cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (interrupted)
we saw "v" for vendetta while we were in town today. i enjoyed it a lot. and watching it made me want to write about themes and narratives and relate it to the phantom of the opera and to various descent myths, but i feel i'm not really intelligent enough at the moment. or at least i haven't thought about it for long enough. when i try to relate phantom by itself to descent myths, i end up trailing off or babbling pretty quickly. really, descent myths do that by themselves. it seems odd to be a fangirl of a particular kind of myth, but i suppose the world takes all kinds. and besides, i've been a fangirl of weirder things. shut up, wax. we also bought a bunch of little odds and ends including this nivea moisturizer that comes in a pot and it is so soft, it's like whipped butter. and it feels soooooo good. x.x

and of course there is obligatory prince of tennis content. i watched the first akutsu arc today, and okay, i find akutsu himself kind of tiresome (except for his baby!self), but there were other things, so here is my tezuka and ryoma squee from episodes 45 through 48. in devil on the court! ) and THEN in samurai spirit... ) and, ahah, in decisive moment... . )

there. now i am going to read "v" for vendetta in 15 minutes. eta: wax just walked by my chair and saw the ficlet in progress where fuji mysteriously appears in ryoma's kitchen. "are you writing prince of tennis?" "uh. i already did," i pointed out. "oh." "you must have missed when i posted it." "oh."

phantom of the opera, beauty & the beast, and east of the sun west of the moon )

v for vendetta and all of the above )

i'd love to write (or read) a lot more on this subject. this cluster of myths and folktales comprises my absolute favourite themes and narratives.
