Zepotha will never be Goncharov because when it comes down to it, tumblr culture is collaborative, while tiktok culture is merely iterative, and those are not the same thing.

ID by @peachygos
[ID: A comic juxtaposing screenshots from Nimona 2023 and drawings of a person watching the movie. The first screenshot is Ambrosius's introduction; he grins at the camera as the news anchors introduce him, his name in big print on the screen. The person watching thinks with a bored expression, "Ah. Ok. This guy is gonna be the jackass. Typical golden-boy stuck-up prince that thinks he's better than the underdog. I see where this is going.
The next screenshot is of Ambrosius and Ballister on the platform above the arena, Ambrosius doing his news anchor bit and saying, "Aaand will Ballister be broody on the biggest day of his life?" Ballister laughs at his antics. The person watching now has a small smile, as they think, "Huh! Aw, they're actually nice to each other and are friends! I wasn't expecting that, that's nice-"
The third and final screenshot is a shot from behind of Ballister leaning his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. The caption reads "the knighting ceremony is just moments away." The person watching now has a touched, soft expression, like they're holding back tears. They think "OH." as a partially transparent doodle behind them bends over crying and blubbering, with another doodle showing their heart shot through with an arrow. /end ID]

The Barbie movie really said. Yes you will grow up and childhood wonder will vanish. Yes you will grow up and learn to hate yourself, your body, your awkwardness. Yes you will grow up and lose your confidence and certainty and sense of purpose. Yes you will grow up and the world will seem a bleaker, lonelier place every day, and society will seem bleaker and lonelier every day, and you won’t understand what went wrong in the span of just a few years, what took you from a happy and secure young girl to a sad, uncertain, scared grown woman.
And yet. You will learn to find beauty again. You will find joy in not having a purpose, in building a purpose for yourself. You will find beauty in connection, with the people and the world around you. You will learn to love signs of ageing as proof of a life well lived, of experience and happiness. You will take that little girl by the hand and tell her “I know, this isn’t what you thought it would be, but it’s real. Let me show you how beautiful it can be.”

The scene in the Barbie trailer when Barbie is skating around with Ken and asks "Why is everyone staring at me?"
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE AN ADOLESCENT GIRL.
Living in Barbieland (childhood girlhood) but then suddenly you're all grown up in the real world subject to scrutiny and sexualisation (the guy slapping Barbie's ass) and feeling like existing is a crime?
Being forced by adult men into a box (which leads to the not like other girls syndrome) and exploring the 'real world' (being forced to grow up too quickly) while fighting the realisation that maybe the world sucks and being a woman is so difficult while hoping with all your heart that it's not always going to be this way.
Losing touch with the very things that made you happy because they're considered immature and girly? (The group of teens that said they hadn't played with Barbies since they were five.)
Older women telling you that you have to learn the truth about the world and that you can never have your old life back (Kate Mckinnon's Barbie) despite it being the only thing you yearn for, but also older women being a bright spot and support (the old woman on the bench) in the endless slough of life.
And this is just the trailer!!! I'm so excited for this movie I can't breathe, Greta Gerwig the woman that you are 😭

Bless the Dungeons and Dragons movie for having their male and female leads be best friends with zero romantic interest in each other. They're both attracted to the opposite sex and they're both unattached, and yet they don't have any interest in each other beyond being best friends who are practically siblings that raise a child together. Absolute giga-chad move from the writers.

I watched Aftersun yesterday.
Warning: this may contain be spoilers.
Tumblr media
I have admired Paul Mescal ever since I first watched him in Normal People. I was so impressed with his performance there that I started following his projects. I feel a rawness in him and in his acting; he has an open face and a charming, shy smile; not hyper handsome or hunky but masculine, attractive, not hard to look at at all.
And damn, he can act. He acts like his life depends on it. He embodies his characters so well that I have to remind myself repeatedly that he is an actor. He can make you forget that sometimes.
I heard of Aftersun early on, knew he was in it, knew I had to watch it. But I kept postponing - for some reason I wouldn't dare analyze until later.
Aftersun tells a simple story, so simple in fact that regular moviegoers won't be interested in the subject matter and the plot, or the lack thereof. It tells the story of a young woman looking back on a holiday she spent with her young father when she was about 10 or 11.
From the very beginning we are introduced to Sophie, the little girl (excellent child actress, Frankie Corio), and her father, twenty-something Calum (Mescal). It's summer, and they are staying in a cheap resort. There's an ongoing construction, they aren't given the two beds he paid for in advance, and there is a public pool. She is often mistaken for his sister. He takes it in stride, corrects strangers gently. They are enjoying their vacation; they have an open, warm rapport and they hold great, sometimes even deep, conversations. He puts sunblock on her back, they play billiards with teenagers.
By all means, everything is going well. But a feeling sneaks up on you, a sense of dread, but you can't put a finger on what caused it exactly. Before you think it, no, there is nothing improper about their relationship. Calum is a loving father. You feel his affection and his tenderness, and Sophie glows with happiness in his presence. You feel their deep bond.
Tumblr media
But the disquiet persists. Something is wrong. But what?
Mescal is a terrific actor. He wears a different face when Sophie is around. The mask slips whenever he's alone, or when she's not looking. Nothing about it is ever overt or grand acting. The best actor nomination may have been sealed by the scene of him crying with his back to the camera, without the viewer ever seeing his face.
I must warn you that if you are looking out for a great plot twist or surprise or climactic drama, you won't find that in this movie. What you will find here is a quietly growing sense of dread, an unease drumming under your skin and slowly turning deafening, until you get to the final act which lands a deeply affecting emotional impact.
In the final 15 minutes, father and young daughter dance. This scene is interspersed with flashes of adult Sophie watching her father dancing in the dark, only seen occasionally as the lights flash on and off on him. She looks on, then she tries to come closer, to grasp him, to hold him. He keeps moving fluidly, often slipping through her fingers. Then she grabs hold of him and embraces him tightly. But you still feel her desperation and hopelessness; even holding him in her arms, he remained out of reach.
Tumblr media
And suddenly, tears were rolling down my cheeks and I couldn't understand why. Even now, thinking back on that scene as Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie played in a crescendo and I picture Paul Mescal's face as he danced and as he embraced young Sophie on the dancefloor, I can still feel my chest tightening with inexplicable sadness. Yesterday watching that was the saddest I've been in twelve years, thinking about my father. My father died when I was young, after his struggle with various diseases for about a decade. It was only a few years ago that I finally realized his depression. This movie reminded me of all the simple gestures and the good days when he would take walks with me in the afternoon or sit with me under the morning sun. Then it reminded me of all the times I caught his pained expression, his blank stares into nothingness, or the one time I witnessed him crying and his struggle to hold back the tears in my presence.
Adult Sophie understands now how she only saw one side of him, the side he showed her when she was young. He had a quiet sadness within that he couldn't totally keep; sometimes the mask slipped during conversations, during unguarded times, and she caught glimpses of his real feelings, snippets of his real thoughts. She wants to look back and understand further, to grasp the totality of his existence and make peace with the side of him he never showed her, the side she was never able to touch. She ached with the inability to go back in time and see more. That part of him, she would never know.
Aftersun tapped something in me that I only partially suspected was there: my regret at being too naive to understand my father's suffering, my regret at being too self-absorbed to see his pain, my regret at being too young.
They were right. I walked away from that movie a different person.

Prompt 112
Once again, you know who is underutilized in DCxDP crossovers? Battinson. Skrunkly shivering boi. Who we should definitely give children to care for. 
 Did you know that Jason canonically had a brother named Danny? Well you do now, and it should also be used more. 
 We all want to give Battinson a robin, so why not give him four for the price of two. He of course gets Dick from the circus- he’s never going to go into public again, this was the first time he’d gone to do something out of his comfort zone for a while and look how that turned out. 
 And on one of the nights that Dick has to stay home (Alfred insists he must finish his homework if he wants to go out on patrol) Bruce returns to the batmobile to find not one child, but two. Is Danny reincarnated? Just appeared one day? Who knows, but he’s here now and going to protect his little brother. 
 Bruce might have tears in his eyes when they both hit him in the kneecaps and bolt because even with the armor it still hurts. How he manages to grab both kids he’s not too sure, but he ends up getting them food after they put the tires back. He also doesn’t understand how he’s convinced them into the car but they’ve both conked out and maybe he’s panicking and needs Alfred- 
 D-Dick why is there another child here? He’s the neighbor, cool cool. W-what do you mean he’s home alone, he’s like, 4?? What do you mean he’s been alone for a week now???
Alfreeeeed-
