Movie Recc - Tumblr Posts

So I haven't seen many movies, especially not horror movies- but it's Halloween season and I'm feeling a little down about the lack of spirit. Please recommend some good Halloween classics to watch, I already plan on The Craft, Trick or Treat, and Chucky. I also welcome children's or non-horror movies just as much, I literally just rewatched Scary Godmother :) (Assume that if it exists, I probably haven't seen it, no matter the popularity)

Who are your top 5 favorite ships ever (can be canon or non canon) from any media? Why love them?

I found your blog because of your One Piece posts (love them). Can I ask, is OP in your top 7 favorite media ever (until now)? What made those 7 media (can be anime/manga, books, movies, tv series, etc) special to you? Thanks if you want to answer.....🌻

Hello!

My top five ships currently, in no particular order, are;

Mishanks

Eruri

Erasermic

Akiangel

kuroken

I don't really have canon ship cause I don't really like to see full on romance in the media I consume 🫣. I actually only actively engage with the romance genre in fanfics or fandom. I like to watch people I ship interact and for them to have deep ties to each other but I have no interest in actually seeing them become canon. I mainly like ships because I think they have a really fun or interesting dynamic.

as for my favorite media across board thats a little tricky caus eI have a hard time conflating things like that and so I'm just gonna give my top 2 in the categories you listed.

Books:

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - It's just a great look into what it means to be middle-class Nigerian in a time of great country-wide and personal upheaval and it's such an interesting look at christianity in Nigeria and out a lot of things I didn't even realize I was feeling into words. It also has one of my favorite mentor characters of all time so yeah. I seriously recommend to anybody. It deals with a lot of heavy stuff so keep that in mind tho.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe - This was the book that got me into reading and so therefore will always hold a special place in my heart, because reading; books and fanfiction is such a huge part of my life it's hard to imagine who I'd be without it. I recommend to anyone whos interested in learning about one of the main cultures in Nigeria, Igbo its fascinating and tragic.

Anime/Manga:

Mob Psycho 100 - My feeling on Mob Psycho are best explained in this post. But long story short I love it so much.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood - God what's not to love? This has some of the best written female characters I have seen in any piece of media period not to talk of shonen anime. It's just so good and I'd seriously recommend.

TV Show:

Reservation dogs - I love this show so much and would stake my life on it. As someone aspiring to be a filmmaker this is the kind of stuff I pray to make. It's soooo good and it's technically a comedy but it's not held back by genre. The cast is great the show is great I recommend watching

Breaking bad - Every single good thing you've ever heard about breaking bad is true. I truly understand why this show is regarded as one of the best of all time.

Movie:

Into the Spiderverse - It makes me want to believe in something bigger than myself. You do truly leave feeling like you could be spiderman and no superhero movie has ever made me feel that way. Also, I love animation and this is about as animation as it gets.

Everything Everywhere All At Once - Hands down the best multiverse movie to ever exist and I don't care. Amazing

Bonus: Your Name - My favorite anime film. The twist literally blew my mind. Its so warm and cozy and fun, and then shit really goes down.

As for music I generally will listen to anything as long as I like it but I gravitate to Folk music and my favorite artist is Hozier.

As for One Piece it's actually not one of my favorite animes. It's definitely my favorite of the big three and classic shonen but yeah. It has and will always have a really special place in my heart cause it was my introduction to anything anime or manga. But yeah I don't keep up with it in what anyone could call a normal way. I just have a little to many problems with how the female characters are treated to really consistently keep up with it. It's kinda better now with Bonny but yeah. I appreciate the story and as anyone on my blog can tell I love the characters. but yeah, ironically, not one of my favorites. Will forever be in my heart though.

[The Last Shaman on Gaia]

Review: The people inflicting the most pain, are the ones living with the most pains internally about themselves, something they feel they can’t “escape” rather than embrace. These are the people who need the most compassion and the most love.

Shamanism is a way to keep hope alive for those who feel they can’t find the answers to pursuit of happiness. In reality, we are the ones that choose our path to that every single day, so what are we going to choose? To die or to embrace healing ourselves spiritually and mentally? Why waste a life when there’s option to recover. Thank you James Freeman for your story.

Dear men,

You are loved. You are heard. Most importantly, you are needed. Please keep showing up, but more importantly show up for yourself first, because that’s when it’s a life worth living.

the wild robot

you know that feeling when you walk out of a cinema, not really sure who you are anymore?

yeah.

i just went to see DreamWorks' the wild robot on previews and i feel that way; the animation, the story, the voice actors, the vibes, the subtle social commentary regarding a.i. and climate change.. just... yghHHH so good.

I'd write up a review but I'm so blown away I can't put my thoughts into words (that, and I don't want to spoil it)

imo this is DreamWorks best film. ever.…closely rivalled by Shrek, but not by much. i'd go as far to say this is the best original (not sequel) animated film I have since the original Inside Out released in 2015.

oh, my, gosh. 10/10. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

this one is going to fly at the 2025 Oscars - even up against Inside Out 2 I would not be surprised if it takes out best animated feature and/or best adapted screenplay... and has a shot at nominations for best picture, and best original score.. 🤞

and will (hopefully) help boost DreamWorks to new heights

roll on the sequel (please, we're begging)

IF YOU NEED MOVIE RECCOMENDATIONS!!!!! i highly suggest in the tall grass on netflix! it's based on a stephen king book :] it's a little corny and predictable but it's also deeply disturbing and poetic???? i posted abt it a little while ago (yesterday) so

also majors tws for it: mentioned/sorta implied incest, sexual harassment (sorta), disturbing imagery, literal cannibalism, gore, and a lot more
