watched i saw the tv glow
#this movie is incredible and is altering my brain chemistry as we speak#it is beautiful and soul crushing and inspiring and agonizing#its too relatable#spoilers incoming#i cannot stop thinking about the scene at the end where owen/isabelle is at work#screaming IM DYING HELP ME and everyone shuts down#just to apologize later and get ignored#and the chalk drawing with THERE IS STILL TIME written on it gave me chills#there is still time isabelle i promise there is still time#as i got to the final scene i thought please dont end here#and it ended there#this movie is a tragedy#and i dont remember the last time a film stuck with me like this#i wish i couldve punched through the screen and grabbed isabelles hand and guided her back to the pink opaque#its just such a good trans allegory and i wish i could have seen her thrive#i saw the tv glow#is probably one of my favorite movies now

i actually can't deal with characters who objectively MUST have fucked up and weird relationships with their bodies. five hargreeves... chase davenport... echo bad batch... jason todd????... wade wilson?!?!?!?... link loz?!?!?!!?... ZELDA LOZ?!?!!?!?!?
#if it's not clear this post is about like. characters who have those fucked up feelings for fantastical reasons#whether being stuck in the “wrong” body or being able to regenerate or rebirth or being bionic#to be clear some of these are like... i think everyone whos bionic in lab rats probably has a weird relationship with their body#but chase especially as someone who gets like attacked a lot (and i think hurt more than anyone in the show?)#and someone who is enhanced like bree and adam but not PHYSICALLY in the way they are#like. idk. i think its particularly weird for him. thats a whole other post#its mostly the having a chip jammed into your neck + hes my favorite so hes mentioned here#also btw any character like this is a trans allegory by nature#lab rats#tua#the umbrella academy#the bad batch#dc comics#deadpool#legend of zelda#link loz#zelda loz#chase davenport#five hargreeves#wade wilson#jason todd#aylo talks#mine

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.
#me when beautiful trans allegory gets represented through a universal experience of nostalgia and a constant feeling that something isn't ri#right all through the form of a film about a childhood friend/pasttime#im sure you can guess exactly what scenes did it for me#just the idea of giving up your comfort and the life you knew all to take a risky leap and constantly fluctuating back and forth because you#are terrified and in denial but know you have to because its literally killing you not to#just. fuck man. fuck.#i saw the tv glow#trans#movies#this is going up there with talk to me in my heart cause holy fucking shit#oh and emesis blue. that was tied with ttm for my favorites last year

#my to watch list is so long atp tkfkyfkfh#some favorites of mine are robyn and mebh from wolfwalkers! especially robyn i made an amv basically using her as a trans allegory once#love letters💌#🪐 anon <3

LOL I feel like such an old curmudgeon, but every time a bunch of gendies like a decade younger than me start joining the fanbase of something I've liked for a really long time, it suddenly goes to hell 💀
(I just remembered that I ranted about this once before, but it keeps happening!)
#this keeps happening with some of my favorite musicians/bands that I've liked for like 10-15 years#they love projecting their various trans/ace/etc. headcanons on to real people#viewing the lyrics of every song as some sort of trans allegory#TIFs thinking it's okay to use homophobic slurs to refer to the gay lead singer of one of these bands#I want peace...#✏️

i love nimona
#i'm going 2 ramble here in the tags ok. okay? ok#god. look. i went into this movie thinking 'yeah yeah obv trans allegory woohoo' thinkin that's great! but#idk. i thought it would be something that could be brushed aside or sanitized easily maybe. y'know? like passed off as another kids movie#and i thought maybe other trans folks could relate 2 the movie and i was like ok that's cool let's watch it and. it was just#that one scene.#everyone talked abt how they cried and how it really Hit and i didn't get it until then#at the statue#i cried. a lot. and i never do that w media and i don't mean that to be edgy or whatever kssdfkjg but just#oh fuck#they Get It#that part. it reached into my soul and grabbed that core part of me and Tugged.#it Hurt and i felt it. the exhaustion. ready to give up. the cry nimona let out. i cried because i got it. and then i cried harder because#i'd give anything for a ballister in my life#my thoughts are 'they got us in the second half ngl' basically KSDJHFKSJDHFKSD#first half of the movie? great! but second half? oh. oh it punches u in the face over and over and gets better and better#it's so. SO good. god. i don't know when everything clicked 4 me i don't think it was a singular moment but. man. oh man#i need to rewatch that immediately#instantly a favorite. shit#it's so unapologetically nimona. it's so Itself and it's not sorry and i love it and it feels so special and i'm holding it so close#there's 2 much to gush about in these tags there's not enough space but just know. i am Insane about this#sap says#god. fuck

my favorite thing about nimona is that they didn't give her a backstory to why she was a shapeshifter. just that she was. it was her normal reality that she had lived for over a thousand years. that despite doing nothing wrong she was labeled as a monster from the beginning of time. the entire kingdom was only built to protect the world from her just wanting to exist free to be whatever she wanted.
this movie isn't even a trans allegory at this point, it is The transgender movie.

Idk if this has been asked before but anything you wanna say about Lycion? like I love how he's basically a trans allegory
I love it too! I love Lycion so much, all the canaries to be honest, they're my favorite gender.
Here's his extra from the adventurer's Bible for those who haven't seen it
I think people smarter than me have made great analysis of his character and how it relates to being trans/body dysmorphia. But I'm really happy he got a body where he feels more comfortable in, and I love the bit from the beastmen monster tidbit where Laios judges him for not being an accurate furry and Lycion calls him an wannabe lmao. Get his ass Lycion
I am also completely in love with his friendship with Fleki. Makes me really happy to see an intense friendship between opposite genders cause it's so rare. And they're both so precious.
Getting a little off topic but I can't with the canaries... Did you know Otta is Butch/Masc presenting? I couldn't tell because the Elves are all so androgynous I assumed the short hair was normal but apparently its an active choice for her to look more masculine I love it.
It's more obvious in the modern clothing drawings
Sorry I got side-tracked, it's cause these are the canaries to me

one of my favorite parts of nimona is that she never explains her backstory to ballister. the audience sees all of it, but nimona is never put in the position of having to beg for ballister’s trust back by baring all of her past and her reasons.
in fact, bal is seen as in the wrong for failing to hold up the truths of who she is in the present over whatever her past was rumored to be.
just. what a good choice for a movie that’s a trans allegory, but also in general as a commentary on people growing and changing.

going into i saw the tv glow with the impression that it was just an abstract horror film that could be read as having trans themes and then realizing that it was explicitly intended as a transfem allegory was my favorite movie watching experience of the year
