Hello! welcome to this everything-blog

this blog is admittedly a bit of a mess, what with me dabbling in multiple fandoms across different kinds of media and using this as both a personal as well as an art blog (I don't foresee separating the two things anytime soon btw this is my wee sandbox and you're all invited to play). though i do try to appropriately tag most of everything

as for the most important stuff:

if you're looking for my more recent art (2024+) the tag is my art

if instead you want to see all of my art spanning back - oh god - more than a decade the tag is fanart

nsfw other social media profile incoming? maybe? hopefully? we shall see

in the meantime have a nice stay!

Tentative

had me a lil rewatch of kill bill (in theaters no less!) as one does and this time around i realized that a) to my knowledge its the one movie to star both uma thurman and lucy liu which in turn allows them to speak to each other in bad japanese b) the image of sophie fatale writhing in the pool of blood spraying out of her freshly severed arm had a lasting effect on me. so has daryl hannah as elle driver in general c) the pai mei sequence works much better for me in the theater than it usually does at home but then again i found that to be true of physical comedy in general d) among the deadly vipers theres a clear homoerotic bond between the two men bill and budd. as for the ladies theres no such clear-cut dynamics but theres two that are just as intense the most obvious of which is the (one-sided) beatrix vs elle parallel/rivalry. the second one is easier to miss well its not because its like 2/3 of vol.1 but the nature of which is not uttered in any dialogue its just to be found in the blocking and editing of the movie and its of course the sorta clash sorta mutual understanding and respect between beatrix and her foil/inversion o-ren ishii. of not was the brief shot of o-ren ishii kneeling in front of her opponent which sure its a sign of respect but if you keep track of the way the characters are framed one above the other at any given time depending on who has the upper hand (like i zealously did this time) youll notice when she does that she starts off equal to beatrix then slides below her and then returns to her same height which makes it an unprecedented display of reverence amongst the vipers

also was really disappointed that no one but me laughed at michael parks whistful and heavily-accented delivery of "the pussy died"

loved how obsession made that obnoxious low-brightness greyscale look associated with digital (aka the "i can't see what the hell is going on" look) work to its advantage. it also made me quite jumpy which is also great
