Sources say the group will be living together with their manager and other staff to focus on their songs. The location of this group house is undisclosed until further notice.

Threads: Our Tapestry of Love

Movies watched in 2024

Threads: Our Tapestry of Love (2020, Japan)

Director: Takahisa Zeze

Writer: Tamio Hayashi (based on a song by Miyuki Nakajima)

Mini-review:

This was good, but I can't say I loved it, cause I expected something very different. While it's beautifully shot and brilliantly acted, the script didn't fully work for me. For starters, the leads share like 30 minutes of screentime at most. Their individual storylines are more than interesting enough, but they're barely interconnected. There were so many times where I felt like I was watching two different movies that had been sort of mashed up together. The film is clearly going for the star-crossed lovers route, but for it to work you need to give the characters way more interactions than they have here, and I don't necessarily mean being on screen at the same time. Anyway Threads: Our Tapestry of Love is a solidly made movie, but these tropes have way better iterations elsewhere.

[personaconcept]

Was fucking around on the internet, found this group chat creator, decided to roll with it. This conversation was one I'd played around with some time ago.

I don't think I've revealed it before, but yes, their group would be called The Dásos Society! This is probably not how the conversation would go in story, hopefully getting to this point BEFORE Shinju, though not a guarantee. With each new character they would try a different name, but I think Masahiko would probably broach the idea of a society as soon as he was asked for an opinion.

Is...Is that...?

Yukari Koime...Makoto told me of this getup, but it's just as tacky as he described it.

Spare me the pleasantries and preamble, Kyoko. I'm not the kind of girl who does that sort of thing.

Even with Junko Enoshima's mind sharing yours?

To be honest, if I had a say, we'd be doing this very differently!

If you're going to kill us, might as well get it over with! We're not going down without a fight

I imagine not...

*Yukari points towards the truck.

I know that Makoto Naegi and Kuripa Kurafto are in there. I will give you one chance. Surrender them to me so that I may indoctrinate the former into the Killing Game, and finish off the latter! Same goes for you, Kyoko Kirigiri.

I'll give you two guesses as to what my answer to that is.

*She confidently steps forward, cocking her gun.

Makoto Naegi may be a moron who tries to shoulder every burden by himself, but he's still my husband, and it's those qualities that made me fall in love with him in the first place!

He may have lost his way, but the horrors you're bringing to this cursed world will be averted by that power of his. You'll have to force him out of my lifeless, cold hands!

Then die you shall...!

_______________________________________________________

...

...Ngh...

...H...Huh...?

*Makoto stands up, opening his eyes, blinking a few times and trying to figure out where he is. To his confusion, he is no longer in Zetsubou's base.

Wh...

Where the hell AM I!?

*Seeming to have awoken in some kind of empty cinema theater, he stands up, brushes himself off, and looks around some more.

???: Well, this is a surprise.

Huh?

*Makoto whirls around once he hears a voice behind him, despite not having seen anyone initially.

???: They say that there's variety. But sometimes it really does feel like they play the same movies over and over again in here...Life really does just keep running on repeat. Despair is always running rampant, and it's always up to Hope to stop it...Like a long running movie franchise that grows stale after a while.

What do you mean? Who are you!? Where am I!?

???: ...Heheh...

Wh-What?

???: Sorry...It's just...been a while since I had a student ask me a question. I just got swept up in nostalgia.

*The figure stands up and turns around...

!!!??

...It's nice to see you again...Makoto Naegi...

Chisa...Yukizome...!!?

A World We Weren't Supposed To See: Part 1.

Sounds like it's getting bad out there...

*The transit truck with Makoto and Kuripa still holed up inside it continues to drive through the outskirts of the factory, hoping to regroup with Seiko, Mikan and the rest of the medical team.

This whole place...it's like a nightmare that we can't wake up from...

Kouji...How's Kuripa?

It's taken some effort, but I've managed to stabilize his condition. Especially since I know now what I'm dealing with.

He's going to be really angry with me once he wakes up.

Why did he keep that all a secret? Isn't it pretty important to know that stuff?

He wouldn't tell me why. Just that he had it.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure why Kuripa wanted to hide his CIPA either. But as his friend, I respected his wishes.

...Well, at least he's stable. The real problem is...

...

Still nothing from Makoto?

Aside from a few whimpers and whispers. Even then, the whimpers I'm hearing aren't exactly promising.

What do you mean?

It's a lot of him just...cussing himself. Like he despises himself simply for being alive.

But he's at no risk of dying, right? That's a plus.

Yes, aside from his current mental state, he's very much physically fit and healthy, save for a few bruises. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can wake him up with a bit of effort.

Really!?

Yeah...but...*sigh*

I don't really know what that Shirogane woman did to him, but she's a nasty piece of work...!

The problem isn't his current physical state, but his mental state. I'm no psychiatrist, but...It seems as though Makoto is a walking corpse; I can no longer read anything in his mind or soul. Although he is still alive, it seems as though his true self has vanished.

...

Oh, Makoto, please wake up...!

Can't you guys use Mitarai's brainwashing tech to return him back to normal? Worked pretty well for most of the world.

KOICHI!

What!?

Mr Kizakura, show some tact! After the Final Killing Game, do you really believe we would resort to the same plot as Kazuo Tengan!?

Besides, we're not going to force Ryota to make another brainwashing video. The last time he did it, he only did so because he felt he needed to.

There has to be another way.

Alright, alright...It was just a suggestion. A bad one clearly.

Still, I'm only trying to help. This guy is crucial to the worlds survival, as well as everyone else.

[thepageofhopes]

Does anyone still do these anymore? Either way I updated my fav character bingo since it's been a bit. Characters under the cut (numbers from left to right, top to bottom)

Ink!Sans, Underverse. Scene chosen here is because he looks cute, but the cut off speech bubble is him being nonchalant about betraying all of his friends

Sayaka Miki, Madoka Magica. It's hard to find a good happy picture of her so Magia Record gacha animation will have to do.

Utena Hiiragi/Magia Baiser, Gushing over Magical Girls. Can't go wrong with the phenomal 'are you sorry' scare face.

Mion Sonozaki, Higurashi. I love her especially in her goofier times.

Subaru Natsuki, Re:Zero. Scene chosen here is one of my favorite moments of him from Season 1, the moment where he chooses to throw away his chance at a peaceful life to save those literally trying to kill him.

Gamzee Makara, Homestuck. Scene chosen because it's what sold me on Homestuck and him in general.

Rui Kamishiro, Project Sekai. While I could use the upgraded pretty cards, the moment where he coldly defends his friends is my favorite moment of him in the entire game so far.

Bete Noire, Glitchtale. Not the scene that made me want to cosplay her, but still one of the scariest looks in the animation.

Suika Ibuki, Touhou. I sadly can't put a gif of her swaying back and forth due to being drunk af, but imagine it there.

Azula, ATLA. Gotta love the smirk as she's captured.

Kaiji Ito, Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. Had to get a scene of him whith those nice scars, they really show his detrmination through everything.

Keiichi Maebara, Higurashi . While I haven't seen Gou, this is a great shot of him. I love his determination and trust in his friends even in the darkest moments.

Kallen Kouzuki, Code Geass. The scene here is her about to use the Guren on Orange-kun, which is one of her best moments season 1 and is just a great shot of her in general.

Rose Lalonde, Homestuck. I actually quite like her Pesterquest art, and it screenshots the best.

Junko Enoshima, Dangan Ronpa. Her reveal and arrogant form is my favorite of her sprites.

Helen Richardson, Magnus Archives. Great depiction by theoldkyokodied since there's no official image!

Undyne, Undertale. Her True Hero form is what sold me on the game, and was also my first true boss I faced since I did a genocide run first.

Katara, ATLA. Love this scene where she confront the one who killed her mom and shows just how powerful she is.

Kaguya Shinomiya, Love is War. Hard to choose a pic here since there's two sides to her personality and I love them both, but I really love the fireworks episode and her escape is great.

Tahani Al-Jamil, The Good Place. She's so pretty but also her arc and personal troubles really resonate with me.

Kabru, Dungeon Meshi. Great colors and expression from the anime here, really showcasing his manipulative edge.

Tsukasa Tenma, Project Sekai. Very Subaru like character, I love how much he grows through the game and the moment where they get the entire park together to put on the huge event is probably my favorite sekai moment.

Lord Dominator, Wander over Yonder. I do love me a villainess who loves being evil, and the scene here of her manipulating hater is great.

Lelouch Vi Britannia, Code Geass. While the scene here is of his more evil/manipulative side, I actually really love him because of his humanizing moments.

Hey I loooove your stuff! What are some other artists, visual, audio, and text based, who inspire you? I hope to be able to create something as evocative as your work one day myself <3

Thank you!! There are so many! In terms of really direct and really significant, enduring influences on my writing style, or approach to subject matter & narrative, or overall "aesthetic" what springs to mind is:

The short stories of Kelly Link, Clive Barker, M. Rickert, Elizabeth Hand, Joyce Carol Oates, Tanith Lee, Steve Rasnic Tem, Melanie Tem, Karen Russell, and Ray Bradbury

The early 1990s horror novels of Kathe Koja and Poppy Z. Brite/Billy Martin

Shirley Jackson's entire body of literary work

Porpentine's 2010s twine games & fiction from the same time

Junji Ito's comics

Emily Carroll's comics

Lynda Barry's fiction and comics

John Darnielle's music/songwriting with the Mountain Goats

Sarah Manguso's poetry

The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle

In terms of artists/works I only encountered within the past few years, but am already feeling as "big influences" on my work in a similar way to the above:

Sayaka Murata's fiction, particularly her novel Earthlings

Samuel R. Delany's short fiction (I hope to tackle Dhalgren sometime in the next year!)

Max Graves' comic What Happens Next

Hal Schrieve's fiction and comics

Leo Fox's comics and art

Never Angeline North's fiction

Robert Aickman's short stories

Freshwater, by Akwaeke Emezi

I listen to a lot of music while writing. Recent favorites include Uyarakq, Guided By Voices, Nascent by Alexander Panos, Big Thief, Owen Pallet, and my sister Louise.
