Resident Evil Village spoilers ahead!!

I just realised that, at the beginning of the game, "Mia" prepares a Ciorba de legume, a Romanian dish, and Ethan even comments on her already adopting local traditions. But given the fact that, at that moment, "Mia" is in fact Miranda, it makes way more sense for her to cook it since she was born in Eastern Europe. It's suuuuch a cool foreshadowing, I can't believe it took me so long to notice it.

your strange vaguely bisexual friend you try to ignore: hey have you read the secret history yet

after chipping away at this one for a few months i'm weirdly anxious to post it, but here’s the longest i've spent on a piece of fanart! put in a lot of detail so there’s some close-ups with a speed paint under the cut. i'll be trying to figure out prints for it as well :)

the strength to protect what matters

i know it's not necessarily the main point of the og tweet (AND I AGREE 😭 i miss my dead bestie capcom, i miss him a lot) but the framing of the first pic for ethan here is So good it spontaneously made me want to redraw it

"to you i am obscene but to myself i simply am"

the new frankenstein movie peeled my skin back, looked at all my gory, horrible inadequacies and said "i understand you" and now i need to go curl up and die. everyone go watch it right now.

and when i say that detail about haymitch losing his unborn twin sisters foreshadows him being a mentor and losing two kids each year in the hunger games

"babel's writing is clunky and didactic. it was overexplaining colonization and didn't trust the readers to understand. it was telling, not showing."

i don't understand these criticisms bc all of the dialogue, especially those when the characters explain the process of colonization in their countries, is actually accurate to how academics talk. AND it is inherent to these characters to talk about their circumstances that way because 1.) they're in fucking oxford, 2.) they are translation students, thus their study is directly related to their countries and their relation to the british empire, and 3.) colonization informs every aspect of their being, especially the reason that they're in oxford in the first place. of course, these highly intellectual students of color are going to talk and think that way.

one of the topics my peers and i constantly talk about (during walks, breakfasts, dinners, class breaks, literally anytime and anywhere etc.) is how our area of study applies in real life and how we can meaningfully resist against dominant powers that oppress us. babel is written that way because it's how academics think, talk, write, and process.

do these people just like dark academia as an aesthetic without actually liking the academia part?

it's also mostly white people that lead the discussion surrounding babel which astounds me. most of their criticisms highlight the writing style without mentioning the discussions on colonization and resistance that r.f. kuang presented. are these people just uncomfortable with the blatant statements of how colonization benefits every aspect of their white existence?
