“In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you”
it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

Watched Everything Everywhere All at Once and thought of Jing Yuan and Yanqing.
Your child(apprentice) is both too similar to you and nothing like you at all. You share a stubbornness and a refusal to follow your parents(mentors) that drives you crazy, yet they have a different sort of anger than you do. You will do anything to cling to the past and present while they want to charge into the future.
Meanwhile on Yanqing’s end, like Joy, there is the fact you just want your parent(mentor) to understand. You want to find the pieces of yourself in your parent(mentor) so they can see why. So they know why you think the way you do. You want to make them see your point of view so they will stop holding you back. You are angry, so angry, and the fact they don’t feel your anger only makes it hurt more. You want your parent(mentor) to both hold you tight and let you go, to give you guidance and let you figure things out for yourself. You want destruction and yet you also want them to heal you.
There is also the same ‘you never had the trauma I did so why are you so angry’ vibe. They refuse to listen to their child(apprentice) because what do they know? They think that the youth don’t know the same sort of suffering and anger they faced. That they don’t know the troubles of the world the same way, and they are both right and wrong. As much as their child(apprentice) will never suffer the same way they did that child(apprentice) has their own struggles and reasons to be angry and the accidental invalidation and pressure that the parent(mentor) passes on…
Sorry about the ramble but yeah
every time my bf says “for the time being” i respond with “for the time bean” and then we say “all hail the time bean” and carry on the conversation like nothing happened
also when her husband’s like “no matter what, in some universe i would’ve loved to just do laundry and taxes with you.” MURDERED ME…literally this is love, wanting to be with the person you love and want to be loved by no matter the circumstances?? and the fact that his compassion wasn’t a flaw but appreciated?? 😭😭
watched eeaao with my mom who left my dad for being too sensitive… an experience
also worst decision ever her takeaway was “oh thank god i’m not like that! i love you!” like… evelyn didn’t not love joy…

everything everywhere all at once murdered me with the in the mood for love references in the universe where she’s a martial artist, like strangled me and left me to choke on my own tears
