It's easy to get the impression that Tetsuji never cared enough to rein in Riko's behaviour and temper but I think it's the opposite. I think Riko grew up constantly being told stuff like, "You have to learn to control your temper" and, "Is that any way to behave?" by Tetsuji. I think Tetsuji would have even disciplined him harshly every time he was caught acting out of anger. But all that is coming from Tetsuji - the man who would beat a kid if they displeased him in any way. How can you ever really take to heart the words of someone who demonstrates the exact opposite of what they preach? How are you supposed to not learn that the real lesson is, "Become the one who has all the power over everyone else and you will never have to suffer criticism for how you behave ever again."

My aunt was kind enough to gift me the Persian Tiles Throw kit from Mary Maxim.

I've never used anything from the brand before, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the yarn and the pattern!

Y'all know I don't like using acrylic, but I'm making an exception because this pattern is so striking, and I love crocheting afghans.

generally i'm still pretty anti-singing live for movie musicals just bc filming schedules are generally so gruelling that even pro theatre performers would find it grueling however. the stark difference in quality between les mis and wicked actually so insane.

The Process ✨

[lesbiancolumbo]

So I did not like The Substance but people seem to be so determined to be dumb about it. Elizabeth is young and old, but the young self wants more time to be young, which has adverse effects on the older self, and eventually the obsession over youth and the reality of old age merge into something grotesque which cannot be hidden anymore. It's very obviously a parable about the beauty industry and how one person's life -here side by side to create narrative and done through horror conventions- can be destroyed by trying to stall time. Listened to a podcast about it where the first thing the two hosts ask is Where they really the same person? and talk for the first few minutes about how unclear it is wether they're the same or not. Then later one of them says she might be giving the film a generous reading.

thank you for being perhaps the first normal person in my inbox about this. i've never at any time stated that people have to like the substance (like, it's fine!). it's that the most vocal haters of it are seemingly going out of their way to deliberately misunderstand/be obtuse/be fucking stupid about it is what's compelling me to call out the double standards/bullshit, not that a minority of people aren't liking it. i honestly expected more people to find it polarizing! it's VERY polarizing. but it's NOT, at any point, hard to understand. one critic who i really do respect (or i did anyway lol) as a writer literally said that bc this film 'felt' surface level to her she was going to approach the analysis from a surface level also. and then proceeded to be like these are clearly two different people. girl you FAILED step one. anyway i would have turned that podcast off within minutes lol. but i also am the first person to just turn off a podcast the minute the analysis goes to a place that i find fucking idiotic, which is why i do NOT listen to many movie podcasts!

lollllllll, get his ass!!!!!!!

as someone who is already dreading having to deal with the one film podcast that i do listen to having to jerk off megaflop and "idk it just felt off to me! somehow!" handwave the substance in their end of the year coverage i am tired.

imagine watching the substance and then discussing/critiquing the substance and saying with your open fucking mouth "beauty is what we can control" congrats you failed step one. go directly to movie jail. do not pass go. do not collect $200.

As an anon a few days ago reminded me, Tbhtbh is having its second anniversary today!

And I wanted to do a lil something for that. But I didn’t. Except I did.

So have this shading test of a wip I’m working on, which will hopefully be done this weekend so we can all pretend that THAT is the actual date and I’m not late at all.

It is not classist that Jason, a vigilante in a *family of vigilantes*, is violent like the rest | just | because he comes from a poor family

What's (more likely) classist is writers thinking he needs to be taught right vs wrong from Bruce and co and that he consequently makes snap judgments out of some childish grudge-fueled rebellion which makes him dangerous the way a toddler holding a knife is dangerous

Finished watching Kaos, it was a really fun and creative (and queer, as it should be) take on greek myths. I really like that they didn't stick to simply retelling the myths, but instead they made them into new stories and weaved them all into a larger narrative. I would have loved to watch a second season if there ever was one.

Now, I wouldn't be saying anything new if I said fuck Netflix for cancelling such a good show, but I will say FUCK NETFLIX, because I wouldn't have even heard about this show if I didn't scroll down to the comments on a video complaining about their business model. Kaos came out two months ago, and by the time I heard about it, it's already been cancelled.

So yeah. Fuck Netflix.

The Nesting (Massacre Mansion, 1981)

"It may come as a surprise to you that a physicist could even contemplate the existence of paranormal phenomena."

"But you admit to the possibility."

"I admit the possibility of the unknown. I admit that science is only beginning to understand its own discoveries. But I do not believe in evil spirits or painted phantoms in windows."
