Random happy Pacific Rim thought:

I love how the movie is explicit that you can be drift compatible with more than one person. I’m sure Raleigh and Mako fight very differently than Raleigh and Yancy. And there’s no hierarchy, really—I mean, Yancy’s death had nothing to do with their drift compatibility or lack thereof or them not being a sensational team. There are different relationships in your life that, when the two (or three, canonically, and probably even more) of you are together you create and accomplish so much. Drift compatibility is not one true love. It is not necessarily platonic or familial or romantic. It’s about creative energy between people. That’s really kind of awesome now that I think about it.

my opinions on racism will always be limited as I’m from a position of white privilege, so whilst it’s so important to call out racial inequality and oppression when I see it, it’s also important for me to recognise that my voice should not shout over those who have actually experienced racism and have a far better understanding of how it operates then I ever will

I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:

1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear.  ”She said she doesn’t want to talk to me?  So many mixed messages and confusing signals!”

2) Women not having cheat codes.  ”I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me.  I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me.  Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”

3) Women not being a hive mind.  ”First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles.  Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all.  Make up your mind, women!”

4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”

I hate small talk. I want to talk about atoms, death, aliens, sex, magic, intellect, the meaning of life, faraway galaxies, music that makes you feel different, memories, the lies you’ve told, your flaws, your favourite scents, your childhood, what keeps you up at night, your insecurities and fears. I like people with depth, who speak with emotion from a twisted mind.
