there is a genuine part of me that struggles to accept and cope with farquaads death
#i guess i cant deny it but i hate to acknowledge it really#i always have#i rember as a kid watching scared shrekless and seeing what happened to duloc was genuinely terrifying for me#well idk how that special stands on canon#i also feel upset about how at tbe end of shrek4d movie his ghost is destroyed#suggesting he died in a spectral sense#and it makes me mad becaude its like#why this again why again why csnt they just let him be stop killing him#i do love ghost farquaad as much as his living self but its still kind of painful#i have no aversion to ghosts and ghostloving. but i really would rather he be alive and safe thanks#i think this also might be where a lot of my protectiveness of him stems from also lol#moreso a thing that ppl close to me know what i mean#but i get protective and upset when someone tries to talk mean about him to me#^ refers to ppl who just say things to me like about how they think hes ugly or they want to hurt or kill him or are glad hes dead#ik i shouldnt let it get to me because its intent is to upset me and im playing into their wants by getting upset#but its hard to help it#thats my beloved my darling my foreverboy#yoi woildnt talk like that about someone whos irl husband died . ik they arent a direct equivalent but .#sigh. the explanation is im fictoromantic it's fundamentally different#so if you dont get it you likely never will

since I hate myself I decided to redownload mercari and look at the state of the secondhand doll market and bestie. WHAT the fuck is this price
like I really don’t think it was THAT limited to justify $1.6k bc my sister has one and most are going for $50-70 and not much more. be fr rn
#secondhand bratz are also a cesspool of scalping#the barbie movie was the WORST possible thing to happen to the secondhand doll market#like ppl want $500 FOR DOLLS FROM LIKE 2005?? THAT ARENT EVEN THAT RARE??#just bc they’re ‘old’ doesn’t mean they’re worth jack shit#honestly I have some dolls that I’m just gonna give to my sister’s bf’s niece#who’s 4 or 5 years old#I’ll never sell on the market bc no#matter how cheap u make it ppl are gonna harass u to give it to them for free#or like $1#my doll collector girlies know the pain#honestly I’m terrified of checking the prices for the bob mackie Barbie’s

A "Terminal Note" by the author of Maurice, E.M Forster, written in 1960 decades after the original manuscript was completed (1914) but a decade before the book would finally be published posthumously in 1971. The movie is an almost perfect adaptation of the book. If you like gay period pieces with happy endings and a side of class commentary, it's a must watch.

#i got so obsessed with maurice that i got my college to send me an inter library loan from another school of a rare out of print edition#that compiled all the textual differences of each manuscript#maurice#all the sentiment em forster conveys still hits in 2024 if you are gay. but even if you arent gay#its wish fulfillment its a rejection of society its the pain of growing up wrong in peoples eyes and not knowing who you can trust#its the homoerotic best friendship that falls apart brutally#its needing a friend to last your whole life and you theirs#the 1987 date the movie came out is also like. insane to me#what other media was celebrating the potential happy ending being gay could bring during the aids crisis?#and just a year later margaret thatcher's section 28 to pass preventing 'local authorities' from endorsing or promoting homosexuality#that wouldnt have affected the release of this movie since it was independently funded; but the cultural climate was extremely harsh#honestly only saying the movie is almost perfect bc its subjective but it basically is perfectly the novel beat by beat#the stuff that they didnt keep from the book got in as deleted scenes#screenshot from archive.orgs copy of the book which has its own annotations haha#if you dont watch the movie read the book!!!!!!!!#anyway its criminal how overlooked this movie is compared to other gay films#how do people NOT know about it.....*explodes*#the soundtrack is also beautiful and i listen to it a lot to get work done#i cant help but yap about my fav things....#my apologies for the reductive sentence at the end of my post but its just there to catch peoples attention!!!!#i know its *more* than a gay movie with a happy ending but ppl dont even know the bare minimum about it..

im really sorry if this is a stupid thing to ask but im 16 and ive been trying to figure out what kinds of things i like, yknow for reference, and uh ik that people say that all kinks are ok but then they also turn around and say that some arent. and i keep getting turned on by rape scenes in shows and things and then i feel really fucking shitty about it and im not sure how i should. idk deal with that, if theres anything to deal with. basically the whole things confusing as fuck and i dont know what to do and you usually have answers
hi anon,
okay, here's the thing: what you're getting turned on by is people playing pretend. no one is in any danger, no one is actually being raped, depending on when the tv show or movie in question was made there's a very good chance there was an intimacy coordinator on standby to make sure everything was done respectfully and all of the actors felt safe and comfortable.
being turned on by a depiction of something bad happening carries no ethical weight, because being horny and enjoying fiction are morally neutral things. people who like Godzilla probably aren't into it because they actually want to see real people and cities be destroyed by a big lizard, you know? it's fun because it's pretend. it's made up.
would personal examples help? I love reading romance novels. I don't want romance to happen to me, that shit gives me hives. but I love to read about people catching feelings and figuring it out. and, hey, you've seen my URL. I love Batman. that doesn't mean I think actual billionaires should zoom around in tanks doing vigilante justice with children, that's fucking crazy. and you want a sex example? I think it's great when men are beaten, bruised, bloodied, and quivering miserably on the edge of death's door. that's so hot to me, I eat that shit up. does that mean I would want to see that happen in real life? jesus christ, no. if I find an actual man in extreme physical distress on the ground I'm not going to start bating my meat, I'm going to call a fucking ambulance and try to help him as best I can. because the way my brain responds to real people is completely different than the way my brain responds to made up people who aren't actually in any pain or danger.
there's nothing to deal with here, because you haven't done anything wrong.

see if anything i would not have killed joel in the first place like yeah its cause im a fan of kyle but also because with a horror franchise i feel like we arent creating any like legacy characters anymore (could be a personal bias but) so you could still have brought him back for the second but just have him live he got shot hes scared he beat it and drives off leaving the movie instead of getting devil rejected
That way you can bring him back in the third hell kill him in that one but show him growing as a character he beat this demon (that was suppose to be a stand in for mental illness) and he could hide away let the world fall into chaos now that thousands have been exposed to this demon but he owes it to rose and himself to show others they can win they arent alone they can overcome whatever darkness and terror this demon is showing them. Which course makes the demon more aggressive killing faster determined to win to prove you cant beat the cycle.
Ya know he survived his trama his pain his lost you can too and if he has to burden it all to save thousands he will hes no hero hes just a detective who lost the love of his life and doesnt want anyone else to suffer the same. And even if he dies and the demon gets to carry on its not hopeless theres others now who lived who can try and help others be the light in the dark
#idk i just wanted way more for joel make him the Heather Thompson of the series#smile 2024#joel smile#kyle gallner#smile 2#smile 2022#ant posts stuff#sorry its always movies that dont let kyles character develop enough that i get obsessed with fixing

Enhypen - when you're on your period
A/N: Helloooo! This wasn't a request but I feel like writing this reaction since I'm currently on my period >:( Ughhh pls send help
Pairing : Bf!Enha X Fem!Reader
Warnings : Blood (obvi), food, crack, mentions of sex in jake's
Word count : 1,361 words (about 150 words each)
Masterlist - Tips
♡ Lee Heeseung ♡
His heart would break seeing you like this
he would immediately notice you got your period, but wouldn't say anything to save you some 'embarrassment'.
He'd act nonchalant and chill, wanting to just chill whilst you were both at home and procrastinating.
"What ya wanna do?" he asks, once you come out of the bathroom for the millionth time. (It felt like that for him)
He'd let you pick whatever you wanna do and gives in, even if you wanted to test your makeup on him or paint his nails 😭
He ain't saying no
You end up watching a movie when the cramps became a little too much, laying on the couch with him behind you, hands wrapped around your waist, but ready to let go of you whenever you need to use the bathroom (again)
Hearing you whimper in pain would pain him as well, gently bringing his hand over to your tummy to rub in circles.
It doesn't really do anything tbh, maybe distract you, but you appreciate him trying 🥺
Later, he'd definitely make you some ramen, insisting that it was the only food that would cure your cramps and upset mood.
Will definitely sing you to sleep, that's why his head voice is so good.
♡ Park Jay ♡
Everyone says this but : MOM MODE ONNNN 🤗😌
Literally won't stop making sure you're good
and he's prob the most chill about it, like its not a big deal at all
he's just very mature
"You sure you have everything?"
"Don't be shy y/n, it's okay"
"I don't mind buying them for you"
And he does, bc cool boyfriends arent embarrassed to buy tampons 😎
Oh wait
"Pads or tampons?" "Ah ok" "What size exactly??" "Got it"
Hurries up bc he doesn't wanna leave you alone for too long.
Asks you what you wanna eat and will literally cook you anything
pasta with ice cream sauce? Ok
Pineapple on pizza? Ok
cook you his pet fish? Also ok
Makes you tea before bed, because he insists its good to prevent cramps
Might cuddle up in bed and lets you rest your head on his chest as he reads you a book of your choice.
Jay reading to you in that American accent 😩
♡ Sim Jake ♡
Boi does his research
he knows it has to do with periods and hormones when you start acting up
Is lowkey scared so he relies on google to provide him with answers.
"Ughhh, Jake, my cramps are getting worse" you whine, still laying in bed, scrunching up your face
He smiles brightly as he remembers of his searches
"I've heard that having sex could reduce period cramps" he announces proudly, looking at you like 😏
"You're seriously tryna get your dick wet rn??" you get mad and start throwing pillows at him.
"N-Nah but for real!!" He protests, ducking your hits "Seriously, I've read it online" he says in his defence, trying to catch his breath from that near pillow fight
"Damn, since when did you get so good at pillow fighting?" he tries to compliment but it only makes you wanna punch his bicep playfully.
You whine out in pain again, gripping onto his sitting figure at the edge of the bed. "What I am supposed to do?" he questions, haven already given you one alternative.
"Oh, how about we listen to my boy Justin?" he asks, already whipping out his phone
"Noooo, Enhypen is so much better dude" you reply, glaring at him
he agrees and puts on 'pass the mic'
He pushed your shoulders playfully "You got -pushed -pushed" he sings along
"JAKEEE"
Anyway, ends up buying you mc donalds and ice cream to make it up to you
he rly tries but he's a little clueless tbh.
♡ Park Sunghoon ♡
Bro lowkey ghosts you and avoids you
he knows that you're in a bad mood, and he doesn't wanna make it worse with uncontrollable teasing 😭
when you notice his distant behaviour, it only makes you even more upset
"HOON" you yell at him from the other room
he knows he fcked up and feel like he's boutta get his ass whooped.
He makes it hesitantly to your room, regretting it immediately when he sees your pout.
"H-hi y/n, he stutters, thinking of whatever he's gonna say, not wanting to upset your hormones.
"Hoon, why are you avoiding me?" the first tear rolls down your cheek "I'm literally bleeding and you're leaving me alone!" you burst out crying.
He stand there, biting his bottom lip, contemplating what to do
"C-can I hug you?" he asks, moving closer to you. He wraps his arms around you when you nod, pulling you in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry y/n, I thought you wanted to be left alone" he reasons, making sure you know he's sorry
"Its fine" you so sob into his shirt "Now can we watch your ice skating videos and cuddle?" you smile up at him suddenly, flattering your previously wet eyelashes to convince him.
He sighs, knowing you'll just burst out crying again if he doesn't agree
You reach for the remote, pulling on one of his ice skating videos.
He's already on your bed, hands behind his head, almost drifting off
"You look like a grandpa" you laugh, climbing onto your bed and getting closer to him, when the video starts playing.
"He wants to 'compliment' you back, but he fears he'll upset your hormones so he just doesn't say anything for your sake.
♡ Kim Sunoo ♡
A literal sweetheart
Almost like your bestie tbh
He cares about you so much and clearly shows it when your in these situations.
He doesn't hesitate to literally do everything for you
Take off your make up and does your skin care routine for you
Might even wash you if you're too tired to shower lmao
He pouts at you whenever you get cramps, wishing to take them away from you, just to see you smile again.
"My poor baby" he would say, hugging you close to him, gently, not to hurt you or anything.
He'd also be the best at tittie rubs
Like if your breasts were sore, he wouldn't mind massaging them, his soft hands easing some of the pressure on your chest.
You might even fall asleep like that, his hands on your chest under your top, acting like your bra as he sleeps behind you.
♡ Yang Jungwon ♡
Very mature #2
Cares a lot about you and worries
Studies and researches about it so you won't have bad periods :(
Worries when you wear tampons
"Doesn't that hurt?"
"Is it safe though?"
"Y/n, I don't think you should sleep t-tampons because you know, it m-might get stuck in there or something"
He just wants to make sure you're okay
"Ok gynaecologist 😀"
He doesn't really mind if you bleed on his sheets, as long as you aren't wearing tampons to bed
"It's fine sweetie, I'll clean it up"
Doesn't get mad or anything, changes the sheets and makes you change
Definitely cuddles you to sleep and holds your hand if the cramps get too much
♡ Nishimura Riki ♡
Teases the hell out of you
But also tries to help if you get cramps
If he sees you on the couch, he'll crawl in behind you, placing his hands on your hips.
He squeezes your waist
"My little ketchup bottle" he coos
"Nikiii" you try to squirm away embarrassed by his comment.
Definitely rubs your tummy if the cramps get too much
Slightly awkward at first and he feels a little shy doing it
"This okay?" he asks, rubbing circles in your tummy
You don't have the heart to tell him that it doesn't help but at least its a good distraction.
When he leaves for practise, he'll definitely leave you a plushy, big enough that you can hug it close
"Maybe this plushy will help :]" gives you his favourite plushy :(
He'll overall check up on you a lot, and really tried his best to help you out
I need a sweet boy like niki 😭
Hello! Thankyou for reading! Hope y'all are okay and remember that periods only last about a week! You got it!! For anyone who get cramps, I hope they're not as bad or get better :)
Lyyyy <333

OK this will be an extremely long ask i am sorry. i love radford
i havent sent an ask to people in years but i am one of the radford fans of all time and demonic possession is a fun concept to me, so the idea of gadreel possessing him specifically makes me INSANE
i just think itd work extremely well. radford doesnt take anything seriously and doesnt understand boundaries, but he always puts his concern for others first and his well-being last. he annoys father gregor and compares him to priests hes seen in the movies, and he does spray holy water + offer free candy against kevins wishes, but he also warns rick about the trouble he could get himself into when not giving the right movie tickets, and helps kevin with his job with no pay in mind. hes annoying, but his heart is in the right place
but gadreel is the Ultimate Prankster. him trying to imitate radford would backfire Hard, because gadreels idea of fun is,, More Extreme. he allows kids to enter adult films, he steals candy and says its fine since hes friends with kevin, he tells his friends and brother to break the rules and disrespect authority, etc etc. im unsure what gadreels motives are other than to ruin everyones day, but hes doing a damn good job at it. all the blame is going to radford, and honestly, its just So Easy to blame him for it
i imagine it takes a while for most people to figure out that somethings wrong with radford. he does what he wants freely, wherever and whenever, so these mistakes could be rationalized by him having an off-day. i assume rad would look extremely tired after a days long session of gadreel torturing him (because he loves pushing the human body. bill cipher behavior). but i think what makes everyone truly concerned is when "radford" starts involving Others in his antics
it isnt like rad to encourage bad behavior. he would never tell rick to swap the prices of two items at his new job, or tell robert the best blind spots to steal from stores, or forcing kevin to take his anger out on someones property. the radford everyone knows is ditzy, but kindhearted. if theres trouble, radford would be the only perpetrator
and god, imagine how much worse it gets if "radford" gets in trouble with the police. john would be frustrated seeing his own nephew be so careless and cruel all of a sudden. itd probably even make him spiral and assume the cult had something to do with it, and that john and his family arent safe like he thought. and i think gadreel relishes in that knowledge
im also so curious as to how gadreel and radford met and how long the possession lasted, maybe it was a week? in my head, he came to radford in the form of a snake before revealing his true self and attacking, leaving no time for rad to fully process it and run away. i also assume skid and pump will have some involvement, and pumps eyes turning blue will be a clear sign that "radford" is associated with a demonic entity, or Is one. either way i love gadreels character being a "twisted" version of radfords if that makes sense
so um ya sorry for the longest ask ever. heres a drawing
OPOOOHMYGOHMOSIEJHIOSRHGIUSADHRUITGHSDUIGSDB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!??!?!?!?!? FUCK OK OKAYAKOAJTYAOKATY THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO COOL
THANK YOU FOR THE DRAWING, EATING IT, YOUR POINTS ARE ALL CORRECT
Unlike Moloch whose possessions are more brutal and obvious, Gadreel hides and youre so right! Hes here for the long haul babey!!
yes i imagine the possession lasted about a week, week and a half. Gadreel can't feel pain (at least Radfords pain i mean, he has a higher pain tolerance, as a demon yknow) so he could very well accidentally snap a bone as Radford and not even notice. What im saying is Rad is hospitalized afterwards
AUGHHH the police thing. Gadreel sees the cops and WANTS to get caught by them, just for goofs. in a "Oh what would happen if i did this :)" way.
GOD THIS IS SO COOL YOURE LITERALLY THE BEST
OH!! AND ON THE SUBJECT OF HOW RAD AND GADREEL MET !!
Instead of possessing Patty in the morgue, Gadreel took the form of a snake and.... left lmao. or got noticed and thrown out bc oh my god a snake
he ended up near the candyclub and radford was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gadreel saw Radford as a hiding place and a means to have fun.
I imagine Moloch doesnt care about what his vessels look like, meanwhile Gadreel won't possess someone if he thinks theyre lame. like yeah he couldve possessed patty but then he would've had to.... do stuff. eugh. This guy looked WAY more fun.
im actually vibrating yourel iterally the coolest dawg.
#RAMBLES FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL.#saving#spooky month#radford spooky month#spooky month radford#gadreel spooky month#spooky month gadreel

patrick hockstetter analysis hi, i realize there was spelling mistakes on my henry bowers one but i'm really too lazy to go over it all and fix em so if theres some on here too then ignore it! don't come at me for the hypothetical disorders i'm saying patrick may have, i do believe he probably is on the spectrum somehow and i will not listen to anyone who says otherwise.
patrick is SO INTERESTING, the disorders that i suspect he has is possibly CIPA as he doesnt show much reaction to pain and possibly some sort of BPD or autism but im more sure of CIPA. but it's confirmed for him to have solipsism he doesnt think other people or things are real, the reason he killed his little brother avery is because he felt avery was real and his parents were taking attention away from him. he doesnt like deviating from his schedule, he expects dinner to be at the same time, parents to be in bed at a certain time every day but the baby took away from that and so he suffocated avery to death. i believe he also has a sort of god complex as he thinks he decides what happens in the world. he doesnt think him harming people and animals matters because they aren't real anyways and meerly toys for him so he doesnt get bored. we don't get a lot of background on patrick let alone his parents but the movie gives us jack-shit about him. he's obviously a pyromaniac and doesnt seem to have any reaction to pain, laughing when henry hurts him after patrick sexually assaults him. he has a sort of psychosis, he doesn't love anyone besides himself but its not in a narcissistic way. he doesnt really have attachments to anyone, his family could die and he'd just be worried about whats for dinner. he'd only be upset cause it ruins his schedule. He would be upset if bowers gang died but simply because they bring him entertainment and its someone to bully kids with. I feel he probably was subjected to some sort of trauma when he was younger, possibly sexual or some form of neglect. people arent usually born acting how patrick does and all the adults shown in derry seem to be abusive or neglectful. his favorite past time is to torture kids and animals, he enjoys taking their lives, he has a fridge full of tortured animal corpses, mainly cats. since the fridge is his favorite thing it gets used as a factor of his demise, after sexually assaulting henry he goes to his fridge and is killed by pennywise. he loves to spend time at the barrens/junkyard since thats where a lot of the violence happens, those places being frequent bowers gang hang out spots. Bowers gang is scared of him, most adults are too. theres rumors floating around of patricks hobbies so people often let him do whatever he wants as to not agitate him. I dont know if victor and belch exactly know about the fridge as its a little hidden away in the junkyard but henry knows, when patrick teases henry for "letting him" sexually assault him henry shouts "if you fucking tell anyone about this im telling everyone about your fridge and you'll be taken away" or something similar. Henry keeps him around since 1, hes deeply scared of patrick and doesnt want to anger him 2, he also finds ways to entertain henry, helping him blow off steam from the abuse at home on other kids and sometimes animals. henry seems to be a big fan of animals but when he starts to go crazy after patrick dies he shows similarities to patricks behavior, growing violent with dogs and cats and being more murder-driven with his bullying. patrick seems kind of obsessed with henry but it could just be finding henry useful or a good source of entertainment and he can torture henry to end up getting what he wants. patrick is only fueled by his own selfish desires, he has no exact motivation for doing anything, other than him deciding he wants to. psychosis can be drawn out by not sleeping sometimes and maybe patrick could suffer from hallucinations, in the movie it seems he's scared of what he's killed coming back to life but honestly i dont think thats really accurate as i dont think that is something he would think about and he already feels no guilt about it so i think it was just the movie being stupid again. so if he does have hallucinations i think he would be indifferent to them, maybe only being annoyed they arent always at the same time every day.

chick hicks & jackson storm character analysis!!!!
so chick hicks has major daddy issues, plain and simple. because of his dad, he tied his self-worth to being a "winner". because of his dad, he made himself not care about anyone else but himself. because of his dad, everyone else was either a "loser" or someone standing in the way of victory
chick is arrogant, overly so. because of this, hes lonely. hes unbelievably lonely. do you think his crew chose to wear those matching mustaches? who would willingly hang out with the dirty, cheating, crash-causing, second-placing chick?
he surrounds himself with mirrors. with people that tell him what he wants to hear, and laugh at his stupid jokes, and just so happen to be on his payroll. but if you strip away all the sponsor money, the insults and jabs, the angry & arrogant exterior, youre left with a sad and disappointing middle-aged man that was never truly a "winner". a man that no one wants to love or even be associated with
(but hes in extreme denial about that)
now, jackson storm
i dont have access to a copy of storm chasing (damn ittttt) so i'll just be going off the wiki and the movie
jackson storm didnt even want to be a racer. he was completely fine with being an e-sports player. but he was extorted by a guy that ended up firing him anyways so here we are
because of that, jackson has the world's weirdest form of imposter syndrome. he doesnt belong here. hes the best racer there is. he shouldve been racing since he was a child. he hates being a racer. he wouldnt trade it for the world. he wishes he could be just a gamer again. etc etc
he never really compliments himself, though. he needs to tear someone else down to lift himself up. he needs someone thats "worse" than him before he can boast about how great he is. deep down, he doesnt like being a racer, and he feels that the racing world doesnt deserve him
he also never lets himself feel. hes always distant and his emotions are always disconnected from the present. this started out as a way to avoid having angry outbursts but now he feels shallow. his losses arent painful but his wins arent rewarding. meeting a fan feels the same as meeting a hater. everything just feels.... insincere
so yea 👍 thats my brainrot on them as individuals, the father-son dynamic brainrot will come soon

“it should’ve been called the love doctor”: a ‘how to date billy walsh’ movie review
i really only watched this bc charithra was in it, but also sometimes you just get in the mood for a cheesy teen romcom.
1. anyway. i hate archie’s character. he is the worst friend ever. like are you sure you like her??? bc hes so mean to her. he basically called her an ugly loser and made her fucking cry and then STILL chose to pretend to be the love doctor, lie to her face, and saboutage her the entire process.
2. that scene where amelia does the whole school girl outfit and then struts past everybody is so cute love her character. i’m so mad it didnt end well for her then they called her splat face girl like yall are DEAD WRONGGG lmaoo
3. yknow ik shes crazy for being in love w/ billie after 10 hours but hes fine as hell so i mean.. i get it.
4. mean girls in movies need to have better digs. they were not intimidating. NO BARS. but when archie said “if i throw a stick amber would you chase it”?!?!?! he ate this one lil thing and the bitch responds w/ “sorry i dont speak nerd” girl pls move on. and then he said “we’ve got geography and these bitches are history” BARSSSSS
5. i’m sorry i’m back again to shit on archie. he is the WORST. it’s so hard to watch amelia take his love doctor advice on her date with billy brooo it’s painful i had to keep pausing. i’m praying she uses her brains and they end up dating at the end bc i stg if somehow archie gets the girl after treating her like shit i’ll throw up.
6. i’m ngl billys you dont know me speech reminded me of that riverdale scene where the guy is like i had to drop out of the fifth grade to push drugs to support my nana or whatever he said
7. i’m sick of millenials making teen movies and shows and putting every cliche they can. no one uses hashtags anymore outside of tumblr like pls get real and then the overuse of emojis boooo
8. i feel like they forced this whole billy and amelia arent right for eachother thing and it makes no sense. like they pour their hearts out to each other for what…for him to judge her for a fear fart pls…like archie is an asshole stop trying to make fetch happen!
9. she ditches him… at her house… right before the dance…ykw maybe i was wrong maybe amelia and archie are made for eachother. both so unnecessarily mean
10. he said “ive never been broken up w before so can i stop u right there” lmao iconic. love billy walsh. he is the best character in the movie. nobody deserves him. ig i forgive amelia tho cus she apologized.

Propaganda post about my fave medias time! [#1]
Hiiii, I just wanna talk about and recommend some things I like on my blog here! I don't always draw fanart for everything that I like and find inspiring, but I like sharing what I feel are gems with others. (the gifs im adding arent mine)
I've got a small handful of movies that involve animals and a predator+prey relationship, with plenty of cute moments mixed with heart-aching moments. They're all animated kids movies with the potential to hit pretty hard. There's something tragic to the way each movie acknowledges nature and has a character try and fight the standard order of things.
One Stormy Night
Over time, this one has become my favorite of these. This movie can provide such an unexpected comfort with how it approaches friendship as something that can transcend all else, and not need any complex reason to exist. It centers around a friendship between a wolf and goat, from how they first become friends and into how they have to fight to keep their friendship. The art style and protagonists are adorable and goofy, maintaining a delightful levity and earnestness throughout the whole movie. There is still plenty of drama surrounding their romeo-and-juliet-type relationship, and the lengths these characters go to to be friends is captivating. I rewatch this movie every now and then and it still manages to make me cry through it's earnestness and the truths it speaks to.
You are Umasou
The art style for this is extremely bright, unrealistic, cartoony, and adorable. The story is similarly cartoony, and yet it hits on some very grounded topics about family, facing difficult truths, and finding your own path in life even if it doesnt fit what's conventional. This movie gets bonus points from me for having two main predator+prey relationships that mirror each other. It's heartwarming and silly and has plenty of entertaining action moments with a good dose of drama. It's really charming and sticks with me.
Chirin's Bell
Heads up, this one is bleaker than the rest, and I love it for it's tragedy(behind the very cute artstyle for the sheep, no less). The protaganist sheep starts from an understandable position where he is tired of being the prey, the victim. His journey to do something about it pushes him to see and do things he never would have done otherwise. And it's this path he takes that has both impressive and unintended consequences. The film seems to pose questions like "is it better to live in ignorance if you can?", "how far will you go to ensure you can't be hurt again?", and "how do you reconcile with abandoning your origins?". The ending feels inevitable and yet haunting all the same.
Leafie: A Hen into the Wild
This one has held up for me perhaps the least, due to it's specific brand of cartoony-ness and unexpected gross factor(this ties into the original vs english/censored versions of the movie. arguably it's a personal preference thing in the end, but i'm actually glad i watched the censored version first.) However, it has still hit home for me several times before and deserves it's credit! The movie tackles the idea of remaining locked inside a system vs living free in the wild where there are many more dangers and mistakes to be made. It also focuses heavily on motherhood, where love and selflessness win in a fight against the uncaring and unmoving whims of others and nature itself. The protagonist's determination to be free and live the life she wants despite her ignorance and the pain it causes her is very moving to me. There is tragedy sprinkled thru the movie and yet it's underscored by how the protagonist is resolved see it all as worthwhile. The movie is often goofy, often dramatic, and overall bittersweet.

Jack and the Cuckoo-clock heart: Let's talk about it, one last time.
This is my last installment of Malzieu's bizarre creation, following the two previous ones.
PART 3: THINGS THAT ARENT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH
The ambiguous description and depiction of Acacia’s complexion
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7ca9c3a83a2065e54c083d6ae3fc0983/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-e7/s540x810/e7f530cdec289b269085610b63f609dad93a4bd6.jpg)
I read on an random article of the movie that Mathias Malzieu, the author of the book and the vocalist of Dionysus ( a French rock band that contributed heavily on the films soundtrack), who also voices Jack in the French Version of the film, based his character Jack of himself and Acacia as Olivia Ruiz (who.also voices the character) , his ex-partner of 7 years.
I do not remember ever encountering the exact skin tone of Acacia in the book but I felt like she was white washed in the movie. In the music video,Tais-toi mon Coeur (performed by Mathias Malzieu and Olivia Ruiz), she was depicted similar to Olivia herself: a little more tan. However, in the cover art of the book, Acacia would be light skinned.
Only her dark brown eyes, hair, red dress, small nose and small stature was descriptive of her appearance. All of Acacia’s features, apart from the comically tiny nose (I think Mathias wanted to create a pixie character therefore that feature) including being myopic, are literally OLIVIA. I have no idea why exactly but I found it odd that she wasn't..tan in depiction all throughout , especially when the muse was literally…the voice actress. So why not make her tan? I dunno, HAHA.
EDIT: So I did look up pictures of Olivia, I don't know if it's tge lighting but I think her skintone would be either lightly tanned or warmly fair. I guess her character's skin being ambiguous just might be understandable just for that. Maybe I was just noticing the undertone of Acacia’s skin in the movie and book cover: cool fair. I wished it was warmer.
The resemblance of the 2 of main women of Jack's life
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/31e142ff4f36417da40701f59b7bf0b0/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-27/s540x810/2322710c2136d3f1c8f605cbc09e31d0db814368.jpg)
Mathias recalled that Olivia had a disturbing resemblance to his late mother, which shocked his family. I noticed that in the movie, his biological mother and Acacia had similar features.
I wanted to say as well that it was just the same face syndrome that happens in stylistic animations however I observed other characters and they were all unique. Different noses, lips, expressions, height, body.
But these two women were oddly similar.
Probably their most similar features were youthful features (petite stature, small noses, wide spaced doll eyes), their hair, and this is rather by association, but the color red.
In a way, I think Jack had some Freudian thing. He was attracted to someone who eerily resembles his mother, and in the book, he describes her perfectly by detail. Just from the first chapter, his mother seemed to be a very young mother, at best , a teen.
The Snow and the Red Coats
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a78aac0aecccabf958708e59c88e7c7f/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-a0/s540x810/a08aff8e5ed329883a86b98f558f327464fad364.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/65b677fdd3f4c4ee81f7dff655fd007f/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-e7/s540x810/5df5970dd632547c1223586cfc1b6ebf3977f49a.jpg)
Speaking of his mom and Acacia, notice how the scenes of his biological mother climbing up the hill in a red coat Mirrored Acacia also in a red coat,climbing up to save Jack.
His mother’s warmth, probably visually symbolized by her red coat and warm tones, tried to keep him in her womb just in time to be delivered. Madeleine ultimately saved him, and his mother (movie), with a heavy heart but a made up mind, left her in the care of Madeleine.
In my opinion, it mirrors heavily with Jack's death too. Acacia coming to save him, though Jack already made up his mind, gave him enough warmth to keep him alive. Here, he takes the opportunity to succeed in his dream to be with her and share their first and last kiss. Jack dies, and in my mind, reunited with Madeleine again up in heaven.
There are more mirroring here beside those, such as both of the women cried frozen droplets of tears, pain and anguish (Jack's mother in labor and Acacia losing Jack), I discussed this above but both of them are almost uncanny (the bun, the hair, the lips, the face too), and running out of time.
Madeleine and Jack were tethered.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fcce032da728c6f8cde5cea84e1c556b/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-ea/s540x810/d7fa217e596246873a912c2ed66d8cbfbfb87de8.jpg)
Madeleine's influence was heavy in both adaptations, especially in the book. He would think about her a lot, imagine that her and Acacia would get along, and …even when he was with Acacia, he would think of her (the book had a scene that probably inspired that weird flashes of Madeleine when he tried to kiss Acacia). The book’s plot showed this relationship to be a classic relationship of parental attachment, where Jack would find it hard to make choices on his own, even forming a substantially fulfilling romantic relationship. I am glad that the book ended with him (though ambiguous) having a chance to grow up without her. But, I still prefer the movie.
In the movie, his heart was really taken very seriously because it WAS serious (I still have a grudge against the book about it being a placebo attachment) and while Jack already did whatever he wanted, her influence does affect a lot of his choices. Still, he was able to form new bonds and even his relationship with Acacia was okay (significantly in the movie). Breaking the three rules gave him the freedom to choose but he wasn't exactly equipped to deal with his emotions. Yes, he was well off on his own, but didn't have much guidance as his handicap was unique.
The gut punch of Madeleine dying was more than just a loved one or a savior dying, it was the ultimate death to what she left behind to keep him alive, his mechanical heart. I like that the film portrayed it like that. Acacia may have been his north star, but Madeleine was his home, now she was gone.
On Madeleine's part, a lot of her love as mother came from broken dreams and genuine love altogether. As a mother who suffered miscarriage and was told that she can never bear any children again, Jack was God's gift to her and of course, she would want him protected at all costs. She already lost her first and second chance of motherhood. Jack was everything to her and her death in prison may have been devastating to her own self too. Maybe it was true what Joe said in the film, she really might have died from a broken heart. Madeleine was said to be arrested before and for sure, she could've survived but I think her fear got the absolute best of her. I have been told before that any mother who loves her child would go crazy wondering if they're alright, even if they stepped out the door to go to school. Jack was Madeleine's greatest dream come true.
It's very sad but poetically beautiful. I like to think that Madeleine was Jack's heart all along and Jack was hers. Yeah. Cry about it.
The Warm and The Cold
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f8a68b8428b1ca2f2530897fda7ea8aa/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-2a/s640x960/9ea2cd193d7fad10cff431e428accc2656194df8.jpg)
Jack was born on the coldest day on Earth, raised in Edinburgh, a cold town, and most of his childhood on screen had a colder and even harsher contrast atmosphere. In Granada, Spain, it was warm and maybe for more contrast, The Extraordinarium was set as a circus by the desert, and Acacia's colors were stark red, contrasting Edinburgh’s bluish tones and blending well with the warm tinted atmosphere in Spain.
In hindsight, the symbolism of contrasting elements could suggest Jack's circumstances, Edinburgh kept him locked up in the dark and Granada set him free into the light.
But there is also one more contrast. In Jack's eyes, the people in his life, especially Madeleine and Acacia, are also seen in different lighting. I noticed that even when Madeleine has gray muted tones, her scenes would show her in warmer light, signifying her comforting nurturing aura as Jack's mother (albeit adoptive). Joe would be shown as dark and blue, even with warm light. Acacia is shown in warm lighting in his imagination, or whenever they are getting close but interestingly, she has scenes where she would blend well in cold blue tones, like when she was floating thinking about her first love. It might be because Jack sees her like a shooting star or a spark, who belongs in the dark blue sky to shine, far away from his grasp. Even by the end, her red coat, though it stood out, felt cold. Speaking of the ending, the transition from the bright cold snow that suddenly invited warm, almost twinkling, rays of sun as he died was beautiful. In a way, it goes to show that his freedom from life was way warmer than his only pursuit of finding Acacia.
The use of bizarre animation for metaphorical senses
The book is a figure of speech vomit, everything is fantastically and overtly expressed with metaphors, imaginative similes and personifications and a whole lot more literary devices I could not list down here. It would make sense that it should be adapted in animated form. Out of all the visual metaphors, I loved the floating to indicate the feeling of being in love and the use of thorns for Acacia's defensive nature. The most iconic use is the paper cut out scenes, describing the excitement of adventure, Acacia’s pixie depictions and her infamous Malaguena performance, and the use of the harmonica train
The use of birds
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4724b1da335970c40fee472783113e91/a86e72b84a6d0cd4-f3/s540x810/954f3cc6830e34b6c993fa3fe234075b403eb8a9.jpg)
If Coraline used bugs, Jack and the Cuckoo-clock heart used birds, this is much more apparent in the book and dialogues instead of the visual.
Such as:
●Jack was described as a little white bird by Madeleine on the day he was born.
● Acacia was associated with a sprite. Joe was compared to a raven.
●Brigitte Heim is apparently an evil ostrich, according to Jack.
●His heart is specifically a cuckoo clock heart
●In the book, a carrier pigeon was given to Jack before he escaped the police, of which he used to write letters to his family in Edinburgh.
●Arthur's gift to Jack, which are eggs that remind him of his ex wife.
There are a lot of bird elements, literally the intro of the movie is a red bird that froze and landed on the bun of Jack's mother while she was climbing up the hill.
In some way, I think birds are a way to symbolize Jack's yearning for freedom, to be able to choose according to his wants. Book Jack was basically handicapped and babied by his adoptive mother, suffered bullying and torment by Joe and even his relationship with Acacia, he was trapped and complied to her wishes and neglecting his own wants. It wasn't until the end where he was able to break free from these chains, his heart was replaced and his mother’s death set him free to make his own choices without fear, his love for Acacia gave him the motivation however their relationship was not meant to be, but that gave him a chance to live authentically.
In the movie, his actions did set him free and was able to truly live authentically with his own choices, even with such harsh hindrances and fears. I really think the movie did him a lot more justice when it came to his freedom of will, he faced life head on with fears that didn't hold him back. He was much more sympathetic in the film, making me cheer him on despite the sad ending I knew he’ll get. The book made me want him to leave Acacia, and live for himself, he was really in a toxic relationship, like a bird who was set free from a cage then caged again the minute it found a new owner.

ok so new au post bc it went haywire after the horses
so, all might has to be in a hospital for a while after the fight with all for one. this is a v secretive hospital where u basically have to be a hero, a politician, or heinously rich to get into. coincidentally, there is also a person who is both heinous and heinously rich who decided to send his son there.
ironically, doing the exact same thing that nana shimura did w her own children for exactly the same reason (otherwise what? trust trubasa with his kid?). izuku is kind of sickly, which is hereditary, and quirkless, which is also hereditary. all for one, father of the year, has a dragons hoard of quirks, including passive ones which just increase health. he weighs his options and without asking izuku (of course), figures hed be better off suffering the short lived pain of quirk transmission than suffering the long term pain of a crazy weak immune system.
after doing this, he sends izuku to the best hospital in the country to recover so, in the timespan where hes fucking up all might, in case anything goes awry (which it does). he also uses a quirk to change his eye and hair color, and remove the freckles.
so izuku has an illness nobody really understands (bc its a symptom of forced quirk transmission), but hes a tiny fucking trooper and the whole hospital loves him. hes a tiny ball of sunshine who talks like a little adult but stumbles on the adult words and gives nonsensical advice like kids do, but a little scarier
All might is in a kind of tucked away corner of the hospital that people arent supposed to go into, but izuku gets away with everything (historically) and loves to explore, so inevitably izuku ends up in toshinori's ward. maybe the door's open bc hes recently woken up or smth and the nurse is in there and this man sees a fluffy little dude w them Big Ole Eyes peeking in from the hallway. izuku skitters away after a short scolding from the nurse but ofc he returns later to talk to the thin man w the intense blue eyes whe looks haunted
at this point in life, izuku has encountered a lot of people who look haunted and hopeless, whether while around his father or at the hospital. he likes cheering them up. in a way, its selfless, bc he doesnt expect anything for it. but its also selfish in the way a child is; he wants them to smile for his own self satisfaction rather than bc its actually helping them. hes a bit emotionally stunted empathetically for obvious reasons
all might feels like hes lost all hope and thinks he could probably never use one for all every again. izuku thinks calling something impossible is just giving up on it. theyre both wrong but they help each other and grow together and become very close.
(unrelated but all might does not give izuku his real name. izuku asks and the first thing that pop into his head is captain america, the movie he watched before his shit got rocked, and steve was added into his glorious hall of monikers)
its also assisted by the fact that since izuku has come to the hospital, his father has not visited him even once, despite promising to. all might has never met izukus father *cough cough* but his impression of him already isnt very good. he gets so attached, despite telling himself thay he cant get attached bc look what happened to nana, right?
all for one gets his kid back many months later, when his brain damage is repaired enough for him to be awake a few hours a day, and his adorable mischievous child is going on and ON about becoming a hero. whoever 'steve' was, all for one was gonna beat their ass.

share your silly billy headcanons
fuckkk i gotta think of some silly ones….
ok these arent all silly but. perhaps a bit billy.
Random Logan Headcanons;
i think logans got a real sweet tooth. but also just poor eating habits in general. like he’ll just eat tubs of icecream and call it dinner. its not really much of a headcanon ig, since its shown a couple times in canon….
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/43307caa3bd21db76b0b634dab85bc2b/a0f5b138ff1b3a85-21/s540x810/196ba5c23f72ca14031487eb6a5b274801f7419e.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8843afc3784df68242180d695dd92e9f/a0f5b138ff1b3a85-d1/s540x810/8452ae4a04efe00c02f4de5eaaf75aed4a5d479c.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9e4a1ac7a274cd6a1ca44980046eb68d/a0f5b138ff1b3a85-16/s540x810/6a7cc882d2a628afe2d72362c2b07621a65d8006.jpg)
ig a headcanon related to that would be that he has no fucking clue how to shop for groceries, mainly just eating whatevers around the xmansion or going to the gas station/corner store for snacks. if he went to an actual grocery store i feel like he’d get easily overwhelmed, overthink it, and get paranoid about people judging him(grocery shopping is peak Normal human behaviour and the standards are EXTREMELY HIGH). he also just hates shopping in general.
for a lot of things in his life he tends to settle for just surviving, not really having much care for the quality of his living conditions, just as long as theres somewhere to sleep n things to eat n alcohol to drink.
logan makes more animal noises when hes around his friends, and even more when hes alone. theyre basically vocal stims.
he talks/monologues to himself a lot. used to a lot more, but now its mostly when hes alone.
despite all the talk of needing to be more Man than Animal, he actually likes showing of his mutant abilities. like hes always up to arm wrestle, race someone, or do a cool trick with his claws. he’ll show off his healing factor too, ignoring the pain for pleasure of just getting a reaction out of someone, especially if hes doing a bit.
watches sports just to have some stimulation for his brain. he doesnt really have an interest in sports, but has picked up some context over just from watching it for so long that he knows the basics of whats going on. mostly comes in handy so he can have an excuse to yell at something. but honestly he’d probably even yell at a cooking show.
sleeps nude, mainly just a texture problem. he can sleep in terrible conditions when out on missions and stuff, but when at home he tries to have it as comfortable as possible.
reads a lot of books(again, as a way of keeping his brain stimulated) and leans towards more slice of life ones, as well as romance.
chews on his dogtags.
Random Victor Headcanons;
also makes animal noises as a vocal stim, but a lot of them are more involuntary. his meowing is also really high pitch compared to his regular speaking voice.
listens to music to keep his brain stimulated. loud stuff. he also gets some noise cancelling headphones at somepoint, and likes that they just look like regular headphones.
flicks his nails together as a stim.
a harmful stim he has is scratching himself, like long lines across anywhere on his skin.
he kept one of logans button up shirts after a fight one time, a super long time ago, and uses it as something to snuggle for comfort when he sleeps. side effect from this is that sometimes when fighting, logans scent will make him sleepy….
likes trench coats that have a fuck ton of pockets. he likes to be prepared, but also refuses to buy a handbag, so hes got all kinds of weird stuff in his pockets.
watches a lotttttt of tv. and movies. hes kind of a cinephile.
the reason his hair is so perfect all the time is that the healing factor applies to stuff like hair and nails as well. unlike logan(who uses a bunch of hair product daily) victor keeps his natural. he rarely even needs to brush it. he took to putting it up in a ponytail for when he needs to look more professional, since normally its fairly big and fluffy. he’ll sometimes put it up in a high ponytail or bun too, and occasionally add accessories n braids to it.
prefers hot showers/baths. also hangs out in his hot tub a lot. makes him feel clean.
huge wardrobe, all kinds of outfits. he tends to keep a lot of his clothes from over the decades, even if he doesnt wear them anymore.

Not that anon that asked you about A Real Pain but I went to watch A Real Pain and I really liked it. Both cousins (felt very real to me) and very honest depictions of what seems to be the case for a lot of people nowadays; being disconnected from life and sincerity and kinda getting by day by day on the hopes that you are a better person than the person you are judging.
Like Jesse's character David is a complete asshole and very jealous and seeing the way he was conflicted about how much comfort he got from the fact Benji was kinda a dead-end loser despite the fact people liked him more.
And then Benji who cant get it together long enough to succeed because of a lot of things including his depression.
Yeah I liked it and I liked that it was set to the backdrop of touring Poland on a heritage trip because they were meant to like find themselves somehow or learn something but in the end that made no difference whatsoever, that horrific past had no real impact, it was just a convinent detour in their lives to pretend that they are engaged with the world outside of themselves but they really arent.
But more than anything I was really impressed by David's character and his casual self-centered, self-pitying cruelty.
Interesting, anon! I do agree that the trip not having any real or lasting impact on either of them was effectively done, but I don't know if I think David was a complete asshole and I didn't see him as a cruel person at all really? I think he was certainly selfish, but I saw his inability to connect with others as being fundamentally about his inability to allow himself his own feelings, something that he'd clearly learned given how much Benji tells us explicitly that David used to be an extremely emotional child.
I thought the movie did a pretty good job of telling us that David was also used to cleaning up after Benji - the little beat with the tour guide after Benji dressed him down I felt was one of the more effective moments in the film - and his emotional eruption at the group dinner which revealed Benji's suicide attempt I think was very much about showing us that David hadn't dealt with his own feelings about that, and how much pain he himself was trying to distance himself from.
I didn't hate the film by any stretch of the imagination, I even did like quite a few things about it, but - - mm. I guess one of my issues was that I don't think the movie could decide how the rest of the tour group felt about Benji and David, together or apart, and would have their feelings change purely for the sake of the plot, which ultimately made Benji's supposed effortless charisma and impact on people feel inauthentic to me. I understand the creative decision to keep us out of Benji's conversations with others, but I actually don't think I agree with it. I think we needed at least one scene where we actually really saw him work his magic on someone to balance the times we saw him go after people, and the fact that all of those scenes were out of earshot I think weakened the movie overall.
I did think the cinematography was beautiful though, and I actually loved all the shots of walls. It felt really poignant and thematically on point to me, but I loathed the score. I felt it often didn't match up to the emotion of the scene at all, which makes sense when you consider it's predominantly Chopin, and not music actually written for the film. I honestly think a more fitting score probably would've made me like it more.
