I Heard You People Liked Your Hypnoshades Ichiya So Here’s How I Think It’d Go

made a little something something for a pal

woahh slow down guys!! wtf

had to draw a lil sumn for nsr's birthday

pom poko was one of my fav ghibli movies as a kid and i still stand by it being bizzare but good, it gets harrowing at times but is just a really interesting movie because its trying to be a documentary and a fantasy adventure and slice of life all at once??? its, yeah

Pom Poko fascinates me, I've watched it about 3 times now. I didn't discover it until I was an adult (Howl's Moving Castle was Baby Bones' Ghibli movie) and at first I thought it was kinda weak but...

I've never seen another movie that was able to capture the feeling of group in-fighting and procrastination tanking a movement quite as well as Pom Poko. At every point, it feels like there's a drastic but obvious solution to their problem, which is only attempted too late.

Centrists and "level-headed" members of the Tanuki clan deescalate the passion of the more radical members, and yet, prevent them from taking acceptable (but still losing) pathways out of the conflict. It's a REALLY easy to miss detail that the same Tanuki leader who refuses the Fox's job offer, dooming his comrades to the worst case scenario, is the very same one who is selling undeveloped real estate at the end of the movie.

Because the Tanukis can't organize, can't agree to fixing the problem before it gets too bad, because Bunta keeps getting injured or neutralized, every sacrifice is in vain. They have to find some crummy 'silver lining' in their home being reduced to a golf course, half of their population working with chronic fatigue in a society not built for them, and the other half literally homeless.

But that's the Tanuki as we're shown all movie long; unable to get serious, finding simple joys and pleasures as paradise is pulled like a rug from below their feet, literally pleading to the humans in the audience to fix their problems for them.

It really stuck with me. I wanna get a nice copy on DVD lmao

Ive been doing literally nothing all 4 months but froth about my fantrolls in my head so i wanna just put some here... including pierez n her beta design selves. also her friend berating her again

they do eventually squash the beef

The way black people have invented literally every modern music genre and still have no recognition or respect given outside of hip hop and rap is really all the evidence you need to understand how deep anti blackness sits in our cultural history, not even mentioning the way pioneering black artists had their lives and careers absolutely pillaged to enrich white producers, artists, and labels

squeezing my pussy and concentrating all the microplastics in my body to print a perfect tiny figurine of a fruit bat

this is so real. i was thinking that the reason pav specifically is talked about like that is because indian culture isnt really that prevalent in american media, hobie wouldve had more of a chance since hes british but, hes black and british. with features that dont really yield to beauty standards here, idk im just so disappointed in how this movie was taken online its got me fucked up

I was wondering why miles isn’t being subject to the same level of fandom mischaracterisation as pavitr and hobie before realising that he’s at least american and that the experience of an indian and black british kid respectively are so alien and unempathic to US-centric fandoms that they have to be moulded into an unrecognisable blob of westernised yaoi-fied tropes before people can even begin engaging with them on a personal level
