"i think fiction has to be 100% morally correct, but i - a real person - purposely search for content i despise to insult other real people people & ruin their very real day so that i can feel better about myself!!"

i love having gin and dazai as two of my favorite bsd characters bc like. yes i want to see them interact with each other; but no i don’t think they would like each other. i think gin should resent dazai for how he treated their brother while also acknowledging it is only because of dazai that either of them escaped the slums and i think dazai should know gin is ready to slit his throat at the drop of a hat and be appropriately wary of them because of that. i think there should be days dazai regrets letting gin join the mafia alongside their brother and i think there should be days gin wonders if the slums would have been a preferable life in comparison to dazai’s treatment towards akutagawa. i think gin should wish mori sent them to assassinate dazai after he left the mafia and i think dazai should know that if mori wanted to send someone after him, it would’ve been gin. i think gin should have an air of confidence around dazai that most in the mafia don’t because they know their talent does not come from an ability and therefore cannot be taken away with a mere touch and i think dazai should resent them for that—mostly because they’re right. i think they should hate the other for the pure chance of having known one another at a young age, because they’ve seen parts of one another that now stay carefully hidden beneath a hundred masks. i think gin’s name sign for dazai should be one irrevocably entwined with his tendency towards cruelty and i think dazai should watch atsushi use it with kindness in his eyes. i think gin and dazai can play nice with one another, but neither will like it, and they’ll both know it’s nothing more than a flimsy act

Wait wait hold up. Arthur admits he was suicidal, and the only thing that stopped him was how much his parents' suicide hurt and not wanting anyone else to hurt the same way he did. In more recent events, he's also said that there is literally no one left alive who cares about him

Except John.

John is his reason for living.

GOD i love chris and ashley sosososososo much but man ALIVE did i forget their scooby-doo segment literally plays out like

ashley: s-so we're saying the guy who printed out those newspapers is the same as the one who hooked up the cameras, right?

chris: yeah, i guess so?

ashley: doesn't it...doesn't it seem weird? like...he's created this story for us and he's just watching us run through it, and...it's like some kind of...of...fucking experiment!

me, eyes narrowed: good thing. that doesn't sound like. anyone we know. in our personal lives. or. immediate. circle. of. friends.

[not 30 seconds later]

chris: EUGH it looks like a grindhouse movie in here!

me, eyes very wide: GOOD THING. WE DON'T KNOW ANYONE. WHOSE FAMILY - SAY FATHER, PERHAPS - MAKES. MOVIES. LIKE. THOSE.

i love them. i love them so much. i would do anything for them. they are in shock and having the worst night of their lives.

Obsessed with the way the passenger (2023) juxtaposes the incredibly serious with the comically absurd. And they exist simultaneously, never contradicting each other. I love how it manifests in the visual language of the movie, and is also at the core of the story! I think it's so important to the ethos of the movie that the genesis of Randy's life-altering trauma is sort of ridiculous. It being ridiculous does not change the emotional impact of it on Randy, and it's still treated with tenderness and gravity.

The sharpness of the juxtaposition feels sort of surreal or jarring at certain moments, but I think it's actually part of what makes the movie hit a real, emotional nerve. The thing that's been haunting you for years does not always seem so obvious out of context. Or sometimes the thing haunting you IS so obviously unspeakably bad that it's going to kill you, and the only way you can talk about it is to say something as trivial as, "I wanted to be a giraffe when I grew up."

A fuzzy yellow sweater and childhood sexual abuse. A lifetime of denying yourself agency or personhood, and a woman with a color-coordinated eyepatch for every outfit. A brutal workplace shooting and bedazzled stuffed animals.

Which speaking of, it's also why, in my opinion, the epilogue does work. It reverses the dynamic from serious with a side of comical to comical with a side of serious. Our focus is on the eraser game, the sillier part of Randy's traumatic story, while the lasting impact of violence lurks quietly in the background (Randy's still physically injured, he's still got the jacket). And then the last shot of the stuffed animals is the *chefs kiss* on top of the whole thing!

personally think odo and jadzia were not paired up enough in ds9. there should've been at least one bottle episode a season in which odo tries to solve a crime as a put-upon inspector lestrade and dax trots around with a magnifying-glass, catching everyone off guard and having insane chemistry with every middle-aged woman with a gun.

I will never blame Mal for the decision she made in D3 because I will never think that it made sense for that to be her decision in the first place. It's really that simple.

Rose just dashing off a weirdly good poem about puppet sex is there nothing she can't do.

Also there's the origin of the flying off the handle gag but can we take a second to enjoy Rose's punchline? Please and thank you.

god, Exceptional Risk gets me so much, this guy isnt even an avatar but the way he TALKS about the prisoners he "guarded" is far more chilling than any of the supernatural shit
