Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #art donaldson #unfortunately i have once again zeroed in on the most repressed character and made them my favorite #lol @ all the people saying he’s a manipulative snake: that’s part of what makes him great!#i think a fair amount of that manipulation or attempts at it come from a fear of loss and being alone #if he has to lose one to keep the other he’ll do it because it’s better than being left behind #hoo boy yet another character trait my fucked up faves have in common 😬#let’s not even get into how tashi AND patrick are trying to do right by him #tashi by making it so he can retire with a career to be proud of #patrick (who was pissed on art’s behalf wrt throwing the match) by laying all his cards on the table (court)#and giving art what he needed to play a great fucking game #there’s a whole other post to be written about how tashi and patrick handle art in similar ways #specifically that he submits to them so easily they take charge of him manipulate him the ways they want #good lord i need to see this movie again #or not might not be conducive to keeping my brain from melting out my ears lol

One of the things I love about Glass Onion is the way that the camera and music work together to tell nonverbal jokes.

Like when Benoit basically has to hold Miles' hand to get him to the conclusion that someone reset the puzzle box Benoit lies about receiving:

Benoit asks if it's possible that someone reset the box, and Miles then declares that someone must have reset the box like it is this huge reveal - and the camera zooms out while the music subtly swells as though he really has figured out something smart, when actually he literally restated what Benoit just said.

#original #I love the reveal that he's not even a smart con artist he's just a piece of shit #he's just a shameless copycat that people keep enabling to do bad things bc they assume he knows what he's talking about bc he's rich #like that line in Fiddler on the Roof - 'it won't matter if I'm wrong or if I'm right cuz you're rich they think you really know!'#glass onion #knives out glass onion #benoit blanc #Daniel Craig #ed norton #I hope the YouTuber sideways does a video about this because he does incredible music theory videos about movie scores #and I bet there are a bunch of hidden meanings within the music that I have no idea how to pick out #that man is like a wizard to me I don't understand how someone can understand music that much!#So cool!#I started this movie like 2 hours ago and I'm barely half an hour in cuz I keep stopping to write film theory essays on Tumblr #oh Adderall you cad!#I have no regrets I feel like this is helping me understand film better. i care a lot about the language of Storytelling #and I must say my favorite medium is film. I am writing a graphic novel right now but if I knew I could just skip that part and make it #into a show. I would do that. I don't wanna draw that much! I like drawing! but I want to see it as a show!!#this is too many drawings!!!!!#but for various reasons the film industry is not really a great place for me - or even possible as a physically disabled person #hard to work yourself up to the director's chair when all the entry positions involve standing for 14 hours at a time #I hope that if I ever do manage to make my graphic novel into a TV show that I will maintain enough control over the project to ensure #accessible hiring practices and workplaces #but in the meantime I guess I have to make waaaay too many drawings #no I can't shorten the story I don't have that kind of control it is an epic saga and the world's longest Slow Burn and that is that

Finally watching The Suicide Squad. Wish me luck

#why am I watching it?#it’s late but I don’t want to sleep #and I still haven’t seen it #right now all I want this movie to be is anything except boring #I will love it if it’s bad #(also Margot Robbie is an amazing Harley Quinn #she and Will Smith were my favorite parts of the original suicide squad movie)#but if it’s boring I don’t know what I’d do

cursed situation where I'm enjoying reading fic for a pairing I like from a book I LOVE but the movies of which I actively despise so much I cannot watch them

#the movies are what made the whole thing homoerotic enough for people to write about it #but I cannot stand them. probably because the book is one of my all-time faves #and the movies do NOT hit the right tone. they're trying for the tone of a related franchise and it does not work for me #also the inaccuracies. and that they fucked over my absolute favorite part of the book. but I digress

Just saw the fnaf movie and I am literally so glad that my favorite stupid fucking bastard was in the movie and we got a springlock failure scene like was the movie the greatest no but I got exactly what I wanted so goddamn it I'm gonna be happy about it

#genuinely that portion w/William at the end was the best part of the movie hands down #like there were some things that I wish could be different and Vanessa being all cryptic to Mike was kinda frustrating #but honestly its about what I expect out of scott bc to be honest he is not a good writer #i very desperately need the next two movies like I need air #they better do mangle right in the second one and if I hear even one gender joke I'm burning the entire theater down #bc unless its a trans person making a gender joke they are not funny #and I just know it isn't going to be a queer person writing that line so it will not be funny #I do hope we get to see mark in the second one and I mean it fits since out of the first three games the second is his favorite #also the matpat scene was literally so fucking funny #also I dont watch Cory x Kenshin but he was good for his cameo in the movie #I do also wish that there was a portion that was a bit more like the traditional game #I was a little disappointed at how little we actually saw the animatronics much less them being an actual threat #like mike was able to take them down with the tazer pretty easily #which like yeah they weren't The Big Bad but like y'know #also somebody LIED bc someone said that there was a character that hadn't been revealed yet in the movie #and like everyone we saw was accounted for #so a lot of people (myself included)#thought it was going to be the marionette #SAD!#not the end of the world though #someone else also said the characters were going to talk which they also lied about but im actually glad they didn't talk #I do like how mike and abby seemed like actual siblings though with their dialogue #overall id give the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars #about what I expected #some things could have been better but I got the main thing I wanted #I mean the springlock scene I wish was a little more dramatic but I mean there's only so much you can do in a pg 13 movie #so I'm not too disappointed #overall pretty satisfied and awaiting the second one #wonder when it'll come out since like I don't think it'll be as fast as the time between like scream 5 and 6 #cuz 6 came out really quickly after 5 I feel

Covers my face I dreamt of Charlie all night last night, oh my Godddddd ❤️

#ren speaks #ren’s dream journal #renlie #he was in every single one of the dreams I had 🙈❤️#it started out as a dream that I was hanging with my family and I started talking about him to them #like explaining who he was and that he’s my favorite #and my parents kinda teased me about it but then I was like ‘well Charlie is in a marvel movie’ which he’s not ahfkfl #but then they were like ‘OH let’s watch it then’ bc those are their favorites #so we put one on and Charlie was in it shfkfl not his actor; literally Charlie #and I was like ‘he’s the only reason I watch these movies’ which is SO funny bc I don’t watch them and he’s not in them 😂#and then the dream morphed into me being in the movie with him #and we didn’t have any specific romantic moments but we kept looking at each other and smiling 🥺#and it was nice to just know he was there like!!! I felt his presence and it was nice!#and then it turned into another dream that’s hard to explain but he was also there #and then I had ANOTHER dream where I was a spy part of like an ocea.n’s eleven heist #and he was there too!!#and this time we were friends who both liked each other but we’re too scared to say 👀#but I was very in character and the way I was trying to show him I liked him was by following him around everywhere shfkfl #like I finished the first part of the plan and came to our hideout spot with our whole group #and the first thing I did was find Charlie and I took his hands and I was like ‘you’re ok right?’#and he just laughed and was like ‘yeah I’m fine. I was more worried about you.’ but we both got shy and went to do our own thing ahfjfl #and then I found him a little bit later and started to just kinda follow him around #and he was like ‘whatcha doing?’ and I was like ‘idk I’m just glad you’re safe so I wanna be around you’#and he gave me like a crooked smile and he was like ‘ok that’s fine by me’#so I was literally just following him around like a puppy shfkfl #and then I woke up #so yeah I was just thinking about him so much last night that my brain just plopped him into every dream ahdjfl #I am not surprised bc I feel so in love with him this morning #of course I dreamt about him; he owns my entire brain today ahdkffl

#i need to rewatch interstella 5555 the most movie of all times .#itis very nostalgic for me bc when i was a baby it was one of the things my dad had downloaded #not the avtual movie just the individual music videos for each song #and iiii would constantly go Mommy can i watch blue aliens . mommy i wanna watch blue aliens right now please . mommy can you put on the #blue aliens for me i want to watch blue aliens one more time .#<- one more time was my fav when i was little i was also partial to digital love.. i love all of them noe but digital love and someting abt #us r my favs bc they make ne crazy in my head . and also bc i did an 8bit version of something abt us so i can hear every part of it which #is awesome... yay :]#my favorite non-vocal song hrmmm probably veridis quo... like the little dadoodadoo dadoodadoo... dadadadoodadadadoo. ykwim...#its quite fire. guys stream daft punk discovery or wafch interstella four five 👍👍#i love claling it interstella four five i think its cute the title is 5555. but do u know how awkward it is to say 5555. like 555 and 55555 #r normal amts of 5s to say 5555 is clunky... so fourfive is cutesie.

Hiya honey girl!

How are you doing? ♥️

I feel gay today, and I don’t have anyone to vent to, so it’s gonna be you I’m afraid

I feel so gay, I spent half the day looking longingly in the distance, and *sighing* wishfully

Do you ever feel like that?

Last week I bought a red rose from a dude in the street and offered it to a beautiful lady singer in a bar, and even if I don’t particularly want to see her again, it still felt good to do something chivalrous and lesbiany you know?

I like living my life on my own, but some days I wish I could do those romantic things with somebody, like holding hands and cuddling, and walking along the river, and maybe kissing a little.

Even if I’m happy by myself, sometimes I still yearn for the day I’ll have my own lady to offer my roses to 🥺

inkaaaa hi hi <3

I'm doing pretty good, in drastic need of a weekend. almost there!

!!! gay vents are always welcome here! oh to look longingly into the distance whilst sighing wishfully...

do I ever feel like that YES absolutely in fact while pondering my response I did just that asjdfkl okay I might ramble in the tags but yeah completely relate to be happy with life on my own but sometimes wishing it wasn't just me yeah I'm definitely going to ramble in the tags

offering a beautiful lady a rose I'm 🥺🥺 sometimes you just have to indulge in chivalrous lesbiany actions this is unavoidable. manifesting this for you, I hope all your rose offering yearnings come true!

#this is so sweet and very relatable alksdfjs #only opting to ramble in the tags instead of the response bc I feel like this is going to get long lol you've been warned #but yeah. definitely do feel the happy by myself but sometimes wish I could be sharing that time with others #sometimes if i'm watching tv I'll wonder what new shows or movies I'd be watching if someone else was here #instead of the same eight shows I just watch on rotation all year (this is bc I like them btw. it's just hard to watch new shows #without external motivation to do so)#or when I'm working on the blanket that's been in progress almost two years. I wonder if I'd be making it in someone else's favorite colors #lot of little thoughts like this. some are fleeting and others I tend to get stuck on a bit or overthink #like breakfast for example. would I eat breakfast more consistently if I was also making it for someone else? what if they prefer to eat #the same thing every day? i need variety but I could make sure we always have their favorite fruit or put their cereal box out to make it #easier. or if getting the cereal out is part of their routine i can make sure their favorite bowl is always clean #i find myself wondering which of my mugs would be their favorite? which of theirs would be my favorite?#yeah i'm an acts of service person can you tell. also quality time... can you imagine the shared floor time conversations #a lot of the time I picture myself doing the exact same thing like watching tv and playing switch or practicing music or even working #the biggest different is just that someone else would also be here doing their own thing #to scroll tumblr in silence from the same couch... sending each other posts even though we're both right there. I do miss that #even chores would be more fun and go quicker I think. racing to see if they can do the dishes faster than I can fold and hang laundry #tidying and putting our things together in shared spaces. seeing them side by side just like we are #making the bed together and putting each of our stuffed animals on our own side #or maybe I'd just make it so they have one less thing to worry about #I think i've exposed myself enough alskdfj but there are quite literally hundreds more where those came from #anyway who wants to admit they have a crush on me (kidding) (ish)#asks #oops after posting this is looks like way more tags than I thought it would sorry anyone who made it this far

LOL very very intense memory. as frustrated as she gets me, i do understand. she been through HELL!! & the way she describing the memories as pieces of a puzzle she can’t figure out is so crazy bc WE KNOW. it’s alllll leading to elvis undying love for her. if only he knew how bad she’s tearing herself apart. the way i just KNOW he not letting her on that plane!! my girl sandy better snitch, im not playing w her lmaooo & as for red? he barely did anything yet but i hate him already. now w that being said… i kinda wanna see the evil plan that ik brewing play out, idk i love some mess LOL as long as it’s hurting the relationship w jack i dont mind TOO much lmao

I LOVE ITTTTTT. thank you for carrying this fandom on your back, ik the aches be getting to you LOL as always, im already so excited for the next pt. i’ll be waiting patiently💕

Baby, I’m sorry this is SO FLIPPIN LATE but I love EVERYTHING about this reaction to 15!! Had me smiling and laughing! �� This kind of beautiful, emotional response is what I live forrrrr! I’m hoping 16 was up to your expectations (especially with Sandy LOL)! 😏

Always happy to add some deliciously angsty suffering to the pot and you are literally TOO SWEET TO ME!! So happy to be in a fandom with such lovely and talented peeps! Lovin’ ya!! 💕💕💕
