✨ the Ultimate Studio Ghibli Desktop Set ✨

I'm so excited to share this! I adore Studio Ghibli and its beautiful worlds and characters, so I created this massive desktop set that includes as many beloved movies as I could, for anyone else who wants to bring some Ghibli magic to their desktop! 🖤(there are more icons than pictured above ;) )

holds desktop set out to you like No Face giving gold

uh. uh.

^ me when I finally finished making this set. I spent four months working on it (two and a half of those were JUST the icons). But my main mindset when making this set was to really do as much as I possibly could, because there are SO MANY amazing movies and characters and everyone has their favorite and I wanted to do my best to have something for everyone! 🌿🌸🩷 This has been a LABOR for sure, but I also poured as much love as I could into it! So this was also me (and my sisters xD) when I finished:

Also, what's this? -> TOTORO4TUMBLR

hm.. maybe if you feed it to etsy checkout it does something *shrug*

going from the hylink depictions in fandom and all the zelda games where link dedicates his life to saving and serving her to the skyward sword prequel manga is wild because you meet the first link, and he's just like. idgaf about hylia (the goddess). you gods are just as pathetic and powerless as we humans whom you supposedly reign above. why are you coming to me to fix your problems. why do we even keep you around. i don't want your stupid sword. the bird is cool, though.

after watching when marnie was there

me: damn so it was her grandma huh 💔

also me, but in tears: erm actually 🤓☝️ it’s about this lonely child discovering that she has always been loved in a way that’s so strong that it transcends past & present. the lightness and the relief that comes from seeing yourself in someone else. you may be outside of the circle but it doesn’t mean you can’t make your own. one u can invite others in too.

More Instagram comments from my growing collection part two 🍀🍈⭐

The Boy and the Heron thoughts. Mahito's backstory is putting a lot of effort into saving his mother, only for it not to matter. Our protagonist spends the rest of the movie both in the real and fantasy worlds not really making any meaningful actions. This makes the movie kind of not feel like a movie to me. I think the point is very few of your own choices make a difference on a scale as wide as this story is considering. The scale is maybe the most chaotic 80 years of Japan's history.

The asteroid is said to hit right after the start of the meiji restoration. As I understand it, the meiji era was a fast shifting, quickly modernizing period, but still very empire-building and emperor-ruled. The meiji powers branded the restoration as a bloodless revolution with some diplomacy of european countries, but the meiji rise was dependent on a lot of specific things including earlier battles with the tokugawa shogunate. This seems to map onto Great Uncle's rule of the bird world: he claims it's best that someone (male) of his lineage take power and sustain it, but the real world workers die making the tower, and his insistence on bloodlessness gets several warawara eaten and pelicans burned. There's not a lot of clear symbolism in the movie, but a ruler building an empire off of the stone of tombs stands out. And then--it just ends. A european parakeet gets angry and slices the world's foundations. Everything falls apart based on a lot of random factors. It's been hard for me to decide its moral.

But I think there is no moral. The same way there is no moral when any military loses a war, the same way a civilian mother dying in a fire bomb has no moral, and maybe the same way Mahito hitting his head on the rock has no moral. Morality can be constructed after, but I posit the point of the fantasy is enough space and time to reflect on losses and loves, big and small. To mourn his mother, to fight for Natsuko, to humanize Kiriko. When Mahito gets summoned to the adventure, he leaves "How Do You Live?" open on his desk. The journey is what he has instead of a written life lesson. Mahito isn't entirely passive, and two of his most important choices are emotional ones: He rejects the perfection of his Great Uncle's plan, ultimately letting it go, and he chooses to remember everything slightly longer. This movie could be seen as a reckoning with the past. Whatever meaning you ever can find, two pieces are always necessary in any full processing of the past: letting go and hanging on.

Cottagecore/Soft Fantasy playlist

For all my cottagecore lovers out there, here's a playlist that is (mostly) instrumental, so plenty of non-distracting songs for reading or art time or picnics or what have you. I've always wanted to share it! Anyway, here's the link to the playlist!

I've hand-picked all these songs lovingly because they make me feel cozy and like I'm in nature, so I hope you like them and have fun!

im listening to some zelda music compilations again and i gotta say 2 things

damn does the hyrule warriors, aoc included, line have some bangers or what

and damn, if you ignore the absolut blast i was having fighting koga, does totks music on its own make me feel things the game never did, like i dont wanna sound like i keep hating on it but man the music is SO GOOD in ways the game didnt deliver on and when i hear it i just kinda drift off into what id imagine the game being like with music like this and then be sad about the real one like the trailer music alone is just GOD what it made me think theyd dare do with the story after turning what was largely considered THE zelda gameplay so on its head, now surely totks gonna be daring in terms of story, its the most logical progressio-

oh :(

Vaguely Ghibli inspired Lamb.

Is this anything?

I would argue that Whisper of the Heart is like, a spiritual opposite of Kiki's Delivery Service. It's not about loving something confidently, becoming disillusioned and then finding that middle ground to start finding enjoyment again, but finding that strength to break the mold.

Shizuku starts the movie already kind of jaded. She's not depressed per say, but everything in her world is a little grey and monotonous, but becomes brighter as she starts interacting with the world, Seiji and most importantly her love of writing. The film is about taking those first steps to developing skills and finding a voice. It's good
