  • That ending hits hard. I don’t know what the exact rules of “anything he wants” are, but it feels like this one wish, making everything the way it used to be, isn’t possible. Maybe it’s possible and just not revealed, but the heaviness of that scene makes me think it’s not (or it’s like one person in the comments says and the story is a permanent loop).

    I really like how they fit the complexity of human relationships in a 10-minute film. Being best friends in school but then losing touch (at 4:08, Oktana implies that he hasn’t seen Poteto in four years, which is related to Poteto’s illness, I think?), the feeling of being “replaced” with other people (like Oktana’s friend / partner?), and the overwhelming pain of loss that Poteto feels despite his powers at the end. Of course, there’s plenty of silliness (“I’m destroying the world because he called my ears goofy”), but beyond that silliness, there’s raw, human emotion that isn’t always rational, like Poteto’s destructive behaviour when he realises that his best friend has a “new” life. I wasn’t really sure what was going on during the first half of this film, but the ending pulls it together very nicely.

    Very cool, and the sunrays are very pretty :3

    I joined Lemmy a bit over a year ago, after the API thing on reddit, and I really like that the communities here feel a bit more personal and that I recognise a lot of names. There are big communities that are just as anonymous as on reddit, but at least the ones I’m in are like that. So yeah, doing very fine uwu. And you?













  • I’ve got a fact! In the early 1950s, Germany was already divided into East and West Germany, and Berlin was, too, but it was still possible to travel between the two countries. East and West Berlin each had their own tram company (BVG East and BVG West), and all lines that crossed the border were shared by the two companies. If a BVG West tram made its way to East Berlin, it had to adhere to the local laws there, obviously, and BVG East trams had to adhere to West Berlin laws when they were there. This caused an issue in 1953. In East Berlin, women were allowed to drive trams, but in West Berlin, they weren’t. West Berlin started rejecting BVG East trams driven by women, and all passengers had to change to BVG West trams at the border. This is one of the reasons why, beginning in 1953, East and West Berlin both ended their tram lines at the border.
