So, in order to get Kiryu’s trouble finder, I have to progress far enough into the real estate business story to meet a tax lady.
"A lady with a bob cut," she describes herself on the phone. It was only when we go outside to meet her that my brain goes, "ping". "Okay. That's... a Taxing Woman..."
That's what she immediately reminded me of: the movie "A Taxing Woman" (Marusa no Onna), directed by Juzo Itami, about a tax investigator trying to nab a love hotel owner for tax fraud. It's a very funny movie, one I haven't seen in decades, actually, but it made enough of an impact on me that I remembered it right away.
... but in the movie, she had sunglasses and freckles. Where...
Holy Fuck! There she is! The Taxing Woman!!!! *fangirls myself into a frenzy*

Marusa no Onna
In February of 1987, the movie Marusa no Onna (in English, A Taxing Woman), directed by Juzo Itami, was released in Japan. The movie portrays a National Tax Agency bureaucrat and her investigations into businesses doing tax evasion. With its great direction and satirical humor, it became a hit in Japan. It reached number four in distribution revenues among Japanese films for that year and dominated the 1987’s Japan Academy Film Prize, winning six out of seven of its major awards, including Best Work, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Capcom released Marusa no Onna in September 1989, being the company’s second game adaptation of a movie for the Famicom (the first was Willow, that same year). The film’s director, Juzo Itami, worked as a producer for the game. Kiyoshi Kurosawa, director known for his contributions to the Japanese horror movie scene, was also credited with helping with the project. Capcom regular Tokuro Fujiwara was the director. The three of them also worked together on the RPG Sweet Home, which was released just three months after Marusa no Onna. One of Sweet Home’s screenwriters, credited as PROBIT, also served as the sole screenwriter for Marusa no Onna’s game. Although Marusa no Onna remained largely forgotten throughout the years, Sweet Home went on to be recognized as a precursor of the survival horror genre and served as the main inspiration for Resident Evil.

Was searching for pictures to use in my favourite new viewings of 2022 post, and found this German DVD cover for A Taxing Woman. Needless to say it is not an accurate representation of the movie.
Me too, Nobuko Miyamoto. Me too.

Halenthir but none of the Finweans believe Haleth is real because they all assume Caranthir made up a spouse so he could leverage his marriage status for tax concessions. Caranthir is extremely mad about this. Haleth thinks it’s hilarious.
#silm#silmarillion#tolkien#halenthir#caranthir#haleth of the haladin#haleth#Haleth meets a Finwean who is like “haha my cousin Moryo says he’s married to an edain woman named Haleth”#Haleth immediately committing to the bit: it’s a very common name#“Your people say that you married a lord..?” “Oh yeah unfortunately he’s no longer with us”#Never mind that by no longer with us she means they’re doing long distance#I need you all to know. In my mind Haleth is dedicated to like two things#1: her people#2: the bit#I think Caranthir would eventually find this funny but only after he manages to re-leverage the situation for more tax concessions

sometime in the past few decades movies stopped being movies
whatever happened to throwing a dart at a board and coming up with the most random plots that no one else could ever think of? what happened to weird kids and disgraced scientists needing to come up with 1.21 jig-o-wots (not how it's pronounced btw) to power their time machines? what happened to saving a town by dancing? what happened to stealing the declaration of independence? what happened to dinosaur fossils and wax mannequins coming to life? what happened to towns of anthropomorphic chickens being attacked by aliens in want of acorns? what happened to mean girls getting hit by a bus while storming out of a school left in shambles by teen drama?
what happened to cinema?
#ok obviously we still have great movies now#i mean just think about 'a mom does her taxes but then becomes the savior of the multiverse'#or 'doll learns she is an independent woman while male counterpart sings matchbox 20"#but come on guys they dont make them like they used to#film#hollywood#back to the future#footloose#national treasure#night at the museum#chicken little#mean girls#everything everywhere all at once#barbie

Please hear me out everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community, the Democrats and wider society has failed us time and time again so I must ask one question. Why must we stay polite and civil in the futile pursuit of acceptance, we are only damming ourselves by denying radical action and revolution. No matter what we do or what we say we will be demonized so we shouldn't restrain ourselves, we must organize ourselves not just socially but also physically in the form of collective self defense. Form queer gun clubs and or other self defense organizations, we cannot rely on the heteronormative patriarchal democracy to keep us safe or sound at all. Believe me I wanted to trust the Democrats but I was burned and now I've learned my lesson, it's imperative to stop trusting them before we all get burnt alive instead of just getting burnt!
Intersectionality is also paramount as well since oppression doesn't affect just us but many others as well, reach out to POC, disabled people, and women so that we aren't alone in this struggle. Please we can't give up comrades, instead of moderation embrace radicalization push yourself further left instead of trying to go right.

finding out ur coworker is way older than you thought and having to very quickly reorient how you talk to them
#art#traditional art#watercolour#fanart#synthv#synthesizer v#genbu#kasane teto#rikka is also here :) i think she likes to cause problems sometimes. because all the adults in her life are dweebs#and very easy to cause problems with <3#anyone else have this happen before. im older than a lot of my university peers and i always have been#because i took 5 years in highschool and my undergrad has been like 6 years and counting#(hashtag learning disability <3 ) and like thats chill to me i dont mind#but now i usually assume everyones way younger than me and i get shocked when theyre not. a buddy in some of my classes#when i first met her i absolutely and completely assumed she was like barely 19 and talked to her as such#like i dont talk down to people or anything but i do soften the way i talk a bit and give a bit extra patience with younger peers#cause yknow. i remember what it was like being 19. being 26 is WAY easier lol so i wanna give em a bit of leeway yknow#anyway a few months after meeting her i found out she was actually a year older than me and a grad student when she ended up as a TA in#another class i took. i felt so bad. we bonded tho and she didnt mind she thought it was kinda funny when i was like WAIT UR A GRAD STUDENT#i thought she was like a first or second year undergrad..............#also yeah im a 31yo teto fan. i dont mind the popular fanon that she has a separate age that makes her actually 15 and#i dont mind that more interpretations have her like that BUT for my internal canon she is a grown ass woman because i think its fun <3#she pays taxes. she goes to work parties. she can rent a car. i love it#let teto rent a car. let her rent a car.#yknow im exicted to be 31. i still got a few more years of being a 20 something which is fun. but being a 30 something sounds like it rules
