[non-un-topo]

So I was right I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Infinity Pool. Wish every movie was this weird and fucked up. I wonder how this one will affect my writing this time...

You were sat at the dining table in your apartment, tapping away at the keyboard of your MacBook when you heard your front door click. Your large dog immediately started barking at the noise, standing up from his resting spot beside your chair to check the front door for you. "Babe?" You called out, only bothering to pull your eyes from the screen in front of you when you heard the familiar cooing at your dog.

"What up, Cheif? Y'been keeping your mama safe?" You heard the baby voice echo through your house, causing you to stand up and walk to your secluded entrance a few feet from you.

You furrowed your brows at the sight; Matt scratching at the long, black and white fur of your large Borzoi as he laid on the ground for him, kicking one leg at the happy feeling. "You're supposed to keep intruders away, Cheif, not attract them," You told your dog, unamused as Matt looked up at you with a chuckle. "What're you doing here?"

Matt shrugged, giving Cheif one last scratch under his long snout before he stood up to meet your level, "I'm not allowed to see you?" He asked innocently, turning to kick his shoes off.

"Not without a text," You replied, annoyed by his lack of common sense, "What if my boyfriend was with me?"

"We're friends, right?"

You gave him a small scoff, "You know where I hide the spare key to my front door."

"Everyone hides their keys under the welcome mat." He then walked past you, Cheif standing back up as Matt rounded the corner into your kitchen, where he noticed your laptop sitting on the dining table from behind your counter, "How long have you been working anyway? Your boyfriend posted a pic at some party, like, twenty minutes ago," Matt added, turning to look at both you and Cheif, seeing as the two of you had followed him.

"Is he?" You asked, surprised by the information as you lifted your phone off the counter behind Matt to check the time. "Well shit, I knew Jake invited him to a party at eight, but I didn't expect eight to come so soon," You sighed, leaning back to rest against your counter beside Matt.

Matt only nodded, a silence falling over the two of you. It wasn't awkward though. In fact, quite the opposite. Neither of you were big talkers, so you were used to a lot of staring whenever you two got together. Still, it didn't take long for Matt to place his hand over yours, caressing the back of it with his thumb.

You glanced down before looking to his blue eyes with a shy smile, "I wanted to see you 'cause- I dunno, I've been stressed these past few days," Matt finally said, turning so that he was now trapping you between his body and your counters.

━★

Matt's ringed fingers gripped the top of your thighs as he lowered you onto him, your knees on either side of his head. He started at a slow pace, his tongue dipping into your folds to gather some of your salty-sweet slick before he pulled it back in, savoring his first taste of the night. "Perfect," He mumbled.

Your hands held onto the top of your headboard as you looked between your legs at his dark curls, allowing Matt to take his time. His tongue left his mouth again, making contact with your clit. You began rocking your hips slowly, on his tongue, causing his lips to attach to the sensitive bud. "Shit," You hissed when your hips stuttered on his face, picking up your pace when Matt flattened his tongue.

It didn't take long for the slow face riding to turn into bed-rocking pussy eating. Matt's grip on your thighs had tightened as your pace quickened, his wet muscle slurping vigorously at your juices. You panted at the feeling of your bud rubbing against his sharp nose, the knot forming in your stomach indicated you were close as you moaned out his name.

The noises you made had Matt groaning from beneath you, sending vibrations through your pussy. Your hips began stuttering again, this time not stopping as your forced yourself to continue rocking, "Close," You whined, "So close."

"Do it," Matt replied huskily before greedily going back to devouring your cunt like a man starved. A string of moans left your mouth at his words, riding out your orgasm on his pretty faces. Matt's tongue slipped into your entrance to gather your cum, a loud slurping sound coming from between your legs when he pulled his tongue back out.

Assuming he was done, you went to lift your trembling body off of him, but no. Matt's tongue eagerly reattached to your clit, sucking harshly to deter you from getting off of him, "Matt," You whined, shock in your voices as his lips on your sensitive bud made your body jolt. Matt wrapped his arms around your thighs, locking you in place as he ate you like you were his last meal.

"Keep rocking," Matt finally said, wasting no time in flattening his tongue to let you ride it.

Reluctantly, you did as he said, rolling your hips on his face and fuck could he stay there forever. Your sweet cunt almost suffocated him, but he didn't care. He needed to keep you in his mouth, at least for a little while longer.

It didn't take long for you to start blabbing out cumming again, your mind buzzing with overstimulation. "Matt, I- Please, no more," You pleaded through your orgasm, much to Matt's dismay. He licked you through the high once more, his grip loosening when he felt you go limp on top of him.

Matt then lifted you of his face and laid your back down on your mattress. He slowly sat up, licking his lips for even just a taste of any remaining cum before looking at you beside him. With a dissatisfied sigh, Matt stood off of your bed, patting down his shirt.

You look at him through your lashes, forcing yourself up off of your pillow, "Matt," You called to him, though he was only a few feet away.

He turned to look at you. "Let me help you," You said, your eyes flicking down to the tent in his jeans. You don't know why you offered, Matt never let you touch him. He'd eat you over and over, and over and over, but he'd never fuck you. You had no idea why your guys' relationship was the way it but, but it simply just... was.

Matt shook his head, his expression unreadable, "Are you too sensitive?" Matt asked, scanning your unclothed body as a smirk played at his pink lips. Hesitantly, you nodded, knowing you couldn't take his tongue again right now. As much as you wanted more, he'd never give it to you.

"'Kay, I'll see you later, Y/n," He replied in a monotone, shooting you an almost unnoticeable wink before he left you naked in your room.

"See you later, Cheif," You heard the same baby talk from when he'd arrived come from farther away in your house a few seconds later, then your door shut.

what music I think jjk students would listen to

✧ ft: yuji, megumi, nobara, maki, todo, yuta, haraki, kirara ✧ a/n: been thinking about this for a minute, and I decided to write out my opinions/hcs

jjk adult version here + jjk character playlist works here

reblogs and comments are always welcomed!!

· · ───────────── 𖥸 ────────────── · ·

✦ yuji

➥ he definitely listens to pop music with overall good vibes. I also think he would listen to R&B and rap, but nothing that is too vulgar, he is the stereotypical sunshine character so I don't think it would be in character for him to listen to music that is highly explicit

➥ I feel like yuji definitely listens to music from the 2000s and 2010s, the type of music you would hear on the radio as a kid during that time, the nostalgic type stuff,

➥ I feel like he's a big fan of some of the old Drake music and Kanye's graduation album. I also think he would love Tyler, The Creator

songs

♪ Stronger: Kanye West ♪ Loving Is Easy: Rex Orange County ♪ Games On Your Phone: 24kGoldn ♪ Glitter: Tyler, The Creator ♪ Headlines: Drake

──────────────────────────────

✦ megumi

➥ my favorite emo, he for sure listens to dorky music, such as Weezer (hence, gege made Island In The Sun his theme song), probably some alt and rock

➥ though everyone calls megumi emo I don't think he would listen to sad/depressing 24/7 unless something horrible happened to him (the recent manga chapter) I think overall for somebody as grumpy as megumi, he does listen to more upbeat, positive music

➥ I think that he would listen to older music, stuff from the late '90s and early 2000s; I honestly think he listens to a little of everything in regards to the era. honestly whatever he does listen to relates to him or has some kind of story or meaning to it, if yk what I mean

songs

♪ You Get What You Give: New Radicals ♪ QUEER: BROCKHAMPTON ♪ Time to Pretend: MGMT ♪ I Want A Dog: Weezer ♪ Wake Me Up When September Ends: Green Day

──────────────────────────────

✦ nobara

➥ listens to more women artists than men (a true girls girl) regardless of the music genre, she's going to be more interested in women singers

➥ since nobara is very confident in herself and her abilities, she listens to music that makes her feel confident. Seeing her listening to sad music as she self-loath isn't in character for her

➥ a large majority of the music she enjoys is queer-coded (she's a lesbian, fight me about it)

songs

♪ Brand New City: Mitski ♪ Cherry Bomb: The Runaways ♪ Silk Chiffon: MUNA ♪ Broken Clocks: SZA ♪ Just A Girl: No Doubt

──────────────────────────────

✦ maki

➥ I get the vibes that she listens to rock music and also likes pop and some R&B; it’s a mix of all three tbh

➥ similar to Nobara, I can see her listening to music that makes her feel powerful, little music that is self-loathing; she’s trying to keep up with her stern and strong appearance

➥ is a Megan thee stallion fan, listens to her while training

songs

♪ Conceited: SZA ♪ I’m So Sick: by Flyleaf ♪ Did It On’em: Nicki Minaj ♪ Cocky Af: Megan Thee Stallion ♪ Hard Times: Paramore

──────────────────────────────

✦ todo

➥ All upbeat music, not a single sad or depressing song on his playlist

➥ Because it’s all upbeat music, he usually listens to rap and R&B. His workout playlist is the only playlist he listens to

➥ Also listens to music from female artists that are his type (Megan Thee Stallion, etc.), and he tends to listen to music that is explicit about women

songs

♪ Baby Got Back: Sir Mix-A-Lot ♪ Started From the Bottom: Drake ♪ Faneto: Chief Keef ♪ You Better Move: Lil Uzi Vert ♪ DOGTOOTH: Tyler, The Creator

──────────────────────────────

✦ yuta

➥ I think Yuta's musical taste combines Yuji’s and Megumi’s. On the one hand, he’s a lover boy, sunshine MC, and on the other hand, he has an emo/self-loathing part of his personality

➥ Given the genres, I would say he would listen to rock, alternative, bedroom pop, and Indi

➥ I think that yuta is open to listening to any type of music, he's interested in hearing other people's favorite music and he's also a bit of people pleaser so even if he doesn't like he'll agree so the other person doesn't get upset

songs

♪ Can’t Dance, Don’t Ask Me: Weezer ♪ Creep: Radiohead ♪ Day ‘N’ Nite: Kid Cudi ♪ Television/So Far So Good: Rex Orange County ♪ Bad Habit: Steve Lacy

──────────────────────────────

✦ hakari

➥ Listens to rap and R&B, without a doubt, and maybe some rock music from time to time

➥ Knowing that it is canon that he is a rebel and doesn’t like following the rules, I can see it fitting him also the fact that he’s a bookie and a player

➥ he's a drake fan

songs

♪ Baby Keem: Baby Keem ♪ Bad and Boujee: Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert ♪ I Don’t Know Dem: Chief Keef ♪ F**kin Problems: A$Ap Rocky ♪ Crazy Story: King Von

──────────────────────────────

✦ kirara

➥ Based on their appearance and fashion style, they listen to alternative, rock, and dance/electronic

➥ kirara definitely giving off 2000s emo type music

➥ Since hakari and kirara are always together, kirara started to like hakari music more

songs

♪ freak show: Punkinloveee ♪ Ginseng 2002: Yung lean ♪ Helena: My Chemical Romance ♪ GOOD LOYAL THOTS: Odetari ♪ Hands Up!: 6arelyhuman

✮ what are their TRUE intentions with you? ✮

pile one, two, three, four, five or six?

think of a specific person as you choose your pile to see their true intentions towards you! also, these are short messages and very specific, so choose multiple piles if you feel called to do so!

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile one!

song on shuffle: "lotto" by tiacorina

their true intentions are not good for you, pile one. this person wants to make you feel insecure and powerless when in comparison to them. this person is very sneaky with you, and they're also very selfish. they with-hold as much information and generosity as they can from you. i'm seeing that this person wishes to hold as much power over you as they possibly can. this is someone who is very materialistic and may spend the last of their bag just to buy something that they don't need in order to feel valuable to others. they are most likely the type of person to buy clothes rather than pay their bills on time (maybe not clothes specifically, but the point is they've very reckless when it comes to their finances.) this person has a lot of inner conflict and they really don't even know what they want nor who they truly are at their core. they're very jealous of you and your home; they see you as someone who is very angelic and easy on the eyes. this person feels a lot like an energy vampire.

confirmation for some of you: this person lying to you often, not telling you about an offer, gatekeeping their interests and belongings, your own belongings missing after they've been around you, this person not smiling at you when you're smiling at them, they seem to always question your abilities and/or downplay your accomplishments in some way, they're always watching but never liking

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile two!

song on shuffle: "melting" by kali uchis

this person wishes to grow with you, pile two. they want to learn how to love you the way you need to be loved, and they also want you to do the same for them. the person on your mind truly want to grow and heal together with you. they don't want to give you anything small; they want you two's foundation to be sturdy and unbreakable. their true intentions are to make and build a happy family with you - whether that be with kids, pets, plants, or just considering you their own family. they may also want you to meet their family, and for them to meet yours. not going to lie, this person could've manifested you, or maybe even do spell-work in order to attract your attention towards them. this could be someone you've walked away from in the past or very recently. this person is very addicted to you, pile two. without you, this person is very sad and tends to fall back into bad habits and mindsets. this person wishes for you to nurture them and take care of them, possibly because nobody else can do what you do for them.

confirmation for some of you: you suspected this person manifesting you (and/or doing magick on you), this person is a bit manipulative but doesn't intend to be, they're very clingy with you and may always be watching your story/liking your posts, they are judgmental of themselves and their appearance, they care a lot about their health (and yours) and may talk about exercising, dieting or other self-care things a lot, may have cooked for you or offered to.

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile three!

song on shuffle: "DOGTOOTH" by tyler, the creator

this person does not have long-term intentions with you, pile three. this is someone who is all for the chase, but once they've caught you, they're already looking for the next chase. they're only interested in having fun and satisfying their short-lived desires. this is a mindset this person has, this is an intention they have with everyone. this person wants what they want and if they get it, they're ready to part ways and move on to the next. this person is unhappy at their core, which is why they're unsatisfied with everyone they come across; they want other people to fill their cup, but there seems to a leak because of their own neglect of their emotions and true desires. this person seems to be depressed when they're alone and/or not doing anything for too long. this person craves freedom, but then make false promises to people who are looking for true love. they are very sneaky, pile three. one of their manipulation tactic is being very soft and romantic with someone, letting them in on their creations and dreams, and possibly taking them out and buying gifts; but if things get too serious or they get bored, they're gone.

confirmation for some of you: they agree with all of your opinions without saying their own opinion, they seem to be "dick-riding" you (especially after an argument or being exposed), they make a lot of false promises and almost never fulfill their promises, they don't respond to you for long periods of time but when they do they love-bomb, you've seen this person lie a lot to other people, this person makes it seem like you have to have some sort of social value in order to be seen with them, they lie about not knowing people when they clearly know them

﹒ . ⊹ ♡ ⁺ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹ ❀ . ﹒ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile four!

song on shuffle: "show me how" by men i trust

unfortunately, this person is not intending to balance anything out with you, pile four. the person on your mind is very adamant on doing whatever they want whether this hurts your feelings or not. they seem to enjoy being sneaky and conniving - they get a thrill out of it. justice in reverse twice, alongside the devil twice. this person may have some sort of addiction that they said they would try to get over, but in all honestly i feel that they're doing the exact opposite of that. this person is very prideful and makes a lot of false promises, similar to pile three. it seems as though this person is proud of themselves for getting away with as much as they did - but they always get exposed somehow, you just may not always notice is. pay closer attention, pile four. the universe is speaking to you. this person is very immature, foolish, and values all the useless things in life. you're better off without them, if i'm being honest with you. you may get addicted to this person's energy because you're a healer and you feel that they need healing, but they're only going to drain you for as long as you allow them to.

confirmation for some of you: you have dreams about this person doing wrong in secret, they may have an addiction to entertainers (if you know what i mean), they're heavy into politics and you may argue over politics often, they're very touchy when they want something from you, they brag to you and others a lot, they've made a lot of promises that they didn't even put effort into fulfilling, this person may even be honest about some of the things they do behind your back but only after they've already been exposed

﹒ . ⊹ ♡ ⁺ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹ ❀ . ﹒ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile five!

song on shuffle: "part iv" by $uicideboy$

this person wants to carry out your destiny with you - they want to see you shine, pile five. they see the light you have within and they ultimately want to break the shell you keep yourself in and push you into the spotlight, where they feel like you belong. this person has a lot of deep love and feelings for you; they do not want use you. they simply want to help you. this person wants to enhance your creativity and help you to show your creations and talents to more people. this person wants to make a lot of decisions for you, mostly because if you choose then you won't choose public recognition or anything that has to do with following your dreams. i also get the feeling that this person does have a developing crush on you. although i don't feel that this person has any ill intent towards you, i am seeing that they are very generous with you because they want something in return - such as your love, time, and energy (maybe even your ideas as well.) this person knows that you're very creative and emotionally mature, so they'd do almost anything to keep you in their life for the long run.

confirmation for some of you: this could be a cousin of yours (minus the developing crush part lol), if not your cousin then they could be someone you met through your cousin (or a mutual friend), they have freckles or draw them on, they have very taboo kinks and desires, they are a bit edgier or listen to edgier music, they may try to have subtle power over your opinions and decisions by asserting their own thoughts onto you, they may be a bit flirty with you as well (if this isn't a family member of yours), they're very interested in what you're creating

﹒ . ⊹ ♡ ⁺ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹ ❀ . ﹒ ₊ ✮ ₊ ⁺ ⊹

ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ pile six!

song on shuffle: "summer bummer" by lana del rey & a$ap rocky

this person wants forgiveness in this situation, pile six. they want to heal something with you, maybe something you two have gone through together, or that has happened between the two of you that caused pain and distraught. they want to put the situation to rest and move forward together into true, blissful happiness and love with you. they want you to work together and figure out how to make things better. this person doesn't want the silence or the awkwardness to last between you two; they want to put in the work and see the growth. they are willing to be very patient, but it does seem like they're tired of waiting. they feel as though you're not willing to put any work with them, and that you may not be putting any effort to heal anything with them. this could be because they were the ones that messed up the most in the connection, so you might have a hard time trusting and letting this person in again. this person is trying their best to get over their shadow side and may act as if they've already taken care of their issues, but they still have a lot of work to do.

confirmation for some of you: this person downplays their mistakes, they may have gaslit you in the past (or currently gaslight you), they try to appear more structured and collected than they truly are, they keep a straight face during harsh conversations, they prefer to be alone than with a group of people, they forgive you extremely easily (so easy that it's kinda suspicious), they could've done a lot of things behind your back thinking you wouldn't find out

Thoughts on Chromokopia?

IT'S SO. PEAK. listened to it w/ my friends as soon as it came out, enjoyed it from start to finish🙏🙏

my top 3 are def Hey Jane, Rah Tah Tah and Judge Judy (but could change). Hey Jane just gets me good, it's gonna be stuck in my head for a while. Balloon was like the comedic relief in the album it's such a. circus-y song. but i love that about it. also the transition from Rah Tah Tah to Noid is crazy??!?!?! but all the transitions in general are uufgh🤤

Hey Jane, Tomorrow, and Like Him make me sad🙁 "I'm feelin' the resentment any time you get near me" SHUT UPPPP🙁🙁 and tomorrow had me tearing up just from the snippet😭😭 like yeah i'm afraid of growing up and things changing!!

honestly there's a lot of different things going on in this album, but it's all so good. Sticky and Like Him are two completely different ends of the spectrum. even i'm struggling making a ranking because i liked every song, 100% gonna do something with noid if i ever get the motivation. the DOGTOOTH reference in Judge Judy was like my sleeper agent activation phrase

also my friend said she was scared of the things i was gonna make with this album (everyone knows i loooove angst)😭

[penaltyboxboxbox]

If you want to share; do you have any horror movie reccs? I kinda like the less indie ones haha, but anything is nice!! I really enjoyed Talk to Me and Black Phone from some of the recent-ish ones. Looking forward to watching Longlegs!

oh man do i !! ill share some of my favs and this got really long so under the cut lol

i love scifi horror, and prometheus/alien covenant is such a big pick for me, david8 one of my fav horror antagonists ever. Also in the scifi horror genre, i ADORE event horizon, its basically demonic haunted house in space with the best cast ever and you should watch it.

I love Robert Eggers generally (the lighthouse is probably my favorite movie of all time tho i dont really consider it horror) but the witch is definitely horror and if you like historical/period pieces its an absolute must watch.

If we want some more serious veined and disturbing horrors imo- lets go with Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer by Lanthimos. Theyre slower and heavy and too bright and too horrible. their strangeness just picks at you, movies that really feel like someone grabbing your face and forcing you to look. in a similar world, i like funny games, both the original and the remake, as well as suspiria, the original and the remake. It's become rather trendy lately, i keep seeing gifs of it around lol, but Possession is also fantastic, another great performance from sam neill.

I love 80s horror, The Thing is probably one of the best horror movies ever made, just a masterclass of tension and effects work. I love the movie CHRISTINE which is about a murderous possessed car. the shining is a fucking classic and still one of the most unsettling movies for me to watch. i also love children of the corn, the strange folk horror of it is really just kind of crazy cool and underrated imo..

back to recent, its very hyped but It Follows definitely lives up to that hype. one of the best film scores in recent memory, insane performances and sense of dread. if you dont mind extreme heavy violence, green room is a fantastic watch. get out is a modern horror classic and another must watch, and i see it talked about less, but i love peele's US even more and find it so so terrifying, lupita nyongos performance in it is beyond haunting.

im a huge huge sucker for a monster movie, i adore monsters, i've already mentioned the thing and alien series which are great examples but here, take some more! i loved crawl, alligator themed florida horror. Underwater, if you like a big monster. del Toro's mimic is crazy and creepy. Annihilation isn't what id call a horror movie, but its quite horrifying, and definitely has some of my favorite movie monsters... same with When Animals Dream its more a coming of an age than a True Horror but its my favorite werewolf movie ive ever watched so i would be remiss to not mention it

i also LOVE found footage, a subgenre only really pursued by horror film, and theres a lot of bad ones but a few good ones lol. The Bay is one i'll always recommend, it uses so many mediums so well to weave this very real and awful tale of ecohorror. the OG, the blair witch project. Hell House LLC is the perfect halloween movie to get freaked out on before you and your friends go to a haunted house...

i could go on and on but this is already a lot lol....but theres so many great horror movies out there!! you need only to watch them 🫶 hope you enjoy if you do check any of these out!!

[carbonatedjem]

remind me to never design another triple changer ever again oh my god. Anyway! Cybertron Mukuro to go along with the Cybertron Junkan Pair because in my opinion it's not Junkan without Mukuro to wingman one or both of them. or just beat people up on their behalf whatever sounds funniest at the time. Anyway I already talked last night about the design inspirations for this version of Mukuro (Tarn, Soundwave, and SixShot) among other things. But I also like to yap! For Junko and Mikan while I took inspiration from other transformers I still tried to stylize them a lot to make it visually clear that it's them. For Mukuro however I made her significantly more by the books for Transformers designs, since I thought adding too much flare kinda kills part of Mukuro's normal visual appeal for me. So I made her giant, buff as hell, and gave her an expressionless Soundwave styled face.

I also used TF:Animated Lugnut as an inspiration for her Jet Mode! I wanted to make her a lot more sharper and spikier for intimidation factor. but instead opted to just give her ALL of the guns. And this is already a lot beefier than most Mukuro designs, but would you believe she was supposed to be more topheavy?

Really rough sketch of what she was supposed to look like when I originally envisioned her.

And here's the height comparison against the other two!

As for the name TriCharge, I like to imagine it's short for TripleCharge, which was originally supposed to be her name originally, but my very attractive and cool girlfriend suggested TriCharge since it was slightly less on the nose. Other names we went through were Fenrir, Dogtooth, Cerbetron, SixShot2, TriBite, and probably other ones I'm forgetting!

Anyway I'll stop yammering on, hope you like the Mukuro design! I'll try and keep making more Cybertron DR designs, cause I do have more in mind at the moment! Might even make a poll to decide who I draw next, keyword is might, i'm indecisive!~

[pearlzier]

ana do you have any song ideas for a rafe bot 😣 i’m trying to think of which song i can use but im going blank

off the top of my head UH. dogtooth by tyler the creator, super rich kids by frank ocean, nasty dog by sir-mix-a-lot

[devouringyourson]

kinds of kindness was SO GOOD. a lot to think about. love the horniness of the first act, that one might be my favorite. two was hardest to grasp but i think i worked out what it was Saying. third was the most upsetting because of that one scene. the movie was visually grounded but storywise i’d say it’s more abstract than poor things. i have not seen dogtooth but my buddy says that’s the one this most reminded him of.

really found it interesting how jarring the music was, especially in the first act. the dialogue and acting were incredibly stilted at times too, but it felt intentional so i’m not necessarily mad about it. yorgos has a… performative? aspect to his movies, he’s not aiming for realism or immersion necessarily, and that was definitely true here.

baffled why hunter schaeffer has been promoted as main cast. i guess i’m out of the loop on the popularity of the actors.

Love to hear your thoughts! Get what you mean the first story is the most cohesive, second one is a bit more of a puzzler and the third one is the most unsettling but I kinda enjoyed it the most? I was begging for the short stories to go fully supernatural so that last one was !!!!! completely get what you mean about the dialogue etc i kinda enjoy the awkwardness of it all. It's funny the same thing pisses me off in wes anderson but for lanthimos films I find it so refreshing. Like it's not real life it's a strange little world where humans act in very odd but honest ways?? yes performative that's what I'm trying to grasp at! I think watching his films from an autistic perspective is so interesting because so much of societies 'normal' interaction seems so performative to me so to have that all deconstructed amuses me. Lmao yeah I remember hunter saying she was barely in it but I think searchlight knew it was a bit left field and weren't expecting it to do well then poor things did really well and they thought 'well we have an opportunity here to get more audience by marketing this off the fashionable talent'. Always thought it was odd how quickly they pushed this out in the summer release period???

hi! could u do romantic + platonic hcs of india, australia, america & canada with a tropical country! reader? 💞

☆ them with a s/o who’s a tropical country!

starring. . . gender neutral, tropical country!reader and india, australia, america, + canada. 

author notes; matthew’s part might be a bit shorter compared to the rest, sorry! here are some songs that i found myself listening to a lot while writing this!

— dogtooth by tyler the creator, the theme from big wave by kaiyo (a little niche but it’s a banger), alcohol free by twice (shows in alfred’s bit oops!), i want you by savage garden, leão de bronze by quinteto ternura, and premier gaou by magic system.

not really a playlist for this piece but songs that i recommend you all listen to! 

> kabir!

— he goes into tourist traps willingly. he wholeheartedly goes into little shops just to get scammed by buying overpriced silly trinkets. kabir just likes having them. you didn’t know this about him at first though, so it worried you in the beginning when he’d come to your country and waste money in various tourist traps. one day you pulled him aside, telling him bluntly that he was throwing money away on useless items. kabir simply laughed, shaking his head. “i know,” he replied, chuckling a bit, “it’s fun though. and i like the cute toys.” ever since then you’ve just let him do as he pleases. occasionally you’ll scoff or roll your eyes as he insists on going into a trap shop. at this, he simply teases that he’s just “supporting your economy” and that you should be happy he’s spending so much money. 

— even as friends, he dotes on you a lot. it’s not very parental, more like a sarcastic older brother type of caring. is your economy okay? need help with resources? kabir will complain about how you’re less mature than he is while working hard to help you fix whatever issues you’re facing. he also makes sure to check on you, the person. you’re more than your country and sometimes you need a reminder of that fact. if you’re ever trying to get out of a work meeting, just give him a call. he’s got the perfect excuses ready for you to use. its just his way of showing his care and appreciation. 

— kabir really enjoys sharing food with you, like seriously. oftentimes for lunch after meetings you’ll bring a bag full of your favorite foods and he’ll do the same. the two of you will switch bags and try out new things. of course, there’s always lunches where someone doesn’t like something. everyone has different tastes. it’s not the end of the world though. eating and talking together has allowed the two of you to get even closer, so the tradition doesn’t end even once you’re in a relationship with kabir. he’ll even get jealous if you offer food to other countries, especially countries like china or england. 

— he has one of the best beach bodies known to man. okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but he is extremely attractive. it’s hard not to feel giddy as he comes out of the changing rooms shirtless with some swim trunks and flip flops. being a long-standing country, kabir has been around for a while and it shows in certain ways. still, he’s hot. he doesn’t hesitate in teasing you for looking at his body. it’s okay, because you can tease him for the same thing! he’s not the type to stare  but trust and believe he’s enjoying the sight of your body the same way you’re enjoying his. 

— he pays attention to the little things, especially when you start talking about your country and your history. you’ll be strolling with kabir, musing about how the coastal city you’re walking in used to be a major trading port maybe two or three centuries ago, and he’s just listening. he may not speak much but he nods his head in acknowledgement. in his eyes, understanding a person's history is vital to understanding the person themselves. that’s not the only thing he pays attention to though. he notices other things like body language too. he notices when another country has said something insensitive to you and he won’t hesitate to step in and stand up for you. kabir also notices when you’re eyeing something in a window of a shop— you can consider it yours, by the way.

— he loves holding your hands and hugging on you. kabir loves to pamper you in public but behind closed doors he’s a complete drama king. he’s not above whining or pouting when he’s mildly upset. if you’re cooking then he’s there, wrapping his arms around your waist and kissing your neck while muttering sweet nothings. if you’re reading then he’s in your lap, quietly asking if you’ll read aloud so he can listen. he’s considerably clingy but he’s also considerably charming and cute so he gets a pass.  

> brett kirkland!

— for your first visit to his country he takes you out on a huge aquarium date. the aquarium you go to is of course the sea life sydney aquarium. brett talks a lot during the date, passionately informing you about the marine animals there. when you reach the shark exhibit he decides to take hold of your hand, even if you’re not scared. he sizes up the sharks before turning to you and joking about how he could take them in a fight. or at least, you think he’s joking. you hope kirkland’s joking.. he’s happy to have you in australia, but he’s really happy to be showing you the sea life. it’s something that he figured the both of you could enjoy. your country’s surrounded by water.. his country’s surrounded by water.. it just makes sense. at the end of the date he’ll buy you both souvenirs from the gift shop. for the next date, brett’s thinking whale watching would be fun. 

— when he’s visiting your country, he loves to match outfits with you. he’s used to hotter temperatures so his closet matches your weather for the most part. cheesy matching couple shirts are definitely a thing with him, though if you say no he won’t continue to push it. even if you two have completely different fashion styles, kirkland’ll try to make his outfit coordinate somewhat with yours. it’s just something he finds to be cute.

— brett is the type of boyfriend to call you at one am talking at the speed of light about some sort of incident he’s gotten himself into. he loves calling you when the two of you are apart. hopefully you’re fine with hearing him ramble on the phone about nothing and everything at the same time. he’s also the type of boyfriend to sneak out of work with you, slyly leaving a meeting in london so the two of you can explore around and enjoy each other's company. kirkland takes full responsibility whenever you’re caught in the act, though his mischievous glances at you are a clear sign that you’ll be sneaking out again like rowdy teenagers sometime soon. he’s the type of boyfriend to think of you as the best thing to ever happen to him. he’ll kiss your hand and pretend to be a gentleman, smiling as you laugh at his behavior. 

— he claims that you’re his good luck charm but brett’s just a lucky man in general. occasionally his luck will rub off on you and you’ll call him to talk about it. he likes to say that his love for you is just so strong that even when you’re apart he’s there making things better for you. it’s cheesy but when you walk along your capital city one day and find a large amount of money just barely hiding in the crack of a sidewalk, you really do start to believe it. it’s not logical in the slightest but hey, it’s sweet.

— he is naturally touchy. kirkland has one hand on you at almost all times. especially when it’s the two of you out on a date. what can he say? you’re a catch! he’s sure that if he didn’t hold onto you, someone else would try to steal you away from him. though he’s not easily jealous, he doesn’t enjoy the thought of someone trying to flirt with you. typically he just holds you by the waist. if you’re ever uncomfortable just talk to him about it— brett never wants you to suffer in silence, so trust me when i say he appreciates it when you speak up. he believes firmly in talking about your issues and working through them together. the two of you can find a nice compromise that works for both of you.

— kirkland loves playing on the beach with you! please, please take him out to one of your beaches so he can play volleyball or go surfing or build sandcastles. he’s a pretty outgoing person too, so it’s easy for him to find friends at the beach. if you want to just sit out in the sand and relax, that’s fine with him! he’s not one to sit still for too long but he’ll try to come check on you in between playing on the beach. 

> alfred f. jones!

— he loves going to the beach with you and walking along the beautiful sandy shores that your country is filled with. jones absolutely adores the feeling of the sea breeze hitting his face and running through his hair as he plays beach volleyball or builds sandcastles. the waves are perfect for surfing, an activity he’ll undoubtedly try and partake in. alfred’s no stranger to beaches of course. he has plenty of his own back home. however your beaches are so pretty with such clear water and gorgeous sand almost 100% clear of trash. he’s almost jealous about how well taken care of your beaches are. your citizens seem to care about keeping beaches healthy just as much as you do.

— he gets a ton of tiktoks about food from your country, specifically the fruits. every so often he’ll try to play expert and will grab fruit and eat it raw right off the plant. jones isn’t dumb enough to eat something poisonous, but it’s still a little embarrassing. especially considering no natives of your country actually eat fruit right off the plant. he enjoys eating all sorts of cooked meals that are favorites in your country. he’s not afraid to try new things so if you recommend him something a food, he’ll definitely check it out.

— alfred falls for nearly every single tourist trap he happens to see. though he’s your friend, he’s still technically a tourist to your country. it’s something you failed to notice at first until one day while visiting he left you and came back with an armful of little souvenirs. they were useless and you told him that but he didn’t seem phased. jones told you that he’d treasure them until the day he died. basically, he’d treasure them forever. it was cute so you let it slide that day, but from then on you made a note to keep him away from tourist traps. he’d probably go broke if you didn’t keep an eye on him. the souvenirs alfred did manage to sneak off and buy were used to decorate the personal homes he had around america. they were accompanied by keepsakes from japan, denmark, and a few other places.

— inviting you over to america is a whole different can of worms. really, jones is not sure which state he should show you first— maybe hawaii or cali because they’re somewhat similar to your country.. maybe new york or maybe even florida.. actually no, not florida. never florida. maybe arizona or new mexico (you’ve seen breaking bad, right?) or alaska so that you experience the snow. the decision process isn’t made easier when you comment on going to new york and arizona in the same day. alfred has to explain to you that his country is huge and going to all the states you wanted to see in the same day was simply impossible. there’s a lot of american things he wants to show you as a sort of thank you for showing him your country.

— the two of you make a pretty cute couple as boyfriend and girlfriend. it’s a little jarring at first, since he’s very american and occasionally ignorant on issues concerning your country but jones isn’t above learning to be better. as long as you call him out on his bullshit then he’ll change because really, he does love you. fully and wholly, he loves you. he shows his love when he visits your country and instead of playing on the beach he helps you pick up trash. alfred shows his love when you come to america and he waits at the gate, running and hugging you as soon as he sees you. he shows his love when he takes you to basketball and baseball games and kisses you even when you don’t appear on the kiss cam. 

— jones is obsessed with the drinks from your country. he finds that both the alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are delicious. they seem to come in an endless combination of interesting flavors. they always leave him wanting more. when he sees you during breaks in between meetings, he’ll occasionally beg for a sip of what you’re drinking. he’ll ask to ‘waterfall’ from your cup, giving you a strong dose of puppy dog eyes so that you give in. if you manage to stay strong, it’s not the end of the world— alfred will just ask you to bring a drink for him next time. if you give in though, he’ll happily give you a bone crushing hug before tasting some of your drink. ah, so refreshing!

> matthew williams!

— williams really enjoys learning about your local wildlife, especially if you have a species that’s native solely to your country. he’s very invested in wildlife conservation and protection in general, so hearing about the plants and animals that are protected here in your country is pretty cool! he wouldn’t mind visiting a few centers or zoos in general and seeing the animals up close. if you do end up taking him there, be prepared for a lot of picture taking. matthew actually prints out some of the pictures he takes of the two of you together, framing them in his bedroom. it’s nothing big, just a small framed picture or two on his nightstand. in general, he’d bond a lot with you over wildlife conservation.

— you two dress like complete opposites due to the differences in weather. it’s a little jarring when either one of you visits the other’s country because both of you always underestimate the difference in weather. at this point, it would be more productive for you to have two closets— one for home and one for canada. williams doesn’t complain much about the weather even when he’s not properly dressed for it. he just sits and suffers silently until you notice and make him change into something more fitting. 

— he sometimes worries you’d like his brother more than him. i mean.. alfred is the more outgoing one out of the two.. it just feels like you guys are total opposites. you’re a tropical country meanwhile his country is pretty cold.. every so often matthew thinks of the two of you as too different for each other, not really realizing that you two have a decent amount of stuff in common. even if you were complete opposites, opposites attract! you love him just the way he is. you’ll have to remind him of that every so often. give him a good talk and a few kisses to the cheek or a nice hug. he’ll feel just fine after that.

— williams would absolutely love to take you out to go ice skate on a frozen pond or play in the snow. he wants to be the one to introduce you to these things. even if you’ve already been in the snow before.. maybe he could reintroduce this sort of stuff to you. he finds the whole idea of a snow day with you to be romantic.

— stereotypical but please go to a hockey game with him. please please go to a hockey game with him. the first hockey game you go to with matthew is a special event. he makes sure to get you both the best tickets he can. of course, you’re both decked out in merch for the team he roots for (don’t worry about not owning any, he has plenty to share). he even goes as far as to ask for good luck kisses before the match. every time his team scores he cheers his head off before hugging you and thanking you for your luck. even if his team loses, williams is just happy to have gone out with you— though next time he will be asking for two good luck kisses instead of just one. actually, how about a kiss for every member of the team? he’s sure they’ll win then. 

— he definitely enjoys your sunny weather though he’s a bit shy about his body. he doesn’t suffer too badly with his self image, but matthew gets self conscious every now and then. usually this doesn’t hold him back though. once he sees you waiting for him he puts his fears aside. as long as you love him and his body then who cares what someone else thinks? plus it would be improper to keep a lover waiting. especially when you look so good in your swim outfit.. of course he’s joining you in having fun on the beach.

He blocks himself with his hands or arms.

He’s super sensitive on his ribs and will immediately try pushing you away once you touch them.

Likes to tease and hug you about your sensitivity.

Talks in a childish voice in order to make you more flustered.

LEE:

SUPER TICKLISH

  Isn’t fond of being tickled but still finds it enjoyable.

  He finds it very rare for him to be tickled or even laugh.

  He has super high pitched laugh and it sounds like a tea kettle.

  He usually can sense that a person is about to tickle him.

  Motherfucker will not stay still for a second and will squeal once you lay a finger on him.

  His stomach is the most sensitive, so are his armpits.

  He will run away once he hears a word that’s similar to “tickling” or mishears the word.

Does not like to get pinned down unless he’s in a lee mood.

Anyways hope this was enough!!! Have a great day!! 

[lesbiancolumbo]

it's been interesting reading your reaction to poor things, and i wanted to ask-- do you feel that way about this film specifically, or do you feel that way about lanthimos in general? because i have a hit and miss relationship with most of his work; liked the killing of a sacred deer and the favorite, but not much else. would like to hear your thoughts

the thing about poor things for me is that aside from the trailer being one of the worst things i have ever seen in my life, i don’t feel any kind of way about it. i’m not offended by it or anything. it’s clearly not for me, and that’s fine lol. but i keep feeling a certain kind of way about it because it’s very telling to me that this film specifically is getting a lot of accolades and being praised to hell for being so like. transgressive and brave! and out there! by people who would be going to discourse fucking city if a woman had written and directed this. and considering how people are already pick-meing about this when thats pointed out is kinda proving my point. uwu “im the BIGGEST fan of women filmmakers but men can make great films about women too” literally shut the fuck up lol

anyways i liked yorgos’s early stuff but i kinda hate when filmmakers who make cool weird shit in their home country get an international blank check and go oh cool, time to Cast Da Movie Stars and be weird for the sake of just being weird without any of the substance! like what the fuck even was killing of a sacred deer, yorgos. like the fuck. i enjoyed the lobster and the favourite but nothing hes done has held a torch to the frantic energy of what dogtooth was doing and i miss THAT weird guy. where the fuck did he go. take his money away

What were your thoughts on poor things? and do you have any thoughts on the best picture nominees?

controversially, i really quite enjoyed it - or, certainly, it's the film i've seen recently which has stayed with me longest after leaving the cinema, which i concede might be a slightly different thing.

this isn't something i was expecting - i'm not a massive lanthimos fan [largely because, even though i'm aware that i should keep my mouth shut about this as someone who has been found defending wes anderson's style, i think lots of his signature techniques are a bit overdone]. i liked dogtooth, but i thought the lobster/the favourite/killing of a sacred deer were just ok - and so i didn't have high hopes for poor things, even before taking into account that i saw it while very well aware of the criticism it has received for being misogynistic etc.

i don't think i entirely agree with that characterisation of the film - it seemed more to me that it was trying to cram too many themes into too little time [its commentary on medical ethics, for example, felt really half-done], in a way which gave none of them proper space to breathe.

but i do like a bit of absurdist technicolour to counteract all the hyper-realistic films you can't see properly. and the cast are just so good. i've entertained myself endlessly by doing mark ruffalo impressions whenever i can, and phrases such as WHAT OF THE TONGUE PLAY have entered my vocabulary permanently, i fear.

the main 2023-24 film opinion i have to get off my chest though...

i thought barbie was shit.

[samarchys]

Chromakopia

to set the scene, I listened to this record the second it came out, me and my girlfriend were driving home from dropping a friend off at the airport, shitty hyundai i10 speakers blasting, we’ve both been exhilarated for this project to release especially me being a fan since wolf, being around for album releases by you is a feeling i’ve had the blessing to be apart of in the past and i’ve held that feeling so close to me for a big portion of my life, it truly means a lot to me. CHROMAKOPIA felt so distinctive and revolved around a lot of accountability almost? that’s sort of how I saw it through my first listen anyways. I am a big fan about being yourself and saying what you feel over anybody else’s given opinion and there were topics of this sprinkled through the whole project and it’s something that inspires me a lot. For the first listen though, Thought I Was Dead, Hey Jane and Judge Judy all appeared bright to me, Hey Jane in all due respect to it’s incredible storytelling reminded me heavily of rap battle repertoire, the back and forth and clashing viewpoints between both you and Jane, but at the same time both being so individualised by their own perspectives, it truly did feel like two polar opposites and you articulated it well dude. If it’s a true story then major respect, it really reshaped my way of thinking about storytelling especially being a musician of my own, it’s flippin hilarious actually coz i’m in a deep writers block right now hearing you breathe colour back into things has lifted my heart back up, wrote two really rad tunes earlier this morning because of your artistry, i thank you for it. Judge Judy caught both me and my girlfriends ears the second it started playing, your flow resonated with the percussion, it’s suuuuper infectious, it brought me back to a time in my life that things just barely made sense but it felt like things should’ve been going right. The topic on how sudden things can change like this story of you and Judy just stuck with me and my girlfriend because part of it reminded both of us of just how we met and how instantaneous our relationship came to us, it created a very special moment for us, and the dogtooth interpolation was slyyy i loved it, major points for that moment. Finally Thought I Was Dead got me so sooo excited ever since you posted the excerpt of it before release, as soon as I heard it it gave me an influx of thoughts and ideas, I went to work right after hearing it, those drums have power!! and the horns dude, you used the brass instruments perfectlyyyy through this project man, the Q feature!? what can I say man, just absolute mastery, I resonate with it a lot because man i’m trying to promote this one single and i’m getting mocked and ignored heavily from it, i’ve always felt like that whenever i’m doing something or attempting something that takes a lot of effort, from highschool or junior school, it’s been major ignorance and doubt on my back so this song felt special like a real "proved it" moment, hit me the same way that P’s “You Can Do It Too” did with young Sam, it’s one of the ones i hold close. I’m hoping to be coming to a london show for the tour and all of these tunes on the album are going to create a very heartfelt experience for me and tons others that’s a given. Talk my shit I sure damn will! you ain’t like that shit? i’ll do it again!!!!

This is a message for Tyler Okonma
