I am currently in the midst of watching "12 angry men" for the very first time, absolutely zero spoilers, and I highly, highly reccomend this film to anyone looking in to creative writing!

I'm about halfway through and this is masterful writing!

I think it's USA-exclusive, but if you can access Tubi Tv in your country, you can watch it 100% legally for free below!

I reccomend not looking anything up about it and dive straight in when you have an hour and a half of dedicated free time to watching it :)

Tubi doesn't seem to have subtitles unfortunately, but I think there are browser extensions you can get to ad subtitles to videos?

Hello, I saw your blog today and for some reason you seem friendly. And I guess you like to talk! So there are a few things I want to say just for the sake of conversation. First of all, if you like watching cartoons, I would like to recommend svtfoe (Star vs. the forces of evil). In my opinion, seasons 3 and 4 are more than just a children's cartoon. Finally, if you want to watch it, I look forward to seeing who your favorite character is :)💖

:O

Glad you stopped by!

I do like watching cartoons. I might check out svtfoe at a bit of a later point, thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely tell you my favorite character once I get to watching it >:3

Things you should watch in the Autumn: A somewhat un-seasonal list by Alice

Majo No Tabitabi - This is a show about a witch who travels to various places and tries to avoid getting involved in the stories she encounters there. Don't watch this if sexual assault (mentioned) or gore (depicted) would be a problem for you, since episode 9 gets dark.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - Do not watch the remake. Watch the original film from 1920. It's on youtube, and only a bit over an hour long. This is a film from the waning days of Weimar expressionism (and which was roundly denounced by many Weimar expressionists as inauthentic), with beautiful painted sets and a drama that, despite its simple structure, remains compelling over a century later.

Haibane Renmei - This show is about death, coping, and moving on. It came out the year I was born, and uses a muted colour palette to great effect in establishing its tone. It's a melancholy show about girls with wings living in an isolated rural community with strange rituals. It's beautiful, and it *feels* like autumn in a way nothing else on this list does, even though it isn't really an "autumn" show in the way something like Over the Garden Wall is. It leaves you with questions.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - This one is kind of a religious text for some trans women. It's a story of love and tragedy between magical girls, and the movie Rebellion continues the story in a logical and yet controversial-at-the-time way. Another film has been announced recently, so this is a good time to get into Madoka, or rewatch it if you haven't seen it in a while.

So Ra No Wo To - Also sometimes written as Sora No Woto, and I'm told one or both is wrong. This is, like Haibane Renmei, in the genre of melancholy shows about girls living in rural communities, but with a bit less darkness and a bit more in the way of comedy, though it still knows when to be serious. Honestly, it's not as good as Haibane Renmei, so if you only watch one of the two, watch that. It was unfairly written off as a K-On clone when it first came out, however, and deserves more love than it gets. Noel Kannagi is autistic. It leaves you with questions, though not as many as Haibane Renmei does.

Just watched the 2019 PBS live production of Shakespeare in the Park at Delacorte Theater. The one with the all-Black cast. I'm not much of a Shakespeare fan and it takes a lot for me to get invested in his plays, but this was end-to-end brilliant. Like @also-a-low-quality-child said, Shakespeare and AAVE rhythms are a match made in heaven. The dialogue was so beautifully expressive and sparkling, the pacing excellent. It had its own tempo. I've never appreciated iambic pentameter properly before.

I fully expected to fall asleep before the end as I usually do with late night movies, but I stayed up watching to the last minute, laughing and whooping. It's incredible how much depth they gave each character in what was supposed to be a comedy. Also truly refreshing to see a fat woman in a main role playing a heroine who was adored and coveted. Hero could so easily have been just a virginal fainting flower but the actress made the character emote like a gale force wind.

Me: It's sweet that Benedick turned from fuckboy into the only real one

@also-a-low-quality-child : Truly

@undivine-intervention : There’s a noble difference between a fuckboy and a manslut

Me: 👆🏽 Shakespeare 👆🏽

Can't recommend it enough. Here's the download link for anyone who wants it. It's at the very top, with a subtitle file linked in the OP's comment. (The file is almost 3GB though.)

Turns out after finishing Word of Honor that I am still craving xianxia/wuxia to an unhealthy degree. Because nothing else on my giant watchlist is currently catching my interest.

So, if you have drama recommendations of that genre to watch, feel free to drop them to me !

The only ones I've watched so far are The Untamed and Word of Honor so pretty much anything you'd recommend that is at least vaguely xianxia or wuxia could catch my attention.
