do you think toji and/or sukuna are into looksmaxxing. i need to know.
choso is probably near to tears just thinking about it - he's having a hard time adjusting to all these new trends anyways, wdym there's a whole section of it now?
i feel like gojo just flexes his "natural" looks, nanami doesn't even know he has them until someone comments on your post saying "you won/we're so back."
omg hellaurrr i really pulled out a notebook to jot these down (this isn't even a joke, my keyboard was messing with me but i was worried i'd forget to answer properly) but now i may transcribe my notes on jjk + looksmaxxing 😭 🤭 u always send me the funniest things
gojo once found a wrinkle on his forehead and cancelled class for the day. now he sleeps with a cucumber and a jade roller. when he gets drunk, he claims that a kpop idol dm'ed him for advice on clear skin, never says who though (#liar) and in high school he used a self tanner once because suguru once likened him to an overgrown, pale musty mushroom. ended up with orange streaks everywhere. does pilates but will never admit it. wishes that in another life he was an influencer just so someone would send him pr packages because its nice to get presents in a box. definitely calls himself an icon.
geto thinks essential oils are a part of looksmaxxing so he feels better on the inside. literally floats around like a walking bottle of sandalwood and lavender. tried growing facial hair because he thought it would be great to accentuate his jawline, but someone called him a discount samurai and he had to cancel the cult meeting that day. thinks looksmaxxing isn't just physical but also a state of mind, so he carries around books like crime and punishment to look smart. thought that wearing glasses would make him look smarter and had a phase where he wore fake ones and not one person complimented them.
sukuna secretly has a stash of protein powder. it goes in everything, smoothies and sprinkled over raw meat. says that he doesn't give a flying fuck about these things, but used to read old, ancient scrolls about medieval skincare. got uraume to make him a scrub from red spider lilies and wondered why his skin was burning sooo bad afterwards. sharpens his nail with blades and claims its better than just normally clipping your nails, but he always ends up scratching himself bad. has a collection of sheet masks. has the best eyebrows of all time and knows this (gets them plucked). has an anonymous #hater tiktok account where he comments rude things under gojo's posts.
nanami. you are soooo right, he probably doesn't know or give a fuck about these things because he's actually employed. but hates the idea of a ten step skincare routine for he thinks that the best routine is simple: cleanser + moisturiser + sunscreen. believes in the power of a neutral toned wardrobe with clean, tailored silhouettes. but there are photos of him out there from when he was 18 years old, with black eyeliner on his waterline. shoots down everyone's ridiculous looksmaxxing attempts. jawline exercises? just chew your food properly. botox and fillers? try eight hours of sleep before reaching for the needles. want to post a glow up journey? well, just focus on yourself and move in silence. kind of gojo's biggest opp for all this, and being so clean and put together effortlessly...
#toji def has a gym acc where he does the stupid back muscle poses (that's my own haterism coming through!)#and he buys cheap bulk powder to mix with water because 'muscles don't care about taste'#choso is just...that gorgeous. hes from the 1870s he doesn't gaf truly. will break out in hives if u talk about it#— answered !#HEHEHEHEH what a fun ask!!!!!!!!!!!!#jjk x reader#gojo satoru x reader#geto suguru x reader#nanami kento x reader#sukuna x reader

scorpius during the winter time ₊˚。⋆❆⋆。˚₊
It's almost winter and I can't stop thinking about the sweetest, winter, angel baby. Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy gets sick every winter because his immune system is awful. More on that, getting sick at Hogwarts is hard for him, because wdym Draco isn't there to make him soup? Wdym Astoria isn't there to make his bed? At least he has Albus, who is struggling to help Scorpius keep up with course work. Albus only attempts to pay attention to Wizarding History for Scorpius, and even then he's struggling.
Then, there is Scorpius's birthday which is in January. Draco is mailing him an inordinate amount of parcels and at least one sappy card. Albus is also nicking one of the muffins from the breakfast table. Students aren't supposed to light things like candles inside the castle, but Albus does it anyways (every year he burns something). Meanwhile, Scorpius is just overwhelmed with all the love surrounding him and desperately trying to write as many thank you letters as possible. He appreciates everything dearly, but also is ready for all this attention to be put OFF of him.
There is also the little things such as:
Scorpius walking to his morning classes with a mug of hot cocoa in his hand.
Scorpius cuddling up next to the fireplace with his Ancient Runes homework out.
Scorpius helping Neville decorate the greenhouse for the holidays.
Scorpius loaning Albus his enchanted, wool sweater from Germany.
Scorpius baking Draco sugar bread cookies during Winter Break.
Scorpius and Albus having a Christmas movie marathon where Albus shows Scorpius Home Alone 1 & 2 (Scorpius is obsessed).
I might make a longer head canon post soon. For now though, take this because I love Scorpius and I love winter.

@zombinafonfrankenstein @seriously-nobody @abiscuit @griffinappreciator @mistressofthemacabresworld
@dreamelies @hostess-of-horror @caspertheconfused
Here is my (probably very bad) Universal Monsters chatfic!! (There’s a bunch of context for my au under the cut, so if you wanna skip it you’ll have to scroll a bit :/ )
Here’s a crapton of context for my AU:
All the characters have access to modern technology for completely unknown reasons (probably due to time travel caused by one of the scientists or something?) (and it makes for funny scenarios). Dracula and Renfield have a healthy (if a bit crazy) romantic relationship (inspired by Gomez and Morticia Addams) because I can’t bring myself to write abuse/conflict. Franky (Frankenstein’s monster) and Bea (bride of Frankenstein) are very cute kind couple (and they are ace) they also both have the intelligence of 18-20 year olds (for the sake of the plot). Jekyll and Hyde are here even though I’m pretty sure universal never made a movie with them. Both Larry Talbot and Jack Griffin’s families think they are dead. Kharis (the mummy) and Gil (creature from the black lagoon) also have average intelligence (because plot) and Kharis speaks English and whatever ancient Egyptian language he spoke when he was alive. Gil speaks English, and gets sick when in saltwater because he is (as far as I know) lagoons are (mostly) freshwater. They are all roommates living and “living” in the same house, the mansion from Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Griffin is a menace, frequently pranks everyone, and brags about crashing a train. I’m 95.9% sure none of these characters are actually “in character”, this is as “ooc” as you could get lmao
(Btw I wrote this as if it was gonna be posted on ao3 ((it’s not)) so that’s why it has chapters and chapter descriptions)
Chapter 1: documentary
(Griffin pranks Larry Talbot)
Griffin: social experiment: I play a wolf documentary in a room in the same house as a werewolf. Hypotheses: all the howling will bother him. Expected outcome: either I prank him and he’s too tired to do anything about it, or I get my ass kicked.
Jekyll: ..I- what? Don’t do that Jack. It’s mean.
Griffin: do you forget that I crashed a train?
Jekyll: oh yeah, I purposefully ignore that fact.
Griffin: rude. your ignoring one of my greatest achievements >:(
Jekyll: It’s *You’re and yes. Yes I am.
Dracula: why would a documentary bother Lawrence? It’s on a screen? Fake?
Griffin: I have that answer in the hypothesis >:) also, wdym fake?
Franky: Dracula… do you think documentaries are staged??
Dracula: yes..??? Aren’t they?
Jekyll: No!
Larry: whoever is watching that documentary about wolfs- PLEASE WATCH LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.
Griffin: OMFG HYPOTHESIS = CORRECT XD
Griffin: I mean…. wow, whoever’s watching that is definitely not funny.. turn it off guys.
Larry: griffin I can hear your deranged cackling from across the house. It’s not funny, my werewolf senses are going crazy, TURN IT OFF
Griffin : why?? I’ve done no wrong 🥺
Jekyll: that’s historically inaccurate.
Larry: don’t “🥺” me! And you’ve done MUCH WRONG!
Griffin: that’s fair. But no. :)
Larry: why not?! You’re just doing it to bother me!!
Griffin: you can’t prove that! And it’s for educational purposes.
Larry: you admitted it in your previous texts idiot. I can scroll up and see them? “EdUcAtIoNaL PuRpOsEs” bs 🙄
Franky: hey griffin how about you try to bother Gil with a ocean life documentary?
Griffin: oooooooo good idea Franky!
Jekyll: Don’t encourage him Franky!!
Larry:….
In a different group chat…:
Larry: Gil is from the Brazilian Rainforest not the ocean?
Franky: it got the wolf documentary to stop didn’t it??
Larry: ooooohhhhh gotcha ;) thanks
Franky: ;) your welcome. Griffin is sometimes like a toddler, if you want to distract him just give him a shiny new toy to play with.
Larry : ah. Makes sense.
Chapter 2: when a mummy catches you…
(Gil asks an interesting question)
Gil: soooooooo…….what do mummies….. actually….. do?
Kharis: rude!!
Gil: No, I mean, if you were human, being chased by different monsters, what are the consequences?
Gil: a vampire drinks your blood, a werewolf bites you, a zombie eats you, what do mummies do to you?
Kharis: keep asking that question and you’ll find out.
Gil: I’m just wondering!!
Kharis: we beat the living hell outta you when you ask us dumb questions.
Gil: message received!! Chill!
Kharis: thanks 🙄😑
Chapter 3: jello and insomnia
(Bea is eating jello at three am and gets “inspired”)
3:17AM
Bea: could you make jello out of ranch?
Franky: honey, wtf???? Its 3am come back to bed!!
Bea: I’m in the kitchen eating. Can’t sleep. Answer the question.
Franky: no????? It’s too thick of a substance.
Bea: sad. If I could I’d eat ranch cubes with carrot jello.
Franky: ew???
Renfield: what about ketchup jello?? Or pure mayonnaise jello? Or BLOOD jello??
Dracula: that last one sounds yummy ;)
Franky: please stop :/
Bea: babe it’s for science! What about sparkling water jello?? Like- the jello is FIZZY ya know?
Dracula: carbonated jello you mean
Bea: yeah!
Franky: I hate everything about this conversation.
Renfield: relish jello.
Franky: 🤢
Dracula: I know for a fact that some of these exist. Meat jello exists.
Franky: ew, what?
Dracula: blame the Great Depression. Look it up.
Renfield: master!! What about bug jello?!
Dracula: probably not, but there are bug lollipops I think.
Renfield: oh my god I want one
Bea: cheese jello.
Franky: ALL OF YOU GO TO BED PLEASE
Dracula: I’m nocturnal and Renfield stays up late with me, tell Bea to go to bed not me
Franky: BEA PLEASE
Bea: I’ll be in bed in 5 minutes
Franky: thank you… 😮💨🥹
9:33AM
Hyde: what the HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?? (And why wasn’t I a part of it?)
Chapter 4: diary
(Griffins steals a diary to try to get secrets)
Griffin: HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OMFGGG
Dracula: oh no…
Bea: what did you do.??
Griffin: I found Kharis’ diary!! >:)
Bea: if you picked it up and took it, then you STOLE Kharis’ diary
Griffin: …shush… anyways!!! Anyone know good ideas on how to blackmail him?
Dracula: griffin that’s not a good idea.
Gil: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Griffin: whats so funny Gil? 🤔
Kharis: open the diary idiot.
Bea: oh shit Griffin you’ve been caught
Griffin: GIL DID YOU SNITCH??
Gil: no?? you haven’t opened the book yet have you??
Griffin: ……..
Griffin: …I just did.
Kharis: ;)
Griffin: f you.
Dracula: what happened? What’s in the diary?
Griffin:….. its in hieroglyphics.
Dracula: OMG
Gil: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KARMA LMAO
Griffin: :’(
Kharis: oh “boo hoo”, you were gonna blackmail me!!
Griffin: thats fair.
chapter 5: the munsters
(Hyde asks a question)
Hyde: you guys know The Munsters right?
Larry: yeah.?
Hyde: well if the dad is a “Frankenstein’s monster” character, and the mom is a vampire, why is their son a werewolf?
Larry: ….
Larry: that’s actually a good question.
Griffin: simple. Lily cheated.
Kharis: or he’s adopted? 😑
Griffin: the cheating storyline is more interesting.
Kharis: sure.
Hyde: plot twist: their milkman is a werewolf ;)
Griffin: HYDE YOU SEE MY VISION YES
Hyde: oh no what did I just start?
Kharis: please don’t encourage him.
Larry: griffin and Hyde trying to prove Lily Munster cheated:
Kharis: XD
Griffin: oh, shut up. >:(

Just a sudden idea, but i think Dr Octopus from spiderverse would look great in your style. Oh! Or maybe the gems in the ancient roman era, idk it just came to mind.
Btw i love your style beacuse, its hard to explain, but the way you draw characters makes them feel "real" while they are still stylised, idk if that makes sense.
ALso no clue where you are from but you have an eastern european digital artist vibe to your stuff, would be crazy if i was right. I noticed something like this before, somethimes people can even have diferent styles but just the way they color and shade or something like that gives away that they are east asian for example. I wonder how this works. Maybe these broader areas have traditioanally diferent ways to teach art in school and even when students develop their own styles the foundations are still showing, idk.
she was definitely fun to draw! this reminded me how much i love liv actually so thank you
the roman era was a cool idea so i'll post it just separately cause i dont like posting multiple fandoms at once lol i think i get it wdym by "real" and its the biggest compliment ever fr fr
i indeed am eastern european and I AGREE WTF IS UP WITH THAT its true that certain groups have a similar vibe when it comes to their art
like us eastern europeans get this kinda dark, detailed, low exposure, vibe of despair or nostalgia (to me lol) that makes me think of post soviet living blocks on a cold evening??? i dont know if thats just me but you brought up an interesting point honestly.....
#rat noises#doc ock#doctor octavius#doctor olivia octavius#olivia octavius#spiderverse#spiderman into the spiderverse#itsv#atsv#LIKE a lot of korean artists i see have this style where they use very little digital tools and their art is gorgeous#looks so easy to make#sharp lines simple shading#and absolutely stunning#white background and a futuristic vibe???#man what are we on bro

it's so chaotically funny the way the evan fanbase behave depending on the platform, like wdym people on tumblr have been creating blogs as evan characters and having fun all day sending funny asks to their moots while the reddit side have been bragging for months about the lost sparkle on evan's eyes??
and how do you explain the twt users spending all day long making silly jokes and messing around with the hate posts while the ig fans are creating small sects and whole cospiracy theories about natalie being an ancient witch with the hat or whatever?? it's like we have our own multiverse thing going on
and i don't even want to know what's going around on facebook lmaoo
this is a good point, the way fandoms act across platforms can vary wildly lmao i’m at the point where i’m just actively avoiding any of the craziness. evan seems to be happy and living a nice, quiet life with natalie and has work on the horizon. that’s all i care about. 🤷🏻♀️

I HATE HATE HATE GOING TO NEW FANDOMS!!! Because on one hand, OH MY GOSH the new characters to obsess over, the SHIPS!!!, the angst, the FLUFF!, the new tumblr posts!!! I don't have to always go to recent, ALL THE NEW TIK TOK CONTENT, ALL THE NEW YOUTUBE CONTENT
but also,
WDYM I HAVE TO MAKE NEW MOOTS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CURRENT MOOTS I HAVE AT THIS MOMENT DO NOT WATCH THE SAME SHOW?? You're kidding. Like, what do you mean if I have to go to people's dms, hope they don't think I'm weird, and beg to be friends???
"Just don't make new moots then" YOU DONT GET IT!!! I Need to talk about it! The notes app doesn't work anymore, I NEED someone to read what I'm saying and be like "HOLY SHIT AND AND AND AND"
This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. LIKE, OF COURSE I DONT HAVE JUJUTSU KAISEN MOOTS!!! 1. I did not even WATCH anime before this show. 2. I was posting about GREEK MYTHOLOGY which is where a solid chunk of my moots are from, 3. Greek Mythology does NOT correlate with Jujutsu Kaisen at all! One is ancient myth and the other one is a ANIME
BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT OR I GO INSANE!!!
Here's a list of reasons why you should be my moot:
-I'm awesome
-I'm smart (no I'm not)
-I will talk to you at any time no matter what time (I once accidentally did a one-nighter talking to my friend Penny)
-I like psychoanalyzing characters
-I give hcs to characters that are irrelevant because I need everyone to have character
-I write things... when I have the motivation
-If we share tik toks, I'll send you audios based off which character it reminds me of
-Did I mention I'm AWESOME???
-I love angst
#fandom culture#ao3#AND i neeed fic recs#good thing about jjk#the ships got FICS FOR DAYS#haven't been bored in a long tiem#BUT LET ME PSYCHOANALYZE EACH CHARACTER#where tf are the jjk fans#be my friend#stop playing around#message me no balls

Ah the rumors are true (and these gaming companies coordinate)
https://x.com/xbox/status/1785308276063633588?s=46
I already figured out given last year Xbox revealed Star Wars outlaws and next day we had a gameplay reveal at the Ubi forward
Remember that leak AC red menu I sent? Well that was taken down to copyright, but I think that was a Xbox not a Ubi move.
Because the leak show the build being April third and most press conference game builds are usually a few months old as they are the most stable
So I heard original red would have it reveal in May 31st…hmmm if that still true
May 31st- a press event where we get a pre render cgi trailer, proper Yasuke and Naoe reveal, details, in game screenshots. And title reveal
June 9th- Xbox will have a gameplay demo showing off the capabilities of Xbox (and if Xbox bribed them enough. Ac red will be the first day one ac game on gamepass as the last three ac rpgs on it)
June 10th- a story trailer and “bts” video where they show how yes finally we are going to Japan and their ideas and inspirations for it
With probably the nice explanation why Yasuke was chose for the second playable character
Because people want red to be reveal at Ubisoft forward…but people need to digested Yasuke at first
Like my theory craft on how to use Yasuke in a what if continuation is interesting…but modern writers are not exactly smart.
Also there a fundamental difference between my black teen dad Jrpg idea vs writers who have critical theory plaguing their minds
Not to mention they think having more non whites will bring black people into fantasy games.
When the last time they went to the cookout? The vast majority of casual players only enjoy playing Cod, GTA, tekken and other fighting games, and the occasional license hero game
Okay okay fornite
Like here my pitch
Hey casual black gamers (who barely desire to play Normie games. WHAT I still deal with it) you remember Afro samurai? Well here a game where you play as the weapon bearer Yasuke in this game Assassin Creed Shadows (that is what some people saying the game is going called) where you help a secret ancient order unify Japan. And there more it’s a RPG where you can spend over 100 hours into and explore the beautiful recreation of feudal Japan!
Warning your dumbass might become a pseudo historian and desire more knowledge
(Or you might be interested in more ac games. Hmm here an Egypt one! Now might give you more! HEHEHEHE)
And noting bad wait- okay probably will be 70 dollars…..oh great a season and battle pass!….wdym online only?!
Ubi you now got 5-6 months to reform red market system (most ac game comes out on October or November) because you seen how your own game skulls and bones and SS kills JL flopped
Ugh why I had to be born during the hard times of gaming?
Maybe in May I get more leaks
Also college educated students, people do like organic diversity.
But white people don’t like the demonization of themselves from people who make more money they do in their lifetimes
Seriously what the fuck is the culture in California and New York where it socially acceptable to treat white people like fictional characters
June 10th- a story trailer and “bts” video where they show how yes finally we are going to Japan and their ideas and inspirations for it With probably the nice explanation why Yasuke was chose for the second playable character.
This all was the official timeline then, nice of them to post it, probably gonna be a few more leaks tho
Like my theory craft on how to use Yasuke in a what if continuation is interesting…but modern writers are not exactly smart. Also there a fundamental difference between my black teen dad Jrpg idea vs writers who have critical theory plaguing their minds Not to mention they think having more non whites will bring black people into fantasy games.
They need to stop with all the tokesism crap, even a MC can be a token if it's all just stereotypical nonsense. Then again certain parts of the audience that's all they want.
Gay guys need to be flaming, lesbians are lipstick or mega dyke, Latinos are gardners, and black people are thugs or you're doing it wrong.
If Yasuke breaks into a Undercover Brother type monolouge at some point I would laugh and cry.
When the last time they went to the cookout? The vast majority of casual players only enjoy playing Cod, GTA, tekken and other fighting games, and the occasional license hero game.
Oh I miss the cookouts, had a few friends that would invite me to different ones, damn fine food. Sometimes I acted extra white just to be funny too.
Prev and Warning your dumbass might become a pseudo historian and desire more knowledge (Or you might be interested in more ac games. Hmm here an Egypt one! Now might give you more! HEHEHEHE)
I like it, I also like tricking people into learning, makes things fun and interesting.
And noting bad wait- okay probably will be 70 dollars…..oh great a season and battle pass!….wdym online only?!
Grrrrrr
Ugh why I had to be born during the hard times of gaming? Maybe in May I get more leaks Also college educated students, people do like organic diversity.
There really was a golden age for it, late late 90's till the 10's when things all started to go online, get really good complete games and y you could hit up gameFAQ's if you needed help with something (used to have to know someone who knew or call the Nintendo Power hotline at $1.99 a min if you were stuck.
Think most college educated people like that too, it's just the loud ones that are the issue.
Seriously what the fuck is the culture in California and New York where it socially acceptable to treat white people like fictional characters
Speaking as a Californian let me say, fuck those guys doing that.

this is more like it

What was the Met piece you loved that they didn’t have at the museum post card gift shop !!!!
THEM, FIRST OF ALL!!!!!
but also when i was there somehow there weren't any cards of madame x either, which is fucking crazy stupid to me... because should she not be amongst the centerpieces of the pride for the museum? hello??? helloooo??????? and the last time i was in ny, i had went specifically to go see the chroma: ancient sculpture in color exhibit? which was beautiful and soooo gorgeous and worth the trip BUT!! THERE WEREN'T ANY POSTCARDS OF THAT EXHIBIT EITHER!!!!! which is *&^%&*( incomprehensible to me... the detroit institute of art always does a little themed promo gift shop for highlight exhibits that come thru wdym THE FUCKING MET doesn't.... say sike right now.....
#i get so fucking for real serious about museum promotional stuff sorry. i collect post cards from every museum i go to ever#and its genuinely so upsetting to me when i can't keep momentos of trips or exhibits.. like the flyers and postcards and ticket stubs...#and there was a promo card from the event BUT NOTHING IN THE GIFTSHOP??? NO GLAMOR SHOTS OF THE CONSERVATION WORK??????? HUH???????????

man i sometimes forget ppl my age genuinely weren’t always raised on 80s media i KNOW how much of a “i liked it before it was cool” kind of person that makes me sound but i just saw a post abt gen Z not knowing k.ate b.ush was like… still alive even… and that’s genuinely so fucking weird to me. i can’t fathom treating these songs and movies and fashions like they’re something new you just uncovered like some ancient ruin they’ve been here for decades? wdym i popped out the womb and still of the night was playing on the radio. my dude
#paperheart.txt#disclaimer i don’t think still of the night was playing on the radio when i was born#however two early memories are definitely me trying to make a def leppard poster for my room and getting confused by the spelling#cause i was like 5 and barely could write letters at that point#and freaking the absolute fuck out every time whitesnake came on vh1#man. i may try to be a cool art rocker/goth. but inside. i am a hair rock man aren’t i.

i agree a lot with your post about self-depricating humor. It's also gotten to the point where now people are so down they just think they're bad at everything and can't improve so don't try
Like the other day I said I was bad at Greek and my friend was all "oh no no don't say that why would you say that?" and I was like "??? Cause i'm objectively bad at ancient greek wdym?"
I'm always sure of myself which means i know when I'm not good at things and have to work harder.
~sallysalmonkin
!! yeah and like the thing is it’s kinda difficult to be legitimately accurate to your own skills, especially if it’s something you’re learning (theres this thing called the dunning-kruger effect that’s a graph of confidence vs actual skill thats rlly interesting) and also it’s smth u learn like it’s not easy to automatically go ‘well i’m good at this part but i’m not that good at this’ and it’s easy to focus too much on one or the other (and it’s especially easy to focus on the negative if you’re actively trying to be better or you’re comparing yourself to another person) and i think it’s also difficult to judge your own process and none of it is particularly helped by being self deprecating about it yk
#accept compliments ! accept critisms with grace ! you’re allowed to be bad at something as equally as you’re allowed to revel in that you’re#good at something#sally tag#asks

I realised I haven't ranted about any movie for a long while so please have a childhood fave. 'Taare Zameen Par'- It's about a kid who loves to draw but performs poorly at academics. He is sent off to a boarding school as punishment (is this punishment just Indian or happens elsewhere too?) where his new art teacher figures out he is dyslexic and helps him. This movie has a lot of emotional moments and made me misty-eyed as a kid and still has the same effect. (Don't worry I am an over emotional kid.)
YES ANOTHER MOVIE REC💙💙💙💙
Hehe this is gonna be a long post so
*in Scar's voice* 🎶BE PREPAAAARED🎶
First some incoherent thoughts I had while watching the movie. (I did it with the Merlin episode yesterday an I liked it so I am gonna do it again today)
Nice title sequence. I dig it. It's not boring as the 99.9% of title sequences so cheers to that.
Why is that kid messing with dirty water ?!?!
Okay the scene with the fish was cute.
Those children are awful. Just go and collect the damn ball by yourselves it's not that difficult
Wow that main kid is a really good actor.
WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!??! HE HIT HIM?!??!?!?! WHAT IS IT WITH INDIAN(AND GREEK I ASSURE YOU) PARENTS AND BEATING ?!?!?! DO YOU THINK BEATING YOUR CHILD WILL HELP THEM?!?!?!?!?MAKE THEM A BETTER PERSON OR SOMETHING?!?!??!?!DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY FEAR AND PHYSICAL ABUSE ARE NEVER HELPFUL?!?!
FUCK THIS FATHER
wtf there's a song now ?!?Okay I like the song! Oh this song rocks. THIS IS A BOP. Yup the song was a brilliant way to introduce all the characters.
OH MY GOD!!! Are Ishaan's teacher completely dumb ?? I dont know shit about psychology AND EVEN I KNOW what "The letters are dancing " probably means.
Ishaan wtf are you licking the painting ?
Oh another song. Nice song.
Okay the-maths-who-turned-into-solar-system animation scene was brilliant.
Oh no! No! No no no! They found the absent note. FUCK.
Oh my God STOP FUCKING BEATING THE KID.
Oh yes. Love the parents' reactions to Ishaan's grades. The father is afraid that his son is the r-word and the mother gives the "what have I done wrong" talk. Good job guys.👏 Totally never heard those before🤦🏻♀️🙄
Yes ofc the kid is having nightmares. YOU'RE ABANDONING HIM!!!!!!
Off to the boarding school I guess.
Oh they value discipline🤢 there. Great 😢🙃
Why the fuck we ,as a society , leave children to be looked after by people who clearly hate them ?!?!
Also why is that boy such a good actor.

Is that man supposed to be a teacher ?!?
WDYM "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS POEM"?!?!??! THESE ARE 3RD GRADERS?!?!??!
Wait. He actually gave a pretty good interpretation of the poem. Good job Ishaan.
OFC THE DAMN TEACHER DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT ISHAAN SAID. I mean you need a brain to understand such things and he clearly lacks that part of human anatomy.
The top student boy is really nice. I like him.
Wtf?!?!?! Is that an art teacher?!?!?! What a disgrace to the art teacher profession in general. Who's gonna tell him that beating children is ABUSE.
Why do all the teachers look like they're the same person but with a slightly different wig and accent?!
YES!!FUCKING YES!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳THAT IS AN ART TEACHER. OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA SING NOW ?!?! JJAHWJHWJWH MY FACE HURTS FROM ALL THAT SMILING.
Awwwwwwww🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 He said " there's no hurry" to Ishaan. Awwwwwwww🥰🥰
F U C K T H E O T H E R T E A C H E R S. Nice motto guys. Order🤢Discipline🤢Labour🤢. That def doesn't sound like it's about the fuckin military.
That "h*il h*tler" was a pretty good point.
THANK GOD SOMEONE NOTICED THAT ISHAAN WAS NOT OKAY.
Omg the Tulip school theatre performance. GUESS WHO'S CRYING AGAIN?!
Wait- Did the older son just apologised TO HIS FATHER for losing a stupid tennis match ?!?!?!
Ishaan's paintings>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT THE FLIP BOOK AGAIN😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh the father again. SIR WITH ALL DUE RESPECT (which is none. No respect is due there) FUCK YOU. GO JOIN EWTHER'S CLUB FOR INCOMPETENT AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE FATHERS AND LEAVE YOUR SON ALONE.
Oh the awesome teacher is gonna tell a story. Jsjahshjshsh HE MENTIONED EINSTEIN AND DA VINCI. WAIT EDISON WAS DYSLEXIC TOO?!? AND AGATHA CHRISTIE?!?! AND PICASSO?!?!?I DIDN'T KNOW THIS.HSHSJSH
Wait- ISHAAN BUILT THAT BOAT ?!!?
Oh and when I thought I couldn't love the art teacher more he started quoting Oscar Wilde🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"So you dont take us for the kind of parents who do not care" UUUUUUGHHHH
OH MY FUCKING GOD ISHAAN'S PAINTING NSJSJJWJWKWJWHKWJWKWJSJKSJEJEJENKEKENEJDJHDJDJEHEJEJDUEJWHIENKLJ
He WON 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
The last shot of Ishaan rising to the sky with the help of his teacher= poetic cinema.
Okay and after that incoherent mess I have to say. Amazing film. I was hooked form start to finish (and it was a 2h42min film) . Loved the subject matter. The boy was an amazing actor. And Aamir Khan was great as always.
Bottom line is your movie recs are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Fun fact : The word "dyslexia" basically comes form dys / δυσ (which means bad) and lexis / λέξη (which means word ) so it can basically be translated as "bad with words"
(this come from my pretty basic knowledge of ancient greek so it might not be 10000% accurate)
Finally to answer you question. Idk about elsewhere but I haven't heard of greek boarding schools. I dont think we have that here. And def not as a punishment.
