#I dunno wanted to get this off my chest

[pennycat83]

I legit think I can only put this here but I watched the stage play version of Spirited Away, by play standards it was phenomenal, I loved the puppets, props, way it only uses one set but so well, etc. But in the story department it kinda lacks.

I feel like they already got the script and let certain things slip or not fully take fruition. Like this is probably just my ass growning up on the English dub and how natural it sounds, but characters like Kamaji, Lin and even Haku were overacting at points.

Mildish spoilers??? (literally only makes sense if you watch it) But the biggest idea I had on why so many characters were overacting in the bath house in comparison to the opening sequence, is because the bath house is by default, overtly lavish and grand. Like of course the staff would need to overact to bring in customers and keep them satisfied, whilst it also works as a nice fit for the play.

My only grip is the characters I mentioned aren't like that. Haku's more or less brainwashed by Ubaba into working there so it'd make more sense if that over acting slips at points. Lin's already bullied by her peers and higher up and no one sees Kamaji, he's the boiler guy, who the fuck goes on holiday and is like "hey honey wanna go down to the scalding heat inducing steam room to check out the boilers?!".

Also since the og movie's like 2 hours long the pacing in it's done in a particular way where it's slow, builds up to acti0n and then comes down for more slow. It flows in just the right way where it doesn't feel like it drags (also it's animation so that's the main thing you're focusing on as it goes on). The acting helped with that in the original as well with how chill all the workers are in the down to Earth scenes.

But since everyone was overacting most of the time I just got bored. Like it's all high note all the time, I was betting on when the damn interval was.

The only scene that didn't feel like that was when we got to the train scene and we watch a group of shadowy yokai leave one by one. Nothing's changed, it's the same in the perfect sense, it's the right kind of breather, my favourite part in it's when this one shadow that looks like a school girl watches them a bit before getting off.

Like in the movie none of the shadows did that they didn't seem interested in Chihiru and no face but I like that small touch.

Again I had no beef with the set design I was just annoyed with how sloppy the pacing felt.

i think the reason i cling to male characters so much despite being sapphic is that im like literally obsessed with the idea of a man loving me and being nice to me. something that has never occurred

Okay okay okay so I know I tentatively put out the idea of MMA fighter!Dabi/Touya, BUT -- what about Cyberpunk!Dabi??

Think about it: the LOV is still a terrorist organization, but with cybernetic enhancements - most of them are damn near on the verge of going Cyberpsycho as it is with how much chrome they're packing.

Their fire fights with the NCPD/Militech and Arasaka are legendary and brutal; no one leaves unscathed, and even the rest of the gangs that terrorize Night City give them a wide birth - least they get pulled into a turf war with them.

Poor little you is just trying to get home after a particularly long day at your job (your hours are shit and the pay is arguably worse), and you find yourself running for cover as a gang fight breaks out between the LOV and Maelstrom.

One thing leads to another, and suddenly you find yourself looking up at a white haired man - more chrome then flesh - learing down at you with a grin so terrifying, you almost think he's gone full psycho, had hd not made any move to snap your neck.

Giving him a quick scan, you can see that he has a cybernetic arm that spits out blue hell fire, and mechanically enhanced eyes so insanely blue it's a new shade to you completely, amoung a plethora of other enhancements that make you question how he isn't a fully fledged Cyberpsycho.

You know who he is, everybody in Night City knows of the white haired pyromaniac with specialty fire resistant implants, and of how dangerous he is.

It's Dabi from the LOV. You're in trouble now.

Had a dream that there was a fifth season of the Life Series and several of the members got switched out. The main thing I remember was that Scott teamed up with ggAcho (who was there and who I know nothing about) and they set up a base that looked very similar to the Scottage, and in the first or second episode Scott gave Acho roses and another flower that was like a lilac but bluer that had apparently come out during the newest update. People started shipping them but they both came out and said that Acho was uncomfortable with it and then people continued to. I asked someone online to tell me a bit about Acho and he said that Scott had apparently known Acho since before Last Life at least and they were good friends. Then Acho and Skizz (who was also there) started making jokes because apparently Acho and Skizz's default skins were incredibly similar (I have never seen Acho's default skin) and Acho accused Skizz of stealing his skin, which of course some fans took too seriously. I woke up after that

Um.

The hermit does what a hermit does best and hermits himself up, back turned and his gaze off elsewhere. What could this terrible threat be that he hides himself from?

Trick-or-treaters.

A fact from me:

Disney movies are just broadway musicals for kids.

i think starting uni post-covid and living at home is the worst combination in the WORLD actually

[janet-the-interplanet]

this has probably been said a lot before but homeless people are dehumanized so much and to such an extensive degree and im fucking sick of it.

like it just pisses me off so much. these are real human beings who deserve access to food water & shelter, just like everyone else. its just disgusting how sone people view them as nothing more than an eyesore that they tell their children to look away from. anyways srry if i didnt articulate this super well, its just been on my mind for a while and im fucking angry.

okay few okay, glad I got that out of the way
