#also go see My Old Ass

[bethannangel]

Now is the time to find a membership at a movie theater chain. Last night, the dude in front of me dropped $81 on 3 RPX tickets for Devara: Part 1. That’s $25 a ticket plus tax! That’s $7 more a ticket than 6 months ago!

And that’s RPX. Not IMAX. Not 4DX. Not 3D. Not on film. RPX, just somewhat better visuals and sound than regular 2D theaters.

And don’t think it’s just “premium” tickets going up. The regular tickets are $5 more than 6 months ago too.

So unless you have mom and pop theaters that aren’t gouging you for money, please look into free memberships with Cinemark and Regal because they have discounted Tuesdays.

Regal Unlimited (if you have participating theaters in your area) is great because RPX and regular theaters are free while IMAX, 4DX, and 3D are discounted. And that’s unlimited movies any day of the week as many times a day as you want for $19-24 a month! (Service fee applies through the app, free if bought at theater)

AMC A-List is 3 free a week for $25 monthly. (I’m guessing service fee applies each visit, idk I’ve never had it)

Alamo Drafthouse is one movie free a day (must pay service fee because you have to buy through app) for $20ish a month (depending on where you see movies). They do have different tiers and it’s needlessly complicated but still worth looking into.

I know these are the major chains I’m talking about, but please look into your theaters and any charities they work with.

Santikos is a local nonprofit chain for me and they do blood drives every month where they give away a free movie ticket, 30 minute game card and other discounts at their locations if you donate. Every fall they do a food drive where you can get a free game card for nonperishables.

I know I’m preaching to no one when I post this, but I love going to the movies and the feeling you get when you see a good one in theaters is exciting just to think about. But there’s a problem with that. Just seeing a movie because it had good reviews doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. It can be the best acting in the world with an award winning dialogue with the most cinematic shots, but if you don’t like 3-hour dramas or action movies or quiet/silent movies, then it’s not a good movie for you.

You know what you like and you’ll go see what you like, but there may be a movie that surprises you. I just saw Transformers One and from the trailers I thought it was going to be a phoned in kids movie with the worst jokes, but it surprised with with the build up, with the animation, with not as bad as I was expecting jokes. I could’ve easily written it off, but I gave it a shot and now understand why Chris Hemsworth was voice casted for young Optimus Prime. And I know that I wouldn’t fully appreciate the story if I was watching it at home while the world moved around me.

Give movies a shot. Go see movies in theaters. And try to save money while doing it.

You haven't given up on others yet. And you don't need to give up. At the least I'm looking your way, Sakura. So why don't you look this way as well? If you do, I'm sure… you'll become what you want to be.

i’m going to be honest the real enemy is people who saw a grown adult man using feminine speech/mannerisms and were like oh well that means i have to draw him soooo thin and tiny and waifish. obviously

[mohntilyet]

let me be clear i like veilguard but it does suck that no one disapproves anymore outside of like. three choices. i want to be fighting for my life earning approval back again someone has GOT to hate my ass. i should be careful about party composition and companion reactions again. i miss tactically taking fenris out of the party before i'm nice to merrill like those were the days

Drawing I never posted time so funny story:

so there's this one like really REALLY good Miku cover of a Super Sentai song i found like a year ago and recently i went "hey maybe i should make some fanart of it because I like the cover so much I can even shill the cover in the post so other people listen to it"

then i started drawing this and went to look up the cover to get in the mood only to discover the creator deleted the original upload and replaced it with a version that used AI art for the thumbnail (i am SO salty that guy made amazing covers whyyyy) (this is the saltiest ive ever been about someone using AI) and uhh the cover itself is still great but AI art goes against my morals so I don't wanna link it but I was already inspired to do this art so i finished it anyway

WHOOPSE

we can just say now this is art of Miku as a Shinkenger or whatever to my 2 followers that appeals to

(anyway this is how you learn i've been slowly falling down the tokusatsu rabbit hole recently)

Why do you ship Sans x Frisk? As a person who ships them myself, what do you see in them, like about them? Personality traits, situations, tropes etc, anything that comes to mind, what makes you enjoy them and continue to breathe life to them?

Okay so uh this is pretty hard to answer in a way that precisely expresses what's in my head in words ngl so the short to the point answer would be that...I play the game. I get to Snowdin. I get to the point where we meet Sans. I put the Frisk sprite next to Sans sprite. I go:

Yeah I don't know. Maybe they're 2 of my favourite characters. I just really liked seeing these 2 characters together. First it was the character design appearance that pulled me in. They just look good together in my eyes. Then I studied more of these characters individually and I was like, what if they're together? 👀 hohoho the potential :]

For me, Frans is like- something something "We have burdens and secrets that no one but the two of us knows and it's killing me on the inside. So let us share these burdens between us and find comfort in each other. It's okay as long as we're together. I'll be here for you. Please comfort me" something something

And damn, there's so many different flavours of Frans around the internet. I can never get tired of this ship TvT. Heck, I even got to cook up a different kind to add to the buffet too XD. I've talked about their dynamic more in my "Why I made my Frans queerplatonic" post.

Yeah, Sans "there's more to him than he lets it show" the Skeleton and Frisk "mysterious protagonist with powers unique from the other characters" the Human. I just genuinely love them. They've been spinning in the corner of my brain for years. I've been thinking about how these two's realtionahip would develop into what I've been drawing but that's another topic and I don't know how to tell it without sounding incoherent haha

Oh yeah also, monster x human. We love that trope here

Hello! 🦠 anon here again... I'm not sure if my ask wast sent so im gonna ask again,

What are your headcanons on swatch? Can you tell more of your concept of them? Like how do you view him? I would really appreciate it even it's like small fun facts! thanks a lot :)

you're fine i didn't have art to post so i didn't log in for a few days. uhhhhhh SwatchThoughts(tm):

they're the head butler ofc, but they're also queen's right-hand-man (gender neutral), her #1 bestie. they know everything about her, even about lancer before the events of ch2. they will literally do anything she asks and anything that will entertain her. it's tiring and they do complain sometimes but they enjoy their work, they know what a kind person she really is and that she's generally a good ruler, so they like to make her happy :)

weirdly competitive. nobody beats them in queen's monthly fruit-smashing competition and if you somehow do, they're a good sport but You Will Not Win Next Month. You Won't.

workaholic. oh god they wear so many hats in the mansion and they're so tired all the time, it's a miracle they get everything done

the color cafe is a regular butler cafe up front and a host club in the back. a handful of the birds, including swatch, can be paid (at quite high rates, swatch especially) to join you for drinks or sweets, flirt with you, cuddle - p much have a sweet and lightly romantic time. you would not believe how much money spamton dumped into the host club back in the day. their undisputed #1 customer even 20 years later

i generally view them as very asexual (demi specifically. + nonbinary) but they still love their host work! it's fun, they like making people happy and playing at being a romantic. and the sweets. they like the sweets just as much 🍰

damn good chef and an even better baker

very polite but short tempered 😔 they're quick to rough up people who don't follow the rules or who just personally annoy them/cause chaos, and they always win

they are the tallest swatchling, at 9 feet tall. Beast. good for carrying queen on their broad shoulders though!

their feathers, which are all slightly curly, have a slight iridescence to them that tint, along with accents on their outfit, in accordance to their mood or the paint they've been drinking . the default is pink

dressed to the nines 24/7. even on their time off.

they adore their birds. they spawned each and every single one of them (the ones in their own flock that work for queen, anyway), they know all their names even when everyone's the same color and they remember what's going on in their lives. which is impressive when there's at least a couple hundred of them ;;;

their favorite flavor of paint is dusty lilac

their favorite normal flavor is strawberry

as an art program they not only create things for lightners but also for queen ! they design a lot of things for her with her input, and with as quickly as they can draw things directly into the dark world they're always working on things for her, while dressing up their cafe for themed events in-between.

the underside of their tail is a swatchbook

they love being pet please pet them please please please p
