milex and 'withnail & i'

i finally watched the queer cult/feel-good/feel-bad film 'withnail & i' (1987, dir. bruce robinson) last night, mentioned by milex in an interview in 2008. there were three bits that i found to be... 'particularly puppety'

aside from what he says, can you spot the wolves there? withnail is giving a breathtaking performance, but the animals don't seem really interested... a thing that @misskattylashes cleverly spotted - 'you thought the wolves would be impressed' (the jeweller's hands)

The reason Carl came back in Kaze to Ki no Uta was because, when writing Wedding License, Carl was her favorite!! And she didn't want to stop drawing him, so she brought him back

WE JUST FINISHED KEITO’S ROUTE AND NOW WE’RE FINALLY AT DDD!!!

We finally finished Keito’s route and now we’re heading towards DDD! We’re finally at Doomsdaydreams. I enjoyed Keito’s route! We were able to speedrun through it and read the newer dialogue from his perspective. I think it was fun and I’m happy that Keito was able to find himself a good future, where he can continue living on as an adult. There’s just so much stuff in Keito’s route that will make your head explode! Especially at the end!! Please do read it yourself~ you will enjoy it~

I wonder how it’ll work for that part! But basically we can chose either between Natsume or Yumehisa to look into.

My friend has been waiting so long for Natsume content and lore that he has no patience to leave him last lol. I look forward to seeing Natsume’s route and learning more about him and his lore!

It’s late now and I have to sleep! It’s 3 am as I post this! Well goodnight…I’ll continue updating on here!

People keep reblogging this saying “it’s just because she was nearsighted and the transformation fixed her vision”. Yes, that’s true, but that and OP’s point are NOT mutually exclusive. Ryōko Kui puts a lot of thought and care and symbolism into the manga. This is no exception.

Something can have a tangible explanation while also being symbolic.

Think back. When is our first indication that something’s wrong with Falin after the resurrection? It’s when she sits up in bed and her eyes are WIDE open. This was pre-transformation.

“It is possible to survive this, but not unaltered.” —Emily St. John Mendel, Station Eleven

Falin could not have survived this unaltered, but she didn’t even survive in the first place. She died and was brought back by gruesome means. While yes, there is a physical reason for her opening her eyes, it goes hand in hand with this “but not unaltered” symbolism. The transformation is both physical AND mental; we can’t forget that. Her mind is warped right now. She can hardly think for herself. You’ll even notice that her pupils are different in the moment where Falin has a moment of clarity to speak to Laios (shown below).

I repeat: Something can have a tangible explanation while also being symbolic.

the juxtaposition of falin’s eyes being drawn as “closed” when she was her own separate individual and her eyes being open when she’s being subsumed by the curse placed on the soul and flesh of the dragon and out of control of her actions

If I take the steps to have the fulfilling relationship I genuinely want with my dad i’ll cry for the rest of my life
