[tiagems]

sometimes i feel like things like cinemasins and twitter and rotten tomatoes and imbd have soured the film watching experience because i see a new movie being released and even though im excited because new movie im terrified to watch it and then go online and see everyone rip it apart

#this is about wish #and fnaf #and tmnt #and every movie that's come out since spiderverse #enjoying movies is exhausting nowdays #the effort to give a movie a fair shot in the face of everyone shouting about how bad it is #is almost not worth it #if it wasn't for how much i fucking love cinema in general #i don't know how much id watch movies now

[hydrachea]

FNAF was so fun.

#i had my hopes up as soon as i saw how much critics fucking hated it #went in expecting a venom kinda deal of 'bad movie that's a very good time' #wasn't disappointed #i love violence #and the living tombstone #and this series in general time to give markiplier another rewatch #remember always: i am cringe but i am free #ray's records #yes it's been over a month since the movie came out #but YOU try organizing a cinema outing with several friends who all have jobs #worth it tho we all had a blast

who's my princess?

fandom: austin butler rating: m pairing: austin butler x older female reader word count: 2169 warnings: jokes about being a sugar baby. heavy use of the nickname princess and baby boy. praise kink. faint d/s elements but not quite, you'll see in the fic. oral ( female receiving, attempted male receiving. ). public sex acts. no use of y/n. author’s note: welcome to day 4 of ally’s wet hot smut summer, praise kink with austin butler x older female reader. so here's the thing with this fic, i have been struggling to write it— and austin in general for the past week/two weeksa. to the point where i actually skipped ahead to rooster x reader titty fucking that i already posted on another account. i'll post it here once i finish my austin degradation kink day, promise. anyway what i ended up finally settling on with this fic was doing austin with an older female reader. you can read how much older however you like or if you want could ignore my reference to it being an older female reader. it also erred more toward plus size but can still be read a little more explicitly as not plus size. anyway, i hope y'all enjoy this fic even if it's a lil more niche for the fandom. as always, i do enjoy your comments and reblogs and tags and they are my writing life blood to be quite honest. there was also three different versions of this moodboard and i am still not sure i'm in love with this one. also i'm not completely back from my impromptu vacation but i wanted to post this before i tossed it in a fire or something.

"They think you're my sugar baby, you know," you murmur against the shell of Austin's ear, watching as his jaw muscle tenses just so at the implication.

His eyes slide across the room, taking in the looks people are giving the two of you. It's not that he isn't used to the looks, the slight judgment that people pass when they think he's merely just a kept boytoy but this time it hits different. For Vanessa, as much as he loved her and as much as he supposes she loved him there was always quite a kernel of truth there. It rubbed him the wrong way some days but at the same time it allowed him to slowly prove his acting chops without necessarily worrying about if he'd have a place to stay if things went horrendously wrong. But for you? For his gorgeous girlfriend? Oh, he wasn't a boytoy in the slightest. Sure, you could have made it so he was a kept man again. You could have allowed him to live in the lap of luxury and only come up for projects that were artsy and true cinema that he could sink his teeth into. No, instead he told himself he'd treat you, he'd make sure you were taken care of by him. You were older, you didn't need a partner to spoil you and cater to your every want and need. You didn't need these things but he was determined to give them to you. After all what sort of romantic partner would he be if he didn't spoil the love of his life.

"Hm," he hums softly, turning his head just enough to look you in the eyes. "Of course. They know I'm younger than you. They think I found another sugar mama to support me. If only they knew. Think they'd believe us if we told them?"

There's something so inviting and enrapturing about Austin's gaze that has you shivering just ever so slightly in delight and arousal. "About what?"

It's a dangerous game you're playing, teasing him like this but you can't help it. You want to rile Austin up in the same way he has with you on so many occasions. His tongue darts out to wet his lips before he bites his lower one. "Is my Princess playing dumb? Is she trying to be coy? Tease me?"

You smile softly and shrug, attempting to look as innocent as can be, "maybe. What are you going to do about it, baby?"

"Baby?" Austin moves to pull turn you around and pulls you closer to him, his hands settling on your plush hips and squeezing. "I think there's only one baby here, and it's not me, Princess. You don't have to tease to get what you want, you know that. My good girl knows that."

A shaky inhale is your only response for a moment as Austin smirks, his eyes dancing with a certain mixture of arousal and amusement that he only gets when he looks at you. Things between you are always a little playful, the joys of being old enough to not care about what other people think of you but it's still a delight to see after failed relationships before him. Maybe that's why you hadn't had a relationship that lasted this long before him. Maybe the universe was just having you wait for him. It takes you a moment to collect your thoughts even as you feel your arousal slowly dripping from your vagina, slowly dampening the underwear you're wearing.

"Your good girl does, but maybe I want to be bad today. Maybe I want you to show me and everyone else how desperate you always are for me," you practically purr out the last words and Austin's grip tightens just that little bit more as he moves one hand down to your behind and squeezes partially as a warning and partially as a promise.

"How desperate I am for you? How drenched are your panties? Would they stick to that pretty little pussy of yours? That pussy that was made for my cock? The one that could never be satisfied by any other cocks before mine?" His words are quiet but so deadly that you can't help the whine that leaves you even as your hand moves to cup the front of his slacks. You're in public but between the two of you, you're making your way to an empty corner with no one the wiser about what's happening. It should be mortifying the way Austin has you acting like a teenager and yet you remember that you're doing the same for him. You're both acting as if you don't have a care in the world, as if Austin and you both aren't at least partially in the public eye.

The thing is in this moment it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because all anyone is going to see is you and him having your hands all over each other because you're so in love and practically obsessed with one another that you're both needy. Even if the way you're needy is subtly different between the two of you.

"Somewhere private." The words tumble out of your mouth when you finally make it to that corner and realize that your hand is trying to undo his slacks and his hand is trying to lift of your dress as if no one would be watching. Austin looks at you with blown pupils and huffs out a breath of air from his nose before he nods, grabbing your hand and pulling you out of the room and into regrettably the nearest closet he can find.

You start to drop to your knees, thinking this has to be something quick between the two of you, a quick blowjob that'll ruin your panties that he'll steal and put in his pocket for the rest of the night until you can get home. Except Austin's grip on your arm stops you, pulls you back up into a standing position even as your eyebrow arches upward in a simple unspoken question.

"I didn't ask for you to suck my dick, Princess," he murmurs, leaning over you just enough that he practically pins you to the door. "You want to be good for me, don't you? Make up for how bad you just were?"

In another time and place you'd maybe be embarrassed about how quickly you nod. In another time before Austin you'd have scoffed and shook your head. As it is all you want is to hear Austin tell you how good you are with those plush lips of his. All you want to feel his lips upon your skin, sucking hickies on it, his teeth biting your skin and leaving small indentations. You merely want all of Austin in this moment. "What—what do you want then?"

A simple question and a request for direction. You can't be his good girl, his bestest girl, his flawless girl without direction. You might be accidentally bad.

His hand moves to cup your chin and pulls you in for a featherlight kiss before moving down to your neck kissing there. You don't realize what's happening until you feel his hands cup your breasts as he places kisses along the tops of them exposed by your dress. You see his body starting to inch closer and closer down to the floor as he trails kisses down your body, setting every inch of your skin they touch ablaze with a fire that burns starting from your aching vagina. It clenches around nothing, wanting something— anything— near it and being deprived even as his lips are so close to it that he could tongue you through the fabric of your dress.

"Aus—" you start to whisper his name only to be cut off with a shaky exhale as you feel his fingertips against your calves and against your knees. You feel his fingers press into your plush thighs and bite your lip to stop yourself from whining only to have Austin remove his hands from them. "What—"

"Good girls are loud for their boyfriends. For their baby boys," he smirks and you can tell even in the low light of the closet. Any other time and you might lightly tap his face to smack it off of him but right now it has your thighs clenching together and him laughing. "You're my good girl, aren't you, Princess? My goddess of a woman. The cougar who sunk her teeth into me? I just want to hear you. I want everyone to know that I'm bringing you such immense pleasure with my tongue that you can't help but scream."

You are about to say something before Austin's head is under your dress faster than the words can come out. They're quickly forgotten in the haze and loud groan that leaves your lipstick covered lips as his fingers— those long fingers you've sucked and nipped at before— find themselves buried in your pussy. Austin plays you like a musical instrument, earning sighs and whimpers and every noise in between to form a symphony that bounces off the walls of the closet. You feel your orgasm starting to inch closer and closer before he pulls out his fingers and you keen loud enough that you hear people on the other side of the door wondering what's going on.

Austin chuckles and if you could see his eyes you're certain you would see them blown with arousal but still somehow sparkling with pure mirth. His laughter is a warm gust of air against your thigh but somehow a cool balm against your dripping cunt. Your thighs are sticky with arousal but not release and you almost want to cry before you feel Austin's breath focusing closer and closer to where you want it. "It's like a fountain down here."

The words are said with a bit of awe before he continues, "this all for me pretty girl? All for me, ma'am? If breathe just right can I get another drop?" He teases even as he lets out the smallest puff of air against your clit. "Oh. I can. So responsive. Such a good responsive woman. Couldn't ask for anyone better to be on my arm and in my bed. Maybe I should marry you. Keep you all to myself."

"Austin, please." You plea as your hands move to his hair, ruining whatever hairstyle his stylist had crafted in one fell swoop of your hands clenching at the strands.

"What my Princess wants, my princess gets," he jokes before his tongue finds its way to your throbbing clit.

The noises between your legs sound obscene with his tongue and chin and everything sliding against the arousal between your legs. He eats you out like a starving man, one of his hands moving to curl inside you as his mouth sucks your clt. It's too much and too little all at once. Your thighs tighten around his head as your hands tighten in his hair and you hear Austin moan as he shifts just enough to have his cock press against your calf. He's in control but at the same time so are you. You're making him so desperate he needs to hump your leg to get relief and he has your cunt spasming even though you haven't come just yet. You're sure you're saying words or perhaps it's just gibberish as Austin's fingers curl just so, pressing against that spot that has the coil in your lower abdomen wounding tighter and tighter. His thrusts against your legs are becoming more stuttered and your hands yank at his hair to try and pull him away so you don't come all over his face only to have him use his one free hand to grab your ass and force you grind down on his face. Somehow the brush of his nose against your clit and the way his tongue moves just so in tandem with his fingers against that spot of yours has you shouting his name even as you try and muffle it just a little. Your body shakes with aftershocks, thighs twitching against his head and lower stomach feeling like it's pulsating from the intensity. It takes both of you far longer than you'd like to admit to catch your breath and even as you do, Austin looks every bit as wrecked as you do before he opens his mouth.

"Think they still think I'm just your sugar baby?" The joke comes easily and with a soft smile. "Because that was some loud screaming, Princess. I was proud of you for it."

You can't help but look off to the side in embarrassment before you feel Austin's hand on your chin, forcing you to look at him. You swear you smell your own scent on his hand and you can't help but lick your lips. "Maybe, but I don't— Let them. Because it doesn't change that I'm your good girl, does it?"

"Never."

How To Train Your Dragon:

The message was just nice. I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I used to be a huge dragon nerd as a kid and dragons just weren't that prevalent in media here, especially not as friendly figures. I still love HTTYD and it's sequels nowadays.

It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and one of the few movies I watched that wasn't a barbie movie, it's just really cool.

Best movie featuring dragons period. The pure wish fulfillment fantasy of having a highly intelligent fantasy creature companion that can fly and doesn’t mind being ridden like a horse, therefore also the best execution of the dragon rider trope in all of fiction. Extremely funny, adding to the comedy is the fact that only adults have Scottish accents and all the teens have an American accent. So good that even its tv show follow up was decent by extension. The bit where Hiccup is trying to earn Toothless' trust and they start to work together changed me on a fundamental level.

I LOVE IT SO MUCHSHJKBSKHGDK I have a bone dysplasia which causes some bones to be a little bit more hollow and whenever I would feel a pain in my top back, 8 year old me was like ''woah I'm growing wings its my time to fly like toothless'' lol and it was always a dream of mine to fly. Weirdly enough I could relate to toothless because the "not being able to fly but you should be" felt like an allegory to a lot of my life! It gave me hope when he WAS able to after the help of others + the care he always needed + that mechanic wing thing made me feel like with the right ''recipe'' could help me get better too. My favourite scene is the first flight!! I love the animation for it, it makes me feel like im flying through the clouds too! The soundtrack is amazing too, I still cry to the songs.

I could write an entire essay about how much I love this movie, it truly is one of the best films ever made to me. Utterly flawless on both a technical level and a story-telling level. Not to mention the score oh my GOD the score of this movie changed my life. There are too many scenes that are so impactful, but the Forbidden Friendship scene has to be one of the best. Test Drive too.

This is literally my favorite movie of all time. This movie got me through the worst times in my life. It’s about love and friendship and all that lovely goopy stuff and it’s also fucking gorgeous.

THE cinematic masterpiece of our generation. On god.

This movie is an absolute masterpiece, the animation is pretty, the score is perfect, the relationship between Toothless and Hiccup is so sweet, Toothless is absolutely adorable. Definitely one of DreamWork's best films.

It's a beautifully animated movie about an unconventional viking boy named Hiccup finding his place in a world where dragons and vikings are constantly at odds, and how he changes the world around him. The dragon designs are unique and beautiful, and the vikings are larger than life and match the exaggerated setting.

Who on Tumblr DOESN'T want a dragon best friend I ask you. I would kill to have what Hiccup & Toothless have.

It does a brilliant job balancing tropes in a way that subverts and plays into them. There is so much in it for both adults and kids, it doesn't look like other animated films, it feels more grounded and in that realism it becomes so beautiful. The friendship in the film feels very real despite one of the characters being unable to talk! Forbidden Friendship scene is, in my opinion, the greatest scene in the history of cinema. The music, the lighting, the cinematography, the pacing, the emotions, it is practically perfect in every way. I could go on but I think ya get it.

God this movie defined my childhood and it's still so good when I rewatch it now. I'm guessing you'll have had this submitted a good few times bc it goddamn deserves it but. Hiccup is so relatable and !! dragons !! big cute dragons whose animation models are based on cats!! based fr

I have many fond childhood memories of this movie and in particular I loved how my cousin would "talk" for Toothless (cousin was babysitting us when we first watched the movie). Another thing is The SCORE. The music is iconic and awe inspiring to this day. That first time when Hiccup and Toothless fly together and it Works and the score absolutely goes HARD, I loose my breath every time. It's great. Also have you seen Toothless he's an adorable dragon and a badass, what's not to love?

Makes me cry every time because Hiccup and Toothless are such good friends and they love each other and end up as two halves of a boy dragon soulmate sandwich also the music is extremely good who doesn’t like dragons anyway.

It's the story of a beautiful friendship forming between a boy who doesn't fit in and a dragon who is the last of his kind. It's so cute. And it shows positive representation of disability, Hiccup and Toothless become disabled in ways that meaningfully parallel each other. Hiccup makes a prosthetic tail fin! And Toothless is just so cute!

The sound track is amazing

Honestly everything is phenomenal. It has a good use of comedy and an excellent story and character development. There are also countless beautiful and awe-inspiring scenes supported by an amazing score.

Up:

It is a very emotional movie about an old man learning to still enjoy life even though his wife died.

Such a beautiful film about loss

Watching shows/movies together.

How often do you watch shows together, their preferred genre or sub-genre, and whether they continue to watch without you when you clearly schedule to watch together, and their preferred show.

horror | suspense or action

Aegon likes very much series that give him some adrenaline, or that make him scared, that's why horror, suspense or action series or movies are his favorites, he doesn't like psychological horror very much, since he thinks it's quite stopped and sometimes he can't understand completely, or join the dots correctly, he's lazy you know, always wanting the explanations to come without him having to look for it, you tell him to shut up and pay attention to how scary and disturbing it all is for a fact and he's like, "and when does the scare really come!

I'll tell you, he's scary enough, yes, he gets scared in some movie and you're looking at him like, that's not even scary, it was obvious the devil was going to show up, and he's hugging you because he wasn't really expecting it, and you laugh and hug him back, sometimes not to make him feel bad, or better yet to make him feel good, you hug him and climb up on his lap saying that you are scared even though you are not and he is shitting himself but he gets a poker face and is like, "yes I am scared, but I am your prince and I will protect you from these demons" is cute and he laughs when you are scared and he is not.

Action and survival series are his favorite, he is the type that liked round six and you were team Alice in Borderland so you introduced him and he was like "what a fucking series" would he survive the games, of course not but say yes, just to see him happy, he gets all sad when his favorite character died, yes he cursed the series because they killed his favorite character, who in his vision carried the whole series on his back, and now it is boring as fuck.

His favorite series would for sure be Alice in Borderland or the boys, only because he secretly loves superheroes, he thinks he would be a brutish Billy but in reality he is just a sedentary version of the homelander.

His favorite movie for sure would be Saw, Deadpool, The conjuring and Bullet train.

He hardly watches any series or movies without you, first because he himself before you only knew how to drink, go out and fuck, and sometimes just sleep, most of the time actually, then you came along and he was like, yeah staying up at 5 in the morning watching series instead of dancing in a club is not that bad, and it is just amazing, he loves it and he really loves it.

The way there is a lot of bullshit around you, and no alcohol, he secretly started to have an addiction to chocolate instead of whiskey thanks to you congratulations, now he would rather have a bar of pure sugar and cocoa than a horrible Marlboro cigarette.

You are usually in a cuddling position, with you on top of him lying on the huge sofa in his apartment, he likes the feeling of your bodies being together but not in a sexual way, usually one of his hands is firmly on your waist, and the other is with some candy in hand, sometimes a cigarette but you hate it when he smokes lying down, especially when he once dropped garbage on you, what he was stopping his hands are usually busy too, but otherwise always hugging you too.

You don't like going to the movies in the cinema much mainly because it doesn't have the same comfort as his bed, and generally you prefer his tv than, a pc or something.

drama | sitcom or daily life series

Jace is almost a chameleon I would say, he sees if anything that catches his attention, but obviously his gaze is usually more glued on sitcoms or series that portrays some kind of daily life, be it teenagers, at work or something more mature, long series are a love and hate, he loves not having to be every week having to look for what to watch, since when he starts watching something, he doesn't stop until it's over, and he always needs to fill this void.

So long series can keep him hooked for a long time, at the same time Jacaerys is someone who is a little too critical, so as the seasons go by he might dislike it more and more, like when he decided to marathon all the seasons of How I Met Your Mother, but he never gives up, he has the philosophy to always finish everything he starts, what you can and what you can't agree on, if you are the short series type or watch too many at once, it can make him confused like, we were watching this one because you want to switch to another one, and you look at him "Jacaerys Velaryon, we have seen 5 seasons of the same series in the last weeks".

So yes miss freie, but apart from all that, he loves having that time with you, and he would never watch it without you, or at least without your permission, let's face it, sometimes it can be repetitive, you have a lot of conversation about the series and issue especially if it deals with more serious stuff in general, If it is a movie that is too crazy, and you can't watch it together, believe me, you have been up all night talking about the amazing plot twist of the series you are watching, and it was like my head exploded, I didn't expect it, and you were laughing or crying about it.

About movies, you see everything in general, he really enjoys going to the movies, it's a good way to of calling you out to go out and so on, and he especially likes it when it's some kind of horror because you always lodge yourself in his arms, and he also likes to be your savior, he doesn't get scared so easily, I can also say that Jacaerys is the kind of person who loves a typical romance, he's just a romantic guy and all, and when the actor says a romantic and heartbreaking line, he'll get your attention, and he'll say the same words to you, and you'll be just like, what a fucking man, then they'll kiss, in short your courtship is a romance movie.

He hates movies of dogs dying that just, don't stop, it kills him inside, the last 2 movies where the dog dies that you took him to watch he just cried, he cried, it was so heartbreaking, he remembered his beloved Vermax, and how only painful because he feels the same connection, so yes you have destroyed him for, it requires after hugging session between him, you and poor Vermax who is not understanding why his owner is crying, hugging saying that you two are the most important things to him, and doesn't understand why in every movie, the protagonist loses the girl or or his life partner.

investigation | documentaries

Aemond has peculiar and immutable tastes, he hates horror movies not because of the scare, but because everything is so fake and predictable, he hates romance just because it's so melodramatic that he just doesn't like it, he hates drama because, the genre says it all, if he's going to be sad, he won't watch a movie that takes 1 hour of his life, sometimes more, and he hates mostly everything reminiscent or at least almost everything reminiscent of fantasy.

But he doesn't spend all day in a book, to his delight obviously, since you felt that you simply didn't spend that much time with him, even if you like all of them or some of the genres mentioned above, I can tell you that trying to force him to watch them will be a very bad idea.

He loves crime series, or those that make him think and get out of his thought bubble, the best way to win him over is to put on something like that, but he hates things that go on too long, so anthology series are his favorites, law series also always catch his interest, if you have the same tastes congratulations, you'll make him sit for a long time on the couch/bed with you watching, but he's not the type to talk much, so it can be a little boring, especially if you don't pay attention.

But it is so funny, when the shock of finding out the killer comes, you are like, I didn't understand what he looked like, and he spends a long, long time explaining to you how he already knew, maybe you already knew too, but the fact that he is so interested and talks like an expert entertains you more than the series.

Once you told him that you found a magnificent movie about investigation, and he was like, tell me more, and you watched it knowing the horror he was going to look, but you made him promise that he would watch it with you until the end, detail, the movie was Scooby-Doo, he looked at you for a long time, but to soften him up you just kissed him and it worked for a while, he hated most of the actors yes, their shallow dramas annoyed him, but the investigation was kind of? Amusing, he won't admit that ok, seeing you laughing at some stupid joke, made up for everything, even if he would never admit that either.

He also loves documentaries, even though he is boring about many things, he just likes to know, so the best time to introduce him to various things, for sure would be through this, you have seen documentaries of everything from serial killers, to the first video game ever invented, it's just that he likes to know, and if you like it as much as he does, he is happy to share, and spend much of his time with you just watching television.

His favorite series is True Detective, he just of the series, as I said, police investigation and antagonistic series, win him over quite easily, he would like you to watch it with him, if you don't like it that's ok, but the fact that he wants to share with you something that is maybe his favorite thing, no matter if he has already watched it with you he will watch it again.

He is not a movie man, he doesn't like movie theaters very much, it's noisy most of the time, everybody together in one place, he hates it, and he has no privacy at all, but his favorite movie would be Knives out, first because in a way, it reminds him a lot of his family, greedy bastards (he puts himself in the wheel) with some futile thoughts, and a patriarch that in his view, is weak, he also loves that everybody is suspicious, he even suspected the children, everybody, and was horrified by the ending.

fantasy | anime

Yes he is otaku yes you are otaku, yes you breathe anime and fantasy series and movies, Lucerys even before he met you always liked anime and fantasy in general mainly because it has an extra meaning in his life, even going beyond series and movies to books and manga, he always looked for it as a way to not only escape from his reality, but just the fact of knowing a new world already makes his eyes shine, he has this since he went to see the Lord of the Rings with Laenor and Jacaerys, maybe also because it was his father who introduced him to this whole world, for the first time maybe he found something they both had in common.

He is a fictionalized one I would say, owning several miniature and even life-size dolls, and when he met you he was honestly insecure as always about liking such things, maybe it was the first time he questioned his tastes, Aegon thought it was all childish and childish of course, and made bad jokes with him constantly for his entertainment, Aemond even not speaking much especially with the past disagreements that marked their relationship thinks the same as this, he knows that the only person who really understands him were his late father, and his brother.

So when you enjoyed and watched with him it honestly made your whole body hot, he would get so excited to talk to you about some movie, series or anime that came out, and LITERALLY beg you to watch it together, and it didn't take much, you would get into everything Luke proposed mainly because you were bewitched by his silly smile and growing excitement.

Obviously in terms of genre you may have disagreements, even though Luke consumes any kind of genre, but when you propose to watch something, it's with you or he won't even research it, he likes to have you by his side while you're surrounded by food, watching all the extended version Lord of the Rings movies, it is so much better than watching alone, he doesn't feel like he is renting someone else's time, seeing your own joy in being with him, and that is with everything, movies, books, manga HQ, anything you agree to watch together stays that way, and he gets so upset if you don't watch it without him, it is a betrayal! !!!

Just lots of kissing and hugging to make him forgive you, and it always works, ALWAYS.

He is the biggest nerd of course, he does cosplay and gets all silly when you do it with them seeing you guys as a couple, even though everyone thinks it's a bit childish, no one denies the fact that it's fucking adorable, and how much you compliment each other get into character.

Your favorite anime with are OP and Haikyuu even though he is a fucking sedentary of course, he made you watch all over a thousand episodes, he didn't have to ask much, your heart eyes convinced him and now you are cracking up you are like, yes watch 300 episode and he is like, yes there are 700 more to go love, but that's ok he went over everything with you.

He doesn't like it much but maybe "Your name" has become his favorite anime movie, not so much because of the characters but because of feeling that you would be his soulmate and that you would be that way connected for eternity, not only that, your dating ring is based a lot on the red thread, you don't like the movie either ( yes maybe I don't like your name and I'm representing that Sorry) but in your heart, you and Lucerys are soulmates.

His favorite fantasy movie is obviously Lord of the Rings, he might be a little bit in doubt because he is also an avatar freak, but without any doubt, Middle Earth is in his heart for the rest of his life, it's where his passion, his history started.

His favorite series is The witcher and they both agree that Henry Cavill is a hottie, yes he gets a bit teary eyed when you compliment him, but they have come to a consensus that this man was a sin on earth, and he turns a blind eye to your little fan attack, only to make you jealous when he drools over Yennefer.

Did Silver kill Flint?

I keep seeing cold ass takes in the Black Sails side of tumblr that make my blood boil.

Look, I got into Black Sails in 2017, three weeks after the finale aired. Back then, there seemed to be an understanding that the "Silver killed Flint" interpretation was just a fringe theory from straight people made uncomfortable by the queer lead getting a happy ending. Personally, it was my first encounter with the phrase "unbury your gays" (having learnt "bury your gays" a year earlier with The 100). It seemed to be generally accepted that Flint lived, and that this was the whole point.

Now, it would appear that a shift has happened in the fandom, where the idea of Silver killing Flint is no longer treated as a theory by straight weirdos but as a canon, onscreen event, and these posts come from queer fans. It seems to come from younger fans who were about 12 or 13 in 2017. It's so mindboggling to me.

The arguments for this Silver-Killed-Flint thing is usually the same two: birds flying away and Silver's men turning around in the forest, as in reaction to a noise, which is interpreted as a gunshot.

Like, I'm just elaborating on a rant I sent to my friends earlier today here but, if Silver killed Flint, then :

Why would we be shown an entire sequence with one of Silver's henchmen looking for Thomas where he is?

If Thomas and Flint are dead, why aren't we shown their deaths? It's an actual rule in cinema that a character whose death isn't shown on screen isn't dead, a rule that the show does follow (we see Billy's funeral but not his corpse). Besides, Black Sails doesn't shy away from showing death on screen, even for main characters. Then, why not show how Thomas died instead of telling us? Why not show us Silver shooting Flint? The writers trust their viewers to understand the pattern, and understand that the reason we do not see their deaths is because they aren't dead.

Why would Silver bring up Thomas to Flint if he'd planned on killing him? Or if, as I've also seen it said, it was just a lie he made on the spot for Madi ?

And talking about Madi, I've seen A LOT of people saying she would never forgive Silver. And to that I genuinely have to ask, have you seen their last appearence in the show? I dont mean their argument in the cabin, I mean the scene where Silver sits on top of a hill and turns around to find Madi waiting for him on the path. I mean the scene where he walks towards her and she waits for him. So, my question here, if she wasn't gonna forgive Silver, why is she waiting for him on that hill? Nevermind the fact that Treasure Island's Long John Silver is in a relationship with a Black woman (I've seen posts saying that could be Max, and really wtf??), what is the point of showing us this scene if she's not gonna forgive him? Why not stop their arc at the cabin where she sends him away?

At the time when Black Sails' finale aired, Supernatural was still queerbaiting its audience, and Sherlock ended in a fucking shitshow. People were throwing fits over Bill Potts, Doctor Who's first ever onscreen lesbian companion because she was a lesbian with a masculine name. A year before that, The 100, a very popular tv show at the time, had just killed it's only lesbian character and faced so much uproar and backlash for it. (That was my entry into the LGBT+ community, by the way : the first character to make me think I might actually like women getting killed on screen two scenes after having had sex with the female lead). Sense8's two-hour long finale and Love, Simon wouldn't air for another year.

So yeah, if you weren't into queer media back in 2017 (and omg I sound like such an old twat), I don't think you can understand just how important that ending, with Flint being reunited with the love of his life after so much pain and loss, was.

If your interpretation of Black Sails is that the events of Treasure Island happened the way the book tells you, then I'm sorry to tell you this but you completely missed the point of the show.

watched across the spider-verse twice now and as an avid spidey enjoyer i am beaming with joy.

here's some of my thoughts without spoiling too much:

- i want peter b. parker to adopt me

- i am so proud of miles

- the different animation styles were perfect. every single shot a canvas that you could hang in a museum. the dimensions shown were all so beautiful and the art in general made me sob. probs to everyone who worked so hard to bring this masterpiece to life

- genuinely, i really fucking loved how the emotions on gwen's earth were expressed by the art changing colors, luminosity and the water colors fading

- earth-65 was straight out of a comic i had goosebumps all over my body

- the animation was even more vibrant than in the first movie i couldn't believe my eyes that that's something people DREW

- nueva york looks like that "society if....." meme i was giggling in my seat when that thought popped into my mind

- dark garfield made me holler. caught me off guard but made me holler

- miguel o'hara is such an interesting character watch me inhale all of his comics in the next couple of weeks

- i'm so happy that peter b. parker hasn't lost his edge to be unserious he's my favourite adaptation of spider-man (next to andrew's) his character wasn't ruined don't let the dude bros fool you

- MILES IS SPIDER-MAN

- mrs morales and mr davis are the parents everyone deserves to have

- i've never felt more proud to be a spider-man fan than during this movie :) my little nerd heart was so pleased and happy and overstimulated and flabbergasted and nostalgic and awestruck and

- atsv made a laughing stock out of the entirety of mcu films that are about the multiverse i cheered

- animation. is. cinema.

- the inclusion and diversity made me cry. everyone can feel connected to this movie which makes me so unbelievably happy. kinda wished spidey therapist had more screen time though (as an aspiring therapist myself i found the idea so cool and funny)

- there's one specific scene where i personally felt like vibrating at the speed of light out of excitement

- i want to live in the spider society HQ. take all my things i'm gonna sleep in the lobby

- all the spider-people are my people fr

conclusion: i'm not the same i was one movie ago. the wait was more than worth it. i love spider-man so much

#spider man across the spider verse #review without too many giveaways #across the spider verse #spider man #i'm so in awe with this movie #i need to rewatch it again immediately #life changing #best movie experience ever #spider society #miguel o'hara #<3

Across the Spiderverse is a Visual Delight

I know, I am not saying anything new, in fact there is probably a bunch of people who know a lot more about animation and cinema who will do more justice to this movie than anything I say ever will.

But I am still in awe to how amazing this movie is.

I am not really a movie person, most of the time I am left feeling I need to stay focus for too long (which usually doesn't work, I normally take breaks while watching a movie,) and that the story ends up being too short for my liking.

I'm a story person first a foremost, my preferred medium is writing. Tho I do prefer animation when I can have it; mostly because is easier to process, remember and the exaggerated expressions makes it all the easier for me to read their emotions.

But that's not the point.

The point is, that for the longest time, I didn't even see a difference between watching a movie in cinemas vs at home.

Everyone talks about the big screen, the sound and all that jazz, but for me it really never make that much difference. Big screen, better sound quality (too loud for my liking in some cases,) which yeah, is nice, but 99% of the time I would rather be watching at home because not needing to go out and be in my comfortable bed.

This movie? This movie is the whole reason I understand why people would go to the Theatre.

And is not that I was watching movies with low budget where they didn't care too much about making it look artistically nice; I watched Puss in Boots The last Wish, in theatres, I remember seeing the first Avatar movie, who was also screening in a theatre with better sounds and visual quality than the other movies screening at the time.

(It wasn't IMAX, I don't remember the name but if you think there was IMAX theatres in Venezuela in 2009, you are tripping; I don't think there is one there now.)

This movie however, I remember before the first 20 minutes hit, I was thinking that the ticket (who was more expensive than a regular one since the regular screenings for the movie were already sold out,) was already worth my money.

And I thought the exact same thing the next day, when I went to watch the movie again.

I bought the ticket on an impulse, and I remember going thinking "this was stupid, I am probably going to regret watching the movie so soon."

I didn't, the same thing happened, in a few minutes I was already thinking it was worth the money.

And is also taking my entire might not to watch the movie a third time before I go to see it with a friend this week.

It makes me angry to think in a few months I will not be able to see this movie with this quality and sound, this is a movie that looks so gorgeous in the big screen that feels anyone who is trying to pirate it right now is cheating themselves of an amazing experience.

Did I mention already that I had never seeing a movie twice in a theatre before? I imagine you can guess it, but you cannot imagine how much it means to me going from "eh fuck it I will wait until is online" to "Currently fighting myself each day trying not to see it again SO SOON."

Is a marvellous experience I think anyone who is fan of animation, spiderman or hell, cinema in general, should experience. This movie goes to the limits of what animation can do, and show that there is so much room to grow in a medium everyone wants to leave as a "kids thing."

Goddammit the credits are gorgeous too! I remember staying for the credits the second viewing and I loved how they looked.

And the logo at the beginning! It give me chills! A FUCKING LOGO.

I am not going to pretend I am coherent about this movie, I am not, in fact I already accepted that I cannot be normal about this movie and is probably a dead give away of my ADHD.

Which is another reason I love this movie because I swear seeing this thing is like having a dopamine rush for two hours straight.

I need to stop myself because I am becoming more and more incoherent, but seriously, if you have the watch to see it in cinemas, do it, if you can see it in IMAX or something better, do it.

I feel seeing this movie was seeing a new chapter in animation history, and it makes me all the more excited for what is to come.

good omens season 2

ep 1

damn, getting to see crowly as a not fallen angel? this can't be good. blasphemy to the highest order, especially to creationists, i LOVE IT! he's so enthusiastic about the universe it's infectious and the theology is just so saddening. i mean that how i think about this type of theology in general, but it does a really good job of presenting it. "how much trouble could i get into for just asking a few questions?"... yea... this type of theology does not appreciate simple questions.

azeeaaa... that guy just forgiving is both nice characterization, as well as a slap in the face of the theology. he can just forgive, unlike his god.

"who told you i was naked?" such a great inversion of a biblical line. this show is way too fucking clever... Also What The Fuck Is Going On? why does Gabriel suddenly know nothing with mysterious prophesies? "his royal smuggness" fuck that's a quote to steal.

on the one side they seem to be setting up a saphic romance, on the other it was shot down hard. so now i'm curious, was the shotdown a lie, will something happen, or something more intersting?

the sound effect for dusting, fucking hell this season will be glorious.

that... oh that's no not a healthy relationship. and this doesn't read like worried, this seems controlling. now that can be rooted in worried, but isn't good. but since we've not seen the character i doubt we'll see the relationship mended but broken for a better one, which for some reason, at least at this stage, may not feel great. the problematic person will still be problematic in the next relationship.

ep 2 the clue

"i command thee, begone!" "no" "no?" "no, thank you? you see, i have a permit." "a permit? from whom?"{disgruntled, as if someone didn't tell them they had to bring some money for lunch so now they'll be slightly hungry for a couple hours} still the best writing.

oh, tackling job? yea, that story certainly doesn't paint god in a good light. absolutely amazing story to show when you want to make heaving one of two bad guys (which does theologically make perfect sense)

oh, the small miracle worked... now lets hope the scene won't be awkward and/or long.

oh fuck, they really make you empathise with job and his wife. of all the people talking about job, be it christian or atheist that's an angle i've never seen. love that crowley is so consistent. a bastard, but one with some hart.

"i think the message was... if you have questions... come back when you can make a whale"... i mean honestly... about as logical a conclusion to draw from job as anything else. damn this edition of job is amazing.

assertive azeaa... that guy, is weird. it's not out of character, not fully, just weird.

the use of job is SO amazing. 1. i points to all the fucked up parts of job. 2. it actually focuses on the fucked up part of job. not the atheist talking points for "look at how fucked god is in job", there is that, but it actually makes it a point. it's not just a cinema sins ding against god (first time i'm fully internalizing how bad cinema sins dings are) but actually focuses on it. 3. perfectly integrated into the story. it's a fucked up story that makes total sense to be the course of azeaa-that guy's first sin. we saw him bend the rules in season 1 by for instance giving adam his flaming sword at the garden of eden, but that wasn't a sin, it was stretching, but not breaking the rules. this was just breaking the rules, and it made perfect sense and explains how the deal was made. and holy shit the reuse of the line "but you said it wasn't [lonely]" "i'm a demon. i lied."

ep 3

it's impressive how good these actors are at playing not knowing how to human. seriously just try to pick up something having never held it in your life, it's hard. just try to hold something mundane in a way that shows you're confused by the concept of holding it.

people have been bothering her about her love life a lot already, and it itself is already draining. and now an angel with NO knowledge on how to human is going to be blunt about it? oh yea, they got some time to arrange things.

ah, heaven trying to justify the poor having to do desperate things they (well, the rich that made them up) disapprove of to make ends meet. it fails spectacularly.

... what is going on in hell? are they going to make hell... better? i'd be up for it, but it's a wild concept with the theology they're going with.

oh, breaking down the body snatcher thing that was going down. poor people Need the money, doctors in training Need bodies, and the legal supply is simply too low. not delivering bodies was just worse for everyone.

he wants to threaten, but as always he has no power. a traitor demon the demons just don't want to really deal with, still able to do miracles, but unable to stand up to the forces of heaven or hell. all he has is deception and knowledge on how humans work. just barely enough to keep his friend safe.

ep 4

90% of the episode is a flashback to a fun story, yet seems totally unrelated. then in the last 10% big setups for future episodes, not least of which a DEMON INVASION ON the book shop... love the contrast.

ep 5

oh, that matchbox is suddenly a LOT more important... maybe? it's also such a great description of the amnesia. and i love the grow? change? niceness of crowley.

"they stand on their own two feed, like the government said". this feels like a dig at something. looking it up: yup. it's sarcastically using lines of the British equivalent of people who tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

look azeaa... that guy, i know you mean well, but this is not... well. this is weird and bonkers and unsettling.

ep 6

crowley has a very interesting plan, while we see how the ladies are similar.

oh shit. crowley was pretty high up. also "i wasn't always a demon and they never change their passwords" is such a fun line, while also making perfect sense. why would you need to change your password in heaven?

the fly?! THE FLY JIM WAS SWATTING AT AT EPISODE 1 OR 2!?!

are they doing this? are they really doing This?! i mean it makes sense, hell love was a theme this season, i just didn't expect it.

the ending was turning extremely bad (it'll still end extremely bad) and then they bring up that in the next part they want to tackle the second coming. THE FUCK AMAZING YES IT"S IN THE WORKS BUT WILL STILL TAKE A LONG TIME FUCK

also realized that it points to the big conflict between crowley and azeaa... that guy: one still fundamentally believes in the system while the other doesn't. sure both have problems with how things are done and go around the system plenty of times, but one still believes that the core of their side, of the system, is good while the other calls both of them wankers and wants nothing to do with either. and it's probably which side i agree with more.

Virginity is a concept I do not suscribe to I will be a saint virgin holy maiden forever <- being sexually abused makes that hard to determine

This isn't really embarrassing but for me it felt really embarrassing I bled the first time and it just made me feel really bad

#thank you for all the questions annonie #soleil asks #had to check if it was all of them

[1892]

i’m so sorry i didn’t expect you to be x-posting but you’ve activated my autism. quicksilver is magneto’s son in the comics too but they do it better and more chill and go in depth with it and stuff… and also don’t white-wash him and americanize his name LMAO. and that ranking hurts as an original trilogy apologist but i get it i do… logan (2017) peak cinema tho fr

OMGGGG yes okay im not a comic book guy but i've seen all the movies at least twice except the newest three b/c i think they're so trash (and yes they whitewash excessively) (not that any whitewashing is acceptable) and just generally suck, apocalypse especially

do not get me wrong, that ranking is of mostly movies that i love so no low ranking except the bottom three means much. i love the og series and grew up on it so i could never trash talk at all ...one xmen movie i'll hate on is the wolverine that movie sucked but it wasn't part of the og trilogy so it doesn't matter...just a shitty wolverine movie. and wolverine is my dad so

logan was a great movie but honestly it was just so fucked up to see two of my favorite characters of all time just. deteriorate and die. like how fucked up is that...that's why first class ranks higher bc as a viewing experience it's way more enjoyable...but logan is just great. MWAH okay this is so disorganized but i just woke up and I LOVE XMEN

Get Down Make Love

I have thoughts.

I just listened to that song being discussed on the Queenpod, (Episode 19, starting around the 18:30) and while I usually really enjoy the discussion even when I don't agree, this one left a lot to be desired, I felt.

They talked a lot about how the song isn't sexy, how it's trying to hard, how it's taking itself too seriously (or is it all just tongue in cheek?) etc. And in particular they talked about how the lyrics "make love" and "inside your beds" were kind of old-fashioned and not as raunchy as they want to sound and...

Guys, you're missing some serious historical perspective here. Both generally, and with regards to Freddie in particular.

First of all, this wasn't the time of r-rated scenes in prime tv-shows and bestselling BDSM novels, this was years before Nine Inch Nails or Madonna's Erotica. This was 1977. Only three years before, the (soft core) Emmanuelle film had been censored before it could be shown in British Cinema. In 1976, when the sex pistols said the words "What a fucking rotter" live on television it was a national scandal that got the interviewer suspended for two weeks. "Get Down Make Love" blasting through the speakers would have hit differently.

Second, this is Freddie's first song that is about sex. Not about love and romance, not some camp innuendo about high-class escorts, but about sex, pure an simple. He was thirty-one years old at the time, and had been living with Mary until the year before. He had only been exploring adult relationships with other men and the gay club scene for two or three years. For a man who had been hiding this part of himself for so long, and who is still in the process of figuring it all out and being open about it, stepping up to the microphone and singing "Make love inside your beds everybody" and all sorts of barely veiled references to fucking and blow-jobs is revolutionary. He's horny, and he's not going to apologise for it.

Obviously, I don't know what Freddie felt and thought about this song. Perhaps he did just have a giggle at "You suck my mind, teehee, I blow your, erm, head" (in fact, I bet he did). But given that this coincided with the Mineshaft t-shirts and leather stage-wear, I don't think it's too much of a conjecture to view this as part of his fascination with the gay scene and it's open, brazen celebration of sex. Reportedly (and I'd have to dig up the original source), the middle section was even inspired by the kind of soundtrack that would have been running in the dark rooms of the Mineshaft and similar clubs.

In addition, they completely failed to note that this song was a staple of Queen's live shows for the next five years, where they did some pretty creative stuff. So to answer the question that John Robins asks, "I wonder what Roger and Brian thought about that song": seems like they thought it was pretty neat.

[with-the-same-tattoos]

I think the fundamental difference between the hobbit and lotr is the target audience. The hobbit was written for kids with this slight cyclical undertone, bilbo comes off as quite naive to me at least, kinda for kids to project themselves onto, and becomes a story about reevaluating the trust between yourself and the people around you, even if you care for them, which is a pretty good thing for kids to learn.

Lotr however was written for cynical adults, and the purpose for me at least was to allow downtrodden adults to add a bit of whimsy and joy back into their lives. You get beat down a lot when you’re older, and when you’re younger, everything seems great, both books aim to restore a bit of balance in their target audience, which reflects through their adaptations.

As someone who watched the hobbit first, it’s a lot better viewing experience when you’re a young kid huddled into the local cinema with your entire family (seriously there was like fifteen of us for all three movie releases, my grandma was fuckin hype), I fucking loved the barrel scene, and I still do. It’s probably one of my favourite fight scenes ever.

However, I wish the movie had worked a bit harder on goofy aspects, tonal dissonance is definitely a bit of a problem on reviewing for me, and also just not dragged poor Orlando Bloom back. Legolas does not need to be there. He’s not there in the book. It’s just weird.

I love the Hobbit movies, they’re flawed but I feel like people compare them wayyyy too much to lotr. They may be in the same universe and contain linked characters, but the books are fundamentally written for different people in different stages of their lives, and that shines through the movies.

Kinda like how the Silmarillion is written for people who want to suffer.

^^^^^ i think you have a lot of good points here!!!! Again, I DID ENJOY the hobbit movies. They were fun!!! I think Thorin was a lot of fun- I wasn't expecting to enjoy him as much.

I haven't read the books yet so I can't be too specific what I think abt the difference- ill get back to that when I have but itll take a while to finish, I think 😭💞

I havent, this far, however felt like lotr is cynical????? I think it might be like a difference between how we two see the word!!! Not sure. To me cynisism feels like that "well, nothing matters, things are shit for the sake of being shit" type of nihilism, and Hobbit comes to a lot closer to that w SOME of the characters, specifically in the water-town-whatever. I think i just mainly didn't like the town leader & Alfrids inclusion. It might be unfair of me to compare, but it is. Seriously such a stark contrast to having Théoden (cursed to silence and afterwards hindered by doubts of his own power and of loyalty, feeling alone) and Grima (clearly desperate for something; approval by others; coniving and cruel but made so by desperation) vs. dude likes gold & dude likes gold.

I might be hanging onto this one point bcs of my. MASSIVe crush on Grima, but 👁 — 👁 im not a professional movie critic I'm a dude w a crush on fuxkinh Grima Wormtongue from Lotr.... 💞💞

Anyways, yeah, idk, that just felt OFF to me. Idk id the books will have the same thing, but if they do, I gta say, not super into it? Maybe im being pretentious askinh for more complex characters in childrens media but AgAIN. The reason I was so enamored w Grima as a kid was. He was complex. That was interesting.

And you defi get that w the dwarves in hobbit!!! I'm just never a big fan of drawing clear lines between the enemy & the protags. I don't like othering evil characters, m a big believer in that seeing them as someone like us makes us understand that anyone can make bad choises, and makes us concider our own choises more?

I think the comedy to both of us is the issue. The baddies were mostly used for comedy, and the comedic parts were the least fave for me in general :( dunno.

I also have a mild weird thing for uncanniness and weirdness in movies. vISUALLY im more into Lotr; the weird constant fake moon light, older cameras, and i love the orc makeups..... augjdjj.. just more for me. But hobbits were fun!!!!

Sorry im rambling this is incoherent but u had fun thouthts so i thought id share some of my own ; v ;

[delusion-of-negation]

What's your opinion on Midsommar in general? I see it applauded as the height of cinema everywhere, and don't take me wrong, I do not think that it is a bad movie, however, in my opinion, the execution felt...off? I am unsure how to describe it. Despite finding the execution lacking, I liked the premise, I am a big fan of psychological horror, I liked the message. BUT I definitely felt like nearly 3 hours was not it. I don't see anyone else complain about the length though, so I'm wondering if that's just a me + my family problem. I am the last person to say "There is nothing happening in this film, I hate it!", ask anyone, you'll find that I find most films, which people describe as painfully slow-paced, engaging. But holy shit, when watching Midsommar, I thought to myself "There is nothing happening." Personally, I thought that many scenes had no purpose, and look, I get that not everything in an art piece has to have a purpose, but when your film is 3 hours long, maybe you should cut something out. Because a very thrilling 3 hours long film will definitely engage people more than a slow-paced 3 hours long movie. People will get bored. I mean, wasn't Endgame like 3 hours long (or was that Infinity War? Oh well)? I have yet to hear someone say that the pacing was painful and boring. I simply think that maybe it is not a good idea to drag out a drama / psychological horror film for that long. Although, some people do like extreme slowburns so I guess some were fine with it, but as I said I'm considered very tolerant when it comes to slow films and even I felt like death was near by the time it ended.

I know it sounds like I hate the movie, but I promise that I do like it. I just wish it wasn't so goddamn long and I do find some decisions rather odd. Like the hive mind screaming of the women. I am not sure if they thought it'd be like creepy but honestly after some time it became funny as all shit. And mainly just plain annoying for the ears. If it lasted like 5 seconds, but holy fuck from what I remember, that scene was LONG (or there were 2+ of those scenes. Either one long one or several shorter. idk). After a while I started to feel like a bull. And you know what I find to be perhaps the weirdest part? You know when they kill one of the guys for like pissing on their tree or whatever? When the other guy goes looking for him / his notes? They show a naked/deformed(?) man standing fully in the dark, if I recall right, you can see that there is something very wrong with him though, like in the Frankenstein's monster way, and the lad recognises him as the guy who was presumed to have been murdered. This is never addressed again (I think later Danni finds everyone's dead bodies in hay or something but either I just forgot or this one is not there). Like...what WAS that??? So did they kill the guy? Did they lobotomise and torture him?? For what? What was that?? Honestly I think that I zoned out during the last hour of the movie so maybe it was in fact addressed. If so, could you tell me what the hell that was? Because I'm...I'm really curious about that.

I feel really bad saying this, because you wrote so much and I wanna add to the conversation, but I haven't watched the whole movie, only some parts to understand what everyone was talking about - that's probably part of why I find the set design so disorientating, idk if it has establishing shots that just weren't in the clips I've watched or if it genuinely is like that in the movie, but I couldn't tell where people were or what things were or where one area was relative to another. that's my main criticism of what I've seen tbh, but the length is a bit off putting especially with this info (I love The Martian, which is a pretty slow paced film, but I hate Les Affamés/Ravenous because sweet fuck all happens in that movie except like two dad jokes and the mouse trap scene and one lady going feral for five seconds, the rest is just people silently looking sad). while Midsommar made me confront the fact that sometimes even I can momentarily buy into the false idea that presenting something = endorsing it when not at least vaguely stating "this is bad" before my brain clicks back into place and tells me not to be a dumbass, and I like what I've seen of other works and the philosophy of the person (they made a short film about a son raping his dad because they went "what am I not supposed to make" then made it), I don't know if that appreciation for how they've widened my self-awareness is enough to make me sit through a movie that just didn't appeal to me in terms of pure entertainment value from the clips and trailers that I did watch.

So... here we are, 3 months after the last concert.

I actually wanted to write something right after the concert, but I was busy having those weird "consensual breakup" feelings. You know, when you're kinda happy but also want to cry out your eyes for a week straight? Yeah, sucks. Also the photos of Jo and Fabi crying on stage didn't help

So, where do I start? I kind of lost my mind at buying tickets for the tour - Köln, Berlin, Bremen, Hannover, Würzburg, Leipzig, Hamburg, Osnabrück, Düsseldorf and Muc. I had a great time on tour:

I saw my friends almost every weekend, danced, jumped, cried, screamed sang along to all the songs as always. Also I became the incredible HULK many nights, carrying my friends Mandy or Alex on my shoulders for "Am Meer". Some nights standing on both feet, some kneeling because I couldn't get up - which made me get funny but also concerned looks by Fabi. He even asked me what the hell I was even trying to do. Talking about Fabi, somehow I managed to always get spat on by him, even more than the past tours. DISGUSTING! Next time we meet, make sure to protect yourself boy, because I'm going to spit back! As always I was very concerned about Jo's will to stay alive because of his crowdsurfing and general energy on stage - knocking over the amplifiers and shit.

The hardest but also loveliest moment of every evening was of course talking to the boys after the show, joking around, hugging them, almost giving them a cold because I was ill in Berlin and also the fucking people working for the location thought it was a great idea to throw us all (including the band) out just 30 minutes after the show had ended, and buying a week worth of socks (45€ for 6 pairs wtf, I must be rich), and saying: "See y'all tomorrow/next week!" to the boys, the merch people, Agnes, Kopfecho (omg Amy is the cutest, most badass, Pfeffi loving woman!) and also my friends.

Also I spend the night after Köln at the local police station because some idiot needed to break into my friend's car to steal their make up and some clothing AND I got ill again.

All in all, this tour was the most intense experience in my life as a fan, emotionally. Wait no, the most intense experience was seeing my face on the big screen of a cinema.

So let's talk about MUC.. weeks before, while still on tour, I was constantly reminded of the upcoming break by my colleagues since they kept asking about my next concert trip and what I'm going to do with the time and money I'm saving when the last concert is over. But holy shit, I was never able to be ready for THE last show. It was all fun, taking a train to Munich again, meeting up with my friends, BUT AS SOON AS THE INTRO STARTED I WAS CRYING

But I'm forgetting about something here. Weeks before I decided that the one and only Agnes deserved as much, if not even more, love than the boys. Yeah, she had to get used to us and we had to get used to her... but she's always looking out for us and the boys - a real Tour-Mum. And so we decided that we would get her a little Oscar statue with "DIE GEFÄHRLICHSTE TOURMANAGERIN DER GALAXIE" engraved. I will never forget how in Osnabrück, Fabi had to STOP the show because some douchbag kept jumping into our backs with full force just for fun. He saw that we were getting hurt, he saw the look on the douchbags face while jumping into us over and over again and boy, Fabi was pissed. As I said, he stopped the song (I think it was "Richtig Scheiße"?) TWICE to tell him to be careful with us, having fun is what we are all here for, yada yada and in the end told him he could stay at the side of the club and if he sees him jumping into "the girls" again he will make sure he's been escorted outside. Fabi earned nothing but love from all of us, we could finally continue the show AND enjoy it. Protective Fabi for president! But for the last 2 songs the guy was invited back in to dance and have fun, but THAT'S WHEN IT WAS AGNES' TIME TO SHINE! She came to the barrier with the most evil look EVER, holy, even I was afraid of her.. and she stared at the douch for the entire 2 songs.

So yeah, back to topic, a few friends and I agreed on the little Ocsar statue and gave it to her before the show. I wasn't there for the cake and shit, but she had a few minutes to came back out to meet me. Literally crying again just thinking about her crying... She's literally the cutest, loveliest woman it the world. I don't know what KP ever did without her. She is exactly what they needed (fuel to the fire, since she described it like that in the movie)

So, the doors opened, the supporting acts had their time, I didn't really know what to think of them.. but yeah, as I said, the fucking intro started and I was a crying mess. The END had started and I wanted it to stop.

My friends and I were standing to the left side of the stage, we danced, we sang, we jumped, we hugged and OF COURSE I had Mandy, my oldest KP friend (12 years / we met at our first concert), on my shoulders for "Am Meer"

Thanks to Maria and Janine for the photos

So, the last songs - "Springt hoch" and "Ich kann auch ohne dich" - came around and I was still not ready for that. We gave everything, even more than ever before for "Springt hoch" and lost everything for "Ich kann auch ohne dich". We cried even more than before, were one big ball of hugs and ended the song with telling each other how much we love each other and how happy we are to know each other.

And then I saw Fabi crying and lost it all again. But holy shit, I was not ready for this hug!

But what can I say except for:

NICHTS IST FÜR IMMER, AUßER IHR UND WIR!

I can't believe I have spend the last 12 years of my life with you. I could write my very own book with just stories about this time.

Thank you Jo and Mäx for this book you started writing back in Dillingen, when your band had no drummer and decided to ask the little brother to do it until you find a real drummer. Thank you Fabi for becoming this real drummer.

Thank you boys.

How did Marvel fuck up IW? That movie was gold and highly entertaining, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time... The ending wasn't pleasant off course, but honestly, it was brilliant cinema!

1. 90% of the movie was ruined by Loki’s death scene in the very beginning. I have talked multiple times about how stupid and full of plot holes that scene was, anyway, not to mention how pointless Loki’s death was in general. I’d link, but it’s 1am and I’m lazy, so you can take my word for it. 

2. Speaking of Loki’s death, though, the Russos have gone back and forth on the reason for Loki’s death - first they say it’s sacrifice for Thor, then they say it’s his punishment for disobedience, then they say it’s the conclusion of his arc, to accept himself as Thor’s brother before he dies a hero, etc. They can’t seem to figure out why Loki really died, except that they didn’t know what to do with him and killing him is convenient. 

3. Thanos’s motivation is stupid as fuck. For one thing, wiping out half of the population isn’t the logical solution to the problem. He could have used the Infinity Gauntlet to create more resources, or go back in time to before Titan died, or done any number of things that didn’t involve murdering half of the universe. He came to that particular solution because he likes murder and death and torment and torture (just look at what he did to Gamora and Nebula, whom he claimed as his children). The narrative ignores this and tries to paint Thanos as this sympathetic villain who “maybe has a point,” which is not only illogical but also kind of gross. Not to mention, the Russos said that the Snap got rid of half of the plants and animals, as well as people, anyway - meaning there is now exactly the same proportion of people to resources and Thanos accomplished absolutely nothing. 

4. The movie is full of plot holes. Just to name a few: in Thor Ragnarok, Dr. Strange says he keeps a “watch list” of potential threats to Earth; in IW, he has no idea who Thanos is. Thanos tells Gamora that, by killing half of her planet, the remaining half of her people are now thriving, but the first GotG told us that Gamora was the last remaining member of her race. Where was the Hulk when Asgard was being slaughtered, and where did Loki disappear to for five whole minutes before he reappeared and died? 

5. The narrative implies that Thanos truly loves Gamora, and that he was right to sacrifice her because it allowed him to get the Soul Stone and continue on his mission. Gamora says, “This isn’t love,” but the fact that Thanos does get the stone after killing her is the narrative saying that yes, this is love, the only way Thanos knows how but love, nonetheless. Which is ... really not okay, but other people have gone into much better meta and analysis on this than I can at the moment. 

6. The entire Wanda and Vision relationship was poorly developed and dragged out far too long. In a movie about all of the superheroes coming together and the culmination of all of the characters at their disposal, they chose to focus a good portion of the plot on a couple that was, I’m sorry, boring. I didn’t care if Vision died because their relationship wasn’t fleshed out or built up at all. We’re just supposed to accept it as true love and feel bad for them. 

7. The ending would have had much more impact if they weren’t so obviously going to bring back all of those characters, anyway. Like, they are literally filming Spiderman 2 right now - of course Peter Parker will be back. Of course Dr. Strange, T’Challa, Bucky, etc, will be back. They made such a big deal about the “stakes being so high” in this movie, but all the stakes led us to was a gratuitously tragic ending that everyone knows will be undone, anyway, so the only deaths that will stick will be Loki’s, Gamora’s, and Vision’s - aka, the only characters not killed by the Snap, and two out of three of those characters were killed by their abusers and somehow that’s okay. 

8. I will grant you, the cinematography was good and the music was nice. Also, there were some funny parts, mostly thanks to the Guardians still being in character because James Gunn was able to have a hand in portraying them. 

But, yeah. Marvel fucked it up. The last ten years of movies could have culminated in the most epic of epic villains, if the Russos hadn’t gotten sidetracked by wanting to replicate Loki’s popularity (and Kilmonger’s, later) by making Thanos sympathetic, if they hadn’t ditched the “courting Death” motivation, if they hadn’t gotten rid of Joss Whedon, if they hadn’t tried to literally replicate Steve’s plotline with Thor (Steve lost everything and that worked out okay, so let’s have Thor lose everything, too!), or if they had hired some writers who knew what the fuck they were doing. Marvel fucked up Infinity War, and this is the hill I’ll die on, I’m not changing my mind. 

#asks #charlotte replies #charlotte bitches about iw #i was SO excited for this movie #you literally have no idea #but the russos+m&m just shit all over it #but that's just like my opinion man #sorry for the grumpy tone of this reply #i am still actually really upset about this #a nonny mouse
