buffy essentially conditioning spike like an animal to never believe what she says and to act against her wishes because she doesn't mean what she says and can't say what she means, including "no" and them both having to break out of those patterns (buffy by being honest and gentle with both of them, spike by regaining his soul and therefore rebuilding a moral code outside of reactions to violence and/or proximity) in order to be together............. <33333

You exist. As long as you exist you’re doing good. You don’t need to do anything other than that to have value.

a lot can happen in a year. 

from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, i've been on six or seven new medications (give or take). i went from being unemployed for over a year and a half to having a part time job that pays the same as my last. i went from hardly ever leaving the house to seeing movies and going out with friends. i started doing therapy again. and i rejoined tumblr, something i wasn't sure I'd ever do again. i've never been overly fond of social media to begin with, and i wasn't sure if I was even making the right decision to start using it again. i had been in fandom communities off and on for years, with experiences far more negative than they ever were positive, and i couldn't be sure that this would be any different. 

i am so very glad to say i was wrong.

i've talked about elvis on a handful of occasions now, but allow me, if you will, the chance to be sentimental about its significance one last time. prior to june of this year i had no real concept of what baz lurhmann had planned when he released elvis 2022 into the world. yet another musical biopic, this time carried on the shoulders of a relative unknown? i have always had love for baz lurhmann's artistry, but this seemed like a long shot, even for him. 

still, it had my attention. 

i had given up on any attempts to connect with my family after years of false promises, spending most of my summer feeling isolated from most of the people in my life for one reason or another. i decided I'd treat myself to something after the way the year had gone thus far. knowing my dad liked elvis, i convinced him to go see the movie with me on its opening weekend, thinking we both might get something out of it.

it was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences i've ever had sitting in a theater.

i went on to see elvis seven more times in theaters, each time wondering whether or not the magic would wear off and it would lose its opulent, cinematic luster. in reality, it only ever burned brighter and brighter, giving me a love and appreciation of elvis presley that i wouldn't otherwise have beyond the simple enjoyment of music i had listened to off and on for as long as i can remember. it introduced me to a talent whose performance was so captivating it made me overlook tom hanks in every scene he was in. and, perhaps more than anything, it introduced me to people who were not only like-minded in their experience with this film, but were unwavering in their kindness and their friendship.

elvis is not the entity of my tumblr experience (this being my 4th time interacting on the platform). there are many other people and types of content i have interacted with since starting this blog and, if you have made it this far, i simply want to thank everyone for the memories they have given me at a time when I needed it most. 

to the people who colour my dash with their passion for the things they love most. my dash would not be the same without you.

to the people whose creations inspired me to rediscover the joy of what it is to make art

@floralcyanide @melis-writes @nathandrqke @she-is-juniper 

and finally to my friends, the people who have pulled me out of a shell i didn’t realize i was in. your kindness means more to me than you know.

i never expected to have followers, or an impromptu movie club, or even a blog to begin with. i certainly didn’t expect to end the year on a positive note. i am not someone who makes a habit of being particularly optimistic, but i dare to hope that maybe, just maybe, this next year will be better. to all of you reading this, wherever you are, may you find kindness and warmth and many blessings in 2023. may you eat well and heal and continue to grow. may you find comfort in the things you love, and may your new year be rich with the love and support of the ones you hold dear in your life, be it family, friends, or pets. whatever your year may have been, i hope it ends on a better note than it began on, and i look forward to not only sharing new films, but making new memories with all of you. 

in the immortal words of elvis presley, "til we meet again, may god bless you. adios."

all my love to you, 🦁❤️

i wish every single tv show film anything ever in existence showed characters’ skin the way young royals does because maybe then i wouldn’t have spent my adolescence trying desperately to cure something that didn’t need to be cured

Oughh i’ll never get over the women characters in arcane

[kermits-cup-of-tea]

i just had a moment because in the wayyyy distant future if aliens visited earth and all that was left of this time was fossils, they wouldn't know about the cute little details of how all of us are built like elephant trunks and that some people had mohawks and some birds had wild tail feathers and such

and then i started crying because "the aliens won't know about the eyebrow whiskers" while watching my old cat sleeping in the sun, his eyebrow whiskers caught in the sunlight and they looked like little antennae and the aliens wouldn't be able to know that about cats because all they'd have are bones

the aliens wont know that cats look at us like this because they love us as much as we love them, and slow blink to show affection, or essentially yell at us to communicate because we don't speak with the same tongue, or purr when they're happy and content

and we have the same problem, all we have of dinosaurs are the fossils of their bones and the occasional fossilized mummy. we have books like All Yesterdays and entire careers dedicated to trying to bring the real back to their skeleton forms but we can only get so close because time kept us separate and they didnt send any messages

but we have, we sent voyager 1 and 2, and the golden records with some of our sounds and pictures so that maybe we could be known by someone off our tiny world. we packed as many languages and animals and songs onto it so that somewhere, maybe someone will say hello back. and maybe, if thats as close as time brings us together, if all that is left are our bones, we can at least welcome them onto our home and be remembered for our hope and desire to reach out even if nothing waved back

but we've waved back. or forwards. we have our cave art showing some of our world, the horses and wolves and mammoths, things long gone even now. and then our handprints, the thousands of hand prints, thousands of different people spanning... a thousand different mothers, all saying hello. all saying 'i was here' before we had the words to write it

electricity is temporary and long in the future, eons after we no longer exist, we'll have our art. this is why art is so important. how else can time bring us together?

i think im going to draw my cat sitting in the sun

if time doesnt bring us together, i will hope they see it and know that he had eyebrow whiskers and that they glowed in the sun
