#journey with me into my brain

[imperatorrrrr]

girl , can i ask WHY you chose your players for that dream blunt rotation ? 😭

in case anyone is confused, this ask is in reference to this one where I picked a hockey from each division for my dream blunt rotation: Geno, Skinner, Georgie, and Ekky.

Okay here's my reasoning...

Evgeni Malkin - He's just so unserious at all times. Like he's class clown through and through. He's so funny. I think he'd be making me laugh nonstop. Like we'd be two bitches in a corner saying "exaaaaaaaactly" at each other. I bet Geno loves to gossip. And I love to gossip, so lets go.

Jeff Skinner - I respect a person who commits to the bit. And he committed to "Between 2 Stalls" so wholeheartedly and I need to commend that, so thats literally the only reason he's there. Plus, like he, on main, said yeah I listen to High School Musical and watch Emily in Paris. Like, he's just himself! I bet he'd be a great time.

Alexandar Georgiev - That man is a scholar. I bet he gets real deep when he gets high. Also, he deserves a god damn break. He's been carrying the goaltending load for the Avs all season long. And he's coming up big again in the 'yoffs. Plus, he gets so much fucking hate from all these dudebros about his underlying numbers and stats and stuff. Also, I want to reward him for punching TDA in the face. So like. He deserves to chill, so smoke up with me, boy-o!

William Eklund - Just seems like a smiley good natured guy ya know? Like always up for a good time. Need those vibes. Cultivating a good presence around me so I have a good high.

Also, I get super sleepy when I get high, so if I knock out, I know these four can keep themselves entertained in their respective corners.

But also, also, imagine the hilarity of seeing Jeff Skinner and Evgeni Malkin interact with each other while William Eklund eats some popcorn and Alexandar Georgiev is like in a corner just reading a book.

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

Wukong redesign! Super happy with how this turned out!!! Long expended ramble about why I made the design choices I did under the cut

I just really wanted to capture the spiritual change Wukong goes through as a physical one a well- so the furnace ash that stains his fur lightens to a much softer gray (he was blonde to start). His hair is trapped but slowly loosens and pulls out from the circlet as the need for it lessens. The lotus in his staff blooms to signify his completed 'rebirth' as a Buddhist. His robe gets cut down as it takes damage and is repaired with patches (like a Kasaya). He gains a face mask when Guan Yin healed him from Redboy and touched his face (left a palm mark)

And my initial thoughts (not all of this made it in):

[merriclo]

i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. it’s such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.

mom [makima] as the heart of the family, the control that ties everything and everyone together in this sand castle we live, the fulfilled life denji though would find. to burn it for what he though would bring him true happiness, to step on the daughter of his grief, to stick faithful to what mama said is the best for him: undeserving of happiness, he had to destroyed it. who is in blame here? your tears won't bring her back.

Did you know that Nobuhiko Okamoto voices both Genya and Himmel?? Because I did *not*

I thought it was funny so my hand slipped

[twinstxrs]

there’s probably something deeply wrong with me because every time i see someone react to the pok gukgak interrogation scene it’s like “oh no oh my god is riz’s dad a bad guy?” when the first time i saw that scene my only thought was “oh my god is riz’s dad HOT??”

Old King, you have always been made of sun smiles and teeth.

——————————————————————

(Sorry to hear you laugh like ocean rage and sing like thunderstorms. Sorry to smell the ash on your fur and dried dropped cherries roasted beneath your eyes. Sorry to hope to have your cherry cheeks between these cruel, pitiful hands that snaps away like your dimples were bonfires and sorry to dream by the zenith of the sun. Sorry to have felt the dreadful, murderous point when you let your grins outshine the stars (were we alive like them, once?), to find the outlines of world maps across your palms and the inklings of constellations on your skin beneath steel furs.)

(Sorry, old thing, to have expected you to change at all.)

(There's a lot I could say to you, a confession drowned in aches and prayers, and I hope you Good Mornings and cozy dreams beside the hearth.)

laying in bed thinking about how Wukong is a people pleaser and this part of him gets frequently overlooked due to the focus on his hot-headedness/impulsivity
