Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

i haven't seen this talked about at all, so i wanted to recommend it to folks. Fréwaka is a fabulous, deftly made folk horror movie. it has an amazing cast, a well rendered queer main character, and a very believable, eerie vision of the Sidhe.

(content warning: suicide + religious abuse.)

movie poster showing two bleeding eyes in a rectangle in the top third, fine text listing awards and review quotes in black and dark blood red over off-white. two root or branch-like rivulets of red run down from the top third of the poster, aligned with the blood from the eyes.

I do respect that ZZ is VERY different from '79 and Zeta, but I was getting fed up of Fa getting treated poorly by the narrative and was generally just not feeling it.

Thanks, I hope my ramblings are interesting to read! 👍

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale

The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

more behind the scenes stuff... played dress-up with them so I could decide what loose era I wanted to base the setting on lol. Genevieve's hair was always going to be loose all the time to make her seem kinda unhinged compared to the other women haha

“The Summer Hikaru Died” no question!

“Let’s Go Karaoke!” and “Leviathan” are tied for second place
