those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what’s about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn’t coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death – hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. “it won’t reset anymore,” you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you’re still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them
today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy
Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? Thatâs fine. Cat too? Love cats.Â
My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, thereâs no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.
I donât think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.
And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it
But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away đ
the most underrated thing about the ghibli movies is how deeply they are love stories to working people, to the small folk, to moments of love and kindness. its not just about magic, many movies are about magic and fairytales. Its not only about the people in the stories, but about stories in the people. And they are just loveable.
imagine you’re in a timeloop and everything goes exactly the same every time, except for a random user that just posts completely differently each loop. sometimes they don’t post at all. they never post about the timeloop, though
during one loop you message them to ask if they know what’s going on and they immediately block you and go back to posting
I love that amid the stress of being caught in a temporal paradox you are checking tumblr dot com
I had this idea for a looping animation in which a single dot has a pretty long loop, but the animation as a whole is much shorter. Because of the repetition this animation is only 1 second long!
