We watched Your Name for movie night tonight. The first time in a long while I've been able to attend. I was gonna be quiet for the most part, but I ended up just talking a bunch. It was the first time I had seen the movie, so I was typing my thoughts and feelings and mid-watch theories. And it was fun. I had never quite wanted to watch it, because I don't like body swap tropes much, but I stand corrected with how this movie does it. It was Kitsu's favorite movie for a reason.
And then after, I suggested Clue, which was another of her favorites. So we watched that, and the first time watching that was with Kitsu and the community a couple years back. And this time, I could set up and make jokes along with the film. It was a blast! ...Pun not intended to relate to the film XD. I'm glad we did a light-hearted movie after a more emotional one. It was nice to just talk and watch something and feel happy.
And with what me and my tiger have talked about, and events that happened today with him, it feels like maybe things are gonna be okay. We're starting to get better. Far early in the journey, but still. The "stuck" period of grief feels mostly gone, at least for the two of us. So I'm glad. I wish Kitsu could've seen my reaction to Your Name, but I have hope that somehow, someway, she was there. Watching the same movies.
