[autumnsup]

So.... I've been a little sleep-deprived lately, through no fault but my own, because my brain has decided that this is the week I try to catch up on the list of films I've been meaning to watch for ages. I've found myself gravitating towards the ones with stellar women actors, such as:

Toni Collette in Hereditary. Like, how does she do that? With her face, her voice, her way of walking, shambling, crouching, and floating across the screen? I was blown away by her performance in The Sixth Sense and The Staircase, but this one might be the most memorable one yet (in the horror movie genre anyhow). The whole look of the film was stunning too, in a dark, sinister way.

Margot Robbie in Barbie. Obvs she's a treat to look at, and while I'm still getting a sense of her range as an actor, some of her scenes in the Barbie movie just took my breath away. Including the ones with Kate McKinnon (who is of course a national treasure).

Saoirse Ronan in Greta Gerwig's Little Women. I've loved her performance in every film I've seen her in, but I watched this film specifically because I wanted to see how Gerwig interpreted such a classic tale. She did not disappoint, although I was initially a bit puzzled by some of her other casting choices. But it all came together in the end, in the most lovely (and quietly empowering) way. I will probably watch the 2017 BBC version next, if I can get access to it.

Cate Blanchett in Tár. She's another actor who knocks my socks off in pretty much every role I've ever seen her in, even if I didn't like the film as a whole. I am a bit on the fence about this one because of the subject matter and how it ends, but she did a fantastic job as always, and the fake interviews and "is Lydia Tár a real person?" articles that sprang up after its release are highly entertaining. I'm looking forward to watching her in a less villainous role in Carol, my next film on the list.

Alongside all these powerhouse performances, I've been enjoying fluffier fare in the form of Good Omens, season 1. I will of course be tuning in for season 2 when it drops this Friday, because it seems a shame not to support its continuation into the final season 3, after languishing in the shadows of Mr. Gaiman's imagination all these years. (Assuming that the writer's strike gets to a satisfactory place for everyone, that is).

It'll be a miracle if I still have eyeballs by the end of the week, but I'm kind of enjoying this cinematic spree while it lasts!

I am so close to making a Hazbin AU where Angel is Niffty's dad because making this post and THIS vvvv

Fucking image made the idea go from "huh, funny coincidence" to full on brainrot.

#Angel is Niffty's dad now #im sorry for already going off the deep end #but its happened #I know it has zero canonical backing besides the speculated birth/death dates of these two #but it would be cute #and kinda sad #but cute! #Angel Husk Niffty and fat nuggets forming a little family unit #eventually getting redeemed and getting to meet aunt Molly #for angst you could have Alastor using this to manipulate Angel similarly to how he fucked with Lucifer #except Alastor actually has been more present for Niffty than Angel #and the fucked up extra edge of him owning Niffty's soul #not to mention that Angel 100% has no fucking clue he ever had a kid #like he's gay #and died in the 1940's #sure he's slept with women a few times for various reasons #but that was rare since again he's got no interest in women #so the chance of him having an illegitimate child was never even a thought #besides sex education in the '30's and '40's wasn’t exactly stellar #finding out he's a dad would be a complete shock and probably cause him a whole breakdown #meanwhile Niffty would either not care or just be excited to finally meet her dad #hazbin angel dust #angel dust hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel angel dust #hazbin niffty #niffty hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel niffty

Observations on ep 10:

(I'm sure that music was used in BBS...)

Redemption!

I've never really understood that arm/handholding thing that bl characters do...I've never questioned it before but the lingering camera shots on Top and Mew here has made me want to now...I think it bothers me. I find it odd from a body language perspective. Is it a cultural thing? I've never done it to someone or had it done to me - any thoughts from anyone else?

Oh and I find hugs where one person leaves their arms hanging are always awkward. If someone didn't put their arms around me I would break that hug so fast. I don't know how these characters stay hugging someone who doesn't hug them back. *shudders*

MOND!!

I've never heard those bass notes before the opening credits music kicks in! I'm sure it's just been silent before... *runs away to check* Oh, they've always been there but it's definitely louder on ep 10 than ep 1 - I've obviously had my volume too low to hear it before now.

"To solve the problem you must first admit there is one". And "I don't want to sing at your funeral". Sand slapping some truths on the table.

Why do I get the feeling that Boeing is a shit-stirrer?!

Now that it's come to mind, I can't stop thinking about Papang and Poppy together. Sorry Mark (and Pepper) but I'm rooting for a different ship now.

*incoherent screaming* I just love Khaotung as an actor!!

Oh Atom 😂 smh

I feel sorry for Boston tbh.

I somehow knew Mew was going to push Top in the pool. It's what I would have done. 😂 (But also, more bbs music).

Ooops, accidentally liking Boeing's photo. We've all been there Mew, we've all been there 😂

Yeah, Boeing wasn't 'stolen' from Sand by Top. He's a minx who likes to flirt and shit-stir and get around.

(Have I seen that stripy vest in MSP?)

Is that jealous Boston activated?! Me thinks they're not talking about phones and phone cases... OMG I love these two.

Boeing: 'be with someone who won't cheat on you'. Uh Mew...that is not Boeing. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

ANOTHER KISSING PAIR @ranchthoughts!! (I know you know but I need to shout at you anyway)

THAT'S THE DON'T SAY NO HOUSE @colourme-feral!! The 'holy guacamole' house!

Oh nooooooooo Ray's dad paid Sand to encourage Ray to go to rehab. Now Ray knows and it's going to deter him from going. Noooooooooo.

Oh wow. Oh....... Wow. Just wow. Khaotung and First. I just... WOW. But also, it's Ray's turn to slap some truths in Sand's face.

Oooo I don't trust Mew. I think Boeing got to him.

I do like Mond playing evil though.

Oh, ohhhhhhhhhh Boeing is vindictive. I want to feel sorry for Top but...I need more of their backstory first...and Top's motivations for being with Mew...so, the jury's out for now.

Neo does 'kicked puppy' really well.

Oh Mark is incredible. He does that switch from cocky to vulnerable so well.

Just, *takes a deep breath*, THIS SHOW IS SO FRICKING GOOOOOOOOD *incoherent screaming*

See my other post for an serious in-depth meta essay on this ep.

#only friends #only friends the series #ofts #ofts ep 10 #this was a STELLAR ep #S T E L L A R #all the actors were amazing #but khaotung is just...fuuuuuucking incredible #than you jojo #thank you so much for crafting this series for us to see what these actors can do #now do the same for some badass women #please and thank you

Surprised actually there’s no body-swap fic in PB fandom.

#Not necessarily men into women’s bodies but even like #Tommy wakes up as Alfie and vice versa and the things they do to each other’s businesses and money (and brothers ) is obscene #Alfie in Tommy’s body would absolutely fuck with Arthur in the worst possible way including outright gaslighting #But if we did go gender swap Arthur and Linda swapping bodies would be stellar #Arthur in Linda’s body ends up high on the streets being gang fucked by many men on purpose #Linda in Arthur’s body decides to test theories and keeps cornering Tommy in strange and discomforting ways #Even Grace into Tommys body and vice versa and the plan they subsequently put together for Campbell #or Tommy into Campbell’s body…Tommy humiliating self-as-Cambl to destroy Campbell’s reputation/status and Campbell trapped in t Family Cage

someone come talk to me about The Ultimatum: Queer Love I’m so interested and invested in this show

#let me start out by saying this show is INSANE but that’s what makes it so INTERESTING #I have so many thoughts about this and what it means to have a dating show with contestants exclusively made up of queer women #I will say tho that my auADHD short attention span combined with slightly less than stellar social interpretation skills is making this show #difficult to follow LMAOO #shut up fae #the ultimatum queer love

Bi Woman/Bi Sapphic Identities

Lunar Bisexual Sapphic (Fem Bisexual Sapphic)

Solar Bisexual Sapphic (Masc Bisexual Sapphic)

Stellar Bisexual Sapphic (Mascfem Bisexual Sapphic)

These are terms and flags to describe feminine, masculine, and masculine-feminine bi women/bi sapphics that aren't the lesbian terms butch and femme. I also couldn't find a term for what I experienced (both masculinity and femininity/fluctuating between the two) so I decided to create my own!

What I find so funny and satisfying about this show so far is that a lot of these slimmer built athletic types keep underestimating the agility of a lot of the people with bigger builds, especially those with round bellies and protective fat layers, only to get themselves twisted up like human pretzels or fucking flung about like house flies with a single hand LMAO

#like once again fat does not automatically mean slow or low endurance lmao #and even if that is the case with some of these guys a lot of them knew those weaknesses soo well #that they had a stellar game plan to avoid possible upsets on their end #theyre much better strategists #only kind of hot 'slimmer' build dude getting my hype is absolutely yun sung bin #that dude has a like insanely silent competitive spirit just like bursting out of every pour its so hot soskansks #every person thats been an egotistical clown got sent him so fast in the 1 on 1s for a reason... #except that mma guy god i wanna see him goooo #that fucker has 0 respect for anybody but especially the women and was warned more than once about his knee fuck that guy

wow thank you so much

#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :') #also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :( #it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing. #it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass #yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya. #honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that #(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo) #and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving #~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine #also softcore queerbaiting. #like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights #okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm #i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest. #like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop #mostly from soloists or solo work from band members #moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman. #brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze #but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be. #also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity. #one mroe day! that one! #so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons. #loftwinglullaby rambles #kpop

"It's time. It's 2023. We won the damn Olympics."

Janine Beckie.

It’s true. They fucking won the Olympics. And they could very well be World Cup Champions in the Fall, but it seems Canada Soccer is doing all it can to undermine the players and hinder that goal. That’s a disgrace in itself.

But threatening legal action against the CANWNT because they protest for fairness, for equal treatment, for funding they absolutely deserve; it is just appalling. Forcing the players back onto the pitch. There is no other place they would rather be, so if they strike, the Federation should listen.

#It's revolting #to see how little money is allotted to professional women's sports in Canada... #and on the other hand you have the results these teams produce #stellar performances like the Football Final in Tokyo... #It's just unfair #and very very disheartening #I support them ALL THE WAY #Janine Beckie #Quote #CANWNT #Canadian Footballer #Canadian Football Player #Canadian Soccer Player #Canadian Football #Canadian Soccer #Canada Women's National Soccer Team #Canadian Sports #Canada Chronicles
