I talk about media I've been looking at!!!! It's a lot of text so under the read more it goes!!!

I encourage folks to talk to me about things....

Movies

I'm actually about to watch Mario movie in a bit so I might talk about that if I got any thoughts!

Otherwise, my movie watches have been pretty dry this year. Recently, I binged all of the Indiana Jones movies with friends and that was a surprisingly fun rewatch. Very gorgeous and hilarious films, which makes me all the more annoyed by the upcoming sequel.

I also rewatched Teacher's Pet with my partner and it made me realize how big of a fan I am of aimless, stupid movies.

First Time Watches Thus Far: Wizards, Up on Poppy Hill, Repo Man, Napoleon Dynamite, Re/Member and In the Mood for Love.

Shows

Moon Girl has been amazing and I could see becoming a favorite in the future! I'm very endeared by that show's characters and storylines. Fucking incredible visuals, every artist did an outstanding job. (And I got SOOOO many friends into it thanks to Beyonder hehe)

Finished both season one rewatches of School Rumble and Star Vs. Aaand I'm currently almost finished with Kaiji Season 2.

I also did a rewatch of the Princess Jellyfish anime! Wow the way this wraps up is a lot more unsatisfying than I remember. Still was fun but it all just kinda ends..? Not how I remembered it...

Been loosely watching Molly Mcgee and that show is super cute!

Aaand I'm trying to figure out if I wanna start watching Spectacular Spider-Man, Teen Titans, or Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Comics/Manga

Finished Princess Jellyfish after so long and that manga made me tear up so much... This maybe has one of, if not, my favorite relationship. And it's message really struck a chord in me.

I'm currently keeping up with Chainsaw Man, Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins, and IDW Sonic.

Undead Unluck I'm still reading but it's kinda been letting me down in this recent arc...

And yes...I'm slowly making my way to finishing Archie Sonic.

Games

Not much here but holy shit!!!! Sonic Team did a visual novel for April's Fools and it wasn't a joke VN????? It's actually good and fun and has a lot of care put into it also the art is fucking great???

Speaking of VNs, took a look at Tokimeki Memorial and Pia Carrot for research. Was frustrating and neat at the same time lmao

Finally, watched a friend playthrough Sly Cooper 1 and 2 and I REALLY wanna play those on my own at some point. Those games are gorgeous, I adore the characters and environment designs. I'm a big sucker for set pieces and Sly has so many...

where's that masterpost of quotes that have no right going as hard as they do. I'd like to submit "Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane"

I'm writing this post to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @salahmanarfamily / @salahahmed90, a father of two in Gaza.

Salah has been working hard to promote his family's campaign every day for almost a month now, and yet, despite all the effort he's put in, they've only received a little over 70 donations.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating!

This is a campaign that is very low on funds.

-> GFM Link

The campaign has been verified by @/90-ghost.

€1,572 / €70,000

[watcher0033]

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

[jakeperalta]

letting celebrities think they can and should "use their platform" to speak on all current events and political issues regardless of how educated they are on them was a grave mistake

[me-beef]

@strangeravatar made a great point

i was gonna focus on the spike-hotboxing-celestia aspect but i got distracted somewhere along the way and i think i forgot what joke i was trying to make

but dont you think its interesting how many guards of the exact same color/body type she's managed to accrue?? i do

Do you have a comfort movie? If so, what is it?

I don't have a definitive favorite but I really enjoy...

Tokyo Godfathers. Satoshi Kon is a god director/artist and this movie is just really cozy and uplifting for me. Kon's stuff will always have the most fantastic character acting and designs. Writing is phenomenal and has one of the best trans rep I've seen (watch the Gkids translation cuz old vers are transphobic for no reason). This is also my mandatory Christmas movie.

And then Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This one just pushed me into pursing animation and art. Very fun and stunning, I love analyzing this movie.

[sepulchretide]

my favorite thing to learn about regular show is one of the showrunners stating "Yeah, CN let us kill anyone we wanted on-screen, just as long as they exploded."

Sorry I'm not low empathy autistic in the "mysterious loner boy who secretly cares about his friends and talks in a monotone voice" way and I'm actually just completely indifferent to the suffering of people I don't know personally and help strangers out of a sense of "this is the right thing to do" and not "I feel so bad for this person" or guilt.

I sit and listen to my friends even though I don't really care about hearing about their problems because I know they'll be upset if I don't, and despite the fact I honestly can't genuinely care about the issue itself, I care about the impact it's having on my friends and that's enough to make me want to help them through it.

Did you know that's actually an expression of empathy all of its own?

It will absolutely happen again I literally am not even sorry

taps my mic. osamu who's just opened onigiri miya, who's so, so proud of himself but scared shitless all the same when teammates and family call to check in on him, whose smile wobbles not from anxiety but excitement when a customer shyly walks in.

and you, who he quickly learns the name of because you visit on the first day, and keep coming the days after—the first regular he hopes, and you promise, of plenty more.

he asks you for your opinions on the menu so far, the stools he's still not sure about, the volume of the television playing above, if the takeout box, filled with experimental flavours, he gave you for free a couple days ago had any winners. you answer happily, and even if it's a shrug or hand gesture meaning "so-so," osamu appreciates it all, deadset on turning your so-so's to something unquestionably good.

you're his secret to keep for a while, a good luck charm (for the whole staff, he specifies when you tease him about it) when you walk in. so when atsumu and his team visit for the first time since the grand opening, and one of the employees happily exclaims your name as the doorbell chimes, he shoots his twin a look. "wow, big shot, y'got regulars already?"

but atsumu's teasing lasts only a moment before his expression morphs into one of confusion, and then another—one a twin sends his twin when he realizes he's been kept in the dark about something, someone, that brings a sickeningly happy smile to the other's face. osamu isn't even looking at him when he answers—"yeah, one."
