my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.
all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.
Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you
count me outs
Adopting that immediately.

This kid is so fucking good holy shit. I love how into it the audience is, too
Having fun with Link Click season 3
Maybe you think this needs a spoiler tag, but I'm sorry if you got into a series about time travel tragedies with a codependent same-sex friendship and DIDN'T expect the twist that all series like that have, that's on you.
Qifrey is Such A Character because I'm like twenty chapters in to witch hat atelier and pretty much the only things he's done has been have whimsical little cottagecore picnics, be nice to children, and have category 9 domestic events with the whole adult man who lives in his attic. And somehow he does all of this whilst projecting an aura of horrible, tangible sadness. Mans is frolicking in meadows and giving the general impression of a haunted victorian orphan. He's cooking sweet potatoes and I fully expected him to tell the reader he was waterboarded as a child. He's entrancing.
When the twist is caring more
The risk of having a big character twist is that it might burn an emotionally invested audience. "I was secretly evil the whole time" or "I had ulterior motives the whole time" can feel like a gut punch in a good way. But sometimes it can make past events feel pointless or empty, or leave the audience feeling like 'well, this relationship/character I feel connected to was never real/doesn't matter'.
WHA has deep-set character twists and long-con lies, but the reveal of the truth, so far, has never been "this never mattered" or "this person never cared". It's the opposite. It's "PSYCH! This person actually cared EVEN MORE! They have been caring LONGER and HARDER than you ever knew! Everything MATTERS SO MUCH, sucker!"
Queer fantasy about art, education, accessibility, social mobility, kyriarchy, and how we fail to protect children? Magic as an allegory for art? The perception of art as natural talent instead of labour and struggle by non-artists? The possibility of saving or destroying the world hinging on design? Morally grey protagonists? Heavy messaging on how what is legal isn't always right and what is right isn't always legal? The poverty to criminality pipeline? Resentment brewing hatred? Sexual abuse being treated as a crime instead of a joke? Disability and neurodiversity being represented with accuracy and sensitivity? Some of the most beautiful art in the entire global comics industry?
Go read it. Go read it now.

Every couple of volumes the Witch Hat Atelier manga does something so disturbing and twisted and it really messes me up (in the most complimentary way possible). It's like, "here's a cozy slice of life moment where regular girls are just trying to figure out how to grow up; here's a fun, heart-pounding adventure where the girls do their best and loving adults swoop in to save them right when things are looking bad; and here's a fundamentally unsettling and disturbing moral paradox that makes you question the very ethical foundations both of this fictional world as well as your own, by forcing you to stare unblinking at a situation in which there are no easy answers, no clear moral lines, no heroes or villains, only the desperate struggle for survival and human dignity. There are no answers except for hope and curiosity. By the way, drawing is fun 🥰" and I personally think it's very cool and brave for that
finally started witch hat atelier and qifrey has a sorta "terminally ill victorian child who's caught in a timeloop" kinda aura
what do they have in common?
Do you ever wonder they spend hours wondering what’s wrong with their spell, and turns out it’s just they forgot a small line of something silly
Anyways this is me projecting my cs struggles
I'm too tired and annoyed to formulate a proper post about this year's Eurovision, do here's the bullet list.
The good:
Denmark understanding the assignment and sending in a twink with a banger song.
Albania delivering one of the best ballads in the contest history.
Serbia doing some really great goth metal.
Croatia giving us another witch circle.
The United Kingdom giving us the most British performance ever.
Moldova having the most fun song of the night.
Finland delivering a completely live performance, instruments included.
Lithuania sending art.
Romania doing the most.
Austria having an actually really fun song (I will die on this hill!)
JJ's new song being better than 70% of the competition.
Hearing Lordi do covers of old Eurovision songs.
The stage-ready sound being from "Die Zauberflöte".
The stage-ready design with the spiral of light around the stage.
Israel not winning.
The Bad:
The show looking like a TV production.
The hosts.
The interval acts (especially the Austria vs. Australia one)
That stupid tone deaf Professor Eurovision segment.
Denmark performing first in the final, denying them any fair chance of winning.
The camera breaking during Czechia's performance and them being denied the chance to perform again.
Montenegro and Switzerland not qualifying.
The jury and public scores being all over the place.
Lithuania not scoring with the jury or the public.
0 points for the UK from the public.
Israel getting a decent jury score (for what???)
Israel buying votes (again!)
Israel almost winning.
Bulgaria winning both the jury and public vote (genuinely how?)
Bulgaria winning (worst winner since 2011, imo)
Edit: Martin Green saying that Russia could return to Eurovision even if the war is still going on.
"the world you grew up in is gone" but not in a reactionary "there are too many brown people" way more like i woke up one day and suddenly everyone is illiterate and believes jewish people are literal demonic pedophiles, raw dairy and steak cure cancer, and AI chatbots are their friends. and i want the old world back
