#v for vendetta
v for vendetta is like 1984 by george orwell meets the phantom of the opera
I mean…it’s kinda why I love it so damn much, from the first time I saw it.
Got to say V’s Shadow Gallery beats Erik’s Lair by a lot. All that art, All those books!! I’d happily live there.
Custom shoes for my dearest friend Raquel, who always encourages me.
Inspired by oddlyindie. Non-profit work.
so we have
a “reincarnated princess” from another world
who like Lu Tze is a janitor
& like Esme & Magrat & Tiffany is associated w bees
the other world is supposedly science fictional but in fact is pure fairyland w animal-people
incl a werewolf supersoldier “legionary” played by the lead of that whitewashed travesty of EAGLE OF THE NINTH not fassbender the other one
who self-identifies as a dog
& his mentor Richard Sharpe / Eddard Stark / Stinger Apini a bee-man
get it - BE(EM)AN
a pune or play on words
but BEE + WOLF = BEOWULF aka BEAR
so yah i said the disarming of Leatherback signalled PACIFIC RIM as BEOWULF fixfic
i wasnt the only one to catch that
but then theres the fact that her evil rivals are all IMMORTAL VAMPIRE ARISTOCRATS FROM SPACE im not the only one to catch that w early reviews invoking Countess Bathory even
& their decor isnt just SPACE MEDIEVAL GOTHIC (right out of the Daz Poser models catalog) its lighted & set to look like EL LABERINTO DEL FAUNO
which makes the reviewers comments about tatum as resembling a muscular mister tumnus super funny
but while the OZ connection is right out there w the wachowskis talkin it up - & mila kunis playin one of the Wicked Witches across from the 1st SPIDERMAN movies Green Goblin Jr aka Harry Osbourne (get it-OSbourne = OZ another pune or play on words for director raimi tryin the name magic thing this time)
it doesnt make sense bc unlike what the wachowskis say its DOROTHY who learns & grows in her quest to fill the shoes of accidental heroic savior w deliberate actions out of her early “meekness” ALSO CALLED BACK TO IN THE OPENING OF ESPINAZO DEL DIABLO by facing a powerful tyrant & fighting to save her friends then insisting on true answers and honest dealing from another powerful leader
Ulysses on the other hand is only older & sadder when he gets home after losing all his crew to Poseidons revenge over them defeatin his son the cyclops -but still the same person when he left Ithaca
but it does confirm my belief that PACIFIC RIM is also TROY fixfic
as much as it like LABERINTO was VENDETTA & STAR WARS saga fixfic
bc the rly critical prior role for kunis
even more than as a witch misguided into villainy & greenness
by her evil sister
is as natalie portmans doppelganger in BLACK SWAN
if the direct ripoffs of multiple of Queen Amidalas costumes wasnt clue enf
still im glad to see im not the only one who saw the swan imagery in PACIFIC RIM & tied it all tog
even if the wachowskis are just mockin it all by makin THEIR princess a ttl helpless Damsel to be rescued by rugged white guys in a/ biology=destiny Chosen One pure Disneyfied fairy tale
theres a clincher in the use of the name Abrasax for the vampire royal family
if all the other stuff (plus more i havent even touched like celtic knot & neck tattoos & an Anglo-Russian lost princess w the name of the All-father NOT anastasia which = natasha & MEANS “reborn”, lost wings = ALLEGORY OF THE CHARIOT) wasnt enf
bc thats an old mediterranean gnostic name of the deity and-or an archangelic chimera guardian spirit
& ive been sayin for a long time that the del toro monomyth is Discworld AU or rather multiverse fanfic
but ive been sayin even longer that its neoplatonic gnostic heretical syncretist mystery-miracle plays w a slew of populist /humanist principles as grounding
vs the whole “born elite” destiny thing
which is true of pratchett as well
& its nice to have that confirmed w another salvo that also confirms my Wizards War w visual mirrors theory
guardian angels that are insect ppl lol sad thing is this COULD have been good if they hadnt tried to impose a reactionary narrative on it WE WANT OUR PRINCESSES TO BE THE HEROES TOO NOWDAYS!!!
cannot WAIT for CRIMSON PEAK to see the retort to this & 50 SHADES

And finally, an art, from one of my favorite movie ships, V and Evey with the traces of Shingo Araki! I really loved the movie, its story is really amazing ❤️
️
I don’t know about you, but V and Evey’s story reminds a lot of Jake and MC’s, the whole story of a girl and an unknown guy, and that’s really beautiful and amazing ❤️

The only remnant of 2021 I want aliens to find is the words “vaxx”, “variant” and “virus” badly Photoshopped onto a typography poster of the speech from ‘V For Vendetta”

remember when my mom and I went to see v for vendetta and on the car ride home I mentioned how fascinating I found the whole letter in the wall storyline and she said oh I’ve got a book you’ll like and got me all three volumes of the gulag archipelago and ten or so years later I got a bachelors degree in russian literature and came out in that exact order
Remember, remember.
