#THIS PLACE COULD BE BEAUTIFUL RIGHT?

[lusilly]

A DIY zine for Lilah Young, Momma, Auntie, the seventh daughter, the seventh mother, practitioner of kitchen witchery and granny magic. Maker of deals, taker of firstborn children. Scold’s daughter.

All text within the zine from Courtney Love Prays to Oregon.

Lilah learned by watching her mother’s hands, disassembling dead rattlers, darning socks and mending dresses. Butchering a buck in the lean season, peeling the skin, saving the velvet which hung from its antlers. She felt sick but she felt alive. This is what she was made for. This is what she received, in return for surrendering her own freedom. She learned how to make a deal. She learned how to take a child when they were not immediately given, and she learned of pretend deals, by desperate young women heavy in pregnancy begging for any small spell which would require a child as payment.          “We take these children,” was all Agnes told her.          “And the mothers?” asked Lilah. “What do they get in return?”          “Nothing,” answered Agnes flatly. “Which is the only thing they want.”

trying not to talk too much abt the bear s2 but im Really fuckin frustrated that even with everyone demanding that they’re sooo media literate and sooo smart that no one has talked about claire and the way she sparks audience discomfort. like, she feels out of place within the show because CARMY cannot accept that he is getting this good thing—she feels out of place in HIS life. she’s actually crafted to be the ideal girlfriend, with glowy bokeh lighting in a grocery store and beauty shot close ups and a sweet instrumental leitmotif to show to you, an audience member, that she’s too good to be true in carmys eyes. if you’re an audience member, she raises alarm bells in YOUR head because she raises alarm bells in HIS. he literally tells us that—that’s the crux of his final monologue, that he doesn’t believe he can have the life of food and wines best chef and a life of love and human connection. he doesn’t believe he’s deserving of good things because his family has always been so fucked, because nothing he’s ever tried to hold together has held together—except for his cooking. it’s done this way on purpose, to make you feel that anxiety that he feels around this relationship, and to make you question why you feel it too

something’s wrong?

I know I've been on about this for a while now and I'm being a hater but you're telling me SydCarmy was "always meant to be platonic" even though there are two seasons of writing making use of tried-and-true explicitly romantic tropes, themes and writing signals, and SydLuca is going to be romantic because...he was nice to her on screen for a few minutes?

I don't even care if people ship SydLuca, or if they just prefer it, but you can't honestly tell me that you believe Carmy was always meant to be a friend but Luca is an obvious love interest.

Just because Syd and Carmy haven't kissed or confessed their love to each other doesn't mean that isn't very obviously the direction this show is going. The Bear has already shown you who is endgame. It has shown you every episode of the show so far.

Honestly I really don't think The Bear fanbase understands this show or cares about these characters or the story being told here, which is unfortunate because this show is shockingly well-written in comparison to most shows right now, and we should be so grateful for it but all we're doing is complaining that the writers led us on by not making a ship canon fast enough. It's just. Sad.

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

for reasons (i love frustrating myself) i was watching caroline winkler’s video on how to discover your interior design tastes and she basically specifically made a pinterest board with a lot of different stuff so you could see things of variation and not just based off what you clicked on last in the algorithm, so she had you go through and save anything you just loved, ask what you love about it, if there’s anything you dislike about it, and slowly whittle down from there till everything is both something you love and cohesive.

so i did that. and i thiiink what i wound up with is cohesive but idk what i’d call it.

Just watched Nimona

The fact this movie never got a theater release because of Blue Sky's closure and Disney deciding to nix it once acquired will forever break my heart holy shit.

Like up front it is BEAUTIFULLY animated, the writing is tight as hell, the story is genuinely moving and amazing. By that alone it deserved to be in theaters.

*deep breath*

But BOY HOWDY am I SALTY AS FUCK that a animated movie that is accessible to kids, especially queer kids, got knocked out of the process to reach theaters when

IT JUST CASUALLY HAS A INTERRACIAL GAY COUPLE WITH A (metaphorically) ADOPTED (literally) TRANS CHILD AS THE 3 MAIN CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE THE FUCKING HELL WE COULD'VE HAD ALL THIS PERFECTLY DONE QUEER MEDIA ON THE BIG SCREEN AS A COHERENT AMAZING STORY FUC-

disney channel romance peaked when lucas grabbed maya’s face during that campfire scene.
