I think it says a lot about me as a person now that that the easiest way to make me cry as a child (and still now. I didn't think I'd tear up while writing this lmao) was to imply that the majesties and wonders of childhood and imagination are all a dream that inevitably leaves us as we get older that we can only regain in death and that the vivid inner worlds and personalities we give our toys in our early years either feel abandoned, vengeful, or die entirely as we age.
#i would literally have to leave the room for some movies or skip the endings of others because I found them so upsetting#a quick list of properties this post is about:#frosty the snowman‚ the polar express‚ the Carebears movie: the next generation‚ the velveteen rabbit‚ peter pan#the third tinkerbell movie‚ winnie the pooh‚ toy story 3‚ narnia‚ the wizard of oz (books)‚ the miraculous journey of edward tulane#and the songs goodbye yellow brick road‚ hey there delilah‚ and rainbow connection (by my own 9 year old interpretation)#The idea that adults can't access magic and it is something you HAVE to grow out of and this mystification of childhood upset me so much#I'm so glad I can put it into words now that I'm older#there are also probably many other properties that fit this description btw#like the brave little toaster and the raggedy anne musical I think#but after being traumatized by the velveteen rabbit I purposefully avoided most movies about toys#there are a lot of christmas shorts I also skip for that purpose#so anyway I'm putting it down this low for a reason#but I was reminded of this because now I'm using these same tattered toy and attatchment motifs in my own writing#but subverting that original meaning by sewing the toys back together so it becomes about repair and healing AS WELL AS the horrors of time#but also how such things can bring magic to people of all ages#and how love and comfort can still be provided by these inner worlds so many years later#the world is filled with beauty and wonder at any age and turning to cynicism and rejecting that reality is NOT what 'growing up' is about

Free movies right at your fingertips all for the low price of $0 with your library card!
Watch hundreds of films, television shows, theatrical productions, and documentaries without ads through Kanopy!
Looking for something to read instead? Download books, magazines, comics, and audio books through Libby!
Not sure where to start with Kanopy? Once you have your library card, here are some documentaries from my own watch list to get you started! (Tip: If a title is not available, request it through your library.)
Born in Gaza (2014) - filmed during the 2014 siege of Gaza, which left 507 children dead and 3,598 wounded, born in Gaza follows a group of young children growing up in a war zone.
Where Should the Birds Fly? (2013) - tells the stories of two remarkable young women living in Gaza and the struggle of Gazans trying to maintain their humanity and humour while hoping to find some sense of normality in a world that is anything but normal
Last Stop: Palestine (2013) - an in-depth and eye-opening investigation into life in the West Bank
The First 54 Years (2021) - Director Avi Mograbi hosts the viewers in his living room and provides insights to how a colonialist occupation works
Tears of Gaza (2010) - a record presented with minimal gloss of the 2008 to 2009 bombing of Gaza by the Israeli military.
Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land (2003) - provides a striking comparison of US and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in US coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of America political elites - oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others - work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.

Very worried for the amount of younger people (minors/young adults) and honestly even older adults who have completely forgotten what privacy is and what is appropriate to say online.

Kind of a super abstract question for artists that follow me, but: when you're planning an illustration or a pose, what happens inside your head? Do you try and visualize what the finished image will look like? Do you have a set of disparate bits and pieces you try and smash together on paper? Do you always go in with a super clear idea of what you want, or do you just start putting down lines and figure it out along the way?

hmmm something about certain magics being weak/strong against other certain magics... i'm thinking about it bc of asks concerning cyrillo and kaiya. vampires do have above average healing and resilience in comparison to mortals -- they're hard to kill bc they're undead and essentially feeding off inherent magic in mortal blood to remain animated. but bc they're undead and necrotic in nature, that means holy magic would be strong against them and inhibit their healing. blessed weaponry would tear them a new one.
and that's leading me down a hole of " oh well, i gotta explore other resistances and weaknesses between magic users and magical beings/creatures as well then " but that's not my plan for tonight asdfg
