"Tell me, my sun, was it ever really about time?" 

My study of Sofia and Katya’s last meeting before Sofia left Katya. Sofia knew she and Katya were never “right person, wrong time”. At no point in their lives could they have crossed paths and been together, not when Katya was back home, not when she was building her empire from the ground up, and clearly not when Katya reached for her as a powerplay in her marriage to Goncharov. It was right person, the wrong life.

Perhaps, in another, they could have finally made it out together. In this one, Sofia knew Katya was going to die, so she left. The last thing she could do for her sun, is to live.

A lot of people have been pointing out the obvious homoeroticism in both the sofya and gonchrey smoking scenes, and yes there’s undoubtedly a lot of gay undertones in both. But I also feel like the smoking itself is symbolic. It was in the late 60s that doctors and scientists began realizing the real dangers of smoking, and the government began to put out anti-smoking PSAs. The early 70s were when smoking was juuust starting to turn from a cool (and almost universal) activity to more of a harmful, self-destructive practice. And both of those attitudes come into play in these smoking scenes.

Sofia sits on Katya’s lap and blows smoke into her face, symbolizing the destructive nature of their relationship: how it toes the line between love and hate, how it harms both of them both because of the relationship itself and its repercussions on their lives, how they’re both hooked on each other regardless — but also how, in the end, one of them is always reaching towards the other, never both getting the same satisfaction. At the beginning of the movie, Katya is drawing Sofia in as a kind of power play, more out of a desire for autonomy and an escape from her marriage with Goncharov (and yes, they do have a bond, but it’s almost completely platonic imo). But by the end, Katya is desperate for Sofia’s love while Sofia is just trying to save herself from the situation she’s been tangled up in. That’s why, after the boat scene, we see Sofia lighting a cigarette as she leaves, the smoke drifting towards Katya, who breathes it in as she watches her go.

The scene with Goncharov and Andrey in the church tower is more clear-cut, but the symbolism is still important. Goncharov lights his cigarette first, and then, when Andrey produces one of his own, Goncharov lights Andrey’s with the tip of his cigarette. This represents how Goncharov was the one who first began his self-destructive path (and who first initiated the homoerotic tension between them), but this soon passed on to Andrey — culminating, of course, in his broken-hearted betrayal of Goncharov. The destruction sparked by Goncharov’s actions, simultaneously self-centered and self-destructive, ultimately lingers with Andrey, long after they end up killing Goncharov at the end of the movie. This is why, at the end of the scene, we see a close-up of their discarded cigarettes: Goncharov stamps out his own with his shoe, while Andrey’s is left smoldering, never quite going out.

update:

so, this guy, Edmond Bilbasso, posted a story with trans am and some girls started to ask him where and when he took the pic. He answered one of them and sent a short video in the car and then a selfie with gee. then he started saying something like “get ready” and “it’s sooner than you think it is”. then he deleted the story with a car and now made his insta account private and blocked everyone who followed him yesterday.

THIS IS WHAT I SAW ON TWITTER (the girl who posted is russian tho)

1) -is mcr fandom being crazy or the theories are true?

-insanity with a bit of truth

2)-is the picture of Mikey’s bottle(?) a hint?

-who knows

3)-give us a hint, or at least something good to cheer Italian fans up

-all in good time, but don’t lose hope because everything is possible.

Danger Days Props: Where Are They Now?

What set Danger Days aside from other post-apocalyptic stories was the vivid character designs, brightly colored props, and tiny details that made the universe crackle with creative energy. But where are the props from the music videos now? While many of them have disappeared from the public eye, others have turned up in some unexpected places.

Adekan Cosplay (Perfume bottle)

Did this for AFA2017. Everything was a mad rush and I had to improvise for a couple details. Haven’t had a shoot yet for it but I’m planning for it :D Everytime I do an Adekan cosplay, I always scream into the void “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?!” But I feel very accomplished after it all~ (Adekan isn’t huge in my area so I’m always questioning to cosplay them to conventions because no one recognises the series boohoo) I’ve done another costume and I’ll post it sometime later~

Adekan Cosplay (Hanfu Ver)

Did this for AFA2018. (I honestly want to cry because I was mistaken as a Modao cosplay throughout and was lumped together with a couple other MDZS cosplayers in a photo :’D) This cosplay took me quite some time because I was with it on and off. I wanted it to be as true to the illustration as possible and was trying to better my sewing skills so that my future works will be cleaner. I used to just cover up the parts I can’t do with lace and I just thought its lazy and I swapped out the lace and manually pleat and sew the curved parts (it’s honestly a bitch but working on self discipline and skills). Made sure that every part is worthy and not rushed. I would say it is one of my proudest work as I did not rush or compromise any detail :D Took on sewing/cosplay as a hobby and I wish to continue to improve~ I’m running a tad bit dry on what to make next so do let me know what you’ll like to see :)
