#and it makes me So Sad

[thehallstara]

anyways happy pride to all my high risk queers out there, to all my disabled queers for whom events aren't accessible to, to my immunocompromised folks who can't risk attending events where people aren't masked or taking covid precautions! happy pride to my fellow cripqueers that want to be out there fighting and celebrating with their friends and family and can't because it's not safe for them to do so– you're not alone and you deserve to celebrate too. we all do.

Okay so I'm gonna ramble more about 'The Wild Robot': spoiler alert:

Brightbill was never supposed to come this far, he's what they call a runt, the odds were stacked against him from the beginning of his life. He got raised by Roz and became the odd man out, they bullied him, no one accepted him. All that happens and he starts internalizing that hate..

But then the importance of a support system is shown, because even as Brightbill wants to quit, Roz won't let him, and not only her but Fink and Thunderbolt start supporting him too:

This is so amazing, because what Brightbill has been led to believe is a disadvantage Thunderbolt lets him know it's not, that it's even beautiful.

Not only that but he compliments Brightbills wings after making him, not letting him, but making him show his wings off, rewiring his beliefs.

Then you have the way Longneck took him under his wing among all those bullies, and all he did was be gentle with him and believing in him, and they did an amazing job in showing how important that is, making Brightbill take the lead to get all the geese out.

What made me even more emotional is that this moment Roz tells him: "Remember, there's nothing he can do that you can't". We see him repeating the same thing later on

motivating the rest the same way his momma did...

"Fly like you, not like them". You may not be able to fly like them, but you can fly like you, and it might take a little longer and a little more work, but you'll get there.

Its so beautiful to see what wonders a support system does. What a beautiful movie to all the people who grew up or are living with disadvantages that slow their progress, this gives some hope, that Endurance is a mighty force, we'll get there eventually.

Sometimes I’ll be sad. But then I’ll remember that Deuteronomy 2:10 by The Mountain Goats exists - then I will become even more sad because that song is also very sad

Rewatching HTTYD 2 and RTTE made me realize how badly they fucked everyone over in HTTYD 3. Like. Did they just look at all their character development and go “Yeah, we can flush this down the drain”, or

I like old things. Old things means they've survived the test of time, they're still standing, or working, or fulfilling a purpose they've been made to do. I like old furniture, clothing, buildings, cutlery, pots and pans, mugs, anything old is immediately respected and beloved by me.

It also means no new resources had to be spent on making new things, because this old thing has done such a great job! It's made from resources created ages ago and still kicking, making those resources last a long time. It also means it's likely been made before the age of late capitalism, so it's likely made with heart; the quality is good, it was made to be practical and lasting, it's not going to fall apart easily, it's purpose wasn't to fulfill a need that didn't exist before the marketing team manufactured it. It's reliable, purposeful, protecting the environment and saving the new resources for as long as it lasts.

However, old things something can look a little ragged and worse for wear. They can make you seem like you can't 'afford' new things, which is terrible, to be viewed in this poor, moneyless manner. They are not made to fit aesthetic of every other item in the room, or in the environment. They don't fit the color scheme you have in the room, if your room has one. They remind you of the old times when you didn't have much of new stuff, and maybe that was a sad time for some people. Maybe they invoke pity in people who have learned to associate 'old things' with poverty.

But I don't care! I liked the old times when things were lasting, and practical, and nobody had much new things, so we had to invent ridiculous ways to play with our old stuff. I love seeing old things in use and knowing that nothing was wasted creating this, there's a tree growing somewhere that won't be cut to make a new one, there's plastic that won't need to be melted and molded and last a few years before it's dispersed into the environment. Old things being used helps the planet keep going so I love them regardless of their aesthetic or color scheme. When did it become so important for everything to look nice, instead of it being the best scenario for everyone's well being? Maybe I look a little scruffy but I know what I'm about. Impressing other people with the amount of new stuff that I could potentially have will never trump the satisfaction of me knowing that my old stuff is thriving together with the environment.

Every time I think about hugtto I get so upset because it had so much potential but they went and ruined it by making so many bad writing choices and I just wanna scream like. George going back in time and doing everything he did to try to prevent his wife’s untimely death. Ok, I can get behind that it’s an interesting motivation and makes him a little bit sympathetic. The wife being Hana??????????? Literally why. why was that necessary, and the fact that it was implied that they ended up together at the end of the series despite the fact that they showed that the George from Hana’s tl was already an adult while Hana was in middle school like, ick. Also homares crush on harry, like I genuinely think that could have been interesting had they done it right but they didn’t. At All. They focused on that more than her ice skating and harry never even flat out said no to her. Also I have no idea how old hagumi was originally but she definitely didn’t look like an adult so why was harry in love with her 🙃 and don’t get me wrong I love saaya but she was a forgettable character. Like Emiru and Lulu’s friendship was so sweet and I genuinely love that part of the show, but tbh the part I enjoyed the most was henri and masatos relationship like imo they were the best part of the show and when the side characters have a more interesting and cohesive story than the main characters, you’re doing something wrong

not to be the guy to compare two popular new netflix shows to each other, but y'know what? yeah, i am a little upset that wednesday is more popular than 1899. don't get me wrong, i don't hate wednesday, i did genuinely enjoy watching it, but 1899 changed me. it left me thinking about the story and the characters and the mystery. what we know, what we don't know, what's gonna happen. those are all things a good mystery show makes you think about. wednesday didn't make me think about any of that.

wednesday is a fine show. but i think it's getting all the extra hype that 1899 actually deserves.

plus 1899 has more languages and andreas pietschmann, so like-

guys...

the apostrophe has two jobs. Two.

Job 1) indicate that two words have been mushed together with a sound omission. these are called contractions. can't, won't, and shouldn't fall under this category.

Job 2) indicate that one thing owns another thing. this is the job of -'s (for one owner) or -s' (for multiple owners). The girl's ball (the ball that belongs to the girl). The girls' ball (the ball that belongs to a group of girls instead of just one girl).

the apostrophe does not indicate more than one.

This is a plural, and a plural only needs an -s or -es. Some special words get an internal shift, but you really do not need an apostrophe for plurals. You will confuse your audience.

The disciple's went to the back hills. <<<doesn't make sense. I'm expecting the disciples to own something here. When there's nothing for them to own, it takes me a minute to figure out what the heck you meant by writing this.

The disciple's bunnies went to the back hills. <<<<does make sense. The bunnies that belonged to one disciple went to the back hills. idk why, maybe they went on an adventure. However nonsensical the tale (or tail), the sentence itself makes sense, and I can visualize what's going on in my head.

The disciples went to the back hills. <<<<does make sense. the disciples went to the back hills. Not as fun as bunny adventures, but it makes sense.

Please do not overwork the poor apostrophe and give it more jobs than it currently has. The apostrophe has two (2) big jobs in English: contractions and possession. Let the plurals be free of apostrophes, I beg you.

You ever stand over your father’s grave in tears and have your mom try to use him to make you believe in her fairy tales??

Truly think we’ve hit a new low.

Unfuckingbelievable.🥺

My latest hyper-fixation is “Dial Drunk” by Noah Karan ft. Post Malone.

I’m not very good at long form story-telling but I have a MIGHTY NEED. And it is a might, mighty need.

We’ll see how this goes…
