Can we talk about how avatar the way of water is a portrayal of refugee families. Their desperation, their hope, their guilt in fleeing home and how they fight and struggle to adapt to a completely new place - even though in the movie they still speak the same language, their cultures and costumes are completely different. How even if the war is physically behind them it is a weight in their minds. How despite all this they still wish and try to live fully, as a family, in search of safety and warmth and a home.

And it even cares to show how each family member deals with it in a, in my opinion, very sensitive and honest way.

it’s so weird watching/reading the piece that originated a tropey genre and seeing that it’s all full of these tropes i’m used to, but. it’s different. like they fit into the piece’s specific themes (it has clear themes!) so much better than i’m used to idk. like. the hunger games, watchmen, black christmas (1974), you can feel the change in the water i swear

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME HOW FUCKING BRILLIANT CASTLEVANIA NOCTURNE IS HELLOOOO?????!?

okay i'll stop talking about video games in a minute but Pentiment was great, very well documented, realistic and melancholic while being always so tender to its characters. gameplay wise it's literally just like a book but if you like history or history of art, it's just a great game.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

Batman gives each of his Robins a different code to use when they’re in trouble and need immediate extraction. He promises that when they call, he’ll drop everything just to get to them, come hell or high water.

Jason, during his time with the League, shares his code with Damian, to be used “only in the direst of circumstances, when you have exhausted all other options.” He doesn’t know if Bruce will answer, given how fractured their relationship was before he died, but it is better than nothing. Every tool counts when they live such dangerous lives.

Damian uses it exactly once, and Bruce, who still feels the loss of his son like a yawning chasm in his chest, responds to it even though he knows it can’t be Jason because Jason’s dead. What he finds, instead of Jason, is a boy in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-small feet, with a face that Bruce sees himself and Talia in, requesting asylum from a grandfather who wishes to possess his body. Bruce doesn’t question how this boy who is so clearly his son knew the code. Talia al Ghul is resourceful and places family above all; the code is not beyond her abilities to discover, and she is not above using Bruce’s desperate love for his dead son to ensure that hers does not meet the same fate.

Bruce takes Damian in, because of course he does, and since Jason is dead he allows Damian to keep using the code. After all, it’s not like Jason is alive to use it, right? If someone uses the code, there’s no one it could be but Damian, right?

The next time the code is used, Bruce traces the location to Gotham even though Damian was supposed to be in Bludhaven visiting Dick. But whatever happened that resulted in Damian being in Gotham can wait, because he has already failed one son and he will not fail another, his son is in trouble and he needs to get to him, he needs to—

What he finds, instead of Damian, is a boy (just eighteen, too young, but also too old, but also he will always be a boy to him) in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-large feet (when had he gotten so big), wearing the face of his dead son.

(Who, maybe, just maybe, may no longer be so dead.)

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt
