There's Something So Deeply Profound About Suzume's Ideas About How People Love The Land, And How In

dune really explores every possible way someone can die without actually dying. paul's childhood self dies the night his father does. his atreides heritage dies when he seeks revenge. paul himself dies when he drinks the water of life. jessica the wife dies the night leto does. jessica the mother dies when she drinks the water of life. the girl alia could have become dies in the womb. stilgar dies when he becomes a follower. the fremen die when they leave their home to fight paul's war for him. the narrative treats every one of these deaths as a tragedy, as a palpable loss; the ghosts of who these characters were or could have been remain to haunt the narrative long afterwards.

SEBASTIAN STAN WINS GOLDEN GLOBE FOR BEST MALE ACTOR IN MUSICAL OR COMEDY FOR A DIFFERENT MAN!!!!!!!

listen if the little mermaid 2023 did anything right it was ariel and eric... they were already a good couple in the original but fleshing him out and making him drawn to the ocean in a parallel to ariel being drawn to land is so good. and kind of increasing that human vs merfolk tension to make it this romeo & juliet love story. like sorry they kind of slayed there. eric sees ariel turn back into a mermaid in front of him and all he does is hold her tighter. they're both gigantic nerds. he's a foot taller than her. it's incredible.

Who's your favorite?

Happy birthday 108th to Bucky Barnes himself!

One of the noblest beings of all. One of the few souls who have sacrificed all of themselves for the greater good without asking for anything in return...

A good man with a good heart that they could never take away from him no matter how hard they tried...

A hero in his own right...

That's who Bucky Barnes is...

the French did not put beheaded queens, a sexy queer throuple, and an androgynous parkouring phantom of the opera on international television for you to call it dull

I’d die for her 💖💖💖
