built a vanity today and felt butch about it but god at what cost

[elbdot]

Did you know that I think in ultra sun and moon that lusamine and gladion see mohn earlier than this, at least according to what I think is this story's timeline as it has lusamine meet mohn and decide not to remind him instead of gladion. Still a good story, just curious.

I saw that secret ending and while I think letting him go was a good choice, I'm just not a big fan of how they executed it. Overall there were a lot of writing choices in USUM I had a problem with, while other moments I appreciated. It's a shame how they tried to downplay Lusamine as a villain and an manipulative, abusive parent and instead made her a "sympathetic anti-hero". I like that they added interactions between Hau and Guzma, but Hau having to "grow up" by becoming more serious instead of just enjoying battles I'm also not a hUGE fan of in its execution, because I think Hau should be able to be both. Serious when he needs to be but otherwise upbeat and lighthearted like he used to be. I think just having FUN battling is OKAY and Hau's optimism and joy is in my opinion one of his greatest strengths as a character. He lights up the room! :D

This is why I continue to stick to the original Sun and Moon storyline and don't include anything introduced in USUM, except for maybe some of the additional Pokemon some characters get.

OK wait turns out i'm not done talking about the scene contrasts!! In the top two: the lighting is dark even though it's daytime and the entire scene is shot with a bluer color scheme to make it feel cold. Lilith makes herself physically smaller in the space (look how little space she takes up in that first photo) and we see her head on, as an equal. The dinner scene is also dark as hell. The shadows almost seem to consume everything around Lilith and her mother. We also get shots facing the stairs and the entryway, not giving us much else.

In comparison, the fight with Ava is shot with warm golds and oranges and brightly lit. Lilith takes up SPACE with the width of her wings and we get this upwards shot of her standing on the balcony that signifies strength; it's the kind of upwards shot used for somebody with power. I don't think it's the same dining room as the one in the first scene with her mother, but she and Ava duke it out in a much better-lit dining room–this time the things that are in shadow are the people. Additionally we finally see the house from an entirely different perspective, moving through walls and facing the walls we didn't see before.

It's how the cinematography echoes her personal journey that gets me. Lilith has tossed aside her previous perspective and sees her family home in a literal new light and perspective. Whereas it was cold before, a place where she had no power, she now enters it with a fucking crash and establishes her presence there with no reservations. Whereas she was once held back by her mother's expectations, she can now see them for what they truly are–a desire for a Warrior Nun, not for a daughter.

got a major pest problem this year actually

[etherealspacejelly]

i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes

theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"

its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.

he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"

again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.

what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful

Guys did you hear the cure to bigotry is imperialism and genocide

[captainjonnitkessler]

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on
