The Boy And The Heron Is the first movie that instead of saying "the world we're giving you Is fucked up and horrible and it's up to you to fix it" went "i cannot balance this world anymore because im old and my time has come, so im giving you the choice to be my successor as the peacemaker or war instigator and i think you're worthy of... nevermind the fascist bird fucked it completely. go live your best mundane life and be happy to have loved ones" and i think thats beautiful

Did you noticed this amazing detail in The Castle of Cagliostro?😱😱🫣👽

If you pay close enough attention you can see that Goemon appears right at the beginning in the fiat before the title sequence, which makes no sense that he doesn't appear in said sequence, in the chase, when they rescue Clarisse or enter the country of Cagliostro.

All this is due to the fact that Hayao Miyazaki hates his ass.

I love you Ghibli movies I love every single one of your plots and storytelling and animation and characters and each careful stroke for each frame. I love you My Neighbour Totoro and how it tells you that magic exists in life whether or not you are able to see it. I love you Kiki's Delivery Service and how it tells you that the journey to adulthood is not always a smooth flight. I love you Spirited Away and how it tells you that you must stay true to yourself and not to give over to greed. I love you Howl's Moving Castle and how it tells you that self confidence and love will lead you to new places. I love you Castle In The Sky and how it tells you that nature can coexist with technology without human interruption. I love you Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind and how it tells you that nature is not evil, just provoked. I love you Ponyo and how it tells you that it is important for life to keep a balance between humanity and sea. I love you The Boy And The Heron and whatever the fuck is going on there. I love you Ghibli animation of trees swaying and the ocean's waves and blades of grass in sunny scenes and rain pattering down onto the street and the ever-graceful movements of characters no matter what emotions they are feeling it shows that they are all always beautiful.

I'm okay admitting that some of the stuff that people "create" via AI does look very cool and creative and all that shit. It would be dishonest to say that all of it looks terrible and cheap.

But it looks good the same way an art forgery looks good. Like, of course this looks good, you completely ripped off the work of a real artist and now I'm just disappointed that it's not the real thing.

[swallowtail-ageha]

I feel like people don't focus on the sheer horror that millicent's whole existance is for malenia... its about the total loss of agency that already comes from the whole scarlet rot just having added another horror because the thing that has been inhabiting you and destroying your life since you were born has also forced you to have a child as afflicted as you *while you were not even conscious*. Oh the horrors the horrors the horrors

Anytime someone uses that miyazaki qoute out of context owes me or the nearest disabled person like 20 dollars. By the way

I came to Ymir once more with another character just to listen to all the lines possible. Because I skipped some with my tarnished Fiquet :0

Sir...

Death is irreversible. You can't bring back Yuri. RIP mommy Ymir

Ohhh I am trying so hard not to get mad at people online you have to believe me but that post about bloodborne liking women is driving me a little bit crazy not gonna lie. We can all so clearly see and point out misogyny in ds (um. Im hoping at least) so why can't we ever do it in bloodborne? Even though its the same people? What about bloodborne makes you think theyre feminists all of a sudden. Because it talks about women? Okay, but that's not how that works, a work that disregards women is misogynistic, that much everyone knows, but a work that does talk about women but portray them in a weird light can also very much be. Also whenever people say bloodborne is about women or femininity, a huge chunk of the time what they mean is bloodborne is about motherhood and pregnancy. Which is true, but thats... Not what womanhood is thats not what women are about you can't just reduce women as a concept to birth. And motherhood. And being caretakers. Almost every woman in bloodborne has less agency than their men counterparts, most of them are more strongly abused, shown as complacent and weak and only exist to serve. Even maria has no agency and is constantly driven back to the fact she was gman's apprentice and following he and laurence's orders. She has little identity outside of them in written down ingame lore and the one time she did something outside of them, is the one time she became a caretaker (because all women are it seems). The fact the og lady maria npc even exists is even worse on that part. I'm using her as an example because shes the one people most often take as an example of bb being good about women (look theres a strong female character!) but it's obviously much more than just her, just look at arianna and adella for more than one second. The only npcs i can think of that i would consider Actually Good And Normal About Women are eileen and fauxsefka. And i mean actual npcs im not counting bosses that we dont know much about on a personal level (like rom and amelia)

What I'm trying to say is, i think it's awesome when people have feminist interpretations of bloodborne and i think its a good thing to take those female characters for yourself and its a good thing to make the game as transgender and gay as you want it to be, and its perfect soil for that too, i do it all the time and find many many themes in it by myself, but we can't keep lying to ourselves that it was any good at it on its own. It's soulsborne for fuck's sake it has Always been Really Weird about women and minorities just look at ds look at firekeepers and gwyndolin and many other examples. Bloodborne isnt exempt from that just because men are writing about pregnancy as horror.
