HII NEW MUTUAL!! HULLO NEW AINSLEY SHIPPER! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE AINSLEY WORLD DOMINATION MOVEMENT! no but in all seriousness this is so beautiful i love your art

it’s the way that henry looks so melancholy, how everette looks so genuinely terrified for once. it’s how they hold each other’s hands because they only have each other, that their story ends with them intertwined together. it’s really beautifully done, thank you for drawing them!

to anyone following everette’s story, just know that this may or may not be his ending. that i may know how his story truly ends, but you guys don’t and will only get vague glimpses here and there. i want his ending to stay ambiguous, anonymous to you, the viewers! it really is like a story, it takes time to get through all the chapters and words before finally taking in the ending

Don't ask, just...just.

just admit you think better of asa than you do of the rest of us. no shame in feeling things, is there?

-franklin

"Oh, you'd know so much about feelings, wouldn't you Shepherd? After all, that Kikita girl has you wrapped around her little finger like a perfect ribbon on a present. If only she knew what was within the contents of such a pretty package.

Would you ever tell her, hmm? Or must I be the bearer of bad news to such a pretty innocent girl of the person you really are? She'd hate to see your record, wouldn't she, Shepherd? She'd hate to know what I know... Maybe one day it will just. Slip. Off. My. Tongue.

As for Damon, I have already mentioned what I think of him. Such trivial matters don't deserve to be brought up again and again. Unless you have nothing else to discuss with me? The dirt I have on you is. a mound, lets not forget it.

You know who I am Franklin. You know that Damon is worth as much to me as a grain of sand on the beach. A pretty beach. Maybe he is more than that. Maybe a shell or a pebble or a piece of sea glass.

Although, he reminds me quite of that Henry boy, does he not? I bet with enough talking, I could get him to follow me the same way he pathetically followed in Ainsworth's footsteps? They always intrigued me, quite honestly. Someone to follow me around... Someone to stare at me the way Ripley used to do. Such wide eyes. I could have sworn his pupils were hearts. A fascinating way to treat a friend.

You know, I think I quite like him. Yes. I'll accept the notion that I treat Damon differently if you can accept that you have become more of a monster than you ever were before the bloody plane crashed. Poor Wilbur's broken arm... However did that happen? Certainly nobody had pushed him off of that bridge...

There is no shame in feeling, Shepherd. None in what I feel for you and none in what I feel for Damon. He will stick with me and in the end, I would burn the island down, I would strike the bloody match, to see him alive and you in the flames. You are worthless scrap that gets fed to a dog under a table.

Know your place, Shepherd. It will always be beneath me."

hello! you’re kikita, right? I’m…… i’m henry-

i like your hair!

:3

My hair? You like them??

“Thank you! The littluns often likes to style my hair, lately, their favorite fashion is getting flower with me and styling it in my hair. Simon said it was pretty, and he even put flowers in my hair too. (Les fleurs fânent trop vite…)”

“You’re Henry? The guy that is always staring at Everette? I saw you round, I thought you wanted to become friend with him, I can help maybe!”

i love your nickname! it’s quite unique. i’m rather glad my name’s Henry— my mother kept calling me Henryk after her father and i hated it— though at times its a bit plain. Here, have a flower, new soul :) 🌸

-Henry P. Ripley [@henrys-eulogy-aflame]

"Thanks."

doomed together and doomed apart

“was i wrong? you were at my beck and call, were you not? trailing about behind me, flowers left in your wake to give to me. tell me henry, does that not sound akin to a mutt with its tail inbetween its legs? or am i truly the one who is mistaken here?

watch your words, and similarly, don’t put words in my mouth. i may not be god but i will forever be more holy than you ever will be. according to you, i was the subject of your affections, no? if i wasn’t divine then why did it feel like you were worshipping the very ground i walked on?

hate, i see that you hate me now ‘hough. it’s better than whatever you could have possibly felt before, repulsive that’s what it was if that’s what you are possibly implying. however, this i can reciprocate. i can reciprocate your feelings of resentment, henry. isn’t that what you wanted? for me to feel the same?

“but fine. i’ll leave you be now, just don’t come crawling back to me”

[henrys-eulogy-aflame]

ok here i’ll post my hs henry

here’s the boy!

Modern henry is VERY openly gay, also probably he/they-ing hehe. junior, 17 Aidnasjsj his blue hair!! Definitely has a strong crush on everette, though he has not a clue. Close with Frankie, Wilbur, Ev, maybe Kikita and Kitt

(edit: oh yeah and he acts and plays piano!! and wants to get in to photography)

“Stop playing, Richard. You’re not him. You could never be him. He’s worse than a demon, you know.”

he continues to stand before him, almost admiring how the flower was yet to wilt.

“i don’t care what form you take, i don’t care if you try to scare me with his visage. I’m not his son. I’m yours.”

You. You! You— Richard. Or whatever you are. I’m not scared of you. I never was! I’m doing this for companionship only. You seem to care enough to persist. It’s admirable—or would be if i admired you—so I may indulge you. But I don’t like your games! I don’t like them— I don’t like them— I don’t like them— you must think I do. Alas…

I DON’T! I DON’T! You think you’ll snap your little fly fingers and i’ll be by your side? I’M NO LAPDOG. Of course, you must’ve heard what Ainsworth said. He’s a liar isn’t he. I despise beautiful liars! JUST LIKE I DESPISE THIS DARKNESS, THESE FOOLS. ALL OF YOU, ALL OF THEM, FOOLS! You know this, Richard, can’t you tell. They’re all… simply….—

He slams his spear into the dirt. The still-wet blood on its end splatters against his face. At the feeling of it dripping down his skin, he stills.

W-wait. Maybe we can arrange something. Please, do what you said. “Take me under your wing”. I’ve.. God, i’ve never been taught what that means. What does it mean? Maybe… maybe I could give you what you want? If you give me this…. This thing i’ve never had. Maybe then i wouldn’t have to be in this solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…. the solitude…the solitude…the solitude…the solitude… the solitude which i hate.

I hate a lot of things, Richard. Life, death… Everette, the lack of him… this island, you, myself…. Maybe you can just take me and be done with it. No use for me anyhow. Useless, useless, useless, useless…. I think i deserve to be alone. But somehow you refuse to leave me alone…. Here. Here are some flowers. Begonia, if i remember. I don’t care what they mean. Don’t wilt them��..Please?

I… am sorry. I don’t know whats come over me. I haven’t spoken so much since Ev— for a while, i mean. I think we can come to some agreement. I accept your offer, Demon of Flies.

A deal is a deal, then.

[It smiled. Finally, you took the deal! It has been such a long time ever since such a deal like this has struck on this island. It had the form of a man in a hat and coat, mimicking a familiar figure in your life. Surely, this one wouldn't leave you, though.]

[Like a small, still calm voice, it then softly whispered in its ear, a voice of a man came out of it's sychronized buzzing.]

My son.

[wilbur-holland-lotf]

hi wilbur! ‘M henry! Have I… seen you around?

so probably not! i’ve never seen you before. there’s a whole lot of people here though. more names and faces for me to learn, even if i forget them sometimes

Mike's Media Medley--April 2024

henlo and welcome to my monthly diary review thing where i talk about movies/shows/games i experienced for the first time this month. there are a lot of things i watch/play throughout the year that i really like but don't ever get the opportunity to talk about due to the restrictions of my 7 game/7 movie restrictions on my end of year list + the fact i limit movies to 2024 releases. this list encompasses movies and games from any time period that i watched or played for the first time ever this month.

feel free to reply to this post with things you think i should watch or play!

here are some things i watched and played for the very first time this april:

2024 movie/show releases: Monkey Man, Civil War, Abigail, Fallout

non-2024 movie/show releases: Alien (1979), My Octopus Teacher (2020), The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)

games: fallout 3 (2008), the battle of polytopia (2016), let's build a zoo (2021), mineko's night market (2022)

my thoughts on all of them below, in alphabetical order--movies/shows first, then games:

Abigail (2024)

this movie was honestly pretty fun. enjoyed it more than i was expecting tbh, i used my membership tuesday price on this cuz i did not feel like paying full price for a ticket to see this. kind of thought it would be just dumb "ooh evil kid" shock horror

and like. don't get me wrong it is definitely ooh evil kid horror but the twist is given relatively early with only minor padding for a bigger twist later. thought it was decently funny and it works well enough as a singular movie but i don't see it warranting a sequel which the ending might be building up to. and though it was fun everything was like. Fine. directing was fine. acting was fine. music was fine. probably would not see it again but did not hate my decision watch it

60/100

Alien (1979)

YES this is really my first time seeing Alien, i am pretty unfamiliar with basically everything about Alien, nothing i say will probably be new

first off the sound was like. really quiet? and idk if it's because my theater had the volume too low or if that's the way it was mixed--it is an old movie after all--but i couldn't hear a lot of the dialogue and i feel like it would've boosted my enjoyment of the movie a lil more but i did really like it

specifically the art direction and set design. the alien planet and the ship, the fossilized skeleton on that big chair all with this really distinct weird black mechanical look that is also like. weirdly alive. and how that extends to the nostromo having parts of it as the movie progresses that looks like the alien. biomechanical is i think the word for it? its awesome. epic, even. makes u paranoid

big fan of the directing as well. very claustrophobic at some scenes. the refusal to show you the alien in full for a while. reaction shots instead of direct sight of the gore and horror (the cat when the janitor dies, ripley hearing parker and lambert die as she runs)

the thing that detracts from the movie for me is the sexual violence undertones. just simply not a fan

p good, might need to rewatch with subtitles to appreciate a bit more once i understand the actual plot lmfao. also this movie is very sweaty just like love lies bleeding. maybe i like sweaty movies. 80/100

(more under the cut)

Civil War (2024)

this movie was not very good

i was not going to see it and then i heard that it was less a typical war movie from the perspective and soldiers and shit that it was more about war correspondence and that piqued my interest as someone who used to want to be a journalist. turns out it's not even that much about war correspondence either. the main characters are war photographers but it all feels like. pretty surface level?

not to mention i understand the intent of keeping the politics of a theoretical civil war part 2 vague so as to not actually incite any specific kind of rage or controversy from either side but like. its a civil war movie. about war correspondence and photography.

the emotional hook of the movie just does nawt work for me. the young photographer lady is incredibly dumb. why does she do the things she does. why does she jump between the cars like that when she's so obsessed with the main lady. i had other gripes with her but i dont even remember all of them because this movie is already a distant memory. the bonding between them does nothing for me and just feels really forced and corny.

that being said there are some nice shots in this movie. it's well-directed but the sound design is really fucking carrying. all of the gunshots are LOUD and impactful and i think that really helps with the conflict where the wishy washy centrist politics fail.

30/100. not the worst movie ive ever seen but i would not watch it again.

Fallout (2024)

yeah yeah the show is really good. acting is good all across the board. was fun seeing the fun references / easter eggs to fallout. i was particularly interested in norm's side of the plot and lucy was a really refreshing protagonist. i think maximus was the weakest of the main plotlines but i'm hoping they go somewhere with his darker side because while i think it was the weakest i think he has the most potential

like lucy and the ghoul are pretty squarely set on their own sides with their own clear morals (or karma, good and evil) but maximus is someone who wants to be a good person but is often just. not good at being a good person. he's naive and not very competent at his job tbh but is still being heralded as a new wave of the brotherhood of steel. very interested to see where all that goes.

enjoyed it a ton. 85/100

Monkey Man (2024)

dev patel really made a movie about the healing power of trans people and he's awesome for that

good action flick with some scathing political commentary that i wish i was more well-versed on indian politics to say something substantial about but i could Feel the contempt for modi/the bjp and hindu nationalism as a whole

it's shot & edited sooooooo frenetically and i think this works a lot of the time HOWEVER at some points it is like. an active detriment. i never really feel nauseous when movies use shaky cam but this movie's camera is not just shaking. that shit is rocking. vibrating. particularly when he's outrunning the police thats when it gets Bad

otherwise i really enjoyed it. the action hits. the aesthetics and cinematography are probably my favorite of everything i watched this month! that being said i probably wouldn't watch it again just because i'm not the type to rewatch action movies like these i think ive only ever seen john wick the one time

75/100

My Octopus Teacher (2020)

it was fine. it's a documentary idk i don't have much to say. doesn't really feel right rating it but i watched it and the visuals were breathtaking but like it doesnt rly have a plot or anything. its neat. nice background thing to put on while you do something else

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)

yeah yeah. unique color palette and color grading. directed well to suit the framing device. everyone and everything is smartly positioned onscreen.pretty good performances from people who have to just dump like 60 lines of dialogue on you all at once. yall know this one is good its wes anderson go watch it its 40 minutes long

75/100

video games:

The Battle of Polytopia (2016)/Let's Build a Zoo (2021)

putting both of these games here because i really don't have a lot to say about them, i played them both very briefly. in let's build a zoo's case, literally for five minutes. the battle of polytopia was boring and after like two runs i was like ok welp that's it for me. i did play the mobile version so that might be part of the problem but idk i don't think the gameplay loop would've grabbed me even if expanded. let's build a zoo had atrocious UI and controls on console and i immediately got pissed off trying to build an enclosure and uninstalled

Fallout 3 (2008)

i am not immune to propaganda

is this game good? not really but my favorite elder scrolls game is oblivion so you should know i, for one, love bethesda jank. love walking around in a big ass world full of weird people and discovering places and just taking a look around. frankly i don't care if i died five times to the same pack of super mutants. i'm having a good time.

not super deep into the main story and have only completed about ten quests but i'm into it

Mineko's Night Market (2022)

man i like. really wanted to like this game. it has a really cute art style and a good sense of humor, and i like management and sim games. unfortunately it just failed to grab me. i had a chuckle or two for the first hour i played but after that i was just really bored running around looking for flowers and i quit before i even got to attend the actual night market. i played it through my dad's gamepass and i usually end up quitting games quickly due to buying them on steam and needing to decide if i like them or not under 2 hours. otherwise i try not to quit games that early unless they're super boring or glitchy/unplayable. unfortunately even without that time limit looming over my head it just wasn't really doing anything for me.

if u got this far into reading this i love u
