‘Bougainvillea’ movie review: An unsatisfying psychological thriller

Fahadh Faasil, Jyothirmayi and Kunchacko Boban in stills from ‘Bougainvillea’ | Photo Credit: Amal Neerad Productions/YouTube Among all the flaws a writer can imagine for their protagonist, an unreliable memory throws up quite a few fascinating possibilities. In Bougainvillea, Reethu (Jyothirmayi) is almost always unsure of anything that happens right in front of her eyes. For a fairly good…

I decided to do the lot of them! Mal is 5'2, Jay is 5'9, Ben is 5'11, and Dizzy is 5'5 (not in canon but when she stops growing).

" some believe that it is us separated from the spiritual world, which beasts can roam freely. " eyebrows rose. " they can carry messages from divine power, if you believe in the legends && stories. " looking now to the large tapestry of creatures, big && small, ari exhaled, returning their gaze carefully to the other. it was rare to stumble across someone whose name was unknown to ariyan - and for just a moment, a chill of nerves crept up their spine.

to have something to hold, ariyan bent to retrieve their prayer mat, standing with an easy chuckle. " ah, yes, so you have caught me. i snuck away from my guard, though surely he will find me shortly. it is the one thing so far i have yet to fully adjust myself too.. in this place of, how you say, importance. " it had a nice ring to it. " my deepest apologies, though i believe i have seen your face, i fail to recall your name. "

When the game was proposed, Jay blinked for a second. This game was so isle-coded and he was surprised that any of the Auradorks had any interest in playing it. But when Evie asked him? Well, then he laughed. "Oh smash. Definitely. Have you seen you? Do we need to get you a new mirror?"

dark  eyebrows  shoot  upwards  ,  "  any  scenario  ?  "  sylvain  echoes  ,  the  slightest  bit  shock  even  as  someone  so  unperturbed  .  it  is  the  restriction  they  assume  such  a  feat  requires  ,  rather  than  the  scenario  itself  that  leaves  them  even  remotely  scandalized  . "  i  am  best  suited  for  land  ,  but  i  shall  do  my  best  not  to  ,  i  assure  you  .  "  a  solemn  nod  ,  though  there  remains  a  hint  of  mirth  in  his  visage  ,  a  chortle  only  just  held  back  .  as  if  to  make  a  point  ,  about  his  preference  for  being  on  solid  ground  ,  he  bends  down  to  remove  his  shoes  ,  submerging  only  up  to  his  knees  in  the  water  .  "  as  i  should  not  like  to  sully  your  reputation  ,  nor  your  country's  .  "  he  continues  with  an  easy  grin  . that must be where he recognizes the king — the sultan of turkey and shah of persia , rather — from . in his mind , he files the detail away .

a smugness spreads on the stranger's lips; a chuckle echoes in the back of his throat; recognition ignites somewhere in his mind; he'd seen their face before but as to where, he couldn't quite place the memory of. a cheekiness overcomes him. "as the king, i would have to agree with your sentiment. however, as a man, admittedly, it is a little odd and overwhelming." rostam admits with a grin. "a moment alone is hard to come by with them, in any scenario you can think of, my friend, they are there - any scenario." rostam emphasizes, his look toward slyvain wide-eyed and disbelieving.

in a mirror, his nod is similarly small yet insistent. "of course. you do not need permission to swim in a public space, after-all...i just ask that you do not drown in my presence, it would not look well on persia or turkey." he jests, dunking his head underneath the surface of the water.

i only read tumblr once a day because i [try] to stay sane so only just caught up with the art discourse, which I do have some bits n shit I want to add: a bit fasile for one but, dont you as an artist have upkeep and resource needs to produce? even if its just like...computer, tablet and necessities to continue existence because art takes time to make, those are real, and cost money. "art" in an absolute sense can be made for free with minimal time through just thinking, but like, a webcomic that is a physical thing made of electronic patterns and hosted on a server, takes time and takes stuff. "Webcomics" isnt a free infinitely repeating resource, and you are more than a machine to create webcomic, and none of us are infinite as a resource! at worst, art hits public domain eventually. that said even from that place of survival in capitalistic society it DOES make sense to at least have free public facing art as PROMOTION even if its just idk downtime sketches, doodles, memes, fanart etc so like im not 100% disagreeing yknow, and I am not and artists cant be a paying consumer my/their own art, art has to exist for the self too, the self that isnt a "paying class", or i just start making marvel movies and then its time to find my cool wet hole in the dirt and express my creative individuality like im a mathmatician of statistical analysis of fluid dynamics.

now that im awake i was going to answer these point by point, but this kind of flies past my point that making art exclusively for those who pay is abysmal and treating your audience like they're thieves is a poisonous and off-putting response to one's perceived "loss of income" (which is not even theft because the item being "stolen" can be reproduced infinitely. im talking about like a digital image like a comic page and not a physical item where there's limited copies lol). people either want to pay you or they dont; you can't force people to pay you by making access to your work harder, worse, more inconvenient, and more degrading to your audience. you can't induce artificial scarcity and be a good person.

like yeah obviously art production takes money. that's why most artists work desk jobs instead of trying to make it a solo venture and just expecting the world around them to pick up their slack. i didn't come out of a lotus blossom with a tablet ready to go, i worked desk jobs from age 15-24 in order to have enough savings to cushion myself if need be and pay for base supplies. i use tablets and items gifted/sold to me at a steep discount by my friends. i lived really poor in order to have the life i wanted. and i really loved it lol. i still think of that time so fondly.

once the comic is produced and posted, it is free for my audience to look at and the reproduction costs of the finished image is 0 dollars. it can be copied and reposted freely without charge. it costs me basically nothing to host. the production costs are currently covered by patreon donations. if they were no longer covered by patreon donations i would get a desk job instead of making my choice to go into the financially unsuccessful field of the arts my audience's personal problem to solve. if i don't make things people want to buy, that's my problem and not my audience's.

yeah, it would suck to have to stop doing this because its no longer financially viable (it is really financially hard right now; the state of the world around us is not conductive to the patreon life), but i wasn't entitled to it anyway. i get to make art for a living bc i have an audience that permits me to. why would i start treating them like dogshit or lying about value of my work to squeeze extra money out of them after what they gifted me?
