a melancholic comedy about a pilot cursed to be pig
of all of miyazaki's anti-war movies, this one is pretty striking, especially given the outward political turmoil going on concurrently at the time of the film's development. it started simply as a lighthearted comedy and became something with such a somber undercurrent
also obviously the flying scenes are great

mae borowski returns to her hometown of possum springs, and with her return comes some long-time-coming reunions and unsolved mysteries
this game broke me
played it the week it came out back in 2017, and in hit me in that way some media does where it comes at a point in your life where it feels all too specific to your circumstances and it opens wounds you didn't even know went that deep. this shit felt like the therapy session you needed but reeeeally didn't want to go to. healing and hurtful, all at once
also just happens to be extremely funny. it's a very specific kind of humor, where even in the rare moments it doesn't land, it still lands because the circumstances around it make it all the funnier. something as simple as a too-long pause in the dialogue will have me in stitches
deserves all the love in the world, and it will forever have my whole heart. WITCHDAGGAH

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter
weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic
basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like
eh, i'm having fun๐คทโโ๏ธ

a genre-bending, cinematic pop debut for the ages
it's a little criminal how good this is. like damn, save some for the rest of us
it takes such a brilliant artistic vision to craft something this airtight. like i'm not sure i could find a flaw if i tried. and she had some stiff competition in 2020 so that's saying something
like it's artsy, but it's fun! but also emotional! but also filled with bangers! and it remains so cohesive! what more could you want??
lightning in a bottle. an absolute star making turn. she was fucking born to do this
