Today's aesthetic: people who are like "this anime could have been good if it weren't for one specific detail that totally ruins it", and then that one specific detail is, like, the thematic foundation of the show's core premise.
jesus christ. surviving is not enough. you have to eat the strawberries and paint and cook an absurdly delicious dinner. thanks zombie show
if i ever come off a little weird and you wonder if theres something wrong with me there is theres actually so many things wrong with me but im doing such a good job being normal. so you should actually be proud of me you should smile and be like wow youre doing such a good job and then be on your merry way
i think this is precisely why 'fire walk with me is so powerful':
"Your Laura has dissapeared. It's just me now" we see a her whisper tearfully to James Hurley. She knows. She knows she's fizzling out, not like a match blowing off, but like a supernova, Laura is screaming, blowing up into the void with incandescent fury, but she's too far from us to see. Like a dying star, the light that reaches us is no longer tied to it's source, it's vanished, we're only left with the remains
laura palmer is such an insane character it’s like her absence is more important than her presence and she doesn’t exist it’s only this reflection of her that other people tell and the person that they want her to be the person she’s incapable of being like there is no story without her but there is no story with her either
I've been taken to the extremes of my physical strengt and emotional endurance, and at the end of my capacities I have found the abyss.
Honestly, one of the things that fuck me up the most about The Brothers Karamazov, is not only that Dostoyevski names Fyodor Karamazov —arguably the most vile character in the novel— after himself; but that he names this character's pure son, mr. little ray of sunshine Alyosha, the same as the son Dostoyevski lost at three years old, a loss that pained him all his life, like????? what did you meant by this sir???? does such goodness only belongs to the realm of death?? of fantasy?? Are we always to taint good works through our polluting influence? what does this mean!!!!
From W. J. Leatherbarrow's "Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Brother's Karamazov"
this is just the beginning of this awesome list. these movies are all essential viewing imo so it's pretty cool that you can google "[x film] archive.org" and you can just watch it.
