BUBBLE | バブル (2022), dir Tetsurō Araki
fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho
another thing about the ofmd kiss scene!! when stede asks “what makes ed happy?” he is genuinely asking. so many different characters or even just a different actor would have played that line flirtatiously, but rhys darby doesn’t. every time i watch the scene i expect him to lean in a little or do something that indicates he’s sort of joking, but he doesn’t, because he’s not. we find out later that at this point he’s not aware of the fact that he’s in love, and consequently probably doesn’t know that ed is too. so he’s not fishing for anything or hoping for the answer that ed ultimately gives, he just genuinely wants to know what makes ed happy, and the implication there is that he wants to know how HE can make ed happy. and the answer is that he already is, and it catches him so off guard that it makes the scene 100 times more romantic that it would have if he was TRYING to be romantic
*barely contained lust* he is so fucking pathetic.
Orym, to Laudna: "You're the happiest one in this bunch."
Laudna: "Of course, the worst thing that could happen to me has already happened."
Laudna Breaks Orym’s Heart
Orym: “You seem to be the happiest person in this bunch.”
Laudna: “Of course! The worst thing that has happened to me has already happened.”
Orym: “What the fuck is up with that?”
Laudna: “My parents thought it was a great honor to be invited to the palace to meet the Briarwoods. They told us we would be made to serve a grander purpose. I remember being tossed clothes to wear. Told to change and served a wonderful dinner. It was very delightful, some nice surf and turf. And then… that was it. They dragged me away, separated me from my parents, was brutally beaten. It gets a little fuzzy after that. But I woke up being hung from a tree. It was the Sun Tree, actually!”
Orym: “Laudna, I’m so sorry.”
Laudna: “It was a long time ago.”
Orym: “Respectfully, so fucking what.”
Laudna: “I’ve had a great many things happen to me since then. It almost feels like it wasn’t me. It happened to somebody else.”
Orym: “It… sorry, it’s cold out, but I, I’m feeling kinda hot.”
Laudna: “Don’t you pay no mind to me, or my past. Focus your brain forward. It’s no use to be sad about what can’t be changed.”
Orym: “It’s a lot.”
Laudna: “You see this? You see my ears?” She pulls off the gold cuffs on her ears. “They cut my ears to make them pointy. To better match whatever warning signal that I was.”
Orym: “You seem okay, but…”
Orym stands and hugs her.
Orym: “You shouldn’t have had to go through that. Nobody should have to face anything like that. I am sorry. And I’m impressed with you.”
Laudna: “Thank you. That’s very kind. It’s strange, I don’t think anyone’s apologized for that. It’s not really your place, but it means a lot!”
Orym: “Of course. Words don’t really handle that.”
꒰ my studies in vienna ꒱
“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” (Oscar Wilde)
The war crimes are fictional but my annoyance is real.

I’m glad humans evolved to Boop the Snoot for Good Luck.
glowing as though holy
every time it rains i think of that raymond carver poem. poetry is like prayer to me methinks. or an incantation
this one btw
Listen. Do it for the aesthetic. If you want to fill an entire 20 dollar sketchbook with anatomy drawings fucling do it. If you wanna get lost in the woods and come stumbling home with a bag of dried mushrooms and bones you go goblin dude. You aren't alive to go to work and hurt!! You're alive because bumblebees bump into little flowers and dandelions only open up in the sun! You're alive because cats purr when you pet them and coffee keeps you up all night!! Do everything for the aesthetic!!
arabic poetry is so beautifully yet painfully romantic, i mean “they asked “do you love her to death?” i said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life" and “because my love for you is higher than words, i've decided to fall silent" and "it is not enough to say love in Arabic, you must say 'be the thing that buries me'" could have got jane austen crying and shaking
