#never saw the graduate

[popironrye]

It took almost three weeks, but I finished it damn it! Well, kinda.

Originally I had a full body of Dracula, but this cropped version just looks a lot funnier. And with the reference to The Graduate, I think it actually fits better.

Plus I also had the door open, but I really just didn't feel like drawing out the apartment exterior.

Robert get's an unexpected, yet completely expected let's be honest, visitor. Can he give him a warm welcome?

i have a theory about shinji, gin, and aizen, but i'm not really sure how to word it.

we never really see shinji and gin interact all that much, which makes sense bc both of them have significantly more important relationships with aizen, but at the same time it's a little odd how much there isn't.

like. gin cut hiyori in half. shinji is understandably pissed about that, but he aims that anger at aizen - and this seems to be one of the very few things in the bleach world that honestly isn't on him bc he never told gin to do that, he never even implied it. hiyori was never a threat to him. hell, we don't even know if she was charging in the right direction; if anything, attacking her implies that she was which is a really stupid thing to do when you're surrounded by a bunch of people who super want you dead and would kill you if they could be sure you weren't tricking them into stabbing each other (ofc it could also be a fakeout but still)

but i don't remember shinji's beef ever really being with gin, even tho he didn't seem to anticipate that gin was working with aizen the whole time during tbtp. so like does he feel responsibility there? cuz gin went straight from academy to 3rd seat and shinji could plausibly feel like that sent him right to aizen bc he doesn't know that gin was always aiming for that. did he blame himself? does he feel like he should've seen it coming? does he still see him as some weird genius kid? does he just view gin as an extension of aizen, which is both dehumanizing to an extent but also entirely fair bc gin did that to himself?

the thing is, since we never really see them interact much, it's kind of only interesting on shinji's side of things, bc gin doesn't really care about much outside of whatever the fuck he thought he was doing and the version of rangiku that he has in his head who needs back something that the real one doesn't ever seem to have realized she lost to begin with. gin's so disconnected with basically everybody that most of the time you can usually assume his thoughts are just "lol. lmao" and there's no reason to think that doesn't extend to shinji as well (gin has deep thoughts on: aizen, ichigo, and matsumoto (massive asterisk on that one ofc) and i think everyone else is kinda set dressing to him lmao the guy is Fucked Up)

anyway i think it's interesting to toy around with that relationship as it was in reality as well as how it might've been perceived, but also in the sense of both of them being sort of opposite ends of the manchild spectrum - shinji leans into his childish side but still has a fairly adult worldview, and gin is able to pull off maturity to an extent but was never able to escape a deeply childish mindset

Sneaky peaky of something I'm working on. So...you were thinking of the graduate when portraying Dracula, Mr. Cage. Interesting....

[pink-lemonadefairy]

does anyone else just not see themselves in the future. whenever people ask me oh where do you see yourself in five years or what do you want to do after college etc etc i’m like i don’t know… i can’t visualise it. i can’t picture myself getting a job after uni or turning 25 or buying my first apartment. pleak

[goodhickey]

don't ever look at popular social media personalities opinions on or check the tags related to a movie explicitly about the queer experience Worst mistake of my life. every single time a queer movie has gotten popular cishet people come out in droves to posit that Actually, my interpretation of the film where instead of being weird faggots everyone is normal is Just as valid as your stupid gay interpretation . and I'm meant to be like yeah okay

someone just commented on my physical appearance UNPROMPTED????

i cannot for the life of me find this one post that's like "i feel like nick is a genuinely mean-spirited, bad person and only tries not to be because he knows people don't like it", but i've been thinking about it a lot. when i first saw that post i was like stupid, shit take, moving on, but the more i think about it i realize they were right. op if you're out there i want you to know that you're based

idk how r*gan shippers think ayitl was hopeful for their ship like they had a pretty explicit goodbye and it indicates she didn't plan to have him in the kid's life which. lol. lmao. he's gonna find out??? his family knows her family?? and i do think for all the ways he's irresponsible he WOULD want to be involved in his kid's life to an extent like he at least has the excuse of living an ocean way unlike christopher but he wouldn't take sixteen years to visit his kid's home imo

but anyway like. he was doing nothing to fight this arranged engagement which i know we don't know much about but you have to assume there's some amount of feeling between him and odette bc like. he has a choice here ya know and neither of them actually acknowledge wanting to stop it from happening AND they're yet again using their relationship as a form of escapism (which bugs me bc rory was over that shit in season 6 idk why they made her have anything to do with that life and death brigade nonsense again) like it's absolutely not a healthy situation

and personally if i were a r*gan shipper i would be bugged at how it ignores the things from season 7 like logan somewhat going against his father in the end and that he and rory were generally a little better at communicating (still not the best because ASP won't let any couple be truly good at communicating, so like dear god will fans not use that as an argument against any shp there are other things to criticize but none of these couples are open and honest with each other lol) LIKE that is the whole thing with ayitl is it basically makes like everyone regressed particularly rory and it's frustrating but yeah like. idk why people find affairs so romantic but it's not and it's definitely not proof that two people are meant to be together
