Ok I did the whole Barbenheimer thing and let me tell you, Barbie wasn't revolutionary or anything, but it did come up ahead. It did what it was supposed to do and, since I managed my expectations before going in, did it in a fun silly way that still left a bunch of possible deeper readings, even if they were sadly left unexplored (and were maybe unintended). Oppenheimer on the other hand left me very angry and disappointed, even if I went there knowing it was an usamerican warfilm so I wasn't expecting much.

I think Barbie and Oppenheimer were equally superficial and obvious with their intended messages presentations, themes and characters, and equally inconsistent with their story threads. But Barbie was about Barbies, was intentionally silly, and had more going for it than the story itself... and Oppenheimer was about one of the real life creators of the atonic bomb, about the ones responsible for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and about the subsequent cold war and the mess it left us today in regards to the existence and threat of atomic and H bombs.

I think I can safely say one had the responsibility to be a bit more nuanced and careful than the other, and that just did not happen. And no, i do not think there was any actual anti USA sentiment in Oppenheimer, as someone who lives in a Developing Country (TM)and is used to seeing usamerican propaganda all the time there was barely even a scratch of criticism buried in there; our knowledge of history and our own modern sensibilities and morality did all the heavy lifting in that front without the movie having to risk saying anything. Oh did he feel bad while the bombs were being dropped? Did they villanize a guy who went after him for uhh being better than him at public speaking? Did they say he was against the H bomb and was a pacifist now, actually (without showing it much but who cares, tell not show right)? He was still the hero. Not one Japanese person was shown. Not one civilian protest, not one appearance of the communists they were talking so much about after the scenes in the past, doing anything but talking the whole time. He still ended up with a "I love my country" tirade, there was still a haha nod to fucking Kennedy being the one to be on our hero's side. They still showed more scenes of women naked, drunk, cheating on their husbands and being negligent towards their kids than of them doing literally anything else.

The "nuance" and "anti-usa messages" was just a bunch of misplaced and inconsequential internal conflict that did not feel earned in any way, misogyny and random, boring and inconsistent jury scenes (sorry, "hearing" scenes or whatever they called so there wouldn't have to be consistent rules to follow). And the main character was so damn boring. And they didn't even represent the actual science parts well. And the editing was so weird and the flashing scenes didn't fit and were repetitive. And there was a happy ending for some reason?? It was a whole bunch of nothing with music building momentum that never went anywhere in the background of every scene for 3 hours and I wanted to leave the room for how angry it made me that this subject was treated that way and would probably get praised for it.

#barbenheimer #this isn't the most well though out criticism but i just saw another post saying how surprised they were about the usa criticism in that #and like. where? seriously where was it? oh that mccarthyism was kinda bad for people who did nothing wrong? that bombs are violent? #they barely even said that bombing hiroshima and nagasaki maybe wasn't necessary #everybody everywhere in the world knows that jfc are usamericans in general so behind in these discussions that this was some kind of #revelation? was that surprising of a movie to state? because oppenheimer barely scrathed that #they gave a shoutout to jfk in the end like he was some kind of mcu easter egg #like it was funny #and then it used that random idk sennator? as a scapegoat just so they could have a villain like the good basic usamerican film it is #so the hero could fight against the system by defeating this one guy! in uhh being promoted (?) happy ending for all!! hurrah!!! meanwhile #hundreds of thousands of japanese people are dead. many more die because of the cold war and the arms race #but oppenheimer got his fancy card back! isn't that great? aren't you glad you spent the last 30 minutes in these trials? the last 3 hours #watching nothing be developed? #god it left me so mad #and it will probably win an oscar (probably multiple even) and a lot of other people who think oooh boy look at that nuance :0 it even has #black and white parts! when the whole movie is black and white (like most usamerican movies) (but it's so EASY to make it grey with this #subject) (of course they didn't tho this is much easier) #tags #anyway nobody's gonna read this probably #I'm just angry #“oppenheimer” #“barbie” #this js barely even about barbie #sorry

The 'We need to talk' scene

but I've made it into a wet cat short comic

(and it only gets worse for him...)

Bonus secret 5th panel :

I will not stay silenced any longer. I really cannot relate to the badass girlboss Yomi truthers crowd. I'm sorry but constantly being so obsessed with proving your prowess and supposed superiority via [gestures at every single time he appeared in the game only to act like an insecure manchild who has to continuously reassert his authority he feels entitled to with continuos self-praise, lashing out with petty insults, violence or even pettier wackier violence] are not the acts of someone who is at all secure and confident in their abilities and themself,

#''ok but what if [x character] was truly THAT confident and cool and not overcompensating for anything'' you are so boring. begone. #Yomi to me reads like a very miserable man (which tends to be a side effect of being a deeply unpleasant person) #control is a comfort. power is security. make people do anything and punish everyone who makes you feel bad #powerful people can take anything they want from you. he KNOWS that #now he has that power. he's the director of the peacekeepers the quite literal top dog of kanai ward. the one whom the world revolves aroun #now he's the one who bargains and makes others grovel. people flock to him and he can make them do anything he wants them to do #now no one can make him scared or powerless ever again. And that is STILL not enough and will probably never be. #god. i want to wring him like a wet dishrag and smack him on the counter so he makes that PLAP sound. #anyway...... like and subcribe #mine #rain code #yomi hellsmile #oh wait one more thing - not vaguing anybody here actually nobody here. not talking about anybody in particular #i feel like im gonna need to say this. you know. gut feelings and the like. #girl god damn it the tags are longer than the post itself again. #The ''I DID proofread this but like only once and not that patiently'' tag

just wanna say im obsessed with your mind and i read your posts about kiryu like the morning paper. thank you for your service

(Sweats) e-even the ones about him laying eggs ?

#Thanks for the ask ! #HIIIIII thank you for reading my posts im really a serial rambler so that is no easy feat. i just had a lowkey nightmare that was insect #based so its nice to think about different kinds of eggs once in a while. sorry for the eggs i just learned the word gravid and i cant stop #saying it !!! i literally opened tumblr to make another post about kiryu i was gonna say he was probably antisocial in his childhood which #is really a miracle any girls managed to notice him at all. and i believe that he was very dismissive of his clothing and appearance because #you know when youre young and trans and havent realised it but you just randomly hate everything about your appearance and dont even knowwhy #i think his hair was always too long and too shaggy and he would let nishiki comb it sometimes because he really could not stand his mane #and sometimes when it gets wayy too long and shitty the sunflower caretaker would drag him outside and just cut a chunk of it off with a #knife and kiryu would have shoulder length hair for a little while... anyway i need to give him a little girlfriend like how rikiya had one #when he was in school because all trans guys need a little girlfriend or an all girl group of friends to be his girlfriends when hes a kid #so he can carry their shopping bags and wait for them outside the changing room etc and kiryu cant resist a girl so he gets a letter from #nishiki and he tells him yeah this is probably a prank to have you wait there for hours or there might be guys waiting to ambush you and #beat the crap out of you. and kiryus like Nobody beats the crap out of me except our dad. and goes to meet this girl and he actually agrees #to go out with her and this is the thing that keeps him in school because otherwise he would literally not go. like hed walk with yumi and #nishiki and the rest of the kids at sunflower that he doesnt care about to remember the names of. and he would just wave them off at the #gate and wander the town in his school uniform and then after school he’ll meet nishiki and possibly yumi at the gate (yumi probably makes #other friends but its a Must to walk nishiki home because he’ll get lonely) and when kiryu starts going out with this girl hes obligated to #walk her home so he already broke rule one but nishikis like happy for him But he has to walk home with some other random guys now and #eventually theyll broach the topic of ‘his psycho sister’ and nishiki literally has to beat a few guys up to defend kiryus honour and when #he comes back with news of how unpopular kiryu is with the rest of the guys because he looks better with short hair than they do and has a #girlfriend whos super cute. kiryu is just like damn did you commit social suicide to protect my honour? youre my best friend. but whatever #kids get over it fast. but parents dont!! and kiryu walks his girlfriend right to her front door and soon enough her parents are going to #find out that the boyfriend she keeps gushing about is a girl and straight up take her out of school to make her stop being gay and kiryus #like but ... im a boy ... punches the ground and screams to the sky. anyway enough about dysphoria simulator im here to talk about this guy #when hes a bit older because im salivating and shaking over the thought of his bootyass rip kiryu you woulda loved thongs. i think hed hate #ripped jeans but only because he thinks theyre a waste of manufacturing. its literally better for the world that kiryu decided 2 transition #because can you imagine if she was a girl and needed to wear a bra? like she would literally have an itchy back all the time which would #give her a hair trigger temper which means kamurocho a&e room will be very healthily plush indeed. god my battery is dying i need to take a #shower noww anyway really thank you for the nice message you are so sweet ... hi ...

The Nothing but the Truth motif in Kanako: aw this is a cute little melody

The Nothing but the Truth motif in Kanako (Reprise):

#the motif originally appears in Kanako but it's mostly prominent in Nothing but the Truth #so it's probably technically the Kaniko motif I think #but I also like this think that the two main motifs in Kanako belong to Chujin and Ceroba and come together to form the song itself #because one of the motifs is present in Blossom (the song that plays when you first meet Ceroba) #and the other motif appears in Nothing but the Truth #so though Kanako comes before Nothing but the Truth in the soundtrack #i wouldn't be surprised if the Blossom and Nothing but the Truth motifs come together to form Kanako and the Kanako Reprise #anyways funny ranting in tags that nobody is gonna read :3

okay I’m just gonna spew some thoughts here. There has been an overwhelming amount of “backlash” from conservatives calling the sandman “too gay”. Usually when stuff like this happens, creators would back down or whatever, but I think part of the reason Neil deals with it so well is because he’s very active in engaging with fans, and since he answers asks on Tumblr every single day, he also receives hundreds and thousands of messages thanking him for his work and the representation he has done through his creations. I think that one single genuine heartfelt message thanking you for saving their life or inspiring them to find their identity, is worth so much more than a hundred hateful reviews.

I’m also curious like, have these people who complain about the show’s  “wokeness” or how it’s “pandering to the queer community” ever considered the fact that the cast and crew behind the series could be queer themselves, and are only trying to represent their communities on screen? It’s funny how for once they are on the other side of what is considered the norm it’s like they’re suddenly begging for representation as if they aren’t in every other media.

#just me spewing my thoughts on my bi monthly tumblr visits #eh nobody's gonna read this anyways but i need to diary somewhere #these people probably also never read the comics #love this show so much #the sandman #the sandman netflix #neil gaiman #queer representation #frost.txt

I just checked my count, and I wrote. over 2k words today in the course of an afternoon. That's the most I can remember writing in a single day in months and months. For Tai Sui fanfiction.

#can't wait for almost nobody to read this lmao #I'm love tiny fandom <3 #but anyway I'm writing what has turned into an incredibly sincere depiction of professor Xi Ping #based on that one throwaway line in the antiquity extra #'random outsider pov gets the main character(s) as a professor' is such a common trope in fic #and it's very funny to me that weird mysterious lecturer/professor Xi Ping is just. a thing that happened off screen in tai sui canon #I *love* outsider pov fics. so I couldn't not write this #and it was meant to be short #but I've gotten very invested in thinking about what his class would be like #I think post-canon 300+ year old scholar era Xi Ping would be a good enough teacher. but in only the weirdest and most baffling ways #anyway this is probably gonna be my oneshot for the year. which gives me leave not to finish my xxc fic until late 2024 lmao #invasion of the frogs

just finished s6 of elementary (finished s5 on sunday. lol) and i’m trying to get my friends to watch it also so unfortunately i can’t drown them in my spoilery rantings so instead everything is going in the tags here so uh. abandon all hope ye who enter these tags, spoilers abound

#im gonna pad these tags a bit actually #so the spoilers go behind a 'read more' or whatever #youre welcome <3 #have i mentioned you should watch this show #anyways we're probably safe now su #HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIT #that is not at ALL where i expected that to go #gregson was really warming up to me this season. he had never really stood out as a characted before but i think he really shown in s5&6 #but man. that finale. honestly idk if i can forgive his character for that. i know he was just trying to protect his daughter but she had to #take responsibility for killing michael because it was not fair for joan to take the fall for that even unintentionally. im definitely gonna #miss him tho. and marcus too. i mean i knew his presence was coming to an end anyways with the marshalls but this finale has really dissolve #d the core cast here. now its jsut sherlock and joan. back in london too; thats quite the move #and in the last season. i guess the total shift is setting and cast didnt do well with ratings? or maybe it was always going to end at 221b #idk. but i think my favorite part of this season was sherlock completely devoting himself to the idea of joan getting a kid #personally idk how i feel about the narrative making her a mother in the end. i could say it has come problematic implications about women's #roles but honestly within the context on the narrative? i dont think thats entirely true. anyways i jsut thought it was super cure how much #sherlock just wanted joan to be happy and fulfilled. 'i would make adjustments for you watson always.' 'we're two people who love each other #they way he develops through her. the way he learns how to love and be loved. the way he becomes kinder and he lets down his walls to laugh #with her and smile with her. the way that they understand each other in ways nobody else ever has. it makes me som emotinal #HE NAMED A BEE AFTER HER #im never going to get over that #anyways 'uncle detective' is maybe the cutest thing ever. he cleaned up his murder dollhouse for a kid she didnt even have yet :) #ok i think im done. for now. its 1am and i have class at 8:30 so uh i guess i'll just die about it but oh well. i was gonna watch one more #and then i realized the one after that one was the season finale so you see how i did what i had to #anyways. good night #:') #will tags this far in even get registered? oh well #elementary #cbs elementary #please someone talk to me about them

Icebreaker at my new job: "What would you do if you were invisible for a day?"

Me: Have a friend sit in a meditation pose in a busy public park and lift them up so everybody thinks they're levitating and freaks out

#i couldn't give my real answer which is probably something like sabotage a bunch of world-destroyingly unethical corporations #and barring that honestly I'd just sit quietly and read/write/daydream/stargaze/actually meditate same as i do when not invisible #but nobody wants to hear about how quiet and boring their coworker is at home lmao #so i hope this at least makes the instructor laugh #we're not gonna talk about how the hell i would manage to lift one of my friends #i really miss being strong and athletic but that was another life #in a similar vein i guess you could move a bunch of stuff around and freak out ppl in like a poltergeist type way #but that seems meaner somehow and infringing on the relationship actual spirits have with the living #i'm sure i'm overthinking this but that's what i like to do lmao #anyway first day is tomorrow so i guess i'll find out what ppl are like there soon #gawds i'm so nervous

im looking around at shit has no one else seen the web strahd weaved in vallaki. nobody talks about it they all just want to talk about his tits. what about his machinations

#setting two bloodlines on a centuries long feud to keep them from reuniting the pieces of the man who killed him #listen i think about leo dilisnya more than probably 99% of the ppl who run/play this game. im not gonna say 100% bc i dont want to be #too big for my britches but. as a youngest sibling with no life path but two successful financially irresponsible older siblings. i get it. #anyway that aside nobody really ever talks about what might happen if those two pieces were brought together again. or what they really #mean in the first place #bc to me (MY PLAYERS LOOK AWAY DO NOT READ FURTHER/general spoiler warning for all other players) it means that leo cannot be reborn like #all the other souls in barovia can be #bc his souls trapped in the mirror! cant get out cant get back to a body! #so strahd giving the body to one family. trapping the soul and giving that to another family. making them Hate each other to guarantee they #never work together. it just oughta be talked about a bit more. lots of potential for getting Yet Another skewed version of strahds #backstory out of someone and another potential fated ally imho #IDK MAN IDK. i do know BUT I DONT KNOW #definitely going to give him a chapter in the comic i am making. which i am starting to script now that midterms r winding down #abbot first though bc Of Course abbot first

[mushroomcoree]

Aaah I follow a lot of RP blogs and now I kinda wanna be one too but I'm scared of talking to people and also idk what I would do and if anyone would even wanna talk to me and ahdbebajsjaaaa ><

I've never done anything like this before because I've always been too scared (existing in a space where people can perceive/judge me is terrifying lol) but I really wanna start finding ways to cope with/work through my anxiety because meds aren't working and I just wanna be able to function because where I am rn with it is exhausting. And one of the things I did to try that was start posting on here and it worked! Because I'm way less scared to post things and interact with people a lil bit on here now! But I'm still scared of actually actively trying to become mutuals with people because I've never really had online friends before and I'm so bad at texting because of how anxious it makes me so I'm scared I'd reach out to people and establish a connection and then ghost them and then that would make this an anxiety trigger for me and just bleh

#personal #roleplay #also i do want to make friends #because rn the only person i really talk to is my gf #and i love her but i think i probably should talk to more people? #idk i dont want her to have the burden of being my only friend really #and also i dont think i like not having friends #and i might want friends? its hard to tell idk #but it would be nice i think #anyway this is so long so nobody is gonna read it lol #sorry

[roshellow29]

for some reason my favorite thing to do with eden is to ship her with different characters so uh guess which canon character is getting roped into the eden spouse series
