#If this is the trailer then that's huge

[pestercide]

Spooky Month 5 had a trailer, right?

If so,, one of my friends found a reupload of it on Youtube,,

But I want confirmation on whether this is real or not before I put it on the archive,, I wasn't there when the trailer dropped so I can't confirm myself. Here's the reupload though. I downloaded it to my laptop just in case for now

A-anime?

you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.

also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:

The Minecraft Movie If It Was Good:

(It should've been an artsy stop-motion film in the Wes Anderson style)

Stop Motion wouldn't have been any more expensive than rendering everything in horrifying realistic CGI, the medium would easily work with Minecraft's blocky aesthetic, and it appeals to both old and young demographics. Plus, you don't need a bloated live-action blockbuster for a Minecraft film to get attention, it's already the best-selling game of all time.

For the story, I'd mirror the average player's first experience with Minecraft by focusing on Steve finding himself alone in this vast, strange world. At-first he's focused on surviving through trial and error, then gradually he begins to wonder where he came from and what his purpose is. He explores the world seeking answers, and finally realizes that "purpose" is something he must give himself.

Just like life, Minecraft is a sandbox game where you must make your own fun.

By utilizing minimal dialogue, an ageless medium, and centring around the fundamental human angst of 'why are we here,' the film (just like the game) could have had a universal and timeless appeal.

Instead we got THIS:

[secriden]

So I was pondering just why I like Style so much and why his specific "failings" and imperfections are so compelling to me - and I think it's because all the other main characters are flawed in ways that are obvious but not very relatable.

Fadel and Bison are murders. Regardless of their motivations and how much they buy into Mama Lilly's propaganda, they still have taken lives and do so with little remorse. Kant is actively lying to, manipulating and taking advantage of Bison and Style (his supposed best friend) for his own ends with seemingly very little compunction. Yes, he's got his reasons; but still.

And then you have Style. His major flaw is that he is thoughtless and selfish and he doesn't seem to understand how to leash in his impulsive desires. This means he constantly ignores or crosses Fadel's boundaries to the point that, by the end of episode 3, is genuinely hurtful. All the same, compared to the things Fadel, Bison, and Kant have done and are still doing (reminder: ep 3 opened with another murder/assassination), this is relatively tame.

But that's precisely why I think people are being so harsh to him vs the other characters. Many of us have felt like the victim of someone like this because it's so common and so we relate to Fadel's frustration and then hurt and anger, and that makes Style actions feel painful in a way that’s personal. Few of us have been victims of the level of violence or manipulation that Fadel and Bison and Kant are dishing out.

Yet that's precisely why I like Style - he's imperfect in ways that add realistic complexity to his character. Why would we expect a character who is bold, brash, and impulsive to also be thoughtful and considerate?? He acts before he can think about things: that's the whole point of his character. He juxtaposes Fadel perfectly because Fadel "plans everything down from years, months, weeks to days" and Style hasn't acted with more than 8 seconds of forethought in his life. It’s part of what makes him perfect for Kant's plan in the first place.

But then, but THEN once Style begins interacting with Fadel, we start to get moments when Style seems to still and become intensely focused - most notably:

Right after the confrontation in the locker rooms (sadly I don't think anyone's gif'ed this yet, so screenshots it is!)...

…after his conversation with Bison about Fadel…

…and when he watches Fadel beat 3 guys up with ease.

We are watching Style find reasons to grow. We are seeing moments when he’s catching himself, slowing down, thinking, wondering. And while it initially starts with curiosity, he so quickly falls into fascination and obsession, and by the end of episode 3 it’s clear he wants more. It's not just about understanding Fadel anymore, Style wants to have him for himself. And if he's going to be something meaningful to Fadel he’s going to have to mature.

This is why I find Style so interesting and so fun to watch. He’s loud, in your face, and obnoxious so the layers aren’t as obvious. We think there’s nothing more there, but his complexity is deceptively hidden while they’re ironically much clearer in the quiet characters like Fadel and Kant.

And I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this growth. Style is written TO HAVE ROOM TO GROW. And, yes, I do think Style is going to rise gloriously to the challenge. We already have hints that this is precisely where the narrative means to take him:

(Fuck, look at how soft and earnest Style's expression is in the left screenshot. ;A;)

He’s by no means perfect but that gives him space to have a hell of a character arc and I, for one, can’t wait for it. 🙌

Been curious for a while and i figure the no 1 marriage chopsticks writer will know but, where did the zhongli/childe marriage chopsticks (especially accidental/unknowing) trope come from? did it start with a specific fic or did multiple people come up with it separately?

also got me thinking Childe is like a phoenix thematically given he’s been reborn by the abyss, but i would love to see an au where hes literally a phoenix. a literal phoenix and dragon love story with phoenix and dragon chopsticks

bestie idk how to tell you this but it came from zhongli's official teaser video

[joxtertheme]

Anyone else paranoid that instead of adding gay marriage they might do away with the romance system entirely and replace it with something resembling the relationship system in Miitopia??

The worst critics won't be the movie critics that make it their job, it's the person who had a Minecraft phase at 10 and has to experience THAT movie...

"it's been a year, mike" will someone explain this to me? hasn't it been a little over 5 months?? did the byers(+eleven) not move to california in october 1985? did mike not visit during march 1986? that's five months give or take. like that is still a while to not really be talking to your best friend but that is still not certainly "a year."

idk that part of the argument always bothered me.

.

on top of that...... isn't it 22.march, the day of will's birthday??? like are there just strange timeywimey stuff going on?
