We'll get there

one thing ill never get out of my head is ryan going from "i want it to look like you" to "it'll never be me" to "please tell me it's really you". absolutely sickening

my foot hanging off the bed i don't even care anymore just let the monster take me ...

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.

leviticus sequel where it's they have to search for jobs to work together so they'll never be alone and end up doordashing. leviticar.

ok ive put some thought into it and i wouldnt change a thing about leviticus’ ending. the entity never really being defeated shows that homophobia will never truly die, but if you make the choice to no longer live in fear then that fear loses all power over you. i know some people wish they gave us a clear ending but personally i like that its up to interpretation, all we know is that they have a happy ending together

Y'all ever think of what the person responsible for Rocky's voice bank must've felt when those videos finally got to earth? Imagine doing a voice acting gig for a bank voice on a computer or whatever that you eventually completely forget about, only for it to one day come back to you when the FIRST intellectual alien lifeform that a human being has ever met decides to use it as their chosen voice. The mild horror. The exhilaration. The emotional punch. This is it. This is your magnum opus. You have given a human voice to a sentient rock and it will NEVER get better than this. Also, they picked you over MERYL STREEP?!?!

naim dosen't talk about it, but in the days since they left town ryan watches as bruises start to appear around his mouth...

the idea of both of them being unable to tell the other specifics of what the entity did to them bc of how horrific and violating of an experience it was, until months or years later when the other does something that unintentionally triggers that memory and it comes spilling out. like they're making out against a wall and ryan has his hand on naim's jaw, he pulls away for a moment, thumb slipping past naim's lips, and naim is seized by suffocating panic. He shoves ryan away trembling, and in the aftermath is forced to open up abt what exactly the entity did to him that night

I don't think Leviticus needs a sequel (unless it follows a completely different couple going through the same thing in a different setting) but they should instead reshoot the entire movie from Ryan's POV please Adrian Chiarella I have like 20 bucks in my bank account you can have it all
