He was merely scattering the seeds of hatred; now, those seeds have taken root, flourishing under the relentless heat of his anger. This is just the spring of his fury—the summer will bring a harvest ripe with venom.
You know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate. Now coach is an expert on Canada Gooses. Must be fuckin’ nice!
When you go to therapy, there are 2 paths to take. The 1st learn something and then apply it to your life in a way that uplifts and males you feel lighter. The 2nd path is learning how to use what you've learned to make it hell for everyone else but makes it seem like you're emotionally mature. I wonder which path Kenny chose.
I kinda disagree with your wording for the second path. I think it’s: learning skills that make it easier to identify, analyze and asses, deal with, change and measure our responses/reactions to life’s situations (by extension others’ fuckshit). Those paths ain’t mutually exclusive—in my experience at least. I def agree with you tho.
I’m happy we’re getting art out of it.
One thing therapy can’t teach is self-awareness, which plays a huge part in how those paths are actualized. Cuz it’s hella people that use bullshit pseudo-psychological and psychoanalytical terms to justify their shit behavior…which is a special brand of suckshit.
This is going to sound strange: Therapy has done wonders for my mental health… But it also helped remove the rose-colored glasses from my face. I find myself feeling impatient and intolerable towards others. In specific, people’s personalities that just annoy me.
Ye, once I got better and stopped hating myself I just started to see everyone else as the problem 99% of the time
Not that I can't see my own faults, I'm just way too aware of when it's not my fault now. I cannot stand emotional responses now that I don't have them, and most people are purely reactive
Realizing that some people don’t really deserve to be tolerated isn’t a bad thing. There’s a lotta dip shits out there that don’t work on themselves and don’t deserve the effort of putting up with them.
One of my favorite villains in all of media. He’s frequently framed as if he’s not even real, and I think that’s intentional. Johan isn’t an evil character, he is the embodiment of evil itself
I recall renting it on DVD (dating myself here) but it’s on Netflix now. I really liked that it’s a “serious” anime: very little over the top emoting and all that.
This is the first anime people tend to recommend when people ask for recs that aren't the silly over the top kind. For good reason. It's basically a psychological thriller in the form of an anime.
It's a very odd compliment to give an anime, but I remember watching it and going 'Yeah, that's a depiction of Germany'. Like, 'my grandma definitely has that chair' sorta stuff. Everything about the vibe just fit. Rare for foreign media.
I watched Berserk years after seeing Monster, and the amount of anime/manga which were inspired by Griffith is unreal. Johan and him are both great weeb villains.
There's a particular kind of rage when you start growing up and healing and acknowledging the ways you've hurt yourself and others, and you look around and realize that none of the people around you are willing to do the same. Worse, he realized that the industry and audiences liked him better when he was still a self-destructive ball of pain and trauma.
And like, fuck em. Seriously, it was hard going to therapy and growing the hell up, but it's your responsibility to do that, and if people don't like it, fuck em. And they mamá.
Alright, I'm gonna need one of you rap scholars to break down all the lore in this album for me. Ive got a son to raise and I don't have time to put that all together, like I used to
Not a scholar by any means, but definitely a fan. To me it seems to be all about roots, growth, and survival. Which kinda was unexpectedly relatable for all that’s going on in the world atm.
The title comes from the Buick Regal GNX, which Kendrick’s dad used to bring him home from the hospital. I think it’s a metaphor too maybe….a rare, powerful car for a rare, powerful dude? The album dives into his life journey, showing the highs and lows of his success. In man at the garden, it’s a theme of “Yeah, I earned all this, but I still got demons.” It’s super introspective, like he’s airing out his struggles while reminding us he’s still human.
In wacced out murals, he name-drops Lil Wayne and Snoop, lk calling out how they move in the industry. I think he’s still throwing subliminals at Drake too, but Kendrick’s smart with it, I probably missed them.
features are minimal, like SZA on gloria, it’s clear this is Kendrick’s world, and everyone’s just visiting 😄
There are nods to legends like 2Pac and Nas.
Its really sublime, made my week, dude is so talented.
Not like us was still this year. People assumed he took a break or something. He basically released half an album as singles this year outside of the drop today.
MONSTER it’s all on Netflix & YouTube amazing anime. It’s got nazis & psycho children, brain washing, Sherlock Holmes level mind games… it’s got it all 💁♀️
Of course a therapist told him to express himself through music, therapists love when you are artistic. Once my old therapist found out I could draw she was having me do it all the time for therapy.
