There’s no plausible evidence that Republican voters are opposed to acts of sedition but will begrudgingly tolerate them if that is the only option available. Trump’s Republican competitors had been parroting nearly all of his flamboyantly ridiculous policies, only to be shot down by those very voters. You can offer up a Nikki Haley, but it will go nowhere. You can lob a Ron DeSantis onstage, full of hydraulic fluid and have him mimic the same Trump mannerisms and grievances and demands for violence—not just persecution but bullet-to-the-head violence against immigrants—and they won't bite. They like Trump. They want Trump, and when presented with candidates who are not facing 91 criminal charges, not found to have committed sexual assault, not proven to be a lifelong tax and bank cheat, and not the ratbastard personification of malice, they will not bite. This is a movement premised on ending the government itself if that's what it takes to assuage paranoia about globalist cabals and plotting immigrant hoards.

The GOP is about to officially coalesce around a seditionist for president

yikes

Would Non want this?

This question has been echoing in my head, ever since I made the post about New disregarding what Non might want. To me, that was a really damning moment in the narrative for New, because it puts him in a long line of people who have used Non for their own ends, for their own gain. It shifted his goal from "righteous revenge" to "selfish revenge" and since that put him in line with everyone else who didn't care about Non's agency or his desires, to me it marked him for death.

I've heard a lot of responses to that, including "revenge is always inherently selfish so that doesn't change New's character" and "Non is dead so what he'd want doesn't matter." And I disagree. Because narratively, what Non wants does matter. It's half the point of the show, that Non wanted to stay involved in the movie, didn't want to give up his script, that people pushed him around and framed him and coerced and manipulated him - stripping him of his agency at every turn. Even the people who thought they wanted the best for him (Phee, Jin) pushed what they wanted onto Non.

So even if Non is dead (and I'm not convinced he is), yes his agency and what he'd want matters. The problem is, of course, that we don't know what he might want.

We can speculate. Because of course, Non wrote the script, condemning everyone to die. He brought a knife into the woods, intending to use it to murder Por, Tee, Top, Fluke, and Jin.

But despite this, when push comes to shove, Non backs down. When Jin darts forward to apologize, Non lowers the knife. Despite the fact that Non wrote Jin's death into the script, and crossed out his face along with the others, Non couldn't kill Jin even in the midst of his psychotic break.

Yes yes I know Non didn't know what Jin did to him, but despite that, Non had clearly decided Jin was guilty by association, but he couldn't pull the trigger.

In the further flashbacks, when we see Non working with Tee to repay Uncle Joe, we also see he has a note that he keeps nearby to motivate him. And that note says nothing about revenge. Non simply wants to get out and move on with his life. He also has Tee right there in front of him, and doesn't try to kill him. He hits Tee's chest, but even that is pathetic in comparison to pulling a knife on him before...

So all of that leads me to believe that Non didn't want revenge. He wanted to move on with his life. He didn't have that kind of violence in him. He was a gentle kid at heart, pushed to the breaking point.

But for the sake of argument, let's say Non DOES want revenge. Let's say that he wants the group of friends to die for their crimes. Because he very well might.

I think some people are missing some crucial pieces of information here. Because while Non might want the group to die, I don't think that would extend to Phee.

Non loved Phee. They broke up. And even if Non viewed Phee sleeping with Jin as a betrayal (and he might not, since they broke up AND there's some muddiness there because of Non sleeping with Keng - don't come at me, it's coercion, but the narrative establishes that Phee views it as cheating, so that's why I mention it) - he might not want Phee to die for it!

Non might not want the person he loved to die a bloody death because of his mistakes. Even if he hated Phee for sleeping with Jin. That might very well be too far for the boy who hated feeling like a burden on the people he loves.

But okay, let's assume Non DOES want Phee to die along with the others. He might not want his older brother to be the one doing it.

As I said above, Non hated feeling like a burden. He hated the idea of people inconveniencing themselves because of him. Do you really think he'd like the thought of his older brother throwing everything away, his entire life, and now his future? Non might not want New, the last member of his family, to destroy himself that way. There's no one else to carry out that revenge for Non, but if Non weighed the choice between his brother having a successful future vs revenge...? I'm not sure what he'd choose.

There's a lot of complexities to the question of what Non might or might not want. And while I personally think he wouldn't want revenge, because Non was at his heart a gentle person until he was pushed to the absolute brink... I think there are layers to the revenge that he may or may not want. And I think that desire matters, and it frustrates me that people are once again taking Non's agency out of the story.

#disclaimer that you're totally allowed to want revenge #i don't particularly care if people want everyone to die #I just don't like the narrative that what Non might want doesn't matter #because it DOES #and saying it doesn't just feeds into the narrative of the story #taking his agency away again #taking his choice away again #just another way to victimize him instead of respecting his choice #idk like I said you can want what you want #just don't justify it through Non #dff #dead friend forever #dff the series #non dff #dff spoilers #dff meta #dff analysis #new dff

I'm actually being so fine and chill about working in an office around a bunch of unfamiliar human people who are watching and judging me very closely all the time again and I totally haven't caught myself having to concentrate on coordinating all the muscles in my body in order to walk and stand normally during the lunch breaks where I briefly escape to walk circles up and down the handicap access ramps behind the building.

#oof #I'm not fine but it's fiiiiine #do or die means existing in an office right now and I'm a godsdamned survivor #act normal like my life depends on it #because it does #business business business #neurodivergent #masking

I think what makes Perfect Blue different, and ultimately better compared to other movies about abuse, is that they don't show Mima improving at her craft.

Whiplash and Black Swan are both very similar films, but Neiman and Nina both end up getting significantly better at jazz drumming and ballet while under their abusive mentors. So no matter what happens, their abusers actions are given some validity, because they did actually improve. No matter how bad the abuse gets, leaving is always framed as the wrong choice. Because even though it's hard and exhausting, that's the price you pay for being the best.

But in Perfect Blue, it's a lot more realistic, and more interesting. This framework is rejected entirely. None of the producers or writers on Double Bind care about honing Mima's skill as an actress. They force her to act out a sexual assault scene because they can. She can't say no, and it's a way to get people to watch the show, because it has a former pop star/idol being degraded. They even make her wear her old Cham outfit for the scene. It's unlikely she actually improved at acting through her experiences on Double Bind, but even if she did, it's incidental and irrelevant. All it does is lead to her being forced to do more sexual assault scenes. Her manager even confirms this after Double Bind wraps. Nobody cares about Mima's feelings, or what she wants, something told to us in the first scene of the film. She's just being exploited, and setting her self up for more exploitation. Rumi was the only right character in this movie.

#perfect blue #lone talks #watch this movie #whiplash #black swan #im expecting to get hate for this #mainly because i say whiplash sucks #because it does #not really relevant to this discussion but its a shitty movie with a bad message made to get jk simmons an oscar #but if anyone wants to discuss this feel free to dm me #im always down to talk about peak movies

'So, in 1864, a legislature of 27 white men created a body of laws that discriminated against Black people and people of color and considered girls as young as ten able to consent to sex, and they adopted a body of criminal laws written by one single man.

And in 2024, one of those laws is back in force in Arizona.

Now, though, women can vote.'

Coulson in the memory machine. Skye finding him. Begging for him to come back. Her hands holding his desperately.

Coulson recognizing her. Smiling when he says her name the second time, relieved that she’s there and that’s he’s OK. That she found him.

Coulson in his car in the framework. Daisy finding him. Pouring her heart out to him and hoping he’ll remember her. How the world is scary. How he’s her family. How she needs him to remember her. Her hand on his shoulder.

Coulson recognizing her. His “Daisy?” Coulson as equally confused as he is sure. Confused that he knows, recognizes her, but sure that he does, somehow.

#something something their love is strong it pulls him out #BECAUSE IT DOES #which is true for the whole team i beleive for the whole team of course #‘why would may betray hydra for Skye’ well you see.#like yes ok fitzsimmons is the exception #and also Mack with yo-yo #a bit but he’s also very justified bc Hope is there #but Philinda too??? my girl knew coulson in her heart #philindaisy !!#kidding I love the whole team #but fw philindaisy is SOMETHING ELSE #agents of shield #phil coulson #daisy johnson
