Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.

ONLY $5,000 USD UNTIL ESCAPE
This family's fund only requires $5,000 USD to get them to $20,000 which is what they'll need to evacuate Gaza. $5,000 is definitely an achieve-able amount. Please donate if you can, and if you can't, share!

it's friday, i'm in love
(Fabian & Riz, Fabian/Gorgug)
aka. three times fabian has a breakdown about getting his kisses in (or not)
This sucks. All the teen rom coms Fig watches lied, there isn鈥檛 anything fun or cool about being in love- not in love- with your best friend. It鈥檚 just uncomfortable and weird and has the potential to ruin everything.
The worry crawls under his skin and sits there like static, buzzing to life any time Riz smiles at him or pokes him in the ribs or frowns in Fabian鈥檚 direction like he鈥檚 thinking too hard. Things that used to happen without a second thought every day, and now Fabian can鈥檛 help but do a double take, or jump a little when they happen. Which then makes Riz do his little there鈥檚-a-puzzle-to-solve-here frown at Fabian; and what if he thinks Fabian鈥檚 acting weird because he likes the Ball? So then Fabian acts more freaked out and Riz pays more attention and- it鈥檚 all just some horrifying positive feedback loop of weird unspoken feelings that makes Fabian feel like he鈥檚 perpetually falling down a set of stairs.
