These two lines in the movie make me the most mentally unwell.

"I should have been the one to go. You needed your mother more than you needed me."

The amount of layers to this, oh my god. He's blaming himself for being alive. He probably wants to die. He genuinely thinks Adrian needs Emilie more.

And it's been YEARS since Emilie's passed away. Look how tiny Adrian is over there, he only just about comes about the bedpost. Gabriel still looks like he did in the pictures of when Adrian was little. It's been literal years. It could have literally been a full decade ago.

And Gabriel breaks the narrative here. He's supposed to be telling a story, he's supposed to be saying what happened in the past. But at this point, he doesn't say "your mother was taken from us" or anything like that referencing Emilie's passing. The story breaks, he's using a statement. I should have been the one to go. It's completely out of the story, because he isn't saying what he felt then, there's no "I felt like I should have been the one to go". It's just "I should have been."

Because he still thinks this. It's been about a decade, and his opinion, his feelings about this, is still "I should have died". It interrupts his storytelling because of how strongly he feels this way, almost like it's a fact to him.

And then he follows it with "You needed your mother more than you needed me." Again, he says this like it's a fact, like Adrian actually did need his mother more. Because he believes it himself. And this could be because of so many things. It could be because of the way people consider the mother to be the one supposed to care for the children much more than the father, or it could be that Gabriel himself didn't see how much Adrian needed him, or even that Gabriel didn't see himself as useful to Adrian. Especially because he said he should have been the one to die. He's essentially saying he was useless. That he was expendable but Emilie wasn't. He literally is implying he doesn't see any worth in himself regarding being a father.

And then it's not just his grief, it's Adrian's grief that has him desperate to bring Emilie back. He literally doesn't care about himself, he wants his son to be happy and doesn't see himself as able to do that. He loves him to the point of being suicidal and self-sacrificing if it would give Adrian what he need, all while simultaneously not seeing himself as what Adrian needs because he doesn't think he has that much worth regarding him.

#it is one am and i am on my shit #Gabriel agreste has made me so insane about him ever since i first watched the show #like he's unironically been my favourite character. probably because i wasn't able to watch the full level of his bullshit in the show #movie gabriel is exactly the character i wanted/envisioned gabriel to be and the redemption was exactly what i wanted #and i will randomly remember the movie exists and die inside when i remember this scne #and don't get me started on how many times he tightened his grip around adrian when hugging him oh my god #this man was so convinced he couldnt make adrian happy himself he didnt see that Adrian was slowly recovering on his own #and the fact that Adrian wasnt even angry he just understood he knew and he hugged him oh my god #adrian had finally learnt to let go and now he wanted his dad to let go too-and dont get me started on how he calls gabriel dad #also “you have to let her go” maybe its not just Emilie herself he meant but the idea of her and what she meant #like the idea that emilie was perfect emilie is what adrian needed that gabriel is nothing next to her #aughhhhhdhhshsjsjsshsh im going insaneeee #miraculous awakening #miraculous ladybug #miraculoustalesofladybugandcatnoir #miraculous movie #gabriel agreste #adrian agreste #chat noir #hawkmoth #hawk moth

one of a kind living in a world gone plastic

baby you're so classic

@most-tragic-character-tournament

(all my thoughts in the tags)

#anyway i found their theme song and lost my mind #tragedyshipping #lloyd garmadon #ninjago #antigone #tagamemnon #pollshipping #i'm gonna be thinking about this for the next hour before i go to sleep #i just wanted to make a playlist for them i didn't think i would find a perfect fit #they have taken over many of my braincells and i can't even complain this is the enrichment i needed #all i'm saying is the idea of a movie trailer for these two is taking shape more and more and this should 100% be the accompanying song #not even a full trailer because that would take forever but like. a 30 second TV spot. family drama. them not really getting along at first #(e.g. glaring at each other while being forced to dance or something)#but then warming up to each other on the road because road trips have my soul when it comes to movies ok #i want them to stargaze in the bed of a hotwired pickup truck while on the run from people who demand bloodshed (a poll winner)#the slow(?) burn of not wanting to be in this mess to actually enjoying spending time together to something more #(trailer/commercial ends on or just after “baby you're so classic” with the cut to the title and in theaters date)#maybe most of the tv spot is them arguing and making life hell for one another but it's hard to deny there's something more brewing #(one of the reviews is just ''A modern classic'' because i think i'm funny)#i really want the title to be a play off of them meeting through the tragic tournament but it's completely different from the tone i want #''tragedy: null and void'' is a fun one #i've never been the greatest at titles if they don't hit me like a truck #anyway hi folks i'm sorry if you have no idea what's happening and see this in your tags #willowarts

So I wrote this next song a few days before my nineteenth birthday. And, um, back then, I was so terrified of change, and I was especially afraid of growing up. And I'd, like, cry at all my birthday parties as a child. Very, very emo.

Now that I'm 21, I don't feel afraid of growing up at all. In fact, I'm really, really looking forward to it. And, um, if I could give any advice to the 18-year-old girl who wrote this song, I'd tell her not to worry so much, and that she has no idea how many magical, magical things are waiting just around the corner for her. So, uh, with that, here's "teenage dream".

- Olivia Rodrigo at the Guts World Tour before playing teenage dream

#i love this speech SOOO SOO MUCH #it's like she took words out of my brain and put them together beautifully #and teenage dream the song that you are #and like yeah i used to hate birthdays too idk it seemed like a ticking clock like time is running out #for what i don't know #but now that im 21 i feel like okay i look forward to 22 and 23 and 25!! how wonderful to be able to live on my own #and have fun with my friends and have a small life that's completely mine!! it's scary like yeah what if things don't work out #what if yeah they all say that it gets better it gets better but what i don't #but idk growing up has given me perspective like even if it won't be perfect it'll still be okay there are not only two #options one happy one sad it's more of a spectrum and life naturally deviates between them no matter who you are #and that's okay!!!! you wouldn't be able to appreciate being happy if you've never known sadness #and tbh all of this is just a part of being human the whole experience and im very grateful for it #okay getting emo at 1 pm because i saw the tour movie but anyway i love liv soooo much #she even accepted a gift cowboy hat from fans that said 'gays for livvie' that's so cute!!!! she's the bestest #olivia rodrigo #teenage dream #guts world tour #guts world tour movie

Reading a fic that's so well written I wish I could close my eyes and just let the descriptions and atmosphere wash over me, but the dilemma with closing my eyes is, well, I then would not be able to continue reading this fic, now would I.

#fanfiction #fanfic #reading #i don't read longform fic very often but this one is so good wow i'm in awe and clicking next chapter next chapter #the movie it's for I'm not even a particular major fan of itself but I am a fan of the character and the ideas and oh my god #they perfect it to a tee in every way even better than the movie could and yet keep their characterization spot on in line with the og #it's amazing the way they balance the humour and banter with the suspense/tension and drama/horror #and their descriptions are gorgeous/pick out just the right details #their follow-up is more canonical to me as a sequel than the actual official sequel which is wrong in so many ways #and I am in love with their writing style so much my god #i'll say the fic if asked probably will honestly make a rec post for it when I'm done just because wow but here i'm just vague posting #i mean it's 10 yrs old and I've been reading fic for 8-9 yrs and it is truly one of the best I've read in all of that #from all my tags I mean you can labour a guess for the fandom or fic and if you were to guess it wow good job I'd be impressed #but anyway !!! love finding masterpieces I hope this person decided to become an author in those 10 yrs almost *sobs*#I'm gonna say the fic anyway whatever it's From Out the Ocean Risen by Bluestar god it's good (for p/acific r/im)

#just saw that tweet abt pink days on the set of the barbie movie & i think it made me realize why it - the marketing etc - annoys me so #'margot robbie went around collecting fines and donated them to charity haha' okay. look.#that's just the perfect metaphor for how it worked for us - me - anyone who wants to align themselves with me - when we were girls #isn't it #because you grow up and you desperately want to fit in with the other girls but you don't & you don't know why #but you're surrounded by things and people telling you what a normal girl is like & little-to-none of it is things you find appealing or #interesting. makeup and fashion and skin care. gymnastics and romance. you're told that you are obligated to be pretty #but prettiness has never been part of your perception of yourself. femininity is an arcane concept #an exclusive club that will never grant you entrance #& the only comfort you can give yourself is deciding that it's dumb anyway. shallow. vain. who cares about looks and boys and all of that #idiots that's who #but this is Doing It Wrong too isn't it? because now everyone who has taught you that you will forever fail at femininity turns around #& tells you that's patriarchal oppression and YOU'RE the bad one by distancing yourself from something that always made you feel defective #'YOU may have never lived up to this impossible standard of perfection but some ppl do and actually it's fine to be like that!#hyperfeminine traditionally beautiful women are the most oppressed group of all & finally we will stand up for our rights!'#'girls can be pretty AND conpetent' but that's not what they're actually saying. isn't it.#because performing femininity correctly is the prerequisite. a threshold you can never cross and you know that. & that's fine #but somehow that's wrong too because you're not supposed to make peace w that are you. you're SUPPOSED to want to do it right #even if you don't and never have and never will #and once again everyone is yelling at you that this club isn't meant for you. if you criticize the barbie movie you're antifeminist #if you refuse to wear pink I'll make you pay a fine #hashtag girlpower #(well im not a girl. not a guy either. and not a secret third thing. just bad at femininity.#bad at being a person. and y'all don't need to tell me you don't want me in your club #I've always known that. i just wish you'd stop expecting me to beg for entrance.)

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

2000's Trio 2020's Trio

Imagine how great it would be if the PJO show is successful and gets the Harry Potter treatment where we get to see these kids grow up throughout the show!

If the Golden Trio was our big 2000's trio, I hope the Original Trio will be our big 2020's trio💙💙💙

#these are my 2 favorite middle grade book series and I'd love if I can have well done adaptations for both of them to squeal over #I actually didn't get into the HP movies until they were all well done and over with #so i didn't really get to 'grow up' with the characters in real time as the movies were coming out #so I'm really hoping I'll get that chance with the actors in the PJO series #how cool would it be to watch the Original Trio and the rest of CHB grow up alongside the show in real time?#also my mom and I love marathoning HP together and I'm really hoping the PJO show can be the next big thing we obsess over together #I convinced her to watch PJO with me be telling her PJO is like HP and showing her the trailer and musical songs #she was interested and said she's into mythology too so its a start!#tbh I'm looking forward to the PJO show way more than the HP reboot #mostly because I'm so attacted to the films and think they're pretty good adaptations even if they're not perfect #but with PJO we don't have any GOOD and FAITHFUL adaptations at all #what movies? there are no PJO movies #I still might give the HP reboot a watch esp. if its good but still. the movies mean so much to me #i love both series and there's nothing wrong with that #please be nice #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #disney+#the original trio #annabeth chase #grover underwood #harry potter #harry potter movies #harmione granger #ron weasley #the golden trio #harry potter reboot #hbo max #2000s trio and 2020s trio

i unfortunately know the answer to this question but does chris carter realize that if he had laid off of the completely-glossing-over-rape storyline for ONE FUCKING EPISODE with postmodern prometheus he would have had a nearly perfect hour of tv

#THE CAMPY B&W HORROR MOVIE STYLE WAS SO PERFECT #and don't even talk to me about the ending. ohhhhh my god #also... s5 mulder shot in black and white... if i speak...#(scully too. she always looks like a 1940s film star but oh my god)#as is though there was a moment where i said out loud #“vince gilligan writing mulder to call calderon a medical rapist on screen save me”#anyway. next up is xmas carol. I'm Scared #and will definitely be writing a more in-depth followup to my detour lb talking about how i feel like xmas carol #tanked ANY chance of msr happening in s5. and honestly before xmas carol the chances were HIGH #arwen.text #txf liveblog

a few days ago i (re)watched the 25th anniversary concert of les misérables and. oh god. i forgot how much this musical did éponine dirty

#partly javert too but éponine is the clearer victim #of simplifying complex characters into more easily lovable (or villainous in javert's case) archetypes #so the audience can root or despise them accordingly #(i think cocciante's nddp is also guilty of this but imo there this adaptation choice makes more sense and is better executed)#say what you want about the 2012 movie and you'd probably be right... but at least they tried and partially succeded in giving éponine back #her complex moral ambiguity with not giving cosette's letter to marius and selfishly goading him into a sorta murder/suicide plan #which more or less is what happens in the book #(javert is also allowed to be more than a caricatural villain. i mean... russell crowe's singing is. Not Great #but at least the script show the character's many layers. or it attempts to #nvm that i don't even consider javert a villain. he's 100% an antagojist but far from the main villain of the story #he's both victim and perpetrator. the law and society at large are the villains here. he's actually a good cop... which is the point!)#éponine in the book is a multilayered bordering on grey and easily the most complex female character of the whole book #but god. in the musical she's just there pining for marius and being all Saint Éponine of Saint Michel #it's insufferable. i mean i still like her but she's TOO perfect. i wouldn't have had such an issue with it if i didn't read the book #.... probably. but damn we were robbed. les mis miniseries with actually accurate depictions of the characters/the plot in general when???#(preferably made by someone who *understands* the book. tyvm)#having said that i still love the musical to pieces. the music is great the songs are beautiful the story is touching #and the epilogue makes me uglycry every damn time. but i think we really missed a chance with éponine ngl #val speaks #txt

sigh someone on twitter extolled the virtues of furiosa and said it was better than fury road. I just saw furiosa. they are wrong.

#the brilliant thing about MMFD was how it needed no backstory.#it required no explanation of who these people were or why they wanted what they wanted #that story gripped you by the throat and pulled you along for the ride and by god you took it #bleh. also I didn't really care for the numbered parts of the story that communicated the passage of time #I guess that's where the “saga” came in but I do think one of my favorite parts of MMFD was that...#it was a contained storyline! there were clearly so many other parts/facets of that world we didn't see #but we didn't need to see them becasue that wasnt the story that film was telling #and I feel like ... I dunno. MMFD was perfect. furiosa was not perfect. furiosa was not needed?#we already knew enough from MMFD about why furiosa had wound up as an imperator #seeing the full story I genuinely don't feel like I gained anything new about her and her character #everything we watch her become (or even begin as) in furiosa... all of it is apparent in MMFD #idk this movie felt extraneous. bummer!#good news is i was really worried about ATJ playing furiosa but she did fine. i have no complaints about her!#anyways anyone who wants to discuss come hit me up in the comments or reblogs or askbox whatever #I wish to dig into this lol #man that tweet got my hopes up. but i did not have the reaction to this that i wanted to have #when i saw MMFD in theaters it was a religious experience. that movie rewired my brain. I'd never seen a female action star like furiosa #all furiosa did was make me want to rewatch MMFR #also jesus christ I just realized I'd been typing MMFD for some reason. lol forgive me I'm on my phone sitting in the theater parking lot #pretend I typed MMFR that whole time

what do you know about city of bones

#the film had a choke hold on 7 year old me #you don't understand how mad i was when i found out it was a failure #don't get me wrong ik the film is absolute shit (tho still a comfort of mine)#but it was a movie that had robert jamie and lilly #needless to say i had a crush on all three of them #and a personal vendetta against the tv show cast #i think how much of a 2014 time capsule the film is also played into my love for it #The casting was literally perfect and that vendetta I speak of is exactly why now at the age of 18 #i still refuse to even think of touching the show #I'm still sour dude #jamie campbell bower #lilly collins #robert sheehan #city of bones

To everyone who is putting a JayDick spin on Mean Girls are completely missing the absolutely beauty of the TimDick romance, Jason & Tim bromance, and the Tim vs Damian conflict that is perfect for this movie.

#I'm not biased at all #okay that's sarcasm I'm extremely biased #but like the whole movie is perfect for it #urgh I guess I need to draw it #now where to find screenshots of this movie?#you cannot convince me that Damian is not the perfect Regina George #all that repressed rage in a privilege upbringing?#Damian 100%#Tim's parents canonically travel around the world for their job #Even a circus don't necessarily travel around the world lol #TimDick #DickTim #Jason & Tim #all that untapped potential #yes I'm posting this on October 3rd because why not #Mean Girls AU

anyone saying the barbie movie is a 10/10 must be tripping balls, holy shit. like i get liking the movie. but for real read some judith butler and elevate your feminism past 2010-Buzzfeed-Disney-Princess-girlboss "men and women are different species" "there must be the oppressor and the oppressed in gender dynamics, so women might as well be on the top this time" feminism like oh my god

#mine #i don't even wanna tag this cuz i don't want 2 just be a hater #but the feminism in the barbie movie has me tearing my fucking hair out #the camera implications vs the script.......#the casting. the messaging. the way everyone's favourite parts are the ken parts #bc ken is treated as more of a real character with an arc than barbie is #idk like parts of the movie WERE fun #but the fact that the movie ends without a gender integrated ending...#like the movie was in fact NOT arguing for gender equality and integration #which is such a misunderstanding of like. Gender politics and a lot of feminism #feminists don't want the same systems but women are oppressing the men. oh my god #sorry ignore this if u really liked the movie & don't wanna hear it #but like. even if u liked the movie. perfect movie? come the fuck on #this movie was MESSY
