Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
#original#the last unicorn#tlu#peter s beagle#molly gru#schmendrick#schmendrick the magician#two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol#because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb#the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE#mostly zoro's blades from One Piece#normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and#then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU#and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

So last weekend, my mother and I had a girl's weekend. (This is not what either of us called it, but "she was in town and stayed in my guest bedroom" doesn't have the same ring.) Anyway, she was here Friday so we went and saw "The Substance" because there really wasn't much to do at 2pm on a random Friday except head to the movies.
The film was delightful, it was, but honestly the most fun part was afterwards---we spent a good couple hours talking about it, the themes! the imagery! whether it was effective horror, why it was funny and horrible and funny again; we talked about it more the next day. And even more than the movie itself, that was what I enjoyed---it's been a long time since I've had a real flesh and blood person with whom to excitedly talk with about themes and such.
I bring this up not to brag, but to wish that I could bring that person (or even just a person) with me to all the random stuff I'm interested in. I want to have a 2 hour conversation about the deliciously intricate puppet-filled haunted house show i just saw, but no one wanted to go or was free. What am I supposed to do with my opinions now?
#it is actually very easy not to have a partner. you simply do not get married (super easy and cheaper too!)#but you lose out on some things.#I genuinely think I joined book clubs because ''someone to discuss movies/books/tv shows/etc with'' is a core human need#and unfortunately ''hey marry me I want to discuss horror things with someone'' feels like a bad deal.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

the movie did such a good job at putting me in isabel/owens shoes honestly because i was looking at tara/maddys monologue scene through a lens of just not letting go of nostalgia so i was like 'oh my god do not get in that hole in the ground. this is crazy' but then two minutes later with hindsight i Understood and was like 'NO YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THE HOLE IN THE GROUND GO BACK'
#thats how you know its a good metaphor because this was also exactly my cycle with hrt for like 6 straight years#'oh my god you cant get on testosterone right now theres all this. it would be crazy'#*2 years later* oh my god why didnt i start hrt back then that was so stupid. it would have been so easy. i cant do it now of course.#*2 years later* oh my god why didnt i start hrt back then it would have been so ea#avpost#movie diary#i saw the tv glow#but hey anyway i DID start hrt its not too late etc etc. please god go bury yourself in that hole in the ground right now.

tulips !! they’re underrated
#or idk maybe there are ppl who go apeshit over tulips but I’ve never met anyone whose favorite flower is tulip#like they’re not my favorite but tbh I don’t rly have a favorite#unless I’m trying to be edgy & pretentious in which case it’s rafflesia but that’s barely a flower (it’s not it’s a parasite)#and it’s more like ’’oh that’s one fucked up plant’’ rather than that I like it; gives me the creeps so I think it’s fun#idk maybe ppl don’t have favorite flowers?? like that’s an urban legend right??? no one’s there actually like ’’ooh u got my favorite’’#except for in movies/tv-shows etc.#right??? or idk what do I know#studyblr#dark academia#aesthetic#bookblr#april 2024#2024

People need to start understanding the difference between actually harmful or "bad rep" vs just rough around the edges but still complex and nuanced rep that doesn't quite line up with your own personal experiences or the over-sanitized ideal of what you think "good rep" should be
#just saw someone in their headcanon post say they know it would be bad rep if this certain character actually had this disorder#but that's just it! it really wouldn't! if anything it'd be a really realistic portrayal of the effects without making it a big deal#or villainizing the disorder itself#like yes this particular character has done bad things but never was it implied to be because of those symptoms#he's a very detailed and complex character beyond that and etc etc.#same show gets a lot of bad rap for supposed “bad rep” that i've seen more people connect and relate to and fall in love with more than any#other cause it's not sanitized it's allowed to be messy + real + reflect experiences people usually never get to see authentically portraye#and sometimes that means it's gonna be rough#but anyway#like it's the difference between purposefully perpetuating a dangerous stereotype#vs wanting every “diverse” character to be a perfect cookoe cutter angel who can do no wrong and never gets deeper than a kiddie pool#books#movies#media#tv shows#media literacy

#lol a struggle with this one#but those are the only times (if i'm not missing something) where 'redemption' is specifically named and it's *about* arthur rather than#tommy#peakyblindersgifs#peaky blinders#tv#tvedit#i'm a little stumped where arthur's arc is headed: there are a few possibilities but they go in widely different directions#my raunchiest fantasy is the movie treating tommy and arthur as dual protagonists because i think arthur's ending as important as tommy's t#what the show has been trying to explore re guilt/accountability/'redemption' as well as thedecision to live and go on etc#i wish there were more scenes between tommy and linda most enjoyable to me#also that episode being titled the road to hell ...

I just think Lina Romay being goofy should be a part of every movie ? (Célestine, bonne à tout faire, 1974)

dofp having both Time In A Bottle and erik telling charles he wished he hadnt spent so many years fighting him was actually evil really !!!!!
#xmen#xmen dofp#cherik#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#snap chats#AND THE FACT ITS QUICKSILVER LMAO is that cause he hates you in like. every timeline im gone bruh doin your old man like that#sorry i was rewatching DOFP because i really needed bitter exes cherik before i went back to college#and the quicksilver segment is already one of my fave moments in the film#1.) its gen a cool sequence 2.) Time In A Bottle is an excellent song#but i was wathcin the movie with my brother and he insinuated the song was cherik adjacent and ouugh i died a little#like how did /i/ not pick up on that ..... my bro dont even fw cherik like that he knows I DO tho#its so funny im invested in marvel for the first time in about a decade and im back to just yaoi on the dome#same as when i was 15 the more things change the more things stay the same etc etc#oh but yeah anyway. what if we all died.#i still think of that Alleged cut bit from the script where (old) erik was supposed to die in charles' arms when the sentinels come#like genuinely i might have just thrown my whole tv away i couldnt handle that !!!!!!!!!!#i love old cherik i fear ........ i love the young version too ofc but theres just a special spot in my soul for old man yaoi vlaekvjeal

my current theory is that PJO TV is gonna go the exact same route as the movies:
Movie/Season 1 - The writing is meh and is criticized alongside the heavy deviations from the original series. Some people are staunch believers that it is too harshly criticized for being a derivative series, and they're probably right to some degree. As a stand-alone media it's somewhat confusing without original context and generally received as Medium-At-Best, but not the worst thing ever.
Movie/Season 2 - The writers respond to criticism by making changes recommended by feedback to the first [season/movie]. These changes to be closer to the books are generally regarded favorably. The second [movie/season] is regarded with little fanfare. They solve too much way too early on and essentially kill any chance for them to continue the series, but set up a continuation anyways by introducing Thalia. They announce plans for the third [movie/season] and everyone is confused.
Movie/Season 3 - Is announced but never comes to fruition and everyone is kind of relieved by that. Also I personally hope Disney+ will be dead by this point. Maybe Netflix will pick it up to go with the TKC movies. I dunno.
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv#pjo tv crit#bonus comparison [movie/season] 1 - people complain a lot about Annabeth casting and those people are generally regarded as assholes#but otherwise the casting is largely seen as perfectly acceptable and often good#select scenes from [movie/season] 1 and 2 will be regarded as individual gems and agreeable deviations from the source material#often in part for being funny. such as ''this is a pen'' - medusa in general - Percy new yorker moments - ''dont walk on my roof'' - etc#we're gonna get s2 and Leah's gonna get the blonde braids everybody's been drawing Annabeth with a la Annabeth becoming blonde for movie 2#< that tag is sarcasm but also i wouldnt put it past them to do that. it would be wholly unnecessary. but they did it before#tbh 90% of this is just me hoping D+ dies within 3 years#you can tell they're really banking on PJO propping it up

shebbz i just want to say that you are single-handedly convincing me to watch mash... i know nothing about the show but ur chipping away at my brain like a misfolded protein
just make sure you watch it without laugh tracks
#it premiered in 1972 so don't expect 21st century moral sensibilities but it really was groundbreakingly counterculture#the hayes code ended 1968 and the vietnam war was on tv every night and to be adamantly anti-war was HERESY#which unfortunately makes a lot of parts of it sadly evergreen bc it feels like there will always be a war on tv you can't protest#whether or not every last facet of it still holds up it's very important to appreciate what worked and the effects it had#that goes with all ''old'' shows/movies/books as i'm sure i've said a million times while frothing about star trek or 20k leagues etc#shebbz shoutz#mash#shebbz editz#ask#we got another one lads
