Hi! I was reading your tags and am genuinely curious as to what about the SA handling you did not care for As someone who does have issues with such things, I have not been able to put my finger on the problem that I am actually having with how things are handled or if it is just a general issue of it being in things I otherwise enjoy.

Keeping this really brief because it's not really something I want to argue on or anything haha. I just kind of have a personal issue with it in context of the epic in that

Calypso's rape of Odysseus - explicit

Suitors' potential harm to Penelope - implied

Vs the musical

Calypso and Odysseus - implied or erased. I'm not actually sure, people seem to believe both

Antinous' song and Odysseus' song after - very explicitly states their intention to rape Penelope, the animatic in hold them down is also very graphic from what I've seen

It feels a bit selective, and it's kind of the same issue I had with tsoa. I don't really mind these topics coming up in adaptations/media, it's always important, but there is some discussion to be had about gender and SA, especially in horror, and how people depict rape for either gender groups

Obviously we have to wait for the video to know the story, but for anyone who’s studied any kind of social history/psychology/sociology/etc. And knows a little about the diagnosis of hysteria, Victorian mores, the use of lobotomies/shock therapy/etc to treat women who failed to live up to patriarchal ideals and the minimizing of women’s physical and mental health issues historically in the medical and psychiatric fields plus the old Hollywood of it all… the imagery is Telling The Story. I am fucking SEATED.

a frustrating thing about battle royale stories is that they take place in a world where there's a massive popular appetite to see torture and death, the existence of this appetite is the main moral evil of the story (so far so fine), and the author tends to pretend this is also a huge problem in our world so that their work can stand as a Commentary On Real Evil. when the world their actual readership lives in has the opposite problem – too squeamish about seeing torture and death and coercion and collectively agrees to sequester it out of view so that nice things can keep being available for under five dollars at the grocery store

Okay I’m not even into trolls or anything, but that height analysis was pretty cool and interesting lol

Any more things you analyzed? (Or even a fun fact, idk, just wanna see people talk about things they like)

i've analyzed quite a lot but one thing i haven't seen other folks fully explore is the horrific living conditions in that bottle.

i know why it's not covered in film, cause again, this story is a silly musical comedy for kids! and if it were given it's full appraisal, the tone of the movie would be absolutely shot.

...

but like,,,, it's so dang bad in there my dude. it's SO bad.

like, in it's upright position, the diamond's base isn't big enough for floyd to lay down on, without cricking his neck severely.

so even when we see him drifting to sleep, he's sitting. minimum 2 months of trying to sleep sitting up. (against a cold/hard surface no less)

(he's also got an instant-wake response to . someone lightly tapping on the door. . .)

oh and also! the air in there has gotta be super thin, as there is but a single breathing hole at the top of it, not even as wide as a troll finger.

and that's ! when it's not capped off ! most of the time, it's got the spritz cap on, making it even harder for any air to circulate in there.

while we're at it ; since that's the only opening (no clasps, no grooves, no visual indicators that it can open via any other method at all, hence the film's conceit that the brothers need to hit the PFH to free him), i'm inclined to believe that it's also the only way to get food to him...

... which is to say you can have your pick of many terrible options for that. whether velvet & veneer tried to mash something through there, or have him sip from the world's worst gerbil feeder,

or they just. didn't feed him at all. and he's only alive because it's a magic world.

wHICH IS STILL SAYING NOTHING ABOUT HOW THEY ACTUALLY HANDLE HIM

plugging those excerpts cause. y. yeah... they're not gentle with him at all. bro is Bruised to all hell.

.... and none of this has to do with the actual core threat in the movie, which is having his core forcefully ripped from his body, leading to the whiteness and crystallization we see goin on.

in conclusion i need way more art/fics covering floyd's recovery okay? okay.

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? (2024) written & directed by Taylor Swift

So tell me everything is not about me …but what if it is?

[sevenspoonfulsofsugar]

an interesting detail about the one of many things that count orlok represents in this new adaptation of nosferatu is that the only time we see ellen and thomas engaged in full-on physical intimacy, they are both relatively clothed and it is nighttime. her hair is still up, and the deed is frantic and rushed in their front room. they love each other deeply, that much is clear, but there is something about that level of desire and debasement that is still shameful and out of character for thomas. it is a fight to get him there.

when ellen lures count orlok into her trap and they lay together, they are both naked, and the dawn is quickly approaching. she has taken her hair down, and there is a bed large enough for them both. she has discarded all the trappings of modern society, as has he, and the pace of their coupling is languid. serene, almost. where thomas was not willing to meet her except under pressure, orlok meets her at that place where she has always resided alone. there is no fight or shame, not even in their last living moments.

everyone's problem is that they binge too many shows/movies and mine is i can't sit my ass down to watch something without feeling immense guilt or restlessness

the loved ones (2009)

directed by sean byrne

[gayeilgeoir]

Here’s a bunch of reasons people hate Taylor swift, but it’s not actually what they say, it’s what they mean-

They hate that she makes songs publicly criticising men they venerate for being shitty people

They hate thats she’s a powerful woman

They don’t understand her lyrics so they think she can’t write

They don’t realise that a 35 year old woman is going to sound like a 35 year old woman

They hate that shes hot

They’ve listened to like 4 songs and decided all of them are the same

They’re media illiterate

They hate a woman who doesn’t centre her life around men

They hate a non married woman with no kids

They hate women who are kind, smart, and pretty because women are only allowed to be maximum 2 of those in their eyes

They have a desperate need to be different

They have internalised misogyny and hate her because she targets so much of her songs and brand stuff to teenage girls
