All of my favourite blorbos fit into the category of Fancy Little Sad Man

westworld continues the tradition of samurai films and westerns stealing from each other

how’s this for a timeline

• growing up, akira kurosawa is a huge fan of john ford westerns and comes to emulate a lot of his film techniques
• 1954: kurosawa makes seven samurai (starring toshiro mifune as kikuchiyo and takashi shimura as kambei shimada) and it has an ENORMOUS lasting impact on the film industry
• 1960: the magnificent seven is a blatant remake of seven samurai in an old west setting, and is an instant classic of the genre. it stars yul brynner as chris adams, who is analogous to the kambei shimada character. (four years later, a fistful of dollars will copy kurosawa’s yojimbo with even greater success)
• 1973: the original westworld movie comes out, ALSO starring yul brynner as a killer robot gunslinger who is essentially a caricature of the chris adams character he played in the magnificent seven. like the outfit is exactly the same
• 2016: hbo westworld expands on the movie’s basic concept. the iconic gunslinger character is reimagined as ed harris’ man in black
• 2018: season 2 of westworld introduces a park with an edo period theme that reuses many of the same plots and character archetypes as the wild west park, as a nod to the weirdly interconnected history of westerns and samurai films

202? Japanese remake of Westworld.

A sudden thought: Pearl has thought every single one of Rose Quartz’s boyfriends was exactly as boring and unnecessary as I have found every single one of Kira Nerys’ boyfriends.

Pearl and Odo would honestly get along so well.

oh God I don’t have it to hand but somebody drew Pearl as Odo and Amethyst as Quark and it was BANG ON

(quite besides the irony that Amethyst is as good of a shapeshifter as Odo whereas Pearl either can’t shapeshift to that extent or chooses not to)

also also

you know that episode where Kira gets to see the old Cardassian dossier on her from when she was a revolutionary/terrorist and is absolutely ENRAGED that they have her down as a minor figure who mostly runs errands for the important people?  I’m imagining Pearl getting to see Homeworld files on the rebellion and finding her entry is like that and having EXACTLY that reaction.

• Halloween is over

• Christmas is over
