something something at least we got ORV in the way dokja did. sleepless nights scrolling through a shitty e-book reading app. carrying power banks and reading on public transport.

this is such a solid show so far, i dont even know what to say. episodes feel long, but they're not boring. they're lingering, they last. it takes everyday emotions and everyday experiences and lets them play out; it confers importance to the small things. the story and overall plot-per-ep is simple yet genuine, and everything and every character feels so lived-in. i like the mix of fun and serious, i like the steady growth and trust between mork and day and the little buds of tension starting to bloom. i love the way the camera brings things to the forefront of the viewer's attention, the way expressions are shot and how long those shots are allowed to last on screen...you really feel the emotion coming through, and it really impresses me from both an acting and directing standpoint.....im just rambling but the jist of it is that i'm really enjoying this

Link Click Season 2 "You viewers had your fun with the more high-stakes mystery plot and incredible actions sequences in the first two episodes so lets bring it back down to the way everyday life and individual tragedies are just as significant to the plot and universe and wreck you emotion and soul with a snapshot of how a single couple's life contains both beauty and tragedy and significance to their close ones and new friends" Episode 3

the thing about andor season 1 being a moses arc is that cassian andor literally is moses. once you mention that moses’s rise to leader serves as scaffolding to almost every major character moment for cassian well you just can’t unsee it

sometime i sit there and think, will anyone ever love this body of mine? will anyone touch this body of mine before it rots away? will anyone ever look at it with love? desire? and see what i do not see in it? will i never be this lucky?

Started crying over the Batman Beyond Animated Movie concept art. I am so normal.

(i’m making basically translation of my previous post that’s fully in Russian) 

today I watched an old Soviet two episode show called Ordinary Miracle, which I haven’t seen since I was a kid. however, while I was watching it, I realize that two of the characters the Wizard and his wife are basically just Howl and Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle.

because the wizard is on one hand trying to live normally, but also turned a bear into a human just for his own amusement? (but also it’s heavily implied he did it because he wanted the bear to feel love and get to be human) and his wife, who is ginger by the way, just like book Sophie, is basically his conscience telling him that it’s inhumane to force the bear to be human if he doesn’t want to be.

oh, and also the movie starts off with the line my wife who I’ve been in love with since I was a boy- which is literally Howl.

but yeah, it’s on YouTube if you’re into subbed surreal soviet musicals from the 70s!

the shikimori anime was a failure because it didnt convey how transgender that girl truly is

[mejomonster]

I haven't seen the new episodes yet. But from what I can gather this show is wish fulfillment and I'm quite excited that from what I've heard so far the plot is going like. The Most ideal way i would have hoped for it to be written

Moral purity OCD ever send u into a spiral so bad at work u nearly miss lunch and don't do ur literal job

Instead u spend literally hours reading critical book reviews and working yourself up because oh god oh no someone said something was problematic about a book/show/etc that you love deeply and now ur brain is convinced ur a terrible bad demon person? For consuming the Problematic Content? Even tho in your saner moments you realize this is stupid and the internet has NO capacity for nuance and SURELY there's a middle ground between "I said this was problematic (without basis) and youre morally impure for enjoying it" and "there's is no such thing as privilege or racism or appropriation" SURELY

I also have to stop letting my flight or fight send me into obsessive spirals it's like. Who tf cares if this internet person with poorly formed opinions thinks [thing you love] is problematic! 1) they're probably not correct, but formed out of bad faith internet discourse 2) even if they are correct, problematic isn't contagious and you aren't morally impure for reading smthn supposedly problematic 3) your OCD is morphing a genuine concern about cultural and racial issues into self flagellation because ur white, the same way it takes minor tenents of Christianity and spins them into ways for you to punish and/or damn yourself. 4) disagreement doesn't need to be conflict or mean your bad and wrong. The internet has no nuance and treast disagreement as moral impurity. You were raised in a dysfunctional family where you still live and were trained to see the slightest disagreement or tone of voice as a danger so that is also making the obsessions and fear worse. It's a brain disease.

But also WHAT IF???

Tldr My specific neuroses feed on and magnify the internets lack of nuance or ability to think critically making me convinced I'm a terrible bad person for believing in my ideals and my heart and duty and Goodness, and this leads to a existential pessimism spiral where everything is meaningless and I have no purpose but ALSO I have to punish myself and go to great lengths to prove I'm not A Bad Person because nothing is worse than being a Bad Person (defined by what metrics? Oh that would be too easy, it changes every OCD episode)

I feel like a great number of wild animal/human related injuries could have been easily prevented if zoboomafoo had maybe covered that a chimpanzee could rip your face off

[vacant2007]

me: why am i so fucking whiny about my childhood clearly it wasnt that bad compared to people who were starving or in war zones or etc. i think im honestly fine

also me: *operates on an insane system of logic leaps to live my life in the most paranoid, closed-off, detached, and out-of-touch way possible because i interpret the most harmless things as sources of potential pain and cannot convince myself of the inherent goodness of other people unless they prove it to me constantly everyday*

"whoever saves one life saves the entire world"

andie's jewish faith is a crucial part of who she is as lovebug. truly, she would not be the hero she is if she didn't have a jewish upbringing that raised her on the ideals of tzedakah, the idea of repairing the world, and mitzvahs.

there is this strong understanding that it's a duty and a responsibility to heal the world through charity and good deeds. andie does want to do these things, but she also believes that she has to and it is her responsibility to do so. she will always be driven to for this reason.

this is the entire meaning behind with great power there must also come — great responsibility. it is not just a choice peter makes (though it is also a choice) but it is a choice he must make. there must come that responsibility.

it is not simply, as the abbreviated quote suggests, that with great power comes great responsibility because that responsibility is not intrinsic. it's an obligation that peter (or andie) must step up to, and it's a choice to step up to it but also one that their upbringing dictates that they must step up to.

Don't look at me but I have both been mentally developing the cast of my Free 10 Pull Isekai but also. Straight up writing a dumbass FFXIV Isekai in my spare time. I'm not posting a word of it until I have at least several chapters written, and EVEN THEN I may not unleash it

Before class a friend opened a bowl of fresh grapes and another peeled a tangerine and we shared grapes and citrus berries between us and I thought this is what life should be like. I love all of you. I love all of you and want us to eat well
