kiryu you were not about to write that on your bucket list you lying faker you gay ass homosexual man
#infinite wealth spoilers#look personally i do think he likes cabaret clubs#but like. to make friends. and to talk to people in a somewhat formulaic setting#and i figure he's been to so many that it's not high on his end-of-life priority list to like. do that more#he wouldn't be seeking his last nut he'd be going to the human equivalent of a cat cafe#kiryu when he fucking lies.png#he's probably joking here but along with the 'yeah of course i've proposed before' thing i think he's just. really trying to fit in#which is so sad. girl you're dying let yourself be gay#if you look at it that way the loss of the dress up abilities he got in gaiden is actually kinda heartbreaking like. peepaw can't be#anonymously cunty anymore. he's gone back to being kiryu. to being the dragon of dojima. and as much pain as that title has caused him#he's still worried about looking cool. earlier in this scene he's talking about letting that go and eating eggs n shit but like#it doesn't go away completely and i don't think it will. obviously i don't think the re-closeting thing is particularly intended#tis a niche reading but it's one that makes me very very emo. kiryuuuuuu i love youuuuuu what the fuckkk AUGHHHRH#ehatever anyway#rgg#ryu ga gotoku#kiryu kazuma#nyarla dni

Just wrote out a long rant about my current fandom only to take a breath and delete it without posting. I may be really annoyed right now, but I deserve a gold star for not being annoying on main 😌
#this is a joke#well the gold star part is#before you ask its not about what you probably think its about#its a very niche problem actually#i just wanted to rant about it

It would be insane if we weaponized mommy issues against men the way we weaponize daddy issues against women. Any time a man criticizes a woman we go “awww poor little baby boy didn't have a mommy who loved him” and all of his beliefs become embarrassing and he has to exit in shame. Like. Don’t fucking do that, but it would be absolutely insane if people did that.
#the thing is 'you have experienced pain' probably shouldn't be as effective as it is at shutting down a conversation#and don't get me wrong I'm aware of the reverse phenomenon where having experienced pain is used to legitimize your beliefs#but that's just the other side of the coin right?#treating pain as transformative in a way that either devalues you or legitimizes you#both of which are narrowminded ways to look at it#also I meant this as a joke but that literally is exactly how people talk about paul mccartney#only I don't think they know they're being condescending and denying him agency and maturity and the chance to be heard or valued#and I do think that's a very niche example I don't think that's a widespread thing with dudes like crying 'daddy issues' is with girls#pro tip: if you replace 'poor little baby' with the person's actual name you become 70% less condescending#op

I follow someone -> they post something about an unimportant topic that I disagree with -> I unfollow -> a few months later I forget why I unfollowed them -> repeat
#i remember what happened with the last person#it was a super niche thing that i have an extra-strong opinion abt so it's not likely to happen again#but they seem very opinionated so something ELSE similar will probably make me dislike them again#in other news i really really really am not a big fan of suicide jokes. many times i debate whether or not to unfollow ppl for making them#I said this#tumblr

I do think a lot about how fucking awful other leftist settlers have treated J Sakai and his work. I remember first learning about the book Settlers as like a niche meme in online circles prior to learning more about from the groups that he was involved. When I finally read it it was very eye opening but if you do you'll be shocked how much of it you've probably already heard before. At least summaries of its points.
A class and racial analysis of the colonies and the early republic. Overview of the death toll wrought by colonizers on Indigenous people. Analysis of how slavery operated and how slavers and poor settlers created and enforced a racial and economic hierarchy. Discussion of the deep racism in unions and how enthusiasticly genocidal settler workers and organizers were (and still are). Analysis of the rise of US neocolonial global dominance.
And like groundbreaking as the book was, none of his historical research was original. That wasn't the point of it. He wrote the early draft as a research project for his comrades going over the latest in academic writing on race and class in american history. While left-wing analysis was still emerging in academic american history (academic books like Zinn's A Peoples History and Davis' Women, Race, and class were published just 2 and 3 years prior, respectively), the basic facts were already well documented.
But because this book was written by a non academic revolutionary for underground orgs like the Black Liberation Army, because of its very well backed up conclusion drawn not only from historical analysis but from his and his comrades own experience from the 60s-80s that the settler left is primarily reactionary and cannot be relied on, people made a fucking joke out of this book. The settler left at the time either ignored it entirely or reacted with utter contempt and this had only grown since. Nowadays the most the settler left at large engages with it is as a meme or making fun of it for spelling it "amerika". I'm serious go post about it in any leftist reddit and see what kinda reaction you get.
It's a very good book. It's a very serious and well thought out argument on what our strategy as communists must be in order to win. And he demonstrates very well that if a plan relies solely on winning the sympathy of the settler working class then it will fail. Go read it. And while you're at it check out other revolutionary writers from the time like George Jackson or Assata Shakur. You'll be better for it.

Bots going throught strong food confusion probably hear the kids strong opinions daily considering three of them different countries and stuff
Jack: I mean we can eat anything but the big question is Should you thought?
Miko: Sounds like someone with food allergies would say
Jack: You maybe can eat raw fish without consequences but i rathet not risk salmonella or listeriosis
Raf: *probably has abuelita cooking lots of good food*Food is food
Funnily enough, Jack fusses over that because of fast-food experience and horror stories by restaurants and hospitals. Plus, he picked up on some of June's wellness habits, especially since Jack tended to get sick all the time as a young child. He warned Miko that botulism cases in the US usually come from improperly stored home canned food or the gas station nacho cheese sauce.
Miko came from Japan, so she had several culture shocks to jump, especially with food. American dining portions are huge since they're a very big (pun intended) on leftovers. Taking food home to eat later is deeply ingrained. It's common for Americans to eat out, but Japan is the opposite. Another thing that annoyed her was the advertising, but now she jokes that the pictures are tastier than the true product. And the amount of meat! It astounded her how much fucking red meat Americans like to eat. She deeply misses having a konbini because the American equivalent isn't the same, especially since the safety standards are different.
Raf can only be trusted with boiling water and ready meals since the girls and women in the Esquivel family shoo him out. He's familiar with ground pits since barbacoa is on the menu with family gatherings. Raf has excellent swiping skills as his siblings and cousins have the strength to shove him. He teams up with his sister as she does distractions, and he snatches away the good stuff.
So yeah, along with the 'Can you eat that?' game, the Autobots play '20 Questions' on preparation, ingredient acquisition, and cooking.
Supermarkets and farms are a Twilight Zone to them. There's food with different names to differentiate sizes, parts, and colors. (Arcee had thought the kids were messing her with broccoli and cauliflower.) Earth's varied languages add more to the confusion. Humans can eat rocks, poisons, and mold. There are perishable and non-perishable foods. Food that eats other food. Food that improves soil composition. Food that plays niche ecological roles. Food that's only about status. And choices, so many choices. A ridiculous number of choices in an American supermarket. Oh, and humans have a passionate love affair with cabbages and nightshade. Or with just plants in general.
Arcee started it as a joke, but now all the Autobots ask the resident humans if they did their "cabbage runs" and "picked up their posions" (aka grocery shopping with a play on the English idiom: "pick your poison." Yes, they have been told the meaning. No, they don't care because it makes so much more sense to them, especially with the nightshade and spices consumption).
#ask#transformers#transformers prime#acree#tfp#miko nakadai#jack darby#raf esquivel#june darby#cybertronian culture#cultural misunderstandings#culture clash#cultural differences#maccadam#my thoughts#my writing#you know how atla has the cabbage man? the meme continues since the autobots think humans really LOVE cabbages

This is such crack brain fart idea 😶
What if some blue lock boys ask the reader what brand her shoes (or something dumb like that) over text and reader sent them a voice message on text and it’s just:
“Hi baby, okay so the brand is—- *insert car accident noises*”
Have you seen those TikToks???
If you do this request, it can be any blue lock boys you want
HELPPP i saw something similar on hinge, and i was hunched over the side of my bed laughing for like 20 minutes. in general, i don't think pranks with any of the bllk boys would go well (unless you wanted to be punted like a football, american-style) but i'm taking a risk today, so here you go:
sae sees through your bullshit in a peloponnesian minute. he has morning practice, three interviews, and a daily nap to get to, so what makes you think he has time for you to fake a car accident? leaves you on read. (brutal, i know.)
rin is mildly concerned, but he's too smart to fall for whatever prank you have planned. he'd probably reply with a sarcastic, dry ass response or a deadpan emoji. refuses to talk to you for the rest of the day because what if you actually got into a car accident? he would lose all sanity. tbh he can't stand it when people make light of serious situations even if it's just a lighthearted joke.
kaiser is petty. he sends you an official funeral invite titled "in loving memory of y/n." he personally designed it in photoshop and even added those tacky glitter rose GIF animations on the front. coincidentally, everyone in your immediate circle also happened to receive the same mass email chain with those invites, so you had to explain to your family, friends, and co-workers that (1) you did not in fact die in a car accident and (2) your funeral is not set for the 15th. (you never played a prank on michael again.)
isagi freaks out. he's calling 911/119, whatever emergency service there is. immediately calls you and nearly breaks down in fear of losing you. when you tell him it was merely a prank, he laughs in relief but internally he's cursing you out with every colorful name in existence.
ness is isagi but even more high-strung. there is no time to call the ambulance in his mind. he's already thundering down the highway looking for the evidence of your car wreck. calls you and screams ballistically into the speaker: "WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?" so yeah....don't ever play a prank on ness. it's for your sake, not his.
shidou takes you up one notch and sends a picture of himself in the emergency room with a cast on his leg and an IV drip. this spawn of satan took your message literally and decided to copy you and got into a real car accident. so now you have to take time off work and sign the hospital discharge papers because he listed you as his sole emergency contact.
nagi doesn't give a shit. he's already chronically online, and reo's played pranks on him before. probably texts you an "ok" and then tells you he's run out of toilet paper again, so you need to stop by the store to buy some.
reo matches your energy. he replies with: oh yeah, i've heard of that brand. it's the—*insert sound of trucks colliding and screeches across asphalt* you both had a good laugh after.
ok that's all i have for now. this is going to reach a very niche demographic, but you're welcome.

One Shots in Red, White & Royal Blue - Part 1: Alex's Room
Modern movies are fucking obsessed with jump cuts. Even scenes where it is completely unnecessary get cut to shreds. There's films I've seen where one, single sentence line got three jump cuts in it.
After watching Red, White, & Royal Blue over ten times now, I’ve noticed so many moments where they could’ve made jump cuts, but didn’t. There were moments where I was expecting it to cut because of how used I am to other movies cutting the shit out of scenes. They did not do that here, and believe me, it makes a difference.
Cuts temporarily remind the viewer that they're watching something scripted, professionally filmed, and edited. It's a subconscious feeling that most people probably don't even notice.
In case you're unfamiliar, a one shot in film is when a sequence happens without any cuts. One of the benefits of using them is the believability they add. Any amount of time could've progressed between cuts, like if they film a scene on two different days. When you see everything happening in real time, it just feels more real.
Red, White, & Royal Blue balanced their editing and camerawork incredibly well, and utilized one shots way more than I see a lot of other films doing nowadays. They use it for a variety of scenes, and it's done very well.
Example No. 1
From this moment, where Henry enters the room:
GIF by taylorz-nicholasg
To Henry pushing Alex onto the couch:
GIF by sheisraging
To when the sequence ends:
GIF by gay-bucky-barnes
is ALL ONE SHOT.
There are no camera cuts during that sequence, and there's a significant amount of movement and activity going on.
They are obviously aggressively making out, and crossing the room at the same time. Tracking this part might be common, but when they get to the couch, and Henry pushes him, I got this gut feeling that a jump cut was about to happen, but it didn't.
Instead, the camera rotates around to that side perspective, and lets Henry come back into frame and onto the couch in real time.
GIF by sheisraging
The camera doesn't change position until Henry moves down, which could've been a cut to Alex's face, but they opted to zoom in on him, keeping the shot connected.
GIF by sheisraging
This is not a small series of events to capture in one shot, and it means that Nicholas and Taylor had to memorize and perform the entire scene's blocking as a whole rather than in parts. If they mess up, they can't just say: "hey try that line again"
A one shot scene like this means that if you mess up at any point during the sequence, you can't use the take. You have to do it again from the beginning. That's the point of a one shot.
I think it's such a testament to Taylor and Nicholas' talent, skill, and dedication that they did such a long shot involving so much intimate, and difficult, choreography.
Breaking it down, they have to kiss for the first part, but it's not just kissing; it's aggressive kissing. Their eyes are closed, and they're grabbing at each other, while crossing the room. Taylor has to walk backwards. They need to have really good spatial awareness in order to move without hitting something or tripping.
Once they hit the couch, Nicholas has to undo the buttons on Taylor's shirt. If you've ever worn a button-down shirt, you know that sometimes you just struggle with those damn buttons; there's a moment in Paris where they joke about them. Nick has to undo them fast, and deliver his lines too. If he's too slow with the buttons, or they get stuck, take ruined.
Nick has to shove Taylor onto the couch. He has to be visibly forceful, but not knock him down so hard he falls off the couch, or land in a way that make it difficult for him to shift into where he's supposed to be. Nick also has to climb around onto the couch fast enough.
Obviously once they're on the couch, the difficulty comes in that they are being intimate, kissing and grabbing each other, and they need to remain in character. Then they have lines, and Nicholas has to get even more intimate by kissing his neck. He undoes another button or two and kisses his chest and down his stomach, all while delivering his lines correctly.
If either of them messes up a line, or breaks character for a second, or loses their balance, or anything, go back to the start, do it all again.
That is so much, and the two of them nailed every part of it. I still admire how they were able to trust each other and become confident in doing all that they do.
This being a one shot created a really incredible scene. It's fluid, and grounded in space and time. It's not the only scene that's drastically improved by the fact that it's a one shot, so I'll probably write more essays breaking down those scenes cause this movie has me in a choke hold.
Update: If you enjoyed this essay & would like to support me, you can give me a tip on my Ko-Fi! ☺️
