omg i love the choice of personal jesus for the griffinverse post. i can just see the frozen pines movie scene where on each beat it switches from one griffin to another until finally landing on the last one and just prolonging that intensity thruout the scene. like its so cinematic and intense and it makes me feel like i am being punched in the gut with asa each time we are faced with a new tragic version, like asa is putting himself thru the suffering that jesus put himself thru out of the same type of selfless, overwhelming love. and in the hugging slide he is literally touching his faith (gay people and their biblical, epic type levels of love go bestie go!!). and the way he disappears like jesus did when he peaces out to the sky lol (who knew the years of forced bible study would actually be useful lol). ik that the song also has a more literal meaning for sw griffin in that asa is kind of like this random mystic miracle man etc. but i love the implications for asa specifically. ig just the fact that it works for both is masterful and i love your incredible brain and how you are able to create this wonderful story in such vivid detail with such visceral emotions. hope ur having a good day brandi and happy new year!!
YESSSSSS oh my god this is EXACTLY the emotion i wanted to convey!! ;-; i so badly wish tumblr would let us add small, unobtrusive media players between pictures so you could hear what i hear in my head while i'm writing these scenes 😭 but knowing that you understood my vision so clearly made me SO happy
also i can add one more layer of symbolism in that finn (and all the griffins) have a complicated relationship with religion and sin...
his father and god are inextricably linked – they were meant to love him unconditionally, and yet finn could never hold onto that love. it was always slipping from his grasp. the only person who has ever truly loved, understood, and accepted him without reservation is asa. he is the only thing finn can believe in.
this version of griffin has never met asa, yet he knows, implicitly, that asa loves him. the feeling of unconditional, absolute love he's chased his entire life washes over him and it doesn't disappear with asa. he gets to keep it.

nauurr bc i've been sobbing into a pillow for hours thanks to this guy 😭😭🤧🤧🤧😭😭😭🥺🥺
my GyuGyu, my baby, daddy, my baby daddy (??) aksjjsjddjd omfg i—
I MISS YOU TOO YOU LOSER WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO CLOSE BUTH SO SOSK FAR AWAY 💔💔
mingyu would def be the type of boyfriend that sends you selcas like this whenever you guys are apart from each other even if it's only a few days. he'd spam your messages to each other with a whole mini photoshoot load of them. he would also totally 1000000000000% caption them with some sappy shit like "i can't sleep without you in my arms, my darling." or "when you/i get home, i promise i'm gonna shower you in kisses and cuddles, baby girl." or something real cheesy like "if i miss you any harder, my heart might come looking for you".
like imagine, you went abroad to your home country to see your family after a long while, but mingyu had to miss out on the trip because seventeen is busy preparing to have comeback promotions. so mingyu settles for texting or calling you whenever he can, which is usually just as he's winding down for the evening, getting unready and relaxing before retiring to bed for sleep. but because you are abroad there is a time difference, which means you are left to settle for starting your day by talking with mingyu and accompanying him in his nighttime routine whilst you are going through your morning routine.
you casually talk about your individual days; mingyu telling you about the days adventures and of all the sheer craziness that is his bandmates, of the chaos that is seventeen. and you proceed to layout your daily plan for mingyu. he would never tell you out loud, but these basic conversations, the simplicity of just telling each other about all of the things you get to do in your day-to-day is certainly one of mingyu's all-time favorite ways to spend time with you.
a little while later, you are in the kitchen helping your family make lunch when your ringer goes off with mingyu's special ringtone. you quickly wipe your hands and unlock your phone. going into the text conversation, you are greeted by two pictures of your handsome boyfriend under the covers in your bed in his apartment in Seoul. the text messages accompanying the photos say, "goodnight to me, and good morning to you, my darling. i love you always my princess <3" how you got so lucky to be the one to love and to be loved by kim mingyu is well beyond you. and perhaps it's a query you will never find the answer to, but you would be absolutely content even if you never get that answer. Why? because all you need to know is that kim mingyu is yours and you are his, always and forever.

Poor things is shit
I first heard about it only from promotional images and fanart, then I heard the criticism and plot of it and thought "Well that's sure a horrendously bad movie". Sadly for me, I thought that I was being too harsh on it so I decided to watch by myself so I can confidently say it's shit. I do not understand the praise it's getting as it fails at pretty much everything it sets out to do.
It fails as a "feminist" re-imagination of Frankenstein as it is written and directed by men and (as many Frankenstein-inspired media) doesn't understand the original story at all, which actually is the first feminist Frankenstein as it was written by Mary Shelley, much less does anything new or interesting with it.
It fails as an adaptation of the novel "Poor Things" as it excludes the ending without any sound reason I could find. In which end, I may add, we find out that Bella never existed, that the whole book was written by Victoria's second husband who was jealous of her life and career as a doctor so he, in the words of the novel itself, "deprived me of childhood and schooling by suggesting I was not mentally me when I first met him". And the most astounding to me is that all i found regarding this change is that they "wanted to go beyond the book" regarding the scene with her first husband. That strikes me as such a missed opportunity since it could've poked fun both at reimaginations of classical books that do nothing and of the "Victorianisms" (as i understood it the romanticisation of life while ignoring the harsh reality of the working class) that Victoria in the book hated. Or say anything else, maybe about her and her husband's conflicting points of view.
It fails as a movie itself by being an unnecessarily and utterly boring movie with nothing to say or to add to any discussion. I do not understand the comedy aspect of the film as only one scene in the whole two-hour movie struck me as "funny". I understand much less the "female gaze" statment of this movie because of the reasons stated above. It's artsy, but so many other films are artsy and some of then have an actual story to tell.
Basically this film says nothing about nothing about the female experience worth noting, it doen't discuss the implication of her husband being atracted to her when she still has the mental capacity of a toddler, it doesn't touch on the themes of isolation, judgment and mishandling of science of Frankenstein, it's not faithfull to the source material, it's not enjoyable neither makes you think, in sum it's just two hours of nothing.
