a friendly reminder that dystopia is not written about a future bad world but about the one we live in now
#seeing ppl Shocked that the hunger games parallels us#when it’s literally american / world history told with silly names and fun costumes#not meant to be derogatory#i’m so glad thg has made it to many school reading lists#the hunger games#thg#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#suzanne collins#dystopia#ya dystopia#watching all 4 movies i just had the thoughts#‘this happened yday when X’#‘this happened a few years ago when Y’#100#200

Made a faintly insane list of of every animated movie I have good enough memories of to feel confident ranking, although some of them I would probably move around if I saw them more recently....
#Apparently “It's Such a Beautiful Day” is my favorite American Animated Movie which is not something i REALIZED before I made this...#movies i haven't seen since i was a little kid aren't on here which excludes a lot of Disney Classics. I have seen more animovies than this#i made up the word animovies to fit that sentence in that tag#also i watched all of the nge reboot movies but it was several years ago and I genuinely do not remember anything that happened in them#i remember not liking them compared to the tone of the series or original movie or thinking they contributed much#despite ostensibly fleshing out the world more#the lower you go on this list the more deranged it looks#i am not actually a big Pixar stan or anything. i do feel like this list makes LUCA being my highest ranked Pixar movie make sense tho..#like. contextualizes that choice by laying bare my Proclivities#i have not watched as much complete and utter dogshit slop as Emily#i DID make her watch Igor (2008) tho it was like... not actually terrible but i went in with my expectations on the ground#i made this list when we were watching strange world and strange world didn't end up on this list on account of me not actually paying#enough attention on account of the deep thought i was putting into this instead#texting#off topic#I have not been having an easy time doing creative things so you get movie and book opinions#i feel vaguely apologetic for some of the choices in this. but not really. It's ranked 100% by how much i enjoyed it there is no pretense o#objectivity

the specific nosferatu plot point in which helen prays for a guardian angel and instead gets a weird undead sex freak who's obsessed with her literally unironically happened to me
#i cant stop thinking about this#nosferatu#im not tagging this for spoilers the original movie came out over 100 years ago

Honestly who is even the target audience for this zelda movie. If it was for kids they would've made it an animation probably, and obviously they want it to reach wider audiences than just people who are already fans of the games, but like. This is a fantasy video game movie full of magic and weird and silly looking creatures, I can't help but feel like that would be off-putting to a lot of people who would think it's silly (which it will be probably. God I just know they're gonna make Link be like super sarcastic and have a bunch of one liners I can't do this)
im gonna be real i think the target audience is mcu fans
#people who dont care if the story is shit and the movie is full of cgi. people who will watch anything if it has their white man in it#you know what im saying? like i think we on tumblr forget that there's actually a really wide demographic in the US that is#'guy who wants to watch a poorly written movie that is 90% cgi simply because it has his favorite comic book character in it'#and im 100% sure that's the demographic nintendo is trying to appeal to here.#i think they probably still think their market research from 20 years ago is accurate and that the kind of person playing these games#is a white man who doesn't care about story and just wants to hit things with a sword. and that's who this movie is being marketed to#asks

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk
#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard*#I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details#of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point#but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag#of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there#are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance#but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly#doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. )#the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead#of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like#you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image#or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i#wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol)#hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe#I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing#that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc#eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that#this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently#wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj#Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU#CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!! THEY DONT EXIST!!! THE EYELETS DONT EVEN LINE UP THE SHOES DONT EVEN#MATCH THE PATTERNS ARE GIBBERISH!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie*#Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol#I think moreso the lacking of context? Like for example I find the enneagram interesting but I nearly ALWAYS preface any talking about it#with ''and I know this is not scientifically accurate it's just an interesting system humans invented to classify ourselve and our traits#and I find it sociologically fascinating the same way I find religion fascinating'. If someone presented personality typing information wit#out that sort of context or was purporting that enneagram types are like 100% solid scientific truth and people should be classified by the#unquestionaingly in daily life or something then.. yeah fuck that. If these images had like disclaimers BIG in the image description somewh#re like 'this is not a real thing it's just an AI generated image I made up' then fine. I still largely disagree with the ethics behind AI#art but at least it's informed. It's the fact that people just post images w/o context or beleive a falsehood about it.. then its aAAAAAA

argh can i be a hater about the minecraft movie actually…….
#ik everyone says this but i do wish it took place within the context of minecraft similar to how mcsm did it#<- most of the fun is looking at how minecraft mechanics are adapted into the worldbuilding#i think having it be like ‘real person wakes up in minecraft’ limits that a bit#arggh its difficult because like#i feel like they 100% wanted to do something different from what mcsm did with the concept#which is understandable#but also is this really the best direction they couldve gone?#i dunnooo………….. =_=#<- the one thing i will stand on though is that it really shouldve been animated . i know that everyone says this but its true! it has the u#ncanniness of those Minecraft in Real Life videos that were popular a few years ago#which again makes me go like ‘is this really the best direction they couldve gone? surely not right???’#txt#anyways that concludes me being a bit of a hater LOL#lets hope that its just terrible marketing on the companys part and the movie is actually peak

I watched the movie Ponyo and I have some stuff to say about it
1: I loved it, of course I did, the 3rd or 4th frame of the movie is this, I was doomed immediately:
2:
3: I have finally seen myself represented in fiction
and it's this evil (ish) underwater sorcerer who wants to end the revolting age of man and bring about the age of the ocean
(but like, not yet. soon though.)
same, dude. I'd vote for you.
look at him. just look at him. he's everything I want to be.
literally how dare you. everything out of his mouth is the most epic shit I've ever heard.
this is my future and I dare any of you to tell me otherwise
#ponyo#ang liveblogs#cannot believe I listened to the internet commenter years ago who said this movie is incoherent and weird#so wrong. so dead wrong. this movie is a masterpiece and makes 100% sense#the only part that missed for me is that an entire town flooding that bad would not be whimsical in any way#but I give it a pass because kid's movie#I wish your entire town being underwater after a storm was that fun & calm#I'm willing to live in the fantasy because the animation is pretty

On February 8th, 1925, the first major film featuring dinosaurs was presented to the public for the first time. The Lost World, an adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel of the same name, featured the stop-motion saurians of Willis O’Brian (who’d later work on King Kong) who pioneered special effects in cinematography. The animals seen in the film, while outdated anatomically, move rather dynamically: running around, gruesomely attacking each other to the bewilderment and excitement of 1920s audiences. To this day, The Lost World has some of the most adaptations of any dinosaur media.

Here, the ceratopsian ‘Agathaumas’ is pitted against the theropod Allosaurus. 'Agathaumas' itself is a dubious genus, described from ceratopsian remains in Wyoming, 1872, that most likely belonged to Triceratops. Though neither animal coexisted, The Lost World accurately predicted Allosaurus as having beef with everything it shared an environment with.

In my fic, Jace really is a mix of eldest and youngest sibling while still firmly being the middle child of his family. He loves his older brother and little sister so much and admires them for all that they are but god damn do they stress him tf out too.
Jace Family ramblings under the cut
Jasper is the wizard that Jace always wanted to be and looks up to. He’s well-read, confident, worldly, and unfortunately the black sheep of the family because his magic never came innately to him like Jace’s did.
When Jasper was 18 and Jace was 16, he immediately left on what pretty much became a life long adventure with his party. They haven’t see each other in person since then. It’s been give or take 30-ish years.
They talk on their crystals whenever Jasper is somewhere that has service but it can go months or longer before Jace hears back. When they do talk it’s like they never stopped.
Jasper and his partner, Melanie, are married and still actively adventuring with their same party. They want kids, but they also don’t wanna put down roots quite yet. Jace misses him a ton but part of him is still upset he never came back for their dad’s funeral. Jace had to put his life on pause to make the funeral and end of life arrangements for their dad on his own. He had to grieve on his own as well.
They didn’t have crystals when it happened but Jace did manage to get the message out there, Jasper just didn’t respond. He did bring it up much later, well after their dad was in the ground. It still doesn’t sit right with Jace, but he loves his brother.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07d3801c23a7f9536feb62978e3679fb/b7ab56015a4a49a1-77/s540x810/90f46577fdc74c92465c70492cc1d6774d9b2135.jpg)
~
Talariel is about half Jace’s age and an absolute whirlwind. After their mother divorced Jace’s bio dad, she remarried and they eventually had Tala. She’s high-elven like their mother and Jace’s stepdad so she has all the usual FH high elf quirks to her and then some to account for the general weird vibe nepo babies tend to have.
During college she lived with Jace for a couple years in his shitty downtown apartment. By the time she moved out she surprised him with the keys to a new place closer to Aguefort (fully furnished in the way Jace would love with just a few unfurnished rooms for him to get creative with.)
She may be a sorcerer, but she’s a rogue and a bard at heart (idk if the multi-class math works out and I’m not gonna check okay, she has poetry and sneakery in her heart!)
If there’s gossip that needs to be found out or secrets to uncover she’ll find them. So when she hears about Aguefort being the epicenter of an apocalypse- ‘the gross little degenerate school’ her brother teaches at, she has to know more and lo and behold her dear brother is involved. She immediately gives him shit for it over text. It’s all in good fun until she realizes something is very wrong.
When Jace tells her he was killed, she plays it off for him, but it doesn’t sit well with her. If she ever meets Porter, it won’t end well for him. She may be eccentric, but she is deadly. Maybe a lil evil too 🤷🏾 she has a long life ahead of her and if there’s something she wants to do, she’ll do it if it’s fun.

Jasper and Talariel Stardiamond y’all will always be famous to me~
#jasper is like every cool older brother in 80s/90s movies and talariel is- girlies is a little unhinged#and both of them would kill and maim for their brother Jace#fun fact: they all have their mother’s last name#idk if any of the specific will show up so I’m dumping them here#this is still 100% about Jace and Porter but Jace has shit going in and a family to mend things with#they’ve got opinions on just how involved he might have been 👀#Jasper is very goody two shoes coded so he would have concerns if he heard about what went down at Aguefort at all#Jace sure as hell won’t tell him bc Jasper will get that ‘not mad just disappointed’ look on his face that reminds Jace a little too much#of their dad#Jace misses his dad so much#tala 100% told Jasper and Jasper didn’t wanna believe it until she sent him screenshots#he’s like?? not little jace? bc he can’t see Jace as anything more than the 16 year old he left all those years ago#like him and Jace talk and it’s comfortable but more him talking and Jace listening and then not providing much detail about what his life#looks like#jace stardiamond#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#starbreaker#blewbs fic tag#jace 💫💎#port 🛥️

#so uh... what does it say about me when whenever a guy texts me and wants to hang out one on one i get lowkey panicky#i fully blame my last relationship that one. like it started with the guy flirting a lot and me very much not catching on until he told me#that he is into me and then it sorta went downhill from there and now im like... well if you wanna hang out one on one it could be fully#platonic but i also know i have no way of figuring that out cause im dense about these things#and the guy in question rn is so annoying cause half a year ago? i wouldve gone out with him no questions asked he was in a realtionship#but now he broke up with his partner of almost three years and im just... okay. and he broke up with them at the end of september and#didnt tell me (accidentally. we did not talk much and other friends corroborated that he just didnt realize he never told us. dumbass)#and like... okay hes been insistent on me finally visiting him (something that i started initially as a joke) and he asked me to#hang out twice so far. he never did that before and im just like... sir do you have a motif or not? whats your thing? sir?#and he sjust the latest case :/// always with a dude its either i know hes into someone else or in a relationship. tho its also only#with cishet guys so i fully fucking blame my ex cause no other gender or sexuality annoys me like that. like unless its a cishet man#i will always say yes to hanging out one on one immediately 100% and its just... annoying. i want to go out with my guy friends without#this fear#anyway in other news im going with the guy above to the movies on tuesday. he is a cinephile tho so movies is his go to hangout#also the annoying bit about this guy is that i am lowkey into him and ive been on record to other people saying that i would go out#with him. if he did not date my friend. who he broke up with. and its just... yeah. yeah.#also the friend is a history student and we both wanna stay in academia. and we would probably cross paths so just :///#hoping this guy specifically is fully platonic and that this eventually gets fixed cause help :///#delete later#im just super annoyed this has been happening more and more

My current (possibly) brainrotting habit rn is making bots on character ai.
#character ai#it started out as a curiosity thing#I just wanted to see if the ai would remember some the little character nuances that I would write into the definition portion#it is surprising good#it’s not 100% there but it does the job#I made one of my OC’s for a story I’ve been outlining#I made one for Norman bates because I had about of feelings about him in that movie#and I made him the perfect sad boi#I can fix him#I’m thinking about making a bot for Jack from bioshock based on a fanfic I wrote YEARS ago#I may make a bot masterlist if I make more#psycho 1960#bioshock#jack wynand
