#bettersweet

[squeakadeeks]

im gnawing at the bars of my cage. ive been increasingly displeased with my costume work, i can compare my recent craftsmanship to work from 2 years ago and that work is objectively better on a technical level. i KNOW this is happening because for one reason or another i've felt this impetus to put out something new EVERY single month and do one project right after another so my work has been getting progressively sloppier and rougher.

i've tried to actively combat it during a project by trying to get myself to focus and slow down, but at this point im almost certain i have to take a break and go through a hard reset period of a month or two (if not more) where i dont make any costumes at all. BUT this is where the gnawing comes in bc i know that taking a long break will be the best choice of action on all fronts but i want to make CAUGHSTOUMES NOW

Being a masculine trans women is this really bettersweet process whereby I'm called he/him but for the wrong reasons

Old Enough (Marisa Silver, 1984)

A teen movie with a clear empathetic mark ingested into it by its creators. I suppose they all have that, whether trying to compassionately/selfishly relate those years how filmmakers see them, how they believe teenagers now see them or basely trying to fulfil some sample of teenage desires. This has heart. And while imperfect, that heart combined with some great performances and sense of city makes it very endearing. This was a long time teen movie white whale for me and it feels bettersweet to cross it off.

fiction related question: do all main characters dying a tragic death count as a ‘bettersweet’ ending?

that depends on context. did they accomplish their goals before dying? then maybe.

bittersweet ending is an ending that doesn't necessarily require death, but basically requires victory at some cost. often that cost is death, but if the character developed and self-actualized it can be bittersweet. frex, if a character was an egoist and never cared about other people, but then he found friends and at the critical moment decided to die to save them, it's bittersweet ending bc it's sad they died, but in that they proved that grew into a better, more developed and connected person who actually cared about their friends.

I wonder if You shouldn't of me

I wonder if you thought of me on this bettersweet day

If you remembered me

Or if someone else is already making you happy

Its so sad to admite that im not longer there

And that you're not here

And its so sad that my Heart is so Broken that i cant even wish you a Happy birthday

And i cry with the broom

And i do wish you the best

I do

Even if i cant say It to you

Bettersweet Company [Harper/Olivia]

@aquamanandfriends

“Tell me this isn’t so much better than wasting our time with those silly boys playing at being men.” The two of them were gorgeous and everyone knew it, including the two boys on set who tried, more than once, to convince the girls to spend their one day off after a week of grueling set hours clubbing. Harper poured Olivia a generous glass of wine before plopping down on the plush mattress of her fluffy hotel bed, then reached for the plate of chocolate covered strawberries she ordered from room service. “Better company, too.”

If you could choose the ending for jshk. How would it be? Happy, sad or bettersweet? What would happen in it?

ohhh if I were to be so indulgent…..I would just want it to be complete and utter joy, really. This is a manga with a general belief system of "you shouldn't settle for less than your dream", so it would be hypocritical for it to require our characters to fall into a bittersweet ending. Everyone should always keep trying, until they finally achieve their ultimate wish. 'Giving up' is against our moral. I would want the entire timeline rerouted, and to fully unpack that original future Tsuchigomori saw. For some reason, that was what was on the books…. so that has to in some way, be the 'authentic' timeline. I like to think it's the timeline composed of the truths of: if Tsukasa never came back, if Kou and Nene never entered the Red House, if Nene never met Amane on Tanabata, etc… just a complete uninterrupted natural timeline. No funny business other than the contained Red House imprisoning Tsukasa forever.

It would be a timeline where Amane is Nene-chan's teacher, and she's sorry for this listless older guy (Amane did not live so long ago that he would not be alive if he hadn't become a ghost.. he would be like, 55, NOW, but he could always meet Nene-chan in middle school too, and be in more like his 40s...)… who lost his twin at a young age…. wishes she could do anything for him. Nene-chan would remind him of Tsukasa, like she always does…. This Amane has also, not made it to the moon, not remotely. His simple Tanabata wish to be an astronaut does not come true-- he doesn't have a plethora of enchanted wishing-stripes given to him by a very special time-hopping girl, so his wish is meaningless, cosmically. He isn't anything close to an astronaut. This living Amane-sensei is seen by many as being some sort of ideal or happy man, some 'good timeline' but I don't think he would be, and I firmly do not believe it is 'the good timeline'… winding up a high school teacher is uhhhh… its not very impressive nor ambitious. He didn't become anything approaching his dreams. He seemingly settled for that which was possible for him to achieve. Kaii or human, I think Amane is a hopeless person, especially without either of his beloveds in his life. It's a piddly, meager life, of only existing for the sake of existing.

It's most charming to me if, somehow, by force of her feelings for Amane-sensei, Nene-chan is actually the root of all the timeline madness-- not Amane, not Tsukasa, but Nene-chan. She's our main character….she has some sort of enchanted quality…. so! I would actually like everything to ultimately be tied to her. I like Amane as this… doomed child…. and Tsukasa as his, equally doomed twin… these two just can't achieve anything on their own.

If I could choose any ending, I wish that we could do it all… that we could see Nene-chan as Amane-sensei's student… but that eventually, the final situation they turn up in is like, ah… Nene-chan becoming the twins, caretaker….? I would like to see Nene-chan living with both of the boys, making sure firsthand that their lives are happy…. I wish she could insist on the importance of Tsukasa being with Amane, too… I worry Tsukasa on his own, would too gladly leave Nene-chan and Amane alone together. I want it to be 'not good enough' for Nene…. we really love 'helped raise you' or 'grew up alongside you' romances in JSHK, lol (Sumire/Hakubo, Yako/Misaki, Akane/Aoi) so I think it'd be in AidaIro's tastes to have situations where everyone gets to kinda 'look after' each other, at some point.

I think my 'worst case scenario' is any ending where Tsukasa willingly churns himself into the soul furnace to power Amane's ideal future; its just not fair, and it would prove him right about needing to stay out of Amane's life, that existence is better without him, always, that he is no essential part of Amane's heart, that he is a burden, only, doomed to be such forever and ever, that the best he can be is DEAD. THAT WOULD CONTRADICT OUR MESSAGE!!! I want Nene-chan to know otherwise, and to fight for Tsukasa's place as much as Amane's. An advocate for these twins…. please, GOD!!! I want her to see what Amane living without Tsukasa was like…. to know that it's not fair for him to be asked to live without Tsukasa. We could return to the themes we visit in Picture Perfect… where we can't be satisfied with what paltry half-measure we have just because it's plausible. We have to dream of better, we have to want more than something just OK. Amane's life… cannot merely be, OK. You want him joyous…. you want him happy.

*picking my nose* man though, despite that I do think a lot about Akane/Aoi and the Minamotos, I think they contribute to the messages well, it's honestly impossible for me to say "where I'd like them to end up". All I really want is to see the Yugi twins and Nene-chan living successfully together. I have no idea how one saves Mitsuba, since his death doesn't even concern anything about Hanako-san >> just some guy who died, you know…. I can understand how/why Tsukasa wants to just completely flip everything asunder, and break every rule, to enable everything and anything to happen… I do not entirely know how you extricate the Minamoto family from their long, long lifetime, generations, of turmoil and self-inflicted abuse. I have no solution there. I simply want Nene-chan to use her sewing and cooking and gardening skills to raise the twins and bake them treats.

To put it simply: I want a very-very saccharine happy ending. In my mind it's a 15 year old Nene with the young boys clutching her Yukata at Tanabata.....

If Lovestruck does go down It'll be bettersweet. But Voltage screwed it self by copyrighting it's fans and screwing over their writers. I guess I'll stick with Choices and Romance Club. Especially Romance Club.

They let you get paywalled options for free once in awhile

Let you get the free outfits as well

Along with letting you read chapters of their stories for free without using teacups some.

In short I recommend Romance Club
