I Just Saw Pixar's Strange World Today, And Although I Don't Think It's Pixar's Best.

I just saw Pixar's Strange World today, and although I don't think it's Pixar's best.

Disney really just fucked the movie over with it's limited marketing.

After Kratos almost kills Atreus when he's in bear form and the dialogue of Atreus wanting to learn the Lyre, I kinda wonder how often Kratos sees Calliope in Atreus.

Calliope and Atreus are both shown to be compassionate, but often naive kids.

Both were born sick and protected by Kratos despite it going against how he was raised.

Both have artistic abilities, Calliope's flute and Atreus drawings.

Kratos sounded so surprised when Atreus asked if he could learn the lyre.

I don't know, this all stemmed from a scene in my head of Kratos looking at Atreus and kinda realizing that he's 'older' than Calliope now.

For Chistmas, I finally watched the new Scrooge: A Christmas Carol on Netflix.

It was something else. I liked it, but it's definitely not your usual retelling of A Christmas Carol. And I've seen some goofy retellings.

Admittedly, this may just be because I grew up in the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons era of animated media and my obsession for Barbie in A Christmas Carol...

I kinda want to ship this version of Ebenezer Scrooge with Eden Starling, not even necessarily in a romantic sense, just because I've found it funny how almost every version of the story is an old miser while Barbie is a diva.

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

I wonder if vampires taste blood.

Like sure, they have a starved kinda hunger for it, but can they like...taste it?

Some universes allows them to drink animal blood and others are restricted to human.

I'm kinda curious because I just got my wisdom teeth removed and my numb mouth tastes like blood. I hate it.
