9, 24, & 28 for the Mass Effect asks please!

9: What squad member do you bring along the most? Garrus because he's me BOY. There's no Shepard without Vakarian.

24: What enemy do you really hate fighting? Geth Juggernauts on insanity. Specifically on Rannoch when you come out of the elevator and you're surrounded with no cover... I want to cry.

28: What’s the most hilarious thing that’s happened to you while playing (a glitch, a mission that went haywire, etc)? Absolute favorite was definitely during a conversation with Udina when his eyes just started slowly rising up into and then eventually out of his head while he was talking. After about thirty seconds they were offscreen and he just had two big gaping holes in his face.

Five people I’d like to know better & some stuff about me

Tagged by @omnishambolichologram . Thanks so much I’m honoured!! :D Sorry it took long, I have to do this on laptop.

Favourite colours: The green-blue combo? The red-ish purple and pink! Lol

Last song listened to: Joy Division’s Love will tear us apart - I’m sucker for anything typically English these days.

Favourite musician: Way too many, I usually just listen to separate songs I like from anyone, but namely could say: Marina, Lana Del Rey, Wombats, any cheesy stuff from 2000s really, all indie bands like Sticky Fingers, Glass animals, COIN? All of that.

Last film watched: So since my best friend found out i’ve seen NONE of the cult classics, we’re kinda going through them so it was first Back to the Future and yesterday Jumanji lol.

Last TV show watched: Fresh Meat, as I said, I’m on a hunt for any 90′s to 10′s purely English comedies, I really like the accents :D I watched Spaced with Simon Pegg too and it was hilarious. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them! The more Scouse accent the better btw :P

Favourite character: Arnold J. Rimmer, I never quite loved anyone the way I fell for him, I know I’m ridiculous but I just have a massive soft spot for him, I do have fictional-crushes problem ever since I can remember but it only ever brought me joy than problems so what! This wasn’t supposed to be a love letter, fair enough, but nobody else will really listen to this so let me have it, I love Rimmer, he’s pure, he’s fun, and most importantly he has so many issues he would keep me interested for decades, I just love my ball of neuroses :D.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: All of it?? I love all of it, I love food. Was tempted to say spicy and write another love letter for Lister but maybe another time..

Sparkling water, tea or coffee: Coffee and sparkling water is my holy combo!! Not in one cup, but like, to complement each other.

Pets: None at the moment, unfortunately :( would love a dog or a lizard.

Do you have a favourite Normandy layout? Original, Cerberus retrofit, or ME3 Normandy?

I think the Alliance-modified SR2 is my favorite layout overall, but it loses points to the Cerberus layout for requiring a pointless load screen to get to the war room... and for bugging out when I walk on those panel gaps in the cockpit.

"they brought back what makes Dracula so terrifying as a villain, especially to women" my dude I need to HEAR this essay PLEASE

Yeah I really should have said "particularly to women" because the general theme is applicable to anyone of any gender but in this film, it's about women- this is why I shouldn't write reviews late at night, bloody hell. 

(edit) I feel I should clarify something - please do not watch The Invitation thinking that it’s going to be an A24-style Serious Horror Flick. While it’s got some serious themes included in the story, it is still very much a love-letter to old relatively-campy gothic horror vampire flicks. I had a ton of fun watching this film, but I also picked up on the thematic elements, too. 

Anyway - I'm going to be vague here because I don't want to spoil things but here it goes (and this is a combo of my opinions and what the director/writer has said about her intentions)

The way I see it, The Invitation is based around the interpretation that Dracula is a symbol of rich, powerful older generations preying on, controlling and wanting to destroy younger generations. In this case, preying on, controlling and wanting to destroy women. It also explores how that level of power corrupts others and drives people (particularly rich, powerful people) to do insanely immoral acts, just for the sake of approval from their higher-ups. And just how far back this kind of evil goes.

It also explores how women from different eras and class backgrounds react when having their choices taken away from them. Some are power-hungry and are more than happy to sacrifice their choices for the sake of a higher position and don't give a shit about when it happens to women in lower classes, while others are struggling to find the courage to stand up for themselves so they accept that this is the right way for them to live and try desperately to find the positives in this.

But then there's Evie, the main character. She is modern woman from a working class background who is looked down on by her rich clients at her job where she works as a catering server, and can't stand it when she sees workers being mistreated by their bosses. So she's brought into this grand, elegant world filled with luxury and is swept off her feet by the lord of the manor. But then she realises that the price she must pay in return is the loss of control over her life. To basically become a prisoner and slave to her master/husband's whim... yeah, not-spoiler-alert-cos-its-in-the-trailer, she doesn't take that lying down.

So, to summarise - it's all about breaking this centuries-old cycle of violence against women and dismantling a system that thrives off the oppression of women.

Very topical film, wouldn't you agree?

But yeah, in conclusion - I fucking loved this film. These themes are present throughout and made even clearer as the film goes on. I highly recommend checking it out (it seems to be divisive so it might not be good to you but that’s ok if that’s the case - this is just my opinion) and I hope my vague ramblings make sense 😂

Hmm... a dandy gentleman who is mocked by his peers because he can’t live up to stupid society’s standards of what a “real man” is... and a laidback yet grumpy chaotic Goth who has a notorious reputation but is really not that bad, all things considered... 

I guess what I’m saying is, Stede and Edward are (well, might be, it sure looks like it) the Ineffable Husbands: Pirate Edition.

One thing I really appreciated about The Sandman on Netflix was that it wasn’t gratuitously violent. This is a dark comic series, I understand that. But, personally, I think it’s way more effective when its either implied or you see the aftermath and even then not nearly as much as you’d think. 

And I know the show did tone down some of the most disturbing elements from the comics but even then, it was still effectively disturbing without being gross about it. There was also a lot of focus on the dread and suspense building up to the horrific act than showing the actual act. Which is really good because that gives you more time to connect with the characters, so that when they do die or don’t die, you have a relatively strong emotional reaction. 

Look, i’m a “less is more” kind of gal. And I thought that was extremely well executed here.

[xxgothchatonxx]

Tagged by the lovely @mimi-dracula​ to share my comfort movies.

Don’t really have many but these are my picks.

Peter Pan (2003) - also happens to be my favourite movie of all time.

The Birdcage - heartwarming and hilarious

Cinderella (1997) - easily my favourite Cinderella film

Batman Forever - literally calmed me down while I was having an anxiety attack... yes THIS loud, crazy, campy Batman film calmed me down 😂

I’m sure there’s others but I can’t think of them right now.

I’m going to taaaaaaag @absurdistplayer​ @little-de-vil​ @missielynne​ @scorpio-karma​ and @eevylynn​ - if you want to play, of course :)
