Issey drama anon here, please tell us about Romance Doll because I have not heard anything about it

also, have you heard of Quartet? I've seen like 50 gifsets from it and it seems legit funny as hell

UMMM WELL- I'll put my thoughts on Romance Doll under a break at the end because the movie is pretty nsfw and weird and yeah...

Quartet is on my list! I'm definitely going to watch it at some point, but I also really wanna watch Miracles! Honestly that one has been the most interesting to me from the beginning but my adhd is just causing me to watch whatever's convenient first, not the ONE IVE REALLY WANTED TO WATCH THIS WHOLE TIME. I still have to finish Koisenu Futari too... I stopped that one cuz I was watching it with someone and we had a long period of time where we couldn't watch it. And then also it's just VERY HEAVY as a person who happens to be demi who has gone through periods of feeling like I could be aroace in the past. It's so realistic and deals with the painful things as well as the funny things and I am scared to finish it bc I KNOW THERES MORE HEAVY SHIT TO COME but it's an amazing show AND I DO WANT TO FINISH THAT ONE TOO.

And on a completely polar opposite note: ROMANCE DOLL, LMAO

Ok so, this movie is very much one of those WEIRDLY REALISTIC stories where all the characters are so real and flawed and HUGE MISTAKES ARE MADE by characters and it's just such a wild ride. You probably haven't heard about it because its FUCKING WACK.

Without giving too much away in case you wanna watch it (netflix dropped it last monday, which is actually why I ended up watching it over the weekend at all, but it's still available to rent on amazon 🙄) Issey plays Tetsuo, an unemployed art college grad who is desperate for a job. His friend gave him a tip about this sketchy job opening but told him literally nothing else about it. He shows up and this old woman greets him and shows him around and he's a bit shocked to find out it's a shop that makes SILICONE SEX DOLLS. The woman is like "your friend didn't tell you that???" And Tetsuo was like "he literally just said there was a job here-" and she laughs and says "Some friend he is then!" Honestly I loved the old lady she's great, I wish I could remember her name I'm too lazy to go look it up rn.

Anyway so yeah, he takes the job even though the interview was super awkward and there's this gross pervy old guy who works there and he doesn't really care about the subject matter he just needs money (mood)

One thing and another happens (and a lot of me wanting to slap the old man into next tuesday, seriously he's the worst) and a little bit later Tetsuo meets the love of his life through some bullshit connection to his job, and they end up getting married some time after, but she doesn't know what he does for a living and ITS ALL VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN WHY HE KEEPS THAT FROM HER without spoiling things but just- the movie is wack, I really didn't like it in the beginning but it pulls a complete 180 and ends up being this weirdly emotional and AT TIMES, a holesome wholesome slice of life movie??

Don't get me wrong it doesn't sugarcoat things like objectification of women and there's some degree of realistic portrayal of that bc of the whole Tetsuo working at a sex doll shop thing, it is very true to life- how men can be gross even if they aren't going so far as assaulting anyone. It doesn't excuse it either it just presents it as it is, which is good I think. But then there are OTHER moments where the movie is very sex positive- so its a wild fucking trip tbh. Definitely don't watch it if you have sensitivities to the things I mentioned above bc bro omg the first half almost had me like "yeah I can't watch this" a couple times jfc.

BASICALLY by the end of the movie the message is that communication and being open with people you love (and not getting bogged down with anxiety and guilt) is important, because on top of not being fair to the people who are important to you, hiding things from them can eat you up inside and make you act irrationally and hurt them even more whether you realize it or not. And also, you never know how someone will feel about the things you don't want to tell them. Something that could be huge to you could be no big deal to another.

Its just a very interesting movie. I don't know if I'd recommend it, theres some NUCLEAR SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT CRINGE MOMENTS like oh my god i wanted to die- and like I said above, there's lots of intense subject matter and some not so pretty moments that a lot of people may want to avoid. Id for sure check one of those sites that gives content warnings before watching bc hoo boy...

But all that aside, once again Issey is an incredible actor and his range is apparent in this movie. I saw some like- borderline SLAPSTICK physical comedy moments that had me so surprised bc he did them so well but its so new and different from anything else ive watched him star in. Dude is just unstoppable tbh. He HAS 👏 THE 👏 RANGE!! 👏

Also you get to see him naked a lot. So there's that!

#LMFAO GOD #its a long post and read at your own risk #rai replies #anon #takahashi issei #sorry to clog the tag with my thoughts I just want issey anon to be able to find it #romance doll #collecting Issey characters with different sexualities like infinity stones lmfao #finally with this movie we have the straight guy

What is your favorite subject? ummm hard to say; I enjoy playing music, but I kinda like the rigor of biology and math, so I guess it kinda depends on what mood I’m in.

What is your most hated subject? Phys ed, ew

(I don’t mind self mediated exercise though)

The subject you struggle the most with? huh, according to my grades it’s music. I think it’s partly because music is veeeryyy based off of skill.

Easiest subject for you? evidently chemistry lmao

What kind of learner are you? extremely visual - diagrams are a must in my notes, or else my eyes glaze over from looking at a block of text

What motivates you to study and get good grades? weeeelllll for one I’m quite competitive, especially amongst my super intelligent friends. Being around them and constantly in a ready-to-study environment really pushes a person. plus, after a crappy freshman year and seeing how bad my marks were, I realized that I really had to get my game up, and ever since then I’ve gotten into the “intense student” habit... if that makes sense?

Best study tip? hmm I’m not sure if I have helpful tips that would actually be useful to people (especially since my study habits are not the best tbh). Although I’d say that, when studying, surround yourself in materials (and like-minded people, if in a group). Surrounding yourself in references, textbooks, and stationery can pump you up into studying, and if there are people doing other things around you, it probably would be really hard to focus.

Do you like the school you go to? It’s kinda funny because my school has a reputation of having more sketchy people, but I’m so surrounded by intense and amazing people that I’ve never really seen that side. Plus there are some programs there that are irreplaceable. (cough latin cough music)

Your favorite study essentials? my muji pens probably. also my phone for listening to music.

What do you use for making notes? rough copy: random lined paper or GOOS paper; it doesn’t matter since i’ll end up throwing them away

good copy: spiral bound notebook + pen + pencil crayon for diagrams, OR laptop (bio)

blank printer paper + pen (math and chemistry)

Are you happy with your current grades? Decently happy, but I’d definitely like to see them get better. It’s a fight for every percent above 90% rip

Worst feature about you when it comes to studying? procrastinating. also, i kinda sit there without doing anything when i’m trying to figure out what to do next... for like several minutes.

Best study snack? whatever’s okay to eat at home haha, I’m open minded when it comes to food

What does your handwriting look like and are you happy with it? yup definitely pretty happy with my handwriting; it’s script for good copy notes, and cursive for rough

When do you graduate?

from high school: this year ahhhh (June 2017)
