Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

The idea of Mario and Peach having any kind of relationship beyond the occasional kiss on the nose and "mama mia" is like viscerally incomprehensible to me

Not like in a prude way I just can't conceive of Mario experiencing... urges. He's a character outside the scope of that. I'm not saying he's asexual either cause positioning him on the allo/ace spectrum implies that it's a dimension of his character that at least exists, that he has at some point noticed it. I think he just jumps.

Luigi probably fucks though.

#op interrogate yourself about why you think this right fucking now

So unlike Mario, who continues to be essentially a void with no internality, I actually act with thoughts and intent and already did do that when writing this post.

Mario is a mascot of one of the most sanitized corporate brands in existence. He differs from real, full-fledged ace people in that his sexlessness is not queer, not transgressive in any sense of the word, just a void left by his position as a player character. He has no queer identity because he has no identity beyond the fact that it's-a-him, Mario.

[antigyro]

Ok but why is Luigi different

[tpwrtrmnky]

displays internality by being capable of fear. to fear is to have something to lose. and what does he stand to lose? fucking.

All the Cens are at some team bonding dinner hosted by hollanov and Troy and Shane are in the kitchen at the same time for some reason and it's the first time they've ever really been alone in the same room together. Shane's been on the Cens for a while now and everyone's finally clicking and eventually Troy brings up that "Yeah man I dunno it's gonna sound crazy but for a while there I kind of got the feeling that you didn't like me ha ha" and Shane kind of looks at him because "Well, that's because I don't like you" and Troy's like "Ah." OH TO BE A FLY ON THAT WALL

Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 2026 — Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC Sinners (2025) Directed by Ryan Coogler Aspect Ratio: 2.76 : 1 · 1.90 : 1 · 1.78 : 1 (IMAX Blu-ray) · 1.43 : 1

Q: How long did it take to shoot the Juke music sequence? We shot the interior sequences in one day. For that music interior day, we brought everyone together beforehand for a rehearsal: the choreographer, the actors, the dancers, and the music team. That way, we had a solid plan going in. Our night exterior crane pullback was shot on a different night, and the burning roof plate was captured on our final day of photography. So if you break it down that way, the whole sequence came together over three separate days. — Autumn Durald Arkapaw for Motion Picture Association, March 2026
