sometimes you'll meet a person you've loved for so long, and then they will tell you they haven't felt the same about you. And you'll question them and gain so much clarity, that the love flies straight out of the window.

some people are meant to be lovers. some best friends. some good friends. some...just friends.

you think you were meant to be something more, but then you realise that you are only compatible in one way. there's nothing beyond that. and that's also not bad. it's not a downgrade, it's what's meant to be.

#i took someone seriously and i ended up falling for them badly lmao #turns out they like me and admire me but don't feel anything more.#i thought they'd confessed to me before but they'd meant things CASUALLY #the moment i heard that i was enlightened #now i'm pretty sure there is no universe that we are meant to be and i'm happy about that #nahi chahiye aise lovers bc #'casual' small talk friends ab naya label hai humara. it's not bad #it's just very gen z #but i'm at peace and so are they - win/win?#i'm not going to be someone on the backburner anymore so i'm happy #play hard feelings by lorde #i will enjoy life knowing there are so many different dynamics i am yet to experience w people #desiblr #being desi

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that

#joking but like. am I wrong though #yeah no one is able to overcome the inherent human flaw of emotion and anyone who thinks they can is in fact mentally unwell #except for me I'm built different I have actually managed to transcend emotion. this is a good thing and not a problem #I saw my father's anger and my mother's discontent and my brother's self loathing and my friend's yearning.#and I saw how it only made everyone more unhappy. and I decided I would be above them all and never let my emotions rule me.#I was scared of the dark until I realized that fear wasn't useful to feel. so I stopped feeling it #this is a good thing and I am a paragon of mental health I think #mmm alternatively I was made to play mediator in a family of traumatized ppl and learned to repress my emotions to the point of dysfunction #but I prefer to think I'm enlightened and have no problems. this is fine and will not blow up in my face #anyways. just now realizing that this might stem from my childhood. oops #also realizing that I'm probably not aro and I just learned to turn off romantic attraction bc I saw how miserable it made my friend??#well. I still don't experience romantic attraction. but probably I should and I will if I ever sort out this repression thing. whoopsie #really she was ready to kill herself over some white guy and I looked at that and was like. nope. I'm never stooping to that level #mm might not help that my parents never loved each other and I never had a healthy romantic relationship modeled for me as a child #but still like really like what is the point. of having emotions. they're just not useful #oh hurr durr I'm angry at my friends for talking over a tv show. there is no way to act on this without damaging ppl and relationships #ohh I'm in love with this guy who will never love me back. THERE IS NO PRODUCTIVE WAY TO ACT ON THIS #literally emotions can only be destructive and I'm a better person for opting out of them #there are no downsides to being repressed! I can still feel positive emotions. I'm happy sometimes. sometimes I'm excited. it's fine #guy who is Unpacking Things live on ur dash. sorry #narcissus's echoes #vent

mha is like an estranged awkward father to me. i try not to make my connection to it obvious but i secretly care a lot about it (sometimes against what i desire) and when ppl talk serious shit about it i get defensive. like yea i understand that it's not the best series writing-wise, it's got a good amount of problems and that its mere connection to me makes me cringefail ... but i'll always find some sort of unexplainable comfort in its arms despite its flaws bc there's still a good amount of it to genuinely enjoy without a constantly ironic state of mind that all media must be critiqued with nowadays and i don't expect anyone to understand this odd relationship but myself

#every time i hear that mha fans are cringe and have bad taste i'm like well yeah. but also hey. watch it #like protecting my pathetic father who does not need protecting but i'll do it anyway bc it just feels like i should #it's not at all a horrible series the way everyone labels it and i think its popularity caused such a societal whiplash #like oh it's mainstream now! time to pick on every flaw it has and reduce it to typical shounen shit #without addressing its actually decent and sometimes stellar aspects #it is not as overwhelmingly enjoyed like certain anime i've gotten into lately but that's ok. i'm fine with that #it's a mid to mid-good series with good characters (with exceptions) and great artwork and ok storytelling #i remember when mha was super praised and considered incredible like 5 years ago .. lol how times change #anyway. just wanted to type this out bc i think mha fans get an unfairly bad rep sometimes for doing nothing all that out of the ordinary #just for having an interest in a not-very-enlightening piece of media #and that kinda sucks #also bc i started watching mob psycho and it's really fucking good LMFAOOOO #bnha #mha #becki rambles about stuff

Thinking "I really ought to come up with more details about this oc" and opening my computer and then doing the kubrick stare at a blank document for two straight hours before closing it without writing anything

#☝️ I wrote wilbur as an everyman and manifestation of the hope of progress brought abt by the enlightenment and later guilt after he dies #which is awesome for the themes and motifs but now I don't feel like I can come up w lore on him cos metaphors don't have families. 😑#ocs #jory.txt

Thinking thinking 🤔🤔

What scar do you think each of the girls would have? I'm doing doodles and I was thinking about how they'd collect scars as they got older and such and I'm curious what attacks y'all think should of left a mark

#feel free to add specialist or Trix stuff not just the girls #icy making Bloom lose toes when she locked her in that ice at her house in s1 #ouchy but also would be a good physical representation of the trama she endured #but im not knowledgeable enough about cold injurs to make any decisions #i also sometimes think about Darcy needing hearing aids later into the seasons bc she likes to goad Musa about Riven #Musa does not fuck around about Riven. and the person who manipulated him for her own gains is at the top of her 'needs to find out' list #for Stormy....she fucked around with Flora too much and now she has palces in her body where plant acid ate though #ever since Jester enlighten me about Brandon apparently being held in Yoshinoia's prison at some point in his life #i literally cant stop thinking about it. ''Brandon what are you hiding'' but add a new dimension with scars he doges questions about #winx club #rus chatters

You know how I’ve posted before about how some people seem to have only gotten into social justice in order to just be more bigoted than ever but to make it seem progressive? Like wanting to get applauded for what’s just plain misogyny so they just put white/cis/straight/etc in front of their comments about women

Yeah that’s what’s happening right now with antisemitism. Like some people were clearly just WAITING EAGERLY for the FIRST CHANCE to be violently anti-Jewish monsters and feel like they’re the good guys.

#hadn’t posted about this til now because I have nothing of value to add #but yeah #a whole lot of people who claim to be oh so enlightened #just want to feel like they’re the heroes while actually being the aggressors against the oppressed #that they claim to so despise #it’s just so appallingly disgusting #and more blatant than ever #vent

oh my goodness lupita??!?!? D:

#whoever lied to her and hurt her is really lucky lupita keeps her private life sooooo private cause #that person otherwise would be in a world of hate >:(#her words are such a devestatingly enlightened way of looking at things though #lessons for life and storytelling #it reminds me of something i have held onto for over a decade now #not that i feel as worthy of love as someone as wonderful as lupita but #one time a friend looked at me and said to me: you have a lot of love to give dont you #and the comment confused me bc at the time i had just gotten out of a very bad relationship and was very painfully single #but since then whenever it feels like im the only person i know without a partner in life and everyone else looks happy #i remember that large measure of my capacity to love and remind myself that this doesn't change #its just without one single person to give it to #you can instead spread it around as platonic love to your friends #and that can be just as significant as giving it all to one person #it makes me feel better about being a lonely old curmudgeon

I think there’s a point when watching Always Sunny for the first time where all of a sudden, what they’re doing with the show and trying to do with the show just clicks, you know, the satire becomes clear but so does the psychological complexity of the characters, and it’s like crossing this threshold in your brain after the first shock of it subsides because it very much is shocking, but it’s also like walking on a bed of hot coals and if you’re one of the ones who doesn’t immediately run away at the first bite of the flame and you choose to endure/survive the shock of those metaphorical hot coals and think about everything just a minute or so longer, you get to experience enlightenment.

#iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #You also get to experience the shock scrambling your neurons to think a little too much about Macdennis #and make you feel inexplicably glirsty #For some this happens in the first episode #for others it takes longer but if they choose to continue then they see #others are just standing next to the coals not willing to walk across it but complaining about the little steam #this metaphor analogy simile whatever is getting away from me #anmmbposts #always Sunny #this show makes me unwell #I remember the image of oh it’s a joke she says as she casually tossed aside a large rock vividly entering my mind at one point in s1 #and then my mind was freed #to think of all the rest of the depth they layered in there #it’s such a psychologically fascinating show I’m out of my mind with thoughts #watching iasip like frank in mfhp in just an I get it now moment of profound clarity #it did happen in s1 for me but I have no idea how to convey this 3rd layer of enlightened reality to others who look at me funny #when I talk of the depth #and the level of satire that’s so sharp that half the people don’t even understand it’s satire #it’s unlike anything I usually watch at all

i think this is because i just looked at s2 of vinland saga again, where they really improved how much einar mentioned his mother and sister, but einar here feels weird. maybe the manga's not as mindful of women before this arc where it feels like the author suddenly remembered they existed beyond family, victims, or lost potential wives, but seeing einar say this here... i cant help but think... he wouldnt say that lol...

#personal #vinland saga lb #'wow im sorry for woman?? HUH!' sir u were nice and friendly w ur mom and sis. where did the 'a woman wants to join us 🤔🤨/?!!?'#thought come from #im assuming the next season will be made and i hope its a bit different too #smth abt this just feels weird... like yukimura is holding all his characters hands and saying 'lets not think low of women'#when i never even thought einar would speak/think like that in the first place. and thorfinn too is like overly enlightened but still cant #include women in his thoughts? like hes nice but in an ignoring way almost?#they were just best friends w arnheid. what happened between then and now to where they're weirder abt a free woman #they were all literally slaves and cant even compare the thought of 'wow it sounds like shes being made to not do what she wants to do...'

Magic Flute Thoughts

i liked nathalie stutzmann's conducting a lot more in this than i did for don giovanni. granted i am much less familiar with zauberflote than i am with don g so i'm not like hyper picky about tempi or whatever yet but anyway i liked her

flute soloist! glockenspiel soloist! FLUTE SOLOIST!!!

i just like lawrence brownlee man idk what to tell you. i think he's neat. i think he's singing something here in the winter and i'll definitely try to get tickets to that if so

i really liked erin morley as pamina! actually i thought all the main cast did a good job no one stuck out to me as being particularly Amazing or Bad. kathryn lewek got a HUGE applause (and standing o) tho and i mean kudos it was her fiftieth performance like damn.

interesting choice to play the queen as physically frail as she did; i think it works and the performance is very good, although the heavy age makeup sticks out a bit on hd cameras lol

the queen's three bitches. i'm free on friday (twirling hair)

also i hope those three kids who played the old men get to borrow their outfits again come october because they have the funniest possible halloween costume opportunity in the world now

VERY funny to me that papageno's costume makes him look like he's drenched in bird shit

okay speaking of costumes. do i 100% Get It with the like suits and colors and everything....not really but i don't think i can say that i Get a lot about this opera tbh. what i did get was the very obvious dark/light symbolism going on with pamina and tamino wearing white and the queen and her cronies wearing all black. and i think zauberflote does benefit from some heavy handed symbolism bc what else is this show about actually without that....then again the fact that sarastro and his priests or whatever are all in dark colors too kind of undermines that a little so 🤷‍♀️

same thing with the whole reason vs superstition thing too like...sure you can claim Truth And Reason as good all you want sarastro but the constant invocation of isis/osiris and Mysterious Rituals kind of undermine what you're going for there lol. i think my point is that i don't feel like i really Get what zauberflote is like...going for, thematically. i mean i get the Themes but not a clear Point. maybe if i was an enlightenment era freemason i'd get it lol but alas i am not

that said......i didn't go into this one expecting a rock solid plot and honestly who does....it's zauberflote....it is very obviously not designed to work or be interpreted on a literal level and i appreciate that it never tries to ground itself in reality. that its plot and characters exist in a completely fantastic realm works and it works with the weird plot and its vague theming.

which itself is of course accomplished through good design and holy SHIT. this is truly the shining strength of this production. the design is INCREDIBLE.

the orchestra isn't totally onstage but they are raised up in the pit to the point where they are fully visible the whole show. i love an onstage orchestra so this made me very happy. and it allowed for actor/orchestra interaction which i also love!! like tamino coming down into the pit to hand the eponymous magic flute to the flute soloist and bring him onstage with him (i was wondering during the overture why the flutes and oboes were swapped places seating wise -- it's so the flutist can easily get onstage! delight!!), or when papageno brings his glockenspiel to the percussion soloist to play (the player being 'missing' at his last solo, making papageno play by himself, and he enters late with a cup of coffee...lmaoo). also stutzmann giving a big ol grin and thumbs up to papageno during his duet with papagena at the end. so sweet

also blocking around the orchestra seating of the audience and up the aisles! so much fun we love immersive theater

the set itself had this big flat platform in the center hoisted at each corner by a cord so it could raise/lower/tilt in any direction. made for some very neat staging with levels and slants and i enjoyed that, especially since the production forgoes any kind of traditional set pieces

papageno's birds were done in such a beautiful way omg...they have an ensemble in black wandering around stage and following him about when he's doing stuff and they each have a 'bird' made of a folded in half piece of paper that they flutter about stylistically (some of the orchestra members have some too that they flutter during his entrance aria). description does not do it justice, this was a beautiful way to stage it...so simple and evocative.

the designer was saying in the interview between acts that this production was meant to combine the high and low tech aspects of theater to connect present performance practice with the opera as it was originally done (hence the visible orchestra) and i looove that philosophy. and it worked here really well i think

THE FOLEY AND PROJECTION ARTISTS. STARS OF THE SHOW. i am not joking

they get to be onstage (albeit off to the sides) the whole show too and i love it. i love that the cameras on the broadcast kept cutting to them periodically to show off their work.

the use of live projection art was really well done -- he managed to make Writing On A Chalkboard captivating!!

and the foley. the FOLEY!!! i've done sound design and a bit of live foley before so i have a soft spot but wooow she did an amazing job and it was SO much fun to see all the props she played with to make the scenes come alive sonically. plus her little interactions with papageno were very funny. give her a tony award

i do think there were a couple of small moments here and there that didn't entirely work for me or a scene or two that dragged out longer than necessary but overall it was a joy to watch. the beautiful and whimsical design of the whole thing totally makes it worthwhile even if the plot itself is a bit lacking.

easily THE coolest production design i've seen the met do yet, and the best lighting and projections from them for sure. when it comes on demand i am forcing anyone i can to watch it with me bc that SET! the LIGHTING! the SOUND! the STAGING! it ticks all my boxes it hits all my buttons it was MADE for ME SPECIFICALLY

#sasha speaks #sasha reviews #the magic flute #die zauberflöte #die zauberflote #if someone actually understands what the magic flute is supposed to be about feel free to enlighten me lol #i don't know exactly what i was SUPPOSED to get from that but the production was so fucking good i don't even care tbh #tldr: watch this if you're interested in theatrical design. go go do it now do it

have you ever wanted warmest shade of orange hearts on a brain emoji

#learning literally so much #saying i love you to people and feeling the love burn in my chest wanting to take over me is piece of media its a song #and displaying in actions was far far away for me #to understand someone not theoretically but practically #i can't stress it to myself enough its so new and im glad he opened my eyes #what my parents my friends my brother have been doing along for me #and not all the time youre around people who can love you in the way you understand #and i didn't #know their language #its now like i can read it #i can see the efforts the actions put upon by them against people who just have screamed at me about loving me but didn't #show #the thought of love and actually loving is so different its like an enlightenment that i could see so vividly #that also meant ive gotten less vocal about it and more of a do-er #this friend of mine we have such a great understanding but never even said about being great friends #mostly about great companionship #discussing understanding applying #i get the old saying yk jo nibha sake #because everyone loves idea of friendships and relationships
