This Thing Is So Good And So Pure

pom poko was one of my fav ghibli movies as a kid and i still stand by it being bizzare but good, it gets harrowing at times but is just a really interesting movie because its trying to be a documentary and a fantasy adventure and slice of life all at once??? its, yeah

Pom Poko fascinates me, I've watched it about 3 times now. I didn't discover it until I was an adult (Howl's Moving Castle was Baby Bones' Ghibli movie) and at first I thought it was kinda weak but...

I've never seen another movie that was able to capture the feeling of group in-fighting and procrastination tanking a movement quite as well as Pom Poko. At every point, it feels like there's a drastic but obvious solution to their problem, which is only attempted too late.

Centrists and "level-headed" members of the Tanuki clan deescalate the passion of the more radical members, and yet, prevent them from taking acceptable (but still losing) pathways out of the conflict. It's a REALLY easy to miss detail that the same Tanuki leader who refuses the Fox's job offer, dooming his comrades to the worst case scenario, is the very same one who is selling undeveloped real estate at the end of the movie.

Because the Tanukis can't organize, can't agree to fixing the problem before it gets too bad, because Bunta keeps getting injured or neutralized, every sacrifice is in vain. They have to find some crummy 'silver lining' in their home being reduced to a golf course, half of their population working with chronic fatigue in a society not built for them, and the other half literally homeless.

But that's the Tanuki as we're shown all movie long; unable to get serious, finding simple joys and pleasures as paradise is pulled like a rug from below their feet, literally pleading to the humans in the audience to fix their problems for them.

It really stuck with me. I wanna get a nice copy on DVD lmao

i really love all your posts featuring lady sneasler and her sneasettes (kits), but i hope that she approves of ingos little crush.. like lickin zisu to make sure shes good enough

Thank you very much OP! Lady Sneasler was always curious as to who Zisu was when Ingo would start his work at the training grounds, and she’d start smelling her on him when he would return to her. Who is this new person he’s always hanging around now? She becomes very interested in Ingo’s social life haha

Ingo has both heard and observed how Sneaslers are solitary creatures and can sometimes get very protective over their small groups if they somehow manage to form them. And it’s pretty clear Lady sees Ingo as part of her “group”. Would Sneasler attack Zisu if she ever met her?? Surely not, he couldn’t see Lady doing that, but he can’t help but stress about it…

Turns out Ingo worried over nothing; when they do finally meet, it’s all curious sniffing, excited yowling, and kitty licks!

this game is pushing an agenda............😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 what thefuckkkk

Warning: do not delete any sideblogs

I’ve been seeing it happen to a handful of people, but apparently if you try to delete your sideblog you will end up deleting your MAIN tumblr account entirely as well I don’t know if this is a bug or something, but I’ve seen it happen to ~4 people now, so until this possible bug gets worked out do NOT delete any of your sideblogs unless you want to risk deleting your account entirely

2day i was digging up my pictures and found my old dorohedoro sorcerer oc! so i redrew her! she's a sorcerer that runs a barbershop in the sorcerors world, which calls in a lot of shady people unfortunately. anyone whos gone with any intentions of getting a free haircut is promptly killed, and i'd like to think she was a former hitman. has a duplicate barbershop in the hole that she runs, which is run by her partner. who knows what they may be like, though..? maybe she has a cool nickname like, "The wolf of Zagan City", or something?

now that I've posted fgo stuff on here. would you be interested in him in the babygirl pose

I think dj cyber is my fav.... (+ random solace illness)

zolusan has so much potential and most if it is if luffy and zoro are trying to kill sanji for fun or if sanji and zoro are kissing luffy and hes making them fight for sport. theres no other way to enjoy it.. sorry
