the Wednesday series is so silly goofy for even IMPLYING that gomez and morticia wouldn't know how to cover up a murder properly, let alone that Wednesday would be unironically scandalised by learning her parents had killed someone. like...do the clowns writing this show actually understand the premise/ethos of The Addams Family? why does this show constantly have them allying with/grovelling at the feet of institutions?? why bother making a show about Wednesday and by extension the Addams family if you're not going to honour their competent oddness and satirical anti-establishment roots? and that's before we even get into the weird ass colourblind racism all throughout this show. I cannot believe there's a scene in this show where morticia addams, a white woman, tells a Black man he has "no idea what it's like not to be believed." I can't believe that the ringleader of the bullies who is bigotedly abusing the "outcasts" is a young Black boy. The antiblackness is insane. like, really? it's so obvious there are next to no poc in significant creative roles on this show which is so fucked considering they not only made Wednesday Latine, but made her ancestory an integral part of the series. I feel like a broken record at this point, but surface level diversity in casting means absolutely nothing so long as the people holding creative control are white. It's just elaborate puppetry, and too many of you fall for it everytime. All this show does is use actors or colour to pay lip-service to the "whitewashing" of history, while the show itself is written and directed almost exclusively by white people. As far as I can tell there is one director of colour, Gandja Monteiro, who directs 2 mid season eps. Every single other person in creative decision making roles is white. It's an absolute JOKE.
goncharov reality check (debrief)
because derealization is a serious thing, and a lot of these kinds jokes have contributed to my own hospitalization with a seizure, i wanted to mention that this is another one of the TumblrClan styleĀ ākeep everyone who doesnt understand out of the loopā memes, like a photoset of still images of tumblrās loading stand-in for images that saysĀ ābest advice on the websiteā below.
goncharov doesnāt exist yet, if it ever will. and if it does or you remember it ā oh well. donāt think too hard on that kind of stuff. internet memes are VERY unkind to paranoia, so if youāre struggling, take it easy and remember to block tags, watch some calming videos without words, or just listen to some familiar music if things get too hard.Ā
i heard references to this kind of joke back when i had just gotten out of the hospital about a month or two ago. and it was VERY unpleasant dealing with the natural post-ictal stage with everyone making jokes that actually do cause some issues if there isnāt a tag to bring people back into reality. so maybe this will help
Goncharov Lore Thus Far, based on the top tumblr post results
Main cast are Goncharov himself, his wife Katya (nĆ©e Michailov), and AndreyĀ
One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a āsad boiā and is involved in gambling.Ā
Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy.Ā
There is a Boat Scene. Katya survives via resourcefulness.Ā
Andrey and Goncharov have a substantial amount of homoeroticism. Andrey also has an internet in Katya. This forms a true love triangle.Ā
At some point, Katya threatens to shoot Goncharov. This is framed as a Girlboss Moment.Ā
There is also a Beer Bottle Scene.Ā
Katya fakes her death.Ā
heavy clock symbolism. A pivotal scene occurs at a clock tower, there is a grandfather clock in the background of some sets, etcĀ
A supporting female character named Sofia makes an appearance, wearing a cocktail dress. Katya protects her at some point. Theyāre both in the Boat Scene. At one point they buy fruit together in a marketplace. This is lesbian shipping fuel.Ā
The villain, likely Mario, has a sidekick named Icepick Joe. Joe commits a final act of heroism before being left for deadā after being killed by an Icepick. Perhaps he turned against Mario and was killed in retaliation?
Goncharov, played by DeNiro, has a very distinctive manner of walking.Ā
Katyaās brother, Valery, makes an appearance.Ā
from posts Iāve witnessed (only mentioning things Iāve seen >5 blogs post about) - there is an Anchovies scene, and fish symbolism also plays a heavy role. at some point Katya is seen near a fish bowl full of goldfish, and this is important to the Boat Scene as well. - Goncharov and Andrey have homoerotic tension, and this is used to further statements about the cycle of repression and violence
The story involves Goncharov losing himself in a downward spiral.Ā It is a tragedy of unbecoming.
Thereās a Bridge Scene. This is the one with the clocktower chiming in the background.
Thereās a scene involving a tank of anchovies.Ā
Icepick Joe has a traumatic backstoryĀ
Katya betrays Goncharov AND Sofia. Sheās well-intentioned, but it all comes crashing down, ending in her losing them bothā losing Sofia emotionally and inadvertently causing Goncharovās death
Thereās a shootout in Pompeii in which Mario destroys historically significant architecture. This is representative of the destructive nature of nationalism.
all this talk about goncharov but i dont see anybody posting the soundtrack??? like how are you gonna talk about this movie without the music
okay well people have asked so uh. I put it on spotify? dunno when itll show up but its there and also heres the sheet music???

the bravery of a girl who has to decide what is for dinner and then cook it and then wash dishes every day forever and ever.
That's called being an adult
no itās called being the bravest girl on planet earth
I'm so FUCKING OVER that small but loud population of queer youth who refuse to view anything outside of their own personal narrow range of experiences.
Look. It's great that so many of you have grown up in environments that are safe for you, queer or not. BUT THATS NOT EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE.
Just because YOU are in a safe position to come out, and understand your own identity enough to come out, and don't have to fear repercussions from coming out, and are happy and eager to come out, DOES NOT MEAN THAT EVERYONE IS.
NO ONE has to come out before they are ready. Being ready might be waiting until you've moved out of home. Being ready might be sitting privately with a label for a year or two or three to see if it fits you before you start telling people. Being ready might not be until you're an adult. Being ready might not be until you're financially independent and can handle the loss of your queerphobic family.
MAYBE YOULL NEVER BE READY. THATS OK.
I'm so fucking over the queer youth who think that you're only a "real" queer person if you're Out And Proud, or who think that all other queer people owe it to society to walk around with their labels tattooed onto their foreheads.
Fuck you if you think that anyone owes you their sexuality. Fuck you if you think that the only "real" queer person is one who is out to everyone in their life. Fuck you if you think that someone else's sexuality has ANYTHING to do with you.
It's great that you personally have had only good experiences with being queer, but NOT EVERYONE HAS and NOT EVERYONR IS READY TO COME OUT. Good God, when will y'all start listening to people who know more about this shit than you do?
So I am of the opinion that not all slurs are created equal. What do I mean by this? People being called the N-word while being lynched (historically), shot, chased out of neighborhoods, etc. is not the same as being called "crazy." I won't comment on s* because that's not my place, but I am mentally disabled and think crazy is comparable, since it has been used against me quite a bit.
All I'm saying is that, as a black person, it hurts me more to be called the n word than being called crazy ever could. Are both technically slurs by the dictionary definition? Sure... But I honestly see one as a genuine slur associated with a history of oppression/violence/terror and the other as simply a way of mocking and being mean to someone.
I understand that, for some of us, the words our bullies used make that pain very real! But I also kind of begin to wonder if this is more needing to work on personal trauma rather than expecting others to never use words regardless of meaning/context? Some words will never not be an insult, but idk if this is the case here.
Does anyone else feel like weighing in on this? I'd love to read some (civil) opinions!
people who can graciously hide that they donāt like people are so terrifying. last year while working on tech for a play i asked my friend how he became friends with another guy on the crew and he got quiet, looked straight into my soul and said āheās not my friend. i fucking hate him.ā i lost 5 years of my life
A I R Ā S I G N S
I hate this post because I am an air sign and I donāt see how this stuff is terrifying. This is just, you know, how you do.
Youāve got something that needs to get done, it doesnāt really matter if you like a person, you can still treat them well and be kind to them in order to make things go smoothly. Just because I hate someone doesnāt mean they need to know it.
is anyone else getting absolutely no work done at all

chadwickbosemanĀ It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman.Ā
Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV.Ā
ā£A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilsonās Ma Raineyās Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.Ā ā£ā£
It was the honor of his career to bring King TāChalla to life in Black Panther. ā£He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.Ā ā£
The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.Ā ā£ā£

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didnāt know what heād done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.
Why canāt we have a movie about him?
He was often called āSempoā, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.
His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.
He didnāt simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not āmisreadā orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.
He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commanderās Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commanderās Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.
Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.
It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.
Itās a tragedy that the Sugiharas arenāt household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they arenāt European? I donāt know. But Iāve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, IĀ would finance a movie about them.
He told an interviewer:
You want to know about my motivation, donāt you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.
People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many peopleās livesā¦.The spirit of humanity, philanthropyā¦neighborly friendshipā¦with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situationāand because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.
He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugiharaās funeral.
I will forever reblog this, I wish more people would know about them!
I liked this before when it had way less information. Thank you, history-sharers.
Tucked away in a corner in L.A.ās Little Tokyo is a life-sized statue of Chiune, seated on a bench and smiling gently as he holds out a visa.Ā
The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud;Ā āHe who saves one life, saves the entire world.ā Ā
I had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, but itās since become one of my favorite pieces of public art.Ā
Chiune Sugihara. Ā Original antifa.
PBS made a documentary about Chiune Sugihara in 2005. If youāre interested in him, itās definitely worth checking out. (The PBS link above even has some interactive information to go along with the film.) Ask your local library if they have a copy/can order you one from another library. You wonāt be disappointed!
kate beaton wasnāt kidding when she said look him up
i am going to find this and take him a present
always reblog mr sugihara
fanfiction is so wild cause im likeā¦..ugh im not in the mood to read a bookā¦..iāll just read an 82k word fic insteadā¦ā¦
Lookā¦. To start a book⦠You have to make room in yourself for new characters and worlds. Do I look like I have the emotional energy for that? Do I look like I can trust like that right now? Just show me the things I already know pay good returns on my investment, except I also want to read something new so I guess they can be in a coffee shop this time.
This - this is it, youāve put it into words
