I watched Imaginary on Vudu over the weekend since I love DeWanda Wise and I already knew the imaginary friend manifests as a hulking bear monster, so that was all I needed to be interested.

And sure enough, the monster suit rules.

The movie is...fine. I didn't expect much, so I think I liked it more than most, but it's pretty standard with a cool monster (and a second one I did not expect) to elevate slightly.

However, I feel sure the filmmakers must have also seen Mario Bava's Shock at some point and, like myself as a teenager with big horror movie dreams, went:

"I have got to rip off that jump scare!"

If you have seen the Bava film, you know exactly the one I mean.

Amidst all the excitement for Veilguard there is one thought that keeps creeping in.

Where are Xenon and Chauncey?

Are they alive? Are they okay?

I need answers.

I'm sorry but what Year is it supposed to be Exactly Again?

Year of the Dragon? More like the Year where Imagination Friends run Wild.

So I recently finally saw "IF" just like on how that I've watched Other Imaginary Friends Films like "The Imaginary" & "Imaginary" (might be too similar with the Titles but one puts Another Word in front of it).

Ok, technically The Imaginary (which is based off of a Book) is an Anime Movie from 2023 but Netflix dubbed it on English this Year so I guess you could at least say that this Anime Movie does count within the Year (at least...The English Dub only anyway).

Anyway, because this Year has been recently a Movie Year for Films about Imaginary Friends, similar to how that 2022 was the Year for Pinocchio Adaptations (You got the Goat, The Foreign, & The Bad One), I'd figure why not try the Holy Trinity of This Year's Imagination Films with an Unlikely Trio (Rudger from "The Imaginary", Blue from "IF", & even Chauncey from "Imaginary").

While IF and The Imaginary succeeded despite having Mixed Reviews, Imaginary on the Other Hand didn't. But that's not gonna stop from drawing Three Movies within the Same Common Trope of Fantasy.

I could've had at least drawn Chauncey in his Monstrous Form but because it was too unbearable (get it?) to draw, I've decided to draw his Teddy Bear form just because it's too easier but I also had to make his face be expressional to lighten' up the Mood.

Even if he might be an Evil Deity, I wouldn't be surprise if he could change expressions in his Plushie form.

I also don't really like the way that I did with Blue's eyes as it looked kinda cringey (which I humbly apologized for that XP).

BTW, in case if you are deeply unaware about the "Third" Imagination Friends Movie if you're one of the Few who have seen either the Former or the Latter (or just Both). If you have Netflix, please consider giving "The Imaginary" a try, it is deeply Beautiful, Heartwarming, & More Depth with so much Emotion compare to IF.

[grison-in-space]

wondering about whether you could rec some "romance is a social construct" texts? ofc it is, but i like having books and articles to reference/learn specifics from/see how these ideas have developed.

Sure! Here's a quick reading list. Bear in mind that I am not a professional historian and my reading on this subject is a little diffuse. I'm not tackling the behavioral ecology stuff right now because a) I don't have a more direct book rec off the top of my head than Evolution's Rainbow, which is not technically focused on social monogamy, and also b) I approach that whole field with my eyes wide open for people letting their own perspectives and cultural views get in the way of their observations of animals, and I do not have the energy to go deal with it right now.

If you're going to read two books, read these two:

Stephanie Coontz, Marriage, A History: how love conquered marriage. 2006. All of Coontz' work, having to do with the social construction of the family, is relevant reading to this question (and I'd also recommend The Nostalgia Trap, because the historical context of how we conceptualize families is a major part of the construction of romantic love), but this one is most focused on the social construction of romantic love specifically and what it has replaced. Coontz is, I will disclose cheerfully, a major formative influence on my thinking.

Moira Wegel, Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating. 2016. Exactly what it says on the tin; focuses more closely on the modern invention of dating and romance.

Other useful readings to help inform your understanding of different ways that various people have conceptualized sex, sexuality, society and long-term connection include:

George Chauncey, Why Marriage? 2015. Chauncey is best known for Gay New York, which also offers a useful history of the way that relationship models and social constructs for understanding homosexuality changed among men having sex with men c. 1900 to 1950. This book, published just before Obergefell v. Hodges, is a discussion of why contemporary queer rights organizations focused on same-sex marriage as an activism plank in the wake of AIDS organizing. I find it really useful to read queer history when I'm thinking about how we understand and construct the concept of romantic relationships, because queers complicate the mainstream, heteronormative concepts of what marriage and romantic relationships actually are. More importantly, queer activist organizing around marriage has played a major role in shaping our collective understanding of romance and marriage in the past twenty years.

Elizabeth Abbott, A History of Celibacy, 2000. In order to understand how various cultures construct understandings of marriage and spousal relationships, it can be illustrative to consider what the people who are explicitly not participating in the institution are doing and why not. I found this an interesting pass over historical and social institutions that forbid (or forbade) marriage with a discussion about general trends driving these institutions, individuals, and movements towards celibacy.

Eleanor Janega, The Once and Future Sex, 2023. This is a very pointed historical look at gender roles, concepts of beauty, and concepts of sex, attraction, and marriage among medieval Europeans with an extended meditation on what ideas have and have not changed between that time and today. I include this work because I think a deep dive into medieval notions of courtly romance is useful, partly because it is an important origin of our modern notion of romantic love and partly because it is so usefully and starkly different from that modern notion! Sometimes the best way to understand the cultural construction of ideas in your own society is to go look at someone else's and see where things are the same versus different.

It's a mish-mash of recommendations, and I'm reaching more for books that have stuck with me over the years than a clean scholarly approach to the subject. I hope other folks will chime in for you with their own recommendations!
