What a lovely hiding place that you have made

After rewatching Monster for like the 7th time I saw this scene and was like shit that looks familiar.

Yoshiki went over the white line and onto the street. He is in hell. Meanwhile, ‘Hikaru’ is right on the white line. He is right on the edge.

If only some people can have it, that's not happiness. That's just nonsense. Happiness is something anyone can have.

I hate how accurately the movie depicts society's view of people not in romantic relationships is.

Ryland Grace was not a sad man waiting for his demise. He was happy. He loved teaching, his students were SO important to him. He had a good life.

But he didn't fit societal norms and that somehow made his life less valuable? The way Stratt saying "oh you're not married, you don't have any immediate family or even a dog" was treated as part of an explanation as to why he should be more willing to go on a SUICIDE MISSION?! As if that somehow made his life less important? As if it made him some sort of expandable material?

It's genuinely so sad how realistic it is. It's also part of the reason why I wholeheartedly believe in aroace Grace. It's just such a common experience within the community that even if it's unintentional it feels like finally getting some sort of representation.

(I genuinely hope this post is at least somewhat coherent it's basically just a rant written at two am that I'm too tired to look through <33)

this is such a tiny detail but. i'm so in love with how unafraid the phm movie was of making grace cry. like. idk, it's 2026, it's not unheard of for men to cry in films but. often it's this big built-up moment where wow he has truly finally been broken down and destroyed and.

in phm, grace just. he cries. he cries because he's alone and sad and scared and he's saying goodbye to two people who must have been his friends but he can't remember. he cries because he's stressed. he cries because his best friend is sending him home and he didn't think he'd ever get to go back. he cries because his best friend is asleep and he doesn't know if he'll ever wake up. he cries because he's found a way to save not only one but two worlds. he cries because he has to give up going home to save his best friend. he cries because he did save him.

idk.

ryland grace cries, frequently, and he is brave. he is brave and a hero and the story's beloved protagonist and he cries about damn near everything.

it makes me very happy to see.
