You Wake In The Night With Your Arm Hanging Over The Side Of Your Bed. It Is Still Dark, And Your Bedroom

friends, i am afraid that "i want more weird freak art, but ONLY if it's not weird PORN" is a completely incoherent stance. you are not obligated to like the weird porn that is sexualizing fucked up shit, but if you want more weird art made by freaks, you need to create an environment where people feel comfortable making transgressive and shocking art that upsets people, and that just so happens to include weird porn and sexualizing fucked up things as a category, like, by definition!

like i cannot stress enough that you cannot pick and choose which transgressive things can exist in your artistic sphere based on if they upset and shock you or not... that's undermining the entire point of artistic spheres that encourage transgression!

CAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOUCH I GET THIS FEELING

EVERY TIME WE KISS I SWEAR I COULD FLY

CAN’T U FEEL MY HEART BEAT FAST, I WANT THIS TO LAST

NEED YOU BY MY SIDE

I really like the idea of Killua teaching Gon all of these slang words that no one uses anymore. And Gon being Gon gets all excited.

Killua: This is a really terrible idea…

Gon: Yolo.

Killua: Wow, you’re adorable.

Gon: Swag.

…….

Gon, eating spaghetti: Damn, this is dank.

……

Killua: This is such a ratty hotel.

Gon: Yeah, it’s pretty ratchet.

Killua: Gon…

……

Gon, walking into the gym: We bout to get swol. This place is lit.

…..

Gon buys Killua and him matching #SquadGoals t-shirts.

….

Killua: Gon, what-

Gon: YEET.

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.
