random ass text post from a lurker account lol

honestly

the degree to which we exonerate artistic laborers (as opposed to artistic bosses) for trying to leverage copyright against fanworks by trying to aggressively claim ownership over their art and exhibit mass offense at the idea of fans using their art in a transformative, non-commercial manner

is baffling

anti-fandom sentiments are bad whether they come from laborers or bosses transformative fanworks are so central to the creativity of non-mainstream (especially marginalized) artists and it continually flares me up whenever people try to shut down transformative fanworks under any justification

I want a robot to own me as their human pet♡ wouldn't that be so cute~

Feeding from their big hands, using wires as a leash and collar, them making a name tag just for you and shows who you belong to, all the free use sex they'll do to you, always attached to their hip cause they love you so much and are so obsessed with you, they enjoy seeing you crawl for them and the look in your eyes when their cock comes to play, the sheer enjoyment comes across your face when you suck them so happily~ and have you suck them for hours on end. Calling you a good little human and a good pet. They are so lucky to have such a good human pet for all for them selves. ♡♡

goncharov is actually such a cool thing, not only because of its lore and motifs and its complex character creation, but because it allows people to engage in the tumblr community's favorite hobby, which is lying

You know how you have to click a button to be able to see M, E, and unrated fics on AO3?

Sometimes I think everyone should also have to click a button to acknowledge they understand what the word "archive" means before they can use the site at all

One thing that I think that people forget about Goncharov is that it's not just a critique of mafia movies, but it's also a critique of movies such as A Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo, with their protagonists that fill the role of the Lonely Warrior.

The Lonely Warrior is one of the most exceptionally toxic masculine character archetypes in existence. After all, what does the Lonely Warrior do? He commits violence. He kills. He destroys. That is the entire reason for his existence. And yet, for some reason, the people who made movies like Fistful and Yojimbo expect us to think that the Lonely Warrior is cool, expect us to look up to and idolize the Lonely Warrior. But why? Why would we ever want to do that? Because he's the peak of masculine strength and violence? And yet, in most of those types of films, we never, EVER see the Lonely Warrior happy. He's never having fun. He's never connecting to other people. He's killing, and he's destroying, and never anything else.

Goncharov is aware that he is a Lonely Warrior, and he hates it. (Pity's sake, he's introduced as "the stranger", and Goncharov is obviously a false name, same as with Yojimbo and "Sanjuro".) Maybe he doesn't understand it in a metafictional sense, but he understands it in the context of the universe of the film. Everybody always talks about how many people's Goncharov's killed. They talk about his acts of destruction, about his acts of death. And Goncharov HATES it. He doesn't want to be remembered as someone who only killed and destroyed, but he knows that the society around him - both the mafia and the KGB - only value him as a Lonely Warrior, only value his skills at violence.

We can joke all we want about how Goncharov and Andrey just needed to have gay sex, but that truly is kind of the whole point. Andrey was the first person that Goncharov had ever felt a genuine connection to in his entire life. Andrey was the first person that Goncharov didn't view as someone giving him orders to kill people, as someone to be killed, or as a bystander that might get in the way of killing people. Whether Goncharov's feelings for Andrey were platonic or romantic, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that Goncharov saw in Andrey a way out of the life that he was stuck in, a way out of being the Lonely Warrior, a way out of death and destruction and into happiness, whether as friends or as lovers. Conversely, Andrey saw in Goncharov a way out of the lifestyle, as well - if not permanently, then at least temporarily in the intimate moments that they shared.

But society valued and idolized the Lonely Warrior too much, same as A Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo had idolized their Lonely Warriors. More than that, society *needed* Goncharov to be a Lonely Warrior, and by attempting to connect with Andrey, by attempting to be *happy* for once in his God-forsaken life, Goncharov had disrupted the order of society. He had attempted to step out of his place, had attempted to buck off the role that society had placed on him. And because society would not countenance this rebellion, they handed down capital punishment in retribution for Goncharov's sin of just trying to be a person with friends and family and loves, rather than just a tool of violence and death like Blondie and Sanjuro were.

Obviously there's a million other themes present in the film, but I definitely think that there's a lot of obvious digs at other films like Fistful and Yojimbo in the movie that a lot of people miss because all of the other themes in the film are more obvious and front-and-center.

Absolutely fantastic little horror flick. It uses the nature of found footage to its fullest extent in order to create one of the most terrifyingly claustrophobic experiences since The Descent. Highly recommend it for horror nerds.
