My top 6 movies discovered in 2023
I watched 52 new-to-me movies in 2023. Not nearly enough , as I could only find 6 movies that stood out sufficiently to be worthy of a personal top, in what was otherwise a pretty meh year — yes I'm a picky watcher — and yeah The Boy and The Heron didn't make the top, you can read the long rambling I wrote about it if you want to know why; I haven't watched Barbie, Oppenheimer or the Super Mario Bros. Movie, and haven't watched any Marvel-related movie since 2015.
6: Nimona (2023)
Tumblr media
I didn't really expect to like the animated adaptation of N. D. Stevenson's comic, and I went in reluctantly, only because a lot of people who seemed trustworthy recommended it. Despite having some of the flaws I've come to expect in modern 3D animation, this was a very good surprise. You can read my detailed review here.
5: Suzume (2022)
Tumblr media
The plot of Suzume stays very much within the bounds of the "modern artsy anime film", with a rather predictable 3+1 acts structure and an exploration of themes and human interactions which has some subtlety and nuance but overall stays very safe and on-the-surface. Nothing offensive, but nothing truly groundbreaking either.
But.
Suzume had, by far, the best animation of any movie I've seen this year. This movie is an absoluteely beautiful, every-frame-a-painting kind of deal. If I was to rank every animated I've ever seen solely by the quality of their animation, Suzume would easily be in the top 10.
4: Cape Fear (1962)
Tumblr media
American cinema achieved maturity during the New Hollywood era that started in the late 1960s, marking a shift toward more naturalistic and more adult filmmaking and themes. But there were a few notable precursors before that.
The most famous of those is of course Psycho (altho tellingly, it was from a British director). But Cape Fear followed close behind, and is another example of an early 60s movie which you don't expect to be this dark and this raw, starring an absolutely get-under-your-skin-terrifying Robert Mitchum — if you thought he was creepy in The Night of the Hunter, you haven't seen nothing yet…
3: The Outwaters (2022)
Tumblr media
This was the biggest surprise of the year, watched the same day it was recommended to me, having heard absolutely nothing about it before that (I didn't even know this movie existed). I got treated to a no-budget yet beautifully-shot found-footage horror movie — in fact the best found-footage movie I have ever seen, with a lot of attention put toward making the gimmick plausible, making the characters realistic and likeable, making this look like the kind of actual footage you'd find on a personal camera — while also having amazingly beautiful cinematography — all while slowly building up the tension.
Because that's just the first half.
Oh yeah, it's one of these horror movies in which you think you know where the story is going, and then second half just explodes in your face and becomes completely, utterly batshit insane. This is on par with Men (2022) for how weird and fucked up the climax is. Don't expect any kind of explanation or closure here, the second half of this movie turns into one of the most fucked up and bizzare horror movies you'll ever see.
2: Godzilla Minus One (2023)
Tumblr media
Yeah so this one was a surprise late-year hit for everyone, not just me. First live-action Japanese Godzilla film in 7 years, with rather tempered expectations — we all knew that Shin Godzilla was an odd one out, that the average Japanese Godzilla movie is not like that, that we shouldn't expect this kind of quality on a regular basis.
Well we played ourselves.
This was incredibly well made as a blockbuster — Japanese cinema has completely caught up on American cinema, for a fraction of the budgets — one of the best Godzilla movies ever made from an action and visuals point of view, and a reminder that Godzilla, as a character, can also be scary, a terrifying incarnation of destruction and disaster.
But somehow this also managed to be a powerful and well filmed drama — no lazy endless shot/reverse shot dialogues here, a lot effort is put into framing choices, blocking… — a movie that actually touches on difficult questions and goes against the message of many other war or action blockbusters.
When so many stories glorify the idea of sacrifying your life for a greater cause, here's one movie that says "hey maybe expecting people to sacrifice their life for your cause is actually pretty fucked up, and maybe it's actually better to choose to live for the sake of your loved ones than to die for the sake of your own pride". Yeah a Japanese movie is saying that, a Godzilla movie is saying that.
1: Skinamarink (2022)
Tumblr media
So, speaking of low-budget independent horror, back in 2022 I had foolishly overlooked Skinamarink. I had vaguely heard that it was good, but no particular detail was mentioned that would have picked my interest, and the poster looked fairly generic, so I skipped it, even tho I should have been more intrigued — 2022 was already shaping up to be a really good year for horror films…
Skinamarink was a tough proposition from the get go, in the "experimental" kind of tough: an entire film made in the analog horror genre — usually short videos made to ressemble old media from the 80s and 90s, advertisements, warning messages, weather channels, documentaries and informercials, with a disturbing twist; a format usually made of short segments. Trying to tell a film-length story in that fashion is an entirely different exercise, but that's fine, I've sat thru Begotten (1989), I can do this.
Right away, this is not framed like a movie: it's more as if someone had negligently left an old camera on the floor — but this is not even found-footage, there is no camera in-story, we just happen to be seeing this world thru stolen, furtive points of view. The image is grainy, the sound is bad quality (subtitles are provided), the frames are often askew, you never even see the actors' faces. We get no narration, no exposition, just a succession of disjointed scenes that slowly form a story.
This shouldn't work. And for many people, this will not work. Most will turn this off not even 5 minutes in. But if you're among the exceptions, then howdy does it work. The format is not a gimmick at all — it's completely in service of the story. The grainy image, the low quality sound prey on your pattern recognition, never quite certain if something is there or not; the framing by a "forgotten" camera contributes to make the atmosphere hyper-real in its intimacy, yet alienating and uncanny.
The director of Skinamarink deals with one very specific topic: nightmares. Not the idea of nightmares, not the heightened nightmares of fiction, but the literal nightmares that real people have; he started by making short videos representing common nightmares that people would tell him about. When it came time to make a full-length feature film, he kept the same approach. Skinamarink doesn't really use any of the classic themes or structures of horror movies; it largely ignores that folklore and instead focuses on deep childhood fears, the kind of stuff your mind used to conjure up long ago and that you have forgotten but not erased from your brain.
If you manage to enter into this very peculiar format, this very unusual and seemingly disjointed way to tell a story, and if you identify with the kind of fear material the movie is drawing on, this is a truly scary experience. Not really in a jump scare or suspense way, more like a deeply haunting and unsettling atmosphere, a strong ambient uncanniness where things are almost normal but just broken enough to give you a constant feeling of unpleasantness, of wanting to run the hell out of here while being trapped, a sense of horrible lurking threat while having nothing concrete to fight against or protect yourself from.
Of course, this isn't exactly a fun experience. This is very, very intense, I'm talking Antichrist-levels of playing with your nerves, and the story, as simple as it is, is tragically harrowing and cruel — you're essentially watching two young children getting psychologically (and eventually physically) tortured by a sadistic, unseen entity for a hundred minutes.
It's hard to recommend, and yet recommendations is how this movie ended up grossing 2 millions on a 15k budget — promotion included ! Most people actually didn't like the movie, but those who liked it liked it so much they can't shut up about it (case in point!) It's one of those horror movies that completely break the boundaries of the genre and do something truly new and unique. It's what horror should be for: imagination gone wild, format-breaking fantasy, and realism thrown out of the window.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter  27: "Don't say I didn't warn you"
Chapter Warnings: Explicitly mature content, 18+ only, Unprotected PiV, hand job,
Series Masterlist 
Series Summary:
You are neighbors with Austin Butler on the Gold Coast of Australia just prior to shooting Elvis. You become just friends because he is taken. However, after he is single again, you both find out just how attracted you are to one another and things get unrelentingly hot.
SERIES WARNING: Explicitly mature content, 18+ only,  here there be lemons.
Authors Notes: I started writing this while remodeling my kitchen, so that informed the slightly quirky narrative. It starts slow, but once it heats up, it is on fire. I have tried to pull facts from RL as much as I could, but obviously there are some assumptions and flat out dreamy wishes  involved here. 
Chapter  27: "Don't say I didn't warn you"
It takes about 10 minutes to recover.  Him from cumming and  you from…well… not cumming. He doesn’t talk, just holds you as he leans on the counter, legs crossed at the ankle. You are snuggled under his chin, ear against his chest, listening to his heart beat and unconsciously matching your breathing to his. 
A timer goes off, and Austin checks the film, the dryer has done its job well. He asks you to turn on the regular light, you both blink in the brightness. He tucks his shirt back in, you smooth your hair and wipe your face again. You both check one another over for tell tale signs of what you have been up to. Satisfied, well he is anyway, you retrieve all your things and open the door. 
“Wow, that was fast, that dryer is a game charger, huh,” says the young attendant,  “let me show you our new scanner?”  He was excited to tell you all about their new very fancy digital scanner when you arrived.  Austin decides to try it. And after being shown the basics, Austin sets to it.
You go in search of snacks, knowing it’ll take a bit. You end up walking around the block down to Austin Street, of all the fucking names in the world,  and getting some pork and chicken skewers with some rice for each of you at a place called Banh Mi Factory.  The walk does you some good, calms you down as you take in people going about their everyday business. 
When you get back about 45 minutes later, Austin is almost done.  He motions you over to see.
You look over his shoulder at the screen as each image comes up. There are several good ones at Natural Bridge; in front of the waterfall, against the tropical trees and rocks. The are like artsy vacation photos. 
Then there are the ones of Goddess You naked in the forest.  In one,  You are laying naked in the water, Your hair is streaming around Your head and Your hands carelessly half covering Your tits. Staring into the camera like You were about to hand out a fucking sword.  It’s amazing. 
“I’m gonna print that one, and a few others here in a minute.” he says, munching a chicken satay skewer.
There are a few of him that you took. One really strikes you. It is of him looking directly at the camera with a shy smile that curls his lip up. So simple, but you need it. 
“Can I have that one?”  he nods and writes it down. 
There are a couple of you in your sexy dress from behind with your arms up. The one with you looking to the side is amazing. The muscles of your back are gorgeously highlighted by the light from the sliding door. You look like an actual model, damn.  
You start giggling at the Charlie’s Angel one, providing the soundtrack for the next one of you laughing. 
“I absolutely love this one, it’s my favorite, ” says Austin, looking up at you, “it’s so very you.” 
You respond with a kiss, then wrap yourself around him from behind. 
The one with you looking down at him, your dress bunched in your hands almost exposing yourself is sexy as fuck. The closeups of your dripping pussy with your own finger inside you, a drop running down your inner thigh look intimately artistic. Then he starts in on the ones of you tied up: you gagged with the rope and your arms tied up above you, one with your ass in the air tied to the ottoman. 
“Wow,” you growl in his ear, “I didn't know looking at myself would be so hot.”
“Um yeah, you are fucking hot Kitten,” he kisses your cheek. 
Once he has them all digitally on a USB stick. He decides to print a handful of these from the negatives, old school. So back into the darkroom he goes. 
You decide to wander the gallery. The exhibit is by a photographer named Alex Buckingham. There is one that just strikes your fancy called “The Dive”. You buy a print, deciding to use it in your Uncle’s remodel.  
The attendant tells you about the tucked away coffee shop across the street. You go sit for a few minutes sipping coffee. You snag one to go for Austin.
When he emerges he looks quite pleased with himself. You hand him his drink. 
“How do you know just what I need, Kitten,” he kisses your cheek. You walk out of there with several 8X10’s in an envelope and a very happy man. 
The uber ride back to the hotel is quiet. Austin looks glued to his phone while you seem to stare out the window shifting uncomfortably in your seat and randomly tapping your hand. To outside eyes it would look like he is inattentive and you are pissed about it. In actuality, Austin is playing with all the settings on the vibe and you are trying viciously not to cum in your already soaked panties. 
Once at the Emporium, Austin stops by the concierge to chat about dinner reservations. You wait a few steps behind, arms crossed and antsy. 
“Good,” he says, placing his hand on your waist and guiding you to the elevators, “we have reservations for 5:45 at a place called Bacchus. So we have about an hour and ½ to get ready.” 
“Good, that should be enough time,” you shoot him a sexy glance. 
As you step onto the elevator, your pussy starts vibrating, hard. You walk to the back corner and turn around. You are antsy; crossing your arms, shaking your leg,  rubbing your  thumb along your lip. You must look like some kind of drug addict. Well, Austin is a fucking stimulant, as hot as he is leaning up against the opposite back corner, just watching you with those sexy blue eyes, a tiny, amused smile on his mouth. 
Fuck. As soon as the door closes, you are going to pounce on him. You may not make it all the way to the suite before your clothes are off.
Unfortunately, a person steps into the elevator with you at the last second. They smile at you and turn around pushing their floor. Austin looks at his phone. Changing the pattern of the vibe and watching you out of the corner of his eye. 
The buzzing is starting to make you feel a little numb, which is honestly a good thing since you are so turned on. What might that 3rd person do if you just started humping Austin in the elevator? You are seriously considering it when you hear a ding and they get off  a couple floors below yours.  
The second the elevator doors close you rush, crashing  together in the middle of the elevator, lips, chests, hands. 
“Fuck, turn it off,” you beg. He quickly does. His mouth is on your neck, sinking his top teeth into the meaty part. It makes your knees buckle under you. 
“I want you to know,” he whispers in your ear, holding you up, “that before this day is over,  I am going to have filled all three of your holes with my cum before I let you have your orgasm.” He shows you his phone, he has set a 45 minute timer, “but that’s all the time we have right now.” 
DING! Challenge accepted. 
The doors open and there is a handsome man in a well cut business suit waiting for the elevator. He takes in the disheveled sight of you both and flashes Austin a knowing smile before stepping aside to let you out. 
“Hello,” you say and wink at him as you walk by, leading Austin by the hand to your door.
He nods his head. Just before the doors close you hear, “Have fun.”  
“Oh we will’ says your demon, loud. You hear a laugh behind the elevator door. 
Once you are inside the suite, you turn around to Austin, he pulls you in for a deep kiss. 
You are so horny, you can control neither the shaking of your hips, nor the moans that his kiss swallows. 
Then his hands are unzipping your dress, stopping to unhook your bra half way and pulling both off your shoulders to fall to the ground around your now bare feet. His clothes soon follow. 
“Spread your legs,” he says, one finger gliding along the inside of your waistband, his other hand  pressing your back to the wall. Slowly, he pulls your sodden panties gently away from your vulva, “Good lord Kitten, I’ve never seen you this sopping wet before you’ve cum.”
He undoes the magnet and fishes the vibe out from between your lips. His fingers brushing against your inner lips and your clit make you whimper and scoop your pelvis towards him in a silent appeal for more. He brings the wet toy up to his mouth trailing a long line of juices from its tip,  and licks it off. Wrapping his tongue around it and teasing you, he knows you would rather he drink straight from the source. 
He places the vibe on the entry table, then strips off your panties, leaving the drenched unicorns on the pile of clothes. 
You can’t stand being this close, naked, and not have him buried inside you. You pull his head down to kiss him while pushing him backwards across the room. His hands are on your backside, kneading your ass. 
He sits down when he hits the bed. You don’t stop pushing him, crawling on top of him as he scoots to the middle and lays down. 
“Turn around, I want you to watch,” he indicates the wall across from the bed that is all mirrors. You turn around, straddling his hips as he holds his hard cock upright.  
“Oh yes, this, this is what I fucking need!” you moan as you slide down on him. After so much buzzing all day, the sensation of being filled feels incredible. 
You rock back and forth on him, grinding him deep into you, moaning. You lift up as far as your bent legs will let you, watching him slide out of you. He grabs your arms, pulling them to your low back. He holds them there, pushing to support your back. 
“Watch as I fuck you,” he commands. 
In the mirror, you see yourself arched back, your tits  pressed forward. He starts with slow strokes, flexing his glutes.  It is blissfully agonizing to watch him slide in and out of you as he thrusts his hips up, knowing you won’t have release from it. 
It is erotic to watch.  You see now why people video themselves fucking. You wish there was a camera set up now. 
 He speeds up. Your breath comes faster. Your head falls back. It feels so good. 
“No, watch,” he tilts your head forward. 
He starts pounding you hard, knees bent, using his feet for leverage. You start to squeal as you feel an orgasm building, building. Your demon considers not telling him and just cumming. But no, that’s not the fun of this game,  you tell her.  
“Oh fuck Austin, I’m gonna cum,” you declare as your demon rattles her chain.
He pulls out as you rise up and pitch forward between his legs, ass in the air.  Breathing to try to regain some control. You really want to play this game, but you are not sure how much more you can take. 
“Oh Kitten, that’s gorgeous,”  he says after a minute or two. You feel fingers petting you from behind, running on either side of your labia, then applying pressure so your lips swell outwards. Then another finger is stroking those puffed lips. You moan and squirm into his touch. You can feel his other hand moving on his cock, rubbing the tip in your wet folds.
 Reaching through your legs, you grasp him, still wet with your juices. You slide your hand up and down. 
He pushes that finger inside your exposed slit, pressing down.
“Oh god yes,” you moan as he slides across your g-spot. Your hand grips his dick tighter. 
“Let’s see how much you can take before you make me stop,” he says, slipping another finger in and starting to move across that toe curling site. As he speeds up, making sloppy, squashy sounds. You feel flecks of moisture spattering his cock. Jesus, it's amazing. 
“Careful,” he taps your hand on his cock. Realizing you were gripping rather tight, you let go of his dick.
You start rocking back and forth on his fingers, moaning into the covers. “Oh, Oh, OH!” each time you impale yourself. 
He rubs his thumb  side to side on your clit, you squeal “FUCK!” and pull away from him shaking. 
“That was fucking close,” you blow out, trying not to clench your pussy. 
“Come up here baby and turn around,” he says, hands coaxing your hips back towards him. You turn around, straddling him, his cock jutting out between your legs. 
“Austin, if you fuck me right now, I am going to cum,” you say seriously. 
“Alright,” he reaches for the lube on the bedside table, “then stroke me.”
 He drizzles a little lube on his tip. With him in your hand, it looks like it’s your own cock you are  about to jerk off. It’s fucking hot. 
“When I’m close, I am going to fuck that pussy, I want it full before we leave again,” he puts his hands behind his head so he can watch you. God you love when he talks dirty like that. 
“Tell me how you like it,” you say, starting with simple up and down caresses in a light fist. Maybe focusing on him for a while will help you calm down.  
‘Unlikely,’ whispers your demon, ‘ just look at him.’ SHHHH!
“A little tighter,” he says. You comply.  “Uh huh, like that.”
After a dozen or so strokes, you slide your hand up and over his tip and down between your first and middle finger. His stomach contracts a little, his abs popping out then relaxing back. 
“Oh lord, that, do that,” he moans. You sprinkle ‘that’  in between the long strokes on his shaft.
“Faster now,” he instructs, licking his lips and curling back up to watch you jerk him off. 
Your pace increases.  You steady him with your other hand at the base and add in a little twist toward the tip. His front teeth are savage against his full bottom lip. Holy fuck he looks hot, your juices threaten to drip onto his balls. 
“I need a little more lube,” he says.
 You stop and let a long drip of saliva fall into your hand. 
“Oh fuck, that was hot, babe,” his voice is a whispered staccato.
The level of his arousal and your current control of it, is intoxicating. 
‘You are on top here,’ your succubus tells you, ‘ you are in control of his orgasm, he is your quarry.’ Your eyes narrow and the corner of your mouth curls up in a demonic smile.
After a couple minutes you can feel him getting close. To the delight of your succubus, you stop. Taking your hands off him, his cock bounces, red and swollen, against his stomach.  
 His face is a mix of confusion, concern, and betrayal. 
Your demon suddenly wishes he was tied up so you could really fuck with him. Visions of  bringing him to the edge over and over again while he is bound and helpless flash in your mind’s eye.  Then watching as the slightest touch spurts his cum onto… 
He reaches for himself, you lean forward and clamp down on his wrists. Hovering over him on all fours, you tease him with your pussy, rolling your hips back and forth, spreading his cock with your juices. Damn it feels good to be on top.
“Beg me,” you say with your wicked grin, “beg me to make you cum.”  You see him weighing his options. He pushes against your grip a little, you are stronger than he realized. Yeah, he can overpower you if he wants, especially with lube on your hands. But what fun is that? 
“Please,” his voice is strained, “please make me cum inside you.” 
You lean down to his ear and whisper, “that’s a good boy,” and lightly lick his earlobe. 
You let go of his wrists and sit back, pulling his throbbing dick up between your legs. Licking between your thumb and forefinger then wrapping them in a ring around his head you slip up and down rubbing his sensitive ridge and frenulum.  The first three fingers  and thumb on your other hand are below, gliding on either side of his shaft, hands working in concert.
His eyes go huge, pupils dark with desire. His mouth hangs open in an exhale.
You speed up as his breath huffs from him and his abs flex tight. His hands are gripping your knees, ready in case you let him go again. His eyelids flicker  over his rolled back eyes, his head droops back. 
You slow down.
His head snaps up.
“I’m so close, please,” he says through gritted teeth, “please don’t stop.”  You rise up and sink him into your pussy.
“Omigod you are so hot inside,” his body shakes under you.
His hands grip your hips like steel, pulling you down onto him as he furiously plunges in and out of you. You want to clamp down on him, but it feels too good and you know it’ll make you cum. You are miraculously still willing to play the game now that you got a little control back. 
“That’s it, cum for me baby, fill me with it,” you urge him on, your voice pitching higher as pleasure winds tight inside you.
He thrusts half a dozen more times into you. Each thrust  pushes you farther to the edge, making you bite your lip and moan. Each thrust punctuated by a syllable “So. Fu-cking. Good. Kit-ten.”  The last is followed by a deep thrust hard into you. Growling out a prolonged ‘nnnnn uggghhh’ as his abs pull him up towards you. He is shaking  and gritting his teeth as he shoots his load into you.
He collapses back on the bed, sweat popping up on his brow, chest heaving. 
“Well, that was fun,” you say after he gets a few big breaths in. You feel him clench and his cock bounces against your g-spot, making you  shiver on top of him.  His lip curls into a smile. 
You pull off of him, cum still inside you and lay down next to him, head on his sweaty chest. Your demon settles down now that she got a little authority back. 
He puts his arms around you, holding you tight against him and sighs. “Thanks babe, I’ve hit the jackpot of girlfrien…zzz.” Then he is snoring.  Boys. 
Wait, did he just call you his girlfriend? I mean… fuck what does that mean? Was it a post-coitus  Freudian Slip? Is that a thing?  Did he mean it?
‘ Okay, well, you kind of are, in like everything but title,’ your demon chimes in. 
Huh? 
‘ Well duh, you feed him, you fuck him, you put him to bed…. You fuck him more, he fucks you more… over and over…. Mmmm, yummy. He takes you on a romantic weekend getaway. He buys you expensive dresses ."
 She is making too much sense, despite the lecherous interludes. 
Ok just ONE dress! And he actually says ‘I love you’… and you love him. His favorite picture of you is of you laughing like a loon.  You start to smile. 
 ‘Yup,’ your demon says, ’ See, girlfriend.’
 Shit. 
But is it though? Is it shit? Are you not the happiest you’ve ever been in your whole life? Does he not make you giddy when he walks into the room? 
‘Does he not check all your sex boxes and then some?’ you can almost see the light glint off her horns. Randy little imp. 
You have to admit that listening to his heart beat in this moment, curled up against his chest feels like the very thing you have been steering blindly towards your whole life. Maybe it’s time to take off the fucking blinders. Scary. 
‘What are you so afraid of?’
The future
‘There is only one way to get out of the future, and we already faced that shit. Next!’
 Of being hurt. Of hurting him. 
‘Ppffft, you know that’s just a risk of love and part of being human. You are stronger than that.’
I’m afraid of being too tied down to accomplish all I want to do.
‘Fear is the mind killer.’ Dammit, no fair bringing DUNE into this! 
‘Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration’ .  
You take a big breath in and blow it out.  FUCK. She is right, little bitch. 
“I will face my fear,” you whisper into his pectoral muscles. He stirs and holds you closer. 
Wow, that is the most help your inner demon has ever been. Who knew she was more than just a sex fiend. 
‘Layers baby, I got layers’
You fucking love her. 
Your mini anxiety attack abated, you decide to jump in the shower and use the enema bottle you brought to get good and clean. After all, you know what’s coming. 
When you get out, you hear his alarm going off in his pants in the pile of clothes. 
“Hey hunny, it’s time to get ready to go,” you pat his chest on your way to turn off the alarm. 
“Hey baby,” he stretches, ”you back?” 
“Huh?” you say, confused.
“Well that demon was here fucking me and she is something to contend with,” he smiles at you.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. She likes to play, especially with you.”

I started Ghosted last night, still watching it. But For me, Chris is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this one. The idea is cute, he’s charming and adorable as this adorkable farmer. Ana can’t act and they have no chemistry. And her wig is so bad. He needed a different costar for this to work. 😬😬😬😬
Eeeesh lol yikes 😬
Well, I'm def gonna check it out.... for research purposes lol 😏 I mean, I love artsy films, deep films, etc, but I ALSO love lighthearted films, films where you don't have to think so hard, and films where I can just turn my brain OFF sometimes you know lol?
I mean, I thought "The Kissing Booth" was cute for what it was for goodness sakes lol. 😅
So I don't think I'm difficult to please where movies are concerned. All I ask is that I'm ENTERTAINED. 😊
Thanks for all of the heads up though guys. Looks like it's a good thing this movie didn't come out in theaters lol 😆
At least my expectations won't be high when I see it. Not that they were anyway. I could kinda tell from the trailer what kind of movie it was going to be lol 😆 😅

♡ ┊don't blink
         with @lgcsujin ♡
she looks at the pile of little houses and decorations with a bit of a lost expression. yein has never been the artsy type, or the kind of person who liked to do these little crafts. in fact, she didn't really like making things on her own at all, save for the times when she's baking but she feels like that's a product of her upbringing more than anything. she was around flour and sugar and yeast so much that she just learned how to combine it into bread, so it's just different.
but this gingerbread village isn't even actual gingerbread, and once she realizes that she's even less into it because it's not even a cute dessert. it's just...plastic?
but since this will be filmed and put on social media, yein is still determined to make the best fake gingerbread house, if only so people will praise her. because she can't even imagine having an ugly gingerbread house, so she supposes she should actually try for this one.
her thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a person standing next to her, and she's kind of glad to have a partner. "are you good at these kinds of things?" she asks, but the smile on her face falls as soon as she sees who it is. "oh. it's the red bean bun thief." yein crosses her arms over her chest. "what are you going to do now, steal the fake candies i want?"

guess who's alive? exactly, me!! :D *slumps down and never gets up* (sorry in advance this will be quite the long ask >_<)
i get the feeling of fried brain, my session just finished ;-; #neveragain (wish i could say it for real tho) it's not a problem if you can't add much ahah, really, so don't worry :3
i feel you, my rbf isn't of any help but luckily those who receive my love know it and about the rest i don't care °v° and as i said (i think) as long as you're genuine i don't think that's a problem, honestly is what matters ^u^
yeah i noticed the game and noticed only now i forgot to ask you a question but now head is empty so whatever 🫠 if you say so then brb gonna go buy pencils for xiao and you so you can fill each other's skin with drawings and writings eheh~
me too honestly, i just need to relax, eat good food and sleep for hours trapping the indigo menace in a cuddling hug >:3 for movies i'm down bad for pixar but indie and artsy sounds good too 👀 and slow dancing at night is just something sooo cute and sosksiskdjsjskwj i'm down bad pt2
we can agree that villainous fictional men >>>>>>>>> goody two-shoes hero, but morally grey characters deserve a mention of honor, a whole hall just for them @^@
NOW, ONTO THE NEW MODERN SERIES FIC FUCK I'M SO EIDJWKSNDKWJWOSJSIHS
childe you cocky little menace with that shit-eating grin 🤺 i love this type of grin it sends me on cloud nine but also actives my fighting spirit lmao
i loved every word and the implicit mention of scara's partner and childe's being colleagues, what a chaos putting those two in the same room because of their lovers (saw the other asks, died of laughter)
it had me going 👀 when reader went "one coffee for the mystery man" LIKE MAN THE AUDACITY i would have prayed the universe to swallow me especially after ginger's reply folsdoodsj so good really
also, a curiosity: since you mentioned yanqing (my son <3) does this mean that gi and hsr men will interact more often, being in the same universe? tbh knowing some characters either they will get along well or a big fight would start the moment they see each other pfft-
anyway, i think that i covered everything so that's all! as always, take care, drink water and coffee, eat healthy and sleep well at night, you can do this! and good luck with uni :3
bye bye~
— ❄️
hii great to see you back and good job on surviving!! i’ll put the answer under a cut for brevity’s sake haha
well i hope i sound and look genuine bc sometimes i feel like i don’t and if i try to sound more excited, people would probably think i’m faking it; but yeah my friends probably know by now how i act so i think i should be good :>
don’t force yourself to participate if you can’t come up with something, i promise i still have enough material to go through (me, typing a novel for a moot’s entry /aff); whenever i doodle on my arm i normally just use ball point pens or eyeliners but i also saw people using like actual colours for painting/body paint and i really want to try that; having someone drag a brush and paint over your back must be such a funny feeling <3
i’m not watching a lot of films right now, so i can’t say what my favourite genre is but i do love a good animation (i still need to see the new spiderman aaahhh); speaking of going to the cinema: there’s sth so special about going there during daytime and coming back out when it’s dark outside; imagine walking home after the film with your fave, he gives you his jacket against the chill of the evening and you laugh and joke as you discuss the film you just saw until he gently grabs your hand and starts twirling you around under the light of a street lamp… *sigh* what a dream (frantically scribbles into my notes for the modern au hshsh)
i just think villains and morally grey characters just are much more fun to explore; would i want hazbin hotel’s alastor to be real or would i like him if i met him? no because he is/was a serial killer, but in fiction? fascinating, intriguing, fun to explore; fiction just gives us the means to explore these morally not so cool actions and mindsets without most of the consequences, and i love that (also it really is sexy if a bad guy drops everything for their love; who wouldn’t want to be their partner’s priority; also also, villains with their own set of moral code, like ‘sure i’ll burn down a city but hit a woman? i would never’)
childe activates my fighting spirit in general, like come over here and let’s bicker, you gorgeous idiot, and maybe i’ll kiss you afterwards <3 and also yes that grin… it might be here bc of the writer’s bias…
i just had to make them colleagues!! please just imagine them gossiping about their bfs after work or during the double date the readers are just talking the night away whereas childe and scara just have this icy atmosphere around them, but the second their partners look over they melt bc they’re just so in love dorks, all of them
and omg yes, thank you for mentioning it, i’ve been dying for someone to point it out: it’s official, it’s a genshin/honkai shared au!! it’ll be mostly genshin with some hsr characters but yes!! they’re sharing the same universe, they will be interacting (now we wait for someone to mention the company vizion is signed under… i wonder who works there… /silly)
thank you, make sure to take care of yourself as well!! <3

abelia, daffodil, camellia, jasmine, nutmeg, 3, 12, 21, 37, 49 go crazy
tehehe let's go
abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with?
i want to be that bitch but i hate having things touching me when they don't have to be. closest i got was a necklace i had on for several months but i snapped it over spring break :/ ig hopefully when i get a piercing i'll have that at least!
daffodil ⇢ do you have siblings? if yes, in what ways do you think you’re similar to or different from them?
yes i do! i have two older siblings. i've always been told i'm very similar to my brother, which i find sweet and heartbreaking cause he was in college before i was even like. conscious. i looked up to him so hard though so it makes sense. i have a similar like physicality to him too. i think we're all u know. a product of our upbringing. my brother has always been an artsy dude, always more of a radical thinker and funny and i've modeled my music taste after him for a large part of my life. he's a little more of a stiff now having like a family and a job but he is a freelancer so that's cool lol. my sister is hardcore like. she's disney adult not in an I can't forgive you way but it becomes a bit much very quickly. she and her husband are very Capitalism. she's also very much more likely to side with my dad on things or at least vouch for his perspective. so i think there's always been a bit more of a tough barrier between us. but i've still hung out with her and her husband a lot in the last several years
camellia ⇢ what were you like when you were younger? do you think you’ve changed a lot?
mm. i dont know that we wanna get into this <3 im the same im different every little girl i've ever been lives inside me idk who she was at the time idk if i know who she always was but we're all here and also i've changed so much in a year alone but i have a lot of the same um problems lol idk
jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?
i don't have a good answer for this other than i still havent rewatched dead poets society since november 2019.
nutmeg ⇢ how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?
UGH um just once i would like to have a genuinely homey feeling room but something still feels off. i have some posters and i got lights but it still feels like. cold. idk!
3. do you leave the window open at night?
not rn but you know who does! peeta <3 during summer i like to yeah unless it's way too humid or something
12. what kind of day is it?
i was on a shoot today for someone's short film and it was really fun! i love working in film i love the crews i've worked with. i stepped in this GIANT puddle and my foot got so so so cold but luckily it was a moderately warm day out. otherwise im very tired and lacking motivation but um <3 we stay silly
21. something you’ve kept since childhood?
i have cards from when i was really little and a lot of notebooks and papers from like middle school containing plenty of bad fanfiction and notes passed between my friends and random written rps
37. someone in your life, other than a relative, you’ve known for 10+ years?
this one friend of mine who's like insane like i've almost cut her off several times. but we just don't talk a lot. and two of my other friends who are twins and are literally always a piece of my heart though it's been so long since we've really talked
49. can you skip rocks?
i used to be pretty okay at it as a kid now... idk i might flop <3 i'd still try though. sometimes i just liked to throw bigger rocks to see a splash

when did you first discover your passion for photography? who have been your creative influences during your creative journey? what do you find to be the most inspirational sources for the content your create?
I mean I've always really like cameras and taking pictures, I even got my first camera as a Christmas present when I was eleven so I think its always kinda been with me, but grew over time. As a teen I got really into tumblr and me and my friends started trying to take "artsy pics" (looking back they were crap, but I thought they were so good). When I started high school I decided to study media production and took 2,5 years work of film and TV production classes and a year of photography classes. This is when I started really finding my own style and got to go to several art exhibits that have deeply touched and inspired me.
The two creators that touched me the most were Evelyn Bencicova with her hauntingly beautiful photographs and William Kentridge's art piece The refusal of time. Seeing these works were an almost spiritual experience to me, but I don't know how much of that has translated into my own creative works.
I can get inspiration from basically anywhere. Situations, objects, other people's art, music etc

꧁Introduction꧂
Greeting everyone who accidentally discover this random blog.
♛ this is the very personal blog. It contains both serious and shit posts. Also; I reblog whatever I love, I like, I wanna and I need to. Sometimes, I ramble, whine, do carthasis-ing.
🌈 I go with the 'SeptimaSeverina' alias, because I like number 7 and I want to acquire Latin.
✅ You can call me Sept, Jo (derived from my Cantonese name that my father had given me) and Sreesaptaa or Ravindaa (रविन्दा - my sanskrit names)
🌐 South East Asian. I was born and live here for my entire life. My country is not entirely looking good as you see in multimedia, but somes are real - like faking-Democracy etc.
🏛 Skeptic + Epicurean + Stoic (trying) + Yogic
📝 Still learning Sanskrit, Spanish, Italian, French, Ancient Greek, Latin, Gaelic, Irish
💯 My family members and my closest friends define me as 'nerdy', 'artsy', 'indie', 'Tsunami-like', 'goth', 'emo', 'kinda-complicated' and so many.
🤓 Love to learn and study almost everything, but too lazy to get another degrees. Because I'm tired and so done with educational system. Being self-learner has more freedom and don't have to convince some old-fashioned and arrogant lecturers to open their minds for the new hypothesises - moreover, it's better to debate with free thinkers.

I am really surprised you are so confident in making all of your "career advice" on the fact you haven't seen many of Edvin's earlier roles, that you didn't like Avgrunden and with seemingly zero knowledge about the Swedish film industry. That's just not very reasonable, is it?
He didn't take that role in Avgrunden because out of sentimental reasons for Richard Holm. He chose it because it was one of the biggest movies ever made in Sweden, with an international release, with huge stars like Tuva Novotny and Peter Franzen attached to it, that is a smart career move from the get go. That YOU didn't like the movie doesn't make it a bad choice. He didn't take the role in APOY because of Felicia or because MJ Hamilton forced him to. He chose it because MJ Hamilton has written multiple very successful YA shows in the past and Sigge Eklund is hugely popular too. Zara Larsson is one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now, not just in Sweden, but in all of Europe, additionally it's a lead in a movie attached to Netflix. All of those things are smart reasons to choose that project. Just because YOU don't think Felicia can act who was just nominated for a Rising Star award doesn't make it a bad choice.
And if Edvin is now really working with Alexandra Rapaport or Josephine Bornebusch again, it is also not because he has done so before and doesn't want to cut ties with his friends but because they are hugely successful producers as well as widely popular actresses. It' again a smart move.
Why did you write 'YOU' in capitals? To belittle my opinions on the matters? I can have strong opinions, cannot I? Just because I am not Swedish, that does not mean my opinions about filming industry and career management should not be voiced. You do not have to agree with me. And I do not have to agree with you.
Fair enough from your PoV. But looking at the roles he has gotten after YR S1, I think they are kinda similar. I am most excited for ALW, because it is very different. And whether be it the biggest catasthrope movie in Sweden, or a main role in a Netflix teen drama with a cliché plot, does not mean he is leading to a rather artsy career. I have already said they look good on the CV because of those things, but that does not impress me, sorry.
If an actor wants a career filled with different projects and roles, working in different settings, they need to take risks. They need to push for roles in artsy projects. What I see is him playing kinda safe with his career choices. If he wants to be a mainstream actor while taking roles in five similar Swedish crime shows, it is okay, of course he can. I am just basing my opinon because he said he wanted to go beyond that, and I can see a huge potential for him. And of course, my opinion is nothing on his behalf.
And how do you know him to talk about his career like that? You sent an ask talking about his career as if you have talked to him personally, and now you are telling me that I should not talk about his career because I know nothing? It is the same, don't you think? We all have opinions here. And I do not need to watch the roles he has played when he was a kid. I am commenting about his future career.

A bit late for this because I took the app off my phone for a while and missed the event (I was going to make a bingo this year but oh well) but here are my reactions to the 2024 gmmtv trailers, from most to least anticipated.
On Sale: I have liked every ghost themed drama I have ever watched. I adore Jan. I think while this appears very silly and over the top, it has the potential to have very poignant moments, and I'm holding out for some class commentary through News character 🤞
Pluto's Love: Namtan! Film! Sapphic! Drama! I am very excited! Some hesitancy is felt because I'm always anxious about the treatment of disability in media, so I hope it's not patronizing or disrespectful to the blind community. 🤞
Ploys Yearbook: finally another female led drama. I have high hopes for this, even if it seems like it's retreading plots from other recent gmmtv dramas such as Warp Effect
Kidnap: the plot looks relatively fresh and dramatic. It seems up my alley. Ohm seems to be typecast now.
My Golden Blood: I am really excited for this, corny as it looks and all. A genre romance with Neo and Mond in evil roles, plus a plot pulled straight out of a pulp romance? Sign me up
My Love Mix Up: I'm a little torn on this one, but more positive than negative. I really love Kieta Hatsukoi, and I'm not sure the type of over the top humour and acting from Aoki will translate very well into a thai series. That being said, both Gemini and Fourth are very talented young actors and I think even if not as iconic as the original, their performances will still be enjoyable and heartfelt.
Ossans Love Thailand: another remake? And then another Japanese series but it's a sequel to the thai remake? I'm confused, I think I misunderstood something. I do however have a strong bias towards seeing Earth and Mix together on my screen, I think they act very well together. I also really loved Au Kornprom's directing for MSP
Enigma 2: I guess I need to get my ass moving and watch the first one. The trailer was very artsy
Wandee Gooday: I'm not super interested in the plot based on what we got in the trailer, but I screamed twice, once when I saw Drake and once when I saw Ploy. I love both actors, and I had thought Drake had quit to pursue acting in America so I was pleasantly surprised. I know In Sarin can act well because of Miracle of Teddy Bear (which you all missed out on and should have watched, it was excellent). Also, the scene at the end when he has to stop sex cause he got a cramp from holding his leg up was genuinely funny and relatable. Golf directing is a bonus.
Summer Night: I am a bit letdown, because I initially thought they were breaking up the CPs to put Dunk and Phuwin together in a bl and that would open up so many storytelling avenues for them and other actors, but that seems not to be the case. Regardless, this looks cute and fluffy and I am tentatively interested.
High School Frenemy: it wouldnt be a gmm line up without a homoerotic tale about 2 enemies in some sort of dark school setting. The trailer doesn't give one much to go on, it's a lot of very repetitive fighting scenes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the female characters to get some good scenes which showcase their acting abilities as well as the male characters.
Only Boo: let the record show 'boo' is the most annoying form of endearment in English, why did they translate it this way? The main character is pretty annoying, but to me the trailer got more interesting as it went on, so it should be fun at any rate, and Louis and Book are always nice to see
My Precious: still haven't bothered to watch the movie
The Interest: Yayas character looks wonderful and compelling. Brights looks like a fucking creep, though incidentally those are the characters I think he is best at playing, so hey
The Trainee: I just don't like office settings, I find them uninteresting and a lot of the formalities and etiquette of offices seems really silly and pointless to me. This trailer won major points for seeming to feature a wlw couple, so I'll watch for them anyways, and I got really excited to hear Sizzy so there's that.
We Are: I could barely get through the trailer, this looked really bland to me. I like most of the actors involved so I'm willing to be pleasantly suprised, but I'm not expecting much
Overall, even though there are 7 to 9 series I would say I'm looking forward to, I'm really disappointed overall. A lot of the series are really bland to me this year, so I'm hoping I'm more excited by Pt 2 whenever that is. I want roles for Khao, First and Fah :(
Roles for Mild too, though I know she is a freelancer and not under gmm

OCTOBER 8TH HORROR WATCH
My animal (2023)
Tumblr media
Full moon
Sis already bleeding
Old ass tv. I know it's not the past
Old film beauty n the beast shot
Heather has bounced
Into the snow. Into the night
The love of a woman
I for one think all credits should be red
Go into the house
Oh it is the past 🤷🏿‍♀️
Muscle woman
Them weights old as shit my dad used to have a set like that 🤣🤣
Man into wolf
The set design is legit lots of info in the room here
Oh mom isn't dead just maimed?? Now permeantly ill?
Trans or just trying to get on the hockey team? The eternal question
We had them fire pokers too
These set designers in my old house n shit
Shes out of high school, lives at home
Now amandla looks exceptionally modern in dress n hair style
Was that supposed to be canine like?
She does have s job
She's a professional skater?
Dude ditched in the snow WILD ain't no taxis there
Not hiding it
Hiding what?
Another nose bleed
Good big sis
Amandala invites her out
The mom is lamenting she isn't a girly girl so she is stuck in a house of boys
Midnight timeline for full moon?? Seems arbitrary i don't think moons have a 12 hour timeline
Out in the car no control over when to come back
Doing drugs
Super safe
11:30 casio alarm
Weird non casino visit just like hanging out while one person gambles
No smoke anywhere so not realistic
Lots of face bleeding
Horror movie woman screeching over growling over howling
Off into the woods
Now she is wolf
Lots of red being utilized
Lol they both came early to train and both got kicked out by the boys
Only thing in town is an ice rink
Always intrigued by the forward but closeted individual
They own a diner?
They use they chained up method
Lol weird sex dreams
Mandala nekkid but not her?
The twins have perfect hair
Amandala clocked the scratches every where
The locks are on the outside huh
Seems like mom didn't know about him before they got married
Then got bitter-er after the incident
But also she seems sick sick not just booze sick
One of the boys have an attitude problem but also it appears they are starving themselves possibly
A bit
There's a bunch of eggs all the time. It's standard American breakfast but it's also it's a large amount of eggs instead of traditional American tv breakfast which has too much of everything
Like 87% egg meal
Ok correct says she can try out
She drives mandala to her ice skating
🤣 dam yo mama suck here 's a free nacho sorry about your shiity life
Dad is sick too he's old
She crying
Oh mandala isn't a muscle lady which is her type lol
Try outs
Mandala boyfriend is uh like 30
She lets the girl distract her from her tryout
Can i say i fucking hate this trope?
I prefer when it's family drama, cumalative of course but it's just better to have an unforeseeable family situation arise than this shit
I just hate it , as a compartmentalizer it seems so unrealistic to have something screw up everything you been working for just because you didn't focus for an hour and process it later
Like GROW UP
Yes very depressing nothing to do town
Not these child twins with a fake ID
They're not only literally in middle school, they look younger than they are
I guess it's not full moon so they're at hers
Artsy 80's synth sex scene with not exactly bisexual lighting because of the use of reds and black
More growling
Pep talk
Moon anger
I tried to be alone
Rick's friend is rich
Ironically her mom is the only one in the family who is not a dog
Getting the cold shoulder gay panic
To go back to the boys who idea of fun is to speculate on milfs in front of their girlfriend
Classy
Breakup! 💔
Screaming crying and suddenly mom is of use! Mom can talk you through a breakup
That's a fancy vest my dude
Leather like panels?? On the puffer vest
Where can i cop old man?
Down he goes
Whole house is crying
Separately
Burn, no hospital
Ah he reverted to wolff form in death
Big ass wolf for little man
Usually you don't see a whole family
I guess you still don't because the kids are in the prehiphery
I get most of the stories are always about navigating and if you have a whole family then it's not a struggle you have infurstructure
But you literally don't have to always make it a coming of age alagory
Family fight
Boy who knows blames her lesbianism as the cause of fathers death
She runs off
Blood moon
Changing at midnight is convenient tbh
Lol now she bought to start a fight
Lol thought they were going to have her eat all of them like lol how could she come back from that
What does that mean in this context?
Petty argument here
Party city makeup but it's 80's aesthetic
Mom sobers up enough to handle her emotional break downs and wash away the tears
Nice nuance frankly
To have an all wrecked parent or a only fun/ good when manic or high parent
Instead of a relapse/ recovery parent who is inconsistent
Which is the more common. More interesting. More nuanced situation, more interesting and more realistic
Oh no first heart break looks the guy and books, lol

An Incredible Long Couple of Weeks. Diary of a Big Ole Gay.
Hey Whores, this is going to be a really long post because I may not have the energy to finish this this week.
Tumblr media
So I guess I haven't done one of these in about two weeks and a lot of that is me being very busy. Last week of March I was working on like fifteen million different articles and videos and other content creation thingies and the first week of April literally started with my co-worker HAVING A MENTAL BREAK AND LEAVING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LITERAL COUNTRY.
Tumblr media
(i'm posting a funny GIF but I'm actually kinda pissed)
so instead of having a lot of great help to ease into running a full ass kitchen by myself doing 70 heads a day. I was doing this with exactly one other person doing the bare minimum to help me. It was a lot of hard work, and of course it went great. But I was extremly exhausted.
I also didn't watch that many queer films because of it.
but lets get into it.
Tumblr media
Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) dir. John Huston
OK so I don't remember a lot about any of these films because I watched this one in particular, *checks notes* the 27th of last month. Yeah theres a reason why theres no date on this one.
So this one I think is based on a book or something and features Marlon Brando being a CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL. oh also he stays right in that closet.
Tumblr media
(god this gif is something else. so creepy)
Hes like yeah I'm going to spend this entire movie staring at this naked guys ass, (yeah I'm not going to explain the plot your'll either love this movie or hate it but you can't say it doesn't have a plot), but I ain't going to act on it. I'm just going to fight with my beautiful neglected wife who beats my ass for beating her horse.
See the relationship is super toxic but its liz taylor and Marlon Brando so its also the hottest thing ever.
anyway lot of repressed homos in the background of the entire rest of the plot. One of the more fun dramas I watched cause it was MESSY!
Tumblr media
Flesh (1968) dir. Paul Morrissey
ok so Flesh is one of those weird cineme verite movies that Morrissey made and it is very artsy and very gay but there isn't actually any guy on guy stuff. The main actor spends most of his time naked, and some of that is like eroticized but also its kinda meant to desexualize nudity. Or rather the film is using casual nudity as a way to lampshade the way we objectify people because after we see this long scene were hes just laying in bed with his dick out (relatable), we get a 5 minutes scene of him starting his day buck ass naked feeding his 1 year old real daughter a muffin. they actually use that as one of the posters
Tumblr media
so like yeah hes naked but hes clearly not erotised in that moment in fact even though the main character is a hustler he never actually has gay sex on screen. His only client is a man who wants to draw him for like classical sculpture. Hes someone whose literally objectified scene for his body and not as a living person.
OMFG am I a film critic or something.
anyway this is another pretty cool film and especially something gay people should watch even through there isn't that much PDA.
Tumblr media
Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) dir. Toshio Matsumoto
ok first look at this iconic photo.
Pretty this follows a bunch of transwoman in like Tokyo just honestly vibing and being faggot punks. We love, we stan, we support.
theres a lot to enjoy about this film and honestly just iconic trans woman you need to watch this. oh also all these ladies are straight so theres no gay kissing.
Tumblr media
My Hustler (1966) dir. Andy Warhol, Chuck Wein
NOTE: This is a clip from the 1961 SPORTS THRILLER "The Hustler" but also this is pretty good dupe to the experience of My Hustler
Yeah so My Hustler is the story of a rich gay bringing a gay whore for his vacation and then having his fag hag friend and then the hustler friend show up and they all get in to this contest about whos going to fuck him. So I guess more objectification of men through the queer lens. Noone actually fucks him and its a lot of naturalistic dialogue. Its warhol you get it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Children's Hour (1961) dir. William Wyler
Ok so Childrens Hour is about Audrey Hepburn and her GAL PAL Shirley McClaine who run a school together. They are in fact just roommates but doesn't stop snot nose little brats from spreading rumors that like she totally saw Mrs. Hepburn drowning in pussy. So yeah they have there lives ruined and there not even dykes da fuck. Its very Tea and Sympathy in that regard about how homophobia hurts those that arn't even faggots. Y'know the innocent. /s
except it turns out that Shirley McClaine is in fact like a totally LESBIAN HAROLD. and this was the push she needed to admit how fucking gay she is for audrey hepburn, (which like we get it girl it audrey), oh and then she fucking kills herself. Thanks I hate it.
The movie up to that points pretty good.
Tumblr media
The Leather Boys (1964) dir. Sidney J. Furie
ok so this is another British New Wave movie and it manly follows this newly married couple. And like the wife Dot, is literally the worst fucking person. She spends all her money on her hair which 1. He doens't like and 2. Doesn't even look good on her. She doesn't have a job and she doesn't keep the house. And then she won't move into his mom's house after his dad fucking dies and his mom literally can't take care of herself which like sorry girl I get if you don't like your mother-in-law but um kinda a consequence of marrying someone at some point you kinda have to deal with there parents getting old and dying. Oh also shes cheating on him. SPOILERS.
Anyway so they spend most of the time seperated while this guy sleeps with his best friend.... in like the same bed. hahaha not like in a gay way that would be ..... gay.
Also I'm totally sure his best friend isn't like a faggot or something.
Yeah, basically this guy was sleeping next to a gay guy the whole time and everytime his friend was like "omg babe lets ditch your looser wife, (can confirm she sucks), and move to america together" that he meant it in like a gay way.
and so the dude just fucking leaves. Honestly I would try sucking dick just once if I was him. You guys have a great relationship and your wifes a bitch.

Advise & Consent (1962) dir. Otto Preminger
The Best Man (1964) dir. Franklin J. Schaffner
just going to throw these together. Basically there both about some future were the president wants to nominate some dude and people are like ew no. also some random other person is getting blackmailed for being a faggot in the war. Yeah both of these movies have like the same exact plot.
I like The Best Man a little bit more but there both kinda awful. Also Betty White is in the first one and SHES A SENATOR. yaaaas girl.

Hello hello my lovelies! Happy Monday! Welcome back a new episode of Movie Monday where I poorly review movies for your entertainment! Haha how did your week start? How was the weekend? I hope everyone got to relax enough and had some fun too!
Today I bring you guys "Within", also known as "Crawlspace" in some places! Now now, what can we say about this movie that doesn't give out way too much! I will say, it's not been of my favorites. As a horror movie, it doesn't really fulfill the "scary" part which is what I personally look for in horror movies. There were some pseudo-jumpscares, but they weren't shocking enough and felt really forced in there. Lots of things become sooo predictable too after you figure out what's going on- BUT it did unsettle me a lot, so I'll give it that! I will admit I checked under my bed and inside my closet before going to sleep haha
Acting wise -besides the fact I can't act!- nothing really sticks out, I would say all in all pretty average but somewhat well delivered characters. There is some kind of chemistry going on there, and it was nice to finally see a step mother and a daughter actually get along!!!
I would say 90% of the movie happens just inside the house so don't expect a lot of flashy scenes or eye catching backgrounds either, if you like film making and are looking for nicely made shots, this is definitely not an artsy movie for you to watch!
In my very humble opinion, I'd recommend watching this movie while hanging out with friends and to not take it too seriously. I only really woke up properly for it maybe half an hour in! So hang in there!
Overall, not a bad movie, just not the kinda movie that will scare you off your seat. Very unsettling, the *dude* is very well achieved, I think! He does give the creeps a bit! Definitely not an award winning film but good enough to kill time on a Friday night!
Who would you watch "Within" with? You think you'll be able to figure out the movie on record time? If you watch, let me know how long it takes you to realize what's actually going on~.
Anyway! I hope this week treats all of you well! Please take care and make sure to stay healthy and energized, eat well, drink water and take breaks! Go easy on yourself, alright? You're doing great already! All the love, my pretty birdies! -Yura ♡

Conversation
RP meme from the "American Psycho" film (trigger heavy)
"God, I hate this place. It's a chick's restaurant."
"Are you freebasing or what ?"
"They don't have a good bathroom to do coke in."
"You're a fucking ugly bitch. I wanna stab you to death and play around with your blood."
"I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine."
"I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older."
"And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and may be you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there."
"Don't wear that outfit again."
"Come on. You're prettier than that."
"You don't like this, I take it."
"Do you know anything about Sri Lanka ?"
"This is crazy ! You're a fool.
"I mean, can you talk to these people or something ? I'm not getting anywhere.
"You're fucking me, and we haven't made plans."
"I'm on a lot of lithium."
"What could you possibly be up to tonight ?"
"Wear something fabulous."
"I just want a child."
"How on Earth did you get a reservation there ?"
"It looks so soft."
"Impressive. Very nice."
"You're sweating."
"Why don't you get a job ?"
"You got a negative attitude. That's what's stopping you."
"You gotta get your act together. I'll help you."
"You reek of shit. Do you know that ?"
"I don't have anything in common with you."
"I have all the characteristics of a human being-- flesh, blood, skin, hair-- but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust."
"Something horrible is happening inside of me, and I don't know why."
"My nightly bloodlust has overflowed into my days."
"I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy."
"I think my mask of sanity is about to slip."
"Mistletoe alert."
"It's a Vietnamese potbellied pig. They make darling pets."
"How you been ? Workaholic, I suppose ? Haven't seen you in a while."
"I like to dissect girls."
"Did you know I'm utterly insane ?"
"I've got a tanning bed at home. You should look into it."
"Do you have a dog ? A little chow or something ?"
"He was completely naked and standing up on the table."
"Where do I send the bastard ?"
"I hope I'm not being cross-examined here."
"It's just strange. One day, someone's walking around, to work, alive, and then-- Nothing. People just disappear."
"That's a very fine chardonnay you're drinking."
"You have a very nice body."
"Not quite blonde, are you ? More dirty blonde."
"Don't you wanna know what I do ?"
"How much did you pay for it ?"
"I don't want you to get drunk, but that's a very fine chardonnay you're not drinking."
"It was too artsy, too intellectual."
"You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument."
"Look at the camera."
"If they have a good personality and they are not great looking, then who fucking cares ?"
"There are no girls with good personalities."
"A good personality consists of a chick with a little hard body who will satisfy all sexual demands without being too slutty about things and who will essentially keep her dumb fucking mouth shut."
"The only girls with good personalities, who are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or talented-- though God knows what the fuck that means-- are ugly chicks."
"Listen, what about dinner ?"
"I've seen you looking at me. I've noticed your hot body. Don't be shy."
"I've gotta return some video tapes."
"I never knew you smoked."
"I'm not sure, but I don't think dyslexia is a virus."
"It's a fucking milligram of sweetener. I wanna get high off this, not sprinkle it on my fucking oatmeal."
"Can you keep it down ? I'm trying to do drugs."
"Sorry, dude. Steroids."
"I'm into, uh, well, murders and executions, mostly."
"So, where do you work out ?"
"You think I'm dumb, don't you ?"
"There's something sweet about you."
"Would you like to accompany me to dinner ? That is, if you're not doing anything."
"Let's not think about what I want. How about anywhere you want ?"
"You look great. Very fit."
"You can always be thinner, look better."
"What do you really wanna do with your life ? Just briefly, summarize. And don't tell me you enjoy working with children, okay ?"
"Well, I'd like to travel and maybe go back to school, but I don't really know. I'm at a point in my life where there seems to be so many possibilities, but I'm-- I don't know-- I'm just so unsure."
"Do you have a boyfriend ? "
"Are you seeing anyone ? I mean, seriously ?"
"It's me. Don't try to hide."
"I know I have a tendency to get involved with unavailable men."
"I think if you stay, something bad will happen. I think I might hurt you. You don't wanna get hurt, do you ?"
"I don't wanna get bruised."
"I'm not so sure about this. I had to go to Emergency after last time."
"This won't be anything like last time. I promise."
"This is nicer than your other apartment."
"If you had a platinum card, she'd give you a blowjob."
"Do you have any coke ? Or Halcyon ?"
"Let's not get lewd. I'm in no mood for a lewd conversation."
"Are you telling me you've never gotten it on with a girl?"
"No. I'm not a lesbian. Why would you think I would be into that ?"
"You're making me feel weird."
"You actually listen to Whitney Houston ?"
"Not the face!"
"My need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale cannot be corrected, but I have no other way to fulfill my needs."
"You're inhuman."
"I'm in touch with humanity."
"I know my behavior can be erratic sometimes."
"What do you want me to do ? What is it that you want ?"
"If you really wanna do something for me, then stop making this scene right now."
"I'm leaving. I've assessed the situation, and I'm going."
"Drop the weapon ! Drop it now !"
"I guess I've killed maybe... 20 people."
"I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little."
"I just had to kill a lot of people !"
"I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it... this time."
"I mean, I guess I'm a pretty sick guy."
"I think you should go now."
"What did you say, you dumb bitch ?"
"Stop sounding so fucking sad."
"I'm not going anywhere unless we have a reservation."
"Keep your shirt on. Maybe lose the suspenders."
"Just fucking call them. Give me the phone. I'll do it."
"Such a boring, spineless lightweight."
"Now, where do we have reservations at ?"
"What are you so fucking zany about ?"
"I'm just a happy camper!"
"I need a scotch."
"All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused, and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed."
"My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape."
"My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself."
"This confession has meant... nothing."

I've just watch season 3 of Master of None.
And from episode one, from the first scene, i got the impression that this would be different, the aspect ration, the camera being still and focusing on one shot at the time and the grainy look, combined with the slow pace and use of blocking, maybe too different from what came before and can be a shock if you binge-watch this, basically, we are not in kansas anymore, Toto.
And i understand if some people dislike it, hate it or find it boring, it's not for everyone and i don't mean it in a artsy way, like "if you don't enjoy this, you are an uncultured swine" but it's for a specific audience.
Episode 1 was great, got too cheerful, like, everything is going too great, even in the first half, when they got their sperm donor, everything was going great and i just waited for the kick and...it got to the ending, that ending set the tone for the rest of the episodes of this season and i love it, it took me until the half of the episode to get use to the rhythm and the lack of comedy of before.
Episode 2 and 3 follow the fallout of two events, the miscarriage and the cheating, ending in a sad note, the selling of the house, this episodes were more heavy, but i love the cinematography, some shots were like a photo and me, being a amateur photographer, like to see them, but if i got the be honest, the third was the weakest for me, i like the second one more, with all that happened in that episode, although not a fan of how Alicia find out of the cheating but the scene were they argue, i got anxiety of how it felt, i kinda can forgive it.
And episode 4, that one broke me, i think i will make a list of the stuff that make me feel emotions this episode:
-When Alicia hear the kid yelling in the restaurant and instead of going for the cliche "having kids becomes annoying" she says "i want that" she knows what she might deal with a kid in the future and accept it.
-The first time being a failure, when she was told only 5 embryons and then all was lost, she left the bag of the floor and leave the screen to cry, i cry.
-She trying for the second time after the talk with her mother, with more motivation and in one of the check-ups, she seems so tired, going so far and almost wanting to quit, that felt too real...
-When she got the news of having now 13 embryons, even though 4 didn't make it, she got 5 good ones and ready.
-The ending, when she got the news of being pregnant
Also, i check wikipedia and this episode is 3 years after episode 3, i didn't notice.
And episode 5, was a weird finale for me, i mean, Denise and Alicia got kids and new partners and they cheat on them and then all may be an illusion, episode 4 was my favorite but episode 5 have my favorite line of the season:
Being successful is like being in heaven and...when the success goes away, it's like somebody comin' up behind you, tapping on your shoulder saying, "you gotta go to hell for a little while" it's like, hell wouldn't be so bad if i didn't know what heaven felt like
And i feel like you can apply that to Alicia in episode 4, in the opposite way, she went through hell to get into heaven (getting pregnant) and it is great for her, because we know how bad she had it to get there.
But anyway, i go into the thread in Reddit of the episode, to see what everyone thought and about that ending, some give good points to why it is an illusion, like the first scene being Denise in the office and before it cut to black, there's some rewind, how the ending it looks like it run out of film then the bed done and she was alone smoking.
After giving it some thoughts, i agree, it was all an illusion, which make it more sad, episode 4 ended with Alicia at her highest point, episode 5 ended with Denise at the lowest point, her second book was a failure, according to the quote i put, she feels like her job is hell, she is alone and she never got over Alicia

💖👀🖊💻🤔 for the fic asks? -megs 💙
megs my lovely hello how's life treatin' ya'? 🤠💖
fucking sweet lineup right here, hell yeah, thank u for sending these in, let's go
💖 What do you like most about your own writing?
i told Noah (here) that it was visuals. but also!! my writing, at least when im writing it, feels very... lighthearted and sort of like an inside joke. excluding ofc the angsty pieces i write mid-breakdown uwu
i started letting loose and imbuing some more "personality" and a bit of my own sense of humor into my fics, instead of trying to seem serious and artsy like i was at the beginning. which i think is fun! i write for vibes and aesthetics, not much more than that, so making myself (and hopefully others) smile makes me feel v good about my stuff.
👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?
damn......... i do..... i think they're boring though ashfasf
there's WOMF which i've talked about elsewhere and shan't bore you with given its NSFW nature and the fact that just thinking about it makes me Seethe sgdhfghdñgh
there's also Luz this,, gargantuan, nonsense thing. lashton strangers to lovers about,,, nothing much skjdhs. this is one of those "no plot, just scenes" fics and, though i write a lot of those, this one bored me so it's been Shelved. forever. probably.
and!! Ephemeral Eternities which I'm theoretically still working on but i'm eyeing suspiciously. another lashton strangers to lovers from my lashton-only days. this one's about the western perception of love and how it's almost soiled our ability to enter and mantain romantic relationships. that one's hot but still shelved and in dire need of a rewrite (and an outline, boy does it need an outline). more hope than Luz though!
🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
“My own personal hell,” Michael mutters under his breath before getting up to raid the kitchen. Luke watches them stomp away and thinks, not for the first time, that Michael goes through life as if they’re taking on the role of a mean giant in a play. It’s fucking hilarious.
💻 Do you do research for your fics? What’s the deepest dive you’ve done?
sometimes! usually when referencing Real Life stuff, otherwise i bullshit my way through it and hope it sticks
the deepest dive probably goes to a WIP i don't really have a name for where i did a fuckton of research about different college programs and film studies and god knows what else.
the deepest dive pertaining a Posted Fic was thanks to no other than ITNR. i referenced,, So Many albums, i went through so many tracklists and release dates and shit... wack... i also had to look for a recipe (for no fucking reason cause the scene it appears in is Brief and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things) and i cross referenced so many recipe blogs, bro. AND there's that whole thing about shrimp colors.
cause, okay, there's exactly One Line in the fic where i describe Luke's eyes in what could be considered extreme and unnecessary detail but y'know that thing where we all thought shrimps could see MORE colors than we could? well i referenced that and thEN, right when i was drafting this shit, it comes out saying that shrimp actually see LESS colors than us so i had to read scIENTIFIC PAPERS ABOUT MANTIS SHRIMP'S EYES AND THEIR COLOR RECEPTION. ALL TO CHANGE THE FUCKING LINE IN THE END KJGHAJFG >:((
🤔 What is the hardest part of writing fic?
the plot, for fucking sure.
i usually have a couple of scenes i really want to write and i Do, i write them and then connect the dots, but then it's a little annoying cause i don't know how to connect the dots so>:(
as i've said,, im a Scene writer not really a Plot writer. i understand and probably can execute a plot to some level of success but it bores me to have all these middle scenes leading to something else. i just want to be there! why do i need to set up stuff! aaaa!!
ofc i get the relevance of buildup and scene setting and giving clues about shit but broooOooOoOOoOooOOoOoo im bored and impatient let's move it along pls
ask game thingy
