okay but Kola saving Mills not once but twice ⊠KILLED me
#all the reviews are like âŠ. But what was the point#and itâs like. Love???? Understanding ?????? Basic human compassion???????#the dinosaurs barely existed and barely registered in a compelling way but why should that matter#lol#no really. when your story is about adam driver trying to take care of and communicate with a little girl#who doesnât speak the same language as him and is lost and traumatized#and then in doing so is also cared for#like. the movie is about grief!#and that thread is consistent all the way through. they hit all the beats#and when she reaches for his (ridiculously oversized) hand at the end as they leave earth#itâs just like. right. they made it through#anyway itâs about fathers and daughters#(they kind of low-key didnât need his real daughter tbh. the story would have worked even more stripped down)#(but as Nina correctly pointed out the audience would not have been able to as comfortably interpret the fact that this relationship#was fathers and daughters#also like !!!!! there were so many real moments#like when she ran back to save the struggling baby dinosaur and he was like NO but then came and helped her anyway#and when she made him put the flower in his hair#and when he was about to drown in quicksand or whatever and she finds the tree branch#they were equally matched and beautifully acted#and the dynamic was inherently father and daughter. and not all the easy parts!!!!!!#when she was scared after being dragged all over the place by that evil dinosaur he had to sit there and wait for her#and draw her out with the sound signal and just. Be patient!#and when she was mad about her grief he had to make himself share his#anyway sorry for all the spoilers it was just good#65#adam driver

Destiel Pride - Day 6; Profound bond
#Destiel pride#dean Winchester#castiel#Destiel art#destiel fanart#spnfanart#wiggleart#okay so walk with me here:#I saw the prompt and was like thinking about oh the handprint but I just did the 1518 handprint in yesterdays prompt#and then I was thinking of drawing cas pulling dean from hell but I already drew that as well#and I didnât wanna just draw the scene out of the show where this is said because I wanted it to be a little more#in the way of showing that profound bond. and so I was just thinking about smaller ways this can be shown#and then was just thinking about those demonstrations in the show and one of those moments was the first 6 episodes of season 13#where the bond was soooo profound that Deans grief was channeled through Jack and broke through the empty to bring cas back#and then in Tombstones episode we learn that like dean and cas indeed have little movie nights and I remember how Sam didnât even know about#the Dean Den and how there were two chairs#and how they just have movie nights! and so I decided to draw them watching a movie! and yes cas is still an angel but Dean gives him a#sweatshirt and pj pants to chill out in lol and theyâre watching tombstone on the screen in this lol

Feel like Neil couldnât have been any other kind of actor than one in theatre. If he was a movie actor or on social media or whatnot, it would not be the same. Theatre by nature is fleeting. Recorded mediums can be rewatched over and over, creating a time loop of sorts. We the audience can keep going back to a time when Neil is still alive. Theatre however is live and once the play is over, there is no going back except in our memories. It is much like life. We are forced to live in the moment in a theater lest we miss it altogether. Itâs not that the poets choose to live in a world where Neil is dead, itâs that they must because the only other option is to die themselves. I feel like Keatings teachings could only be reflected in stage theatre because thatâs the only way there can be no time loop of grief. I think dead poets society itself isnât about overcoming the authority in your life to do what you want but rather about grief, about allowing oneself to feel grief and all oneâs emotions without letting it consume you and to keep living after, to live every day in the moment lest you fall into grief and regret that will destroy you or force you into a miserable life
#just silly ramblings donât mind me just ignore me đ«Ł#keating was teaching the boys catharsis as a means of survival and how to process their emotions so they donât overcome them in a world#that convinces them to pretend they donât feel at all; thatâs why he focuses on the romantics rather than the realists because the romantic#is there to help you process your emotions of sorrow and joy; and thatâs why he told Charlie he was misunderstanding the teachings when he#was acting out but not Neil when Neil was trying to get out of the grief over the person he wishes he could be; keating taught him that his#father was standing over an empty grave grieving the son he wanted and that Neil doesnât have to lie in that grave just to satisfy his#fathers grief but can go to his father as he is and ask him to accept this version of himself and the son he is and his father rejected and#that is why Neil thought the only way to truly overcome his father was by allowing his father to grieve him over grieving the son he wanted#and Mr. Keating was crying over Neil but we donât see him rage out like the school; Mr. Keating grieved Neil and moved forward with life#whereas all the other administration and Neilâs father will not be able to because they refuse to recognize any emotion but rage so they#feel they must go on a wrathful journey to try to process their grief; idk I think the whole story was about teaching the boys not to be#afraid of their emotions and that they must feel their emotions to process them and get through and I think this message just happens to be#counter to the norm we were told our whole lives but also necessary to be full people and I think that is why this movie sticks with so#many and why so many hold it so dear to them; itâs a story about grief and emotions and moving forward with life after the fact#itâs about feeling in a world that tries to convince you that there are âbadâ emotions and that you must not feel certain things and thatâs#where overcoming authority comes in and the anti authority message of the franchise stems from#neil perry#dead poets society#dps#dead poets fandom#dps fandom#mr keating#john keating#dps symposium

atwow hot take:
if jake had said his "son for a son" shit out loud and spider had heard him, he would have been so beyond pissed, he would be seeing red.
spider loved his little siblings so much, neteyam included, even after they grew apart. he loved them like they were his own blood and protected them like they were too (we see a lot more of them together in the comics, where spider is the big brother without a doubt). neteyam's death most certainly rocked him hard, even if he hasn't really been able to show it (how could he? he's already going through all the shit with his dad and the RDA and their nonsense, he can't grieve around neytiri, he's just so tired after it all. he doesn't have the room or the energy to grieve yet)
so if jake had the audacity to say that to/around spider not even a few hours after he watched his little brother get shot after coming to save him, after he stared at the bullet hole in his back, after he watched him take his last breaths, after he watched the light leave his eyes, after he watched his little brother die for him; if he said that while his little brother's body lay in a pool of his own blood not even ten feet away, not even cold yet, blood still clinging to his chest, the scent of it still filling the air: he would have lost his shit.
because the disrespect for his brother is wild.
jake was an active player in spider's neglect and abuse for the last 16 years, he let it happen, he helped it happen. he tried to send spider with the humans, tried to take him away from his siblings, from the forests, from eywa to live with his foster family that didn't love him (not to mention Nash was an asswipe of epic proportions) and the RDA of all people. he had referred to spider as a stray animal since he was little. he was the reason spiders life was hell.
and after all that, years and years of putting him in shit positions and allowing him to suffer the fate of being forever unloved and uncared for (by an adult authority figure, cause I love the kids, but they don't make up for the gap left by a parent), this is what it took for jake to care about him? his little brother had to die in front of him first? he had to be traded out to fill the space of a corpse, to fill in the gap left by his little brother's death?
in canon, spider was in deep in shock with nothing to break him from it, he wasn't in the place to really think about any of it, and I'm sure we're gonna see this anger in the coming movies, but if jake had said it out loud, that would have been enough to snap spider right out of it, and he would have given jake a piece of his mind, I just know it.
#he loves neteyam too much to let jake do that. to say that. he'd never allow it.#spider is such a good big brother. he loves his siblings too much.#if jake had said that to his face there would have been hell to pay. regardless of how out of it spider was with shock/grief/pure exhaustio#spider doesn't even care about the disrespect being done to him by that statement. he just cares about neteyam.#cause how could a father say that? how could he just move on. fill the gap with a âstrayâ as he puts it. take him in after all he'd done to#him? it wasn't fair#it wasn't fair to him and it most certainly wasn't fair to neteyam#I love spider. he deserves a family that loves him and wants him. he wants it. but this is not what either of us asked for.#that line has always rubbed me wrong. and it would have rubbed spi wrong too. I just know it.#I really hope we see spider express his rightful anger/disgust to this whole thing next movie#though I worry he will be too busy feeling guilty over everything and feeling like he just has to be grateful. but one can hope.#he deserves to be angry#and his dynamic with neteyam deserves to be explored. cause its a crime that it was ignored in the movie.#avatar 2#avatar the way of water#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#neteyam#neteyam sully#neteyam te suli tsyeyk'itan#jake sully#I wanna punch that man so hard istg. I can't with him. I won't say I hate him. but lord have mercy I can't with him.#my baby boys deserved better#spider was neteyam's big brother. that's my agenda#we need to talk about them more

Almost 1AM and this exchange brought me to tears.
Hear here, weâll never stop till the world listens. Itâs not forever. Itâs now.
#free palestine#palestine#i feel so damn tired w the state of the world#watching people be dehumanized and murdered on a daily basis while smiling at some news about a fave artist/show/movies#i hate that i have to constantly compermantalize#i feel like im a fake bcoz i want to live but could only watch when others literally lose their lives#the helplessness and the grief kept at bay is maddening#but all i could do is continue to move forward#live and give voice to those who needs to be heard#give voice to those who are forced to silence#be heard be heard force the world to listen#fuck the exhaustion fuck the shitty coping just never stop giving voice to the voiceless#weâre a choir and while some voices fade off the others will sing until you pick up u turn and sing along again#never forget

"I can't believe you didn't rescue Peeta." "I know," he replies. There's a sense of incompleteness. And not because he hasn't apologized. But because we were a team. We had a deal to keep Peeta safe. A drunken, unrealistic deal made in the dark of night, but a deal just the same. And in my heart of hearts, I know we both failed. "Now you say it," I tell him. "I can't believe you let him out of your sight that night," says Haymitch. I nod. That's it.
All these months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly. And I hate him for it.

on god im always excited when ppl get into my interests but the sole exception is sonic the hedgehog Then im monitoring you extremely closely and any mistake can mean instant block. IT GETS SERIOUS
#anyway i just blocked a mutual of like a year on twt bc they got into sonic from sonic 3 and then immediately started shipping son/adow#and Okay. IS IT PETTY TO BLOCK SOMEONE OVER A SHIP. yeah probably.#but time and time again ive seen new sonic fans that always like son/adow#always say the most fucking egregious shit about the series bc they dont know SHIT from FUCK about the games#also son/adow fans are the number one offenders of mischaracterizing the characters and no thats not hyperbole. its actually unbelievable#listen i can be friends with someone who likes son/adow. Sometimes. if theyre chill.#but as a Seasoned Sonic Veteran (has been playing the games since i could pick up a controller)#i need to spare myself the grief of seeing bad sonic takes on my timeline#i can handle people liking things i dont like but im so cagey about sonic i get genuinely heated about bad takes#from people who are just ignorant and dont play any of the games and just read idw and watch the movies#like holy shit pick up a controller or watch a playthrough what is wrong with you#literally when sonic 2 came out i became mutuals with this person#and they did a âhottest sonic characterâ poll AND TAILS WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS#and when they were getting dogged on they said âoh i just watched the movies i didnt know he was eightâ BROTHER.#i cant trust new sonic fans bro. ESPECIALLY NOT ONES WHO CAME FROM THE MOVIES seriously im watching yall.#anyway if youre wondering what any of that has to do with the ship thinking sonic and shadow would be in a relationship is inherently wrong#sorry.#does this sound elitist idk maybe but idc im just sick of these ppl#ok heated rant over#txt

saw some lego dinosaurs today :3
#australia adventure#i also watched the jurassic world movie for the first time AFTER going to the exhibit#it feels like it Could have been a good movie but the writing is so sexist and i spent too much time yelling EVACUATE THE GUESTS OH MY GOD#chris pratt sucks but they should've made him a horse girl for dinosaurs. that would've fixed it a bit#claire as a character is done so horribly dirty like. she's extremely competent and professional#but the entire narrative is like... portraying her as in the wrong for... being professional? for not being maternal enough?#what kind of moral is 'omggg u just need to let loose' in a movie where a SUPERMURDER DINOSAUR IS OUT OF ITS ENCLOSURE#SHE SHOULD'VE STUCK TO PROTOCOL AND EVACUATED THE PARK IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! AHHH#justice for claire jurassicworld 2024#literally every character is telling her that whatever she's doing is wrong and bad#it's excruciating to watch. anyway#indominus rex just feels like wasted potential. like it's scary for a little but it just looks like a slightly wonky t rex#should've done the thing where you barely see it and it keeps outsmarting everyone in fun and clever ways#i also personally. think they should lean into the tragedy of creating the most perfect predator but it cannot exist on this earth#i feel like there should be a sorrow and grief in having to kill a magnificent beast#like titanic or something. idk. like as a dinosaur kid im like. i like Cool Creature. in my heart im siding with cool creature#it wants enrichment. give it a meat pumpkin#would've loved to watch a defunctland style video about the theme park

The new A24 horror film Talk to Me uses possession and communicating with spirits as a metaphor for drug use. Perhaps itâs a little anticlimactic to say it point blank but the film isnât exactly subtle in this regard (the plaster hand, supposedly once belonging to a medium is even used to hold a joint). It is not that this metaphor that is interesting but how the film uses it. Communicating with the dead becomes a party activity- Iâm a social medium, not a real psychic.
In the beginning Mia is introduced to the hand at a party. After this first use Mia needs to recreate the party setting to get that second, third, forth hit. She doesnât have a problem, sheâs a social user. Mia has recently experienced a major loss, the death of her mother, and as a result she has been feeling isolated. These parties give the illusion of community, but when the going gets tough these people prove not to be real friends; bailing at the first sign of trouble, flaky and only helping when their own safety is in jeopardy.
While using the hand is described as feeling amazing, and the montages show a fun uproarious time, the scenes showing the possessions in real time are from an outside perspective, seeing the physical body and not the mental escape- it looks scary, the way pictures of heavy drug users are shown to elementary kids to scare them.
Many horror movies are in some regard cautionary tales. At there worst, and most famously, attributing sex and drug use with a âdeservedâ violent death. Talk to me is a bit more gracious in its messaging but it is a warning. The title and the metaphor are in conversation with each other, Mia is really crying out for someone to talk to about her grief over the death of her mother, but instead she is filling the need by using the hand. Turning to the hand rather then reaching out results in Mia destroying her relationships, and in the films climax Mia loses herself to it, becoming entrapped on the other side, a spirit that the hand connects to unsuspecting partiers. Drug addiction can feel like an escape from grief and pain, like an amazing party - but it can turn in a moment, and when it does you might find yourself unable to escape.
#this movie had some amazing visuals and a unique message#not an all time fav or anything but interesting enough to justify a rewatch#like all ghost stories are about grief but grief and drug use- interesting take#cool use of metaphor#talk to me 2023#talk to me 2022#film#movies#a24 movies#talk to me a24

And the truth of it all is Yumehara should have been allowed to continue being a workout fanaticâŠyeah maybe she wouldnât have kept that âfeminineâ shape she wanted but think about it. Straight, boxy frame of ripped. Thinking Nikki Snelson in Legally Blonde:
Yeah thatâs the one
EDIT: I know Saiki K might seem like the only thing I do but I also love musical theater and. Come on. This is insane. I love her:
#I left it out but thereâs also a scene in between that where she talks about how her jump rope can be used against guys who harass you#âif you get grief from a guy just work him over with this still he starts to cryâ#THE MUSICAL IS INSANE#also honestly an even better feminist message than the movie Iâd argue#okay back to Saiki:#alternatively let her be comfortably chubby#like Jesus fucking christâŠ#I think Aiura is chubby and still well built#she is composed of circles because she is a shonen mc and circle=good guy#and she is approachable and friendly#ough#saiki k#fluffy cooks a headcanon

tbh i think after logan resets the past at the end of days of future past and wakes up in this timeline that's better than he could ever imagine it'd be very hard for it to settle in his mind that this is real and he gets to keep it.
like, after decades of living in a dystopian hell he's not going to wake up in seemingly in paradise without having some sort of ptsd or residual nightmares from before where all his friends died horrible deaths that he couldn't stop. i feel like to him, scott and jean would feel more like ghosts than people for a good while because if we're operating under the assumption that days of future past happened in the same timeline that the original trilogy happened in, it would've been about half a century since logan had last seen the two of them alive and well. i feel like to him it would be similar to knowing you're dreaming and waiting for the other shoe to drop the whole way through.
and then after that there's the fact that he has no idea who he is in this timeline nowâthat's what i feel was implied, anyway, with how he woke up years in the future and couldn't remember anything past 1973. but he still has relationships built up with the people there and he's an entirely different logan than the one who woke up in his place. so i feel there would be some fumbling there as well, to figure out those relationship dynamics again. unless you just want to assume that things went about the same as the og trilogy minus the plot of the last stand.
idk! i feel logan wouldn't bounce back as fast as it seems he would. think he would have nightmares and be overly-wary and always feel like he's on the cusp of losing this too good to be true world he's stepped into. but i also feel he would soften some of his rougher edgesâin the og trilogy he seems more like a flight-risk than anything, still bouncing from place to place and coming back to the x-mansion for a few people, but here he would stay for more than just jean and rogueâclings on for all the kids he couldn't save the first time and the allies who became close friends over the course of them living out that first dystopian future only he remembers. just thinking out loud
#x men#x men original trilogy#x men movies#logan howlett#wolverine#x men imagine#x men headcannons#x men meta#x men days of future past#like obviously they couldn't get into everything in the last five minutes of the movie#we just get to see logan back in this too good to be true version of the future#but i have been thinking about how it would go after the credits#having to deal with all that pain and loss and knowing he was the only one who remembered doesn't suddenly erase that suffering#might even make it worse in some senseâwouldn't you feel like you were going insane#knowing all these horrible things happened to people you loved and knowing exactly how grief feels when they die#but being the only person who even remembers that it happened at all?#i'm just saying i'd lose it a bit#james howlett#scott summers#jean grey#rogue
