Watched the movie yesterday and here are my thoughts:
The movie and the storyline in general are 7/10. Nothing new and a typical love/heart break story. BUT JoshLia serves. Acting and visuals wise, they are giving. Did they make me cry? Of course! Ako pa ba? Baka iyakin lang talaga ako pero I felt the story. I don’t have the same experience because I know for myself that I cannot be casual with my ex. It is just JoshLia showcases “that” chemistry. They make you feel the love that they share and the pain that they suffered on that relationship. Sabi nga ng Tita ko, Juancho and Zy’s story tells what really happened to Joshua and Julia. I do not want to give spoilers but if I am a JoshLia fan, I would agree. It is like they are narrating what between them.
There is a bit of comedy also. Julia and Joshua is effortlessly funny and such a joy to watch.
People get tired. People have limits. People only have so much to offer and so much to give. There are also people who are really madly and crazily in love to the point that their way of thinking and decisions do not make sense and are just pure stupid.
And it is also true that sometimes, the best and most logical choice is to let go, even if you do not want to, even if never wanted to. Letting go doesn’t mean love vanished or given up. Sometimes, you just know that better is coming when you decide to go out of that situation or relationship.
Unhappy For You also tells us that there is always two sides of the story. One’s perspective is different than the other. There should not be a good guy bad guy in the relationship because both parties are mutually happy during the relationship and also mutually suffering during or after the relationship.
Communication, growth, support, and dreams should always be present and should always be mutually understood and committed. One cannot function alone to carry the relationship. It always takes two to tango.
For the technicalities, Star Cinema always produces beautifully shot scenes and angles. I guess Moira’s Paubaya is really JoshLia’s breakup theme song since it was released. The scoring made me cry. The writing is good also —- the movie is romantic but has comedy on the side.
Everyone can enjoy the movie and the chemistry of JoshLia. Tho I would say that this movie is best suited for couples who are young in love and just starting life together. They will learn a lot from this movie.
You need to wake up and get up. You'll have to figure things out yourself, you can't keep abandoning yourself and chase a person. You can't help someone while ruining yourself. Someone needs to end it, you need to end it. But never forget to communicate with the person before you do.
here's something you guys probably forgot about.... the pomni backflip art i promised for 10k notes on the post that now has 16k notes... whoops
i may have let her land the backflip but at the end of the day she is a failgirl :)
being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one
ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story
im sure its been said already but as the election draws near more and more liberals will come out of the woodwork to shame people with a conscience to give away their vote to the democrats for free. i'm already seeing posts saying "why aren't people more concerned about a trump presidency?" you want to know why? it's because people already know he's bad. everyone already knows what he is and what he's done and what he'll do. there's nothing to discuss. he's a racist despotic worm of a man. there's nothing else to say.
biden is currently president. the genocide is happening under his watch. he's the one funding isra*l and arming them; he's sidestepped congress more than once to give them weapons. by oct. 27, the biden administration already knew that "Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets." the state department/biden have engaged in atrocity propaganda, cast doubt on the legitimacy of the death toll recorded by the gaza health ministry, and so on. the united states is currently in the process of trying to pin the "war in gaza" on netanyahu (see sen. schumer's speech) after months of backing blatant genocide as a means to act as if they're "doing something" about the genocide (Instead of, say, threatening to cut off all aid to israel with the condition that all hostilities in gaza, the west bank, and occupied jerusalem are halted immediately and permanently, allowing palestinians freedom to travel, allowing aid into gaza, etc etc etc.)
the long and short of it is that liberals view their own lives as being worth more than palestinians'. that's it. they'll vote for another 4 years of the guy ushering in genocide and supporting apartheid + settler colonialism because he isn't outright attacking them (despite various laws and rulings happening both at the supreme court level and at the local level all over the country that will endanger people). they'll settle for the illusion of safety and security and shame anyone with a conscience and accuse them of "supporting the republicans" when in an actual democracy you would be able to use your vote as leverage to extract concessions from those who want to be elected. that's how it's supposed to fucking work.
democrats are not owed people's vote. if biden loses, it will be biden's fault; it will be his campaign's fault; it will be the democrats' fault. trump is bad; the republicans are bad. we already know this. this is not an endorsement of either. but if democrats are too cowardly and feckless and servile to the motivations of the american empire and never do anything for their constituents then why the fuck should anyone vote for them. you want to get mad at someone, why don't you do something useful and stop worrying about team-sports with a purely selfish basis and start hounding the people in power who are supposed to serve you, the voter.
