“In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you”
it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

Watched Everything Everywhere All at Once and thought of Jing Yuan and Yanqing.
Your child(apprentice) is both too similar to you and nothing like you at all. You share a stubbornness and a refusal to follow your parents(mentors) that drives you crazy, yet they have a different sort of anger than you do. You will do anything to cling to the past and present while they want to charge into the future.
Meanwhile on Yanqing’s end, like Joy, there is the fact you just want your parent(mentor) to understand. You want to find the pieces of yourself in your parent(mentor) so they can see why. So they know why you think the way you do. You want to make them see your point of view so they will stop holding you back. You are angry, so angry, and the fact they don’t feel your anger only makes it hurt more. You want your parent(mentor) to both hold you tight and let you go, to give you guidance and let you figure things out for yourself. You want destruction and yet you also want them to heal you.
There is also the same ‘you never had the trauma I did so why are you so angry’ vibe. They refuse to listen to their child(apprentice) because what do they know? They think that the youth don’t know the same sort of suffering and anger they faced. That they don’t know the troubles of the world the same way, and they are both right and wrong. As much as their child(apprentice) will never suffer the same way they did that child(apprentice) has their own struggles and reasons to be angry and the accidental invalidation and pressure that the parent(mentor) passes on…
Sorry about the ramble but yeah
every time my bf says “for the time being” i respond with “for the time bean” and then we say “all hail the time bean” and carry on the conversation like nothing happened
also when her husband’s like “no matter what, in some universe i would’ve loved to just do laundry and taxes with you.” MURDERED ME…literally this is love, wanting to be with the person you love and want to be loved by no matter the circumstances?? and the fact that his compassion wasn’t a flaw but appreciated?? 😭😭
watched eeaao with my mom who left my dad for being too sensitive… an experience
also worst decision ever her takeaway was “oh thank god i’m not like that! i love you!” like… evelyn didn’t not love joy…

everything everywhere all at once murdered me with the in the mood for love references in the universe where she’s a martial artist, like strangled me and left me to choke on my own tears
my favorite films i watched for the first time in 2022 ♥️
EEAAO was such a good movie. that rock scene made me have an existential crisis 💀
HISTORY.
my takeaway from the wicked movie is that michelle yeoh is collecting spongebob: the musical cast members like pokémon

AFTER (😱🤯) 3 YEARS ⁉️
🤔💭 hmmm, 6 - 2 = 4 inches lost in 3 years, which means, if I was locked up for a 3 year stretch, and a strict prison regime of 24/7 solitary confinement in a tiny cell, without being allowed out to the exercise yard, (😱) I'd come out with a .... a ..... a ....

BOTH of you know what your limitations are ......
BOTH of you know what your experienced in .....
BOTH of you know what your tongue's duty is ..

Escape From Everything Everywhere One by One —a film-inspired escape game
A series of escape rooms based on Everything Everywhere All At Once:
(Warning: Spoilerverse ahead!)
The first escape room: The first escape room is set in a laundromat, just like in the movie. The walls are covered in graffiti, and there are clothes and other laundry strewn about the room.
The keys: Players must find items that will allow them to travel to different universes. For example, they might need to find a pair of shiny buttons, a woman's and a man's, to travel to the universe where Evelyn is a movie star reuniting with her old love, or they might need to find a rock with googly eyes among many rocks to travel to the abiotic universe.
The puzzles: The puzzles in the escape room are all based on different universes that Evelyn Wang verse-jumps to in the movie. They block clues to the locations of the keys. For example, one puzzle might involve using the knowledge of a bagel chef to piece together the perfect bagel model, which acts as a knob of an oven cabinet where a key or clue to a key location can be found. Another puzzle would be translating Cantonese words on a signboard, by chaining up a jumble of bilingual dictionaries, only one of which contains English and none of which translates Cantonese to English, in the universe where Evelyn is a sign spinner.
The clues: Like in all escape game recommendations, some of the clues are obvious, while others are more obscure. For example, one clue might be a piece of paper with horrifying tax figures that would wake up even the deadest work zombie, while another clue might be a song lyric that only makes sense if you've seen the movie.
The physical challenges: Some escape rooms entail physical challenges. For example, in the universe where Evelyn is a cook contending with a rival who has a raccoon master, players can "knock out" an army of agile staff members dressed in raccoon costumes by hitting their fake tummies with paintballs. In the universe where Evelyn is an opera star, players are to wear Chinese opera costumes and gather in front of a camera within a time limit. In the hot dog universe—you've guessed it—players must work through everything using hot dog fingers. That, and playing piano keys correctly with their toes. The hot dog fingers could be made slippery, so that it's difficult to control them.
The ending: If players are able to solve all of the puzzles and overcome all of the challenges, they will be able to exit the multiverse through a giant everything bagel. Or maybe, they will beg the game host to let them stay for an eternity.
Obvious choices for background music: Laundry sounds, kung fu themes, Chinese opera, Le Festin, and the soundtracks of the film itself, In The Mood For Love, The Matrix, The Mask and maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The escape room would be a great way to test film lovers' creativity and problem-solving skills while exploring the different universes that Evelyn Wang verse-jumps to in the movie.
Kindly remember to send this human editor and human generative filler the bagel donations.

this is my takeaway from Everything Everywhere All At Once
When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"
When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“
