Dahomey (2024) dir. Mati Diop
Mati Diop (Atlantics) just won the Golden Bear at Berlin and shouted “I stand with Palestine!” as she accepted her award. Her film deals with the returning of plundered royal treasures from the African Kingdom of Dahomey from Paris to the present day Republic of Benin.

Javert, the world is not merely black and white.
[Image ID: a drawing split into three vertical diagonal panels. The top and the bottom panels are a shade of dark blue. The top panel, written in white, reads: “He gave me my life/He gave me freedom.” The bottom panel, also written in white, reads: “I should have perished by his hand.” The word “perished” is written in red.
The middle panel shows an up-close drawing of Javert’s eyes. Blood is matted across the corner of his face. His eyes are blue and looking towards the sky with a frantic look. He is crying. His skin is pale, his hair dark. He is engulfed in shadows from the night sky as well as light from the moon above. /End ID]

Okay but I just saw the little mermaid and the amount of times I teared up because her voice is just so incredible. Like when she was singing the end of part of your world and her hand reaches up through hole in the cavern and she sounds so emotional. Like damn okay

new wilmon-ifyable song! ready to be re-imagined and reinterpreted (because tbh wilmon is far from as grim as the thing I think the song is actually about but... we're interpreting here, okay) for those sad, Wille-being-indecisive-and-a-mess-and-hurting-Simon-in-the-process, on-and-off-while-painfully-in-love feelings
I love you more than any man
But something's getting in the way
I do you harm because I can
For the second time today
(from this post)
I ask you for another second chance
But then I drink it all away
(still from this post)
And when I get drunk
You take me home
And keep me save
from harm
I was so delicate when we began
So tender when I spoke your name
But now I'm nothing but a partisan
To my compulsion and my shame
(still from this post)
... yeah no, I'm not okay, actually
