saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023
if those leaks about ice adolescence are true and the movie really made it all the way to post-production before being completely scrapped then i hope someone sends the entire movie in its post-production state to the lost media wiki, i hope it becomes verifiable public knowledge that mappa cancelled a movie that was damn near finished and in the final stages of editing, and i hope the fact that they let people put that much work into it for no reason when they're already known to be an awful studio to work with and then strung fans along for years about it becomes a controversy that they can never escape from. i hate this so much.
edit: i should've shown the leak i was referring to in my original post, but since i didn't think to do so, i've clarified further in a reblog here! take this with a grain of salt as it is technically an unverified rumor, but this is horrible of MAPPA--a studio already notorious for mistreating and overworking their animators--if they truly did abandon the yuri on ice movie so far into the production process.
“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

"And it came from a place nobody would've expected. That gives me faith going down the line forever. If I'm ever in a place where I don't know what's supposed to be or what's supposed to happen. Somewhere, somebody is working on the thing that you need and you may not even be aware of who they are. That was the most serendipitous experience I think I've ever had in my life."
