Every single Brawl Stars character as songs

So, I was unhappy with my prior posts on this topic, both because of the song choices I made and because I didn't properly credit the musicians behind them. Ergo, I'm going to compile all of the brawlers into a single list below the cut, and then update and reblog this post each time a new brawler is released.

Feedback regarding song choices is encouraged if you think you have a better fit for a character.

[askthesupersisters]

What kind of training or exercise do you guys do?

"It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I don't really do anything specific for training, eheheh..."

"Nicky does try dragging us into her workouts, but that works about as well as you'd expect."

"You dying on the floor?"

"... If you'd like to call it that, I suppose. It's... not inaccurate, to say the least...

"I do lift weights regularly now, though, seeing that my power does require a bit of physical strength."

"As far as I know, Paulina trains, like actually trains. Probably because her power is so...."

"Complicated?"

"Yeah... I wouldn't want her power if I were me."

--------

"Oh, exercises? Well, besides the training I already do, I end up... reading a lot. Botany, mostly. Knowing what plant species I'll be dealing with in certain places does help, and anyway, it helps with my ecology major and my work with Green Mice, so win-win!

"Hot take, but if anyone would not be needing any training besides like, gliding, it'd be Colette. Her power is basically the Fus Ro Dah from Skyrim! You don't need training to punt something five meters away from you, let's be real!"

"N-Nicky I don't know what that means..."

"Don't worry about it, you'll be fiiiinnneeee!"

--------

"My power's very flashy and destructive so uh, I don't really have a lot of places to practice in tiny Whale Island. One thing I do try is uh, fine motor control with my fire? Shooting fire in beams instead of in blasts like you'd expect with flashy fire powers? Mostly wind up training in the garage, but stuff gets really hot really quickly in there."

"You should be careful doing that, Pam. You never know if someone will walk in on you at the wrong time."

"Yeah, that's why I deactivate the suit once things get hot enough for me to have to open the garage doors."

--------

"Besides Nicky, I think I'm the one training with my suit the most often. Usually for about a couple minutes each day because any longer than ten minutes gives me a headache. It's... not an easy power to work with."

National Museum of Women in the Arts

Online Art Exhibition: Wanderer/Wonderer: Pop-ups by Colette Fu

Collette Fu crafts enormous pop-up books that are so detailed—they resemble mazes—that illustrate myths and legends and shed light on lesser-known cultures. 

First Picture:

This is a picture of Collette Fu creating her art piece.

Second Picture:

Title: Dai Food from the "We Are Tiger Dragon People" collection.

Concept: The Dai people, an ethnic minority in China's Yunnan Province, are acknowledged in this work. The photographer documented the area and its residents for three years. These pieces served as inspiration for this artwork.

Presentation: This book is about 60 pounds, it consists of ultra-chrome pigment ink, and Epson-enhanced matte paper mounted onto a cougar. The book has a smooth cover paper made up of black iris cloth. Its dimensions are 17x25x10.5 in. Featured in this piece in the Dai people's cultural foods. There is a young Dai woman who is cooking, she has her hair up and is decorated with flowers, she is wearing cultural attire and has an apron around the waist. I can pick out foods like kebabs, a pig`s head, grilled chicken, beef with red peppers, and spicy noodles. I also can see a type of leaf that is used to wrap food. This art piece incorporates a variety of colors and shapes.

I am quite the foodie. I think many of us who live in America and are not Chinese have this image of what "Chinese food" is. But just like many cultures, there is a variety of dishes. What I love about this artwork and find most fascinating about it is the 3D effect, the dishes look as if I could hold them.

Third Picture:

Title: Robin Museum (from Haunted Philadelphia), 2005-2006

Concept:

"Fu found inspiration for this book in the tragic story of young lovers who met secretly in the garden of Philadelphia`s Robin Museum. After the young woman`s family sent her away to try to break up the romance, she returned home to discover that her beau had been killed in the Vietnam war. Devasted, she went alone to the museum, found it locked, and was killed by a car as she dashed across the busy Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Fu associated this story with the unhappy love affair between French sculptor Camille Claudel (1864-1943) and Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), her mentor." (“Wanderer/Wonderer: Pop-Ups by Colette Fu | Online Exhibition”)

Presentation: This book is about 60 pounds, it consists of ultra-chrome pigment ink, and Epson-enhanced matte paper mounted onto a cougar. It has a smooth cover that is held by glue and Chinese joss paper with newspapers. Its dimensions are 53x36x21 in. Featured in this piece is Fu`s spin on the Robin Museums garden. We see fall leaves all around, and trees in the background that surround the centerpiece. Within the trees, sculptors are sticking out. These sculptors are pieces of Robin and Claudel`s work. In the center is a sculpture of a man and woman, representing Robin and Claudel.

This piece is very different from the second picture. The Dai food is colorful, and fun and creates a lively vibe. But in this art piece, there is a type of gloomyness and sorrowful attitude.

I don`t want to take away from you exploring these pieces yourself. Other artworks were presented in this art exhibition, I encourage you to check them out as well and learn of the stories that brought them together.

Fourth Picture:

Title: Ashima, (From the collection "We Are Tiger Dragon People"), 2008-2014

Fifth Picture:

Title: A Pop-up Book of Lillies, Roses, Iris, Pansies, Columbine, Love-In-A-Mist, Larkspur, And Other Flowers In A Glass Vase On Table Top, Flanked By A Rose And A Carnation, 2023

[seadragon-sailing]

While Luka was saved by Feng and Shinju, it wasn’t exactly the most smooth start for what would become a marriage between these two opposites.  I’ve actually been having a lot of fun on a nostalgia trip where I’m only now realizing how much inspiration for Shinju got drawn from Tigress (Kung Fu Panda) and Colette (Ratatouille), and I LOVE the idea that the way Luka and Shinju’s relationship developed similarly to the two duos in the films.  Their friendship formed overtime where the two start to help balance and improve each other.

This was fun, so I'm tagging @kung-fu-cutbug @kitdriveyards @comicallycubicalcassie @pure-vanilla-lilies @kiraheartilly36 and uhhh anyone else who sees this and thinks "oh this looks fun" to also try this. if they wanna.

Oh and it's lengthy as h*ck cause my basic-bitch fandom trait is that I really fucking love incorrect quotes -

(programme note: there's a character in leaf story whose name doesn't get revealed for a rather silly amount of time. it's kinda an open secret on our discords but lol)

(redacted): *holds a gun out to Leaf* Leaf: I-I don't believe in guns. (redacted): Well, trust me, they're very real. Now take it.

Leaf: This bloodline ends with me. (redacted): That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm gay".

(redacted): I have lots of friends! Leaf: Name one. (redacted): Well, there’s- Leaf: Name one you haven’t gotten incredibly angry at. (redacted): Hey, that’s not fair, then there isn’t any!

(redacted): I’m doing what I can to jog your memory. Leaf: It’s jogging, I guess. Its tiddies are jiggling a little. (redacted): Nice.

Leaf: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm? (redacted): If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.

(redacted): GET BACK HERE YOU DUMB FUCK! Leaf: LET ME RUN FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!

And now let's add some canon characters into the mix:

Colette: I didn’t know that air fryers are a real thing. Used to think that they were made up by the internet as a funny joke and that their purpose was to “fry air”. Leaf: WAIT, BUT IT FRIES THE AIR TO FRY THE FOOD?? Colette: I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS A KITCHEN APPLIANCE, MY FIRST ASSUMPTION WAS SOMETHING AKIN TO AN AIR CONDITIONER! Lloyd: IT’S NOT LIKE AN AIR CONDITIONER???? (redacted): You guys clearly don’t own an air fryer.

(redacted): How late were you up last night? Leaf & Colette, in tandem: Me? (redacted): No, not you two. You stay up late all the time. (redacted), to Lloyd: You.

Lloyd: What is love? Colette: An emotional minefield. (redacted): A neurochemical reaction. Leaf: Baby don't hurt me.

Leaf: ARE YOU- Zelos: Fucking. Leaf: KIDDING ME?! YOU- Zelos: Fucking. Leaf: IDIOT! (redacted): …What was that? Zelos: Raine banned Leaf from swearing, so I’m helping her out.

Leaf: I give up. I am so tired. Raine: Get the emergency supply! (redacted): carries Zelos and places him in front of Leaf Zelos: smiles Leaf: AND I AM BACK BABY, LET’S GOOO

Zelos: Subs are so fun to play with. All you have to do is hint at what you might do, back them into a corner with a look, or grab their wrist in a certain way and they're a wide-eyed mess. Raine: What the fuck kind of Subway are you going to? Leaf: Substitute teachers deal with so much shit. (redacted): Guys.

leaf is absolutely just committing to the bit on that one

Zelos: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire?? Raine: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔 Leaf: Why were you microwaving a lemon??? Raine: I read boiling lemons helps cover up up bad smells (I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges) but I didn't own any pots. (redacted): Did you burn an orange too? How??? Raine: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔

Raine: I’m the smartest person in my friend group. (redacted): You hang out with Leaf, Lloyd, Colette, and Zelos. (redacted): It’s not as high a compliment as you think.

Colette: So, did everyone learn their lesson? (redacted): No. Leaf: I did not. Zelos: I may have actually forgotten one. Lloyd: Also no. Colette: Oh good, neither did I. Raine: *Exhausted sigh*

Raine: A mouse! Lloyd, pulling out a knife: Go back to where you came from or I'll stab you. Zelos, pulling out a frying pan: It'll make a nice meal! Colette, giving the mouse cheese: You deserve a treat, little guy. (redacted), gasping: It's Ratatouille! Leaf: His name is Remi, dummy. Raine: …I was going to say to just trap it and throw it out the window… what is wrong with you people.

Lloyd: Wait, hold up, why you draw yourself like that? Leaf: Uh, like what? Lloyd: Like with gorgeous, muscular legs. Leaf: Uh, this is what I look like. Lloyd: Leaf: THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE! Lloyd: Okay, then I want big beefy arms. Hot ones. Colette: I wanna have a cowboy hat! Leaf: Okay, arms and hat. *draws them* Zelos: Ooh, give me a cowboy hat too! Leaf: You can't just take Colette's hat idea, Zelos! She thought it up all by herself like a good person! Come up with your own thing! Zelos: BUT I WANNA LOOK COOL! Raine: Put Zelos on one of those stupid baby tricycles. Zelos: NO!! Leaf: Tricycle, done. *draws it* (redacted), want anything? Raine, making finger guns: Pew pew. Leaf: A blaster?! No, that's not really our style, (redacted). (redacted), making finger guns: Pew pew. Leaf: You know what, okay. *draws it* But it's just for holding, not for shooting.

A Twisted Tale Anathology Review

This anathology of sixteen short stories take new twists on tales already done in the series and new ones from the Pixar and Disney animal catalogue. In the limited space, the authors manage to pack in heartfelt and fun adventures that may make you see the story in a new way.

It's always hard to do an anathology review so I'll do my best to summarize each story and what I enjoyed from it.

Cast Out: What if Snow White learned magic? Blackthorne's Twisted Tale debut has Snow White incidentally taking charge of her fate. During her cleaning of the castle, she finds the magic mirror and her stepmother's evil magic lair. Once she realizes the danger (and the potential excitment to her dreary scullary maid life), she starts reading her spellbooks and is able to change her fate. I enjoyed this twist in how Blackthorne ably retains Snow White's sweet personality and love for animals with a stronger intention in her actions as she takes up spells to protect herself and her animal friends.

A First Mission: What if Mulan became the Emperor's advisor? After returning home, Mulan decides to accept the Emperor's offer to become his advisor so she can serve her country and become a role model to the women of China. Let's face it, after defeating the Huns going back to chores or marriage question wasn't her style. Unfortunately, the other advisors aren't thrilled a woman is among them especially Chi Fu. He schemes to get her kicked out by pointing out her lack of experience. Mulan knows what he is trying to do but she also knows he's right that she doesn't having the training or education so she accepts his challenge to save China's imperial silkworms. This was like a classic Disney short film with Mulan saving the day and making Chi Fu see her in a new light. Just very light and filled with warm-hearted characterization that epitomizes the kind of woman Mulan is. She may not be traditional, but her compassion and ability to see what's really important make her shine. Also I enjoyed Lim's MulanxShang dynamic.

Et Voila: What if Remy had met Colette first? Braswell did a great job on this Pixar classic! Colette's struggles as the only woman in a male-dominated chef industry was steller as she balances Colette's exhaustion of the daily grind, how dishartened she is that she has no more passion for her work yet her technical expertise can't make up for the fact she doesn't have the creativity of master chef. That is until she meets Remy. He has the vision, she has the human hands for knives and together, they make their own pop-up resturaunt in an alleyway. I loved the humorous realism of Colette doubting her sanity as she bonds with the rat and the quiet friendship that springs up between them. Remy finds someone who understands him and Colette loves cooking again. One of my favorites in the anathology.

The Envelope: What if Anastasia had a change of heart? Calonita finally gets to do a story with her favorite Disney tale, and I think it's clear she's a Cinderella fan as this slightly copies Cinderella 2 and 3 by depicting Anastasia's redemption. Yes, Anastasia realizes she did Cinderella wrong, yes, she's treated harshly by her mother and Drizella for her idealism, yes, she gets a cute love interest. But unlike other tales, her redemption is primarily her own and inspired by her late father's belongings that make her realize she has gone far from who he would have wanted her to be. It's a nice tale, but skippable if you're already familiar with other Cinderella movies.

A New Dawn: What if Mufasa gave up his throne? Rochon saves all of us from childhood trauma by having Mufasa live through his fall off the cliff. Permenantly handicapped, he is forced to step down from leadership and Simba becomes king. Rochon creates an interesting conflict as Simba struggles to lead with his father undermining his commands to the pride. He can effectively protect them if Mufasa is sending him one way and the elders don't respect him. The hashing out between father and son is only heightened by Mufasa's choice to blindly ignore Scar's betrayal and believe his lies, plunging them to more danger from internal divisions. Rochon does an excellent job in showing a layered father-son bond as Simba shows that he's ready to lead on his own and Mufasa acknowledge his own resentments while strengthening there is much for them to still learn from each other. Plus the lion fight scenes were truly raw and primal.

Rattle the Stars: What if Jim Hawkins joined the pirates? It's everyone's favorite cult classic! I was so excited for this and England didn't disappoint as they have Jim overhear Silver's betrayal and decide to join the pirate side. She does a good job illustrating Jim's insecurity and hurt over Silver's words and his constant questioning of his sincerity afterwards. Even though he doubts Silver's genuineness, his 'rattle the stars" speech still inspires Jim to take up the pirate mutiny so he'll be able to get the treasure to his mother faster. England makes it clear that this decision will leave Jim with moral ambiguity for the rest of his journey, disappointing Captain Amelia and Dobbler and following in the footsteps of his dead-beat father. But it also feels right for him at this moment, and perhaps he'll be able to finally feel free without the baggage of other's disappoints. It made me want to see more of the story and how Jim the pirate would go, if he'd find his way back home or if he'll further cross all his moral lines.

A Royal Game of Chess: What if history wasn't quite right about the legend of Robin Hood? Braswell takes on the classic trope of what if Robin Hood was a girl. In this case, what if Robin Hood was actually Maid Marian and Red was just her carefree boyfriend and image so King John wouldn't know of the infiltraitor under his roof? Braswell clearly has a lot of fun highlighting the characters' animal characteristics and descriptors and does a nice job of showing Marian's frustration that she is better serving the people inside King John's castle rather than spending it full time in Robin Hood gear as she desires. Even if it means letting Red take all the credit. It was fine, a bit bland as I've seen the trope before though.

The Secret Exchange: What if Eric met Ariel after she rescued him? Here, we get full view of Ariel and Eric's relationship where both can speak their minds and share each other's worlds. Every day, Eric rows out and explains the things about the human world that Ariel always longed to know and Ariel tells him all about under the sea. It's adorable and I love how Lim shows how alike they are in their curisoity and love of adventure and bashfulness of their true feelings. Still, there's plenty of action as Ursula conspires to use their attraction to each other to sow discord in the sea and steal Triton's crown. I really enjoyed this take on the story that has Ariel and Eric teaming up to work together against Ursula and expands the idea of Ariel and Eric being the bridge between sky and sea.

Dust to Dust: What if Tinkerbell was working for Captain Hook? Tinkerbell goes the way of Vidia when she irresponsibly uses her dust to finish her work and gets kicked out of Pixie Hollow. Her magic is tainted and she's soon lured by Hook's worldview that the other fairies are too snooty and judgy, that he gets her and that he needs her help to save Neverland from the dastardly Peter Pan. Ostow perfectly depicts Hook's pompous ego and Tinkerbell's mercurial feelings as they team up to take down Pan by Tinerkbell falls for him instead until that Wendy creature comes along. This time she's not completely motivated by jealousy but also by a fear of abandonment yet the rescue is a wonderful scene of imagination and magical awesomenesss. I just wished there had been more Hook and Tink interactions that was promised from the title.

Gonna Take You There: What if Naveen had to get home to Maldonia? It's road trip time! Tiana quits her job in a huff but before she can go beg for it back, she sees Naveen helpless on the dock after his valet quit on him. She can't leave a man in need and the fact that he's willing to pay her anything to help him get to the docks seals the deal. With Lottie in tow, they had to Alabama and Rochon illustrates the sweetest road trip fluttering crush feelings in a matter of hours. Maybe it's unrealistic but I found it sweet how Tiana talked Naveen into realizing what his future profession could be so he wouldn't have to be a professional moocher and Naveen was able to make Tiana able to appreciate the present and enjoy life. It shows even without the magical circumstances and forced frog bonding, Naveen and Tiana have a chance after all, they just fit.

Fates, Three: What if the triplets visited the witch? The triplets of Dun Broch are fifteen years old and still incorrigable rascals. Well, Hamish is. His other brothers have been preoccupied with their own interest and loves and he's beginning to feel left behind. When he ropes them into another prank that goes disasterously wrong, they secretly sneak out to the witch to change their fates even though Merida would have their hides if they found out. Calonita always has the right touch when depicting familial relationships and it's no different here as she has the brothers reaffirm their bond and communicate their insecurities all while annoying the heck out of the witch.

A Dragon in the Snow: What if Madam Mim and Merlin went to school together? Who doesn't love a good school AU and Perez delivers a bittersweet tale of romance and insecurity. Mim has always been an outcast, her lavender hair a bright sign that she's infected with shadow magic. She's been building herself up to become a royal mage, so to prove to everyone she is good and no one can dismiss her again. In fact, Merlin is one of the few who always treats her with respect and soon their friendship turns to a romance. But when the trial comes down to the two of them, Mim loses and lashes out at Merlin for all his privileges and his romance which broke her concentration. Perez kept Mim's bitterness ever present so even though it's sad when Mim realizes it doesn't matter how hard she works, political connections and lineage rule the day, it also feels inevitable that she'd turn evil. A tragic tale that adds extra depth to the movie if you choose to believe they did have a romance.

The Journey Home: What if Belle had to take her father's place at the fair? Once again, Rochon takes a realistic approch to this Disney tale by bypassing the original story entirely. Belle never goes to the castle or meets the Beast or anything. Instead she ventures to the snow, excited to finally get an adventure only to get stuck in a snowstorm. The only person who could help her transport her father's invention-Gaston. Rochon hilariously writes Belle's disgust with Gaston and her painful choice to ask for his help. Her Gaston is perfectly, smugly in character too, I could hear his voice. But Belle ultimately rescues herself using her own ineguinty, showing that Belle is amazing all by herself with an epilogue that gives her the happy ending she never knew she wanted.

Call it a Hunch: What if Hercules' first day as a god didn't go as planned? Calonita did such a great job in Go the Distance so this story also becomes my immediate fav. Her characterization of Hercules and Meg is amazing from Hercules' sweetness and readiness to start helping others (even though he's unsure how) and Meg trying to start her detective agency. The dialogue is snappy, the dynamic is wonderful, and I enjoyed the inclusion of the gods. It made me smile the whole time. Of course, I'm biased. I just wished there had been more from Hercules' POV but it is inevitable Meg steals the show so I can't really blame Calonita.

The Reluctant Prince: What if Bambi didn't want to be the next Great Prince of the Forest? Braswell's nature imagery instantly brought to mind this soothing film though Bambi's troubles were less so as his father informs him he'll be Prince next season. Bambi is unsure of the responsibilities, he doesn't want to be the aloof leader his father is. He wants to be with his kids that will be born soon, he wants enjoy spring with his friends. The trio of Bambi, Thumper and Flower was nicely done, showing their steadfast friendship, best part of the story. But Bambi's talk with Faline does show human-depth to the character as she makes him see that he's confusing the role of the Great Prince with his resentment of his father and that he doesn't have to follow his footsteps. It was cool that one of the underrated films had one of the most interesting food for thought in giving Bambi more characterization. Although, this may have been based on Bambi 2, it's been awhile but I think the plot/conflict was similar.

The Rose and the Thorns: What if Aurora knew the truth about her curse? Lim closes out the novel by having Aurora take charge of her story too. Knowing about the curse, she has grown up in the castle with her fairy godmothers preparing her with magic and fencing to defend herself against Maleficent's arrival on the chance she doesn't prick her finger. The effect has made her wish for a quiet life in the woods so she doesn't have to deal with the anticipation/overprotectiveness/countdown of the curse controlling everything around her. Luckily, she has Prince Phillip, her best friend and her crush though she's unsure how to convey her feelings with the whole "True love's kiss" thing hanging over them. Lim does good job in keeping them in character and expanding their relationship while presenting a new tale where Aurora and Phillip ambush Maleficent first so they could put the curse to rest once and for all.

This was a fun anathology that any Disney fan would love! I'd recommend reading it all the way through though I'm sure others would skip around to their favorites. Mine were A First Mission, Et Voila, A New Dawn, Rattle the Stars, Gonna Take You There, Fates Three, Call It a Hunch and The Reluctant Prince.

I'm rewatching SOA and i'm currently on season 6 (my least fav). In the scene where tara catches Jax cheating on her, i feel like he kinda smirks, and is somewhat smug about being caught. Do you think he was happy or pleased with tara's reaction (beating up collete). I think jax liked tara beating up collete, i think in his mind that meant she still cared/wanted him. Also, tara slapping jax was soooooo good lol

S6 is my least fave too ugh I always skip straight to the last 3 episodes whenever I rewatch because Jax repulses me the entire time lmao.

You're absolutely right. God, I hate that smug and self-satisfying smirk on his face. With that smirk he showed that he was happy to punish her and hurt her the way she hurt him. To me it's the "well, you want to divorce me and take my kids so I can fu<k whoever the hell I want and you can't do anything about it cause you were asking for it" smirk.

I don't think he was happy or pleased that she beat up Colette (I certainly was) (but if he was then I'd gladly thrive in that take lol) because for the majority of that episode he was so hurt and angry with her that I don't think he cared about what she felt in that specific moment. However, after he ran after her and saw her with a gun and all that, I really believe that he regretted sleeping with colette and felt extremely ashamed.

Tara slapping Jax was honestly the highlight of the entire season for me lmao it was really soooo good and it's been a long time coming.

man im in a weird headspace recently... first The One headcanons, and now this... that's a lotta thoroughly dead content i'm giving brain space to

So, in the now tragically forgotten and buried jrpg franchise, Wild Arms, there was this whole fun gimmick where the wild west influence extended into other tangential americana as well. there's heavy borrowing from D&D, and horror films as well as westerns, and classic romanticized cowboy mythos and such... So in any case the games also had a few cross media spinoffs, including a TV anime and a shortlived manga.

There is a character in the manga named Jye-chi-ka[ジェチカ] which the brave, lone scanlator team, TurtleParadise --back in... what, 2010?-- romanized as Jessica. But I don't know if that's correct.

For context, the other two leads in the series are named Ma-ku-shi Re-mi-n'-to-n'[マキシ・レミントン] transliterated back into Maxi Remington, a clear reference to the Remington Arms Company, his sister, ko-ne-tto[コネット] taken to be something like Conette or Connett, and Gy[ギィ] who they called Guy, as in the French name, which I think was the correct choice. But as you can sort of see, apart from the Remington bit, the names don't appear to be overt references to anything else to help triangulate Jechika's name.

Jechika is btw a member of a minority group of native American analogs within the Wild Arms world, semi-consistent across different games, called the Baskar. Some other Baskar have been named things like...

Tim Rhymeless and Colette Mapleleaf in WA2; both rather innocuous names... And the family of Gallows, Shane, and Halle Carradine in WA3, much more overtly referencing the iconic scene of lawless frontier justice, Shane from the movie Shane, and Halley's comet plus actor David Carradine, probably tied to this thru the now infamous cult classic TV show, Kung Fu, where producer meddling outed Bruce Lee as lead in favor of having David Carradine play Kwai Chang Caine, a wandering shaolin monk in the wild west.

But this all, as you may be catching onto, also does not help establish clear patterns to help with...

Some random NPCs have names like Harold, Ellen, Cordell, and Laraina? Funny enough these I can sort of tie into references with a bit of guess work.

Cordell in particular stands out as a less common name to have picked here, and I want to assume it's a reference to Cordell Walker, Chuck Norris' star character in Walker Texas Ranger.

In the context of wild west icons, legendary outlaw, Ellen Liddy "Cattle Kate" Watson is the first to come to mind.

I have no idea what to make of Harold... Harold Gould? Semi-famous character actor in TV and film of the 60s-70s? He hardly seems reference worthy, he didn't exactly have a lot of standout roles... Harold McCracken? Sort of famous painter of pseudo-historical wild west scenes? Are those names a random Japanese game dev would have really been able to stumble into in the 2000s? It's the name "Harold" it could be practicallyanyone...

And technically "Laraina"'s name is actually written ri-re-i-na[リレイナ] so that one could just be a localization flub. Actually, it appears to be how they japanized the name of Wynona Rider's character in the 1994 movie, Reality Bites; the character's name is Lelaina Pierce. It's far from being a western but it does take place in Texas, for a Japanese creator maybe that's cowboy adjacent enough?)

So I dunno... Maybe it is Jessica and it's just a weird choice of names because the manga author doesnt have access to the core creative team's specific sensibilities. Maybe it doesn't matter because the core team's sensibilities are also unstable. And if anything, it feels vaguely slavic to me? Like, the way those phonetics roll off the tongue to me sounds like it ought to be something like Tetscheka? Dzhetgya?? Czeschka(like the painter)??? But why would anyone have named a native american analog in some sort of pseudo-slovenian?

I realize this is a cold case. And one without any real answers. But it's one of those things that drives me nuts when I look up somethings simple like, "What were those characters' names again?" and then find myself having wasted the morning on a wild goose chase and now i'm late for work...

[nathaniacolver]

the other thing currently on my mind is the sad fact that even though gen z loves equality, some of the most renowned pieces of media to gen z are media with still VERY little women.

ratatouille literally only has colette, and the grandma with the shotgun at the beginning. like??? was there even a female rat like be fr

kung fu panda has GREAT male-male relationships. po & his dad, tai lung & shifu, oogway. but like ? tigress and viper and that one pig's mom. that's literally it.

up. legit. "kevin is a girl?" the only one in fact. and ellie at the beginning ig (points to the woman being more of a "muse" than an active character with agency)

wall-e lowkey had eve as its token and revered female robot? almost in a muse-like way again? but there is the one human girl though. love her.

i think everyone knows ab lotr.

the original star wars had..........leia???????? like i love her and she for sure can represent all women but..........

like is it so bad to want a cast that looks like this when you pull it up on google

Ravel : L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (Jodie Devos / Clara Guillon / Chloé

MAGIA BIANCA: NON SI SACRIFICANO GLI ANIMALILA NATURA si rivolta contro il bambino che, MAGO , riversa laSUA RABBIA CONTRO ANIMALI INNOCENTIL'Enfant et les sortilèges è un'opera in due parti, composta da Maurice Ravel fra il 1919 ed il 1925, in collaborazione con Colette che scrisse il libretto intitolato inizialmente Divertissement pour ma fille. Si tratta della seconda ed ultima opera lirica di Ravel, dopo L'Heure espagnole (1907). Capolavoro di orchestrazione, L'Enfant et les sortilèges viene spesso eseguita in forma di concerto a causa dei continui cambi di scena previsti dalla storia. L'esecuzione dell'opera al di fuori dalla Francia è piuttosto rara a causa delle difficoltà di traduzione del testo in altre lingue.Il 21 marzo 1925 avvenne la première nella Salle Garnier del Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, orchestra diretta da Victor de Sabata, coreografia di George Balanchine, regia di Raoul Gunsbourg. La prima a Parigi fu il 1 febbraio 1926 al Théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique con la direzione di Albert Wolff.IndiceTrama[modifica | modifica wikitesto]In una vecchia casa di campagna in Normandia, nel primo pomeriggio, un bambino di sette anni, brontola davanti ai suoi compiti di scuola. La madre entra nella stanza e si arrabbia per la pigrizia del figlio. Il bimbo punito, preso da un accesso di collera getta la tazza e la teiera a terra, martirizza lo scoiattolo nella sua gabbia, tira la coda al gatto, attizza la brace con un attizzatoio, rovescia il bollitore, lacera il suo libro, strappa la carta da parati e demolisce il vecchio orologio. "Sono libero, libero, cattivo e libero!…" Esausto, si lascia cadere nella vecchia poltrona… ma questa arretra. Comincia allora il gioco fantastico. Uno dopo l'altro, gli oggetti e gli animali si animano, parlano e minacciano il bambino allibito. Nella casa e poi nel giardino, le creature espongono le loro lamentele e la volontà di vendetta. Mentre il bambino chiama sua madre, tutte le creature si gettano su di lui per punirlo. Ma prima di svenire egli si appresta a curare il piccolo scoiattolo da lui in precedenza ferito. Prese dal rimorso, le creature si scusano e lo riportano da sua madre.  ...
