Doctor Who - Wild Blue Yonder - Visual Effects

[beginnerblueglass]

When Paul opens his eyes after Chani revives him, and instead of happy, relieved, triumphant music, the most terrifying, threatening, ominous sound plays over the scene.

Chills. Anxiety, even. A monster opening his eyes after a deep slumber. An ancient god awakening for the first time.

Wynn: We're gonna need weapons but we need you.

Neil: Yeah, because I can get knowledge

Wynn: We need you because you're fucking you, you jackass. You are a member of the coterie. A member of the family and you are dabbling in this shit. How can I protect you from this?

Okay but the way that Kit screamed when she got the throwing star in her arm (and I’ve gotta be clear that I am not judging here, I would have too) but it really does reinforce: she’s never been hurt, before this quest. Oh, cuts and scrapes and accidents that are the province of most childhoods, sure, but not this, not deliberate harm by someone who wants you dead. She’s never been in danger, she’s never been in a real fight, she’s never been hurt. And I like that they allowed her that real, human reaction. Because being stoic and calm when you’re injured is not a terribly common response (speaking from personal experience, as I’m not a doctor). It makes her feel grounded, as young woman leaving her comfort zone, helps you believe that she’s a princess stepping beyond the bounds of her kingdom for the first time, experiencing, learning, growing, feeling. Vulnerability is part of good characterisation and often gets left out to make way for flawless ‘coolness’. It gives her character depth and relatability and realness

Them……

[joyfulhottubstrawberry]

Actually unwell because of the good omens 2 final scene. The way you can see and feel that both Crowley and Aziraphale are doing this because they love eachother and just want to be together peacefully. The way neither of them understands what the other means. The way they are hurting eachother because they love eachother, but are just idiots who can't actually talk things out instead of assuming the worst. The so, so sweet and queer dilemma of either changing the oppressive system or running away from it and accepting that some things, especially those, rooted in violence and injustice, can't be changed. Once again, the queerness of it all. Going insane, actually.

Y’all, I just watched Dead Poets Society and I was not mentally prepared for this. I don’t know why, but I was really hoping it was gay lovers in a private school type of shit… NOPE. Suffice to say, I loved the movie, but I was not prepared to be this broken from it 😭😭😭

hhhhh finally watching mandalorian season 3 and the bo-katan character development coming out of left field?? her starting out the season so disillusioned and clearly broken by her failure to obtain the darksaber and magically unlock the ability to retake mandalore... and then in episode 2, the way she watches din— she's clearly come to respect him by this point.

bo-katan doesn't believe in much anymore- she doesn't believe in mandalore being redeemable, she doesn't believe in the creed, she doesn't believe in herself. the creed and what it means to be a mandalorian are just children's stories to her. in the way she recounts taking the creed as an entertainment-focused ceremony—vs the child in the previous episode, who was very clearly swearing an oath to live by. the creed is just for show to bo-katan, so of course she thinks din's Way is the product of a mindless zealot.

but in episode 2 you can see her watching him. slowly coming to understand that there's worth behind the Creed, that it is something to live by, honorable even. when she flippantly states how her father "was a great man" who died protecting mandalore, and din stops and bows to her, and says in somber grief "this is the Way", her facade visibly cracked.

this man before her is the living embodiment of the Creed, possibly like something out of her childhood storybooks. she clearly sees something in him that she had relegated to the stuff of myth.

she reads the touristy plaque at the Living Waters (which just goes to show how, as a society, the Way had been written off as a relic of the past) aloud with a tone that, again, sounds like something for storybooks. lofty and wistful. like she expects a rise out of din, anything from him agreeing with her that it's a pointless waste of time.

but din, the zealot knight determined to redeem himself, isn't even remotely fazed. if anything he's in awe of the place of legend he's finally found. it's not a dinky tourist trap to him. not at all. and bo-katan's expressions as he begins to recite his vow, words he clearly knows without a second thought? it almost looked like she was choking up. those little bubbles of elation you get at something grand.

i think this is more than just a story of din redeeming himself. it's bo-katan too. she went into the Waters as well, and i think she's going to find it in herself to redeem herself as a mandalorian—to be worthy of the throne in more than just title and sword (when she finally gets the darksaber lol)

hhhhhh i love character development and watching internal arcs like that

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes
