Kitsuidarian - Kitsui Darian

I am all about Ace Peridot right now.

I mean, alright, yeah, technically, the Gems have no concept of sex in the first place – or any form of reproduction that doesn’t involve drilling a hole in the ground. On a literal level, they’re all asexual.

But that’s not a human experience. That’s made-up sci-fi gobbledygook. It doesn’t actually speak to the feelings or the experiences of actual asexual people. Or at the very least, it doesn’t really speak to mine.

But Peridot here… I like this.

There’s this…this physical form of intimacy, this incredible link that people can have between them that turns their love into something material, something of the flesh, and everyone around you keeps talking about how fantastic it is. It’s pretty much become an everyday part of their lives. And it’s kind of funny. And kind of weird. And you don’t really know what to think about it. Most of the time, it’s hard to picture yourself actually doing it. But at the same time, maybe part of you really wants to, at least once, just to see what it’s like. Just to see what all the noise is about. Or, then again, no, maybe you don’t.

Maybe someday you will.

Maybe someday you won’t.

Either way, whether or not you might choose to try it out one day, you just don’t feel the need like other people do. You’re not quite the same as them.

And that’s okay.

Having heard so much about how beautiful and amazing fusion is, Peridot seemed to have this idea that if she didn’t go through with it, then she would be doing something wrong – that it would be a fault or a failing, that it would make her a bad Crystal Gem. But, no. No, it doesn’t. It’s her right to say no. Any time. For any reason. It’s her right never to fuse at all if she doesn’t want to.

And Garnet’s here to let her know that nobody should ever be pressured or forced into a fusion they don’t want or one they’re not ready for.

You know, like, fusion is a lot of things. Because relationships can be a lot of things, and “fusion” is just a sci-fi gobbledygook word for “relationship.”

In The Answer, fusion was the scary, mysterious, giddy, giggly joy of a new relationship. The spark. The rush. The terrifying, wonderful electricity.

In Garnet, generally, it’s a deep and long-lasting commitment.

In Malachite, it’s the unhealthy, malevolent force that keeps two people who despise each other from letting each other go.

And, tonight, it was a physical experience that Peridot simply wants no part of. Certainly not right now. And maybe not ever. And she expected to be lambasted for that. She expected not to be accepted, but, instead, she found support and respect and compassion. And I just really appreciate that.

I had never thought much of children. They were helpless little things, so prone to harm themselves or fall prey to others. I had considered children nothing more than the vermin of the human race, who all grew up into potential meals. Now, however, I have a child of my own… SEBASTIAN’S POV

This is the epilogue to The Final Act. I loved the series, even though it’s so sad. I’m not sure if this is complete or not, because AO3 says it is but the author says there will be another chapter…

Pixar COCO ¡Viva México!

Ok, ok, so I recently went to see the movie and let me tell you something… it’s more than just a movie, es una obra de arte.

I’m not joking, really, my expectations went beyond what I thought. It was amazing in every way. Well, maybe I’m gonna make some spoilers, but I found myself in need of telling you my experience as a Mexican point of view.

Because yes, I’m proudly Mexican.

1. Estás muy flaco, ¡come más!

This is funny. 

In each family, at least in mine, it is normal that your grandmother wants to feed you because, according to her, you are very thin. And this reminded me a lot of my grandmother, whom I sweetly called Yaya. And yes, she is a strong, very determined woman who always fills my plate with lots of food. 

But my Yaya’s food is always the best.

2. El maravilloso ambiente

There was no time to take the eyes off every scene, every color, every sound, literally. In the land of the living, the colors were relatively balanced, since it is a village, when dusk comes, which illuminates each house in a beautiful orange color. The colorful cemeteries and ofrendas captivated me greatly, for the passion with which we adorn the tombs of our departed is more than a tradition; is a connection that even Death itself can never take away.

3. ¡Música maestro!

My God, I can’t believe Disney has started its own theme with Mariachi music. 

AY, AY, AY!!

That. was. Phenomenal. 

The rest of the film, when I started to hear the voices of each character singing, dancing or even playing guitar, I almost felt like jumping and singing, clapping and dancing. If anything you must be sure, is that when a Mexican hears that kind of music, mariachi, trumpets, violins, the shoe, the drums, gives him an infinite desire to be celebrating forever.

4. La Chancla

La abuelita threatening everyone with la chancla. 

That’s typical of mexican family. No, seriously. Once my Yaya threw me la chancla voladora when I was little and I was running and they had yelled at me to stop. That could not be missing!

If you have never been threatened with la chancla, or much less have hit you with it, trust me, as a mexican you had no childhood.

5. La Llorona

Originally, the song La Llorona is sung by Chavela Vargas. If you have never heard of it, I strongly recommend that you do so. That was totally amazing! 

Ay, de mí llorona. Llorona, tú eres mi chunca. Ay, de mí llorona. Llorona, tú eres mi chunca…

Y aunque me cueste la vida, llorona, no dejaré de quererte. Y aunque me cueste la vida, llorona, no dejaré de quererte…

Miguel’s great-great-grandmother sang it with such sentiment made me shed tears, because I’ve heard it since I was a little girl. My grandmother sometimes sings it when she’s cooking.

6. Ay, Ernesto, no te rajes

Yes, yes, YES!!!

I actually knew that Ernesto de la Cruz was inspired by Pedro Infante. OH, MY GOD! I love this man so much!

Maybe you can remember him with the song Ay, Jalisco no te rajes! (From the movie The Tree Caballeros) There are other songs that I recommend you to hear. But my favorite has always been that.

Yo soy Mexicano, Mexico Lindo, Ella, Entre suspiro y suspiro, El Abandonado, and more…

7. Alebrijes

Actually, this was a very original idea that I loved. 

Alebrijes are imaginary beings made up of physiognomic elements of different animals, a combination of several animals, not only fantastic but also real. They’re handicrafts made with the technique of the cartonería, that they are painted with joyful colors and vibrant.

Alebrijes are one of the many wonders of Mexican art and a pride and the hallmark of Oaxaca. Having a alebrije or a collection of them at home is considered good luck and it is said that happiness will accompany anyone who owns one of these works of art. In addition, owning a alebrije is to possess the best of Mexican art, so vast, so colorful, so full of life and a beauty recognized internationally.

8. La Familia es primero

Even though The Book of Life is also another of my favorite movies, something made me even love more Coco than this. 

Family.

It may sound a little… cliché, but for me the family has always been the most important thing. In fact, I quite identified with Miguel’s family. I could see in my own flesh not only my grandmother, but my uncles, my cousins and my other relatives. We don’t live in one house, we live in different places.

Traditionally my grandfathers are doctors, and they wanted my mother to be a doctor, but she preferred to study theater just as my father studied music. And there could be no doubt that her own daughter would also want to be an artist.

When I first went to Europe to visit the Universities, my grandmother, who repudiated the idea of being an artist, came to me one day and said to me: “It’s your life, you decide what you want and what you choose will be always good for me.”

The love of the family is so different and so unique, that to a certain point it made me realize that I do not need love of a couple if I have people that I can always talk to and who can support me too.

9. Recuérdame

This song was definitely the best of the best. Full of feelings, full of dedication, I should applaud the effort for composers, I haven’t had the privilege of hearing it in English, but I think you should also listen to it in Spanish, and I say it because the song sounds infinitely cool. and with the voice of the characters, made my skin prickly and shed more tears.

10. Mama Coco

This, without a doubt, is my favorite. The entire character of mama Coco.

She may not appear more than some scenes from the entire film, but she is a very important and very captivating character. The relationship she has with Miguel is very special, an old mind and a big-hearted young man, the love of grandparents or great-grandparents is so strong and has no limits…

I have lived with my great-grandparents since I was two years old, and I loved them with all my heart just like them to me.

They are no longer with me…

But that does not mean that I have forgotten them. I remember them every day, every moment, when I least expect it, I sometimes dream about them. Sometimes I ask my grandparents how they were as young people, and I could imagine their lives in black and white films, where they wore dresses and suits.

The times of my great-grandfathers were hard, but were also beautiful, they enjoyed their entire life and were happy. Mama Coco was able to leave the world knowing that her father loved her and sang for the last time. Recuérdame with her great-grandchild.

What a beautiful scene, so simple, so lovely, that speaks for much.

Believe it or not, I loved Coco more than The Book of Life.

But I don’t think there has to be some anger cause somehow they seem to be something in como. For God’s sake, they do NOT seem at all, at least of the plot. 

Is more than obvious that the producers and the cast made a mega effort to make the film an original work, and yes, it is original, cause there were so many unexpected twists, plus that, again, made me cry.

Don’t hate Coco, really, the movie is worth seeing, and it is such a beautiful and so cute way of putting the family theme. 

The Book of Life talked about fear in being yourself: there is nothing wrong of being yourself and always follow your heart, while Coco talks about that it is okay to follow your dreams, but also think about your family, think about something that goes more beyond your expectations, but what you choose will always have the support of your family.

Two films focusing on Mexico, focusing on El Dia de los Muertos, two films that use direct themes, but that somehow made me realize what Life is like.

So, go ahead, Vive tu momento.

the suffering never ends
