cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 4heven before the deer is demanded to be sacrificed, you can decipher the bizarre atmosphere looming over the players. the grooming, deceit, incest, manipulation, all laid down the path for the inevitable downfall near the end. think this is one of kidman's best roles. 000
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 4hthis movie starts with a sharp venture into the surgery ward that sets the tone for the rest of the movie. sure this is a proper rich family but let's not ignore the tension. like a deer caught in headlights, i had to momentarily pause to grasp what i heard and saw because it got too bewildering. 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 5hi'm very pleased with this film. watching this for a sombre october morning was a good idea. it was strangely cathartic before i even reached the climax at the last quarter, somehow most of this movie was not unsettling at all. yorgos lanthimos delivered a good piece! 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 11/10/2026i think the hard shift towards right wing ideology is fueled by the hard imposition of nihilistic cruelty. the disregard for social etiquette started way back since the 2010s. 000

cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 06/07/2026male domestic abusers are some of the most rotten human beings you can ever come across. and irredeemable. this delusional age of toxic positivity and urging others to see the "good" in others for benefit for the doubt nonsense, heavily leans into abuse apologism. 010
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 25/06/2026it's ironic how fairy tales depicted in western media are what inadvertently gave a horrible impression of marriage. the romanticism of "young love" and how it saves a princess vs the tragedy of ageing with how marriage/childbirth only ever gave the queen a short life span. 000

cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 25/06/2026one thing fairy tales did bring to my notice, in childhood, is that *young princes* are devotional in love or rather, more expressive of their passions. whereas adult kings are more insipid. and callous to their queens (who almost always are deceased mother figures). 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 25/06/2026the days of ashura are finally upon us but sadly the community is once again obsessed with erupting shia vs sunni dichotomy debates.. idk man, it would be more meaningful if they joined together to instead address how abuse apologia is rampant in their holier-than-thou ummah 000

cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026i've never wasted my time arguing over a deliberately ambiguous gender of a fictional figure i am not attached to. i want the discussion to be directed at the authorial intent. fans are scared to do that because it would require reconciling with some uncomfortable truths about this man's creativity 000
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026appearing for over 50 chapters and getting over 40 cover stories for himself, yamato has managed to garner incredibly high popularity. but all for the wrong reasons, and failing to leave an impressionable mark on the general story. tho he has the personality and powerup to lead his own side quests 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026an obvious attempt to make fans over-sympathize with ace's death again by now portraying "kaido's daughter" mourning for his loss too. but it rendered the latter into a fanfic y/n instead. even if they're straying from the manga, animating meaningful filler with Momo or Luffy would've worked better 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026thus, Toei unfortunately tries to augment "relatability" on their end. as with tama, yam also got fanservice filler with ace, whose wano screentime is embellished to the brim. but i can't empathize with dramatized flashbacks when canonically, this 'tomodachi' is only briefly mentioned for 5 chps 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026to say this is an "identify confused woman" actually reveals a horrible caricature dummy by oda. i won't hesitate in saying that the writing then is heavily laced with not just transphobia, but misogyny as well. what's worse is the Lazy approach in formulating yamato, made very obvious. 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026to strictly anoint yamato as a trans man or tomboy confines them to a binary, something you realize oda wanted to challenge. while this fictional character professes to be a man, the narrative juxtaposes with the label of "kaido's Daughter" many times. the author's reminder this is still a woman.. 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026see, this is where the problem of the corroboration lies in. whatever oda wished to convey is left vague and unaddressed, so ambiguity tramples over clarity. there's an attempt at subverting gender roles by making yamato embrace manhood yet it's repeatedly responded with confusion (except by luffy) 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026the base concept can't be overlooked: isolated from the outside world, groomed by an abusive father who wanted a male heir, idolizes a martyred man, was shown kindness by men, is too powerful so naturally "sits with the boys". yes, the Lady Oscar influence is blatant, but does it work in shōnen? 110
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 20/05/2026and because of this superficiality, fans instead zoomed in on the one "unique" trait offered (some sort of compensation from the author maybe): the Oden hyperfixation. in fandom speak, Yamato seriously kins as Oden. this is played up as a gag until it irritably falls flat as a detrimental trope. 110
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 19/05/2026like where do i start? Yamato is all over the place, yet isn't some wedged-in cameo but has a fleshed out presence in the wano arc (the longest arc in OP so far). the problem is how generic the personality and "motives" are of theirs. you can tell yamato's initial portrayal is kept superficial. 100
cotton spore @coralfossils.bsky.social · 19/05/2026certain heavy characters get introduced in a story, well past halfway, for attempts to dramatically raise the stakes with flair, yet fail in narrative integration. and in one piece, Yamato is (one of) the corroboration of this writing pattern, for oda wrote himself into a corner with this one. 110
