someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

#across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #break from my regularly scheduled trigun posting for spider posting #i'm actually kinda eh on the idea of the canon and police chiefs dying it is not my favorite plot point #but like any sane person i love spiderverse so #actually still think i like the first one more but wroaw much to think about #spiderverse #atsv #.lieii #i only watched the movie once so hopefully this is all accurate #i feel like this is all really obvious my point was like #pavitr being an example of a spiderperson who is still successful without going through all these awful things #and you think despite all this stuff about the multiverse how does he feel about the chief being saved? hes probably rly grateful right?#i mean maybe something terrible will happen to him in the next movie but. yk what im saying #.lieii txt

Never gonna be over how unutterably pathetic and in dire need of ANY kind of companionship or friendship that doesn't revolve around their band the entirety of dethklok are. I love these horrible idiots who are so devoid of any real connections outside of themselves that they will latch onto anyone unfortunate enough to get too close to any one of them! And GOD help anyone they latch onto!!

#jay talkin #metalocalypse #im thinking about the doubles episode where they just seem genuinely happy to have 'friends'#who arent like. industry people. these men are so starved of any kind of connection #and it takes them four seasons a rock opera and a movie to realise they can find that in each other lmao #also thinking about how quickly any of them bond and become really intense abt anyone in their life #aka: NATHAN TOWARDS ABIGAIL. oh dear poor abigail oh dear #but also toki to damn near anyone and this goes for the entire band tbh as well they all do this at least once #and yeah its mainly cuz 10min eps mean u gotta progress stuff fast #but also holy shit. charles these boys want friends so bad u gotta set em up on playdates or smth #maybe it'd get some of their dumb stupid idiot energy out and they'd be better behaved. well. no they wldnt but... u can dream #i do think theres smth to be said that yeah all of dethklok are cool theyre metal superstars they r good at what they do #theyre also fucking prophesised saviours too and theyre also incredibly dangerous idiots and terrible ppl #but never forget that they are also. so so SO pathetic and isolated and dysfunctional #these men have not lived in the real world in decades and are disconnected and unsocial and spoilt and u can see that this does impact #the way they interact w the world! they need like. anything other than the band in their lives hah. they do need to pal around #im glad they find that in each other eventually!!#i dont want 2 sound like im babying them or infantilising them these r grown asshole idiot men but like. listen these shitheards r lonelyyy #everyone in their lives is like. assigned to be there and is set as beneath them in a class and workbased system #they dont rlly have ppl who r just there cuz they like em. outside of fans. and fans arent rlly a real connection yknow #their only connections come via work networking sex and violence and worship baby!!!! its fucked up!

Shitty drawing I scribbled out of thing that happened last night

:p

Actual gif clip from the movie of what I was half seeing btw:

I was getting like. Half third person seeing myself and half first person of it

#this drawing is terrible btw I just was trying to quickly scribble it out #sometimes you just gotta watch a movie and half accidentally end up possibly astral projecting into a part of it for a minute #was just falling or like?? backflipping?? in space for a minute #the movie was Suzume btw. I rewatched it #I went and saw it in theaters a year or so ago and it really fuzzed something in my head #so when I watched it again I decided to actually focus on that feeling and uh yeah idk maybe I was just imagining it or something #but I was listening to the song at the end credits because it’s a very powerful song to me and just kinda let it envelope me and #for a second I saw and felt myself falling in that endless sky of the ever-after #I mean. it is a realm where all space and time exists at once #and I do believe in the multiverse idea that any fictional content you ever see has to actually exist somewhere because of the multiverse #so idk maybe I actually went there for a second #or I’m just insane idk <3 #it’s a great movie btw I’d recommend watching it #otherkin #alterhuman #godkin #dragonkin #nonhuman #me art

my hot take about descendants is that NONE of the core four were ready for a relationship until maybe like, the third movie (rant in tags)

#they were still adjusting to living life without struggling to survive #a girl should not be jumping into a relationship the same week she just tried her first piece of non-rotten food lol #thats not to say I don't like the canon ships #but mal married literally the FIRST man she met in auradon. at 18.#and even as far as in descendants 2 we see them still struggling to adjust in different ways (mainly mal)#in d3 they seem to have fully assimilated into life in Auradon (as much as a VK can anyway)#so it makes sense for them to THEN seek out relationships if that's what they want.#but disney ofc wanted to act like romantic love just automatically fixes a person's problems ig?? as if a relationship wouldn't just be #added stress given the position the VKs were in in d1 #not to mention dating just like. wasnt a thing on the isle (mal even says this)#and I get that the kids are craving to be loved because their parents didn't gaf about them. But I wish the first movie focused more on the #finding that love in each other than romantically with outside people. a sort of “they had love in them all along” moment.#and then this fandom loves to argue about whether Jarlos/Janelos was 'rushed'. at least Carlos (and Jay +lonnie) waited a few months before #throwing themselves into the dating scene. Poor evie had her heart broken within like 3 days of being in Auradon. no wonder she was willing #to help steal the wand lol.#Anyway to wrap up this rant I didn't even mean to go on #I just think that kids who have spent the first 14-16 years of their lives fighting to survive and being put through continuous trauma on a #daily basis don't need dating right away. they need THERAPY.#if anyone here has seen stranger things its kinda an El and Mike situation were its like. the girl grew up in a lab and fell for the first #boy in regular society who was kinda nice to her lol. thats how I view Mal and Ben #same with doug and evie. he was nicer than chad but he still fell for her for her looks and she still fell for him because he was the first #guy in auradon to be genuinely interested in her. also evie had a whole “I dont need a prince” arc and ended up with a man anyway?#my problem with janelos was always that Carlos never quite worked out his mommy issues or his anxiety. I feel like he'd be afraid of hurtin #her even though that boy wouldn't hurt a fly. and we see Jane get pretty stressed out herself- have you ever been in a relationship where #both of you have anxiety? cause it either goes really well (you help keep each other calm) or REALLY terribly (you make each other spiral)#I actually really liked Lonnie and Jay (though I feel like it would've had a bigger payoff if she was in d3. not sure why she wasn't but I #wont dunk on that because it couldve been smth to do with her actress). I think Lonnie is someone who can 'handle' Jay well and match his #energy. And I like the idea of Jay finding someone he's loyal to after being commitment-phobic for 1 1/2 movies and the whole first book lo #and ofc I have to throw this in here: any auradon kid the VKs get with is never going to grasp even half of what they went through.#this doesnt mean they can't try to understand and be empathetic. but it will always cast a shadow on VK/AK relationships.

weirdly thinking about Interstellar makes me want to watch 2012 again

#let me stress this. 2012 is a pretty terrible movie. but I’ve watched it several times for unknowable reasons #also! I am not saying 2012 is by any means a better movie than Interstellar but the way certain themes are explored differently #is… actually pretty interesting #especially about how both films treat the ability to “save other people/humanity”#this makes no sense because it’s midnight and I’m tired but actually I might like to compare the films a lot more

I think some people need to less "separate the art from the artist" and more "separate the you from the art" ... If you know what I mean :)

#listen as long as you don't support jkr financially i don't *really* have a problem with you enjoying the books privately?#i've been meaning to re-read them myself just to see if they hold up (i doubt it but hey)#(and dw this is an old pirated version i have)#i never actually bought any of the books or merch #though i did see a few of the movies in theatres #but with as much empathy and compassion as i can extend to marauder fans #i still find myself uncomfortable around the notion of that '''woke''' version of the hp fandom #like at some point when the author is this terrible and you still have it in you to get attached to the source material?#idk #it just doesn't sit right with me i'm sorry #you're still incapable of saying to yourself 'no this is enough'#'we loved this but i cannot in good conscience enjoy this anymore'#i dunno #it just ... idk #maybe more self-discipline? maybe find something new? at that point it's either unhealthy or you don't actually care about the stuff #you claim to care about #like yeah i'll jump over all those actively dangerous and harmful things just to cling to my childhood obsession #i'll paint over the 'problematic' stuff but still play with the same dolls in the same world #idk ... it's complicated but i think i have the right to feel uncomforable around 'woke' hp fans either way

Matthew MacFayden’s Darcy is a fascinating thing to unpack because I don’t believe it succeeds as a performance of Darcy or even as a performance in general (it kind of can't) but there are layers to it and it's not simple.

#the layers are: he’s a good actor. it’s a bad script.#okay simple enough but then it’s a bad script with several lines ripped directly FROM ONE OF THE GREATEST NOVELISTS OF ALL TIME #and so for a second he’s a good actor saying a great line and tbh it works in flashes #LOVE when he asks Caroline if he can defer her raptures til his next letter #Darcy dryness IN THE ROOM WITH US FOR A MOMENT #but then he’s also forced to stand up too quick and say ‘she’s upstairs’ in response to Lizzy asking about Jane #And it’s just. Giving Blurting? And I know he’s supposed to be flustered but it’s so not Darcy so it’s ooc and also jarring #and then there's his terrible haircut and the ill-fitting clothes and the strange blocking and direction #which add their own layers of bad #but then he ISN'T a bad actor and he's not not responding to Keira's beauty #there are moments where it's like.... yeah! that's a man who knows how to look at a woman!#he is not not connected to her. i know what people mean when they say they feel it #there's an energy! some glances! some warmth!#but then there's the thing where it's like. a) i don't think that he's the right choice for Darcy even in a better script #b) the script doesn't understand and has no interest in Darcy's true character and goes for the shy puppy/awkward/tumblr take on him #so both of those things are happening at once!!!!!!!!#and yeah it's just kind of so emblematic of the movie as a whole #not all the ingredients are bad but they are not well utilized at all #and also sometimes they are the wrong (good) ingredient #anyway do not mean to hurt any feelings or start any discourse i just am always trying to explain this to myself #and i don't think i've ever come so close tbh!!!!!#this was in my drafts from last night so i thought i would share it now #because I've always felt how much is wrong and how much is wrong as an Austen adaptation and yet there are glances #(that one gifset of them at Pemberley where they're talking about her playing and he's like 'no i said quite well')#(and she smiles and then he smiles and the light is golden and it's !!!!!)#but then there are moments that don't even work by that isolated measure!!!!#that just feel so weird and wrong!!!!! again. even by a sentimental measure #maybe even ESPECIALLY by a sentimental measure #so i'm always trying to unpack it more clearly (joe wright the clear villain being one takeaway) thank you for listening etc. more at 11.#2005 liveblog

Gente, what do you listen/watch while you draw, for me is hindi movie's soundtrack or murder cases... anyone else?

Of course I listen other music, like glee, you know real music, but I'm on my Bollywood Era right know, and I love it.

Murder cases are my fav specially from DinoVlogs, though I also listen to movie reviews or analysis.

This is my subtle way of telling you I am a little weird and also trying to draw again, until now...its been hard, but hopefully I would share some drawing with you soon.

(Also love the Tom Holland LipSync but it distract me too much, if you dont know what am I talking about you dont dereve to know)

#useless info dump #me trying to get out there again #by out there I mean the internet #I hate outside #what a terrible place #any one else watch #hindi movies #?#is a tag so maybe?

Walt Disney Animation Studios coming through once again with one of the least inspiring trailers I have ever seen in my life =‘) Does stuff happen in this movie? It’s a secret!

Iiiii really don’t like the way their press copy is written up either, just in terms of, like ... lol, y’all wouldn’t ever develop a whole feature film just to tie it in with Disney100, right - develop a marketing concept about the Disney Wishing Star and work backwards like the whole thing was a brand campaign on steroids, right? ....right?

And just to be totally clear: I fully expect the actual film to be totally charming and sweet, and I expect to personally enjoy it, I just dislike how it’s being presented. But probably part of that is due to being an old sourpuss. <3

#lol this is about Disney's Wish #I'm just not here to neg up anybody's tags #This ain't a new problem either by any means #Disney Animation consistently rolls out terrible trailers #Either bafflingly unrepresentative of what the film is actually like or hyperfocused on the single most annoying gag in the movie or both #And they love to hype up Disney's history to the point of putting just a cruel amount of pressure on each new film #Just let them breathe man #But that's the name of the game in marketing I guess #Maybe this approach has just knocked it out of the park with people who aren't me over the past decade idk

just realised something random: I've always been kinda sad that there isn't any media that my parents liked and shared with me, that sort of thing. I know of things that they like, of course, but it was never something they showed me or anything.

and I just realised that's because it was never something nice, something fun, something they wanted to share - no, they only ever brought up things that they liked as a way to say that everything I liked was bad.

#like.... my dad loved musicals. but he only ever mentioned them when he was telling me how bad everything I like (and basically all modern #music really) is.#my mother likes whatever songs are played on the one radio station she likes #literally that's her taste in music. always has been.#but still everything I've ever liked is just awful.#especially movies and shows. I'd try to show her things I was watching when I was younger. I'd record episodes on VHS specifically to show #her when I'd visit her next.#and she never said a single nice thing about any of it #and then I *had to* watch movies that she liked with her because she'd say she was tired of watching all this stuff.#so it was never a good thing.#idk I just feel like that really sucks. first of all it's just mean as fuck. but also like. I'll never get to listen to a song and think 'aw #my dad loved that song!'. it's only ever 'he hated this one. said this one was terrible. hated this singer's voice.' etc #and my mother's shitty comments have ruined things that I used to love (can't watch corpse bride anymore because it was my favourite when I #was like 15 and I begged her to watch it with me and to this day she brings that up as an example of what a great mother she is - 'I watched #that HORRIBLE movie about the dead people with you and didn't complain about it once'#bitch you complained the whole damn time and you have been complaining about it for 17 YEARS NOW.#ugh shitty people shouldn't have children.

you know these past several days i’ve been thinking like. well surely there must be a point if i watch this movie enough times that i can unlock the secret brain chemical that makes me think it’s good. a lot of people think this is good i should be able to understand that if i just like open my mind or something. frankly i think i’m beginning to see the outline of the key to all of this and it lies in having to simply put the movie on and not pause it to bitch about some detail every ten minutes. and then also you have to approach it with love in your heart and of course it helps if you’re all consumingly obsessed with some guys who could even slightly be compared to this movie. and then well it’s still bad. but maybe tomorrow it will finally be good. one way to find out!

#i didn’t pause it a million times when i watched it today but i also didn’t Watch it so much as i listened to it while i colored. so.#maybe the key is that you can’t look at it too much #because like well it is kinda ugly. not terrible i’ve seen worse but like.#it looks like a made for tv romcom airing on cbs sunday night 8pm that may or may not be christmas themed #if you don’t understand what i mean by that just watch the movie and then later watch any movie that has ever been considered for #awards in cinematography. and then you will begin to piece it together #beth.txt #i’m being mean it’s not really that ugly. it’s just like.#it’s just not like. visually compelling. there’s nothing really new and interesting going on. looks wise.

yk every time i see a post about somebody wishing bad things on another person i think ‘dirt-strider to kiryu’ you’ve broken me brain

You see a post thats like i want to stick him in time prison so that he gets so bored he starts breaking his own bones to get even a hint of stimulation and its tagged me at kiryu and you scroll down and its a post thats like i want to feed him chips from my cupped hands like a wild stallion and its also tagged me at kiryu also hiiiiiiiii

#Thanks for the ask !#i wont lie to you i want to do yo kiryu what they did to the family in reddot story the pancake family #his life is a bit too easy i want to give him more obstacles thats why im kidnapping him and breaking my little prince’s ankles and #releasing him in a forest in another country altogether and he has to survive with his injuries until they heal and they will heal wrong and #it will forever hurt to walk now and also when he sees another human being now he will always flinch and he has nightmares every night about #being feverish and starving to death and years into his recovery i meet him again and invite him to watch a movie with me but when i put the #tape in its actually just a highlight reel of his time in the wilderness and he gets scared but he cant move and its because i gave him some #tea earlier and oh this ? its laced with drugs. and he sits blearily beside me and im holding his head up so he watches the screen and he #recalls every terrible thing thats happened to him i put the tv on full volume so he can relive the leaves and twigs cracking under his #hands and knees as hes dragging himself across the forest floor and and his clipped shouts of pain whenever his broken bones catch on a root #and his enraged screaming as he grapples foxes and coyotes that are trying to scavenge the food he painstakingly gathered and he can listen #to the way his voice devolves into something unrecognisable and hes wondering how i got this footage but then he realises this scene is #familiar hes on his last legs and he hears footsteps approach not those of an animal but of a person. he looks at the screen and he sees his #own face staring into the camera wild eyed and filthy and that on the other side of the camera is the hitchhiker who ‘found’ him and he #realises it was me who did this. i could have rescued him at any time the gratefulness he feels to that kind samaritan curdles in his chest #it comes with the withering realisation it was all a game and the one who put him through it all was right beside him and i laugh and put my #hand around his shoulder and ask if he liked the movie and he fights his paralysis and he grips me by the neck and throws me to the ground #and he says you .. you ... and i frown apologetically and say That bad huh ? well we can put on another. and he cant even say words anymore #hes so angry that he grips my neck and he strangles me and the whole time my face gets purple im laughing and laughing and laughing at him #anyway thats one of my greatest fantasies its a fantasy because i couldnt do that to the poor guy im not that mean but i do want him to kill #me and for me to deserve it. very important that i started this fight and that he ends it thats what i want to have ... and also to like #cuddle and stuff ... because i like him ...

look i love clownin harry styles too. but the reviews saying he was super bad in the policeman are not true. like he wasn’t perfect and they definitely could’ve hired a better actor but he wasn’t horrendous.

#harry styles #my policeman #i do in fact love harry styles #but i love clownin him too #but he honestly wasn’t that bad #like i wasn’t expecting a lot but he gave more than i was expecting #i haven’t seen any of his other movies #and i probably will not watch any of them #so yeah i was surprised that he really wasn’t that bad #like honestly if he practiced he’d actually be good #i think people were just trying to be mean which valid but he wasn’t terrible #i was expecting him a lot worse with the way y’all were talking about him #and then he was just okay #also tbh i found the movie to be boring ???#but that’s not hs fault #i was just ready for it to be over #op
