Crazy that Izumi called her employee at the meat shop and said something to the effect of, "Hey, I know I'm only giving you a couple hours notice but I've got two kids that I'm going to ditch in Yock Island for a month to test them, could you hide there and watch over them covertly to make sure they don't die. I'll pay you extra if you also put on a komainu mask and terrorize the shit out of them." And then Mason, the otherwise completely normal butcher's assistant, was like, "How did you know this was my life's dream," and went off to live in the wilderness and attack children for thirty days and nights.

i love when people make parallels between law and robin + their reaction to luffy.
here’s us, survivors of genocide, who’ve forfeit our right to future, hollowed out, waiting for death — but we’ll have our last dance before we go.
here’s the god of joy, who’s heart beats the song of liberation, and he dances with us, yet he refuses to let go of our hands, for him it’s not the last. like all gods, he’s selfish enough to dig his nails in, selfish enough to invite himself behind our walls and look around, unbothered. he’s smiling, he wants us to hear his song and cheer with him. he doesn’t like the empty look in our eyes, others hate it too, but the fire he wants to see burning there is not the same that burned our homes, not the same that burned the dead, instead it’s messy and childish, with no respect for orders, it’s ace and sabo, it consumes the warships but leaves us warmed. annoyed by the darkness, he burns down the pitch black forests around us, opens up the skies and asks for a party, both of us now untethered and covered in soot.
here’s us looking into the void and the void sending her child to keep us company. what is there for us to do other than laugh with him, and when we quiet down, the void is no longer there.

SPARK
this is. about the dialogue between Bonifacio and Rizal, the impact that one had on the other, the way Rizal's novels could spark desire for freedom like a wildfire that will not be tamed. there's an element of 'I would have gone through life half asleep if I never met you,' to it. the linked tragedies, the characters from the novels themselves seem to echo forward onto Bonifacio and Rizal in their own way as well.
Rizal and the Revolution, Floro Quibuyen
The First Filipino, Leon Ma. Guerrero
Closet Queeries, J. Neil C. Garcia
additionally! the illustrated panel of Ibarra and Elias! it's a combination of a few things; them in Noli, but it's combining the character trajectory Ibarra/Simoun has gone on with El Filibusterismo (hence. the flames. dude said I came here to burn shit to the ground, and damn, it was a speech.) like. do you see the similarities between Bonifacio and Rizal in this because I cannot stop thinking about it.

i can’t explain why but one of the funniest things about jimmy and kim is the fact they have a queen size bed and not a king size bed. jimmy used to sleep on a fold out twin size bed so his standards are pathetically low, and Kim i think doesn’t feel the need to upgrade since she’s practical and jimmy doesn’t care. and it’s just so funny to me because they could easily afford a king size bed but they’re so codependent and focused on everything else they just never bother to upgrade. always sleeping right next to each other on that too-small queen size bed even when they’re fighting

One of my fav suggestions about Why Ravenous (1999) Flopped is that it's just an absolutely unholy mishmash of European and US film sensibilities in the 90s. I think that this could also be why it's gaining traction currently... compared to the 90s, I think the modern filmgoer picks up on both threads without trouble. Like. It's arty! It's gory! It's a spaghetti western! It's a tragedy! It's homoerotic! It's a comedy! It's a political metaphor! Damon Albarn from Blur/Gorillaz fame co-wrote the soundtrack, which is bizarre in and of itself!

miles story being written for him and how he means to reject that opens up with a racially motivated mess from that guidance counselor who some might say "meant well" but who ultimately was just going to do more harm than good. why arent more people talking about that
