What are some of ur new favorites ?

hi nonny! ahhh, so many new favourite films this month :’)

to start with, i finally saw one for the road (2021), which i’ve been desperate to watch for over a year, and it really didn’t disappoint—it definitely didn’t end up being exactly what i expected, but it was so beautifully and meticulously constructed. watching it felt akin to watching a very accomplished stage magician: you logically know that it is a series of tricks and illusions, but the show is so compelling and well-performed that you don’t want to do anything but sit back in your seat and experience it and admire the craftsmanship—and, if you look hard enough, you might spot some of what’s really going on beneath the flashy hand movements. in the end, i was entranced by the film’s delicious blend of artifice and authenticity—using the true to lend depth to the artificial, and vice versa. it was a true treat to watch; i really loved it

i watched the entirety of yasujiro ozu’s noriko trilogy—late spring (1949), early summer (1951), and tokyo story (1953)—which was just… really as much of a masterpiece as everyone says. it isn’t a conventional trilogy—the films are all unconnected, except for the fact that each one stars setsuko hara as an unmarried 28-year-old called noriko (the three norikos are all different characters, though). they’re all incredibly quiet, but beneath the serene surface there is just—so much emotion and sadness and love that it feels like it would swallow the characters whole if they ever acknowledged it. basically, they fucked me up (particularly tokyo story) and i cannot stop thinking about them. absolute masterpieces of humanist cinema that took the mundane relationships of everyday life and transformed them into something truly transcendent.

i rewatched wong kar wai’s in the mood for love for the first time in years and followed it up with 2046 (which i hadn’t seen before), and they were absolutely sublime. i feel like i’m being too liberal with the word ‘masterpiece’, but there’s really no other way to describe in the mood for love, which is possibly one of the most perfect films ever created. while 2046 doesn’t have the exact same magic as it’s predecessor, it creates a whole new magic of its own.

i also really loved infernal affairs (2002), which was just a pitch-perfect crime thriller starring andy lau and an incredibly beautiful tony leung. it was just *so good* and i had such a good time watching it.

also! this week i finally got a chance to see everything everywhere all at once (in cinema!). it contained *so much* and i’m still formulating my thoughts on it, but overall it was just as fantastic as i’d hoped it would be (and made me cry, to boot).

and though it was only a short film, i was enchanted by the night it rained (1967), an absolutely fantastic iranian metadocumentary that i could compare to rashomon or the films of abbas kiarostami—but won’t, because it succeeded in establishing its own character beautifully. i’ll definitely be watching more of kamran shirdel’s films

#writing about these films made me go through so many feelings #they’re soooo good #the noriko trilogy is haunting me fr #ask response #anonymous #movie tag #faves roundup #im in a rough patch atm but #I’ve just felt so lucky to be able to watch cinema like this recently #<333

Healing slowly — Manjiro <Mikey> Sano

Content: undefined fluff

Warnings: none

Vixen‘s two cents: This has been on my mind for a while now. If you enjoy my content, don’t be afraid to let me know and remember that my requests are open if you have an idea (im having a little bit of writers block atm).

Draken has noticed that Mikey has gotten so much better ever since you came around, how much livelier he looks and sounds and how much less he feels he has to visit to make sure Mikey’s alive. Because he has you now, and Draken knows that it’s time for him to take a step back from Mikey and let him learn to love you right.

Draken has started noticing it a while ago. How much brighter Mikey‘s skin looked, how much more genuinely he smiled, how much more enthusiastic he was about most of anything, really, hell, he even smelled better now! It took him by genuine surprise when Mikey started mentioning you, speaking shyly of how the two of you met and how Mikey seems a bit fonder of you than most. Ken thought it was just a temporary crush, nothing too important, nothing too major.

How wrong he was though, seeing that it came to the point that Mikey would come late to his own gang meetings, spend his monthly allowance on things like chocolates, flowers, cards and trinkets to gift you. It was the way that Mikey seemed to suddenly care for his appearance, ditching the overgrown hair and opting for something a little shorter, more wolffish (you mentioned you liked the cut once upon a time, he remembered). It was the way that he would care that his clothes weren’t creased, that his shoes weren’t stained, that his face was in-tact and all such casualties. It’s the way that Mikey started polishing his bike even more obsessively than before, nearly burning a hole into the rag he used with how vigorously he was rubbing it.

The first time Ken met you, he was in disbelief. Mikey, Majiro Sano, that fucking dumbass bagged YOU? How. There was no way. The disbelief led to many a questions about payment and bribery, even considering intimation and threats to be the base of your relationship. But once he talked to you, got to know you, Ken fully understood. You cared for Manjiro, made sure he was on top of his tasks, made sure that he was more aware of his own needs and fulfilled those too. Mikey cared for you too, encouraged you to take breaks, to be aware of your surroundings and making you losen up a little sometimes, making your day-to-day life just a little more exiting.

You two together were like birds of a feather. A perfectly balanced scale, your relationship was tangent to perfection. This unexpected but wonderful revelation allowed Draken to spend some of his new-found free time alone. Completely alone, nobody bothering him type of alone. There was nothing in his way, no second opinion of what he wanted to do, no nagging about the weather, and no plunderingwallet for snacks and othersuch trivial things.

Draken, whilst astounded by your dynamic, was still a little skeptic. Sure you’ve stuck with Mikey for a bit now, but how would you handle the real struggles? Mikey was a piece of work, a real lot of effort, Draken had the first hand experience to back it up. Surely you would be scared off, surely you’d try your best but eventually fall flat at the overwhelming, almost overbearing nature that Mikey surrounded occasionally. But just like in terms of the first impression, Ken was wrong. You stuck with Manjiro through the depressive episodes, through the bursts of aggression, through the phases of silent treatment, and even when he pushed you away completely, claiming that he couldn’t handle being in a relationship anymore.

Whilst the two of you had rough patches, you never broke. You bother were dedicated to each other and resilient to your relationship. It was complete mutualism with you two, no amount of strain could break the bond you two built. Ken found himself admiring your relationship, silently thankful of the security that you gave one another, and of the transformation Manjiro had gone through. He was capable of his own now. Not that he wasn’t before you, but you had encouraged him to target his weaker spots, foddering growth and comprehension of mind, emotions and expression of such.

Ken was eternally thankful of you, and has recognized that he was no longer a vital part of Mikey’s survival. Manjiro had you now.

my acotar unpopular opinions

I got bored so, i decided to make this, with some of these i use the word “unpopular” lightly

i love all the archeron sisters

nesta is my favorite archeron sister

i love feyre on her own and w/ rhys however, i do think acosf did her dirty at times

speaking of acosf...feysand was done dirty in this book. like what was the point of putting them through more emotional turmoil, especially feyre. it also went back on both feyre and rhys character decisions made in maf and war (im not saying that were acting ooc though) feysand deserved a peaceful pregnancy, which couldve happened in the background while nesta’s story still happened.

which leads me to my next point, nesta deserved to not have her story be overshadowed by that shit baby plot

the intervention scene should’ve only been nesta and her sisters

my favorite characters are nesta, rhys, gwyn, honorable mentions are lucien, eris, cassian and feyre

this is probably rlly unpopular after acosf but my favorite bat boy is still rhys

azriel is my least favorite of the bat boys

i dont think tamlin is a bad person and id like to see him get better for himself and others. i think he should get an arc

technically all the acotar characters are morally grey (well maybe except gwyn, emerie and tarquin..lucien too i guess)

i know there’s debates on whether rhys can be considered one but I think he is. the issue is sjm wrote the acotar world very black and white. sometimes she picks and chooses when her characters are allowed to be morally grey and this happens a lot with rhys (honestly with tamlin and nesta..etc. practically where we see odd double standards) this honeslty does a disservice to rhys’s character and the others as well

i’m not saying that tamlin didnt abuse feyre because he did but it’s pretty clear that he gets over demonized a bit

rhys may be one of my favs but im fully aware that he’s been abusive at times and isnt not a perfect character (clearly). i dont think he was ever meant to be technically.

i feel like a lot of the male characters trauma gets swept under the rug. (Lucien, Rhys, Cassian and even Tamlin) idk about azriel yet tbh

for some reason im obsessed with vassa and jurian..honestly the band of exiles in general. i cant wait to see more of them

i hope elain ends up with lucien and the band of exiles

i know a lot of ppl hate the idea of nesta or gwyn getting to some degree with rhys but i think it’ll be good for him bc they’d give it too him straight (maybe even elain tbh)

you know how cassian and feyre have special friendship as well as nesta and azriel...i’d like to see that with rhys and someone (most likely gwyn, i think she makes more sense than elain..plus they have more in common)

im not anti any characters. i like all of them but ill still call them out on their shit when warranted

my least favorite character in general is amren tho

the most believable friendships in the IC are the bat boys (rhys, cassian and azriel) and cassian and feyre (maybe feyre and mor)

i do think azriel and rhys are in a rough patch atm tho (doesnt mean that they dont love each other tho)

id like to see feyre make friends outside of the IC (im not saying that mor has been terrible to her but she should branch out)

the valkyries definitely have a healthier full group

*Starts writing a letter like Eminem in the Stan music video*

Dear ch3rryb0mb1, how's it been? I haven't seen you in a while. Your art post always makes my day and makes me smile. But I haven't seen you post lately. And my days have become duller, my mind clouded in fog. But I made a request, at the very start of March. And I've been waiting patiently all month starting that noon. Now I know I don't know anything at all about art. I tried to do it once and it all just fell apart. And I know you could be going through some very heavy stuff. Believe me, these past years, I've just had about enough. But if you are taking a break, then you can just let me know. I won't be mad, I just don't wanna interrupt your flow. If you know you haven't posted, don't let this post ruin your break. I don't want to cause any big troubles or mistakes. Just let me know you're still there, chilling in your room. Letting us know that you'll be back on so very soon. And I'm sorry if this post ain't your personal preference. It would be very awkward if you didn't get this reference. But anyways, that's it, let me know when you get back on. I hope you have a great day, signing off, this is Anon.

Hi anon!

Honestly this made my day- im glad my arts helped brighten your day! ive been going through a bit of a hard time this past year or so mostly with my mental health. only recently have things started to get better for me and I've finally started getting the support i need and will be getting an autism screening test soon so with all that’s been going on recently I've been pretty busy - And Technoblade’s death hit pretty hard for me as he has always been a big part of my life and got me into content creation and helped my through many rough patches.

Though i am still planning to carry on doing art and request ext,

i mostly just have been busy and need a bit of a break atm! nothing too much to worry about - ill also mention that ill probably post random bit here and there on my break before getting back into things properly!

Thanks for the tag @fidothefinch!! I'm definitely excited for whatever you have in the works!!

Rules: make a new post and add the last line you wrote, then tag as many people as there are words in the line.

See, I panicked when I was tagged because I literally haven't written anything new from the last time I was tagged in this. So I quickly got onto my wip and wrote for a little while so I could do this lmao.

From my fic Things Left Behind:

Then, the kid looks up to Bruce and only begins to approach Tim when Bruce gives his back a gentle push.

I know it says to tag people, but because the people I normally tag haven't been active lately or have already been tagged, I'll leave this for whoever wants to do it. Feel free to lie and say I tagged you and I'll back you up lmao

#ive been stuck in a writers block and depressive episode #im fine just not feeling mentally the best to be that active in writing atm #some rough patches going on rn #chain meme
