I just realized if I want to write about Oppenheimer for my final paper for my west class I probably have to rewatch it and it is So Damn Long. I’m also writing about it in comparison to a production I saw of Doctor atomic (the Oppenheimer opera (yes there’s an Oppenheimer opera)) but that will be a little bit easier bc I’m pretty sure no footage exists of that production so like at least I don’t have to rewatch that
#if curious the class is like. stories about the American west#and it’s fantastic.#one of the best I’ve ever taken#I was this close to writing about breaking bad for my final lowkey but I don’t have a Thesis#and I do have a Thesis here which is that Oppenheimer sucks#well. more. I want to look at how the movie Oppenheimer uses tropes of westerns#like. the single figure of an empty west reshaping the world#and the like the attraction of that as a story#and the thing is that it just like. is not fucking true#where they were resting wasn’t empty there were people within a couple of miles of where they tested#*testing#and they made a conscious decision to test anyway bc they decided that they couldn’t risk breaking secrecy#and that is NOT in the movie#and I think a lot of discourse I’ve seen about the movie about whether it glamourizes Oppenheimer or not#is kinda informed by that#bc my take on it is like I don’t think it’s depicting oppenheimer as a good person#but it is still depicting him as a story#like his guilt and experiences are very abstract and Greek tragedyesque promethean whatever whatever#it examines things in grand arcs and asks the question of to what degree he is complicit#but doesn’t show that conversation#doesn’t show anything beyond the very abstract#whereas the opera though it is hella stylized due to genre#when possible it draws from the historical record and uses the actual things people said#however it also recognizes that like there’s a lot that didn’t make it into the historical record and tries to fill those gaps#like. not perfect still and like while I think the opera did better there’s still much to be said for like. accessibility esp#anyway that’s the essay outline I was procrastinating it by posting but I think that’s basically the outline right there

the sandra lynn / fig conversation is driving me Insane. fig saying that sometimes she doesn’t wanna exist as herself at all…not wanting to ask her friends how they see her (because she’s afraid to hear their response) saying that to someone she is a monster and she Cannot stop thinking about it. sandra lynn starting the conversation saying she needs to step up but is also simultaneously taken aback about what fig expresses and doesn’t know how to responds to it and suggests getting ice cream. sandra lynn saying “convincing people they deserve good things is really tough” talking about herself but how it also reflects fig. insane!!
#if that conversation had kept going I would have started bawling!!#fully believe brennan was like ‘well oh shit this is getting dark and heavy quick let’s uh get some snow cones’#I will say I think Emily does a beautiful job here of showing teenage life#not a universal experience perhaps but definitely a common one#feeling so lost and insecure in who you are and under so much pressure to be a certain way#and her saying she doesn’t wanna exist#vs me resonating with ‘I don’t wanna die sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all’ lyrics#it was hard to watch ngl but it’s also bc Emily does Such a good job w emotional scenes!!#that woman is so emotionally invested you get emotional invested as well#if Emily axford cries I cry with her#and loved to see more of Sandra Lynn again <3#damn good scene#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high spoilers#fantasy high junior year#fig faeth#sandra lynn faeth#emily axford#brennan lee mulligan

you are umasou
#I watched it today it was so good#im not big on dinosaur stuff but i like how it was used to approach the predator/prey conversation especially when both sides are sentient#instead of just defaulting to well since predators are meat eaters their actions are automatically immoral so their role in the story#has to match. and then when your characters /are/ meat eaters you just step around that whole topic#heart knows he has to kill and eat so there’s no avoiding it but even he knows he has agency over that#hell he even decided to hunt by himself so umasou doesn’t have to see him kill and eat another dinosaur a day after meeting him#and maybe its because it’s a kids movie but it also doesn’t make a big show over the act of hunting and eating. it doesn’t dwell on it#like yes you can clearly see them ripping into guts minus the graphic details but it doesnt go out of its way to censor it either#its played straight just like hearts mom having more kids like nobody asks who the father is or when that happened cuz it doesn’t matter#what matters is she still loves heart and encourages her kids to greet their big brother and they do!!! it’s sweet#Beckon was also an interesting touch bc they make it clear the only reason he doesnt eat umasou is bc he cant and not that he wouldn’t#but he’s still a funny and interesting character and that doesn’t get in the way of how we see him too much#same for baku he was pretty polite with heart esp from the start when he asks him if hes abandoned implying he would be prepared to#look out for him from the start. and at the end when he decides to spare him. I dont hate him at all hes just intimidating#you are umasou#doodles#I wanted to draw smth more detailed but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go with the cartoony art style#or smth closer to realistic?? so this is like. some sort of compromise I guess

reading xie lian’s POV is actually hilarious once you realise xie lian isn’t oblivious at all, he basically guesses most things immediately, he’s just taken the veteran autism tactic of “it’s too much effort to figure out when it’s appropriate to mention that i know something, so i’ll just pretend i don’t know until someone says it aloud”. sometimes it turns into a bit. the truth might be embarrassingly obvious, but social cues are hard, and xie lian has infinite time to wait for the other person to blink first.
#tgcf#autistic xie lian#xianxia jesus#meta stuff#like. he knows. for a great many things he knows instantly#and acts like he knows#but he’s not going to be the first to acknowledge it#because as an Autistic he has no sense of scale whether he has like. reasonable ground to say things.#like he’s old enough that i’m sure he could figure it out if he tried#but he’s tired he prefers to wait#like he knew who hua cheng was from the second he got on the ox cart#that’s why he baited hua cheng into the conversation#and hua cheng also knew this that’s why he let himself be drawn in#like. they’re 800 year old gods they know this#but also xie lian is like. is it rude to call him out. i have no idea.#so he kind of pokes around for evidence that would give him an excuse to admit he knows it’s hua cheng#but then when fengqing show up it’s funnier to pretend he doesn’t know#like. never say that xie lian isn’t committed to the bit in his old age

Y’all are aware we probably have to keep it in the top 10 overall into at least the 19th right? One business day after initial intended marketed advertised release supposedly. Then we should be good unless Mark says otherwise.
#don’t count your chickens before they hatch this is amazon we need to keep up the momentum since it’s already started#despite what public platforms and Mark says that this isn’t malicious I’m not buying it I think it was intended#industries actively don’t want indie people succeeding usually and they’ll pull stunts like this easily#or I should say industry execs to be specific and CEOs probably#wouldn’t want to have to start paying a bunch of indie creators fair pay when you can underpay already known companies and brand employees#but there’s a deeper conversation to be had about that in a different day and post and I’m not well educated on it#I hope Markiplier iron lung doesn’t get stuck in production limbo please fingers crossed we make this happen#this really is exposing how scummy the film industry can be thou which is a fascinating look into how bad stuff is#anyway go watch edge of sleep legally if you can!#idk any sites to watch it otherwise atm for people region locked out who wanna talk about it to help support the show#mine#op#the edge of sleep#teos

10 year old Dick Grayson: Why does B call you daddy? Are you Alfred’s boyfriend?
Clark: I think it’s best if we don’t talk for a while.
#superbat#dick grayson#bruce wayne#clark kent#alfred pennyworth#i want to clarify that bruce would NEVER call clark daddy in front of dick#dick is just sneaky#and wants to hear bruce’s private conversations#he doesn’t really understand the way bruce shows romantic affection yet#bruce wayne x clark kent#batman x superman#batman#superman

sorry i’m on my bullshit again but i CANNOT imagine taking the line “i loved him” —past tense lol—and making that the basis of proof for my endgame ship.
like yeah “loved him more than i will ever love anything” blah blah. she’s clearly saying it in an extremely emotional moment trying to appeal to her friend who also loved someone a lot. (not to mention dawn the sister she sacrificed herself for instead of put a sword through to save the world is RIGHT THERE.)
still past tense! still “loved” as in not love presently.
still ends her own story saying “i love you” —meaning actively right now loves— someone else directly to his face.
#spuffy#anti angel#anti bangel#anti cookie dough#i fr don’t usually need to even mention ang*l in in spuffy conversations#because it’s unnecessary#buffy loves spike#period it’s right there she said it she showed it#but this just kind of Gets to me#talking about the wild out of control love you experienced as an emotional hormonal teen just… doesn’t mean much about your adult life#fortunately buffy is allowed to and able to move on from the boyfriend who broke up with her when she was still in high school#i think she’ll always have some amount of love for him#(mostly because she does NOT know the real him and so much hidden info would change how she see him if she was shown the truth)#but she is not beholden to the destiny narrative angel creates entirely on his own

it is so funny to me that kuukou and hitoya default into the same pose lmao
#this is vee speaking#was missing ghost kuukou last night and wound up watching that story again lmao#the movement and posing in the game makes me giggle for a lot of reasons lol but#them putting thought into individual quirks is one of those reasons lol#like jyushi’s default png pose is also his default pose in game#and it’s so funny to watch his height shrink significantly bc he’s bending his back like that LOL 😭😭😭#ghost kuukou in particular has this head tapping motion that kuukou himself doesn’t and it’s so cute and it makes me cry#like that’s HIS humanising quirk that��s HIS OWN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#there’s a conversation to be had i think about what data the ghosts are pulling from and what that means for the character#like rio and gentaro’s stories in particular show them disagreeing with their ghosts#bc they’ve experienced something that directly contradicts the conclusion the ghosts came to#so if the ghosts don’t have the experiences (memories like the memory cards HAHA) that led their originals down their paths#are the ghosts technically a base version of their originals???? is what i’ve been wondering lol 🤔#conversation for a different day tho 😌

Geek Girl just hits different when you grew up undiagnosed autistic and got bullied for it
Like oooh I see parts of myself in such a kind and caring light and it feels cathartic it feels healing
#like here is an undiagnosed autistic teenager who is bullied for it and just oh the way it is shown#she’s not punished for the bullying#and never once is she forced into masking#she doesn’t understand why she’s different the way she is bc she doesn’t know she’s autistic#but she still identifies someone else who is ‘like her’ in that way#and gets to have a supportive connection and a healing conversation with him#jaxy babbles#geek girl#geek girl show#Harriet Manners#she gets to infodump all the time!#and the show doesn’t show it in like a negative way!#yes it shows that’s she’s awkward but it’s not like an ‘ew’ thing it’s not rejecting#it’s going ‘actually what she’s saying is interesting’ and ‘taking the time to understand her and care for her is worthwhile’#anyways I’m a lil obsessed

Reading MW takes on Twitter is like reading a summary of the Bible from someone who only watched like a Family Guy family special about it
#did we play the same game? did we see the same themes yes themes as in plural#like my god get off ur fucking high horses or stop trying to make a unique theory just to be unique#like if it clearly doesn’t fit the plot it causes unnecessary arguments#people are weird and weirdly obsessed with making like the issues in the game solely interpersonal when it is clearly very institutional#with everything we learn about PE and how hard they make it to seek justice or safety#and ur treating it like the average person is a horrible troll monster#when the game really tries to show you how humans people become bad or can be enabled to do their worse through many different ways#but go ahead make it seem like all the men are like willingly Jimmy’s goon squad of predator enablers pls pls pls just look from another#view point I’m begging yall sometimes it’s good to leave those echo chambers#like taking parts of conversations out of context to make characters look better or worse is literally a tactic Jimmy uses ur using Jimmy#tactics to prove ur point dummy head#side tag tangent I am also very annoyed with how many people really do think Curly could’ve just had changes made to the ship during the#travel like a big point is that they barely had resources to just survive regularly#other than random scrap and wires for serious repairs they def didn’t just have locks laying about nor are the doors outside of medical and#the cockpit are suited to install locks like the whole point of the illusion of choice#is that at the end the options presented were never gonna be viable whether it was because of the time needed to execute them the standards#they were under or their lack of resources all mainly caused by PE no matter how much Curly#wanted to do something there’s very little he could’ve#even the ideas posed we have would have only happened after the assault and done little to actually stop the crash when you think about it#and it’s sad and sounds weird but that’s the case#mouthwashing

If fakir succeeds in turning duck human what the FUCK does that look like from charon’s perspective like.
Your son brings home a fully naked woman who’s now dripping pond water all over your floor. She has no home no family no possessions she doesn’t even own CLOTHES. You swear you’ve never met this woman before but something about her is vaguely familiar? Your son is talking to her like he’s known her all his life. Cherry on the fucking cake she has the same name as your son’s duck that he adores. You’re never going to see that goddamn duck again.
#LIKE#it’s soooo funny#like assuming he doesn’t remember any of the supernatural shit#whatever he thinks is going on it’s SO MUCH WEIRDER#girl named Duck shows up as the pet duck disappears#but never in a million years are you like ah yes my son has been crane wifing it this whole time#I feel like in most post canon fan content I see she moves in with them#BUT HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT CONVERSATION#princess tutu

Dick: Look. I know why you’re here. You don’t want Bludhaven’s problems spreading into your precious Gotham. And you don’t trust me to contain this. But the Haven is my personal crusade. Just like Gotham is yours. And I’ve been doing all right so far.
Bruce: I never means to intrude. I’m surprised to hear you talk about Gotham that way.
Dick: it’s not my hometown. I was born in a trailer by the big top. I never really had a hometown. Until now.
Bruce: I didn’t know you felt like that. But I understand. Well. That’s it then.
Dick: Damn.
Nightwing Vol.2. #14
#dick and Bruce#god it’s like they’re having three different conversations and neither of them hear what the other is saying#like Bruce just popped up to solve a crime with you babe#what if he just wanted to spend time with his son the way you two have always spent time together 😭#and what if Bruce thinks dick is rejecting Bruce as a father and the manor as being his home because he said Gotham wasn’t his hometown#because I know dick doesn’t want to screw up in front of Bruce and have Bruce trust him to handle himself so Bruce showing up feels is#like a slap to the face#and he’s saying that#but it SOUNDS like he’s kicking Bruce out of the haven rejecting Gotham as a place of any significance to him#while Bruce sounds like he’s saying he’s surprised to hear dick talk about Gotham like he resents it for being what matters to Bruce#and that he understands why dick doesn’t consider Gotham a home regardless#no doubt as a call back to what he said to dick in prodigal and about not having the right to ask dick for anything because of how he#screwed up with him#they would rip their own hearts out for eachother and break through their rib cages to get to it but still struggle with this#dick grayson#nightwing#dc#nightwing comics#I’m so ill about them#I need to translate this conversation as what they mean vs what the other hears#it’s tragic#Lonely dick

Hey guys why the fuck did that thing know about Kingers wife. “How’s your wife Kinger” WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU KNOW HER
Usually I’d go off on a tangent about how the circus must monitor them in some way and PURPOSEFULLY chose that as the thing that would hurt (or punish) him most in that moment but I have learned by this point that none of it will mean anything mechanically and will not be touched on again; it’s all just symbolism. Which is great, however I’m dying now
#tadc#tadc kinger#ao3 writer#kinger#queenie x kinger#the amazing digital circus#I’m dying now because I was in it for the mechanisms and digital stuff in the first place as#y’know#a bigger part of the story#but see this is why I’m making mechanisms of my own which are unrelated to this conversation#we pushed him off a cliff that doesn’t have to be symbolism#even though it. Is#anyway#this show still has 2.7 episodes in my mind#I’m still mad about the ep 4 trailer gaslighting me with that fucking meat freezer…

reblog for a larger sample size, please! I’ll be posting the results at the end of the week
#inspired by a conversation I was just having with someone#numbers don’t really matter but since tumblr doesn’t show them it makes me painfully curious on the follower demographics on this site#and ESPECIALLY in this community#it also shows (in a way) how much of the community is active#whump community#whumplr#whump

Okay, I know we've talked a lot about Eddie FaceTiming Buck (after he calls Chris and also for no apparent reason given to us) but that scene also shows us that Eddie always calls his parents before he talks to Chris. Like he has to get their permission or something to call him. And I feel like it's telling that he calls them first instead of just calling Chris (except seemingly the one time in 8×08, when Chris is almost immediately called away by his grandparents). Like not only does it seem like Helena and Ramon are working actively working against Eddie and Chris reconnecting and fixing their issues, it seems like up until this point Eddie has somewhat let them, like he thinks it's for the best.
The FaceTime scene just hurts in different ways every time I see it.
#the diaz parents are just frustrating me so much#like it should not be at the point where Eddie knows nothing about Chris's life#clearly in the conversation Chris doesn't want to hide it from him#so they are the ones choosing not to tell Eddie anything about it#except Helena telling Eddie how much he still likes swimming and how they might install a pool because of it#like they'll only tell him things if they'll hurt him#like at this point so much of this feels like its being worsened by them#when they should be at least helping to mediate between Eddie and Chris if Chris didn't want any contact with Eddie#which doesn’t even fully seem to be the case#clearly he's still mad but he himself doesn’t seem to want to cut him off quite as much#i just feel like Eddie and Chris are not communicating well with each other because they think they know what the other wants#but in reality Helena and Ramon are just leading both of them to think the other doesn't want what they do#i could write so much about this#and i will in some fics#911#eddie diaz#christopher diaz#911 show#911 spoilers#helena diaz#ramon diaz#911 8×08#buddie#(sorta)
