I think you are all sleeping on Katya and Sofia and the cigarette lighting scene 

NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone

im sorry, we turned your boyfriend into a mole. yeah and all of tumblr‘s interested in him now. sorry

update:

ao3 link. please vote for mole scene in most underrated goncharov scene poll

tumblr atm:

"please tell me the omegaverse show is another joke like the thai goncharov remake" my brother in christ the "goncharov remake" was real too

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

[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]

This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.

Walking to get lunch and stopped dead in my tracks upon seeing this posted on a garage

Goncharov has breached containment and none of us are safe

Okay so eliminating goncharov from the competition bc its unmatched... (I did say i would abuse my ability to make polls)

it's the way to ME that sofia is just so emblematic of everything in 2022 that a lesbian should never be. she is scheming. she is obsessive. she tries to lure katya away from her good christian het relationship into a world of sin. in the context of the 1973 film, she is a perfect example of the oversexualized clutching-at-pearls lesbophobia of the time. but rewatching it now in 2022, i cant help but sympathize with her. after surviving the orphanage fire, the streets, clawing her way up to find even a scrap of beauty, of love, of tenderness...wouldnt you be obsessed with it too? wouldnt you do anything to keep it with you? wouldnt you want to eat it too? anyways sofia apologist now and forever, i LOVE problematic lesbian rep <333

okay, because i saw a poll earlier and i thought the choices weren't clear enough and also the answers i saw to it annoyed me and also i'm curious:

NOTES:

I am including having watched gameplay of a game and not having played it as having watched the source material

In this context if you are writing fic/making art and you are not being commissioned to do so. This is purely for funsies

You getting into something because you saw a post/gifset/video about it and then watched the source material does not count. That's just how you get into new things.

Goncharov does not count because it's not real. I'll break kayfabe here I don't care.

i see i see. goncharov porn. is what you’re saying

Anybody remember that one time they tried to make BIONICLE into a shonen manga/anime

Pretty sure it's lost media now since you'd think it'd show up on wikipedia or tvtropes or something but I guess it's just that obscure

Ah well

Practising Goncharov Theme by @caramiaaddio on violin bc I thought it would add an extra layer of haunting…ness (is that a word?)

Here’s the excerpt I’m playing in the video:

Despite it being in a fuck off key for violin it is a really beautiful piece and it’s absolutely worth the trouble of practising in second position (world’s most hated position) and I’m HOPING 🤞 I can record and (maybe) post a full cover of it someday

i love how the one thing i never saw one consistent goncharov post on was what the fuck was going on between ice pick joe and mario.what are they? just work together? lovers? friends with benefits? subtly homoerotic? secretly planning to betray each other? besties? dont even interact? who knows.literally nobody apparently
