absolutely fucking losing it over the editors choosing to put finn sayingĀ āi didnāt even think about [richieās sexuality] when we were shooting it until afterā over footage of the arcade scene (vid credit)
ok reblogging this bc some of the stuff in the notes is like, probably comedic, but i saw an ask earlier likeĀ ādo you think finn is homophobicā so like, in case itās not and ppl are genuinely like ?! rn, i answered an ask in more detail hereĀ (where i have no patience for adults who yell at finn lmao) but general thrust is! i put this here bc i thought the editing choice was funny in terms of irony which is like, on the editors lmao, and doesnāt reflect on finn, and i talk in the ask a little abt the limitations of what can be said in interviews, but honestly i think he deliberately tried to like. pay respect to how harrowing homophobia is to experience by sayingĀ āit was a challenging thing to even act throughā¦ iāve never gone through some of the things some people haveā which like. especially in the context of this being a film that opened with a violent act of homophobia? is actually fairly cognisant for a teenager, esp one whose voice always gets weighted far beyond his own control](https://pics.ballmemes.com/bree-billdenbrough-billdenbrough-absolutely-fucking-losing-it-over-the-editors-65659813.png)

Pigeon steals poppies from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Australian War Memorial, Canberra, Australia in order to build a nest beside a stained glass window.
@birdblogwhichisforbirds
@snitling EXACTLY
This is two pigeons, pigeons nest in bonded pairs (notice the first one is checked and its mate on the nest is barred). Usually they donāt make nests nearly so big but I guess if you have the materials, go for it.
The nest is so unusually big because the vast majority is a platform to keep the actual nest (just that tiny ring in the corner around the bird sitting in it) cushioned from the anti bird spikes.
This is a work of beautiful defiance.
Using the very thing installed to make just a momentās rest impossible as structural supports for an immovably stable nursery.
The symbolism achieved by these pigeons is better than some writers can hope for and I love it!
From the nest on the bird repellent spikes to the fact that those spikes are along the stained glass windows of a church, a place associated with sanctuary and compassion. The fact that the nest is made of stolen poppies for remembrance day hits the hardest though. Of the 54 animals to be awarded the Dickin Medal for acts of gallantry during WW2, 32 of them were pigeons. These were messengers who flew through battlefields and across borders, many of whom were killed or severely injured by enemy forces including gunfire and trained falcons. Many of their achievements saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers, and yet now their descendants are faces with anti-bird spikes, shooting and poisoning in an attempt to rid the cities from the rats with wings. I love this picture because it feels like theyāre taking back just a little bit of that credit owed to them.Ā
Reblogging for this beautiful addition.
[ID: three colour photographs. The first shows a pigeon holding a fake poppy in its teeth, standing on a marble surface. The second shows a nest made of hundreds of fake poppies, cushioning a sitting pigeon from the anti-bird spikes below. The final photo is a zoomed-out picture of the nest, showing many stained glass windows surrounding it.]](https://pics.ballmemes.com/goosegoblin-theramseyloft-jurassicjenday-theramseyloft-tinysaurus-rex-iwilltrytobereasonable-cant-hug-every-human-thedeadofflandersfields-pige-65578270.png)
