True Knot: "Why is it getting harder and harder to find kids who Shine?"

Me: "You've been eating them for millennia! They never got the chance to grow up and make more Shiny people!"

True Knot: "Hey, a Shiny girl! Let's eat her!"

Every Film I Watch In 2023:

259. Doctor Sleep (2019)

#doctor sleep #doctor sleep (2019)#2023filmgifs #my gifs #that was wonderful #such an excellent clever and sensitive adaptation #of such an important healing and deeply personal novel #i knew Flanagan would get it right #and even with the changes he made to the ending #i understood and accepted why he did #this ending is frankly what i expected from the book #but King was much kinder and much more focused on the healing #Flanagan chose to focus on justice for Wendy #because god knows Kubrick fucked her over completely #and i will never forgive him for that #so my fave line from the book had no purpose in the film and i got that #such fantastic well considered visuals #it was long and i loved every bit of it #it felt so well paced and true and faithful #and if Katie Siegel wasn't pregnant #she would have totally played Rose The Hat #i just know it #Rebecca Ferguson was amazing #everyone gave such good performances #and i loved the use of the score #i've been too afraid to watch this ever since i read the book #cos i was terrified of seeing Mrs Massey #but Flanagan got me through that with a sort of immersion therapy and i love him for it #this is why i watch horror #to look steadily upon the bad thing and survive

'maybe in another life...if things were different...wen qing and jiang cheng could have been' actually their personalities clash and they have fundamentally different worldviews and priorities and wq does not like him as a person or ever wants to be around him longer than strictly necessary so I think not. why are these people so desperate for this to be a thing. there are multiple tragic romantic couples to pick from and every single one is better than this including the two old ladies who have a single flashback scene together

#as if wq held onto that comb for any other reason than thinking it would help her brother #as if jc bothered to act on his feelings beyond getting a generic gift and then proceeded to ignore what wq #rly cared about #as if wq saving and helping jc wasnt just done out of her innate compassion and feelings of responsibility both as a wen and as a doctor #and then later because she felt she owed wwx #I don't think wq hates him or resents him I think she understands his position and hers #but they would never be more than awkward acquaintences #she simply does not like him and doesnt lose sleep over it. the shippers are so goddamn stupid god bless #ive seen novel fans complain that this addition made jc fuck when he wasnt allowd to in the novel #but if anything this subplot enhances his unfuckability. its so obviously one-sided I love it #cql txp

U know how sometimes you feel a bit (and that bit can vary wildly) sad about how many flaws you have (which is normal and human) and how much growing you can do (which is a good goal but perhaps self destructive once you're putting off A Certain Amount of life until you've done "more work" with that goal post of "more work" always moving farther even though at a certain point you should probably accept that every person is somewhat flawed and always needs to grow more and it's okay to Actively Live one's life and enjoy it DURING that endless process of growing)

Well I certainly feel that way again. I feel like all I should do in my free time for the next 3 months (rather than play or create or self care) is do workbooks for healing and growing. And that I shouldn't bother with my life goals again until I've completed the workbooks At Minimum. (And my instincts are saying ummm that plan sounds like a touch workaholic and avoiding actually living life and isolating)

#rant #i just. i decided i want a loving relationship. its been many years. id like to date again #so i. as usual when i have a problem. looked up HOW #well i read 1 book about physical and thought process changes i can make. and it suggested date within 3 weeks. among other tjings #and so i looked up INTERNAL work to find love. because perhaps if i can fix whatever INTERNALLY draws me to only run into unavailable people #will allow me to start running into AVAILABLE options instead. so i need to complete this 300 page therapy workbook.#and theres no point doing the date within 3 weeks if im only able to ask out unavailable people currently.#so ill do the date in 3 weeks AFTER i complete the workbook.#the workbook is exhaustjng and makes me cry but hey maybe itll help. anyway i wish someone had given it to me 5 years ago #but anyway to hqve time to do with workbook ASAP i dont have time for shows #and i rarely have time for Play anyway. something i hear i need.#because i got chronic illnesss wooh and a lot of my free time i need to go to doctors and physical therapy #and manage my diet (cause i have gastroparesis so if im not careful i Cant eat)#and also i need more muscle so my back stops fucking up.#and also i need time to meditate so my pelvic floor relaxes at least a little to lower the gi issues and pain.#so like.#and then also im sure friends would like to see me more.#meanwhile all i really wanna do? is go to a #cabin by the beach in rhe woods and sleep 2 days then eat cake then read and write my fucking novels

good night to dan torrance from doctor sleep (2019) :) . and also to the rest of you all i guess :/

#doctor sleep #(re)watched th movie but w the directors cut version. and god i love him so much he deserves everything.#reading the novel did not give me the sense of satisfaction i wanted even though he survives at the end #oh also i broke my promise to myself and i watched the shining and i did not like it HGSJLDKHFKAJD #but it did heighten my viewing experience of doctor sleep directors cut. so theres that i guess #i know that they went hard w the dan and jack parallels but the dan and wendy parallels really hit better for me #him goin up the stairs w the axe like his mom w the bat. defending abra from rose like wendy protected him from jack. i cry and i sob #i think actually the dan and jack parallels are interesting specifically through the lens of how dan chooses to be different #he chooses to be a better person than his father. at SO many turns.#i just. ahhgghghhghg. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ewan McGregor in "Doctor Sleep"(2019)

On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless: mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant "shining" power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep." Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival.

3 hours long but i believe it`s worth it!

also I can totally see why high school me was drawn to insomnia. it's really light on the horror (for me anyway) and gee I wonder what younger me saw in a protagonist slowly losing his mind bc he can't sleep. hmmmmmmmmmmm

#for clarity I've had sleep apnea for ever on top of my asthma so I've only ever gotten one (1) restful nights sleep in my LIFE when we did #the sleep study with the cpap. my god what I would give for one even tho it dries ur mouth like a mf #seriously I wonder every once in a while why I'm always so tired even if I've slept for 12 hours and then it hits me like a truck that it's #not Restful Sleep. I hardly ever hit REM in fact #also the horror just. isn't scary to me? idk #maybe I'm just not scared by thinking you're losing your mind or by murderous pro life assholes who abuse their spouses but like. thee onlee #time I ever felt even a little bit scared or nauseous was when ralph pinned the doctor with the rusty shears and cut his head. THAT made me #feel sick but the rest of it? not scary at all might as well be reading a slice of life novel lmao

I started Doctor Sleep!

I just began reading this a few hours ago. Usually, I would be at least 75 pages in by now, but for some reason, I am not as interested as I thought I would be and haven't gotten past page 17. For those who don't know, 'Doctor Sleep' is a horror novel written by the one and only Stephen King. My excitement for reading this book came about once I realized it was the sequel to one of my favorite books of King's: The Shining. The Shining was a beautifully unsettling novel about a family of three living inside a hotel filled with secrets. Secrets so dark that it will make your stomach turn. King has yet to let me down, but as I read Doctor Sleep, I keep finding myself reading the same page over and over due to my lack of interest. When I find a book hard to get into, I am quick to pick another book. However, knowing King's work, as well as 'The Shining", I will try my best to continue!

Update coming soon! :)

How can i possibly be this bored already im not even unemployed yet

#going insane #i have a huge day tomorrow i NEED to go to sleep but im too bored to sleep #turns out drawing and reading 24/7 from the age you can hold a book #up until the end of university #really does wonders to remedy the adhd restlessness that has plagued me since graduation #being in school helped too i guess whatever #one time when i was unemployed and living with my parents #my mom thought there was a burgler because i was bored and restless at 2am #and went onto the back deck to build a snowman in the dark #that was the era of me driving into town to wander around the park alone #i wiuld get a new hobby but god knows im not doing the ones i have already #maybe i should get a headshot done and become an actor #i definitely need to write another book #how much do headshots cost anyways #after my back pain treatment is underway im going back to my doctor to try to get adhd treatment again #sat in on 3 meetings today and zoned out of all of them because i was thinking about stuff #that i immediately forgot #oh shit my pain clinic tomorrow is around the corner from that cool gay bookstore coffee shop #wish i had my computer so i could write #writing a novel really was the last thing keeping me sane huh #oh my god go to sleep

learning to scroll past posts that are targeted towards demographics i am not part of or explaining misconceptions i do not have or information that is otherwise not relevant to me to free up Stress Space in my Mind. sometimes this means i do not get past the first 2 sentences of any post on my dashboard. this is ok. i will do laundry or something else now

#personal #trying to be healthier about internet use and obsessively consuming sociopolitical content #maybe eventually i will feel less overwhelmed and tired #so i can do fun things like play game organize sticker book compile data read novels... etc #instead of work. sleep. eat. shower. sleep. tv. youtube. posts. work. doctor's appointment.

i have given up on sleep for now i suppose. the hallucinations will start soon because i have not been sleeping well again lately before this but i just cannot sleep with this paranoia. but if i dont sleep then the paranoia gets worse. oh vicious cycle, we're really in it now :(

#i am laughing to myself a little bit rn. remembering the shitty doctor telling me i just need to sleep and eat healthy and exercise #gee. what a novel idea. sure wonder why i didnt try that before :o)#i miss sleeping from 9pm-6/7am every night #i miss eating enough #i miss going on hikes and walks and not feeling exhausted from thinking abt things or doing dishes #i miss feeling okay. i want to sleep. i miss not being afraid of spiders #i miss feeling like i had any shot at a future. i miss thinking that I'd have a career. and a house. and friends irl fjfkdl #ohhh hello old ache of ''i want to go home'' while being at ''home'' already #okay stop the dramatics. i am just tired. i am so tired and i need to not let all my emotions catch up to me fjfkdl #keep on outrunning them so i do not have to deal w them fjfkdl but i am stuck tonight in fear so they are catching up to me now #needless to say i will not be booking a follow up appt w the doctor. she has nothing for me except condescension :/#delete

It's hard to sleep when you're just angry and angerworrying and feeling like something has been forgotten (it had, I had forgotten a whole ass bill)

:(

Every single time i see a Doctor "aw that sounds relly hard for you :/ here is 0 advice, 0 medication, I cant even be arsed to make a phonecall to make sure you get to the right place. Welcome back in a month where a completely new doctor will ask you the exact same questions and continue doing absolutely NOTHING for you. Oh and expect threatening phonecalls from insurance about loosing your benefits cause we dont really think its important giving you appointments before the doctors notes we ourselves decide the date on run out lolz toodeloo"

#trying to sleep while by brain having a whole rant about how shit all my doctors have been #and how they are convoluting and complicating shit for no reason other than im female #i already know whats wrong but god forbit i get to see any doctor who even know what it is #what i reeeally need is a psychiatrist nurse #a psychiatrist but not cause theyre a doctor that aparently needs to get all information on me second hand from a nurse who cant take notes #and then a round of insurance paid doctors and team of people who dont write referalls or diagnoses but its literally aaaall for nothing #cause im too sick to work but going to a city 3 or 4 hours away 4 or 5 times for hour long meetings is soo easy #where i will AGAIN have to tell them exactly when i fell ill #i should just write a duxkin novel at this point #so i wont have to keep repeating it #im so fucing tired of this shit #it only ever gets worse #and they say o thats so sad :/ come see me again next month and another doctor will continue to not even attempt to help you #vent
