Random thoughts after my second viewing of episode 1 :
The laugh and Stede’s hand on Ed’s tummy and the sheer joy of their bodies colliding and falling in the sand before Ed’s doing the Flynn Ryder smolder.
It’s the same beach and rock formations in Stede’s dream and Ed’s coma (but then again it’s also the same beach near the republic of pirates so… too bad for symbolism I guess)
Stede is ready to greet customers at Jeff’s Inn by the sea.
“You’ve been Ricked” … as in Rickrolled, you mean ?
I still think that the change in Izzy’s attitude could have been done better. Don’t get me wrong, Con is acting his ass off and what he’s doing is believable in the moment but we didn’t witness the shift between the joy of “BLACKBEARD IS HIMSELF AGAIN !” (i love my life) and “FUCKING END” (fuck my life) so it almost feel OOC.
Frenchie’s “sounds like a plan” killed me. The box has opened and fucking spilled, uh my love ?
Fuck you, good night
I love soup.
Is it normal to giggle like a schoolgirl every time Ewan McGregor is on screen in Moulin Rouge? I swear my eyes look exactly like this emoji 😍😍😍 like who allowed him to look like that
Watched it again
My husband found it average and confusing. Based on the lines and attitude of Kylo Ren he did not sense the love at first, he kept saying “but he wants to kill her”, and did not get why Rey healed him, I had to remind him of the Last Jedi, because my hubby is not a Star Wars fan, that they had a connection, that Ben was gentle with her before (sigh) that Rey had hope (sigh) .....
So basically they made Kylo / Ben so out of character, with such “evilesque” lines, taunting Rey so much, that in the end his affection was not made clear to the GA (aka my husband lol) ....
One last thing because this is all so hard, but I know we said it’s painful that Rey does not mourn, or cry and we try to understand why and to reason it, because there has to be a reason why someone wouldn’t be in agony at the loss of their soulmate..... I mean her heart broke and she was in tears when she refused his hand in TLJ, and in TROS, she frowns, and she looks sad, but it’s so fleeting, and then it’s huggy time and smiles ... I am trying to find my peace with this movie, but the ending just destroys all my efforts.
My husband really liked Adam Driver’s acting but found D Ridley a bit stiff and not showing enough emotion. She can do it when she wants though.
Ben’s death, the lack of mourning, naming herself rey skywalker after the Palpatine reveal, all of this is just WAY too much to ask me to accept.
to finish on a happy note:
Ben solo and Han solo are both the best thing about this movie, along with Reylo of course. Reylo is canon and Ben is redeemed :)
*rewatching Age of Resistance* Episode 2
Somehow the first time I watched this show I sensed that the fizzgig scene with Deet was a throwback to the movie, not sure how, but I did.
Honestly, one of my favorite things about this show is that the Emperor has Podlings who literally make his theme music, I think that’s hilarious.
HI I LOVE THAT RIAN AND GURJIN HUG EACH OTHER REPEATEDLY DURING THIS SHOW
I’m DEAD, Hup and Deet are the cutest friends EVER and they are no less pure and precious the second time watching this.
I love Brea just being like, “I WILL do this whether you help me or not.” you go my sassy, strong willed child.
Rian and Gurjin’s immediate response to the Chamberlain coming being to hide under a table does not help me imagine these Gelfling as adults instead of children. (They’re just. So tiny. I can’t help it.)
The Chamberlain telling Rian they’re friends while Gurjin tells him not to listen feels like a throwback to the Chamberlain saying the exact same thing to Jen while Kira warns Jen not to listen. Except the latter scene hasn’t happened yet.
I’m noticing so much more this time around, it’s great.
Steven Universe: The Movie, Round 2!
I was rereading a scene I wrote that a thought was truly awful when I first wrote it. It turns out it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Don’t get me wrong, it needs work, but not as much as I originally thought. Sometimes you just need to look at your work with different eyes I guess. In a couple more drafts, it might finally be right where I want it.
Don’t Take Your Mom to Love, Simon!
Man I thought it was a good idea but it definitely wasn’t! I’m still closeted and I guess was kind of hoping for her to ask me about it when we got out but that’s not how things went. I took her to love Simon and the whole time I was just a tense ball of stress. I was trying not to swallow too hard because I felt like if I was gulping I would look suspicious. I then decided to try not to swallow spit but then it would just get worse and everybody knows when you think about swallowing you can’t do it without like gulping loudly! Anytime a gay scene came on I’d feel like I couldn’t make any movements because then I would also look suspicious as well. So I’d sit rigid as hell and trying to control my stalking while also trying to see my moms reactions without outright staring st her. I couldn’t enjoy any of the scenes because I just felt like if I enjoyed the scenes she might get suspicious and then after the movie we didn’t talk about it almost at all and it was just kind of a mess of a night. I felt like I couldn’t even smile or laugh or get emotional because that would show that I was getting emotional and I don’t know I was overthinking every one of my or my moms movements.
