#WHERE IS EDEN???

[steddie-island]

I was tagged by @tangerinesteve to do the ST character ranking. This was fun but also a little stressful. 😂😂😂😂

I feel like I need to defend a lot of my choices too (especially for the 'ok' tier lol) but 🤷🏼‍♀️ this is a silly thing that literally means nothing IRL. They're barbies. If your favorite barbie isn't my favorite barbie that's cool. We're allowed to have different favorite barbies.

No pressure tagging @rozzieroos @spectrum-spectre @augustjustice @puppy-steve and anyone else who wants to do it.

Talia has been on edge ever since receiving August's text last night. Talking it out with Eden only solidified that telling Otis was the right thing to do, but it didn't make it any easier. Taking some time to channel her emotions into music, she's hoping she'll be ready tomorrow

reblogging again about Big Eden made me think about some of the native american/canadian queer cinema (Indigiqueer Cinema) I've enjoyed.

Found a handy dandy Letterboxd List called Queer Native Pride and Beyond that has a whole bunch of movies I haven't seen yet, and below some of the ones I've gotten to experience (three out of four are linked):

Big Eden: a story about a gay man who returns home, because his grandfather gets sick. A sweet, beautiful man (played by Eric Schweig) starts to secretly make him food to help out. it's an amazing slice-of-life/subtly utopian bit of film-making, in that nobody in the town is homophobic, but being gay/shame is still a big part of the exploration within it.

Wildhood: a movie I got to watch at a film festival (always good to go to your local queer film festivals, many surprises to be had) and it blew me away. a roadtrip movie about two brothers who escape their abusive father to reconnect with the elder's mother and Mi'kmaq heritage. letting go of the instilled shame of being indigenous goes hand in hand with letting go of the instilled shame of being queer

Fancy Dance: this movie isn't about being queer, it's about the ongoing murder of indigenous woman and girls, and it's also a beautiful road trip film between an aunt and her niece, the former of whom is sure her sister is dead but unwilling to face it and to destroy her niece's innocence. Lily Gladstone plays the lead, who's also a lesbian, which is just a choice that works really well for the movie even if it's not the focal point (available on Apple+ TV and however you access movies, but would recommend throwing this one some views if you have access to official streaming)

Honey Moccasin: a 1998 movie i watched at another film festival (this time online), it's anarchic, it's a comedy, it's a thriller, it's got musical beats, it weaves in the intricacies of exploring Native identity and Queer identity, it's a surreal story about a few things, one of which include focus on a "closeted drag queen." it's a movie that beats against conventional film-making to create something not beholden to tropes and clichés forced upon narratives about being Native

Does anyone else think each Tozu Theater is about the different students?

I haven’t seen people talk about them much, and when they do it’s assuming they’re things Tozu himself thought, but I’ve noticed some interesting patterns. Here is who I think each one is about:

Tozu Theater #1 - Wolfgang Akire

I interpret this one to be about the concept of children unintentionally becoming exactly like their bad parents, something clearly alluded to with Wolfgang. And considering it’s theorized his father violently murdered his mother… isn’t it relevant that the lawyer unknowingly attacks a woman (Diana) in a similar way?

Tozu Theater #2 - Jean Delamer

When thinking about them in relations to the students, this was an easy connection to make. This Theater delves into an interesting background with him building a ship and his “cream-colored hair” friend doing the same, and it ends with…

Doesn’t this sound like the Tozu’s strategy of making some blackmails vague in order to make students “pester each other” for information? Which presumably happened to Jean when Wolfgang confronted him about his blackmail, becoming a plot point in the Class Trial?

Tozu Theater #3 - Eva Tsunaka

This one was tough. Initially, I could only vaguely connect its setting to Eva’s school-based talent. Until realizing I overlooked it almost immediately due to its silly presentation… which is the core of Eva’s issues with her talent. So, I dug deeper and… well. Just take a look:

Re: All for the Game, I have a vision of an interaction that takes place a few months post-graduation, when Andrew is learning how to live by himself in a new city and is slowly learning that maybe some socialization is actually important to his health.

Honestly with the workload these kids be getting, what they are studying in school and just generally how they are treated. You really forget these kids are like 6 years old.

Anya is the only one that consistently acts her age and so she sometimes comes off as immature which is insane when you think about it they are all literally 6. This also works cause we can assume she is a year or 2 younger than the rest of her grade, still, even then it’s insane.

Which is why when the other kids actually start to show their age usually in situations of great emotion, the bus hijacking for one. Or even when the kids think one of them is going to have to leave because his family is now poor and they all rally around this kid they never even really spoke to, or when they literally think that some macaroons will make them smarter and help them pass the test. Or when they simply want to play outside.

it’s so jarring and you’re left being like oh right they're six, this isn’t normal. Six-year-olds shouldn't be put under this kind of pressure.

It's another neat little insight into just what kind of society these kids are living in. And a little bit of irony that Loid who wants to create a society where little kids don't have to cry anymore is on a mission that requires the infiltration of a school where little kids can't even be ones.
