (cause Chiss don't have sexism in the same way that we do, I feel it is lighter, or at least different)

But yeah, Girl dad Thrawn, each day every day!

Not that he would do bad or don't love his son, but he would be C.R.A.Z.Y. for his daughter! Absolutely feral!

Whether they are his blood children or adopted like the Skywalkers, he would be so attentive and doting to his little girls. He would be the most gentle father imaginable, so patient and tender with them.

He definitely bonds with his babies and kids with artsy activities of any form! Paint, drawings, clay, color cubes, make-up, etc... Its artsy time with dad!

Okay so... the new Miraculous Ladybug trailer of season 6 is crazy

Like really, it's 3 AM and I'm completely freaking out. I still don't know if the youtube video I watched is just a fever dream or real... So I just needed to share a few of my thoughts about the new season, because none of my friends is really into the Miraculous fandom so... yeah :)

-First of all: I absolutely love the new animation style. Don't get me wrong: The old one will forever be my favourite, but I really like the new suit of Ladybug and all the buildings and that stuff and just Paris in general looks so good in my opinion. (Except for the Eiffel-Tower in that one scene with Tomoe)

-Did y'all see the new feature on Ladybugs Yoyo? The one where she can select a superhero for a mission. I honestly find that amazing, but that leads to a few questions like, do other Miraculous-Holders also have that feature? How does a person knows that they're called? Do they get some kind of message on their Miraculous? But what would that be? Because it obviously can't be anything that draws to much attention. Is it like in the Movie, when Chat Noir's ring is blinking? I'm just so excited for the new season!

-The akumatization of Sublimation is c.r.a.z.y. Because Lila (or Cerise) is just such a good villain and she's a great manipulator, and I'm really curious about her new disguise in season 6 and how her relationship with Marinette is going to be. Also the new butterfly mask is so pretty! I have this theory, that Cerise is just going to do the same thing Lila did, but she's just gonna do it smarter and way more subtle. I think that this time it's really gonna be only Marinette who knows about Cerise's lies... But back to the akumatization: I'm really sad that we didn't got to see Cerise's new suit, but hopefully that's still going to come! She also seems to work more with the akumatized persons, because she asked Sublimation how they want to be named and she didn't just came up with a name herself. Probably one of her manipulations. Also did you notice, that Cerise's voice somehow changed during the time she was speaking? At least I had the impression it did... Almost as if she was trying to let people know nearly nothing about her, not even the sound of her voice...

-I absolutely love Marinette's weird costume she wears in one scene, where she pretends to be a villain obsessed with cleaning. It just reminds me of all those silly plans to get Marinette and Adrien together from seasons 1 to 3, which I missed a bit in season 4 and 5, which I'm totally okay with, but I really hope, that it's going to come back in season 6. Also did you notice, that in the Trailer there's no Adrinette scene...?

-A few weeks ago the names of the episodes where released, and ever since then I thought a lot about the fact, that they resemble the titels of old episodes so much (I bet everyone was thinking of them). And most people say, that the episodes are just going to be similar, but what if we were wrong and the episodes are actually the exact opposite of their title...?

So... I guess that's all my mind can produce at 3 (Now past 4) AM...

Sorry if my english is horrible, It's not my first language and it hasn't been that long since I started learning it, so nearly my whole vocabulary comes from fanfics and tumblr posts and stuff like that. (That's also why my grammar isn't nearly as good as I wished it to be)

Also just as a little introduction, because I'm new on tumblr and feel super awkward because I don't have a clue how this works (And I'm probably going to regret writing this in the morning but whatever):

Heyyy, my name's Mina and I've somehow got into the Harry Potter and Miraculous Ladybug Fandom and now I can't find the way out anymore so... yeah :)
