#dandy thoughts

[frosteamilk]

I can’t stop thinking about how s2 showed us how din and grogu clearly have separation anxiety, both having experienced incalculable traumatic loss, only to have them violently ripped apart right before the finale. THEN they had barely any time to actually reunite before separating again out of a sense of duty? idk where I’m going with this, probably that I felt emotionally what went down in the finale but couldn’t put it into words till now. I’m still so heartbroken

as much as I would like din to keep failing upwards with his role as mand’alor (I do think he has the potential to be a good one, given how much he’s grown in leadership throughout the show), it should be after the man gets some grief counseling. I want someone to sweep him into their arms and care for him because he’s been a protector for so long in the show. yet by the end, he has nothing left and yet is still suddenly expected to take on the mantle as warrior king when he deserves to hibernate in peace

without naming them, post a gif from ten of your favorite films, then tag ten people to do the same (tagged by @oceans-bluem) (i’ve been assigned the most movieful. help)

tagging anyone else who wants to do it!! also @the-stargirl042 (are we on tagging terms o7) and @optanksteel and @duckthedoof (if you want no pressure) i think you’re the only people i know who haven’t already been tagged in the chain

back on my bs. fight club as a piece of absurdist media goes insanely hard precisely because narrator and tyler embody existentialism and nihilism quite well

i have literally judt finished my ap lit absurdism unit in which we studied rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead and i can see The Parallels

narrator embodies existentialism like guildenstern. tyler is nihilism like rosencrantz. together they make up a duo of characters whose plurality is under question (an inherently very interesting idea to explore!!) AND they spend their time together questioning everything and doing stupid shit (an inherently funny idea to explore)

both pieces of media are about how life is arbitrary. there’s no objective truth to society—to credit, for one, but also to the morals of very royal drama in r&g

this is all to say that part of me really wants to go through and do a very very deep dive character analysis of fight club because the characterization through the visual medium of film was actually really good!! the lighting was amazing and stood out to me and i liked how they changed how they treated filming narrator vs tyler to really compare and contrast them against each other

another thing is that fight club is much more accessible as absurdist literature than r&g is because it has a very clear plot and lots of action! this is very exciting because it incorporates a lot of absurdism INTO its plot but you still get the benefits of having a plot and the fun stuff of absurdism at the same time!!!

i hope you all can forgive me for going on a huge rant about fight club at two in the morning. this is the end of my film bro era i promise if this ends up as a hfx i apologize in advance to my friends

also as another note. i really hate violence so the fact that i enjoyed this movie this much says a lot ;-; maybe enjoyed is a strong word but there were definitely very fun elements to it that make it enjoyable to analyze (the absurdism)

i just watched fight club today and i NEED to see a bmc au with

- harry?? edward norton guy as jeremy

- tyler as the squip

- bob as michael

- not as fitting but marla could just stay as christine tbh especially from the opening bits of the movie

and do i even need to explain the rich set a fire parallels

Apropos of that reblog, I had a dream last night wherein I was trying to buy nice little candles in red and green cups

(Lololololol symbolism the botanical thing I am named after is famously these colours)

And

Everyone

Kept

Fucking around

And wasting my time

And getting in my way

And acting like me wanting to get this errand done was SOOOOOO SELFISH OMG HUFF SNIT WHINE

To my dream-credit I didn't wreck anyone---I just kept on keeping on and when people got selfish I'd just go "okay" and proceed with what I needed to do.

I need to do that more IRL.

Doing what I need to do isn't selfishzzzz waaahhhhh

No one has dibs on my time automatically. No one has more "right" to my life and energy than me---no matter how tragic a suffering martyr they think they are, or how easy they think my life comparatively is.

(Right now it's not especially easy for me because I feel like I might implode from cramps but hey. XDDDD)

Dream-me had the right idea.

It's not that I am selfish; it's just that people aren't used to me being blunt about what I need. XD
