An aspect of Hilda the series that I feel isn’t talked about enough is the colonizer’s guilt and how it affects the main character.
What made me write this was watching the third episode of the new season, but honestly, it’s something we see throughout the whole series. Starting out with the elves in the northern counties, and moving on to trolls and now giants. Every season that came out gave us a chance to see Hilda deal with the feelings that arise from living in a society she knows is built on the occupation of another people’s native land and the oppression of those inhabitants.
She knows it’s not her fault, she knows she’s not the colonizer, but she’s well aware that she’s in the privileged side of her society. Seeing her grapple with the fact that her very existence in these spaces is only possible because someone else is getting the short end of the stick, to me at least, makes her that much more interesting of a character.
Because it’s not a matter of fixing what she’s done, but the privilege is still there and not even well hidden when she sees the day to day life of the people whose land has been occupied by humans/trolbergians. So whenever we see her rush to aid them, her borderline desperation to fix what’s been broken, it’s even more captivating because it’s not just the usual “I love helping people and having adventures” gist, there’s always this undertone of guilt for something she hasn’t personally done but still knows has to be held accountable for.
Hilda knows the type of oppression that people like her get away with. And she wants no part in it.

It’s the way that Ellie’s hand just looks so tiny in this scene that it physically pained me. It’s so easy to forget just how young she is.

cannot express enough how much this scene means to me, especially as a trans person myself. it seems so small, but this scene is groundbreaking in so many ways.
for anyone who hasn't watched alice in borderland: the woman in the last picture is canonically a trans woman. she left home prior to transitioning because of her father's disapproval. this is the first time she's seen her mother since leaving home, & the first time her mother has seen her post-transition.
her mother's first reaction to seeing her as her fully realized self is to call her beautiful. this scene, itself, is so small. but man. is it beautiful.

With the release of 1989 TV, I’m going full 2014 and commencing my (mostly) annual Carmilla rewatch.

I know fuck all about music. I can't read sheet music, I don't know how music works and I pretty much failed all my music classes in school. Sometimes I mix up composers and don't even try ask me about the structure of a symphony.
But when I was a kid I watched Barbie in Swan Lake and fell in love with the music. My mum bought me a huge vinyl recording of Tchaikovsky afterwards. She took me to see The Magic Flute and Swan Lake once. When my English teacher told me to watch the Last Night of the Proms for homework I did and I try to watch it every year. Even when I didn't understand a single thing in music class I appreciated the music we listened to and I'd get interested in the composers, especially Beethoven, and try to watch biopics and read Wikipedia pages. I recently bought a biography on Händel after doing a translation workshop with an author. Occasionally I try to watch classical concerts or opera on the telly. I went to a baroque concert with a friend in the pouring rain last year and the same friend and I watched the new year's concert at the state opera house. I found a conductor I really like and I get excited when I hear about her. I have a long playlist of classical music I listen to and I definitely have favourites. My mum and I listen to Classic FM in the car a lot, even at the drive through of a fast food chain.
Music, even classical music, is for everyone. It shouldn't be a fancy thing only for rich people to enjoy or something you need to have studied to appreciate.

i choose to live in denial about the fact that there are so many desires for 'Babies Ever After' in Polin immediately following the conclusion of season 3 because like. . .this woman is nineteen!!! at the start of it all she should be at the club having a panic attack! and at the end, she should be getting railed up and down the European coast by her hot husband who has miraculously good pull-out game!
we are not the same!!!
