Anyone out there feels like they weren't meant to have a body or mind?
Anyone feeling like a soul born into a body and mind that isn't conducive to them??
So there're similarities between the first time Saga and Jesse meet the FBC right, or is it just me??
like, both of them meet Ahti first right
sure the following encounter is different, with Jesse walking into Trench's corpse and Saga getting told to fuck off by Estevez
but then
Both Jesse and Saga make sure the environment is safe by eliminating supernatural enemies so these FBC agents can step out of their shelter
is this a pattern? FBC agents needing help from a supernatural woman to come out-
what's up with that
Remedy, hey Remedy-
Saga Anderson, and Nordic rep in Alan Wake 2
Early on in Saga Anderson’s exploration in Alan Wake 2, she runs into Ilmo Koskela. Fiercely proud of his Finnish heritage, Ilmo gregariously makes note of Saga’s Nordic sounding name and the familiar design of her knitted sweater. Perhaps a fellow Finn?
Alas no, Saga’s mom is Swedish she informs him. Immediately Ilmo’s face falls. I’m not sure if it’s actually just the animated character defaulting to his resting face, but either way the timing is too perfect. Cue uproarious laughter from me. People in the Nordics are on friendly terms of course, but we gotta have the tiniest bit of… scornfor each other. All in good fun of course. It’s traditional.
Now, I’m Danish, not Finnish, but still, I feel right at home in the towns of Bright Falls and Watery in Alan Wake 2. All of the little nods to Nordic culture and mindset feel so wonderfully familiar to me. The melancholia, the irreverent sense of humor, the affection for the Finnish and Swedish quirks of the characters. The game feels all the stronger in tone and narrative for Remedy embracing the Finnish roots of the studio.
Which is exactly why it sucks that I almost immediately saw the charm of those narrative decisions weaponised against Saga.
my thoughts on Saga Anderson and the lack of spotlight on her in fanworks
Hmmm…this has been bothering me since I waded into the fandom after AW2 dropped. WHY DOES 99.9% OF THE FANDOM SLEEP ON SAGA WHILE IT'S HALF HER GAME???
Got back from seeing the movie again and a tiny theme I liked was the solidarity in the younger POC generation vs the older gen.
Margo, Hobie, Pavitr and Miles all had eachother’s back. They fought together, they helped eachother in small ways like Hobie telling Miles to use the palms, and big ways like Miles saving Captain Singh and Margo letting Miles go “home”.
They could’ve stopped him, they could’ve not helped eachother but they did. Because they understood and they all realized what was wrong with the Spider Society. All of them at the end came together to support and help Miles, in the way the rest of the spiders couldn’t.
And when you put that into perspective with Miguel and Jessica, older POC that gave no support. They believe that Miles has to suffer in order to become Spider-Man, that pain will always have to happen.
But the others don’t believe that, they know that best way to be a hero is uplift and help eachother. Often the parents, the older generation compromise their morals and others for the future, for them to grow up safer and yet the future generation always has to reckon with the consequences of those actions without even having a say in the first place.
That’s a damn message, and I love that they used the younger poc generation to show that because this does happen in real life, there is a difference and our parents, our grandparents believe that pain has to happen for our identity to be created.
I love love LOVE learning shit like this
The animators put so much love into every frame of this movie and I love seeing the real influences for every character
Happiness Will Come To You.

reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
TW: mentions of psychosis, OCD, psychotic breakdown
Okay I'm screaming into the void, but also asking for help,
I just found out that I'm on the verge of a psychotic breakdown from a psychiatrist (or atleast that's what my mom told me that the psychiatrist said that), which im not surprised given I've developed False Memory OCD subtype, and other shit over the past year. I'm moving out to the US in less than a week. It's one thing to have a doubt that there is something with you, and another to have it confirmed by someone. Idk what I'm trying to do with this post
Maybe anyone in US or anyone who has suffered with psychosis or psychotic breakdowns, could share your story or how I can find help in US or anything or anything that helped you with dealing with psychosis, I'd appreciate that.
I hope anyone who's suffering with severe mental health issues find peace and happiness in your lives. Much love and power to you all.
I'll do anything just to not feel like myself
Ok I know it's a little bit late but turns out my big Okoye rant just has to be written down or it will keep bothering me. So here we go. Screaming into the void.
The thing is I like Okoye and I think she had nice thing going on in Wakanda Forever. That is up until the point that her plot threads were axed midway and rest of it was given to Nakia of all people? Which sucks for both of them. So in this essay....
OMGGGGG someone finally said it, Okoye was done so dirty in the movie, I genuinely couldn't see her as a Midnight Angel at all and this post really elaborated and then more

Your support is much appreciated! ❤️ Wishing you all a happy & prosperous New Year as well!! 🍀❤️✨
ive been rewatching glass onion over and over again and there are. a lot of things i keep thinking about. one thing i did appreciate -- and i apologize if this isn't my place to comment on it -- but the anger of a Black woman was not only justified and righteous, it was often rewarded by the narrative.
helen and andi both get mad. a lot. they yell, insult, throw around the furniture and break shit. and not only is it completely understandable, even before the Big Reveal, but it's often rewarded by the story. andi finds out that miles counterfeited her note to cement her out of her company, and she's so mad she knocks over her bookcase. but then she finds the napkin. helen blows up after miles' disruptors speech, and then she gets vital info about the others. and when she is furious at miles and the others for gaslighting her so casually, she is not only given full permission by blanc and the story to destroy miles' bougie home, but her rage allows for miles' comeuppance, and gives the others the power to stand up to him.
andi and helen are not treated like monsters for being angry at their situation. they're validated and rewarded.
i love it when movies don’t allow the audience to be omniscient.
like, if a character isn’t in a scene, we usually assume they’re not present. but maybe they were there and we just didn’t see it.
what if the visuals were unreliable?
there is a common flexibility in interpreting the staging of live theater, even famously for shakespearean works. for instance, is this really a private soliloquy for hamlet alone, or is ophelia listening in behind a pillar? does the audience know if ophelia is there or not? the script doesn’t say what a production HAS to do, but the existence of that choice means there’s a HUGE difference in the story the audience gets depending on how it’s staged.
in contrast, movies don’t do this very often, so we as viewers get used to “what we see is what actually happened” when we watch them.
for example, if someone in a mystery movie witnesses a murder but then tells a different story of what actually happened, an audience is likely trust what we were shown first over than what’s said.
we trust the visual over words in movies. out of habit.
it’s so rare for a movie to use this against us. and yet it’s so satisfying to me when a movie only lets us think what it wants us to think until it’s relevant to change the perspective to the truth.
a limited, unreliable perspective audience is so underutilized in visual mediums. when was the last time a movie pulled a live theater move and let you interpret something? when was the last time you were allowed to draw a conclusion that was wrong and that was the point?
yes this is about the glass onion i’m still on about how good a job it did with this exact thing
ohhh my god even burning the envelope isn't Miles's idea you can literally see the cogs in his head attempting to turn when someone says "you didn't burn it or anything??"...
now that glass onion is on netflix i can say one of my favourite parts is madelyn cline's character - it's very obvious that she's meant to be underestimated. she's an influencer, conventionally attractive, seen as the girl in the middle of the love triangle, but then we get a moment between her and helen that shows she's thinking of her career, her brand, maybe she wants to branch out into politics! she's lovely and sweet towards helen and has depth!! moreover, whisky directly contrasts kate hudson's character. whisky works hard for what she has while kate hudson takes everything at face value. i think rian johnson is just so good at using an audience's perceptions against you.
i adore the theme of not "playing the game" that was in knives out with marta reluctantly going along with harlans plan, and then playing it her own way at the end to catch ransom in a trap, and im so happy it continued in glass onion
these shitheads™ are all so into playing this pseudo intellectual game with each other, thinking miles is sooo clever and gleefully solving the mystery box together. but helen? she knows what they are. she doesn't give a shit about miles's game. so she beats the shit out of that box; she's not playing the game, she's coming in and taking no bullshit.
and you can see that she's actually the real disruptor; miles goes on about how people like changes to the things they grow bored of, but once you start crossing the line and going for "the thing nobody wants to break", everyone tells you to stop, but you don't. well, miles seemed very happy to watch helen break every glass statue in his living room, he was encouraging it. he was bored of them. but when she goes for the piano? when she starts crossing the line? suddenly he's protesting, until the final dash for the override button and the mona lisa, "the thing nobody wants to break", is destroyed. his words are completely turned back on him, and she's taken her revenge
