#THE PIGEONS I'M CRYIN...

[ddarker-dreams]

We are very thankful with your generosity, Can I ask for Gojo or Chrollo crumbs plis?

"What's gotcha all worked up, anyway?"

Panting, you wipe the sweat accumulating on your temple.

From this angle, Satoru towers overhead, leisurely approaching with his hands tucked into his pockets. Your eyes rake over his form for any opening. Even in this casual posture, with his Infinity deactivated, you find nothing. Not even a sliver that has a one-in-a-million chance to make physical contact. You'd sooner tear the moon from the sky than inflict the most superficial injury upon him.

Satoru bends over, tilting his head as he inspects you. "Shouldn't we be, I dunno, using our words or something? Communication is the key to every healthy relationship."

"You're insufferable."

"Fair, fair— ah, back up already?" Satoru dodges a blow to his head. "Hate to say it, but this is your weakest attempt yet. Need a handicap?"

Another series of jabs fail to come within inches of his person.

"A hint?"

Then another.

"Wanna phone a friend, maybe?" He catches your wrist with a grin you can only describe as maniacal. "Alright, I'm calling a timeout. Can't have you going into cardiac arrest on me."

In an instant, you're spun around. He pins your arms together from behind, rendering any resistance impossible. Regardless, you do what you can, writhing around enough for him to slightly loosen his grip, lest he dislocate your wrist. You hear him sigh beside your ear.

"... Do you hate me that much?"

Your breath catches in your throat.

Memories come flooding through from the high tide he raised. Hours spent shoulder to shoulder, playing through the latest game release. Him trying to sneak bites of your dango while fireworks in the night sky distracted you. You, him, and a blurry third figure, traipsing through an aquarium, without a care in the world.

If he wasn't holding onto you, you think you may have collapsed.

A defeated laugh leaves your lips.

After what feels like an eternity, you admit what you both already know.

"I don't think I can."

Disney Movie Marathon #48 Bolt (2008)

I've never seen this movie. I'm not even sure what even happens in it aside from acting dog thinks he's an actual super hero dog but gets lost in the city or something, and there's a cat and hamster. I remember on Disney Channel one of the selling points of this movie was the main girl is voiced by Miley Cyrus.

Story: Not me cryin at Bolt willing to stay behind in a burning building with Penny because he loves her more than anything. Okay but this movie was one of the better ones I've seen since Treasure Planet. It's not on Treasure Planet's level but I think Disney is starting to get the hang of their storytelling together again. The opening action sequence went on a little longer than it really needed to. I get they had to sell how "dangerous" this world is supposed to be for Bolt and Penny but that would have come across just the same in half the time. It's a silly motive for sure but I do like after we see that it's all for TV how the crew hides around this fact. When the plot actually gets going of Bolt trying to find his way back and the realization he's not a super dog is pretty good. Predictable at moments but it was fun which is all I can really ask for. The amount of screen time used for the pigeon gags could have been cut in half though

Characters: I don't really care for the human characters since they're just kinda there. That agent dude is a dick just for the sake of it. Penny barely gets by on having me care but all my care has gone to Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino. These past movies have made me expecting the worst that when I actually enjoyed the dynamic of these characters I was so happy. Rhino was purely there for comedy but I saw him as the child super fan traveling with his literal hero so it made sense to me. I like how Bolt starts out talking like cliche hero dialogue and his slow progression to acting like a normal dog with the help from Mittens. I really liked the trio of animals

Art/Animation: Still a bit eh on the facial rigs but! Their animation is getting much better and I like how they made the backgrounds look more painterly than try to render them in engine. Sometimes I was like oh yup that's straight up looking at a painting on a wall not at a distance but usually the painterly stuff worked well. I wish Disney tried to do more of that

Songs: The songs are fine. I knew the fact that they had Miley in this she would end up singing a song in the credits. Generic soundtrack but I enjoyed the movie so it didn't get dragged by it
