You're a Nepo Baby, Angela!
#angela giarratana#chanse mccrary#smosh#bit city#the tiger rising#smgifs#the way chanse let her talk then set her up so beautifully 😭#i knew she was gonna dig herself into a hole during the nepo baby talk#it's okay ang - your parents may not be the owners of Honda but it's good enough#This is a multi hyphenate family jfc#note: this is OBVIOUSLY not a marvel movie#seriously tho - she just grew up exposed to the industry and had very supportive parents that let her embrace and enhance her creative side#we all know angela is talented in her own right and works extremely hard soooooo definitely not like most nepo babies#p300

my favorite part of tlou so far has to be ellie's viciousness. her rage. her fury. a 14 year old girl with no one. with no future. with no prospects. except for the fact that the universe randomly decided to spare her instead of millions of others. the grief of that. the indignation of that. when you're born and raised and trained to kill infected that were once, are still ostensibly, people. to kill fireflies, who are wholly people. who are your best friend. your first love. when you expect to die again and again and have to live. are punished with living. "no one who's infected fights this hard to stay alive." she's stark raving bullshit mad from the beginning. fighting against her chains. count to ten slowly and clearly. flinging herself at joel with her knife raised at the slightest provocation. stab the guard in the neck before he can raise alarm. slice the cheek of an infected to watch the strands of fungus open the wound. shoot a boy not much older than you before you have to watch someone else you care about die. carve your own palm open because your blood is medicine. scream and destroy the room with a bat at the injustice. rip apart a kitchen for a cure. raise your rifle high and scowl down the barrel before they can reach for theirs. bite and claw and kick and break his finger and give them a cleaver to the neck, the face. burn the building down. refuse to let this be the best it gets. fight and rip and scream and howl at the audacity of the universe to fuck you like this. put your head down and keep walking because fuck no is this not gonna be how it ends.
#her RAGE#letting her be mean and violent and angry#letting her get dirty and ugly#it's so important#and it sets up her fucking fury in part 2 so beautifully#she is not delicate. she is not to be trifled with#she's a weapon and she's PISSED#tlou#the last of us#tlou hbo

slowly chugging away at this baby blanket, 8in down, 31 to go!!!!!
#pattern is from the little house baby set#and I’m using my new linen silk alpaca blend from wollberry#it’s small yarn!!! but it’s knitting up beautifully#this is for my cousin’s baby girl who will be born this December!#I made her big brother a twin bed sized blanket so making a stroller size this time#and in complimenting colors and patterns so they look good together#luckily I have enough runway#the only thing I’m like 60/40 on is if I have enough yarn#if I can get to 1/3rd before switching my ball out I’ll be in the clear#knitting#knitblr#thoughts? thoughts#(yes that is my other shawls in the background ignore them)#fiber arts

Some very goofy BMB doodles
References under the cut:
#blind man's bluff#ladyredms#l4d2#bmb spoilers#phil trying to intimidate the group by telling them to shoot him but he just looks like that#and on my reread i had the image of the “yeah we gay” meme in my head when nick shot the hazmat zombie LMAOOO#i can't wait for nick to experience more of the beauty of reciprocated gay love#and finally a little doodle tribute to the bridge arc#honestly the bridge arc has the most satisfying and emotional payoff that I’ve EVER read in fiction#like I’m still in awe of it!!!! what a beautifully written and depressing and immensely cathartic arc!!!#and the way it sets up the potential for soooo much positive change even within all that darkness!!!#it seriously had me sobbing like a baby at some parts and made me fall in love with the characters all over again!!!#okay i need to stop blabbing about the bridge arc but I love it sooo much

OUGH when i first got to this part in the anime.... when i tell you i jumped off my couch and i was clapping and cheering THIS SHIT GOES HARD !!!!!
like first of all the comedic payoff and immense satisfaction you get finally seeing this guy realize he's not all-powerful and invincible like he really, truly thought. The Face he makes. we all know the face. but also liberation and freedom and everything else luffy represents are the natural enemy of those who rule through fear
#everything comes together so beautifully. part of why i love skypiea so much is it's just a really fucking good self-contained story#it sets up a ton of later stuff but it's also just a very tightly woven chapter of the greater narrative#with good themes and very fun ways of showing those themes (like this ^)#skypiea#nami#luffy#eneru

Anime good :) (Patreon)
#Doodles#MP100#Shigeo Kagayama#Reigen Arataka#Ritsu Kageyama#Forgive the anglicized name order lol#MP100 was another one of my breakfast anime! Admittedly I did not Just watch it during breakfast tho lol#It was too good ahhhh I kept finding my thoughts returning to it throughout the day!#I probably ended up watching an additional episode or so per day over however long it took haha - drastically cut down the number of days!#The lead ups to the finales especially got me - there was no way I could for the whole next day to see them through!#Plus getting to see those beautiful EPs gosh <3 What could be better than some absolutely stunning animation ♥#I was quite impressed the whole way through :D The cast was great and the animation was beautiful and fluid and impressive#And the technical ability that went into the painted animation! Gosh!!#But most of all - of course - it's just a good solid story <3 Of course it's beautifully expressed but it's just - good down to its bones#I love a story like that :) Mob is such a wonderful character and he's surrounded by good people ♥ It made my heart happy to see#He's loved and he loves <3 That's my very favourite!#Unsurprisingly to me I was most enamoured by the brother relationship who could've seen that coming lol me? Siblings? Pfsh ♪#Ritsu's a sweet boy as well <3 I cried at him crying from Mob not even considering forgiving him because there was never anything to forgive#Not me shorter older sibling feeling exactly the same way hhghghh I'm fine ;;#Reigen is such a fun deadbeat supportive adoptive dad haha ♪ He's hard to pin down! Loved his redemption arc(s) :)#Flawed individuals my beloved <3#Such an enjoyable cast and set of circumstances! I might actually have to give OPM a proper go sometime soon if this is the writing quality

we were only going to watch 1 episode of Arcane last night because it had been a long, productive day and energy was low but uh. well suffice it to say we got sucked in.
holy fuck what a good show
#im gonna be real I was expecting season 2 to be#well. not quite up to the high standard set by season 1#because the writing is SO deep and intricate it's the kind that can't be created under Netflix's godawful capitalism machine#however. literally the first episode alone completely changed my mind#THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY DIALOGUE FOR LIKE. THE FIRST MIMUTE AND A HALF?#IT'S ALL CONVEYED BEAUTIFULLY THROUGH VISUALS#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#flurr text#arcane

It’s been so long since I’ve been driven to do critical analysis of a piece of media but man. The Terror is so good I’m frothing at the mouth
#personal#the terror#just having the anatomy moment in episode one#to recall 1800s sentiments about defiling the natural body#so beautifully sets up the critique of boundless exploration#comparing it to Frankenstein and Walton bc of course I would but I MEAN#also fascinated by the nature vs man conflict with queerness excited to see where that goes#I also hope the doctor vs surgeon hierarchy comes up again#given this societal obsession with hierarchy#and having the surgeon be the more empathetic clinician is really interesting for contemporary AND modern reasons

i have many many many critiques about wylls story, most of them being about the fact it's just so lackluster in game when compared to other companions which is a shame. because wyll to me is and has the potential to be an even more emotionally compelling companion. and he was early access!! he was so gritty in ea please bring him back larian i beg of thee. the way he was rewritten has stripped him of so much nuance and depth. wyll to me is such a wonderful character to me because of what he represents, which is heroism so down to his core he never gives up on it even when he ought to
his goodwill and nobility are ceaseless. at the center of his story is betrayal trauma, his agency over himself vanished into thin air. mizora turns him into a monster and there is no turning back. he has become the thing he's despised, the things he's hunted for his entire life. and we know so little about that canonically because of the way his story is set up but its hinted time and time again that he struggles with his reality deeply and even that cannot make him turn away from the city he loves so much.
if larian would go back to clean up and fix his story (which im truly praying to god they do) i want them to touch on what wyll must be going through as he continues to try to ground himself and deal with his newfound reality. i want them to touch on the abandonment he experiences because of his father and the inevitable burden his title as blade and hero has on him. because these things obviously compel him, they're hinted at all the time but they were completely stripped of him in final release and its fucking disheartening... larian please im begging you. thats the love of my life. please.
but for now i will do it with fanfiction and gather enough wyll fans to make a fuss about it . peace and love
#aristotle.txt#wyll ravengard#bg3#i love wyll so desperately. which makes sense as a deku lover certainly.#but i love him even more because his story is narratively interesting#here is a classically heroic noble making a devils pact to save his city#who is only rewarded for doing this by being banished from the city hes sworn to protect. by his father no less.#he spends seven years away from home and makes a name for himself as a fucking folk hero#he never returns. he doesn't explain himself. he decides that the least he can do is give his life to the sword coast#and then wyll meets karlach. a devil hes supposed to kill except shes not#and because wyll is wyll and because what matters to him most are his beliefs he is easily convinced to not kill karlach. he doesnt want to#kill karlach. so he doesn't. and he pays the price for it. his entire existence is uprooted and he is turned permanently into a partial#devil#hes become his own prey. he spends the game clearly sorrowful in the mourning process. and the game just refuses to touch on this set up#as a WRITER it boggles my mind why wyll does not get that attention from larian because the concept of a hero balancing the weight of his#own pain and sorrow against his beliefs is moving. being able to open up that path with tav narratively that allows wyll to be#selfish and heartbroken. to not be blade or sword. just wyll. what a beautifully interesting storyline would that have made#i have delusion in my heart. i hope they fix it. i want them to fix it so badly because i fucking adore wyll in every way.#and i want the game to represent who he is as much as i feel for him. he is an origin companion and deserves it.#bg3 spoilers

i still do feel like hoyo fumbled a bit with sumeru... even if yes, they DO their research on cultures to some extent i dont know how smart was it to combine so many middle eastern influences into one nation when the others had a set image to all of them. i was soo excited that we were gonna get some turkish representation too since that barely happens -in a media i like no less- and all we got were some npc names. and a few dishes lmao
yeah i think it came out messy in the end. fontaine is in a bit of a weird place also in my opinion since it doesn't just represent france either, i have noticed a lot of general european influences, some irish/scottish/english especially and so on. but the sumeru case is still upsetting to me too, ever since it came out. it was coincidentally around the time i took my break. i would have loved to see it more refined and more thought put into different parts of the region maybe focusing on representing specific cultures (yknow kinda like a real life region!) rather than mix it all up. i think the same for fontaine as well although it would work just as well if it was only france
#not to bring up atla bc it's also my current special interest that came back from our childhood hehe But! that's a good example of using#real life cultural and ethnic influences very right#all the nations have one dedicated culture tehy are inspired by and draw some elements from but they are still in itself recognisable#and you can tell the difference. and it's done very beautifully while still remaining very unique and not just repackaging real life culture#oh and#our partner system is actually turkish too btw so i was actually showing them the foods i saw#but yeah it definitely feels a bit lackluster#don't get me started on the skintone thing as well it was a let down. don't care how many white genshin fans r gonna roll their eyes but#it is upsetting#and natlan coming up is also setting me up for more disappointment

On god just found the worst review of Lego Monkie Kid season 2. And I quote, “There are things from season one that are established for sure and referenced and capitalized on—but I feel like there’s just a little bit too much of that going on if that makes sense. I couldn’t help but feel like this was kind of a continuation to season one as opposed to its own storyline and it’s own season.”
Girl???? You mean it has an overarching plot????????????????
#'Season 2 felt like a continuation of season 1' I SURE HOPE SO#I'm screaming and beating my head against a wall#THIS IS JUST LIKE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT S4 OF TDP AND NOT UNDERSTANDING SET UP. BUT LIKE WORSE SOMEHOW#Like. Please do you know what goes into a good story. What's required for that.#imp tag#lmk#lego monkie kid#This feels just kinda like...this is why toh is so popular#Typically that show does whatever is a 'fun feel good' idea rather than following through with ANYTHING they've set up or introduced#If you don't care about plot structure then of COURSE you just want whatever is going to be the most ''angsty'' or ''cute''#continuity be damned#character arcs be damned#plot be damned#like could you imagine if MK being a Monkie came from no where#That would suck ass#Instead it was hinted at during the first 3 seasons and plays BEAUTIFULLY into his arc of self-reflection and identity#Like MK has functioned as a mirror for so many things and so many characters#Having an ink version of himself function as a mirror for HIM IS JUST SO. IT'S SO GOOD. LIKE I'M GOING TO THROW MY HEAD THROUGH A WINDOW.#toh critical#I guess since I complained in the tags

I don’t care what you fuckers say. Good Omens 2 was the best thing I’ve seen in years and there needs to be a season 3.
#spoilers: good omens 2#good omens spoilers#first off i know fuckers always say queerbaiting but there was zero queerbaiting#everything was set up and paid off beautifully#like if you're mad about the final conflict then you weren't paying attention during the whole job subplot#like what did you think that was there for but to show that aziraphale still had growing to do#that he had the capacity for growth but he wasn't THERE yet like crowley was#one's asleep and one's awake just like that last shot of nina and maggie#glorious parallel by the way#also the plot twist with gabriel and beelzebub was beautifully set up too#ANOTHER parallel by the way#like wow an angel and a demon falling in love#wonder what that represents#but i spent the whole damn show like 'WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE FLIES. IS BEELZEBUB SPYING ON THEM?'#but no. much more betterer. that is a love fly.#and then like at the end#when aziraphale cut crowley off and spoke first i was like#'okay so they're not going to say it explicitly#but there's no fucking way to take nina and maggie's intervention besides crowley being in love#so I accept it as confirmed if questionably canon a la the kiss we both did and didn't see in yuri on ice'#'plausible deniability right'#but then NO#no crowley steered the conversation right back around and MADE IT HAPPEN#SUBVERT THAT TROPE#have him get cut off by absolutely heartbreaking news and SAY IT ANYWAY#EMOTIONAL MATURITY THY NAME IS CROWLEY#Aziraphale just needs to wake up#but yeah i was happy stimming the whole damn show#i kept needing to pause and step away because i was overwhelmed with how much i was enjoying myself#which was an experience i didn't have with the first season
