this isnt to persuade to watch more opla, but i just wanted to let you know that they do clarify what they mean by "good". and i thought id share that bit with you since it was one of your compliants and you dont plan on watching more. also, since it is garp who clarifies what "good" is then it is implied luffy grew up with that being his definition of "good" too. i doubt it qualifies as a "retcon" since it happened in the same season, but still (garp @ kody and helmeppo: "following orders does not make you a good marine. it's following your code. all men have their own brand of justice, and you both followed yours, so well done.") that was my interpretation of their insistentence on "being good" anyway
right now it seems that it's shanks's influence "a man has to be good" (btw rest in peace to the "yeah luffy cool knife now do something stupid ha ha" shanks) that's the main driving force behind luffy's insistence that he's a good guy. and i feel like... it just... it's making luffy seem so blaaaand 😩 like when nami says "all pirates are bad" wouldn't luffy shrug and say something like "ok! believe whatever u want, i don't really care" (and then a tertiary character like zoro would say to nami "watch what he does next" implying the subtext in this scene is actions are louder than words)
it makes sense for garp to say that to koby and helmeppo! but there's also an interesting obscurity that's lost when characters say out loud what they are within the narrative. luffy is of course a good person, but him saying it multiple times to different people does something weird to his character. to me
the antihero isn't a new trope (and luffy is barely an antihero) and i think the average netflix viewer can read between the lines. i wish the showrunners could've trusted our media literacy more

HEY, A REALLY GOOD FRIEND ASKED ME TO SHARE THIS! We've worked together on a lot of films and projects and now their cousin is trying to fund their own film!
"My name is Rez Redacted, I am a queer transmasc Filipino filmmaker in the Seattle area and have little to no representation of myself in the stories I would watch on the big screen, so for this project, I'm taking it upon myself to give Filipinos like me a chance to see ourselves completely. This includes having a full Filipino main principle cast and attempting to have the best 2010s realism with miniDV footage. Of course, like any broke college kid in this country, I just need help funding this big gay dream."
I'd super love if anyone has any spare dollars to throw at this project. I can 100% vouch for it. It's only got FIVE DAYS LEFT as of February 25th, 2024! If you can't donate, I'd really love a share. Please help support southeast asian filmmakers!

Welcome!
Tumblr media
Hello, visitor! My name is Ronni August. I am a screenwriter and filmmaker from Chicago.
Blog-wise, I sometimes reblog nice photos, art, and maybe a quote once in awhile. But, I've started to post weekly guides about screenwriting, so I want to introduce myself!
About Me
My professionally produced work is lacking, but I have a few shorts to show for my efforts. My favorite being The Fear of Finding Something Worse, which is a short I wrote, directed, and shot in 2019. It had a great festival run!
Otherwise, I’m a intermediately practiced writer. I’ve written a Euphoria spec that was excellently received and I’ve completed a few features and 60-minute show pilots (none of which I have even begun attempting to option). I also have a BFA in Cinema Screenwriting.
Although I am a writer by trade, I've also edited. A lot. I've actually been editing longer than I have been writing, as this year marks a decade since I started (eight years since I began screenwriting). I won best editor for the film It Only Hurts When I Laugh and have won many miscellaneous awards for the above-mentioned TFOFSW.
Hopefully my posts can be of assistance to your writing! My main goal with them is, honestly, to explore my own ideas and force myself to prove that what I believe works (or that it doesn’t). I would also like to start a Screenwriting class in the future in horizontal live stream format. Don't quite know about that, yet.
Thanks for reading + welcome to the blog ❤︎
[♤]
P.S. I am dyslexic. Sometimes I spell words wrong. That doesn't make me a bad writer, I promise I spell-check everything I do.
P.P.S. I sometimes Blaze™️ my screenwriting blog posts. I know that’s probably not popular, but I’m learning the Tumblr algorithm so bear with me even thought it’s cringe. I haven’t been active on here since 2018/2019.

I posted this as a response to another puppetry post on my other blog, but wanted to post it here too:
Be the puppetry you want to see in the world! There's so much puppetry work out there for you to discover. If we want people to bring puppetry into the forefront we gotta support the art that's already out there!
Stop motion puppetry is getting a massive resurgence right now by filmmakers and directors, and live puppetry is likely in a city near you! Check out your local guild:
Check out a Puppet Slam, unique puppetry made primarily for adult audiences:
If you ever feel yourself thinking "I wish this artform was more popular" don't despair, it's out there and you can support the artists making it, and you can MAKE IT YOURSELF!
https://puppetnerd.com/
GO FORTH! BE THE PUPPETRY YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
IN ADDITION!
If you want to dive into puppetry and study it YOU CAN!
There's so much more to puppetry than muppets! Dive in!
can we as a society make puppetry cool again. like lets make it trendy. Mainstream. more people should get into doing it and more people should appreciate it. puppetry requires craftsmanship and charisma and physical acting and vocal performance!! you can’t get that from ai. it has a charm to it that neither 2D nor cg animation has. Have you ever watched a puppetry performance and realized you were genuinely convinced that the puppet was getting into bed or eating something or giving a hug that you wholly forgot there was some guy’s arm in there.
isn’t it lovely. to make a funny little guy to tell stories with. is that not so human of us. it’s such a lovely art form. I love you puppets I love you muppets I love you marionettes I love you handmade sock puppets I love you paper bags with googley eyes I love you armatures I love you I love you I love you!!!!!

Hermann Lederle
Critically admired german artist Hermann Lederle is most prominent for his PIXEL and BLOTS painting and more recent ADAPTATION series. His works have shown in numerous exhibitions around the world, and his artistic production is particularly unique and recognizable. Although initially the impression is abstract, Lederle's works feature geometric elements that compose, as a whole, figurative elements, bringing to mind that of the abstract expressionists.
Los Angeles artist Hermann Lederle is known for his innovative BEAUTIFUL CHAOS abstract canvas scapes and unique BREAKAWAY layered PIXEL painting. Blurring the boundaries between paint-scape and landscape reality, and between the paint and its intended object, the work combines geometric abstraction and pure color concept to explore a new ethereal thematic. Through a PILLING of dotted lines and multitude of hyper-glow colors - as if the artist intends to assault the surface with micro-nuclear forces, Lederle constructs a next generation art-scape.
Upon graduating from Karl Friedrich School Mannheim for humanist and classic studies in Germany, Lederle re-directed his career path. His early apprenticeship training in photography inspired him to seek a formal continued education in the Fine Arts, namely filmmaking and painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. San Francisco became his new residency for the next years until graduating with a BFA, followed by five years establishing himself as a painter in the thriving arts district of Tribeca in downtown New York City. It was there, Lederle began to formulate his own visual language to express his concepts and ideas through the lens, on canvas and on the film screen. Exemplifying the artist’s interest in the interaction between art and film and creating an additional link to 21st century web based digital art, Lederle's painting strives to wipe clean the slate of conventional notions of image construction.
Lederle's PIXEL series, first shown at Media Rare Gallery in Hollywood  suggests a kind of Cubism for the digital age. His work as a filmmaker cross-pollinates in subtle, oblique ways. The idea of pixel paintings originated when working with digital images. “It was a discovery. We may have been seeing this way unconsciously since human beings had eyes, but now that we know we can zoom in on something, and then zoom out and see the whole picture, it becomes an awareness we can use to appreciate the pixilated version. Kind of like a primal, pre-conscious experience that relates to the era of technology."
Lederle's FOOTPRINTS ON SNOW series entails a two stage process, where a graduated color is applied with a tractional brush allowing for the distinct qualities of its stroke to emerge. The second stage is executed with a painter's knife often with ostensibly contradictory linear shapes and lines, imbuing it with the properties of rival perceptions, irreversible  like footprints, taking place within the canvases.
More recently, in his so-called ADAPTATION series, those vertical bands consist of the vivid and expressionistic decades-old paintings that Lederle has painstakingly hand-cut and then collaged onto the canvas, leaving just enough space for original marks to show through as interstices of the canvas. Punctuated with a stop and go rhythm, the work reigns in the artist’s prior unbidden flourishes and lays bare the source of artistic inspiration, simultaneously suggesting themes of evolution as they relate to Lederle's own practice and reflections on art history.
His latest works in submission on the occasion of IN SPRING Exhibition 2024, recall the BLOTS-pointillism of the neoimpressionists. When purposely set against a SCHIENA SCURA - dark FOAM bubbles, the painting is calling out a messy, un-ordered free floating imagery of some scenery not quite in focus and frozen in a still frame, although its kinetic forces relentlessly pushing up against its limits. The experimental composition of primal shapes and lines striving for a creative expression of artificial, nearly molecular spaces in another dimension and direction. These images take time to absorb, asking you to invest and trust, not speed through in a frenzy. A new-dimensional structure slowly emerges transcending past traditional geometrics.
Hermann Lederle's work has been exhibited in the United States in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Canada, Germany, Italy, France and Hungary. A body of his work is in consignment at galleries, including DSV Kunstkontor Stuttgart, HPH Siebdruck Echterdingen Germany, Media Rare Gallery Los Angeles, Court Gallery New York, Lawson Galleries San Francisco, Friedman Guinness Gallery Heidelberg, and in private collections of Ringo Starr, Eric Stolz, Cal Zecca, Gabor Csupo.
Lederle lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Previous notable exhibitions took place at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery ANDRENOCHROMO FOR DINNER Milan Italy 2022, ART KARLSRUHE HPH Special Serigraph Exhibition Germany 2020, Silverman Studio Hollywood 2017, Vertiva Stuttgart Germany 2015, Arthea Galerie Mannheim Germany 2015, Frank Pictures Gallery Santa Monica 2012, Solaris Gallery Los Angeles 2005, FP Gallery Los Angeles 2005, Media Rare Gallery Hollywood 2001, Lawson Galleries San Francisco 1987 and Court Gallery New York City 1986.
