summer is coming up lads..

#polls #humid heat is the worst you're like. swimming through the air at that point and it's miserable and sticky #you can't breathe properly and you can't sweat proper either it just won't evaporate right #every part of you is moist no matter what you do and anything you wear becomes permanently glued to your skin #you go into a cold building and experience relief for a moment before you become too cold #you're not soaked like you just took a dip in the pool but it's close and now you're miserable and sticky and damp AND COLD ON TOP OF IT #anyway. i do not like humid heat. thank you.

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag show club full of trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

#tokyo godfathers is a beautiful and wonderful movie #ah what was it hirasawa said in an interview about kon #not that he did soundtrack for TG but he worked w Kon a lot #ah right. the paradoxes of kon's writing #his films are simultaneously very kind and very unkind #i think this is 100% one of those films. again. super worth watching

I'm curious. what job would you do if money was no object (you just automatically had an income you could live comfortably on)? including work like volunteering, studying etc. please share in the tags :)

#art stuff art stuff art stuff art stuff #spend time painting maybe... i enjoyed painting in college and I'm sad i don't have the time to do it at home very often #even setting up space for watercolor is hard sometimes #i'd also like to take some proper cooking classes #travel would be nice too #not even starting out with around the world just getting to spend some time dawdling around out here in tx would be cool #there's so many pretty places and I'd love to have the time and funds to properly day-trip #read.... read read read #i have soooo many books to read!!! #garden properly... woodworking classes... #a lot of stuff really #but i think ultimately the job dreams all go back to art stuff. design. character concepts. illustrating. curating. that's it.

pls know that I bought myself a little art scrapbook after seeing yours and I am, like, ABSURDLY excited to use it 💚

HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH!!!

I hope you have a lot of fun!

Journaling and scrapbooking have become a lot of fun to me lately because they're so versatile: you can put all kinds of stuff in 'em, and there's soooo many accessories and specialty items you can get nowadays.

Here's some of my favorite stuff to use with my hobonichi planner: planner-specific sticky notes, regular and mini sized sticky notes, washi tape and washi tape cutter, white-out tape, and a glue pen + tombow's glue dots roller. You can't forget a good pair of scissors or an x-acto knife, either.

So far I've gotten more use out of the glue pen; it's perfect for the mini sticky notes and when I cut stuff out and it's in odd shapes the glue tape can't quite handle:

Don't forget to get a bunch of weird stickers! Get some tape! Marker pens!! A ruler! An edge cutter for papers to make em round or decorative! More stickers!!!!

Again, I really hope you have fun in your scrapbook!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

#answered #replies #i do a lot of my online shopping on jetpens still #but i do like dollar stores and weird toy stores and bookstores and novelty places for stickers #stationery and stuff i can get at work... i got the glue pen and the tape dots there too #a few friends have also sent me stickers and things and i love them a lot too #though those I've used on sketchbooks more than my hobonichi #anyway the most important thing is to have fun with it! #and if it's an everyday thing it really does make you be a little more present in your day to find something to write about #anyway! have fun! do cool stuff! don't stress about it! enjoy it!!!

i'll go first my parents almost named me felicity. which would've been so cool but i definitely would've been like 5x crazier if i was named that

#polls #i found lists of my potential names if i were born male or born female #since i was a very secretive sort of critter even in the womb and no one could get a clear look at what the bits were #so for the longest time it could've gone either way #i think my favorite names from the boy side were leon or rosemund #and my favorites from the girl side were andromeda or gillian #gillian ironically being so close to my actual name but yknow whatever

[sleepinglionhearts]

if i ever write something set in the united states im just going to do zero research whatsoever and make stuff up to sound cool it’s equality
