I see what you did with the ending, nice. But also,I think you are totally rigth

So, I watched Remainder (2015), because I'm a simple gal who enjoys watching Tom Sturridge play various shades of unhinged gremlin on my screen and, I have my own theory :

I don't think the black out at the end is the fuse to a new loop and that it starts all over again. I think the black out is Tom's death. That Tom's been dying the whole time.

At the beginning, he's declared clinically dead, and I don't think he recovers actually. Rather, the movie is a 1 hour and 43 minutes-long stretch of the few seconds between the accident and Tom's actual death, throughout which his 'life flashes before his eyes', as the established expression go. Except part of his brain is already destroyed from the squashing, and the memories stored in it are erased, and Tom has to do with what is left for his 'life review'.

Except he does not, he's terrified of death (as human beings usually are), and he takes refuge in this ultimate surge of brain activity, lets it delude him that it is, in fact, reality. Thus, it makes no sense to him that parts of his memories are missing, and he fixates on these and endeavours to recover them, like he ought to be able to do since his brain is intact and he believes himself to have already gone through the process of, and succeeded in recovering his motive functions.

And stubborn, sort of patient, repeat has been the method to recover his motive functions, it ought to be for his memories as well.

He 'fixes' his life ー or, his memories of it ー as he goes too. I don't think he was running away from the bank robbery when he's squashed at the very beginning. The first and last scene of the movie are nearly identical, except for one detail : in the first scene, when he looks back to Catherine, she smiles and goes down the stairs towards him. She does not in the last scene.

I'm not sure what exactly was happening before the accident, but it's reasonable to infer from the informations provided throughout the movie that he found out Catherine was 'a real cunt', to quote Greg, packed his things and stormed out. That is why she's so hopeful when he turns and look at her in the first scene.

Except that is a failure, and not something Tom's unconscious want to replay last before his death, nor something he wants to go through ー again ー at all. So he reaches for something else, and grasps the memory of the news of Christopher's death. I don't think he was actually close to Christopher, but his death is 'glorious' to Tom, much more so than his own. And this might not be his own life, but if he can piece motive functions, and memories back from oblivion, surely with enough practice he can make someone else's memory his. So when he reaches the end of his life's tape, Catherine doesn't go down the stairs hopefully towards him because now he's the one who hurt her, he's dangerous, and she fears him, fears what he's capable of. The other way around than what actually happened. And much better.

Plus now, he's turned the flashing of his life before his eyes as death creeps on him into a whole other thing. Respite. Reprieve. A second chance. And surely more chances will be granted to him. Now he's in a time loop that will resume 'until the universe runs down'. Now he's endless.

Except he's not.

You've made tons of iconic Starscream and Megatron art, how do you see Galvatron and Cyclonus's dynamic? Would you draw how they greet each other perhaps?

tragically I don’t know much about them or their dynamic at all but I think it would be really funny if they had very different ideal greeting styles

Day 13 - Author turned friend

Putain de touriste by Hypallepse

Social anxiety prevents me from calling anyone friend unless explicitly stated, but me commenting on one's of @hypallepse's fic did end up in tumblr DM. This is not this fic however, I'm keeping this one for another prompt :3

But it gives me the perfect opportunity to talk about this fic !! As a Parisian and Goreconte fan, I lost my mind when I found it. I regrettably relate too much to Dundy considering my reaction to tourists in public transport lol... But honestly, it's just so fucking funny. I just love how they both have the biggest crush on each other but are still ">:(" because they're dumb (affectionate). I wish I could go on more on this fic but it lives in my mind rent free (which is rare in Paris lol). Imagining my favorite ship living in my city is straight up pure hapiness <3

[rough translation would be "This guy is so fucking hot" but with the worse twitter slang]

[toshiitea]

Bro who told you that,, draw Miku!!

I was told people on Tumblr prefer personal art over fanart. I'm not sure if that's true, but here are my chronically online OC's Elly and Velly anyway. I treat their story as if it's an already existing piece of media

Unpopular opinion de ouf mais j'aime trop faire la bise et qu'on me fasse la bise, pas à n'importe qui non plus mais j'aime trop ce moment de ta relation avec quelqu'un où t'es "bon bah j'ai envie de coller ta joue contre la mienne et faire semblant d'embrasser l'air pour te dire bonjour", insane ritual, tu embrasses sans embrasser.

Et j'aime encore plus quand c'est vraiment des ami.e.s/famille et la bise devient de vrais bisous sur la joue, genre allez on arrête de faire semblant, je t'aime trop pour ça.

i live for the gregstophe lovey dovey hcs can i please have some

HELL YEAH i can give you lovey dovey gregstophe anon!!!!!!!!! 👀 let’s do it

I’ve spoken about it before a little bit but LETTERS….. They write overly dramatic, lowkey sappy romantic letters to each other constantly. It started bc Gregory likes to write letters (his ass absolutely owns so many fountain pens and fancy paper) and Christophe is more likely to truly express himself when he’s not actually talking (and writing things down doesn’t count). Originally they actually send the letters to one another but it doesn’t stop when they start living together. They just leave letters for one another throughout the house. Sometimes hand deliver them from a room over. Even when friends are over at their house 😅

I don’t picture them being the type to really like texting but if they were they’d absolutely send long, windy, sappy texts to one another just like the letters. Which shocks any of their friends if they ever see their phones bc Gregory usually texts straightforward and to the point while Christophe rarely responds outside of “k” and emojis.

While I do believe their real names are more sacred/romantic to one another than pet names, the way they call each other by pet names constantly (and the way they say it, often very gentle and loving 🥺) just gives off the most codependent couple vibes… and god forbid they go and use each other’s ACTUAL names… everyone in the room feels like the biggest third wheel ever

It’s really easy in general for both of them to forget there’s others around them once they start dating. They’ll keep giving each other looks, make playful jabs, inch closer, only really talk to one another, etc. In fact they’ll sometimes appear a little miffed if someone else just speaks, reminding them of their presence.

They insist on a kiss for good luck before one of them goes off to do something (usually something dangerous but sometimes something just mildly tricky). Sometimes they can make it a quick cute thing but if it’s not a very dangerous/immediately pressing situation, they can get caught up kissing, insisting on just one more for extra good luck 🥰

My favorite professor in the world made a surprise appearance in my life today and just told me I can use the informal you with her..... Master.... I am not ready, I am not worthy..... don't look at me. (I think of myself of her philosophical disciple she didn't ask me to do this or call her Master this is unwanted and non consented on her part. I am insane.)

Me when I was a child and was forced to give a kiss as a thank you for a gift on my birthday

I need to invent a time machine and ask that one French girl I met at like 16. why she full on kissed me on the cheek goodbye and not the whole la bise we’re talking lips to cheek

[hiimcanadia]

Also the other thing is that I feel like the process of learning a language is actually really fun? Like I took a year of French in hs and knowing/speaking a little French is cool but I absolutely loved getting to learn and especially finding out how the language is influenced by culture and hearing my teacher talk about accents and regional differences and all those super fascinating little things like it was one of my favorite classes ever
