watched The Substance and I cannot lie I LOVE the part where she goes goblin mode

#running around with her little coat and her hunchback. wait babe stop right there you're finally free!#the movie is really effective in the same way a good fairy tale is effective #you know exactly what's going to happen from the second you start it. you want to beg her not to #but if she was capable of doing that there wouldn't be a story. 2.4 hours of watching the inevitable unfold and you can't do shit about it #the substance #the substance spoilers #I was unsure if the third act would be able to tie the first two together and the make the movie work as a whole but. boy. it sure did #I LOVE a batshit third act in horror it must be said

If my future, magical boyfriend won’t make up an important and unforgettable piece of legend that will live long in the minds of men, just because I’m having a bad day and low self esteem over whatever I’m fit to be the Once and Future King and rule over my own kingdom, then I don’t want him.

Right before the Trousers’ big fall play, Ichabod and Matilda turn the Horseman into a Revolutionary War soldier, but he’s not exactly what they expected.

Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "

#arya stark #one of those /wtf Ned/ moments #then people act like she invented misogyny cause she was like /uuuhhhhh no thanks that's not me/#/Arya is masculine/ and she's literally just a child who has interests outside of her patriarchy-assigned role #the way people read this and then demonize Arya for not silently conforming like people expect her to...#that's the ingrained misogyny from being socialized in a patriarchal society speaking babes 😭#cannot stress enough how Arya is just an average little girl and what makes her behavior stand out is their society's strict gender norms #her life + learning almost entirely revolves around the fact that she is being raised to be a wife and people resent her for wanting more :#she is NINE in AGoT and her parents are discussing her refinement because /In a few years she will be of an age to marry/#the way misogyny is explored in Arya's story is actually so brilliant and well-written (+ underappreciated) though #we feel the full weight of how restrictive their society is through her POV and get the experiences of lower-class women too #which is why it's so significant that George wrote her based on feminists who realized they wanted more than becoming wives/housewives #she's one of his key characters who will /change the world/ but people think he's sticking her on a boat bc she isn't feminine enough 😭#thank god he's writing the books and not any of these reductive hacks who thinks misogyny is subversive 🙏🏾#sidenote: would've loved to see this from her POV to get her feelings when he said this cause I'm sure it doesn't match Ned's perception #considering he views her main issues as being stubborn/difficult while we know about the self-esteem issues she has

there is something about how when anime official art gets yoichi right fashion wise it's always a comfy bf look like look at him

very fluffy. very huggable. i want to poke and pinch his cheeks. also he often has those lil blushies when he eats and for some reason it's cute. the gap moe between on field and off field is still something else to see each time i remember it. i love it ofc 💚 but it's still something else

#his nickname is egoist. he gets heated and shittalks regularly #deadass say 100% k word kaiser in a panel that is pretty wild. also get d threats regularly (rin barou im not even gonna try to list em)#friendly reminder that i love him even when i do not post about him #comfort character that literally make me look at him when im stressed and just sigh come on lets go #kind of like a bit pavlovian if i wanna bully myself about it. but honestly he is just #but honestly seeing him work hard and being passionate makes me admire him in the “i wish i am like you” all while going #“uwah” in the way that i very much realize i can't never be him and that very fact make him even more admireable to me #everyone has their own pathway and process. and his story is honestly something that makes me soft #hardworking people are something else. always a sight to watch and it's beautiful #okay wow im yapping but it's yoichi what's new. hopefully i can write something for u this valentine babe #babblings

I am obsessed with how narratively convenient Lark's divinatory abilities are. She's the only one of the protagonists who is both pragmatic and has a working sense of self-preservation, so having some internal impulse that is actually the guiding hand of the cosmos pushing her into doing the REALLY stupid shit is both necessary and really useful.

Like, I am the type of writer who kind of scoffs at the idea that characters are beyond the writer's control and will completely screw over your outline, because on one hand, a sensible outline will follow the characters' personalities and tendencies anyway. Obviously in an ensemble cast you will need to do some wrangling, but in theory your characters are responding to varying degrees of stimuli in order to maneuver them into the places you need them to be for things to all come together in the end.

But more importantly, "curse from god" is the funniest and easiest way to push any character to do things beyond the realm of reason when necessary, and frankly, what the fuck is the point of playing god if you don't embrace that?

#midst podcast #midst spoilers #cr meta #anyway at all times I am advocating for taking full responsibility for your characters and overall story #this is also why I laugh at those posts like 'um if you're not going to treat your characters right then you shouldn't get custody of them'#sorry babe there is no CPS in my head. I am the cruel custodian and these are my poor darwinian orphans.#that's a joke but really like. look. yeah sometimes you gotta fabricate scenarios to make characters do what you want #but like... you do that by going 'who is this character and what would it take to push them to x'???#and especially in an ensemble cast sometimes that thing is 'curse from god' or 'divine insight'#fun fact: I LOATHE that post about 'my writing teacher made a joke that the characters are driving and the writer is locked in the trunk'#absolutely fucking hate it.#because THE WHOLE POINT OF FORMALLY LEARNING WRITING IS LEARNING HOW TO BE INTENTIONAL.#it is perfectly possible to write successfully without ever having a formal teacher but IF YOU HAVE A FORMAL TEACHER. UH.#like yeah yeah 'workshopping' but like. okay go build your own workshop group don't pay somebody jfc #(cuz it's not like most creative writing teachers know how to teach you to workshop. let's be fucking real.)#if you wanna learn how to workshop take a script class for the love of god.#ANYWAY rant over but I'm correct. the highest purpose of a writer is to be a control freak and to play god.

Seriously, what's up with that golden light that's protecting Phaya and Tharn? Is it Phaya's powers? Someone in his family tree? I feel like this episode needed to be longer. I usually get tired of shows explaining every little thing. This time I wish this show actually gave me more. It's ending next week! Why are we still having questions about the mythological/supernatural aspect?

That Tharn and Chalothon scene will be stuck in my head all week. Babe kills it in these emotional scenes, this one and the one with Phaya in the cave. Pain. Tharn sounded so broken and hurt.

Honestly I don't blame Tharn. I get why some people do. It was definitely frustrating to watch him constantly defend Chalothon. But Babe honestly saved that part for me with his acting. When Phaya talked about Chalothon being the naga, it was kinda obvious that Tharn really didn't want to believe it. I mean who would? It's crazy to think about. You put all your faith in someone, go to them for advice and support, even your mental health troubles, and then you find out they were the one hurting the people you love. Abusive relationship 101 by Psychiatrist Chalothon. Moments like that make it clear that Tharn is a victim of emotional abuse. Chalothon has his fangs deep in my boy.

Once Chalothon actually showed up, it completely broke him. Babe conveyed that confusion and pain so well. Big shout out to Heng and Babe for nailing that scene, Chalathon's desperation and Tharn's hurt were so real.

Then the doctor had the guts to be like "I'll never hurt you". Mate what do you think you are doing? Making him all giddy while you keep trying to kill the person he's in love with? Threatening to kill everyone he loves? How to keep your man happy - a masterclass by Mr Naga himself. There's crazy, and then there's Chalothon.

#the sign the series #listen i adore babe #for a first time actor he's doing a great job #it's not easy portraying Tharn he has so much nuances as a character but Babe's holding on pretty well #i just wish they made it a bit more clear this episode rather than waiting till the last #if they info dump on me next ep i'll be so mad #i hate when shows do that #but my fav part of the show still shines #the love and care between the characters #so good #and none of the characters are acting out of character #most shows usually forget about the characters in the last few eps and just rush through the story #the show hasn't fumbled with the characters or their motivations and that's still what's at the heart of the story #the sign

Did you ever self-insert into SnK? If yes, what was your backstory? What was your rank? What was your casual outfit like? And who was your bae? 👀

#asks #lovers ₊˚ᰔ #i read snk and i get violent memories of the war babe #i honestly don't know if i'm mentally prepared to answer that question now lskdkd #i love you and appreciate so much that you want to know about it but 1) yall know i have no history (?) 😭 in just there #my fav loves me but i don't have so many details to fill in how we met and stuff. about lore... i have practically nothing but eren. gulps.#eren really was a dangerous stage of my life #he's that ex i don't want to talk about. because i wasn't me when i liked and thought about eren #i love him so much and he goes hand in hand along with levi; my husband; i love levi so much from the bottom of my soul #armin is my legitimate son <3 i gave birth to him! and honorable mentions: erwin my beloved #our story is that one day i fucked him in his office. that man makes me shiver. what a man #i want to know everything about you! 🎤#my guess for you is that your favorite may be erwin but i want to hear all about it please #i'm still hurting from the manga ending but. i'm still grieving and processing it #maybe that's why i still can't talk about it. sobs

Important question, do more of the RE8 villagers survive in this version?

Yes, very much yes. I can't, at this time, guarantee any specific characters other than Elena (definitely) and Luiza (probably), and an undetermined number of unnamed villagers, but I definitely plan for some of the villagers to survive.

While the total wipe-out of the Village in RE8 is a lot more believable than other "total wipes" like Raccoon City or the Pueblo in RE4, as it seems significantly smaller than both RC or the Pueblo, and has a more intelligent breed of bioweapon under specific instruction to exterminate the Village, Resident Evil has a weird and kind of uncomfortable history with complete massacres over its long history that I'm always inclined to push against. It's lazy, uninteresting writing to me when it's a trope recycled so frequently... especially given it's very clearly mostly used to provide clean narrative "closure" between each game by eliminating any other survivors other than the main protagonists (and Wesker lol). Like... RE4, for example, functions as a contained narrative because the Pueblo dies at its end. Its function is over in the continued story of "Resident Evil"... it only matters going forth in the context of Leon, Ashley, and Ada as characters. But as a writer, I'm much more intrigued by a version of that story that involves other survivors. What would it mean to live through something like that, not as the hero outsider protagonist, but as a civilian? How do you even recover? Who would you be after?

The weight of the horror of the complete destruction of a place that's isolated to a single game becomes faded when it's the same shit in every game. I'm sick of it, and bored of it. It would hit harder if it wasn't every damn game... better to take it apart and try something new with its empty box.

#Idk maybe it's because I'm Jewish but I am always expressly interested in the narratives of survivors of massacres & genocides #even over the stories of the “heroes”#and I understand! Functionally! This is not the point of Resident Evil. But I still believe there's missed opportunities in the series #in terms of not calling back to existing set pieces through the eyes of new characters #sorry i'd play the fuck out of a game set in Raccoon City or the Pueblo through the eyes of a civilian survivor. Same for RE8 #RE8 as an entity works better with its total annihilation thematically because it IS treated as a part of it's tragedy...#but it still gets lost beneath the greater narrative importance given to Saving Rose #and I'm out here like. babes what Miranda did to Rose was fucked up and I get why it's Ethan's primary concern but also #THIS WOMAN BROUGHT THAT VILLAGE TO ITS KNEES AND BURNED IT TO THE GROUND BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER TO HER #SHE DIDN'T HATE IT SHE DIDN'T LOVE IT SHE JUST DIDN'T NEED IT #AND THAT IS SO FUCKED UP AND SO INTERESTING AND BY GOD I WILL HAVE SURVIVORS WHO CAN CONFRONT THAT WITH HER #“YOU WERE OUR GOD AND YOU WERE OUR MONSTER AND IF WE WILL DIE IT WILL NOT BE QUIETLY AND CONVENIENTLY”#....I Have feelings is that obvious yet lol #asks #anonymous #Through the Valley to Life

sex and the city is kind of a horror story/cautionary tale of what happens when you can't let go of a guy that sucks

#text #sex and the city #mr big has no redeeming qualities and has never said a nice/good thing to carrie ever. not even once #it's almost like a fantasy story of like 'what if a guy that never changes FINALLY changed for ME because it's True Love' noooooo.#he never will babe and it's not you it's him.

i was so set on replaying veilguard for the davrinmance but oh my god im SO attached to my agent-of-fenharel hardingmancer rn i actually think the choice is out of my hands lol

#oc: evander #datv #tay plays datv #datv spoilers #deia's brother btw !!!! very much giving anders vibes if anders was kind of deadbeat oldest son who frequents the club #him having sold out the inquisition on solas's instruction and then falling for one of the scouts who was hurt the most by it #very much a mirror to solavellan except theyre literally just people and ultimately victims of their leader's organizations overarching war #and harding being sympathetic to solas enough to reach evanders conscience even during Peak radicalization #but holding solas accountable enough to potentially sway evanders mind #and then evander learning the truth about solas but also specifically what that means for harding the person hes grown to love #having to reconcile that his own rebel-fantasy is not more important than the very real pain his loved ones have gone thru as a result #and like figuring out what going forward looks like. is he STILL sympathetic but its tempered? or does he go full anti-solas in an act of #redemption which would also probably involve him telling harding to embrace her anger and not her loving side?? which is kind of the invers #of his own arc.#GOD.#AND THEN ITS LIKE. DO I KILL OFF HARDING AT THE END???? THAT WOULD BE SOOOOO CRAZY FOR THE *STORY*#i think she has to live actually bc i hate the fridged wife trope and solas Is ultimately redeemed in this worldstate #and if harding died bc of solas (and evanders varricmancer sister also lost varric) evander WOULD be team kill immediately no exceptions #but still food for thought #god. chat i am fucking COOKING today this is crazy #hes not technically my rook bc he works way better in the story as a ~companion~ to deia (his sister) the actual protag #but both he and matthas (the other pro-inquisition brother) could arguably have been the Rook as well.#all 3 of the mercar siblings were AT the ritual but for different reasons (evander to aid solas. matthas to kill solas. deia to stop him)#so MAYBE I WILL romance harding instead this time...... how are we feeling abt hardings romance babes is it good. do we recommend

watched the substance last night and. hoo boy. that was a TRIP (spoilers in tags)

#first of all. demi moore and margaret qualley ate their roles harder than dennis quaid ate those shrimp #my mouth was just hanging open for the last 30 minutes like. holy fuck #i watched it with my friend who also love gross body horror and we were both completely silent during that time #i don't think either of us even moved once monstro elisasue came out #5/5 would absolutely recommend #i really love how it doesn't try to be subtle at all too #like. it beats its message into you with a hammer the whole time and it WORKS #i appreciate a story that doesn't try to be subversive or subtle. like those are great things to do!#but there's something so chef kiss about a piece of media that just. hits you over the head with itself #i think it worked really well with the substance too bc like. its ideas are not new #everyone knows hollywood chews women up and spits them out full of self-loathing and insecurity #but man. they really dialed it up to 11. and seeing that kind of story told in such a disgusting manner did exactly what it was supposed to #god. and the gasp i guspt when i realized it was ONLY the women standing up and screaming at elisasue in the theater??#You Are Not Immune To Propaganda babes!!!!#god. what a film #anyway go watch the substance it's on mubi whatever the fuck that is
