Terence Davies (1945-2023) era el más grande director británico vivo. No tuvo el éxito comercial de John Boorman o el reconocimiento en festivales de Ken Loach. Pero ningún otro director británico retrató mejor la cultura popular de la postguerra, la alegría de los momentos mundanos y la crueldad de las convencios sociales como Davies. Privilegió la mirada de los niños y las mujeres, pero también dio protagonismo a su ciudad natal, Liverpool. Davies dio voz a su homosexualidad al igual que a su fe religiosa. Prodigó finales felices y despiadados por igual. Escribió historias originales, con grandes tintes autobiográficos, pero también fue un eficaz adaptador de novelas; no en balde, hizo dos películas sobre eminentes poetas. Terence Davies amplió los horizontes del cine británico al tiempo que hizo películas personales y conmovedoras. QEPD.

Terence Davies (1945-2023) was the greatest living British director. He didn't have the commercial success of John Boorman or the festival recognition of Ken Loach. But no other British director portrayed post-war popular culture, the joy of mundane moments and the cruelty of social conventions better than Davies. He privileged the gaze of children and women, but also gave prominence to his hometown, Liverpool. Davies gave voice to his homosexuality as well as his religious faith. He lavished happy and merciless endings alike. He wrote original stories, with great autobiographical overtones, but he was also an effective adapter of novels; not in vain, he filmed two biopics about eminent poets. Terence Davies expanded the horizons of British cinema while making personal and moving films. RIP.

(Going insane boinkinh one AU in my head)

Hey hey hey

May I interest you in

(Slowly slides my FaaF AU towards you but void just Disappears without a trace one day before the accolade)

Teehee

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #i love this au very yummy. a very fun twist on how Flower's dynamic with their parents would progress afterwards #the vessels live but the void exits their bodies in quite a violent manner (extreme pain and literally throwing up an entire person worth of #void). Flower was on guard duty and theyre found barely conscious in a pool of rapidly evaporating void. passes out seconds later #PK also had the displeasure of experiencing extene pain and burning as void forced its way out through his skin <3 And his moulds all melted #and evaporated. after the initial shock wears off theyre hit with “Oh No #the vessel“ and rush to find them. Well somebody else was already looking for the royal pair about this #Flower wakes up dazed and in pain in their father's workshop. their stomach hurts their throat burns and they feel lightheaded. the entire #place is considerably brighter than they remember and in they can hear two faint voices in the background but theyre too preoccupied with #examining their now pure white hand in shock to focus on anything else. until they hear their mother say “My wyrm they're awake” and #suddenly their parents are by their side. Now the two have no idea what void leaving their body might have done to them. Are they still #hollow? are they still dead? do they understand anything are they sentient? or was what was done pernament even without the void? do they #have the mind of a child if their sentience was restored? or do they remember anything? So WL stays by their side and helps them sit up #while their father goes to grab his tools. She's trying to keep them calm and comfort them but theyre still too disoriented to pay her much #attention. Until their father checks their breathing and they yelp audibly from the cool metal contacting their skin and suddenly they seem #much more alert. theyve never experienced true coldness before. PK quickly apologises and tries to be gentler with them. Theyre breathing #properly and they have a heartbeat. And he just pauses for a long while just. listening to their heart beating. Many emotions to be had #after the exam's over he asks them point blank how theyre feeling. And Flower looks up at him still seeming a little disoriented. and then #they lower their hand to their stomach and mutter 'My tummy hurts...a-and my throat burns'. It's to be expected after the way the void #left their body. so he goes to grab them some water and meds and they also ask for food and a mirror. And after he returns they just stare #at themself in the mirror and pull on their bangs for a while then blurt out 'I have your eyes' when PK asks if everything's okay. And he #and he almost chokes up as he replies 'Yeah...Yeah you do'. Flower eventually spins a lie that they remember everything but its all distant #and blurry. Like they were not aware until now. They figured it'd be better to not break their hearts #And now the three have to figure out how to be a family while PK is also scrambling to find a new solution to the infection #oops i meant to only give a brief rundown in the tags which is why it was in the tags. but i got too invested KDHDKFB

#its been 5 years now since we broke up lmao i was literally doing fine i forgot her face and voice and everything #at that point it was just a distant ache. but then for whatever reason she was on my mind all the time and i missed her so bad #like a lost limb. thats how much i missed her which is so ridiculous #ive been dreaming about her like every night where i see her face in full detail and hear her laugh #and in these dreams im just as in love with her as i used to be #and it makes me feel so bad honestly cuz girl hates me 💀and im not living in a story where we'll meet again #one of my friends recently had an ex text her how much he misses her and the way ive been recently makes me scared that im acting the same #which is like hhhhhhhhhhhh i dont want to be that person. i havent reached out havent tried to reconnect and i never will !!! #still im scared of being that kind of person 😐 #anyway. im not sure what it is thats been making me feel like such a half of a whole. especially when i know this feeling def isnt #reciprocated 🤭. its kind of embarrassing im ngl but whatever #im sure this will pass as all things do #aricouldyounot

Idk man if you're constantly talking about your crushing loneliness and feelings of being ostracised and left out when you ostensibly have a bunch of friends around you then maybe the feelings of loneliness aren't the problem there

#i would always feel really empty and distant and 'act out' after our hangouts #and i always framed it as like 'i get the high when i'm around people and then i crash afterwards' #and didn't really consider that maybe sitting in a vc for 4 hours feeling left out while other people have fun is just soul sucking #it was always framed as my behaviour that was the problem. 'you did this and you did that.' so i just kinda internalized that #if i felt like shit it must be my fault. everybody knows i'm the one who causes problems so i'm just causing more problems #if i say that something made me uncomfortable and the response is 'i wont make accomodations and how dare you even ask' it must be my fault #idk. we filled out consent forms in the game i'm really not excited to play and i was reminded that nobody ever asked my consebt #and when i tried to advocate for myself and voice that i wasn't consenting it was treated like i was causing problems by trying to say that #and i saw that as a reasonable reaction at the time cause i had been so deeply convinced that i was broken and horrible #that if i was trying to revoke my consent or even just negotiate it then i was ruining everything for everybody else #that if i was uncomfortable with what was going on i needed to just shut up and live with it #i wish i had realized that and dropped out months ago. maybe that could have preserved some semblance of my relationships with those people #far too late for that now. i'm trying to accept that #and all that effort was wasted anyway #i tried to say once that i was putting in a massive amount of effort and i felt like nobody was recognizing that fact #and i still kind of feel that way #i put hours of mental energy into trying to be enough for people who kept demanding more from me and kept giving me less in return #did that do me any good or did it just cause me 3 months of grief and an empty bank account from therapy? #the problem is that i still wish things had turned out better even though i know i had no control over that #if i had kept advocating for myself it just would have been over far faster. i guess that might have spared me a bit of money #if i tried to talk about the problems it would have just been dismissed with some quick quippy therapy phrase amounting to 'not my fault' #we're already living in the universe where i put all my effort into changing in the ways i was told to change and look how well that went #idk. the attitude was never 'let's fix the problems.' it was always 'you need to fix it.' and then when i did it was #'now there's a new problem. fix that one too. and this one. and that one.' #and to do all that work for somebody and then be told they thought you never even cared about them. man it just stings #idk. it's in the past now. but i can't build new relationships. i'm trying and it's impossible #i try meeting new people and they all suck. i try strengthening relationships with old people and they all get too busy or leave. #the only reason i post these things on tumblr is cause i don't have anybody else to talk to about it #the only person i could talk to has their own shit going on. there really just isn't anybody else #personal

Don't mind your muse being stared down by a translucent yet blue-skinned extraterrestrial with questionable intent. Don't mind the piercing gaze that is-- by no mistake, hardening in response to long-dead emotions they haven't felt since three generations ago. They weren't truly staring nor were they 'here'.

A part of them remains stuck in the past; from the time before Maiz invaded their planet.

Like an EARTHBOUND spirit, they're foreign to their slender, thin body-- they haunt the premises, unable to move on. Regrets they dare not think or verbalize-- lest they be found through the Kokytans' Hive-Mind Network and dealt with, permanently-- lay frozen and trapped behind a cage comprising squishy flesh and purple organs.

To be sorry, was wrong.

They weren't sorry.

Maybe they would have been several cycles ago, but not now. They couldn't afford it. His feelings and thoughts were shared with the collective and vice versa. To endanger them would bring the alien further heartache. He was lucky to have his family be spared. His kin were NOT SO LUCKY.

#NPC: OLLVROX THE ONE EYED KOKYTAN. #{{ I'm still getting a hang for his speaking voice but he's a somber tone kind of guy. Much more approachable than Maiz for sure. #{{ If all things go well .... i may open him up for A Thing™ meaning your muse MAYYYYYYYY or may not be able to save him. or make him worse #{{ but long story short............ to save his family during Maiz's uprising he did terrible things. he still does nasty things to survive #{{ he's v sad about everything but his feelings and thoughts get hijacked daily by others so he never really got to DEAL with any of it. :' #{{ they're VERY numb and distant emotionally. living and existing is hard. hopefully I'm making sense. #genocide cw #slavery cw

i listened to a podcast where the guest comedian was raised irish catholic and he talked about how he doesn’t think he ever believed in god or hell or anything, he didn’t even think about it, it was more about the pageantry and the rhythm and routine and that is so relatable i’ve never heard anyone else put that into words

#talking about how no one even talked about heaven or hell or the devil etc #also said he loves the campness of it #ME #AND he stated distant voices still lives as his most relatable film . #which would also be my answer to that question
