Just throwing it out there: why does Disney get so much criticism for not being original when Dreamworks has made a bunch of adapted films and hasn't gotten as much criticism?

Several Dreamworks films have been based on novels, fairy tales, shows, and other well-known properties. And I'm not talking about specific content. Growing up, I always heard people saying that Dreamworks was better than Disney because Disney did nothing but adaptations (which wasn't true; that's just what they were known for). I feel like on several occasions, situations pop up where people are quick to overlook or criticize Disney while Dreamworks isn't held to the same standard. A lot of Disney's adaptations have been received positively, either from critics, fans, or both. But it's still seen as too reliant on adaptations; Dreamworks also heavily relies on them, yet is seen as superior, with no one saying "they've run out of original ideas."

Note: I'm NOT criticizing adaptating works. I'm just saying those who do pertaining to Disney seem to be biased.

I sometimes (always) think about how fucking insane his life is. He is the greatest swordsman with only one rival but he got his arm chopped. Zoro challenged him, but he begged for him to train Zoro. The only warlord without a crew, in a tiny boat and chopping ships (crew) apart. Got two children without lifting a finger. Not a warlord anymore? No problem, he got a call from another and now back to business to fuck over the Marines.

Like man don't do anything, he just gets everything anyway. Iconic.

Movies I watched all the time as a young and impressionable child:

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys III

The knight gave his heels to his mount and started off again.

Dany rode close beside him.

“Still,” she said, “the common people are waiting for him. Magister Illyrio says they are sewing dragon banners and praying for Viserys to return from across the narrow sea to free them.”

“The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends,” Ser Jorah told her.

“It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.”

He gave a shrug. “They never are.”

Dany rode along quietly for a time, working his words like a puzzle box.

It went against everything that Viserys had ever told her to think that the people could care so little whether a true king or a usurper reigned over them.

Yet the more she thought on Jorah’s words, the more they rang of truth.

The Seraphim & The Concept of Self

I wonder who picked the Seraphim's outfits cause at first glance when you only look at S-Hawk and S-Snake it feels like there's a standard uniform. then you see the whole group and there's definitely some individuality going on; like S-Bear just wearing a mini kuma outfit, S-Shark with the gi, my man Moria got a little suspender situation going on over there. S-mingo wearing a whole ass hawain shirt. So there's definitely some variety though they all incorporate white in some way. And I wonder if maybe they got some input into what they wore one of the only acts of "free will" they were allowed was choosing whether they wore shorts or long pants which is as adorable as it is sad.

Because think about the implications that they are dressed to the taste of their adult counterparts, right down to how doffy and mihawk like to open their shirts (except for S-Snake which thank god) but yeah what if it wasn't an allowance of free will but a test to see just how deep DNA ran. If it could influence something as simple as choice of clothing, just another fact for Vega punk to marvel at.

Or maybe the clothes were chosen by one of the Vega punks (I can imagine Shaka doing it) or one of the other various lab assistants. And it's just another way to get them to embody the warlords, to reinforce who they were cloned to be, impressing on them that they are not their own people, their lives are not their own. They are already predetermined; from what powers they get, to what weapons they use, even down to what clothes they wear. Everything reinforces that they are not people, just "better" "stronger" versions of someone else.

Either way, and It might have not have been purposely meant that way because I'm pretty sure Vega punk doesn't really register them as human (which is weird cause he treats stussy very humanly and a whole other can of worms seeing as they seem to be aware and possess a personality to some capacity) it's another way of dehumanizing them, reducing them to the people they are meant to become. They have no "free will" no illusion of choice; they have a predetermined destiny, a pre-determined order, there was never any room for choice even down to the shirts on their back.

As you can see, I have a type. I'm not sure which one yet, but I'm tracing the connection.

And you haven't seen the boys yet, the number of aggressive blondes will break through the ceiling.

I can't believe there are so few jokes about King miraculously fathering natural children by the original Seven Warlords of the Sea—six of whom are men—without any of them knowing.

A man as attractive as King could've repopulated the Lunarian race by himself through conventional methods but instead it came true thanks to cloning technology.

Recently I made a Discord server centered around shoujo (called Shoujosei Talks) due to a previous server I was part of shutting down. 😭

Since the pervious owner made monthly graphics with new shoujosei releases, I thought I would do the same thing! 🤩

I hope these graphics can prove helpful because I never realized how much I depended on the previous release calendar until they weren't available anymore!

Cheers to a good month of shoujosei buying and reading! 🥰
