[ID: Project Hail Mary fanart depicting Grace as a light-skinned Black man with a short afro; the first piece is in color and the second is grayscale. In the first, he laughs happily while Rocky, wearing a form-fitting xenonite suit, sits in his lap and chirps. His glasses are hanging below his chin. In the second, he leans sadly on a poster of Mae Jemison on the wall labeled "Posters of black scientists/astronauts he had in his classroom that got sent to space" and says, "Oh Mae Jemison we're really in it now."

COPYCAT (1995) dir. Jon Amiel

the amazing digital bong rip

"We played with this idea of, is she fully seeing through her own eyes what's happening and doesn't feel in control, or if it's kind of like teleportation where every time that she pops back in, it's from the moment that she popped back in before, which is why whenever she's in the house, she comes out and she's like, 'Wait, where am I?’ So we played with both of them, and now that I've watched the film back, I think that she does both. I think that in the very beginning, whenever she doesn't understand what's going on, she's teleporting, and once she realizes what's going on, Nikki’s a fighter, and so her urge to fight the wish just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and that’s why she has the grief at the end, because she's watched it happen. She's felt it. She has to deal with it. It wasn't her fault. Her life has completely changed. And she just lets it all go." — Inde Navarrette (x)

ngl i think she was also saying something more interesting when she said that there was no cultural reckoning for said trope. nobody really punishes transphobia socially. there's also no spate of critically acclaimed movies inverting or meaningfully engaging with the valence of said representations. we have cycled through years in the mainstream with movies of cis women as girlbosses and murderers, which are the cultural reckoning for years of feminist criticism of sexist tropes about non agentic and fridged women.
