#nausicaas recs

[itsjustnausicaa]

if it wasnt evident with one of my most recent posts, my metal gear autism is back.

I spoke into his eyes, I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

[kaxtwenty]

Luckily I've already seen Nausicaä! I never noticed the obvious connection between the giant warriors and the Evas before, but I definitely see it now!

Hooooohhh I'm in too deep to back down now huh?...

Hey guys would it be insane if I only watch Evangelion after watching the rest of UC Gundam, Ultraman, Ultraseven, Space Runaway Ideon, Space Battleship Yamato, Aura Battler Dunbine, Devilman and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water?

[unsoundedcomic]

I would assume you have read Berserk! What's you general opinion of the manga? Do you have any recommendations close to Berserk ,id love to check them out!

Berserk's pretty great! Maybe a little style over substance? But what style.

I'm not super knowledgeable in regards to action manga. Usually I recommend either Blade of the Immortal or Nausicaa. They manage to have enough character development and narrative meat to keep me engaged. I'll bet people in the comments could rec a bunch of good stuff.

[rollercoasterwords]

hiiiiiii!! i don't have the brain to do or watch anything atm but i would LOVE some movie recs please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

YAY ok assuming this is coming from the 80s movie post so. here r some of my favorite 80s movies:

ridiculous campy fun:

earth girls are easy (1988) - fucking LOVE this movie!!! such a fun time. horny aliens crash their spaceship on earth + get taken in by a human woman. also it's a musical comedy + the aliens are played by jeff goldblum jim carrey and damon wayans

hell comes to frogtown (1988) - also. obsessed w this one. post-apocalyptic world where society is a matriarchy + humans need 2 repopulate. protagonist is a Manly Man who has been discovered to have a Mega-High Sperm Count, making him a government asset so a sexy military doctor locks him up in a chastity cage 2 conserve his precious sperm. also there are mutated frog people + they kidnapped a bunch of ~fertile~ human women to keep as sex slaves so Manly Man needs 2 accompany sexy military doctor + sexy soldier to go rescue the ladies from Frogtown so he can fuck them <3 also his name is Sam Hell. hence. 'hell comes to frogtown'

clue (1985) - based on the board game!! murder mystery comedy w wacky characters + an ending that is oh-so-fun

weird dark fantasy:

the company of wolves (1984) - the movie that inspired my 80s movie post 2nite <3 creepy fairytale retelling of red riding hood w a bunch of stories-within-a-story so that it ends up feeling like some sort of fever dream matryoshka doll

labyrinth (1986) - one of my FAVORITE movies of all time!!!!! david bowie is a goblin king who kidnaps the protagonist's baby brother as a favor 2 her + then when she's like actually i want him back he's like ok solve my maze then <3

return to oz (1985) - sequel to 'the wizard of oz' that is like. 10 times darker + weirder + creepier + definitely scarred me + my twin when we watched it as children lol. dorothy won't stop talking abt oz so she's taken 2 a mental institution for electroshock therapy. queue dramatic storm + sudden return to oz except the city is in ruins + dorothy needs 2 save the day

horror:

aliens (1986) - sequel to alien (1979) which just missed the cutoff for making this list + i also recommend--but u don't NEED 2 watch it 2 watch this movie. outer space creature feature meets slasher survival horror. xenomorph i love u <3

the thing (1982) - another sci-fi alien horror but this time it follows a group of researchers in the arctic who encounter an alien that can change shape 2 look like any of them. queue paranoia. there's also a more modern remake of this movie if i'm not mistaken

day of the dead (1985) - probably romero's least well-known zombie movie lol but a fun one nonetheless! good if u like 80s movies + zombie movies which. i do <3

the shining (1980) - oooh artsy spooky hotel horror.....a classic to be honest....

animated:

the last unicorn (1982) - ANOTHER favorite movie of all time for me!!!! unicorn who lives in isolation in a forest overhears two humans talking about how there are no more unicorns in the world + is like what i can't be the only one left...so she sets out on an adventure 2 try and find out what happened 2 all the unicorns <3 another movie that scarred me as a child bc of how creepy + dark it was

nausicaa of the valley of the wind (1984) - studio ghibli <3 this is one of my fave ghibli films. post-apocalyptic wasteland where giant bugs roam the earth....amazing

castle in the sky (1986) - more ghibli! girl w mysterious magic necklace meets boy who is searching for castle in the sky. also they are being chased by pirates + creepy government agents. FUN

kiki's delivery service (1989) - aaaaand more ghibli. teenage witch sets out 2 make her way in the world + encounters existential dread <3

classics:

heathers (1988) - veronica decides that she's sick of her mean-girl popular friendgroup + at the same time meets Mysterious New Boy. when she complains 2 him abt her friends he starts killing them <3

the princess bride (1987) - based on the book (which i also recommend!!); i feel like everyone knows this movie but. basically fairytale-esque romance abt a girl named buttercup who falls in love w a farmboy named wesley but then wesley gets murdered by pirates...or so it seems....

ferris bueller's day off (1986) - teenagers decide 2 skip school + run amok in chicago. wahoo!!

[facetsofthecloset]

9 people you would like to know better

tagged by @vonlipvig, thanks!

1. 3 ships: Glenda/Mr.Nutt from Unseen Academicals, Adora/Moist from Going Postal etc., uhhh shoot do I even have a non-Discworld ship I actively care about ummmm

OH let’s go for the classic Gay Attorneys Phoenix/Edgeworth lol

2. first ever ship: hmmm. Probably Ranma/Akane from the middle school days. Tbh nowadays I feel like Akane is a lesbian actually but it could work out if they grow up and Ranma becomes more comfortable identifying as gender-fluid or gender neutral

3. last song: I’ve been binging podcasts for the past week or so but I’ve also been playing Stardew Valley while listening, so probably whatever track I last heard there lol

Oh wait I had a midnight crisis last night and listened to The Horror and the Wild by The Amazing Devil a lot so there we go

4. last movie: i genuinely don’t remember, but I think I recently rewatched Nausicaa?

5. currently reading: nothing technically bc I just finished the new Murderbot audiobook but that said GO READ (or listen to, even though the narrator of the audiobook is TERRIBLE at pronouncing names) MURDERBOT DIARIES I PROMISE IT’S WORTH IT

I mean if you’re not a fan of the sarcastic first person narrative format maybe you won’t like it but it’s very well done. It’s my kind of sci-fi, in that it focuses less on tech and worldbuilding (although there’s plenty of that) and more on character and how the worldbuilding actually affects the people in it

6. currently watching: my favorite hbomberguy and Folding Ideas video essays on loop. Although it’s usually as background while I play video games soooo watching might not be the right word lol

7. currently consuming: food-wise nothing; I’m at the doctor’s office waiting room for physical therapy. Media-wise, have been listening to a lotttt of Behind the Bastards, started with the Kissinger stuff. Really makes me think emotional intelligence/healthy coping mechanisms should be taught officially or something. Sure, some people will still be awful but I think at least some people would wind up NOT committing atrocities y’know

8. currently craving: Kailua pig. Or like, one really, really good avocado. The ones back home are probably in season now and yet I am trapped in the temperate zone where no one knows when an avocado is ripe and just toss in some hard green cubes

9. tagging @mariegoos (thanks again for the Murderbot rec!) @bittersweet-poppy @petrabasil @darkprincecait if any of you want to!

[cabbojage]

Hi there. :) Your WIP ‘CLOCKED OUT’ sounds so cool. I was just wondering: what first inspired/introduced you to steampunk?

ahh i'm so glad you think so! :D honestly, i'm not too well-versed in the genre as i'd like to be; at least, i haven't seen it too much in books at least to my knowledge (i'd love some recs if anyone has any!!)

but i think my awakenings to steampunk in general was fullmetal alchemist & ghibli films like howl's moving castle, castle in the sky, & nausicaa. i just love the unnecessary intricacy of it and how steampunk embraces tradition unlike a more "modern" take on the futuristic, where everything would be sleek, white, and textureless. some other influences (specifically for clocked out) include the cities of arcane, the world of tlok, and (embarrasingly) some of the technology in honkai star rail LMAO

[low-db]

Top movies?

Top TV shows?

This is so difficult because I consume too much media ✨content✨ so I’ve decided to just list some films and series that give you a general vibe of what I like instead of necessarily my top picks. Though most of these would likely be contenders. It’s just hard to choose!

Movies: Ex Machina, Scream, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Arrival, Godzilla Minus One, Nausicaa

Shows: Severance (give me S2!!), Cowboy Bebop, X-Files, Adventure Time, Hannibal, Parks & Rec

So for my book reading goal next year I think I'm going to attempt to read a lot of iconic/classic/influential manga series everybody should know, and I'd love to get your recommendations if you have them! Pls comment them here, even the really obvious ones, chances are I probs have not read it yet

[itsjustnausicaa]

its easy to hate on weezer. but this song rips

(pull this thread, as i walk awayyy)

[nausicaaandhermouth]

directory

fics masterpost | my art | arcane notes | own writing | yapping | fic recs

[cataclysmic-catastrophe]

Arlo “I don’t even know if I like girls” Jarsdel: I probably just admire nausicaä

Arlo: and the curve of her throat and muscular thighs and the ethereal otherworldly glint in her steel eyes

Arlo: anyways. I’m gonna go binge watch She-ra and the princesses of power

[shiro-hatzuki]

oooo how fun! let's see...

Do you make your bed? no, why would i?

Favorite Number? i think 15 is a cool number. 75 is also cool

What's your job? unemployed babeyyyy but im a biochemistry major in uni and no one is safe from that fact

If you could go back to school, would you? still in school, but if i could attend uni for free, i'd love to just keep learning! there's so much chemistry, not enough money...

Can you Parallel Park? uhhhh like i've done it? once? i live in a rural area so i don't have many opportunities to do so, so i don't think i can do it well

Do you think Aliens are real? if you're asking if there is life on a planet that is not earth within this infinitely vast universe, then yes, I do think that is likely. but what form these lifeforms take is also an infinitely vast question to ask. they could be little green men, or they could be bacteria, or they could be even more varied than even our little planet. isn't it fun to think about?

Can you drive a manual car? absolutely not

Guilty Pleasure? microwaved eggs with white rice (rice made separately in a rice cooker and likely to be leftovers from two days ago). doctor bunny was privileged to see my misadventures in making sunny side up eggs in a microwave

Favorite Type of Music? hard rock, jrock, pop rock, recently been getting into metal (starting off with deftones, arch enemy, and system of a down! open to recs btw :3)

Do you like puzzles? some puzzles! jigsaws are fun. i also like puzzles that involve math

Favorite Childhood Sport? floor hockey! not real ice hocky, i've never skated before in my life. but floor hockey was my shit

Do you talk to yourself? yes all the time! i like having conversations with myself while i daydream

Tea or Coffee? both! tho i need my coffee to be decaf, i get heart palpitations with caffeinated coffee. and tea can be tricky because with some teas, they give me headaches and nausea.

First thing you wanted to be when you grew up? a superhero!

What Movies do you Adore? ponyo, nausicaa, really any miyazaki film

gonna taggg @carlysky815 @newquestion @spooderjuixe but only if you want!

never been part of a tag game, sounds really fun! tagged by dear Lanvender, @khan-crete

Do you make your bed? A freshly decrumbed, stuffed animal arranged and dirty clothes removed bed feels great. How often do I do this? We mustn't ask (like once or twice a month) that's all making the bed entails for me, I just have a fitted then normal sheet and blankets

Favorite Number? 4 4 4 4 4! I've loved four my entire life she is like a goddess to me. 2+2 2*2 2^2, divides into halves twice. can only compete with sixteen, whose status and 2^4 and 4^2 is nice, but not as symmetric. 37 and 73 have a place in my heart as the 12th and 21st primes, but not a large place compared to 4

What's your job? What do I get paid for? undergrad lab TA, what do I do? grad research in low energy nuclear physics

If you could go back to school, would you? In school technically still. Would I rewind time to experience school again? highschool no college yes. would I go back for another college degree? I could be convinced if it would be cheap and unobtrusive to my current schooling. Was always torn between physics and linguistics. I made the right choice but I always wonder what if.

Can you Parallel Park? I have done it, on the driving test, like four or five years ago. I think I could do it again, but not too confident

Do you think Aliens are real? Eh, probably in a 'the observable universe 9.3e+9 ly across, it must have happened more than once' kinda way, but not in a 'they've been feeding us tech for thousands of years or are visiting us' kinda way.

Can you drive a manual car? Never tried, hubris tell me yes, anxiety with even normal cars tells me I'd probably fuck up the transmission while trying to leave the driveway. gonna say yeag

Guilty Pleasure? I think like cheesy childhood disney live action movies?, generally I'm pretty full chested about the things I enjoy

Favorite Type of Music? yeah, hard, a lot of vocaloid, which isn't reallly a genre, a lot of edm genres from like old school monstercat, a lot of jrock by way of anime OP's of show's I've never watched then finding other songs by those artists. some rock music though that genre is also extremely expansive and I'm not sure how I'd categorize a lot of it. Generally my music consumption consists of a group of maybe five songs completely unrelated on repeat for months at a time and genre is not a huge factor in that

Do you like puzzles? twisty puzzles like rubik's cube type puzzles are really fun working, towards doing a 3x3 blindfolded but challenging, I used to do jigsaw's with my mom but over the course of a very long time because we'd get frustrated. crosswords, but I'm no good at them

Favorite Childhood Sport? Soccerrrr. Wish I'd stayed with it, but there were only a couple more years before there wasn't a league for my age group anyway, been trying to get back into it recreationally

Do you talk to yourself? I do, but as if I'm talking to someone else. I prefer not to do it because I'm not content with my voice atm, but I find myself doing it a lot especially when getting stuck on research stuff trying to talk it out or I will say a comment to someone I disagree with outloud rather than typing it and posting it. A lot of this is to my reflection which is probably part of the reason it feels like someone else lol

Tea or Coffee? tea all the way. drank iced sweet black tea my entire childhood and started drinking it hot with milk in college. I was the kind of person that disliking coffee was a sort of pillar of my tastes, but then a few years ago made it with like half milk and a lot of sugar and like it, lotta people wouldn't call that coffee, but eh.

First thing you wanted to be when you grew up? The actual first thing was everything. I would amalgamate like all the stereotypes of things kids want to be into one so a firefighter-astronaut-whatever else. When I got a better sense of my interests, inventor, so I guess like product designer, but what that meant to me was I got to sit around and think of neat gadgets and items then figure out how to make them like freeze ray, time machine, clone gun, that kind of thing lol. the first practical idea of a job I wanted was theoretical physicist in like middle school, which I kinda am now so success I guess

What Movies do you Adore? not much of a movie person, but like to watch movies other people are interested in with them, love castle in the sky, LOTR, howl's moving castle, your name, probably others in those categories I don't know about yet or have forgotten and I have a strong soft spot for childhood halloween movies like twitches and halloweentown

I'm curious what @arc-archernar and @charyou-tree have got to say if they'd like to, and anyone else that wants to participate!

[slytherinprincess83]

Reasons why you should read A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth (they/them):

All four mcs are LGBT+, wlw and mlm, childhood best friends to lovers, mutual pining, sunshine x grumpy...

It gives off City of Bones vibes, but with modern faeries with magic and who use technology A LOT and talk about serious topics (f you rich and privileged shits) like depression, death, drugs, etc. Also, there's a fandom made for a particularly handsome and clever Fae prince.

They/them and neo pronouns are mentioned!!

This book is funny, sassy, clever, intriguing and different. Especially Nausicaä (an immortal badass with smoke powers) is extremely sassy, swears a lot and causes a lot of chaos.

The characters are far from perfect, they struggle with mental health issues and their pasts, make bad decisions but also keep going.

The book has multiple POVs but the story picks up quickly and never gets boring, all characters have purpose and their own personalities that set them apart.

The character interactions are cute and you find yourself grinning widely because of a small gesture or action.
