Finished watching it a while ago, it is now almost 4 AM…

Mahito’s turned into a parakeet.

Anyway, I kept seeing parallels to other ghibli movies, that was fun.

It was giving me The Tempest vibes in terms of the higher power guy working as a puppet master and leaving the magic behind

The little girl at the end of the marching thing when they first get to the town looks so much like Setsko from Grave of the Fireflies, I think, I’ll have to look back.

Highlight of the whole experience was seeing my friend in an office works ad and getting to message them saying “I just saw you in the fucking cinema!!”

Off to see Boy and the Heron, wish me luck

i was reading some of the aftg bonus content + old asks nora answered (here) and a lot of it is sad, but the one thing that truly got me was this:

CAN THEY SING
Q: Can any of the foxes sing?

A: [highlighted] Seth could. He was a tenor. [end highlight]

Dan tries to carry a tune, and Allison is marginally better at it. Nicky would be fine if he’d stop trying to hit notes out of his range.

i’m in tears over seth gordon because like. imagine for a moment that you are a fifth-year senior, last one standing of your original teammates, the rest of whom killed themselves or dropped out. you raised your younger siblings from elementary school onward, struggling with behavioral and substance issues for years. you try so hard to get clean but it never quite works unless your on-again-off-again girlfriend decides she wants to be with you, and she fills the void that drugs leave. it’s a good period with her, so you don’t take any drugs with you when you go out. you’re so close to graduation, so close to championships, but you overdose, drown in your own puke on the bathroom floor. it’s ruled a suicide, but you were killed by your new teammate’s enemy to prove a point. you sang. you were a tenor.
