#its my comfort film

(mild spoilers? It came out in 2016 you had your chance)

Passengers(2016) was literally such a good movie and I'm tired of the slander. Yeah he woke her up. It was a bad thing to do, I'm not saying it wasn't but Jesus Christ people, this man was doomer to die alone, never speak to another person again(Arthur does not count, do not @ me) to never feel the touch of another human being again. Isolation will drive insane, it will break you.

Do I have a problem with the time frame? Yes and no but that's another post.

People need to stop shitting on this movie because of the crux of the plot. There wouldn't be a goddamn movie without one 🙃

Also much of this movie is very well thought out, smartly written, and oozes creativity. Aurora is a well thought out character with goals, opinions and a personality. I'd argue she's more developed than Jim. There's so much detail put into sets, aesthetic, and everything. The sound track? Oh my god ✨🤌✨ absolutely one of my favorites OSTS.

It delves into that really hard question that is: would you do if you were the only person in the universe, without making you spiral into existentialism.

It shows one man's decision and answer to that question. It in NO WAY glorifies OR condones what he did. He shows remarkable guilt and does all he can possibly do to make it up to Aurora, including accepting his fate when he learns he can put her back to sleep.

Y'all need to get off your soapbox and appreciate this movie more because there's so much to like about it. It's genuinely my second favorite film and it's only below Jurassic park because that movie has childhood nostalgia.

They share one brain cell and only use it to love their friends.

I saw the TV glow is so horrific to me because I fear that's my future. you find out who you really are. not who you're told you are, who you really are meant to be. you have someone who accepts you for who you are. maybe even multiple people. and yet, you bury it deep in your chest out of fear. lock it up and throw away the key. but eventually, you are crushed under the weight of what could've been. you're drowning. you were born to be someone else. you ARE someone else. you yell I'm dying! can't you see! but other people were born who they were always supposed to be. you're weren't. it's killing you. nobody can see you. there's still time. until there isn't.

Kong and Suko Headcanons + Shimo Part 2

Since quite a few of you enjoyed part 1 of this post, I finally came up with some more head canons! (With a bit of fluffy Kong x Shimo tossed in there because that ship has grown on me quite a bit as of late. I think it’s cute and creates room for tons of wholesome interactions for both parties)

Also also, I have been wanting to write a short story featuring these three ever since I saw the movie all the way back in March. I haven’t had time or energy for it, but now that I’ve started writing again and have began taking meds for my ADHD, I might release it soon! :D Nothing too long or crazy, mostly just fluff and hurt/comfort regarding things I’ve discussed in this post as well as the other part. With, of course, some underlying conflict.

Shimo is harshly underdeveloped in terms of social interaction. Unlike Suko, she values her own personal space. Kong tries his best to take things slow and offers her affectionate pats every once in a while to show she’s appreciated and acknowledged in his space. Once she’s gotten used to the touch, she’ll usually headbutt Kong’s shoulder as a way of saying “I want to be acknowledged.”

Shimo flinches whenever any ape raises their fist, thinking they’re going to strike her. As a defense, her body automatically freezes the area surrounding her. Consequently, she hates loud, sudden noises as well. Suko and Kong are the main ones who help calm her down.

Not only are Shimo’s social skills underdeveloped, but so are her communication skills. When she speaks, most of it comes out in a broken speech pattern. (Think of it like how people used to speak hundreds of years ago- Shimo- compared to modern day- most other intelligent Kaiju). She more than likely speaks in the third person out of habit. Kong does daily lessons with her to get her up to speed and make conversations between her and the pack easier.

Suko likes to tamper with/examine various machinery that Illene and the other humans bring to Hollow Earth. Sometimes it can be hard for Monarch to get things done with the little ape rummaging about.

Shimo was the one that fell first. She never had a healthy relationship with any creature since the Skar King imprisoned her. But with Kong, she was free to do what she pleased. Above all, she was safe. She watched him turn the pack into a community where everyone was respected and cared for, despite all obstacles.

Shimo feels guilty for the nerve damage her frostbite did to Kong’s hand, despite the fact that it happened under the Skar King’s control. Kong has assured he harbors no ill will towards her, but Shimo can’t shake the idea that deep down he resents her. Sometimes she’ll grab the glove in her mouth and playfully nibble on the metal (without damaging it) to try and make light of things.

I think their difference in habitat is kind of cool. Shimo is drawn to Kong because of his warmer body temperature, while Kong sits near her if the humid heat of the lava gets too unbearable. And I find it ironic given how in G v K he hated the snow, but spending time with Shimo made him hate it a little less.

Suko loves chewing on ice as a snack. Shimo is his infinite ice cube spawner.

Shimo will occasionally forget his how big she is and flop down onto her friends. (She’s like a giant Great Dane trying to sit on their human’s lap)

Suko has a habit of tackling people when he’s very excited. As stated at the beginning of this post, he lacks any understanding of personal space. This is, in part, due to past trauma of losing his caretaker. It is a huge reason as to why he refuses to sleep alone at night. He’s afraid that if he’s not by someone, he’ll lose them.

Shimo forms little ice figures that she gives to Kong as a gift. It’s her main way of showing affection.

Kong likes to take sticks and draw various symbols and figures into the mud. More often than not, Shimo will rest her head atop his and watch the process. He gets used to it over time and sometimes forget she’s even there.

Kong isn’t used to having others around or forming friendships with people outside of Jia and Illene. Having so many of the pack look up to him is subtly intimidating and puts a weight on his shoulders that he hadn’t had since before the storm on Skull Island. He also doesn’t immediately catch onto or understand the fact that Shimo likes him (Mothra is probably the one who notices first. She likes to keep tabs between the surface world and Hollow Earth). This is mostly a joke but what if Suko tries to set Shimo and Kong up on a Kaiju date— which is just them going hunting together or something. Both of them are oblivious to it.

Shimo becomes increasingly overprotective of Kong and Suko as time passes. In dire situations when Godzilla and Kong have to meet up to stop a threat, Shimo will snap at Godzilla if he tries to provoke or pick on Kong. Godzilla is the Alpha, but Shimo isn’t too intimidated by him. Though she lacks most motivation to fight anymore, she’ll still stand up for those she has gotten close to.

So remember how I said previously that there were only three movies that have made me cry? Yeah. Four. There are now four movies that have made me cry.

I know Dood is played as being rather young mentally/emotionally in comparison to the Teens, with them being very curious and impressionable. But part of me really likes the idea that they're holding back a little and in the back of their mind they're like " I can't fucking let these guys know I ate their great grandparents. And if they find out about the NeverWinter Incident I'm FUCKED."
