#2 there´s no mention of it

[piovascosimo]

saw oppenheimer yesterday, nolan is such a mediocre director, it´s amazing he gets so much praise and love. everything is so studied and there is so little soul in his films. out of the ones i´ve seen, oppenheimer is clearly the worst. the first half is a very boring badly told recap of his life, then we get a slightly interesting moment where they build the bomb and cillian is great at expressing his conflicting emotions when it works. but!

then we get another full hour of manipulative bs, where every line and look feels like a wink to the camera, where we see how corrupt and paranoid the american government is. it could have been a great bit of cinema in the hands of someone more capable, bc that is a fact and there is so much to explore here. but nolan only uses it to absolve oppenheimer, and make us feel sorry for him, a brilliant man with good intentions who tried his best. i found it revolting. the story should be why so many scientists agreed to, when so many others declined, to help the us military to build such a thing, and to go forward with it even after hitler killed himself. this film barely touches that, you can intuit that it was ego, the common insane american superiority complex and need to be the best, but you can´t find any of that here. it´s a bland and banal film that says very little about the monstrosity of men.

#oppenheimer #christopher nolan #people say there was no need to show the consequences of the bomb on the people where they dropped it #or to mention all the people they killed in the area where they tested it #and the impression you get from the film is 1 they didnt matter #casualties of war #2 there´s no mention of it #instead they play it up how special that place was for him. as if it was a poetic thing. its disgusting #a bad film with awful optics #and 40 min overlong #all of his films are about making excuses about the awful actions of boring white men #enough. not wasting more time with his bs

Leon Kennedy Crying Headcanons

Warnings: Trauma, crying, emotion, comfort reader-insert, there’s a lot more for RE4 leon, I kept things gender neutral but if I slip up, lmk

Everything SFW but minors stay away anyway

RE2

Right off the bat, he doesn’t cry often

Not that he feels the need to bottle things up, he just doesn’t cry unless it’s something REALLY bad

As in, he’s going to shut down type of bad

If he does start getting emotional he really only wants his s/o

He’s not ashamed of his feelings, but he does prefer privacy

When he’s on the verge of crying, you’ll see his eyes become glossy, and he excuses himself to another room

His voice goes quiet and soft, and his hands shake a little bit

Just hold him, let him cry

You don’t need to speak, he just needs to let it out, though he does appreciate gentle reassurance

If you kiss his forehead he melts

After he’s done crying and feeling better he’ll still hold you

At this point it’s like aftercare, he needs to be taken care of a little bit, reassure him. Tell him you love him

He feels incredibly vulnerable and even a bit embarrassed he ended up crying so hard

He feels everything so strongly, it leaves him emotionally, mentally and physically fried

Just let him know everything is gonna be OK, and you’re there for him.

He’s gonna be fine, just needed a good ol’ cry

RE4

Bottles everything up. Absolutely refuses to let himself seem vulnerable

Leon had his emotional side pretty much beat out of him by the trauma of RC, military training and being an agent

So he bottles everything and hides behind the endless walls he puts up

You’ll need to know him extremely well to know when he’s going to break down, because he WILL break down

You’ll see him swallow and immediately turn away, his shoulders shake ever so slightly with his back turned to you

He’d most likely close his eyes tightly and take a deep breath to calm himself down

Like I said. Bottles everything up. He pretends he’s fine

Leon isn’t a going to look for you when he’s at his breaking point, so you’ll have to find him

But if you manage to be with him when he finally shatters completely, he’s going to need you

Be warned, what he feels is STRONG

This is everything he kept under lock and key literally exploding out in the open

If you belittle, criticize or insult him in this state, not only are you an asshole, he will immediately end the relationship

He physically goes weak, sinking to his knees

Leon will try and cover his face with his hands, hunching over to finally let the tears fall

He doesn’t just cry. He weeps himself into sickness

His entire body jerks with every sob to the point it hurts

Hold him. He needs someone to just hold him and protect him in this state

He’s BEYOND vulnerable while he’s like this. He can’t speak. He can barely breathe

Just wrap your arms around him, run your hands up and down his back, and whisper gentle words to him

In the back of his mind he’s gonna call himself whatever Krauser called him during his training, which makes him feel even worse

Leon shuts down at this point. His mind is a mess, his emotions are a chaotic disaster, and your the only one that can ground him

It takes a while. And I mean a good 20-30 minutes for him to become calm enough to even take a deep breath

He holds you the entire time, you’re his lifeline, and he can’t be alone

There’s a 50/50 shot he passes out immediately after crying. The chances skyrocket to 90/10 if your laying in bed during his break down

When he wakes up he’ll feel much better physically, though he’s embarrassed you saw him cry

However, if he remains awake, he needs to be reassured and taken care of. He’s so exhausted he becomes sluggish

Get him some water, tell him you love him and that you’re there for him

Even if he doesn’t say it immediately, Leon greatly appreciates your patience and understanding

Just hug him, kiss his temple and tell him everything is going to be alright

"Hang on, Claire... my cop sense is tingling..."

Leon, why are you so fucking awkward?

But yeah, the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide strikes again... sorta.

So, the Survival Guide has some incomplete but original uncut scripts from Resident Evil 2 in it and I spotted this while looking it over.

I'll try to post the entire script (save for the missing beginning to Leon's A campaign) at a later date. The formatting for it is a bit weird and I gotta figure all that out.

What would your video essais be about if you get to do videos?

I have a dream research project about the way the architecture of places of worship influence the mind and reflect the view of God (a là Ficthe's ''religion is reverse anthropology'' and Weber's sociology of religion but specifically about architecture) and what that means for the current era of megachurches in America, and I have longed for that to be a video essay for a full year now but I can't commit to making it

#essentially it would be philosophy mixed with history and social sciences #Philosophytube... 2 (this is a joke I am nowhere near as good as Abigale in any field related to video essaying) #I do have a growing bibliography about this very topic I mention tbf but in order to do it justice I'd have to make interviews to people #and ask them about their own feelings about their architecture and their god(s) #and. That is a full research project and I am 1. in college and 2. Busy and 3. not experienced enough for it #[.asks] #anonymous #(I wish I could- idk. reach out to one of the better known video essayist and ask how they started out and dip my feet in with other topics #(and then get to this one.

My late summer 2023 cdrama updates (+ movies)

This is a follow-up to a previous post I published in February. I'm thinking of doing twice-yearly updates on what I'm watching! I'm also including a few movies this time.

I'm going to try to include content warnings, BUT my memory is not perfect, so please be aware that I may have forgotten details.

Shows I've watched: Some of these were mentioned as "currently watching" in my previous post.

《消失的孩子》 The Disappearing Child As the title suggests, this show is a mystery about a child who goes missing. It also incorporates other plotlines that gradually converge—that's all I'll say to avoid spoiling it. The payoff when the plotlines finally intersect was so satisfying! Overall I really enjoyed this show and highly recommend it. Be aware that it does have references to sexual assault and corpses (I don't think anything was directly shown).

《猎罪图鉴》 Under the Skin This show is about a sketch artist, a police detective, and an old murder case that connects them. I enjoyed the first half, which mostly chronicled stand-alone cases. But I found some cases hard to follow (disclaimer: my police vocab is limited, and I took several breaks while watching). Frankly I was a bit disappointed by the ending, so I don't think I'll watch the upcoming second season. Warning: contains some depictions of sexual assault and domestic violence.

《她和她的她》 Shards of Her To avoid spoiling anything, I'll just say that this show is about a woman who, after experiencing a traumatic accident, wakes up in an alternate version of her life. This show had me constantly doubting what was real and what was fake! I really couldn't get it out of my head. BUT I ultimately wouldn't recommend it due to what I found to be pretty disturbing sexual violence. I don't think there was anything too graphic, but I had to take significant breaks between episodes due to the upsetting content.

《镇魂》 Guardian I knew virtually nothing about this show (I thought it was steampunk tbh) but had heard good things. It's hard to summarize...basically it follows a police bureau that handles supernatural cases and, with some help from a mysterious, powerful envoy, saves the world. My favorite part was the first half, when they were mostly solving stand-alone cases. I got a bit fatigued during the second half. But it was perfect for when I wanted to unwind after work. Warning: the ending left me upset, and the special effects are hilariously bad.

《模仿犯》 Copycat Killer This is probably one of the most violent and death-heavy shows I've ever seen (and that's coming from someone who has seen Criminal Minds and part of Hannibal). It's about an unconventional prosecutor and a sadistic serial killer who uses the media to cause mass panic. Without spoiling it, I'll just say you need to be prepared for murder, torture, suicide, and other violent imagery. This show is not for the faint of heart—I could barely finish it, honestly. There are no happy endings for this kind of show.

Movies I've watched:

《想见你》（电影版） Someday or One Day (Movie) This long-anticipated film adaptation was a letdown for me personally. Instead of simply condensing the show, they made A LOT of changes. I'm not against changes, but the plot of the movie was way too confusing for me to follow. I'm not even going to try summarizing it here. If you haven't seen the show, I think you'll be completely lost. If you have seen the show, you'll be wishing you were rewatching the show instead.

《消失的她》 Lost in the Stars I'll admit, I only went to see this to see 朱一龙. The premise is very Hitchcock—a man is nearly driven over the edge after his wife vanishes and a woman he has never met appears, claiming to be his wife. There are lots of twists and turns, and I did not see the ending coming at all. Personally, I wish it had less action and more elements of a psychological thriller. It was a fun summer movie, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. But that's OK!

《关于我和鬼变成家人的那件事》 Marry My Dead Body I barely knew anything about this film before I watched it. I only knew it had 许光汉, and I saw a lot of buzz online. It's about a homophobic police officer who enters into a ghost marriage with a (male) ghost. Frankly, I didn't like it that much. I did enjoy seeing the characters' growth, but the plot was very fast-paced, so I didn't have time to process anything that happened. Please note: there is rear nudity and some limited depictions of sex.

Currently watching:

《隐秘的角落》 The Bad Kids After hearing about how great this show is for years, I'm finally checking it out. I've only seen the first episode so far, but I'm really excited to see what's to come! It's about three children who accidentally film a murder. That's really all I know at this point.

《我们与恶的距离》 The World Between Us I haven't even finished the first episode of this show yet. I started it but decided to pause because I felt like I was juggling too many shows. I plan to revisit it after I finish some other shows. I know it's about the aftermath of a mass shooting, so I'm expecting it to be very grim.

《不良执念清除师》 Oh No! Here Comes Trouble I saw a lot of praise for this show online. It's a bit odd but in an endearing way. It follows a young man who discovers he inherited a mystical power after all sorts of strange beings start coming to him for help. So far the only thing I disliked was the gore.

《你的孩子不是你的孩子》 On Children This show is kind of like Black Mirror but with the theme of troubled parent-child relationships. Each episode is practically a movie, and I have only finished one so far. If you are not on good terms with your parents, it may bring up some painful memories.

Potentially abandoning:

《理智派生活》 The Rational Life I started this drama because I was curious about the premise—a professional woman's ups and downs in the workplace. There is also a slow romance (a 姐弟 romance since the male lead is much younger). However, after finishing episode 23 out of 35, the thought of watching 12 more episodes kinda fills me with dread.

《你安全吗？》 Are You Safe? This show is about "vigilante" hackers and the antics they get up to. It's supposed to raise awareness for cybersecurity. Honestly I don't think I have made any progress on this show since my last post...! I may just abandon it because there are a lot of other shows that have more successfully caught my interest.

I can't wait to share another update on what I'm watching/have watched in 6 months or so!

strong bad facial expressions post

ok, this post was one i wasnt gonna make originally because i felt it was like......WAY too niche to be normal. however, most of you guys are more insane (positive) (this is good) than me anyway so i do not care!!!!!! this isnt in order of the toon it is in so um. sorry !!!!!

STRONG BAD SMILING

(from various, image from sbemail #126 - best thing)

not very odd or uncommon so im just mentioning it here real quick. his smile means everything to me but that is much besides the point. this image isnt from like, the first toon he smiles in but it was the most normal example so i used it. i like it when he does this. but again, increasingly normal.

2. STRONG BAD WINKING

(from sbemail 149 - candy product)

um. i dont know whether i like this one or not. on one hand it is oddly cute to me. on the other. um. dont fucking do that sb?????? keep your eyes open. luckily i dont think he ever did this again.

3. STRONG BAD MAD. NOT HAPPY

(From Date Nite)

angry strong bad. i actually have some pretty intimate experience with this specific expression, as i have lurked in the files for date nite for more time than you think someone would. the symbol for this one is pretty weird.

4. STRONG BAD POST-VORE

(from sbemail 187 - winter pool)

everything about this image is wrong. his mouth is so round. his eyes are so utterly disappointed. honestly, an appropriate reaction. poor guy. literally a sopping wet cat to me.

5. STRONG BAD MAKING OUT WITH PIECE OF PAPER

(from teen girl squad #10)

another pretty rare instance of his eyes actually being closed. i do not have mixed feelings about this one however, i very much like this one. despite the fact that he is....making out with his teenage girl oc. in front of his brothers and the cheat. i kind of like to imagine that he reads tgs to all 3 of them and that is why they were in that one. everything about this issue is still utterly cursed but i still love it very much and he makes a very odd face

6. LITERALLY ANY EXPRESSION FROM RECENT H*R TOONS

(from various, images from decemberweenvent calender and sbemail #209 - parenting respectively)

strong bad's actually a lot more expressive in recent toons. atleast in my opinion. they arent as horrifically terrifying to me but they make me happy all the same. homestar's kinda undergone a similar thing too, but he was always decently expressive so i will not make a post about that. yet.

anyway, i just made this post because i think about a few of these very often. i love it very much!!!!!!!!!

#long(ish) post #strong bad #homestar runner #honorable mention to sbemail 170's the cheat with his mouth open. not a strong bad but it is funny 2 me
