I finally managed to stop procrastinating and watched Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express a few days back. Now I'm sad because of the film's haunting portrayal of existential loneliness that makes people talk to their furniture and see their apartment as a physical embodiment of their heartbreak, and I'm positive there was some gaslighting involved, not to mention illegality in Faye breaking into 663's house and lowkey living there part time and the whole movie gives off a feeling of subdued stale chaos that had passed its expiry date, and oh god people don't look at people and they don't see, like SEE see stuff, and it's 3 in the morning and I am taking myself apart and examining the pieces likethey were lego and they're as abstract and meaningless by themselves as lego and it all only comes together because i stacked them together a certain way and i know even i put everything carelessly back together, i will have changed the order and something will permanently shift within me. That's what happens with every major life event, things that make us change as people. It's both awe-inspiring and terrifying and I am being consumed by the nostalgia of a time and place which I haven't even personally lived through but still miss as if it was something mine that has been taken away by time.

You wanna talk about some character growth and development. Let's talk about Minthara's Act 1 romance scene and her confession in Act 3.
In Act 1, she says that you are hers. In Act 3, she will say that she is yours.
In Act 1, she asks you to tell her what's in your heart and she demands you use your words and not use your mind as she wants to hear your thoughts in your voice. In Act 3, she demands you share your mind as words aren't enough to accurately convey what you truly feel and she wants your raw emotion as it is in your mind.
In Act 1, she wants to hear the voice of the Absolute, gives you an order, and then demands you go see her God as the world is much bigger than the rest of you and you two are merely players in it. In Act 3, she says there will be no voices, no orders, no gods as the only thing that matters in that moment is just the two of you.
If only she had an Act 3 romance scene. Cause in Act 1, she is very much in control and dictates everything that is happening, in very typical matriarchal drow fashion. But I just know that in Act 3, she would be very soft and tender and might actually relinquish just a little (and I mean, very little) bit of control to you because she trusts you and sees you as her equal.

POV: You’re very gay and problematic older men (affectionate) keep distracting you from the very pressing issue of figuring out how not to die from the problematic older man (derogatory) living on the experimental biochip in your head.
(I know River is not that much older than V probably but ssshhh, it counts)

comedy peaked with that scene in pushing daisies where that clown car crashes and it shows an endless procession of dead clowns being carried away on stretchers
