I don’t have very many followers on here at all, which is part of why I mistakenly remained almost completely silent wrt Palestine on social media until this week, but at the very least this list can function as a repository for GFM links that I can donate to when possible. UPDATE (January 11): I now plan to set aside every Sunday on Tumblr for sharing these posts (and asks) and nothing else. I find that schedules like this, with restrictions and a sense of public accountability built in, help me maintain intentionality, consistency, etc.

Dawn of the Monsters (2022)

Ah yes, one of those flavor of the month, indie beat 'em ups. This one has a theme that I happen to enjoy a bunch, I'm sure it could be fun.

I know the phrase gets thrown around a lot, but this is a love letter to kaiju and tokusatsu media. The story and world building hit every note and they hit it right. I absolutely adored learning about the setting bit by bit, and I fell in love with the cast of characters. It's wonderfully done. You love to see the environmentalist message, very adequate for the genre, and the effort put into making the conflict feel global, with most of the key characters originating from a completely different part of the world, each adding different human perspectives.

As for the playable characters, they give off this impression of "knockoff Godzilla or Ultraman", but the fact that they're not tethered to those franchises lets them put their original spin into the formula, while also paying homage to the icons. Each of them has a ton of alternate color palettes with even more fun references to other media. In combat, they're all very distinct, which is a treat, since it brings a lot of variety between the few of them.

That combat though. It's not my favorite beat 'em up whatsoever, but it's still relatively unique. RPG vibes, with emphasis on equipped passive skills, stat boosts and status effects. Each character has at least one non-damaging ability, or at least some sort of effect that incentivizes thinking about how you use said abilities, giving you buffs and the like. I particularly enjoyed mixing and matching the equipments to come up with strong combinations or new strategies.

Overall, this is a bit of a highlight for the end of the year. I never imagined a game like this to capture me so much, and especially not when I considered the moment to moment gameplay to be good, but not top tier. If what I already said sounds enticing, then I enthusiastically suggest you play it.

Mediaposting 2024, #7: I Think Our Son Is Gay

Completed: May 7th, 2024

i mean. it's what the title says LOL. very much slice of life, i think this would be actually helpful for a parent who is supportive but maybe a little ignorant about how to best support their gay child. however as a child who has been gay (and trans) for like 12 years it did very nothing for me & was a little bit dull. its still cute though, and its not like its a huge time commitment at...5? 6? volumes. tl;dr it's fine but i don't think i would go out of my way to read it

big win for the official canonization of the ace character though that was a nice surprise even though it was hinted at for a while

i’ve seen people criticizing guillermo del toro along the lines of like, sound and fury blah blah— filmmaker who doesn’t have much to say but has convinced the audience that he does— and so on. i don’t know if i think that’s untrue (like, do i leave a gdt movie chewing on an idea the way i leave a movie by someone who i think is really worth thinking with? probably not.) but i DO think that is a uniquely funny critique to lodge about a guy who i think has never really claimed to be message first. like i’m not mister brittanica of encyclopedia fame so perhaps i have missed it but i always think of gdt as a guy who is consummately about what goes into a movie (like, the stuff. cf his recent well publicized emphasis on its material— the horror anthology practical effects stuff, the stop motion pinocchio; as well as, like, just all of his big projects. he’s a sfx guy isn’t he?) rather than what comes out of it (“messaging” or what have you). like not to say that eg the antifascism of pinocchio was incidental or anything, but what a bizarre standard. guillermo del toro hack, he didn’t kick down my door and stomp into my living room and hold an honest to god maoist struggle session?? get his shallow ass!

[valfeathers]

please please talk about all the shows that live in your head, i can't always interact bc it's exam season but when i see you've posted it makes my day 🥺

also, you must know of them, but the brba autotune remix and the edit with the cooking show ??? i never watched brba but the fandom makes some masterpieces haha

take good care V and enjoy the unhinged little meth men ^^

first of all good luck with those exams olorea!! you’re gonna smash it <3

secondly,,, where to start,,,

i (re) started the show a few weeks ago!! tried before, struck out,, but a few weeks back i was doing a class assignment practicing portraits and we had a selection of photos to choose from and i picked walter white!! that got me thinking ‘i should really finish that show he’s from huh’ and here we are

other than the meth men,, my beloved friend put me onto nbc hannibal & i’m currently on the second to last episode of ‘this is going to hurt’!! bbc medical drama, it’s supposed to be heart shattering, i can’t wait

i’m going to rewatch ‘our flag means death’ for the thousandth time when i get a spare minute because that show is SO special to me

because i’m obsessed with the games,, i binged the ‘the last of us’ hbo show,, i watched the entirety of the owl house and cried,

and i am patiently waiting for season 2 of arcane

don’t really have much beef with a lot of this sentiment but it feels worth noting that while “little guy wins the day” or “justified downfall of rich asshole who Had It Coming” are both long-attested story types, they’ve long: a) come from different artistic settings and contexts (there is for example a decent amount of court poetry which boils down to ‘my stingy lord can/should get fucked’, and which largely has the same non-functionality as the current spate of eat the rich movies: nothing will happen to the lord, but we’ve all had a little chuckle at someone’s expense); b) been less legibly to current audiences part of a clear trend of Eat The Rich (which follows most clearly in the footsteps of the more artistically successful parasite).

i also see the point in being like “why are you surprised that Big Money Movie Industry isn’t meaningfully on your side” but it seems to me that this particular argument from narrative history misses the above point: the long history of this particular kind of narrative of catharsis has not frequently involved the storytellers being so easily identified with the Rich Guy Who Has It Coming. given as well the higher amount of visibility of these directors and the clear desire to make movies that are Saying Something, there’s also a clearer distance between how the movie is framed and what it is. like you can see rian johnson, for example, saying that whodunits are an inherently conservative genre, which is shaped like a critique, and then be like hey dude so how come that doesn’t pan out when we are ostensibly in the same boat re:conservatism. (we aren’t, is the answer, but you know.)

but i think there’s also something to be said for the way the current trend of eat the rich movies started and where they’re going. people did argue about whether bong joon-ho had a leg to stand on re: parasite and telling stories about class struggle, but it seems genuinely bad faith to view parasite as cynical. on the other hand, movies like glass onion and the menu (due in part, i assume, to the relative ease of their western audience promotions as compared to those for bong’s parasite) are more clearly presented as having an angle and have very clear corners of culture they’re speaking to and about. i think parasite will age better because it’s not as palpably about its exact cultural moment as the menu (bad labor practices at noma getting big press; high saturation of alinea and other equally precious restaurants in high-budget tv shows; and the i think currently quite heightened desire to prove one’s anti-elite bona fides) or glass onion (which you can imagine people in 50 years needing no-fear shakespeare levels of glossing and apparatusing in order to parse).

a lot of the backlash to these movies strikes me as a result of them simply not working as this genre does: if a work is fun, or charming, or successful, it is much easier to simply enjoy it and move on. this is as op says how so many narratives have worked! but it seems to me that finding these movies cynical or politically toothless or hypocritical is what happens when the catharsis they usually provide is no longer possible. i think that because glass onion is a worse movie than knives out, the latter inspired less animus than the former; but you might also say we’ve reached a point where this kind of narrative does not hit the way it used to, even as we continue (and arguably more so) to insist that art is politically both solvent and incisive, and as these movies, more than a lot of their historical predecessors, insist they are as well.

I keep seeing Takes about how recent media like Glass Onion and The Menu aren’t taking “eat the rich” seriously enough to launch real change or revolution and like?? yeah??? popular crowd-pleasing entertainment where horrible rich people Suffer A Comeuppance for the pleasure of an audience is one of the oldest tropes in all of human history???? It is a crowd pleaser! It is the bread (ha) and butter of the Western canon! It is in Chaucer it is in Dante it is in Shakespeare it is the stuff of Dickens and 95% of Agatha Christie and almost every teen movie ever made??????? “look at these horrible rich idiots and hypocrites…and now enjoy their DESTRUCTION” transcends time and space and historical moments! It is so strange to be surprised that Hollywood returns to this well without any intention of seeking anything more transgressive than an audience having a hearty chuckle lmao
