#send my love to john rina sawayama

[yantao-enthusiast]

rina sawayama really said "we both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want" without regards to the emotional damage it would do to me. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS ABOUT AN IMMIGRANT MOTHER REALIZING HER SON'S HAPPINESS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS????? HOW DID YOU SET IT UP FOR A PERFECT CRITICAL HIT TO MY HEART????? FUCK YOU. I LOVE THIS SONG

[spoofymcgee]

googled one artist i liked a song from to find out which of her albums to start with and wow people are mean??

like. incredibly mean. she didn't do anything to you?? unless i guess maybe she punched you but i don't think that's very likely and you'd probably mention that before 'her attempt to critique capitalism is trite and sells more to rich people than it does make it's point, her songs talking about queerness and her experiences are patronizing and dumb, the fact that she hopes to make something people relate to and find comfort in is hilarious and obviously insane, and also she's just a stupid little teenager what does she know' like shut up?? why is your opinion piece the first article that turns up when i am looking for good things about this artist. go away.

i normally dont listen to albums that are mostly ballads/downtempo songs or check out artists whose work is like that (with a few exceptions) but if rina sawayama, for w/e reason, did a project of ballads you best BELIEVE id be streaming!

yasper is buying a shower curtain he saw on an instagram ad that has a built-in pocket for his cell phone. aniq judges him on principle for buying something from an instagram ad. aniq doesn't get it; he's never had to experience being judged by teenager working at the apple store who knows you're lying abut your phone being water damaged

yasper is singing send my love to john by rina sawayama and crying

yasper is watching real housewives of new york with chelsea. as a compliment, he says he thinks she's a bethany & asks her which housewife he is. chelsea says you want to be sonja but deep down you're afraid you're ramona. yasper is loudly declaring that his friendship with chelsea is over and he's having an existential crisis.

yasper is opening up his birthday present from aniq. it's a bluetooth shower speaker. he vibrates with delight. "now you can get rid of that godawful shower curtain," aniq says. yasper does not admit that the shower curtain was cheap garbage he tossed in the trash after one week. it's why he's been spending the night at aniq's for the past month, and not the other way around, because then aniq would see the shower curtain is gone and he refuses to admit defeat.

My top 5 list of the cuntiest most amazing outfits served by John Wick characters(because the costuming team always be serving goddamn). Anyways hear me yap I’m in a party bored out of my mind

spoilers for all movies in the John Wick series, be warned!!

5. Ms. Perkins — John Wick(2014)

Goth as hell, fucking love it. It was SUCH a serve. Everything is black as shit. The leather boots and gloves?? This entire outfit just screams 2014 goth chick and you know what, she slayed it so much. Too bad she doesn’t get quite enough recognition which is utterly heartbreaking💔💔 Those boots are such a slay and that bag too. I remember watching John Wick for the first time and looking at her and going “is that a 2014 tumblr girl.” And knowing the fact it’s canonly set in 2014 just really makes this all so funny and in a way realistic.

4. Marquis de Gramont — John Wick:Chapter 4(2023)

I like to call this outfit the “let them eat cake” fit because he’s French, an aristocrat, and he was eating cake in this scene. They really put Bill “campy horror boyfriend” Skarsgård in high waisted trousers and a slutty waistcoat. The red is so nice in this scene, it really went well with the golden sunlight that the Marquis is often drenched in. And that pocket watch too is just exquisite. His suit is such a breath of fresh air from all the black/dark outfits that stayed constant throughout the movies. Love how all of his suits are literally not tactical at all and just style. Really solidified his character as a spoiled cunt.

3. Akira Shimazu — John Wick Chapter 4(2023)

Rina Sawayama was so good as Akira oh my lord. I was literally lost for words that mother Sawayama came to slay(she could beat the hell out of anyone) and this outfit!!!! I’m such a sucker for tri-color outfits especially when there’s like two colors that are the same/shades and one color that just heavily contrasts it(in a good way). Oh and the battle outfit underneath was also awesome, love how the costuming team also takes into account that almost everyone in the movies are either hitmen or just need to be fighting.

2. Sofia Al-Alzwar — John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum(2019)

First off, I love the Cassablanca Continental, its like the best(in my opinion) out of all Continentals seen so far. I love the entire aesthetic of the place and the fact that Sofia absolutely manages to blend in quite well. She matches the decoration of the Hotel. And that sheer black coat combined with the belt of coins(?). Also, that cute pup<33 I love the embroidery on this, I’m such a sucker for embroidery like on her coat.

1. Gianna D’Antonio — John Wick 2

Holy shit!!!!! Mother Gianna D’Antonio!! Slayed her 10 minutes of screen time fr. That sparkly dress underneath her fur coat. Oh and that coat! I love it so much, I’ve been trying to find like something that resembles it. I am genuinely so in love with Gianna’s outfit in her death scene. Despite the sparkles and sequins, it manages to stay classy which is probably because it’s Claudia Gerini. And seriously, her hair too! Everything about this entire fit just makes it amazing. The sparkling dress makes Gianna eye-catching at the party which is what she probably would have wanted. I am so incredibly salty there wasn’t much else to see from her because I just know that she would’ve had better outfits or a better presence if her brother didn’t send John to kill her.

All in all, the costume teams of all movies managed to make such a good set of clothing for the characters. It gives so much life to their characters and the fact their actors managed to understand their characters too makes this all so beautiful to watch. I’m such a fan of costuming in movies and AHHHHH!!!! I truly do believe that outfits help a lot with audiences getting an idea of a character<333

thank you for reading<3

let's hear it for the diaspora and her daughters

(in no particular order)

(was making playlists and noticed a pattern in my choices 😅)

(feel free to make recs and additions)

[snixx]

Hi bestie! Do you have any rina sawayama recs?

YES YES ALWAYS

okay so the awesome thing about rina is her discography is so diverse?? like she's played with pop metal country rock she even has this song that sounds like linkin park but vaguely punjabi with a santoor i think?? SO many different genres and themes and there's something for everyone SO it really depends on what you're into! im in love with almost her entire discography but if I HAD to choose some of my personal absolute favourites would be chosen family, phantom, to be alive, this hell, who's gonna save u now? and dynasty

okay now depending on what you're in the mood for...

1) mommy issues, generational trauma etc (by far her most common theme to make music about. rina straight up calls her music 'mother music' the hold the girl album especially is ALL mommy issues): dynasty, phantom, minor feelings, hold the girl, forgiveness

less angsty mommy issues songs: paradisin', catch me in the air (these are highkey bops)

2) gay trauma and chosen family: chosen family (there's also an elton john duet version), send my love to john, holy till you let me go, bad friend, cherry

3) funky experimental depression nostalgia breakdown songs: akasaka sad, snakeskin, tokyo love hotel, frankenstein (these are some of her most unique interesting songs by far but they can also be polarizing)

4) ANGER RAGE FURY REVENGE ETC: STFU!, who's gonna save u now?, an eye for an eye, your age (the punjabi!linkin park song lol)

5) satire (making fun of rich people/men/the straights etc etc): XS, comme des garcons (like the boys), this hell (her most fun songs I've looped these so many times my spotify is broken)

6) misc pop bops: beg for you, lucid, 10-20-40, where u are, hurricanes

okay I'm gonna stop myself there cause i could fangirl over her forever and I'm trying not to recommend her entire discography lol but YOU'LL LOVE HER GO LISTEN TO HER PLEASE
