reminder that if you're not watching Crayon Shin-chan then you are living a hollow and empty life. this is not edited. this ripped straight from the movie (Movie 8: Jungle That Invites the Storm, highly recommend for fellow Masaaki Yuasa lovers)

if you need further convincing: these monkeys run an animation sweatshop

#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now #the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes #they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most #prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end #Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures #in that the characters have similar roles in both movies #i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything #RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa #e #i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit #o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!! #but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t #be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning #if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes #iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is #gonna age horribly can we maybe not' #ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender #BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing #so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time #if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen #i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!' #each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching #22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece #in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in #so. thus concludes my spiel #csc #vid

York train station, a cold November Sunday 2023

Taken on Rollei 35S on Ilford HP5 film

#I got my first roll of black and white film back!! it was fun but I’m not used to thinking in black and white. if that makes sense. #also I love colour so much but I’m really thrilled with b+w and I’m excited to use it more #photography #my photgraphy #rollei35 #photographers on tumblr #<- I feel weird using that tag but. oh well. now the requisite tags are out the way let me carry on my ramble #again I’m not sure if I got the exposure right because once again I was just going by vibes #which is fine when it’s brilliantly sunny but it was pretty overcast when I took these #and it was freezing. so no way was I fumbling around with my camera and my phone when I couldn’t feel my fingers #I love taking pictures so much guys #very fun #might post more we shall see #I won’t spam you or inundate you #maybe :) #oh my god I think tumblr has killed the quality </3 #okay might repost when I’m home #don’t judge me pls

mind plagued with reg/peter for some reason

#i just think they’re neat #effortlessly cool looking peter who’s honestly just a nervous wreck around pretty people #reg being pretty people #peters unbelievably bitchy boyfriend #peter is a quiet person. likes his solitude and keeps to his interests #interests: being outdoors books cooking gaming collecting film posters #reg is his chatty annoying boyfriend who wont ever shut up #peter has been bewitched body and soul by reg talking for 1h non stop on their first date because peter asked something like: #’what do you do’ and now reg is on an entire rant about it #peter is very charmed #reg has been bewitched body and soul by peters autistic swag and lowkey demeaor #he likes being invited to peters solitude #peter likes having him there #he likes breaking out of his habit and independence and inviting reg into his routine #they do picnic dates #and they go shopping #reg is rude to everyone but peter <3 #peter adores him and how unhinged he is #slutty twink reg and his effortlessly hot fat hipster boyfriend idk what to tell you #peter is also a stoner btw

I'm going insane my notes are full of people responding to the communes post going like "this is why we need a state to prevent abuse"

HOW'S THAT STATE-PREVENTING-ABUSE THING GOING? PRETTY GREAT I DON'T THINK.

seriously this is what gets my fucking back up about people in opposition to anti-statism or anti-carceralism they're always like 'oh can you propose a way to 100% prevent abuse or violence' and it's like. Insert I, Robot gif here. Can you?

like I'm not complaining about the lack of attention to safeguarding and justice in anarchist communities because anarchism is particularly bad at it! I'm complaining about it because tackling the issue requires acknowledging that it does exist in every community we try to build and that we have to speak up and deal with it proactively.

abuse happens in anarchist spaces, in socialist spaces, in marxist-leninist-maoist spaces, in capitalist spaces, in religious fundamentalist spaces, in feudalism, in whatever fucking system of authorities you wanna name. the question is how we deal with it and anarchism is deeply imperfect in that but so is every other system I've seen and anarchism is pointing at the better goal, I think - a method of community accountability which focuses on harm reduction, desystematising, and healing rather than on punishment, revenge or cycles of violence.

we're not there yet and we will probably never build a 100% foolproof system where abuse and interpersonal harm never occur. but frankly neither will any other system, human interactions are complicated and messy and sometimes there will be shitshows - our priorities are to reduce the number, severity, fallout and normalisation of those shitshows and figure out ways to prevent, react and support healing.

like here's one key fucking thing ok. I have found the way that anarchist groups I've been in have handled abuse allegations really traumatic and overwhelming and triggering. but that's largely been because I have some faith in the approach and it hurts a lot more to fuck up when you have hope.

but you are fooling your damn selves if you think going through the police or the state is less traumatic and overwhelming tbh. reporting and going through the court system is notoriously retraumatising and miserable for survivors, even when it's done with empathy and support. it also Does Not Work. punitive justice actively intensifies cycles of abuse and trauma.

obviously like. the main problem in these notes is that inexplicably people reblogging my post seem to believe the core thesis of anarchism is sunshine, rainbows and the milk of human kindness not like. hard graft to build tailored systems to meet community need. and you are wrong about that. anarchism has never been about 'building a community of morally pure sweethearts who wouldn't hurt a fly' it's about taking responsibility yourself, as an individual, for the wellbeing of your community, and working together collectively to identify what needs to change and what systems would create that change.

but the secondary problem is a lack of fucking imagination. people act as if an idea for change not being utterly bulletproof is a reason to throw the whole concept away, as if existing systems are less imperfect. babies, bathwater, my guys.

If I say 'this part of how we're organising is likely to present the risk of abuse' that doesn't mean 'we should stop our whole approach to organising' it means 'we should take stock of why that risk is there and figure out how to adapt to manage it.' Criticising your ideas and approaches is a vital part of building a better version of them and it's really frustrating to have any critical appraisal met with a barrage of SEE THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD FULLY ABANDON THIS IDEA FOREVER

like fuck man how are you planning to build a better system if you can't iterate ideas, criticise, finetune, adapt, reiterate, problematise and adjust, and talk about what the fail points might be? how are you planning to build a better world if you reject any attempt to suggest a replacement for the Totally Fucked Hellworld system unless it has already ironed out every flaw before being tried?

the reason I am talking about the cracks in a lot of anarchist ideas where abuse comes in is because I want anarchist ideas to work. I think they're good ideas. (not communes I don't think communes are good ideas I have been clear on this). I want a better, happier, less harm-filled, less abusive, more just world and I think the anarchist vision has the most elements to get us there so I want those elements to work, which means I want to identify what comes packaged in with those ideas that might be counterproductive. so we can do better. so that we can use the good ideas and dump out the elements that are likely to cause harm. you know. like how thinking works.

#red said #totally unrelated but i did also recently watch i robot for the first time #i was unprepared for the level of slappitude #that film is GREAT #it's not a direct asimov adaptation but i think it does a great job with the spirit of Asimov #which is: use the 3 laws to create a locked room mystery and then go ham on social commentary #also they didn't make Susan Calvin a love interest as i had feared i think she's honestly pretty close to Asimov's character #with. this surprised me. probably less sexism?? cause i love book Calvin but she's very defined in opposition to Asimov's ideas about women #anyway these tags are nothing to do with this post about anarchism i just liked i robot

"Hey Fred how was the mystery convention" "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT"

or: Chomps always gets his man

#blah #this is SOOOOOOOO rough but like i know me. if we made it pretty or even like borderline legible it would never get done #anyways sorry if the 80 million filters makes this look weird my camera wasnt picking up the pencil well #and i could rapidly feel myself losing motivation like an incoming crash #and idk where my good pens are #ANYWAYS this was supposed to be funny and about how i love chomps but i got distracted drawing the gang all cute and sleepy on the couch #so now im just thinking about them (awwwwwwwwwwwwww) #scooby doo #swishy's scooby sketches #swishy's scooby comics #fred jones #also its very important to me that you know that velma goes and talks to fred and brings him a cup of water and they lie down on the couch #together with everyone #and then of course the next morning fred also wakes up sick #but they take care of him and spend the next 3 days watching movies #(a fair amount of vincents horror films included) #velma dinkley #not gonna tag the rest bc they dont talk

WHY IS UNTIL DAWN GETTING A MOVIE????

#to make very clear - i love until dawn despite its flaws #but it does not need to be turned into a movie #i honestly don't know how they're going to turn a 5 to 10 hour game that's pretty much already a movie into a maximum 3 hour film #but i guess they're going to

[skrunksthatwunk]

ok im back I actually DID go watch the rgg prologue short film. i am changed

#if you want the literal only yuko nishikiyama content out there uh. this is your chance #it was very cute i liked it a lot #think i might redraw some scenes from it :3 but i gotta do the bowling thing first #anyway i literally love childhood whimsy so much #and it does a good job contrasting that with. y'know. being orphaned due to organized crime violence. and so on #the exec director was the same as the rgg movie that came out the following year (takashi miike) but it's a way more grounded film #i wish i knew exactly what was added for kiwami in terms of cutscenes bc i feel like this would have an interesting relationship w that #rgg #like a dragon prologue #it's so cool being part of a fandom with so much lore like how is no one talking about this #anyway if you have 40ish minutes it's a pretty good time 👍 #you will probably not be changed by it significantly but all experiences change you a little. so #anyway it's wild seeing how few views this has compared to the 2007 movie #it's also wild seeing ppl say it's better. listen LISTEN. rgg2007 is CAMP PERFECTION. IT'S A GOOD TIME. im right #anyway

very autistic media day

#watched im a virgo and some of pushing daisies #both incredibly autistic #and with the most disparate opinions on policing possible. lmao #im a virgo was good. interesting idea pretty well played out and clearly well considered #the metaphors were very cleanly drawn in a way that didnt feel heavy handed. #it is the 4th piece of media championing a young black person living the black experience in america that does a lot of hand holding about #systemic oppression that has come and come to my attention in the past 4 or so years. 3 of them coming out in the last 2 #this one beat out wendall and wilde for the title of heaviest handed #it had a scene at the end in which the main antagonist had systemic oppression explained to him and he just. quit being evil after that. ig #implying that education will lead to action because no one wants to be evil. which is a choice. maybe im misinterpreting #but i think it was better executed than that film. certainly more fun to watch #i would recommend it! and i would like to see what the creators make in the future #when i say 'black american experience' i would like 2 emphasise that i know there is no singular experience nor is it an experience exclusi #to either black people or american people. but the genre is by and about people who want to highlight that experience #the others in the genre are they cloned tyrone and sorry to bother you. obviously. #ik live named peele's 'us' in correlation with this genre before but i have to kick it out because its too much of its own thing(compliment

trying to recommend perth/chimon shows is so hard because perth is barely in anything and half the shows chimon is in are... Mediocre...........

#gaiaxyposting #well theres also stuff i enjoyed but i can NOT recommend blacklist in good faith like that show is NOT good #im very opinionated about some of them though and i never miss an opportunity to talk about perthchimon <3_<3 #im watching put your head on my shoulder (thai adaptation) for chimon right now too #i only have my coach to watch then ive pretty much cleared every perth series/film i can find #(i would watch tell the world i love you but there isnt a digital release. same with my precious)

thinking about how, out of all my hyperfixations, threads 1984 somehow wasn't even the worst contributor to my mental health?

#i'm ngl it might have to be the onceler. or south park in the first phase when i was 17 #not including any of the 6000 hyperfixation revivals it's had since then #idk if the onceler counts bc while i was actually obsessed with him i was happy but based on how depressed i got when the obsession ended #probably means i wasn't doing well in the first place lol #actually everywhere at the end of time had a pretty awful effect on my life #but somehow threads is higher up on the scale #like yeah the realistically bleak portrayal of the after effects of nuclear war actually had a positive effect on my mood #i mean it Very Much Did ruin my life for a month but after that I was Fine 😄 mostly #and now it barely bothers me at all. it's my comfort film............ not really but it's a film i can easily just put on whenever i want #okay wait i'm really interested in the difference between my responses to the two Traumatic Medias of my life #bc it's been almost 2 years since I listened to eateot I still cannot listen to the last 6 minutes #but threads crosses my mind and i'm like ''oh look! it's my friend threads (1984)! I wonder what these thoughts will be about <3'' #and the thoughts are about like. radiation poisoning or something #idk what i'm on about anymore #anyway #ramble

somewhat pleased to announce that in case someone wanted to know, and i really don't see why they wouldn't, the cameras that atz use in the cawaii men photoshoots are

fujifilm simple ace p&s camera (for taking photos), and

most probably? pentax spotmatic (the one hj, sh and jh pose with)

#YOUNG PEOPLE NOWADAYS!!! they're wasting film like pros :''') #shrimp thoughts #actually this is terribly artificial behaviour. i was not organically possessed by the urge to check what kinda camera are they posing with #but i DID think it would be funny if i did and then acted like it's a completely normal thing to do. hence. #i should learn up on hj's photography... he did have an exhibit a while ago after all #i'm curious about the pics the guys took with the fuji cameras! what % of them was unsalvageable lol #i know it was probably cold/late/both outside and that they were on a schedule but yknow what they say #or maybe they don't. but anyway the person who picked up THING three seconds ago acts like they know everything there is to know about #THING. and so. as this very person. i'd like to say the pics would probably be better if they could take them outside? you can see #the p&s all have flash but still! oh also that reminds me of my minor gripe w/ atz photoshoots namely. they're All Indoors #well not ALL all but sooo many of them are and it pains me because i love outdoorsy photoshoots #like the one in the diary ver of fever 3 or the second part of the fever epilogue diary ver #...and fever 2 diary ver too. wait are diary versions just More outdoorsy/less Studio Photography? HM #but anyway! i just like when models can interact/blend in with their surroundings. it's always much more interesting when there's something #Else going on in the photo than just one color background/the walls of a room. this is why i loved l**na's predebut album photoshoots becau #*because each was in a different location! several different locations even! sometimes you'd even get a photo that has no people in it #simply because the surroundings are so pretty! #oooh now that i think about it d-day is like that too. yoongi heard me grumbling abt how much i hate those empty pages in bt/s albums #and went Not On My Watch lol #anyway. sorry i'm rambling for no reason gkhsfgkjfsf

hot take but people who shit on the avatar movies on tumblr are so funny like “there’s no plot it’s boooooriiing” maybe take your head out of your scenario-brain-based ass and recognize they are probably the most impactful movies of the last decade idk ?

#i know i love scenario too and getting out of them i was like the plot isn't that greaaat #but get that #the plot is not all that matters in cinema #omg i know mindblowing right #and stop comparing it to marvel for fuck's sakes #cameron litteraly invented new ways to do cinemas to produces his movies #yeah it's expensive but it paved the way to a lot of movie experiences after that #but there are litterally 0 fanfictions on them !!!!!! #I KNOW MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S A VISUAL EXPERIENCE YOU DICKHEAD #sorry i'm very pissed about this shit because i was like that and then i saw the light #oh i don't remember it and i'm pretty sure nobody remembers it #well except maybe for about everyone in the film industry who were blown away by it #and who produce the movies you think actually are impactful #idk just an hypothesis #wait no it's not because I actually studied cinema YOU DICKHEADS #also the plot is cool you just have to think about it for more than 3 seconds #just a movie about colonialism and the effects of while people being selfish as fuck #but y'know #too simple for the great hive tumblr mind apparently
