So funny how y'all keep saying you want more rights for actors and for them to have more say in what they're doing etc etc until it comes to Jenna Ortega or Rachel Ziegler or any other strong, optionated young female actress.
It's "fuck Disney" until Rachel Ziegler starts sharing her opinion on Snow White then suddenly she's "lucky to even be casted by Disney" and "disparaging a classic story". Are y'all really that attached to a 70yr old movie or do you hate that it's a young woman who's talking about it?
It's "actors should have more say in what they're doing" until Jenna Ortega critiques the script written for her and questions the characterization of her role then it's "she should know her place and shut up, how dare any actress talk to the director like that"
I know it might make you a little uncomfy to see young women being so outwardly opinionated and strong but it's ok bud, it's normal for women to have opinions, you're just a big baby who's scared of strong women

Okay so my Wonka autism is back on the stove yall it never REALLY left ofc but now wilder/timothee Wonka has me in his grapple too! I saw this coming from wilder Wonka but I was skeptical about timothee’s! I was very pleasantly surprised and now I’m like. REALLY STUPIDLY IN LOVE OR WHATEVA 👉👈💖💖💖
Anyways. I’m probably gonna have two separate canons for him despite him being the same Wonka. The personality diff/age diff is just very different so I want to play around with the idea of two separate ones!
Oh, and do expect some drawings for sure 👉👉✨

I've been in my feelings about Jo and Aoki's last interactions for a bit...
Because that whole scene is textbook verbal abuse, right... Aoki is very clearly trying to tear Jo's self-esteem and bolster his own, establish control, all that, and Jo just has to stand there meekly and take it. All because Jo's disobeyed one too many times and Aoki needs someone he knows he can control to head the Tokyo Omi Alliance.
Like Jo says he's never disobeyed Aoki except in that one instance, but not handling things himself at Otohime Land was very much his way of giving Ichi an out indirectly, and I feel like Aoki was beginning to catch on based on his comments about Jo neglecting the situation and acting strangely. Directly refusing his orders just confirmed his suspicions.
It's kind of lost among all the bombshells dropped in Chapter 13, but Jo's hesitance to kill anyone who's important to Arakawa is a big deal to me. It's not like he had any personal ties to Hoshino or any investment in maintaining the balance of the Ijin Three whatsoever; he went to those lengths to set himself up to be stopped because Arakawa wouldn't want Hoshino to die and that was it.
To return to the scene, I think it's also a great demonstration of Aoki's "those who use and those who get used" mentality. This next thing is... pretty badly mistranslated, at least in the subs, so it was lost on me for a while. But before the Lost Puppy line, the specific way Aoki chooses to downplay Jo's merit is by telling him he only got to his position because everyone was so sensitive to his (Aoki's) feelings and could tell he favored Jo, following him around like a lost puppy being precisely why Aoki favored him.
I don't think that was all there was to it, of course. Dude was five and deliberately brings Jo wherever he goes to this day by choice. It's kind of like those guys who get rejected once and start going on tirades about how "she should've been grateful, she was ugly anyway." But that's what Aoki wants to portray--you only had it that good because of me, and I can take it away whenever I want. Whenever you're no longer of use. Anything to preserve his status as the user and Jo's as the used.
Jo's crossed the line at this point. He is no longer of use. He does kind of get into it so that takes the edge off my frustration with The English Language, but from this point onward, he believes Aoki sees him as a "bullet"--a hitman only sent on suicide missions. So despite everything he's done for him, despite being "the favorite," he knows full well Aoki's trying to kill him before Aoki even gives Ishioda the order. And... he accepts it.
So TO GO FROM THAT to having to reconcile in prison would've been so much powerful than what the ending was trying to do. Having to come to terms with the fact you killed one of the only people who saw you for who you were and truly cared about you, were going to kill the other two, and have abused all three from the moment you realized you had power over them. And for Jo, going through everything he went through because of Aoki and loving him without question anyway... Getting to express that in some small way... I need to lie down...
ALSO tattoo essay... later... maybe tomorrow... I mainly just feel like I sound extremely mean about rggtattoos' take😭😭😭but the show must go on
YEAH NO THAT'S IT ALL FAX NO PRINTER NO EXTRA NOTES NECESSARY
It'd be the fact that Aoki'd have no choice but to confront those decisions he made and those things he wanted to happen. he'd made a social circle for himself where people predominantly liked him for the power and influence he had and totally turned his back on the people who- awfully ironically as he wanted- loved him for him
He'd already smoothed things over with Ichi, so- by his own hand- all that was left was Jo, the person he'd taken for granted the most next to Arakawa and who he planned to have executed alongside him. Jo's got every right to not forgive Aoki and to push him away, let each other rot in prison ignoring each other. So it's the worst feeling when Jo doesn't do that- its impossible for me not to imagine Jo wondering about what happened for Aoki to get so banged up if he's brought into prison the same night, and making sure Aoki's okay despite it.
Whereas Ichi was more upfront about his love and even frustrated about it ('frustrated' in that 'how could Aoki be so blind not to see how much care there is for him from us'), the breaking part about Jo is that he's forced himself to be so careful about showing his affection. Ichi's love was borderline irritating for how apparent it was: Jo's could have easily been written off or ignored.
All of that said, prison is where Aoki would be forced to realize that Jo does love him like Ichi said he does; there's no reason to keep up appearance or kiss up anymore- Aoki doesn't have any use to Jo anymore (if Aoki chose to interpret Jo's loyalties as a stepping stone to promote himself), and there's certainly no where else to run. It's probably that dawning moment that's gotta be so. Oh God What The Fuck. Like it's a sobering moment for him to go 'What have I been doing this whole time/what have I done to everyone', as corny as it sounds

Ok I need to talk about these two scenes in Rear Window because I find this absolutely hilarious.
This scene is genuinely incredibly tense and threatening. For those who're unaware, the entire plot of this movie is that a guy who's stuck in a wheelchair thinks one of his neighbors murdered his wife, so he spends the whole movie trying to prove it. In this scene near the end, Lisa gets caught stealing evidence from the murder. This obviously creates a lot of tension, but then you realize that Lisa got the ring that they needed. The audience gets a breath of relief because of this, but then the murderer realizes what's happening and just straight up turns to start at you. And we've been looking through the main character's eyes in these POV shots a lot throughout the movie, so when he turns around it feels like he's staring at not just the main character, but you as well and it just gives you this feeling of "oh we fucked up." It's an absolutely fantastic scene.
And then it's followed up not even two minutes later by this.
First, the people running out of the houses are sped up for no fuckin reason; it looks so comical.
And then the murderer falling for the flash EVERY SINGLE TIME.
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES.
There was so much tension because you've got a guy who murdered his wife who's now going after a guy in a wheelchair who physically can't leave his apartment or have a decent ability to fight back
But then it's literally just Perry Mason falling for the same trick like 6 times. 10/10
