#and also so personal

the inspection was so beautiful to me. it's very much a movie that makes the homoeroticism in the military, or similar spaces, text and it was so refreshing to see.

it is also a movie very much in communication with movies about the military (and the USMC) that you might have seen before, full metal jacket, jarhead is mentioned explicitly, but it seeks to show us a different side to them.

(there is in fact a scene of the protagonist sitting on the toilet that is very reminiscent of full metal jacket, but what he's about the swallow is not his gun XD )

there is a poetry to the images and i loved the emotional pitch of each scene, i'm so in awe of how precisely you feel them but also in how subtle they are. it's a huge achievement.

i don't think the movie subverts the genre as such but it queers it and gives you small bits of insight into this life from the perspective of someone who experienced it. there was a post about past lives the other day, about how pragmatic it is, and i think the inspection is similarly pragmatic and not tempted by melodrama. it's a very refreshing mood to witness.

it's a hugely impressive film to me and i'm really glad i caught it. top notch acting, top notch cinematography and just a beautifully conveyed story.

i’ve started babysitting for a VERY christian family which is great because they pay me a lot of money but as someone who was raised almost completely agnostic it’s kind of insane. the 2 year old keeps asking me to read her stories from the bible. (why are we reading david and goliath to a 2 year old????) the 5 year old told me today that he was going to bring his legos to heaven with him. he also has repeatedly told me that the lego spaceships he builds are stronger than jesus. (not sure what to say to that. do i deny it??? are things allowed to be stronger than jesus??) had to stop myself mid sentence today because i almost told them im not going to heaven which would DEFINITELY have caused several meltdowns. they’re also both completely fascinated by my nose ring

14 year old artists listen to me right now (gripping you by the shoulders) STOP caring about your "internet presence" right naow. Draw slower and stop trying to boil your art down to an acceptable marketable brand

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

at the friday panel andrew wincott said raphael and astarion should go on holiday together and i can’t stop thinking about it

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

Book 2 au with Zuko and Katara Lee and Huamei

Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.
