Living Nor Dead

i think about this video a lot

Wtf is going on

Hey y’all film crew member here. For those of you asking, they’re running like that to stay out of the shot.  For us crew we TRY OUR HARDEST TO NOT GET FILMED. IT’S IMPORTANT. It’s like playing the floor is lava but with a side of “you’re fired” if you lose too many times.  We’ll do anythING to not be seen. Duck around corners, dive under tables, jump in the bushes, assume fetal position on the floor, climb trees, get in the robot, hide in the trojan horse, become a vampire, you fuckin name it.  My fav game while watching a movie is “guess where the crew is hiding in this shot” it’s great fun you should try it.  The only problem in this particular shot is there is nowhere to hide except behind the camera which IS MOVING REALLY FAST.  Why they didn’t just leave the room I have no idea. it could be any number of reasons. Time, lack of proper equipment, need to supervise/direct, etc.  The real question is how the hell did Gaga not fucking lose it seeing a herd of film nerds scamper desperately in circles behind the camera

Sure, relationships typically start with a honeymoon phase that then grows into something deeper but a bit more mellow if things work out, but it’s depressing as fuck that this has turned into a really, really common script for straight relationships that says it’s totally normal and inevitable for dudes to just become more and more emotionally checked out of the relationship, and leave it to their girlfriend/wife to perform if she wants to get even a crumb of affection from him. I’m so fucking tired of seeing women constantly being taught that decades of emotional neglect is just our lot in life.

what “getting out of the honeymoon phase” should mean: you aren’t joined at the hip anymore and can spend time apart, but you still greatly enjoy eachother’s company and deliberately make time to be together. you’re not just a unit, you’re a matched set (like, you’re susan and bob rather than susanandbob). you start to see eachother’s flaws and don’t put eachother on a pedestal but instead love eachother as human beings, flaws and all.

what it should NOT mean: you barely talk anymore. you feel like two completely different people, tied together by a frayed thread. you’re annoyed by eachother’s flaws and don’t like to be around eachother

similarly: “relationships are hard, they take a lot of work” means that cooperation on a daily basis in both the practical and emotional realms takes conscious effort. you can’t coast on those honeymoon feelings forever, and you aren’t psychic, so you have to pay attention and communicate so you can honor each other’s wants and needs.

it should not mean that you’re fighting every two days or walking on eggshells to avoid the anger of an unreasonable partner or breaking your back trying to get the slightest sign of affection or respect from someone who’s checked out and doesn’t care about you.

This is so, so important. Dont keep investing in a relationship thats not giving back. You deserve to be heard, you deserve at the very least communication.

All of this.

BLACK PANTHER IS RETURNING TO THEATERS FOR FREE FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. GOD IS A BLACK WOMAN AND SHE IS BLESSING ME.

Okay so it’s only for a week (Feb. 1st to Feb. 7th, 2019) and at AMC theaters but you bet your ass I’m about to go watch it for the eighth time.

I say no to free

Why?

I would like us to remember that free opportunities to see movies of attend concerts/events, etc are for accessibility reasons. Just because we can afford a movie ticket doesn’t mean the next person or a family can. That’s why things like the #BlackPantherChallenge happen. And people saying “It’s on Netflix, just watch it there!!” not everyone has Netflix or the means to stream media?? These are small luxuries but they’re still luxuries. Let’s be cognizant of that.

Disney is rereleasing for free specifically for these reasons + also donating a bunch of money to further the education of Black creatives as well because #RepresentationMatters.

OMFG!!!!! So Cute!

Children, this is dirt.

my friend gave me some technicolor scratchpaper

well!

People dont take this seriously enough. It informs how you approach every relationship, every interaction, and the way you haven’t been able to deal with it? It’s been internalized. You WANT to do differently in relationships but you fall back into the same “safe” (read: traumatized) patterns of behavior.

Rinse and repeat.

This is one reason why I’m so pro therapy. A lot of times you cannot see this shit until someone else helps you see it.
