life's mindless musings

I LIVED THROUGH THE AMBER GLENN DARK AGES AND NOW I GET TO LIVE THROUGH THE AMBER GLENN RENAISSANCE

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

imo the multiverse in EEAAO is such a perfect metaphor for some very specific types of asian american immigrant trauma that hit so close to home… on the one hand, evelyn is leaping into all these universes, even the absurd ones, and thinking… these are all people i could have been, lives i could have lived, i could have Been Someone but instead i’m only just evelyn. she’s an exceptional person with so many talents and passions back home, and then she came over to the states to be taken for granted and cut down by everyone around her into a stereotype and a nobody. but even as the film is recognizing all the abandoned dreams of immigrant mothers, at the same time, for Jobu tupaki, each universe isn’t something new she could have been, it’s something she HAD to be, even if she didn’t want to. her mother pushed her past her limit and she was forced to be every single version of herself at the same time… people she didn’t want to be, things she’s not cut out for, to the point where she wants to blow it all up and be nothing at all. it really nails imo a pretty common 2nd gen experience of feeling like you have to be perfect at everything and live out all your parents dreams for them for so long that eventually you snap and look back on everything you used to be and think… that was fucking bullshit. that was pointless, none of this fucking matters. and then the only thing that can save you from the nihilism is your mother telling you “all those absurd things you used to be don’t matter to me, all i need you to be is you” 

Misha is a world champion & olympic champion material and I can't wait for him to prove it by claiming the titles. Switching to Mishin clearly is letting him thrive and God, that's what he deserves.

This is the reason why it’s called The Legend of Korra. She’s a fucking LEGEND
