HAROLD PERRINEAU as Mercutio | ROMEO + JULIET (1996)

leitmotifs never get old to me like holy shit dude there’s this melody that corresponds to this one guy and if you hear the melody it means the guy is there. holy shit. and sometimes it refers to ideas too not just guys. has anyone heard about this

"ruthlessness" is a devastating song, no argument, but just how devastating it is always gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. i love that jay understands that silence can be as powerful as sound, and that's what really drives the loss of his men home, for me.

think about it; 600 men on a dozen ships initially, so that's about 50 people per ship. the 43 men left are solely on odysseus's vessel.

the men screaming his name, the wind roaring, and suddenly, everyone is gone. the silence is so loud. so final.

it's not like they fell overboard, and are screaming for help in the waves. they're gone immediately, and the sudden silence is so chilling.

reblogging this for posterity because i edited it due to being misinformed ✨ but the main idea of the post still stands

i know i'm years late to the party but are you telling me that kids today genuinely think odysseus is a misogynistic creep? when nearly every instance of odysseus being with a woman on his travels was basically straight-up coercion or because he was ordered to do so by a god? when his wife was so in love with him that she waited for him for two decades? when he broke down in tears upon hearing her voice again?

BIG fan of this design choice

#when hunger is no longer a problem #also this was definitely inspire by the odyssey #just so u know

rbing my own post to wholeheartedly agree with everything here and to say that i'm so glad someone else touched upon the fact that while not originally intended as such, by today's standards odysseus was subjected to sexual assault multiple times and i just think it's interesting that so many people hang onto the fake idea that he was a misogynistic womanizer rather than focusing on his very canon fact that he's an s.a. victim and also literally spent 20 years battling to get back to his wife and son

also this truly isn't meant to be a madeleine miller hate post but making a powerful woman character a r*pe victim as if it's like. for feminism is...a weird choice

i know i'm years late to the party but are you telling me that kids today think odysseus is a misogynistic creep because madeleine miller turned the protagonists of a 4,000 year old piece of classic literature into r*pists? when nearly every instance of odysseus being with a woman on his travels was basically straight-up coercion or because he was ordered to do so by a god? when his wife was so in love with him that she waited for him for two decades? when he broke down in tears upon hearing her voice again?

there's a big difference between consuming media with the mindset to analyze and consuming media passively, and you don't have to do either all the time, but so many of y'all clowns nowadays literally abjectly refuse to accept when someone analyzes a piece of media and extrapolates something about it that you don't personally agree with and it's vile tbh

"it's not that deep" it's never that fucking deep according to some of you. books? not that deep just enemies to lovers. films? not that deep just fun colors on screen. music? not that deep just ai generated lyrics. art? not that deep i could do that. and what if i want it to be deep for fucking once? what if i'm not content with surface level? are criticism and opinions and concerns to be dismissed in their entirety because you are happy floating on the surface never once wondering what's actually underneath? it's just a fun little thing it's not supposed to have big themes or ask the big questions well good for you but i'm asking

eveeyones got it wrong your mid 20s arent for going to the club or partying or picking up new crafts. your 20s are for discovering how much more autistic you are than you thought you were in high school

For 153 days, we’ve seen Palestinians taking care of not only fellow humans by sharing food with each other, helping save people from under the rubble, carrying random bloody strangers to hospitals, and lending a helping hand at any given, but we’ve also seen them, constantly, taking care of animals during the genocide.

the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern

everyone else has posted their own takes, so why not mine! without further ado, i give you:

RESIDENT EVIL TRANS HEADCANONS (that are not wildly ooc)

enjoy! feel free to use in any portrayals.

~

JACK KRAUSER (trans man)

his hypermasculinity and borderline, if not outright, misogyny and homophobia (calling leon "pretty boy," etc.) stems from his own dysphoria and feelings of inadequacy. from a young age, he presented and acted as masculine as he possibly could, in order to prove to everyone that he could be a "real" man. by re4, he's probably gotten the government to edit his paperwork so that in all but the most classified files, he's a cis man. i like to think he might not have even had to get top surgery, as he had naturally small breasts, and then worked out to the point where they look like natural pectorals. he wears a packer religiously, at basically all hours of the day--he knows the military would never allow him to take time off for bottom surgery.

ALBERT WESKER (trans man)

from a young age, albert was encouraged to be something more, be something better than regular humans. therefore, it was an easy step for him to begin transitioning. he was intelligent enough to source what he needed himself, dose himself with testosterone and hormone blockers properly, and eventually get himself top surgery. he views his transition, and transitioning in general, as another, smaller way to improve yourself past what the majority of humans can be.

ALEX WESKER (trans woman)

capcom all but wrote themselves into a corner with this one, canonically. i'll link to the actual post if i can find it again, but basically, the virus alex was injected with seems not to work on afabs. but, it works on her. need i say more? as for the finer details of her transition, see above. i'm sure alex and albert helped each other with their respective transitions.

ADA WONG (trans woman)

ada is a proud and confident trans woman. she revels in her sexuality and (obviously, canonically) she uses her looks and her body as a weapon. especially if wesker is trans, i could see him wanting to seek out other trans people to work with, as he trusts them marginally more than he would cis people.

ETHAN WINTERS (trans man)

i've thought about this one so much. he met mia in texas, so it seems likely he grew up in or around that area. as such, it makes sense for a trans man to want to leave the southern united states as soon as possible. plus, california is one of the first states to adopt transgender protection laws! not to mention, careers in i.t., computer sciences, and similar professions have statistically higher percentages of trans people in them, due to the career path being somewhat less gender-stereotyped. rose has blonde hair and blue eyes, and imo looks super similar to ethan and nothing like mia, so i like to think mia used one of ethan's eggs to become pregnant with rose. this would line up perfectly with the idea that she basically wanted to experiment with ethan's mold dna.

~

other, miscellaneous ideas: unfortunately, as much as i fucking love trans leon, due to the time period of resident evil 2 it would be pretty implausible for him to be an out trans man and work in law enforcement or any other government agency. however, that's not to say that he doesn't occasionally like more cutesy or traditionally feminine things, like the color pink, or cute stuffed animals, or hair clips, etc. i needed to mention him because it seems wrong to not mention my boy leon in a resident evil post.

hope you enjoyed these takes of mine! <3
