finding out that the reason i gave up on watching james somerton (the occasional rants of thinly veiled misogyny) were the only parts of his videos that could be reasonably assumed to be actually written by him is??? ROBLOX_OOF.mp3

No one talks about it but that shot in Tangled thats like RIGHT before rapunzel’s healing tear drops where its like a wide birds-eye with them in the center and they’re surrounded by ribbons of brown hair and glass shards and the saturation is near grey and it’s completely quiet except for rapunzel’s sobs. Devastating shot i mean TRULY

My mom started watching Our Flag Means Death and you know what just hit me? She's not going to have to wait for season two for a year and a half. No one is ever going to have to wait for season two again.
It got me thinking about new fans and how much of a completely different experience must it be to watch season two directly after watching season one for the very first time. They don't have to stop after episode 10 and sit with Ed's pain and Stede's desperation.
Will they think that Lucius is dead? The last image of the show isn't Ed sobbing anymore? They can just watch the next episode like it's nothing? If they want to they can have the reunion right away?
How much more unhinged is Ed going to look to them if they haven't had time to sit and wallow with him for months? If they don't have to stop and feel the pain? If they don't have the time and uncertainty of not even knowing if the show was going to be renewed...
Just the idea of being able to watch season two right away is kind of unfathomable to me.

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

no offence to people who genuinely enjoyed james somerton and feel cheated but you could kind of tell he didnt give a shit about anything he ever said. there was no passion or personable anecdotes in anything he ever made, and the fact he was constantly posting videos was crazy. like if you watch your more popular video essayists theyre always coming from a point of 1) education in a field 2) passion in a subject and 3) being open about themselves
like , this man hopped on the video essay train because of the popularity of his peers and just tokened himself into "the gay video essayist" as if so many other people werent already doing that? and the lack of care for intersectionality was obvious. i stopped ever watching him after he took it personally that some marvel show was about black exploitation in america and not about two men kissing each other, cuz it became abundantly clear that was the only experience he gave a shit about (his own)

Last Song: Teacher Addiction - Takayan
Currently Watching: just this weekend actually I started watching Hunter X Hunter, I'm on EP 27
Currently reading: admittedly I have not read a book recently :p
Current Obsession: I recently played the Hello Charlotte series by etherane and oh my God. Ohhhhh my God. It is very rare for me to find a piece of media that I vibe with this hard, the whole aesthetic/themes/vibes of it are exactly the sort of thing that I can get obsessed with, it is such an excellent series and I can only recommend anyone who hasn't played it to do so immediately. Look at my baby boy and his face sprites. LOOK at him

I wonder if there really will be a black sails renaissance now that it's on netflix. it SHOULD, honestly! it would be extremely cool if a new gen/wave of fans got into that show. in fact, it's wild to think there are people out there who haven't seen it.
don't sleep on black sails, yall. if you've never seen it, take this as your sign
