Sincere thanks for the good vibes; today was nowhere near as bad as I'd feared

what if a femme robot liked it when her butch creator performed routine maintenance tasks on her (in a sexual way) (and they were both girls)? i guess you'll have to read my new (free) comic to find out!!

As planned I watched Nope tonight. And as expected, it was a fascinating experience that made me wish I could cozy up inside the mind of Jordan Peele. It's a wild movie that defies expectations and genres, the story is given to you boldly and honestly. Look, man, this floating entity is hiding in clouds and swallowing horses - and much more. Pretty straightforward. To me, it was a movie that didn't need much explaining.

I absolutely loved the parallels between a family in the entertainment industry that treats horses like partners, and a man in the industry that treats them as bait, below him. OJ and Lucky were a team from the start, and they survived as one.

Also noteworthy are the parallels between the scene where Gordy goes on a rampage and the fate that ensued for Jupe. They are meant to perform when Gordy starts killing them all. They are meant to be watched, and so Jupe maintains this idea even as an entertainer himself - he calls the UFO "The Watchers" (or "The Viewers"? I forgot I think, my bad, I'm very ill) and says this to the audience so nonchalantly.

Of course, the creature attacks when it feels watched. But what I found super interesting is that it itself looks like an eye. One could argue it looks like a lot of things, a hat, a mushroom, an alien spaceship, etc. But in it I saw a floating eye that begged for contact so that it can feast on its audience. An eye that drains everything else around it (power, sounds, motors, etc.) and asks for utmost attention. And of course, an eye that stares back.

What I really learned to love about Jordan Peele's movies is that they end up having a happy ending - even if sinister or twisted. Maybe except for Us, but I could argue otherwise. Emerald and OJ got their footage of the alien, Angel survived too, and they all ended up safe. There's a lot to be said about the lengths they went to in order to get photographs and visual evidence of the creature, just to be believed, only for the news crew to arrive and start reporting on what they had just witnessed. Not gonna say it all was for nothing, just that I see it as a statement for a world that prioritizes footage, photos, videos in a catastrophe, rather than the safety of those affected by it. The whole movie no one is concerned for the abducted, only for the alien.

All in all, I strongly wish I had more Jordan Peele movies to watch. Nope was another 5 star movie for me, although at times it was a little too sci-fi for me, but I went in fully aware of that and enjoyed it a lot nonetheless.

I love this. Specific scene from what if tomorrow comes because if you look closely at Ted he looks incredibly confused to have hands.

WANDEE GOODDAY (2024) EP. 3 // EP. 8

It’s wild that the framing device of Iroh sharing Zuko’s backstory is he’s telling it to a Fire Nation officer doesn’t know how Zuko got his scar, but then a season later an Earth Kingdom farmer does (by which I mean in “Zuko, Alone” some guy heckles him like “heyyyyy this kid’s dad burned and banished him”). It’s fun to think of in-universe reasons for that. A good one is Fire Nation propaganda, another is that the story of Zuko’s whole deal gets spread in the intervening time, but my favorite is that the Fire Nation officer was just not good at keeping up with politics
