Abel Gongora/Naoko Yamada's Jaadugar is without a doubt one of the most stunning premieres. The exact level of polish, but more importantly, the degree of respectable nuance and cultural research into the historical anecdotes and lived-in perspectives shows true narrative grit 🧵

i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
well while it's not the universal truth, at some u really have to become something with value in order for you to be loved
weird society really, but it is what it is.
there's this belief buried deep inside me that i can't date anyone until i've become the absolute best version of myself. first i need the career. then the body. then the confidence. then the life plan. and only after all that, i'm finally allowed to be loved.
So glad this is being talked about. You lose parts of yourself when you constantly look to others for guidance about what you should do and like. It’s so important to be in tune with what catches your attention, your likes and dislikes and why you like/believe said thing.
If it helps anyone: types of attraction
Sexual- wow i wanna fuck them
Romantic- wow i wanna date them
Sensual- wow i wanna kiss/cuddle them
Aesthetic- wow they look hot
Platonic- wow i wanna friend them
crazy how introverted people who don't fit the beauty standard are seen as "weird and creepy" while attractive introverts are considered "cool and mysterious" even though both behave exactly the same way
