#maybe watch a movie

[jamisafan]

It's my birthday!

I'm 18 now. I'm not the most excited. I hope the day goes decent aside from the fact I have covid. Just want to spend time with my Mom and sibling.

#its my birthday #im scared to be an adult #im not mature #i watch cartoons all day and write fanfiction #i dont know what im gonna do yet #maybe watch a movie #my mom got me a jack skellington ice cream cake #thats gonna be good

I wanna kiss a man on the mouth.

I feel so lonely.

#doesn’t even have to turn into love making #we can just kiss #and hold each other #maybe watch a movie #talk about our day #make dinner #purposely get batter on each others face #and laugh about how silly we look #maybe get a pet #name it some silly name #live on the country side #or maybe the city #whichever he prefers #get married #I hold him up in my arms as we share our first kiss as newly weds #him fixing my bow tie cuz I never learned how to tie it right #I feel like he would want to go to the beach for our honeymoon #I hate the sun and the water but for him I will walk on a thousand suns and swim the largest seas #UGHHH I HATE BEING THE WAY I AM #I feel like I gotta throw up #venting ig #ignore me #is this a cry for help? #maybe #i’m so lonely

I have one other ask I’m gonna try and answer for the evening, and then I’m probably gonna call it, at least for now.

someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

#across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #break from my regularly scheduled trigun posting for spider posting #i'm actually kinda eh on the idea of the canon and police chiefs dying it is not my favorite plot point #but like any sane person i love spiderverse so #actually still think i like the first one more but wroaw much to think about #spiderverse #atsv #.lieii #i only watched the movie once so hopefully this is all accurate #i feel like this is all really obvious my point was like #pavitr being an example of a spiderperson who is still successful without going through all these awful things #and you think despite all this stuff about the multiverse how does he feel about the chief being saved? hes probably rly grateful right? #i mean maybe something terrible will happen to him in the next movie but. yk what im saying #.lieii txt

for me at least, theres always been a really stark divide in the 'child character is the main antagonist' sort of stories.

on one hand. theres stories that rely on the shock factor of a child being evil, because we're supposed to believe that kids arent capable of that sort of thing. i guess its supposed to be frightening but the novelty always wears off really quickly for me.

i think 'a child is the villain' always lands most successfully for me when a kid is given power beyond their years (either by adults around them or otherwise supernatural/societal forces) and then everyone is floored when they arent exactly responsible with that power. and sometimes theyre even selfish! not because that kid is evil, but because theyre a kid.. acting like a kid would in their situation.

it means that any sort of story that follows requires a protagonist to reason with someone who may not even understand the harm theyre doing, or worse - not have the life lived to understand why they should care in the first place. and also, i think watching what happens when u have an destructive force seeking comforts that any child deserves doing whatever they can to have those things is (to me) much more interesting than 'child who is fucked up and evil for no reason but being born that way actually'

#a lot of people have pointed it out but molly from pokemon has stuck with me for years since i first watched that movie #and subsequently i think inspired mars #but im noticing this with thistle as well. falin is my favorite characyrr but thistle almost stole that spot by the end. maybe theure tied #just like.... a kid being adultified by a culture of ppl they were pushed into and handed responsibility beyond their years #when its clear they were only ever seeking a family/warmth... aaugggh. aughhh #thistle i love you. my baby

80s anime dubbing is truly a lost art form

#i watched it subbed and then I went and watched it dubbed and it was technically worse but it made me laugh many times so mayb it was better #you probably have seen clips from it already but tbh the whole thing is full of gems #it’s like instead of t he thing where you only get 1 f word per movie it’s like they thought if they didn’t hit a certain quota of fucks #they just wouldn’t get paid #devilman

i lose 80% of respect for a movie the moment a female protagonist wakes up in bed with artfully tousled hair and a full face of unsmudged makeup what is that mcfuckery

#don't care how good the movie was up until that point #the director clearly has no meaningful grip on human reality #maybe i'll finish the movie but from this moment on i am watching a grown man playing with dolls in a sandbox #which is actually a bit insulting to kids as metaphors go #bc i've MET kids who have way more empathy for their dolls than this man apparently does to his female characters #who the FLIP gave this man a 50 million dollar budget. he has never met a woman

#art #ceramics #golem #Jewish #fucking struggled with the writing on his forehead lol #I poked a little hole on the top of his head for an eye pin #so it could be a necklace or something #but I think he’s a bit too big for that. maybe a keychain #I’m in a ceramics class rn I will post more stuff I made there soon #recently watched the German expressionist movie abt the golem bc I had access to it and bc of Jacob Geller #thank you Jacob very cool #I liked it

there was something really jim henson-esque and campy about how some of the non-human races were portrayed in the new dnd movie that i really enjoyed. they could’ve easily gone the shitty cgi route or just not shown those races up close at all, but no, they said you want a bird man? we’re gonna get you a bird man

#i just watched the movie last night! it was great :) #i rate it as FUN and COOL the only ratings that matter <3 #dnd movie #??whats the tag lmao #dungeons and dragons honor among thieves #dnd movie spoilers #honor among thieves spoilers #i guess jic #when i heard aarakocra i was for sure expecting they would just make it a human with wings maybe #imagine my pleasant surprise when this fraggle rock looking motherfucker showed up #and the dragonborn looked like he came straight out of the dinosaurs tv show which was v cool imo #the tabaxi mother and child were my favorites though they were so cute #shame they didn't put a little bit more of that creativity into doric's design #even just some bigger horns and some cool contact lenses would've been fun #still loved her though :p

hang on one more Nimona thing i realized. I'm so used to movies where the protagonist is inherently talented with no reason and is able to overpower the antagonists. Like, they're always unexplainably powerful and "oh wow, this person is stronger than these other people that have been training for years."

So, on my first watch, I thought that's what it was for Ballister. He fought a bunch of his fellow knights, overpowered them, disarmed the prodigy, Goldenloin.

THEN i rewatched, paid more attention, and holy shit. He's been like this since the beginning.

And then i started to notice the little things that subtly supported this.

He makes his own arm, that must take intellectual skill. He grabs a can that was about the fall off the shelf and make noise, without even looking at it.

And during the fight scene at the institute!! At first, I was like ok, typical protagonist fight scene where they overpower tons of other people. Because Plot.

But no!! the more i think about it, it's reasonable. It's established early on that Ballister is competent, he's skilled. He's very aware of things going on around him. He's able to knock out knights that around coming up behind him without looking, swiftly disable opponents.

Rewatching it always makes me go back and see these characters in a new light. So my view on Ballister went from "ah, mess of a man that's put in a tough situation. Able to do these crazy things because they're necessary to the plot." to "Oh he's competent!! That's the point!! He's still a mess but :0"

#nimona #nimona spoilers #aksdbkhasbf was this obvious? probably. #BUT I MUST. REITERATE. I DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT NIMONA GOING IN. I ALSO MAY BE STUPID. A BIT. #i treated this like any other kids' movie that i could maybe watch with my family. just kinda vibing. #not included is his recording the director's confession. WHERE was he in order to get that angle. #i know it was probably so that the viewers expected it less but. man
