The various Pratchett adaptations really cemented how much heavy lifting good adaptions do.

The Vadim Jean movies are the most enjoyable. They’ve got cheap, homemade-looking design. Their pacing is abysmal. The casting is some of the best to be done for any book adaptation ever and the direction is some of the worst. Overall: fun enough but slow. A nice thing to have on in the background. Faithful to the letter. Doesn’t communicate the first thing about the books, which are suffused with a wild energy that grabs first-timers like an alligator’s jaw. On the outside it is the perfect discworld but the essence of discworld has been almost totally boiled off.

The Maurice movie, I haven’t yet seen it but the visual design is enough to put me off. The first cover is jagged, angular and rough, the first lines are flashes of firecrackers in the dark. It’s a book that glories in the grit that made children’s books like Nimh into classics. It’s not a horrific or depression book, but it’s consciously edgy! The movie on the other hand is so deliberately bright and round that I just can’t do it. No matter how good the cast or how snappy the script, the visuals aren’t good. They’re perfectly fine on their own, and they’re a terrible adaption of a decent book.

Gnomens, sucks. It sucks. Great cast, it sucks. Put a great dialogue to actors who could handle it with better effects and a bit better direction than Jean, became a pop cultural phenomenon, blew people away with its deadpan humour and comment on humanity, it sucks. The dialogue is the same, but from the bizarre office pastiche (instead of our good proper spy pastiche) to the de-emphasis of the humans to the incoherent visual style to the slow slow pace for a shortish book to the bad wigs I just hate it. Man. It’s everything an adaption technically should be. It sucks.

#I can never for give gnomens for getting popular #kelsey liveblogs discworld #I rememberrrrr when I was reading the copy i got for Christmas #it was grade 8 or 9. I would log on and see all kinds of cool interpretations of this new age apocalyptic spy vs spy thing #and I had fun!

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

#pokemon #pkmn #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd #tag games #someone might've done this concept already but i had a worm in my brain you know.#i thought itd be fun to list all the unevolved pokemon... now i know there's only around 400 evolution lines total!#.. not counting mythicals legendaries ultra beasts or paradoxes #by the way! alongside the shiny result there are two other bonus results: an obligatory pikachu and... a surprise!!!#finally feel free to let me know if i misspelled something or accidentally included an evolved mon (other than pikachu)#sorry long tags ha 😅 i'm done now

I ONCE TRIED TO WASH THAT SCUFFED OLD THING WHILE HE WAS TAKING ONE OF HIS NAPS, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT OFF HE WAS WEARING ANOTHER IDENTICAL ONE UNDERNEATH! AND ANOTHER! I GOT THROUGH TEN MORE LAYERS OF THE SAME THING BEFORE HE WOKE UP. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED! WHERE DID HE EVEN GET THOSE FROM? THEY ALL EVEN HAD THE SAME STAINS!!

#originally was gonna make a fun papyrus and sans blog But um #got shy Lol #also i dont think id have been able to keep it up very long #here’S the art i made for the first post and a snippet of the long ass essay i had typed out #maybe one day i’ll revisit the idea #with less essay length posts because i think that’s what intimidated me #sans #papyrus #undertale

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
