🍂mom, I'm tired.

I really be walking around my house singing Pale Pale Moon

watched top gun maverick for the first time and wow what a fun movie

A few more thoughts

This art by @Doodlemunster is just gorgeous. Doesn't she look like one of the Muses here? Actual goddess, I am telling you. From the moment we saw Miss thang on the screen, she has not been coded as human.

Siren? Of course

The first time we see Pearline, she is standing at the station, admiring the way Sammie's gift lures people in. His voice is something else; no wonder folk can't resist. As a siren, it's usually the other way around. She sings and men are at her mercy. I think this is why her gaze looks so curious. Pearline clocks his shit immediately. She can see something supernatural within this boy. Not to mention, the sinful nature of their interaction. She is the ultimate temptation for Preacher Boy. A married woman who adores him and his guitar? A blues singer that knows her way around a shotgun? A harlot who spends her nights entertaining fellow sinners? Jedediah would have a heart attack.

Werewolf? Absolutely

Why else do we learn nothing about her personal life? Her job? Her husband? She only really interacts with Sammie over the course of the night. That Juke Joint was packed with Black folk who've spent their whole lives in Clarksdale, Mississipi. Why doesn't anyone recognise her? As a lycanthrope, it is safer for Pearline to live on the edge of society.

Vampire? Eventually

Her last words before she turns are 'Sammie, run'. Does that sound like a woman who is happy in her married? Who longs to see her husband again? Scratch that, does that sound like a mortal? When Annie gets turned she refuses to live as anything but a human being. Her disgust was plainly stated, and thankfully Elijah respected that.

Pearline, on the other hand, accepts what is coming!! There is nothing to run from because she is already a creature of the night. From where I'm standing, Pearline is a werewolf in her mid to late 20s. She has experienced gruesome transformations before and with the full moon outside, she knows how ugly things could get. Her final warning to Sammie is a profound act of love and confirmation of her familiarity with the supernatural.

TLDR: This woman is not human. Never been human and I love that for her.

why are so many people sleeping on 'pale, pale moon'??!

yes, obviously 'i lied to you' and 'rocky road to dublin' were great scenes, and they were both used amazingly in the movie, but also?? PALE, PALE MOON???

this song did such a good job at showing the intense sense of community that was building between the people who were at the juke joint. everyone was joining together in this scene, singing and dancing to the rhythm in such synchronicity. they were partying and laughing and enjoying themselves together, and it really felt like they'd known each other a lifetime. and the fact that this song could be heard through the building's walls showed the power of that harmony, that sense of community. it showed what was possible when people came together under shared bonds and experiences.

and also take into consideration the literal meaning behind some of the lyrics. "Lawd away til the sun does rise" "Gonna move my body through the whole night long" obviously talking about partying through the whole night. but also this is a vampire movie, it's literally talking about how once they get turned to vampires, they'll only be able to move through the night, until the sun rises.

maybe i'm wrong, and people are talking about this song. but i loved it and i wanted to talk about it :D

also i am in LOVE with pearline!!!

she is so PRETTY and her voice is absolutely GORGEOUS she is literally PERFECT and in this essay i will---

Something else about Sinners (yeah I’m never gonna shut up about this) is the way black people and vampires are portrayed as sharing similar lifestyles. This is really emphasized when Pearline sings Pale Pale Moon. The lyrics talks about black people working all day in the Jim Crow South and the only time they have a semblance of freedom is under moonlight. Pearline even says that she doesn’t want the sun to shine and she doesn’t care if it never shines again because under the pale moon they can sing and they’re free!!!!

something about smoke being rejected since childhood because everyone was certain his father's evil lived on in him. something about annie being the only one to call smoke 'elijah' and how that makes him soften. something about how just before they're truly reunited, annie says 'i dont want any of that smoke on the baby'. something about annie being the one who sets smoke free from his past and his sins and lets him be human instead.

I always need to do this kind of messy sketches to familiarize myself with new characters (the word dump is especially important!)

you can see how much fun i had doodling these lmao

i love the blues <3

In Annie, we believe. In Annie, we trust. Dear Annie, I love you so much 🤍

Jinx and Ekko are like Past Lives or La La Land because they get together but in another life

Another reason I respect Sinners is how Pearline is treated.

She is a married woman that sleeps with Sammy, when she dances and sings she does it in a seductive/sexy way but she is never treated or viewed as a negative figure. She isn’t a whore, or a slut, and she isn’t viewed as a temptation to Sammy.

In fact, the only part of the movie where you are supposed to disagree or (maybe) dislike Pearline is when she doesn’t want to eat the garlic. The movie makes us grieve her when she is killed.

Any other horror movie would have given her a brutal death, it would have been “deserved”.

Instead, Sinners goes out of its way to show that she is a human being, and despite her sins we love her. Decades after she is killed, Sammy names his bar after her despite knowing her for one day. The movie honors her.

this is the main lesson I took from sinners

disclaimer: I did not mean offence with the word "witchy" I know she practices hoodoo, but I've made this meme at 3am and just copied the original meme word for word, I'm sorry if it seems disrespectful

ethel's cheer team @mothercain

not quite sure if its cannon whether or not ethel cain (the character) was a cheerleader but I love the uniform hayden wears in the American teenager mv and wanted to draw her in a theoretical late 80s American small town cheer squad. Maybe this counts as an au, not quite sure. as a non-american, cheerleading has always felt very alien to me. the idea that you guys actually have girls who jump around with pom poms before football games is very sweet. very highly based on this photo posted by Kimberly booth. no, I don't know her, I just found it on Pinterest and thought the faded-film vibe fit my vision lol

Yes. Just as I fall down this rabbit hole further, yes.

i honestly think so much of ethel cain, like that girl understands me and i feel so deeply for her

RIP Kim Jonghyun. You stood out to be a very talented vocalist in the K-Industry. I hope you are in a better place. I love you, we all love you. You are loved. 

All my prayers to Jonghyun’s friends and family, Shinee and  Shawols. Rest In Peace Kim Jonghyun.

No matter what kpop group you follow, you have to admit that Shinee’s Jonghyun was a great idol and that he brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people. Thank you for everything that you did Jonghyun. Rest in peace.

Evolution of Yoonmin Slaying Armys

Ahhhh I’ve decided to get to the series I shamelessly did not update. I’m sorry about that, so as per the request I got probably a few months ago ( I’m so sorry). Let’s look at how Yoonmin has been slaying our exitance through the years.

2013

They were super charming.

And pretty goofy too ;)

2014

They were a little playful.

And by little I mean a lot. XD

2015

They turned out to be quite breathtaking.

But as dorky as ever. 👍🏽

2016

When they created an unforgettable performance.🙌🏽

And they didn’t really lose their funny acts 😂.

2017

When they made wigs fly. 💨

And made us laugh our guts out.😂

With that, we come to the end of our wonderful Yoonmin montage. I hope I can update the rest of the sets WITHOUT procrastinating. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY  JIMINIE 💕💕💕💕💕

Happy Birthday to This beautiful boy.  He’s a fucking great human being that deserves all the love in the world. He’s a literal blessing to the planet. Happy Birthday Park Jimin.
