Reels from a Neon Midnight

The words that your Lola used to recreate a portrait of you in my mind is not how I picture you now. She often stutters when the thought slips by her. She used to say that getting knocked down isn’t the issue, life hands us a handful of fist, no it wasn’t that—it was your refusal to get back up that killed you. Unlike you, she stood there, she spoke as if she were a curator and her body a museum…

You’re clearly just trying to bait us into asking for your pronouns so you can kick us

*Hides my kickhungry hooves in the dirt so you cannot see them* I would never do such a thing.

characters who begin again in completely new worlds… or characters with memory loss being given another shot at life… and then using that desperately trying to make amends for the person they are told they used to be,, or who reinvent themselves into a new person to the betterment or detriment of themselves.. but the shadow of the old self always lingers >>>>>>>

Things that I know.

1. Yaoi is the opposite of yuri

2. According to tumblr, yuri seems to be just about anything, but I have most commonly seen it take the form of two inanimate objects in close proximity to one another. Eg minecraft furnace and crafting table, trains crashing into each other, etc.

Therefore, we can conclude that Yaoi is two inanimate objects that are very far apart from each other. The sun and the earth are yaoi.

season three of infinity train goes so hard it’s a crime that you can’t watch it on max anymore. watching grace and simon go through the exact opposite storylines, becoming foils of each other in response to one another. grace losing her apex mark upon realizing that she was wrong as simon’s only got brighter. watching grace’s number go down to her hand as simon’s covers his entire body. all of these children being indoctrinated into a false religion causing them to go on a rampage while thinking they’re doing the right thing when in reality they stray further and further from the true right thing every day. grace leading them thinking she’s also doing the right thing when in reality, she’s doomed them. simon deeming tuba’s inhuman nature a valid reason to kill her, despite the fact that she was a fully sentient being who his friends loved and cared for. hazel losing the only mother she’d ever had. hazel being a denizen and not knowing it even when she was acting as one. simon not realizing hazel was supposedly one of the soulless monsters he hated so much because she didn’t look like them. hazel truly being not only so human, but such a child, begging for tuba to come back and promising to be really good. god there’s so much more i could go on about but it’s just the entire season. it’s so incredible. streaming services really just get rid of their best shows and don’t look back, huh.

Something about Steven Universe being asked why he wasn’t Pink Diamond when he should be and him screaming “SHES GONE” in the most bone chilling way that shook the world and broke the ground beneath him

Something about Lake breaking the train’s engine room in frustration after being denied over and over again, screaming and crying right at you saying that they’re not Tulip, not a sliver, not a null, or anything else that other people have labeled them, they are a PERSON

More of that please

Oh no I missed coffee night!!!!

I wanted to ask you about Hitchcock 😔 If you're willing to answer, which movies of his do you think are overrated and which do you think are actually good? He's my most watched director (because film school) but I only genuinely like a few of his films and always disagreed with my classmates about which ones were the best

I feel like I'm holding up a Daffy Duck style sign that says "shoot me" because Hitchcock is so well thought of by cinephiles versus me, the basic horny mod who watches movies with hot people in them. With that said, I remember Rope, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and To Catch a Thief all left me a bit flat, because I felt like he was prioritizing pushing technical limits or creating extravagant images over deeper characters and relationships. I love a good technical limit-pushing, but it needs to serve the story! And sometimes I feel like he has an idea he wants to try or an image he wants to show and puts so much focus on developing it that characters' reality and interest kind of falls by the wayside—they become pawns navigating his situations, instead of interesting characters in their own right.

To be fair, this is more a characteristic of his later work than his early work—The Lady Vanishes is one of my favorite movies, and I remember Notorious and Spellbound both being enjoyable when I watched them a few years ago. Again, basic film watcher here. Don't show this post to the Criterion collection.

If if the fëa reflects the hröa at the moment of death...

When/if he faded, Maglor had pure white hair due to the eons of grief. Celegorm finds Maglor in the Halls, seeing his older brother with his same shining white hair and finally understands the burden of both their guilt and the gravity of their sins.

It felt as if a train struck his fëa.
