Tell me more about kenstewy and eye contact?

It's actually not even just a Kendall and Stewy thing to be honest, I'm broadly fascinated by the way Kendall avoids eye contact and the different ways people deal with that, because I think it says a lot about certain dynamics, and not even just necessarily dynamics with Kendall. This whole cast is made up of such incredible physical performers, so getting to see them bounce off each other and respond to a behaviour like this is just a lot of fun to unpack.

In particular at the moment, I've been a little obsesed with seeing the parallels between Roman and Logan's physicality, because on the one hand, they're super different – Roman can't sit still, he exudes this energy that somehow manages to be both anxious and overtly confident – but fascinatingly, he often is physical with Kendall in similar ways to Logan.

Everyone knows this one, I think:

But I'd add:

And in particular because it's when Kendall's avoiding eye contact:

I could ramble about this a lot, but I'll spare you, haha, and just say that I think it's this sort of fascinating embodiment of how Roman has learnt gesture and physicality from his father, and that I think it's especially pertinent that in all these examples, it's when Roman's feeling a sort of baser emotion – anger and self-righteousness, grief or frustration – where he pivots towards handling his brother in the way their father would.

(Shiv and Stewy beneath the cut)

Interestingly, I think Shiv adopts a part of their dad too in that sense, but I do think it's a pretty different for her. I think especially of that scene in 2.04 where she tells Kendall to look at her:

While I do imagine Logan's said that to Kendall over the years, likely particularly when he was young, I think it carries different weight for Shiv. I think for her, Kendall not looking at her during serious conversations ties deeply to her self-esteem which ultimately means that she associates him not looking at her as him not seeing her. I don't think that's what it is from Kendall's point of view at all, but I do think it kind of ties into that sense of Kendall and Shiv being two sides of the same coin.

Kendall desperately needs his siblings to like him, and Shiv desperately needs them to respect her, and the way that manifests in their particular push-pull is so ripe. I have a lot of thoughts on this more specifically too, haha, but I do think there's this particularly fascinating contrast in this sense where Kendall so desperately wants to see his siblings in s3, particularly at his birthday party, and they pollute that with the letter and the birthday party machinations, and Shiv so desperately wants to truly be seen by them in a way that makes her feel like their equal, and they pollute that through Kendall's insults in 3.02 and then hijacking her moment, through Connor telling her everyone at Waystar was just entertaining her, and through Roman - - well. Everything he did in s3 to her really.

Where Stewy's different again I think really speaks to his character too in the sense that he finds ways to get Kendall to look at him, but it's not through physically moving him like Roman and Logan, or demanding like Shiv, but he tends to chase his gaze. He pushes himself back into Kendall's line of vision.

He does it a few times throughout the seasons, but the most obvious example to me is really in 1.03:

He doesn't even just meet Kendall's gaze, he chases it down in a way that totally affects his posture and physical shape. I think it speaks a lot to Stewy's nature (and to the way Arian is such a brilliant physical performer too), but also his relationship and familiarity to Kendall.

He knows how to meet Kendall where he's at, even when Kendall doesn't really want to be met, and it shows how his charisma and ability to be what and who people need has gotten him to where he is.

It's a fascinating thing to unpack!

#sorry it took me so long to get to this one anon!#it got swallowed up in my inbox for a minute #a v fun one to think about though #this cast is sooo good #and they're all really responsive to each other #which adds so much texture #kendall + logan #kendall + roman #kendall + shiv #logan + roman #kendall x stewy #kendall roy #hbo succession #succession meta #welcome to my ama

idc what people are whining abt, i actually really enjoyed the netflix avatar series. the costume and set design was really beautiful, the effects were great, the performances were great. i think people are weirded out about the pacing and i understand that, but at the same time, they're working on netflix's budget and i think they did a great job utilizing the important material in book 1 to tell as well rounded of a story as they possibly could. and like sure, i get that it was jarring to see them start at the VERY beginning instead of starting w katara and sokka finding aang like the original show does for ex, but like. idk! i think they shouldn't feel obligated to hit every plot point beat for beat and i don't think we lost anything by establishing aang's background early on. actually, every single scene with master gyatso made me fucking bawl lol. aang's loss is soooo much more palpable in this show than the original one imo bc it lingers on that pain a lot more. there were a few story choices that kinda made me scratch my head a bit, like the fact that teo wasn't introduced as part of the new Northern Air Temple population and what effects that had on aang, but i'm really not mad about it. anyways i give it two big thumbs up and i hope it gets renewed for another season

#i hate it when uber fans get uppity bc the thing isn't exactly the same as the thing they love and they go into it w a shit attitude #i chose to be optimistic abt it and i really enjoyed myself watching this season today #also tho like seeing how much fun the cast had working on it and hearing them talk abt how rare this experience is #(the experience of working on a primarily asian and indigenous american casted show)#was like. a once in a lifetime.life changing event for them. and most anything that provides jobs for people of color in the art is a #net good imo #anyways give it a shot if you're curious abt it #i actually bawled so much throughout the whole season lol it made me sooo emotional #zukko and iroh will never fail to get me but the aang and master gyatso stuff also supremely fucked me up #also azula is way more sympathetic very early on this time around and i appreciate them being realistic #abt the fact that having an abusive father like ozai would fuck any child up #avatar the last airbender spoilers #atla spoilers #atla #avatar the last airbender

The Idiot (1951)

#i can fix her #setsuko hara #the idiot #Hakuchi #akira kurosawa #50s #mine #ahhhhhhh this performance was such a breath of fresh air bc in the previous 1959 italian miniseries adaptation i watched they miscast #this character terribly... and honestly that actress was awful. and if you look into it it was nepotism casting but nvm #but setsuko was sooo good here omg.. like she gave everything that was needed like of course the runtime was a limitation but she carried #unhinged but also melancholic and very touching and beautiful.... love

based chilchuck enjoyer, i too love that messed up epic divorce deadbeat dad

HE'S MY SPECIALEST GUY EVER i'm doing a reread rn and like the hindsight of his divorced dad-ness is insane (the way he looks over izutsumi and scolds party members) (i JUST got to the succubus chapter again and like marcille reading his divorcedness to FILTH is crazy)

#asks #studioboner #he was my favorite the first time i read the series because i like how he goes from like just the cute innocent looking half-foot face #to his angery YOU ARE ALL INSANE face with the small pupils #this is the funniest 40 year old man ever he cares so much when he really doesn't want to #this reread was good for my soul though ive always loved all the cast because kui is sooo good at giving everyone fair share attention #marcille's failgirl ways shine so hard .... senshi becoming the caretaker he admired .... laios. oh laios.#dungeon meshi spoilers #just in case

i have decided this year is His Year so i guess i have to learn to draw water and also finalise his outfit designs. smh. the things i do for love.

OC: shaide (he/him)

#my art #my ocs #KatH #dailies #shaide #hes sooo fun to draw ngl... i never draw his arms big enough in these tho. gotta work on that #he is TOO DAMN TALL btw. not the tallest KatH character by a long shot (thats isaya) but shaide is Up There #i think hes thirrrd tallest in the main cast? isa and letei definitely beat him but i think everyone else is 5'10 or shorter #idk if he or letei wears taller shoes tho lmao. but even in their platforms neither of them is as tall as isaya #anyway the year of shaide is off to a good start bc i connected SEVERAL dots about him today... for instance #relevant to the shoe talk #he got the idea for his boots from looking at rauel! and rauel doesnt know that. which is so Chefs Kiss to me considering rauels complexes #and! i had an idea for how to narrow down shaides ending... ive known where his arc leaves him at the end of the story for a while but #i think ive come up with a way to make it even better AND tie it in more to other plot stuff >:o)#and it maintains the kind of bittersweet vibe i wanted + gives him a little more content With Rauel which i think is Needed tbh #anyway yayyy i said i was gonna draw my daily and i did!!! now my mutuals dont have to beat me to death with sticks <3

i've seen the ballad of songbirds and snakes today, it was so so great, way beyond my expectations. definitely my favourite movie from the franchise. i think they did great work transfering the story from books to the big screen, the actors were phenomenal and it was great to hear Lucy Grey's songs. i really appreciate the visual side of tbosas, they did great work distinguishing from thg which take place 64 years later.

#i'm really hyped and have no one to talk about thg :((#tbosas #thg #finally justice for my fave franchise #also casting was sooo good #if anyone would like to talk about the film I'd love to!
