okay still having Nimona thoughts. may I just say I love the difference in the arrow scene in both the webcomic and the movie and how they serve different narrative purposes

giving context for those of you who haven't watched the webcomic - this will be spoilers, by the way, so if you intend to read the webcomic later keep that in mind; also there will be movie spoilers later on if that wasn't obvious so if you want to watch the movie go watch that first - in the webcomic, Nimona fakes being in pain after the arrow is pulled out of her leg. key word being fakes, given that Nimona has insane regenerative abilities (something that isn't outright stated in the movie but still seems to be true there) and in truth she didn't really feel any pain at all. but, much like in the movie, Nimona fears being rejected for who she is and what she's capable of, so she intentionally hides her regenerative abilities (or at least the full extent of them) so Ballister won't freak out. it's good and nice on a first read and then when you learn the full context it turns somewhat bittersweet because you know that Nimona has yet to fully trust Ballister yet and that's why this whole scene is happening to begin with

meanwhile, over to the movie - there, Nimona...doesn't really have a reaction to the arrow being pulled out. she doesn't fake any pain, just kinda sits there quietly. which, again, makes sense with the regeneration, and also more practically fits the narrative since the context for the arrow scene in the movie is wildly different (in the comic it was after a bank heist (long story), in the movie it's directly after a successful kidnapping of the squire who handed Ballister his sword to question him, with said squire still being in the trunk), but also in the movie the arrow scene is where Nimona starts to realize she can actually trust Ballister. sees that he cares, takes the time to help treat her injury even though it's not a big deal to her, actually asks questions about how she experiences the world and trying to understand her better. whereas in the comic the arrow scene is an initially heartwarming scene turned bittersweet as you realize that it's a perfect demonstration of how little Nimona trusted Ballister at all, in the movie the arrow scene is where she actually starts to trust Ballister and it's incredible

#nimona #nimona film #fun fact i actually grabbed my copy of the nimona graphic novel for this post as a reference #since it has been a hot minute since i've read it #anyway can you tell this movie has altered my brain chemistry

“I would bust through the wall in Skinamarink” that’s not the point of it. It’s not happening to YOU. It’s happening to small powerless children who cannot do that. They can’t do anything like that. They’re children and they’re alone and they got skinamarinked. Show me a five year old that can punch down a wall. Please show me one it’d be really funny

#leanne grabs a megaphone #skinamarink #assflash newshole sometimes the fear is being unable to save the subjects of the film #rather than fear of your own bodily harm

big fan of the way

jack and barbossa fight using the environment to their advantage in any and every possible way, even when physics or common sense disagrees

will fights like he’s in a ballet, constantly spinning and turning his opponents’ balance (or lack thereof) against them

elizabeth initially improvises and makes only quick and sneaky strikes, then learns from will and the pirates both and lands somewhere in the middle

norrington is usually on the attack and tends to duck and dodge rather than parry blows

it’s good characterization! every action in a battle has so much weight!! sword melees usually devolved into brawls in close quarters and potc finds the balance between fantastical swashbuckling and...falling realistically! throwing punches!! shoving and kicking and running away!!! hot take in the year 2023 the fighting in potc is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

#and the way guns are only ever used once in a fight is very special to me too <3 #well-choreographed scenes filmed on actual location my fucking beloved #this post brought to you by the way norrington grabs jack's wrist to steal the key and they slam into a wall from the momentum of it #anyway. back to the gif mines #bolt watches potc #notes

When Marnie Was There (2014, dir. Hiromasa Yonebayashi) & The Boy and the Heron (2023, dir. Hayao Miyazaki)

#i def agree that there r so many parallels to other ghiblis (esp other miyazaki films) that u can point out #but as someone who loves marnie i couldn't help but notice unexpectedly similar vibes between anna's and mahito's stories #like this sense of it being half classic ghost story & then half dreamlike sequences (as an exploration of grief) #there were other visuals and elements i could point out but this is all i could grab from the trailers lol #ghibli #when marnie was there #the boy and the heron #hayao miyazaki #hiromasa yonebayashi #parallels

I know I say it a lot, but I do loathe how performative support for people with mental illnesses is on social media.

People will give you barebones support if you have depression or anxiety, but if you have a personality disorder? People are horrid enough about seeing cluster b folk as cartoon villains, but they aren’t very supportive of cluster a or c either as soon as someone dares show symptoms of OCD or PPD. Then suddenly they’re chronically online and irrational. If a person with NPD or ASPD shows a symptom online? People will drag them through the mud immediately.

That’s not even getting into how social media looks upon psychotic or dissociative folk, who are just written off immediately as being unable to think or speak for themselves, and barely see them as human beings.

So more or less what I want to say is that if you are mentally ill in a way that would have gotten you lobotomized and/or locked in a little white room if you showed these symptoms 60 years ago, I see you. You are not the monsters they think you are. You are not less than. You are not more inherently dangerous than anyone else. We do not deserve the way they look at us.

We may not all have much in common besides being betrayed by our own minds and our own family, friends, peers, and so on, but despite the best efforts of society, we are still here, and we are strong in ways they can never know. And if they fear us and detest us still, then let our existence be in direct defiance of those who wish to blot us out and erase our neurodivergencies from how we are presented in history should we do something admirable.

The ways our minds work are not always fun, but it isn’t something for us to sweep under the rug and hide anymore. Be proud of the way you’ve made it this far as a square peg forced into a round hole. The world is harsh because it was built for something other than us, a nonexistent ideal of what a “normal” human being should be. We are different in ways that may be beautiful, tragic, or a mixture of both to us, but no matter our personal opinion on the shape of our minds, our minds are a part of us. We cannot whittle our corners off to perfectly fit into that round hole, we will always be square pegs, and that is something we should be able to move forward with accepting.

Whether your mind walks beside you as a loyal guard dog who must be reminded often not to bite unless necessary, or if it’s more like a bolt of lightning caught on a leash and laboriously dragged down the path with you desperately trying to keep it from breaking free and causing destruction in its wake, or if it’s a terrified mouse you have to hold onto firmly to avoid it biting you and scurrying away without you, you have to walk this path with your mind in whatever shape it may take. There are healthy ways to treat and manage your mind to make this walk safer, and you needn’t take the walk alone, but you do need to take that walk.

A Tale of Two Sisters・2003

[kittyisaddicted]

“Alex still doesn’t really know what kept drawing him back, only that he would sneak into June’s room and find the page and touch his fingertips to the boy’s hair, as if he could somehow feel its texture if he imagined it hard enough.“ (p.15)

“He pushes his hands into Henry’s hair, and it’s as soft as he always imagined when he would trace the photo of Henry in June’s magazine, lush and thick under his fingers.“ (p.137)

“His fingertips brush the page in the same place they did when he was young, over the sun-gold hair, except now he knows its exact texture. It’s the first time he’s seen it since he learned where this version of Henry went.“ (p.179)

Alex' addiction to Henry's sun-gold hair.
