being asked follow up questions while infodumping is what i imagine sex would feel like if it was real

i hate when websites offer dark mode but it's not low contrast at all (instagram pc i'm looking at you)

like the whole reason im changing to dark mode is because i don't want to be blinded but if you're going to put #FFFFFF white text on your #000000 background there's no point

#not sure if this is just me or an nd thing or my eye sensitivity but i hate it #web design

also i'm VERY impressed with how much suzume adapted modern technology to move the story along. everyone's synchronized earthquake alerts. the maps app to show just how far suzume went (and hence how far she was willing to go to follow her heart). following daijin through people's social media posts. suzume's one resource that allowed her to safely run away being her smartphone. it was all so clever and brilliant and it's the proof everyone needs that you CAN properly integrate modern tech with fantasy and magic so if i ever hear shit about it again i WILL be fighting people thank you that is all!!

They made Souta a chair for 97% of the movie because they knew we'd all pass away from his beauty if they didn't

suzume is just. you are the places you leave haunted. you are a stranger’s mercy. you hold your own hand. you are everybody’s tragedy and everybody’s love

The cats being Yin and Yang, the head and tail, Mt. Fuji and the magma beneath it, fire and ice. Love and grief. Daijin being starving and weak but when protecting Suzume, is strong. The cats turning their opposite color when they're at full power. Sadaijin as the mother and Daijin, the child.

It really parallels with the movies theme. The light may be lost but the memories remain. Strangers help, even if they don't know they're helping: Humans rally around a cute cat, making him newsworthy. A friendship is formed over an orange. A small act of kindness multiplies again and again

And in the same way: Adults want to but can't help a child looking for her mother. An aunt harbors resentment towards her ward. A chair man refuses help even when he's incapable of continuing on his own.

But that's not how humans work, is it? That's the movie's point. Suzume's aunt finds her and while she can't bring back her mother, she'll make her a wonderful bento every day and give as much of her love as she can. Tamaki did have some resentments, but they don't overshadow her love for Suzume. Souta accepts Suzume's help. Even though he asks her st most every turn to stay safe, he admires her will to do what's right.

That's humanity at its core: Duality

There's something so deeply profound about Suzume's ideas about how people love the land, and how in return the land loves its people. That the separation of people from the places they love is a trauma so deep, not just in the people but in the land itself, these lonely places that are abandoned, that it ripples and builds and breaks the world again.

That you heal that wound by remembering how people loved that place, and then let it go. You remember the love and happiness. And then you return it to the gods. That you grieve the land like you grieve a person- you have to remember it, love it, before you can really heal from its loss.

I’m sorry, I can’t come into work today. I didn’t get a long rest and god gave me a point of exhaustion. All my skill checks are at disadvantage.
