#Man this was such a good movie

[tirednapentity]

What fucking gets me about the chimp subplot in nope is that unlike jean jacket, unlike flying saucers or aliens, it’s real. Let me elaborate. I wasn’t scared of jean jacket. I looked at her with wonder. I was awed at her, enraptured by how clever and how cool her concept and design was. I made jokes about her spitting out the blood over the haywood house. The digestion made me wince, but it didn’t scare me. 

Gordy, on the other hand. I couldn’t stand it. I couldn’t look at the screen while it happened. I had to leave the room. I am writing this post right now trying to get that all out because if i don’t I’ll end up having nightmares tonight. Jean jacket isn’t scary to me because she’s not real. Tragedies like the one Jupe experiences are. They have happened before and we continue to repeat them. The system that allowed it to happen is still in place. We see that at the end of the movie, too, the reporters closing in at the entrance. People killed because someone tried to exploit a wild animal and it backfired, ready to be turned into a spectacle. The snl sketch.  This is something devoid of the influence of any alien creature. The chimp attack happened because of humans. It is devoid of any fantastical element. It is a stark reminder that the issues the movie comments on are real. Am i making sense.

Wolfie and Four friendship appreciation doodles! They're shared secrets besties! I hope Four's distrust of the shadow crystal doesn't drive anything between them. Wild found his way into this compilation with a force. It seems I can't draw Wolfie and not include him too!

I don't care how excited it might make some people, I don't like this remake

Did anyone have "Dev Patel makes working class trans rights John Wick, with a spiritual angle and a message saying fuck Modhi" on their bingo card? (I also appreciate that the movie didn't do the usual: "Break the cycle of violence" but instead went: "Nah mate, channel that shit and put it into being FUCKING BASED! Kill that fucking guy! Fuck him!")

The FNAF movie ending in a nutshell,,

[sforzesco]

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

Haven’t seen the new Wicked movie yet, but I am forever impressed by the fact that someone saw the “Wizard of Oz” and was like:

“Hm. Yes. I see. Okay. The wicked witch and that scarecrow? They’re in love for sure.”

“The witch who sets him on fire?”

“It’s a complicated situation.”
