Watching Suzume again today as I recover from a mild cold.
It's such....it's such a weird movie to recommend to people who don't watch anime. Because like, on one hand...it's got giant monsters and talking cats and the romance is between a 17 year old and a grad student who is temporarily cursed to be an animate chair.
But it's also one of the most beautiful portrayals of grief, not just personal grief but communal grief, the loss of people and places and the land itself. It's a celebration of community and small acts of kindness in the face of trauma and mourning. And I honestly feel like it's one of those movie that can deeply touch you as a person.
But it's also about a girl who almost kisses a chair who is cursed by a talking cat. So.

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.
Been reading the Sandman comics again and had to do my own version of Dream waiting for his sister Death. Hopefully will be continuing this and will draw Death to go with her moody brother because I adore her π
