God I really cannot express how much I despise the UK government for their impending social media ban for under-16s

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

"I'd kill to watch this again for the first time." NO. God forbid I ever forget this. That I ever lose this feeling, this love, this story. God forbid I leave this behind and risk never knowing it.

One day I will stop reading queer sci-fi/fantasy that has both social commentary, insane worldbuilding, and a profound exploration of the fundamentals of existence since these books always make me very sad, HOWEVER, today is certainly not that day.

i was just reading stuff about how phm is one of the few movies without a big romance plot or subplot, and thinking off of this, phm really represents how strong and true platonic love can be. grace ended up caring so, so much for the strongest friend he’s ever made in his life that he sacrificed his one, if not only, chance to go back home just to save him. romance never did work out for grace, as he says, but at the end of the movie he finally understands yao’s statement; “you just have to find someone to be brave for.” he learns the true strength of platonic relationships, and how groundbreaking it can really be to have someone you know and that you love and that you can count on for anything. he let rocky past the walls he’s put up in relationships all his life, and it turned out to be the greatest decision he’s ever made.
