I know most of the fandom is enthralled by how the relationship between Andrey and Goncharov develops (and I am too! it's a beautiful film, with a compelling power dynamic!), but I really think we need to talk more about Ice Pick Joe.

and more specifically, we've gotta talk about his ice pick, and how he uses it.

it's implied that he's killed a lot of people with that ice pick, but only one of those deaths is shown in the film. it's a hard scene to watch, and some people might want to skip over it, but I think the brutality is part of the point. there's a reason that it's played out with such excruciating detail.

see, ice picks are used as weapons all the time in movies, usually with a stab to the throat or ear, leading to a quick but bloody death. but in Goncharov, the scene is played out slowly, with Joe tying Amarro to a chair before almost carefully putting the pick through his eye socket.

sound familiar to anyone? it should. for a lot of reasons.

Amarro Fiamberti was the name of the first psychiatrist to ever perform a transorbital lobotomy. it was only due to his research that Walter Freeman was able to come up with his own lobotomy technique: one involving an ice pick.

Walter Freeman died in 1972, just months before Goncharov went into production.

and then there's the fact that Joe's ice pick is stolen (where did you steal it from, Joe? from whose operating table?) and the implications that he has his own struggles with mental health (the mention of his sister's murder, the humor he uses as a coping mechanism, the camera angles that give a sense of unreality to any scenes that are from his perspective).

I don't think any of that is an accident or a coincidence.

in my opinion, Ice Pick Joe's story is a tale of revenge - not against someone who wronged him, but against a medical procedure that wronged thousands of people.

and murderer though he may be, he's still my favorite character.

#goncharov #unreality #ice pick joe #fuck it I'm on board #let's do this #lobotomy #violence tw #mental illness #yeah so this was going to be about ice pick joe's relationship with gender #but then it went off the rails #so #enjoy? #I guess? #I was also going to add a thing about him having killed 36 people with the ice pick #amarro being the 37th #because 1937 was the year amarro fiamberti performed the first transorbital lobotomy #but I thought that made this post too long

OKAY HERE I AM WITH STEDDIE/EUROVISION BRAINROT

Somehow Corroded Coffin is asked to represent Australia and they are like "European gay extravaganza for a whole week? Sign me the fuck up". And Eddie is in love at first sight with Stefano, the Italian representative for their year, but he doesn't know how to approach him since he only speaks Italian.

Cue to two weeks of rehearsal where Eddie sends him flowers/other gifts to his changing room with poorly-google-translated Italian messages and downloads Duolingo in hopes he turns out to be a linguistic prodigy.

It's only during the Carpet that he realizes, by listening to Stefano talk with the press, that not only he speaks perfect English, but he also has double Italian/American citizenship and his actual name is Steve.

"So Steve, do you have any Eurovision crushes?" is the last question.

"Oh, I have my eyes on Australia, I'll leave it up to you to guess which one of them is it" he winks at the camera and goes away.

More brainrot here

#I'm sorry but the brainrot is real #i love eurovision #i love steddie #it had to happen #also I can see Stobin partecipating as a duo #everyone would think they're the boring romantic duo #and then they shock the audience with some over the top and weird performance about ice cream/sailors #I can see it all #steddie #steddie prompt #steve and eddie #steve harrington #eddie munson

HE COULDN’T THINK OF ANY FACTS.

Hyperfixation and passion got married and are taking care of all of the interests! Elias’ brain is just absolutely flooded with dopamine right now, it’s the BEST.

“A strong sense of pleasure slightly tempered by conscience sounds pretty fun.” Trapp is always 100% correct. My god this man is so quick and talented. More Trapp on D20 2kforever.

Conscience understanding the place self-loathing can come from and shrinking it back into more helpful “you fucked up but you’re going to fix it” guilt, accountability. Goddamn seriously self-loathing evolving from guilt Brennan you’re a goddamn genius.

Impulse and hyper vigilance have gotten divorced and remarried 17 times at least already, you can’t convince me otherwise.

Way to go, Elias. I knew you could do it, buddy.

#mentopolis #dimension 20 #his passion for ice skating returned #he’s discovering new kinks #he’s a ~dashing hero~ #he’s nurturing long lost interests #his sense of self loathing is the guilt you need to keep you accountable #he’s paying more attention to what really matters #and he’s letting his curiosity figure things out rather than lackeys for ambition #I imagine ambition has been released but is now being heavily monitored #and greed is probably not actually dead but certainly laying low for now #HOW WAS THIS ENTIRE SEASON ABSOLUTELY PERFECT #WHAT DARK RITUAL HATH BEEN PERFORMED #actually wait the man is a whistle blower #hyper vigilance being in an on again off again relationship with impulse makes PERFECT SENSE #EVERYTHING WAS ALREADY PERFECT HOW DID IT GET MORE PERFECT #this season might count as a form of therapy

I finally sat down and watched To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar last night, and the whole movie was a gift, but seeing Robin Williams in a brief uncredited role was the opposite of a jumpscare. It was like getting five more minutes with a friend you thought you’d never see again. What a wonderful little moment in a wonderful, iconic piece of queer cinema.

#to wong foo thanks for everything julie newmar #I can’t believe I’d never seen it before now. i KNOW people wanted me to back in my college GSA #the performances are so charming and so committed. and this was the 90s. like. what a lovely surprise #I didn’t expect Snipes to be so fucking funny and I didn’t expect Swayze to be so all-in #and Channing! just a warm hug of a time overall. Williams was just the icing on a delicious cake.

okay GENUINELY what does "We call everything on the ice 'love'" mean??

I am not certain what Yuuri means... maybe that all of the collaboration, competition, and sharing of ideas that takes place in skating is all a form of showing love? Enough to make me shake and cry and fall over, but i'd still love to hear if people have other interpretations

#i think it is so interesting how Victor and Yuuri just. feel it so deep when the other expresses their emotions via skate #Putting together a performance and perfecting it is like one really fucking long act of service #+ artistic expression of admiration and empathy #I dont really get their sense of competition; you want to improve what the other does because you think what they create is so beautiful #you want to explore that beauty yourself? like as a testament...but also because you love it so much you just HAVE to give your ALL? #i never did sports and i also hate competition so it's hard for me to understand and idk if i'm on the right track at all. #yuri on ice #viktor nikiforov #victor nikiforov #yuuri katsuki #katsuki yuuri #yoi meta #yoi thoughts #my words #yoi

So my yuri on ice obsession came back like it always does this time of year and

Imagine an AU where all those lawyers are figure skaters instead of lawyers.

And competitive skating holds the same kind of weight and corruption that law does in the ace attorney world. Imagine Phoenix becoming a figure skater to help out Edgeworth, who was adopted into the Von Karma family. Who are rumored to pay off judges, blackmail competitors, basically any underhanded tactic to achieve perfect scores.

Miles Edgeworth "Demon of the Ice". Who has never not placed gold at any meet.

Phoenix grew up skating with him as a kid. He doesn't see that joy in his eyes anymore, and wants to help him.

There's a lot I can still do with this. All the crazy stuff in ace attorney still would be around. There would still be a TON of murder and extortion and other shenanigans.

Maya plays the Pink Princess in Steel Samurai on Ice. Klavier Gavin is a skating sensation who writes all his own music. Troupe Gramarye on Ice

Would you read an ace attorney figure skating au because I'm THIS close to writing it

Thanks for looking at my crazy ramblings
