I just finished watching Glass Onion for the third time so now you get to hear my rant about it but the details are out of order in the timeline because I’m lazy
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
When Miles lifts the gun off of Duke, we can actually see it pre-Blanc explaining it. The scene where the two hug you can see Miles take the gun and slip it into the back of his jeans.
Following the gun thing, we, the viewers actually SEE the gun itself (pre-Blanc’s explanation) when Miles goes back to the mini bar to put it in the ice bucket. Although it’s kind of hard to see it’s very clearly a gun but our eyes manipulate our minds into thinking it’s a drink because it is indeed a minibar.
They show how Miles places the drink in Dukes hand pre Blanc’s explanation but quickly distract us with the groups dynamic and Birdie.
Phillip is skeptical of Helen when she asks for Blanc, we can assume that he and Blanc have had negative run ins with people from jobs. Also Phillip might be judging Helen’s character, who she is, because he doesn’t want to put Blanc into a situation where he’s in true danger. He’s a detective not Batman.
Birdies mask at the beginning of the movie at the boat is just fucking chains across her face in diamond pattern.
Blanc doesn’t have a gag reflex when the dude in the white suit puts Miles “covid vax” down his throat. (Bc he’s 🏳️‍🌈)
Andi, when she first comes up with the idea for Alpha and starts working with Miles, is wearing dark colors. The dark blue pinstripe suit, her completely black ensamble when we see her at the Glass Onion (the bar). But when she’s challenging Miles she’s wearing both Black and white. At the trial she’s wearing a light almost off white suit. Why is this important? Because what color is Helen wearing when she shuts miles down? White. The color white is, in itself, a color that symbolizes Miles downfall.
Connecting back to the white idea, Whiskey is wearing all white (her bathing suit) when she reveals crucial information about Miles giving her the Taurus necklace for her birthday. (Which leads to his downfall when Blanc puts 2+2 together that he killed Andi)
“Im really bad at dumb things” -Blanc. The reason he didn’t catch on to what was going on with Miles earlier was because Miles is stupid. Miles is so dumb that he fucking befuddled Blanc because Miles is so stupid.
Blanc isn’t uncomfortable about his arousal around Birdie when she put her legs up on him while Miles talks about being ‘Disrupters’. He’s uncomfortable because he’s GAY and has a BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND.
There’s a bunch of owls and small trinkets of birds in Birdies room.
The movie, at the very beginning, with Miles mystery invitation box thing hints at where the envelope is hidden. The fibonacci sequence on the box has the center blocked out in black, where we will later see in the film is red which is where Miles is hiding the envelope. For fucks sake the movie even goes out of its way, with Dukes mother, to point out the sequence. (“The first one’s a fibonacci sequence” -Dukes mom).
During the dinner Whiskey is wearing the same golden chain body jewelry that Birdie was wearing earlier at the pool. So this could mean two things: 1. They have the same chain and 2. Whiskey borrowed the chain from Birdie.
Now connecting to my first point about the chain jewelry above. The reason why Miles likes Whiskey, despite her sleeping with him for the sake of Dukes channel, is because Whiskey reminds him of younger Birdie. Birdie even talks to Peg about how dazzled and amazed Miles was when he first met her and how she wishes it was like that again. Then when they’re smashing the glass sculptures, the first thing Whiskey smashes is a sculpture of a bird. Hence smashing Miles perception of her as another person he can use like he used Birdie.
“You have him turn around so he can have deniability” -Aaron Burr in Hamilton (Basically what Blanc was thinking when he walked out of the room)
When Blanc is trying to light his cigar in the “Smokeless garden” the reason the alarms go off is because because just the smoke and small flames from Blanc’s cigar could cause “another Hindenburg”.
The ending scene with Helen and Blanc after Blanc asks her if she’s ready to go home, Helen’s sitting stance mimics the Mona Lisa. Miles said “It all started with her” in reference to his success being inspired by the Mona Lisa. But it all ended with Helen and her stance at the end mimicking the Mona Lisa is meant to represent that. The beginning and end of Miles Bron.
Blanc refers to alchol as offering Helen “some courage”. Ofc as we all know alcohol is commonly referred to as “Liquid Courage”.
We should’ve known Miles was the killer for this simple reason: The glass he handed to Duke. Duke dying holding Miles’s glass is literally like a signed note. Duke died with Miles name literally written on the crime scene.

How to keep your mind sharp
Tumblr media
As we age, it is natural for our cognitive abilities to decline. However, there are certain measures that can be taken to keep our minds sharp and delay or prevent cognitive decline. In this article, we will explore some of the best ways to keep your mind sharp.
Exercise Regularly
Exercise has been shown to have numerous benefits for both the body and the mind. In terms of cognitive function, regular exercise has been linked to improved memory, attention, and overall cognitive performance. Exercise has also been shown to increase the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes the growth and survival of brain cells.
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week. This can include activities such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling.
Engage in Mental Stimulation
Just like the body, the brain needs to be challenged in order to stay healthy and sharp. Engaging in mental stimulation can help improve cognitive function and delay cognitive decline. Activities such as reading, solving puzzles, playing games, and learning new skills or languages can all be effective ways to keep the brain active.
It’s important to vary the types of mental stimulation you engage in. For example, if you typically enjoy crossword puzzles, try switching to Sudoku or other types of puzzles. This will challenge different parts of the brain and keep things interesting.

I took my mask off and I fought it begrudgingly but it’s now gone!
I am not High Functioning, I pretend to be! I am autistic! We are a DID system. Trying to learn how to function without a mask!
We are highly intelligent, but we are not able to take care of basic need. Like eating, hygiene, meds etc! But we are working on it! Think of RDJ’s Sherlock.
People compared us to Walt Disney, George Lucas, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Einstein, Hawking, Newton, Libenitz, Comte, Neil Gaiman, JRR Tolkien, Mozart, Bach & David Bowie. Just to name drop a few! (To our main self)!
It took longer than a week to finally come back to ourselves but we feel much better.
My conclusion: we are a 10th dimensional being (all realities meet here and overlap and somehow we can communicate with each other directly, some can take and relinquish control)!
We are however the same person, we switch into modes: Musician, Artist, Performer/Comedian/MC, Boss Bitch, and some of these overlap and some don’t!
The main personality is Boss Bitch, Artist, and writer. But last night we played keyboard and it was 2am when we started and by the time we looked at the clock again it was 5am, but no fucking way did that much time pass!
So obviously musician is on its own mode, separated from the “main” that took control when we needed to escape!
Since we understand all languages spoken, we think receptive multilingualism comes from all the alt modes and we haven’t figured out how to activate speech without training ourselves the specific sentence we want to say fluently!
The weird quirk is we can invent new ones easily! Both written and spoken, but learning how to speak has been conflicting with an aspect of our personality which we concurred in English! We don’t care if we fuq it up in English, we just let the word vomit falls! But when it comes to other languages we halt ourself completely and outright! Insecure about tripping and causing international incidents from saying the wrong catastrophic thing!
We masked to be normal on high alert at all times so that we could join the Army in 2005! We survived for 7 years 11 months and 23 days before we said fuck it and gave up.
We did our best struggling our way to find ourselves again while obtaining our BFA degree in Animation and Visual Effects! We healed a lot of our emotional childhood trauma during our last year (2021)!
And as we struggled to find ourself this year, we put things in the box to be complete at a later date when we were ready for it (this is what we do all the time actually) but now we have ripped off the mask!
We still don’t have a clear definition of ourself but we have a plan on how to make ourselves happy and I’m so excited to finally be free!!
We are on the cusp of losing house and home, starvation and we are happy! Things are about to turn around for the better! We just feel it in our bones 🦴!!

A lot of people only think about taxes when it’s time to file them. But if you want to manage your money well, you should have a tax plan that works all year round. A sound tax plan can give you distinct advantages. This way, you can pay the right amount of taxes, lower costs, and resolve any outstanding issues.

Oh, yes. Ohhhh, yes.
Bloganuary writing promptWhat would you do if you won the lottery?View all responses This. THIS. This this this. This is my all-time favourite question. I love to day dream, and all the more I love to day dream about what could be. Because that is what I think playing the lotto represents to an awful lot of people: Possability. Hope. Change. Which I find bitterly ironic in some ways, because…
