Next week is my dad's birthday and then we'll go on a family trip, after which my brother will only be in Yakutsk for two weeks, so I'll be there in the city too. This means it's my final week at the dacha and finality of everything is really fucking me up. Summer isn't over, but it feels like it is. My vacation isn't over. Life isn't...

You know, my biggest detrimental addiction is YouTube and I've been wanting to try living without it, and now it's time.

My mobile provider cut my internet sharing speed yesterday because I shared too much.

Also, Dymok decided to start living on my laptop.

Like, sure, I could start watching YouTube on my tablet, but maybe I should yield.

House of Leaves is a very challenging read. I've read 50 pages starting with last summer and so far it's endless preamble and multiple levels of meta narrative. I'm tired of reading 'this foreshadows the horrors', where are the horrors??? I know, I know, the first 100 pages of a novel are the space for fucking around. But Zampano needs to get his shit together, his chapters are short, meandering and pointless. Johnny's unrelated notes have more coherency to them.

Something that gets me about Pokemon Pokopia is that you actually find out what led to the setting of Pokopia pretty early on. While exploring the world you find dozens of logs that explain in very clear terms what's going on. But Ditto remains clueless about it no matter how many logs you collect, and cannot offer so much as a theory to Professor Tangrowth and the others.

And then I realized they have no reaction to the logs for the same reason they have no reaction to signs and info board items--

DITTO CAN'T READ.

I love playing as Ditto bc I SUCK at controls, but I'm literally a purple blob, so who cares? also, I'm literally a purple blob which is honestly so gender

It's half past six and I haven't had lunch yet. Lying in bed feeling hungry. You know, maybe I have ADHD or something, hmm

I've seen someone express that Charles I pretends to be innocent in Twenty Years Later. Dumas is very sympathetic to him, he's clearly very taken by how noble he looks in portraits and how tragic his end was.

and it made me think that Nicholas II of Russia is treated very similarly in media from England and the US. same with Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

there's something very sympathetic about another country's monarch killed by revolution.

i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible.

anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.

kat

it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

Fantaghirò (Lamberto Bava, 1991)

#this was my shit when i was 8

Fantaghiro part 2 (of the first story) is FANTASTIC!

Fantaghiro is set to fight Romualdo, the new king of the rival kingdom, so are her sisters, because they all dressed up as knights, but the sisters aren't fighters at all, so Fantaghiro finally realises she was wrong to treat them badly and lets them go.

Romualdo meets Fantaghiro dressed as a knight and realises he's in love with her, but he can't prove she's a woman, in fact, she fights one of his friends and shows herself to be stronger than him. Romualdo then invites her to go hunting near a cave where a dragon lives, that dragon only eats women and he kills men. Romualdo then coaxes Fantaghiro to enter the cave, expecting her to refuse, because women fear the dragon more than anything. Fantaghiro is fucked in the head, so she goes there and kills the dragon through her wits and help of the White Witch.

After that, Romualdo challenges her to a swimming competition, he expects her to refuse, but she doesn't, so it goes like this:

They are hot, wet, confused, and angry. The competition gets derailed and they have to fight.

Romualdo is resigned, he still can't prove she's a woman and he says if he wins (kills her), he won't be able to live without his love. She nearly wins, but spares him in the end and comes back to her kingdom full of shame.

Her father, the king, is relieved to see her alive, and he sends the knight who she's pretending to be, to the tower, to have a mock trial, 'execute' him, and bring Fantaghiro back.

She's not happy about it, she feels shame for failing to win the war.

Romualdo arrives to her kingdom and surrenders, he knows he didn't win and he sees no reason to live without his love. Long story short, they meet.

There's this dialogue after they kiss:

Romualdo: Why are you blushing?

Fantaghiro: I'd never kissed a knight before.

Romualdo: Neither had I.

HAPPY END. Fantaghiro becomes the queen, their kingdoms unite, she forbids people to eat geese because the White Witch disguised herself as one.

I'm very happy my favourite childhood media didn't disappoint.
