0.1 ━━━━ history is written by the victors.
i've decided to start posting on tumblr, so this is a new beggining! i've had this doc idea for a while, and i'd like for it to be an indicative of what i can do. ❝ history is written by the victors ❞ is a text-heavy, single-muse google doc, that has a variety of links & a few images. it's very obviously centered around finnick odair, and I hope that the doc has managed to capture at least some of his essence.

6 Things I Learned from the Lisa Frankenstein Commentary
We don’t get movies like Lisa Franeknstein often, which is a shame because it’s endlessly charming yet delightfully twisted. While it disappointed at the box office, it has "cult classic" written all over it.
The coming-of-age horror-comedy is out today on Blu-ray and DVD. Among the special features is an audio commentary by Zelda Williams. Here are 6 things I learned…
1. Catch Me If You Can inspired the opening credit sequence.
The opening credit sequence, which briefly depicts the Creature's love story from his previous life in the style of Victorian shadow box art, was inspired by Catch Me If You Can.
"We wanted to do something interesting with the credits in this bit. I was really inspired by Catch Me If You Can, which I thought the opening credits were particularly interesting and helped establish the story before we ever got to it. And because Creature doesn't speak this whole movie, I wanted an opportunity to show what his life would have been like."
2. The film was originally intended to be rated R.
Although Lisa Frankenstein pushes the PG-13 rating as far as it can go, it was originally intended to be a hard R. Williams cites the party scene, in which Lisa originally smoked a laced joint rather than drinking a PCP cocktail, as a difficult revision.
"This is where stuff got a little complicated when we were going from R-rated to PG-13. Originally there was a coated joint they were passing around. This is one of the only scenes that I'm not sure I'm as fond of in comparison to the joint stuff. Most of the rest of the changes were fine, but this one I find very strange. It's just a very different reaction and interaction than what used to be there. However, these are the things that happen when making a movie."
3. Creature is an homage to Day of the Dead's Bub.
Not only Lisa is seen watching George A. Romero's Day of the Dead in the film, but the Creature is an homage to its iconic zombie, Bub.
"Creature for me is definitely an homage to Buster Keaton, but he's also an homage to the zombie you just saw on screen, Bub, who was in Day of the Dead, a Romero movie that I'm very fond of. It was an incredibly emotive and a very intelligent zombie and ended up getting revenge against the asshole in the movie. It was one of my favorite monsters ever made, so when I could put that on screen during the movie, it made me very happy."
4. Zelda hid a tribute to her father, Robin Williams.
Williams is the daughter of Robin Williams, and she included his 1983 comedy album, Throbbing Python of Love, among the records scattered on the floor in Lisa's living room.
"Oh, there's Dad! We used one of Dad's vinyl albums because we had to scatter some across the floor." She refers to it as "a little, mini Easter Egg for me."
5. The police officers are named after John Waters.
The police officers in the film are Officer John (played by Walker Babington) and Officer Waters (Sylvia Grace Crim) — named on a whim in honor of cult filmmaker, John Waters.
"They asked me to name the cops, because obviously they needed to have name tags, so I named them Officer John and Officer Waters." She thought no one would notice since they're so small, but a viewer pointed it out at a test screening.
6. The film is sprinkled with movie references.
Williams wore her influences on her sleeve with her directorial debut, and she pointed out several references on the commentary:
A Trip to the Moon (clip featured in Lisa's surreal dream sequence)
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (stylistic inspiration on the dream sequence)
Weird Science (the party scene)
Suspiria (red lighting during drug sequence)
My Boyfriend's Back (camera shot from inside a grave looking up at characters)
Kill Bill (weapon point-of-view shot)
E.T. (a boy on a bike — played by Diablo Cody's son — at the end)
Notting Hill (reading together on a bench at the end)
Lisa Frankenstein is available now on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital via Universal.

the smallest expressions of love.....the tiniest inklings of affection......on my mind........
nancy does the laces up on your shoes whenever they come undone. she checks on them after you've kicked them off, sits down and relaces them if she's noticed they've come apart. and if you're out together and your knots come undone, she kneels down and does them up for you without any hesitation--even if it dirties her hard-earned nails, because it's worth it.
eddie picks out the best bite on his plate when you eat out, takes a nibble of it to make sure, and holds it out for you to eat off his fork or out of his hand. if he's got some of your favourite foods on the side he always lets you eat some of his, if not all of them. sometimes he just sneaks the best bite on your plate when you're not looking.
robin puts your favourite movies on the "staff picks" rack at family video. she cycles them around when you find new ones but always comes back to your classic favourites--if not so that they're right at the front when you come to rent something, then so more people will pick up the ones you like and understand why they're so good.
steve holds your drinks for you. always. doesn't matter if you're at a bar or a party or at a gathering with friends, he takes your drink and moves to stand by the bathroom as soon as you disappear inside of it. but as soon as he hears the toilet flush, he heads back to the spot you left him like he never moved in the first place.
chrissy talks about you. a lot. she's popular whether she wants to be or not, so she does what she can with it. she mentions you whenever she has the chance, talks up how nice you are, how smart, how funny--she makes you sound like the best person to be around, until your reputation precedes you as it should.
jonathan waters the flowers by your house or work or school with his water bottle whenever he passes by. he picks out the ones he knows you like, or just ones with colours you're fond of, and gives them a little tending so they keep growing. so you have something pretty to look at whenever you're walking by.
argyle finds the craziest, coolest, brightest-coloured shirts to buy whenever he has a little money left over from his paycheck. something that's sure to get your attention--something that, when you see him wearing it, will make you laugh or smile or comment on. something that will hopefully remind you of him whenever you see that same colour or saying or pattern somewhere else, and will make you smile like it did the first time.
billy carries your name around with him. etches your initials into his lighter. tucks your photo or a note signed by you in his wallet. keeps an unsent love letter to you in his glovebox. he does it for strength, to keep himself upright--to lift his mood when he's sad and stay his hand when he's furious. to remind himself that there's something good in this world that's worth fighting for.

These are gorgeous! What a cool idea, definitely go show the artist some love!
Some art pieces I found featuring the Vecna-4. I know it won't happen but imagine how cool it would be if they form some sort of B-Team to fight Vecna from within. I see everyone terrified except Max who's determined, Max and Patrick constantly arguing while Fred and Chrissy just wanna get out, and the group finding a way to resolve their trauma.
All credit goes to @sdelarts, I highly recommend checking her art out. It's really good!
