#but not hereditary i guess

this district i'm applying to has schools very close to an amtrak station and i'm laughing at how wildly different my grandpa's and dad's reactions are to me wanting to take the train there

grandpa: wow that's great! amtrak is great! my friend would take business trips all the time to san jose on that route and it was very convenient for her. you should get a foldable bike. here's a link to a foldable bike that i recommend! the freeway is absolutely horrible, so i'm glad this is an option.

dad: um. i would rather drive. ((but it's cheaper and faster to take the train!)) yeah but idk... you have to sit next to other people... what if they're weird? :/

The phoenix hope can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune’s spite, revive from ashes and rise. — Miguel de Cervantes

17. Taking a step away from “canon”, do you have any wholly unique side quests and adventures your Warrior of Light has gotten caught up in? Did they chase down ghosts of their own past, get married, open a bakery, or fix an ancient blood curse on their family line? Have they reunited with loved ones or buried old hatchets? If there’s some unique story behind your character, how does it show up and how did it play out? (x)

After returning to the Source from the First, Corisande journeyed to the Bozjan Southern Front to aid the resistance in their effort at reclaiming their home. They had no idea they would find their mother there, already aiding the resistance as a scout. When Corisande left her village nearly 6 years ago, it was with the understanding she and Annika would likely not see each other again. But word of Corisande's feats as the Warrior of Light had made their way to their former village deep in the Golmore Jungle, and Annika, hearing of what her only child was doing, was not content to stay hidden in the forest when she could help (wonder where Corisande gets that from!). Neither of them could believe their eyes when they first saw each other, and are still overjoyed to be reunited.

some great Letterboxd horror movie reviews

[juniperhillpatient]

this is another really good (so far I haven’t finished yet) horror deep dive & I really like the analysis of Ari Aster’s worldview & how he does rebirth as an ambiguously awful but almost positive thing it’s so interesting

[zeldaspeaks]

In my opinion, the saddest movie that Ari Aster has made is Munchausen. Most of his films involve deeply upsetting, disturbing, and devastating events that the characters within them have to live through, but the majority of the resultant character responses are contextually understandable or even expected. Munchausen, however, presents the viewer with a fairly common scenario and gives it an ending that hurts so strongly because it's plausible, but not at all proportional to the events that led up to it.

A loving, devoted Mother wants to be her son's mom for just a little bit longer. She tries a subtle tactic that, as far as she knows, won't cause anyone major harm. Now she's not a mom anymore, and her baby is dead and gone forever.

Nobody does "Family Horror" like this guy.

Whew, this one took a while, dude carries a whole arsenal on himself. Argo is one of the characters I've had a lot of difficulty with consistency, but I think I'm getting better at it.

will never stop thinking about how sayu is the "defying expectations" type of gal, i.e, one who is meeting her and getting to know her would probably never expect her to listen to music like this...until they find themselves in a situation where they hear heavy metal blaring from her room.

i really wanna see ari aster’s new film but there arent any screenings near me, im so disappointed 😭

[mcmissileproof]

one thing I appreciate about my family is that they all understand that the correct number of pillows to have on a bed is A Million. half the time when I stay over somewhere there's like one or two set out and it sucks. I can't live like this. my family wouldn't do this to me I know there's gonna be 47 pillows on the guest bed

[goldensmilingbird]

Huh

[datadegroove]

like literally I think Kim Wexler is the dying breath of the female character who serves a necessary function in an overall story and is not there for the purpose of some kind of bizarre wish fulfillment dogshit on one side or the other, whether its the girls get it done brigade or the I hate my wife I want you to be perfect sex object brigade. and I cannot remember the last time I saw a woman character outside of the breaking bad story be that
