“stay with me”/“always” is inextricably tied to “let me go”/“i can’t”

because when katniss asks peeta to stay with her because she can’t handle the nightmares without him, peeta makes a promise to be there for her always.

so when katniss attempts to end her life because she thinks she’s lost everything, peeta stops her. because even though katniss wants peeta to let her go, to no longer stay with her, he still keeps the promise of always.

Poem of the Day 16/12/22 - 'No, Thank you, John' by Christina Rossetti

I never said I loved you, John

Why will you tease me, day by day,

And wax a weariness to think upon

With always "do" and "pray"?

You know I never loved you, John;

No fault of mine made me your toast:

Why will you haunt me with a face as wan

As shows an hour-old ghost?

I dare say Meg or Moll would take

Pity upon you, if you'd ask:

And pray don't remain single for my sake

Who can't perform that task.

I have no heart? - Perhaps I have not

But then you're mad to take offence

That I don't give you what I have not got:

Use your common sense.

Let bygones be bygones:

Don't call me false, who owed not to be true:

I'd rather answer "No" to fifty Johns

Than answer "Yes" to you.

Let's mar our pleasant days no more,

Song-birds of passage, days of youth:

Catch at to-day, forget the days before:

I'll wink at your untruth.

Let us strike hands as hearty friends;

No more, no less: and friendship's good:

Only don't keep in view ulterior ends,

And points not understood

In open treaty. Rise above

Quibbles and shuffling off and on:

Here's friendship for you if you like; but love,—

No, thank you, John.

#poetry #not my poetry #just something I really like #words #everytime i hear the taylor swift song o think of this #poem of the day

Given my argument that forum culture circa 2000 was, in many respects, a direct response to the shortcomings of trying to use IRC chat as the backbone of a persistent online community, seeing Discord basically evolving into a centralised forum hosting service feels like history repeating in the dumbest possible way.

Spooky Stories - Day 1: Death Becomes Her (1992)

Welcome to day 1 on my movie review series! Wherein all of the films that I review this month, are films that are somewhat linked to this scary season. Kicking off the spooky stories saga we have ‘Death Becomes Her,’ a dark comedy series starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and surprisingly Bruce Willis. Originally receiving Mixed Reviews, the film has since gone on to be considered a cult classic, with it being renowned for its visual effects and its campiness. I’ll try to keep it brief, but essentially in this review I’ll give a summary of what I liked, what I disliked and an overall score out of 10. As a disclaimer I just want to say that everything I say here is my opinion, and this is just a verbalisation of my own thoughts - please though feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions.

To begin with, the acting in the film was phenomenal. Both Madeline (Meryl Streep) and Helen’s (Goldie Hawn) over the top acting with their line delivery really made them feel like a darker version of a typical Renaissance-era Disney villain. Ernest (Bruce Willis) was extremely good as well, and several times in the film I had to keep reminding myself that he was the same guy who played John Mcclane in Die Hard. I know that being as these are seasoned actors, I shouldn’t be so impressed or surprised that they all delivered, but it was absolutely phenomenal. The comedic timing of the film was also brilliant - and quite a few times I found myself laughing at a line being delivered and the literal next shot contradicting said line. I do believe that it was the mixture of the acting and perfect timing that really turned this film into a comedy because without it - my god is it grim.

Another thing that I liked about the film was just how ruthless it was. In terms of movie plot, both women were completely ruthless. During the majority of the film, they hate each other to the point where there is a literal scene where they kill each other. Numerous times. Madeline’s and Helen’s focus on what they want is so obsessive that everything else around them - or rather Ernest, is a means to an end - either as a way to get back at the other, or a way to stay eternally young. The film’s ending - wherein they both fall down the stairs and shatter, is one that really encapsulates the overall message - where not only are both women each other’s downfall, but if they’d just done something simple (such as talk to each other or help each other when the other needs it most) instead of coming to an insane conclusion then they wouldn’t even be in this mess to begin with. The film is also absolutely ruthless in voicing its opinions on the beauty industry’s hunt for eternal age, and even though it’s 30 years old now, I do think that message still holds up really well.

I did also really love how classy everything was as well. The costumes, the mansion, the cars - even the glam moment by Meryl Streep in the beginning, it did look amazing, and with the context of the film, really drove home the message that money can’t buy happiness. Alongside this, I really did like the small details that really helped to ground the otherwise outlandish plot - The opening night of that musical in the 70s, the book signing etc - all of these work to push the main characters’ motivations and general unhappiness with their lives. There’s a really poignant scene in the film where Ernest walks into a group of doctors discussing how to save their patients’ life and there’s a look of longing on his face that really drives home as to how much he is missing his youth - and with it, his skills.

There were also a number of things I did not like about the film as well though. To start with, the blatant fatphobia in the film did feel a little uncalled for - especially because it felt unneeded. Had Goldie Hawn not been wearing a fat suit, then that scene would still play out the exact same way. I know that it was the 90s, but it did still feel unnecessary. I also didn’t like the fact that there was no real sort of additional information surrounding the potion of eternal youth, other than the fact that it was just there? There was no explanation as to how Helen’s character even found it, and it did leave me rather confused.

Speaking of Helen, her character seemed to have quite a few character shifts. She wasn’t very consistent throughout the film, and even though I completely understood that it was her who was very much pushing the revenge card, it did feel like she got a tad too much blame from Madeline. If the problem from Madeline was that Helen’s entire friend group was making fun of her, then why was Helen the only one singled out? It was a tad confusing and felt a bit like a last minute throwaway line to make Madeline appear more sympathetic.

To sum it up, I did really enjoy the film. It was definitely unique, and I think by playing up the sort of theatrical nature of the villainesses’ feud with each other, it really creates unforgettable but irredeemable characters. I do think that in times the overall writing felt a little iffy, however I think it ultimately is an enjoyable experience, and would definitely watch it again.

RANKING - 7/10. Would watch with a friend on a movie night as it’s entertaining, but I don’t think that it’s a phenomenal watch.

Hmm, op it's 1 in the morning, you're keeping me awake.

One answer to this is that I see nations as being somewhat similar to ancient gods and goddesses, in that though each of them are immortal and represent their own areas, they all have distinct personalities and charm about them. Which means that, even though there is a higher power that eventually keeps them in line (I'm guessing that it's either the ancients or the god that repeatedly shows up in the anime,) they can make their own choices to an extent.

Theory number 2 is that nations develop their lines of thinking around their upbringings throughout history - like humans, however ultimately they have to follow their boss' orders. Again, like humans. The only difference is that there'd probably be some sort of Magic involved that force nations to follow through with their orders, a bit like Ella enchanted.

To what extent are the nations’ thoughts and actions their own? If their actions and thoughts are to some degree influenced by their populace’s beliefs, as they have been shown to be, is it even right to say the nations have free will?

Ahem, people, can we all agree that the Jae and Chiara aka the William and Kate of this game are basically one step ahead everyone? Yes?

BEHOLD THE ROYAL COUPLE!

Chiara's time out of the main screen can be summarised with "Jae". They surely have a better chemistry than every canon couple of the mess that is Hogwarts Mystery. Thinking about, what exactly is canon except the old "MC x Fanboy/girl"? Wilfred and that girl with the black bobbed hair from the St. Valentine's instragram post? Jacob and Merula because the idiot once said "I lIkE hEr"? Charlie and the dragons?

You know JC, people in real life CAN fall in love. People in real life can also date even if it's not with the main character. I don't need an average MC saying ONE TIME to his captain with the look of a shipper "eh you know dude, you and Skye are more alike than you think". I NEED FACTS. IF THEY AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR DATING USE THEM.

Ahem, let's keep going.

They never openly talk about each other yet they seem so close. Knowing Chiara's story is easy to think that maybe Jae is her personal supplier for the potion that she needs during that time of the month. All the friendly interactions in the background may suggest other things going on, but who knows!

(I'M STILL DYING OF LAUGHTER DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE TIME JAE SAID THAT HE HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE SOME BAD PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING TO MEET HIM YET HE WAS TENDERLY TALKING WITH CHIARA IN THE COURTYARD. XD!)

If someone will ever ask me what's one of the biggest problems in Hogwarts Mystery, I would say that is too much MC's centric and that they should definitely start to care more all the secondary aspects that makes this game setted in a world of teenagers. The romantic/platonic relationships is one of them. Why wasting the opportunity to making a good story-line for both Chiara and Jae if I'm not romantically invested in non of them?

(The reference exist. Again. But I'm a stupid person so I accidentally deleted the link. I'm trying to research it. Don't worry, with some magic and my awesome "modify" button, it'll appear soon.)

:)
