you asked: my secret contract is i feel like i lack personality if i don’t create. art is a physical representation of me having feelings and thoughts, and without the grounding feeling of painting to produce a tangible vessel of meaning, i feel boring.
Encanto was such a let down to me. I was so excited to see a mainstream movie dealing with generational trauma. There were moments when it really showed in a child accessible way how messed up and abusive family could be. Then one piece of backstory and a hug later - none of that mattered? The whole family is cool now?
Well, cat thing is absolutely acceptable cause it's real in our world) At least according to myths and stuff. There are memes about cats guarding us from otherdimenshional threats, after all.
7:17 I just realized that Flynn CLIMBS to Rapunzel while Gothel makes Rapunzel LIFT her up to her. Good physical representation of the difference between their relationships with her.
As someone who has been traumatized and has recovered from ny trauma, I can vouch that I am still creative. My creativity didn’t leave just because my pain did, I simply have a different set of emotions and thoughts behind my creativity.
if i could change one thing about this video i would get rid of "five outta ten for encanto, watch miraculous" ... it really took the gravity in pathos or whatever out of your actual final lines
I have rewatched this video about 500 times because the clarity and sophistication of the argument is a major source of comfort for my autistic trauma-wracked brain and I have only today noticed the blink-and-you'll-miss-it mouthfeel joke. Now I feel less bad about obsessively rewatching it!
I love your videos beacause when you talk about psychology and put into words the indiscernible thoughts and feelings that itch in the back of my mind I feel the way I imagine spiders would feel if they were shown and could comprehend a needle lace doily.
I hate Jordan Peterson sooo much because he does sound smart and has some good insights, which makes the rest of his shit way more dangerous. However, his "Christianity" association is the absolute worst, it is SO CLEAR that he doesn't take the Bible seriously as a text, seems to be unaware of most Biblical analysis, and doesn't care about Jesus. Jesus transgressed the boundaries of gender, purity, and conventional ethics. He loved radically, stood with the oppressed, and spoke in parables. Jordan's ideas are bad enough in a secular sense, his trying to tie it to Christ is an absolute travesty and to my mind lays bare both the shallowness of his spiritual understanding and his cynical willingness to be logically inconsistent for fame and influence. I would love to be church friends with you CJ the X. Come hang with me and our lesbian priests anytime.
It feels like they made Anna boyish so the romantic interactions were either more apparent (because of cultivated short hand to romance in straight couple media) or so that the poster looked like a straight couple.
i’d say it’s appropriate but not as important, because some people are sincerely not creatives. the work they do that they get the most joy and gratification from may not involve creativity if the case is that: you have ideas and drive to create that you are not acting on, then these sorts of questions would be more appropriate
I feel seen due to the clarification for aromantics, but I always felt like Lelouch was kind of a douche, sort of like Light Yagami in the way that they both convince themselves that they are these untouchable geniuses, while more often than not, they simply seem to profit from how inept some of their adversaries were. But I will simply substitute Cowboy Bebop for RDR2 and feel saturated.
I don't do drugs, but I feel like this is what happens when you try to do your mandatory "Spirited Away" film report while high on cocain, right after failing your psychology exam on Freud, with your mind already occupied with your upcoming socialist party meet-up. Anyways, I'm absolutely here for it.
I think I missed the genesis of this particular art moment, but I'm still quite pleased to discover you spewing so many salient syllables with such emphatically punctuated speed and momentum. I look forward to further examining your body of work, cheers!
I’ve been realizing that my former religion was a fairly intense high control group. I’m safe now but now I need to process my past present and future all at once again. I will make a new story now thank you cj
Im about to watch and I theorise "a bad person ; or a person with harmful views will create some art that is harmful or something that can't be redeemable" I can't wait to find out how far I miss the mark
