Just makes me think like whether having period pains skews our perception of pain overall

Period pain havers, do you all ever get asked like “are you having irregular pain”

And you’re like … well… not irregular but I do have regular pain every month so what do I consider that hmmm

suggest playing, even. Also Devotion - it got taken down for censorship so I'm not sure if it's playable anymore (I think it's back up?) but it so hauntingly beautiful. Takes place during 1980's Taiwan and without giving too much away it's a critique on religious cults.

oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.

The whole film felt like it was on a long symphony, with every shot being rhythmically on point

Which is similar to how I feel about Dunkirk where a film is just so beautifully symphonic

One Battle After Another’s soundtrack is sooooo damn good arghhhh

The way it seamlessly blended in with the film … never distracted, only enhanced the emotions

I think my feeling stems from how everything we do has become so hyper commodified, and I know it’s not the artist’s intention to engage in it 💀 they’re just making a cute vid!

But I know people who don’t understand how arduous and messy the art process is will be like “art should be perfect”

One of my VERY SMALL hot art take is that I get a little taken aback when artist post progression videos that doesn’t show the actual way the thing was drawn, rather video edited to make the art process look more magical/aesthetically pleasing
