"i don't like old movies/tv because the dialogue patterns/acting style/beauty/sets are so fake" do you hate fun, huh? you hate camp?

its a month until my 16th birthday and im excited/scared/nervous

I'm probably in the minority with this but I wish the first 3 arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal were a two-part movie series (like they did with Eternal and Cosmos.).

This will probably make the Crystal fans seethe at the mouth bc God forbid anyone has an opinion different from them. But we probably would've avoided a lot of the embarrassing poor animation choices had they turned the material into two-part movies for each arc. They'd have more time to focus on the good bits that moved the story along. They'd have more time to also focus on the animation quality of the movies.

Maybe, as a result, they could've spent more time honing their character designs versus getting better after three FULL seasons of SMC.

Sorry not sorry, the designs in Eternal and Cosmos are way better than the poor attempts to copy Naoko's style that plagued the first 3 seasons of SMC.

timed binary pen study of a still from my very, very favourite movie, double indemnity. i have a bad habit of labouring over faces so i made a point to keep walter looking very, very loose

is it fair to call a character from a movie made 80 years ago cringe fail. i'm doing it. walter is cringe fail and i love that for him

Now that you've seen it, what did you think of the new Christmas Carol?

Well, I think my spamming of Scrooge says a lot about what I thought lol.

But seriously, I've read the actual book and watched several remakes and this one is definitely the best, and I'm not just saying that because of Scrooge's stellar design.

The ghosts had distinct designs and personalities, especially the ghost of Christmas past, she was so snarky, and each of them had unsettling moments that simply added to the atmosphere, making it much more in line with the novel.

Most of the songs were alright, nothing particularly stood out, and I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, except for 'Later never comes' that honestly had me in tears. The theme of lost opportunities and what could have been hit strong in this one.

As did the theme of breaking generational cycles, or rather, breaking the 'chains' of the past and that its never too late to change.

And of course Prudence was an excellent addition. After all, dogs give love to everyone without judgement. I was uncertain about it at first, but she grew on me for sure.

All in all, well worth watching!

Buggering fuck children I am BEGGING you to get an icon or a blog heading banner or SOMETHING to distinguish yourself from the bots. I almost blocked two new Actual People Followers because I thought y’all were bots until I noticed you had actual reblogs that made sense on your accounts (fortunately they loaded faster than I could click the block-and-report button because I was actively moving to hit it when I saw your posts!) and I already have blocked at least two others before I noticed but you look like bots and if you look like bots then people are going to instinctively block you like bots because we are in the middle of the Great Bot War of 2023 and if you are walking around dressed like the enemy we will block-and-report your asses before we notice you are not bots because YOU ARE DRESSED LIKE BOTS please PLEASE put on some Actual People Garb like an icon or something for fuck’s sake.

about Obscurials and pre-Hogwarts Harry

this is your daily reminder that Harry could never have been an Obscurial, not because That Woman hadn’t created/retconned in the idea yet, but because of the actual definition, which is “a child who knows about their magic and tries to suppress it”.

Ariana Dumbledore knew she was a witch from the time she was able to know things. She was actively and knowingly doing magic when she was attacked, and afterward she refused to use her gift and it turned inward.

Harry Potter knew that strange things happened around him, but he did not know that it was magic, because he didn’t think magic was even real. One of the first things he says to Hagrid after The Reveal is something along the lines of “this has to be a mistake, I can’t be a wizard”. He also wasn’t trying to “suppress” any of the things happening to him, because he didn’t know he was the one causing them to happen.

so yeah, there’s no viable “Dumbledore knew Harry could have become an Obscurial when he left him with the Dursleys and still left him there” argument, because Dumbledore didn’t know the Dursleys weren’t going to tell Harry about his magic or even treat him like a member of the family (see: my 12-hour long post about this shit last month, along with The Books).

yet another big argument Dumbledore-bashers have that falls apart when you actually adhere to the story lol

Saw op red film today and firstly, I enjoyed the movie, really did. Secondly tho, why do I feel there was so much, so much, potential lost?? Can I trust fanfiction will fix this?

Thinking about how fucking good the Spiderverse series is so far tonight like holy shit. The kind of incredible movies that make you believe in the magic of film again.

guess who is is so SO eepy from work? its this bun! ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১ im so happy im off tmrw so i can sleep in a lil bit!! ໒꒰ྀི∩˃ ᵕ ˂∩꒱ྀི১ i hope your saturday was so kind to you all <33 squeezin you!!

-randomly sees a screenshot of jamie and lily from the city of bones movie, where they seem to embody jace and clary, and am once again sad that we didn't get a city of ashes movie-

nothing quite like fixating on some technological bullshit to the point of Tears in the middle of the night to. Ruin your night!!!!!

bad season? walk it off

I remembered I loved making S&T videos and since I liked Miraculous the Movie and Russian dub of the songs, I decided to make it!

The song Stronger Together with Russian lyrics, romanization, and English translation made by me на коленке.

medical status: fell from a bicycle in the rain because i got scared of a car driving <30 kmph

i know it's been said a gazillion times and said more eloquently than me but god the amount of missed potential in the sequel trilogy. thinking about how anakin became a villain because he felt he had no other choice (and the tragedy being that he always had a choice, and his character arc concluding with him deciding to stand up for what's right by saving luke), meanwhile kylo grew up surrounded by a loving family full of positive role models and chose evil knowingly because he craved power for power's sake. kylo idolizing the tragic figure of darth vader all the while burning the world around him. there was so much you could do with that but instead they had to sacrifice rey's character to make the movies about her fixing the genocidal white boy who never wanted to be saved
