I was talking aloud and joking around with my coworker at work and she told me “I like whatever’s wrong with you.” And I LAUGHED SO HARD, I WQS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO SAY ‘SO MUCH, BABE IF YOU ONLY KNEW’ BAHAHAHAA
Why did I do it on the wrist why did I do it on the wrist why did I do it on the wrist why did I do it on the wrist why did I do it on the wrist it’s so visible everyone will see and know and Judge Me why did I do it on the wrist why did I do it on the wrist
I am feeling like I’m depressed and burnt out, but life has been better lately. Like the past week I haven’t been able to find the motivation to do much at work, I’ve been tired (partly as I’m getting over a cold), and the past 2 days I’ve been depressed fairly badly. If I got sick pay, I would stay at home in bed rather than going to work. My husband and I were talking and he raised his voice the smallest bit as he putting emphasis on words and I immediately cried. My daughter dropped a plate - a plastic plate, it didn’t break - but I wasn’t expecting the noise and I immediately cried. I hate this. I feel useless and embarrassed and like I just can’t do anything. I just wanna stay home and rot. The urge to sh is strong and I dunno if I can fight it this time. The new meds don’t help, I feel things more again but then depression is a bithc.
Just got back from Iron Lung and I felt a need to make a post saying how stunning it was. I expected it to be good, but i truely think it was great. The cinematography alone was insane! I was worried I wouldnt be able to get over the "its markiplier" feeling, but Mark is such a good actor I just got sucked in. I was stressed the entire film start to finish, props to everyone involved
First off I want to say that I'm so proud of Mark, of Amy, of the whole crew, but especially Mark because holy fuck was that amazing. I was so immersed and caught up in the world and I knew I was going to be because he's an amazing storyteller but holy fuck he knocked it out of the park.
My inner media studies freak was having a grand ol' time with everything. No spoilers (those are under the cut) but the whole build and release of tension as the story unfolds??? Masterful. I was worried (a lil bit) about how he'd flesh out the lore because obv the characters in the movie don't need the lore dumps from the computer the way the player does in the game but he knocked it out of the park. There were so many little touches that made it feel so human and real and grounded even in an ocean of blood. I loved the way he took the plot of the game (or lack thereof) and made it a full movie.
ALSO the effects? In. Sane. Some made me a lil nauseous, I will admit, but oh my god were they incredible. There's one moment (or a series of moments) in particular where I literally had the 'oh no my mortal eyes are not meant to witness this' (which was the point) but they were done SO WELL
All in all? 10/10. So glad I saw it in theaters, especially after hearing Mark talk about how much work he and the team put in to making it ready for theatrical release.
SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT I REPEAT SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT PROCEED WITH CAUTION YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED REACHING CRUISING DEPTH IN 2 MINUTES
okay first off simon's little notes? on the map? adorable. i love how HUMAN simon is through the whole thing, asking names, giving the engine a little pat-pat when it turns back on, UGH i love him protect him get him the fuck OUT of there
the rivalry/hostility between the coi and eden was also really well done. i wasn't sure how much mark was gonna use/lean into that but i LOVED having simon be from eden and there for the filament station disaster--him finding the note from the previous convict? calling him 'brother' when he heard the recording of the note you find in the game???? the pendant he wore on his arm and how it was the thing keeping him TETHERED for better or for worse??????? oh my god it was so fucking good. the way that filament station haunts the narrative, the questions/reveals we get about simon's life, his own ghosts and regrets, the questions about life and death...
the shots. oh my fucking god the shots. those shots in the beginning where the porthole is almost like a halo for simon??? the part where he's begging for the voices over the radio to be real and he moves so his shoulder blocks the indicator light so we can't see if it's on or not??? the dutch angle when the first drop of blood hits his hand to immediately signify something's wrong??? the shot of ava looking through the blood with her damaged eye and it perfectly parallels the massive eye looming out of the blood later in the movie???? the CRACK in the porthole looking like a tree and the pendant from eden cracking in the same way??? again i knew they were gonna be on it but holy FUCK were they on it.
and simon was smart. thank god simon was smart. he drew the map when he didn't have it--which i didn't even realize the map wasn't the complete one you see in game until he started drawing the rest of it!!! he used the binder to hold the lever forwards so he could keep moving. he used the camera as a source of light. he spat on the indicator to make it light up. at no point was i like NO YOU IDIOT and that's what makes horror SCARY.
i also loved how the movie paralleled the game in interesting ways!!! simon goes down once, gets pulled back up, goes down again to get more info, mirroring how there was a massive lore update to the game that included the computer on the ship and all the logs and entries about the worldbuilding. the part where the tether snapped and he got dropped into the weird cave was at the farthest node where normally you get the jumpscare and it's game over. the wibbly wobbly node being the blood portal to the blood dimension where the blood god stares into simon's soul and they recognize each other because we're all just blood--sorry.
and then the science!!! yeah every time you use the camera it's raditation--and GOD that picture in the space ship is terrifying--and so simon's slowly being irradiated over the course of the movie so who knows what's really happening. the hallucinations, the voices, the contaminated human blood. the black box log from the sm8 was HAUNTING. and the blood taking on such a life of its own with rather...disarming consequences, yes that ending sequence will haunt me too.
the whole debate between what's worth life and what isn't. simon so determined to live for so so long and you as a viewer go back and forth with him the whole time and he just wants to live and then the ENDING where he straps the life jacket to the black box and it's bigger than me and THIS POOR MAN. mark's an incredible actor and goddamn does this movie showcase it.
this movie is so goddamn good. it's good as a video game adaptation, it's good as an idie horror film, it's good as a markiplier story. it's truly so so so good and my entire hat off to mark for working so hard to make it a reality.
I’ve been wanting a second child for I think almost 2 years now. Every time I ask my husband about if he’s ready to start, it’s always no and that he needs more time and another 3 months at least added to the count. But in between our talking about it, I don’t stop. I think about it every day. Whenever I see a pregnant lady (which is lil so many women I know right now) or someone with their newborn I lately find myself fighting back tears because I want it so bad. I’ve been thinking about it for these whole 2 years or so and I want it so freaking bad.
Logged into Pinterest this morning and immediately noticed they changed the font. Does anyone else with Autism have stuff like this happen, or just me?
I'm going to tell my phone - verbally - that I want to buy something and see if I get targeted ads for that item. I don't know what it's gonna be yet, but I am certain that my phone listens to me and I want to prove it. I'll let ya know how it goes...
I can’t stop going back to thinking about cutving but I have to be an adult and job?? Like call people and discuss their stuff with them? Cross things off list? Like I don’t even want to do the first thing, I just can’t stop thinking about it. I wanna lay under a cozy blanket in shorts and play animal crossing while listening to the rain, not worry about taxes and overdue payments bro. Totes redicc.
