[ID: A Tumblr post by user @/triviallytrue reading: every day star wars fans come on this site and say some version of "star wars would be so good if it was good." End ID]
man. the star wars sequel trilogy could have been so good if they hadn't fucked it up
#insert the marge simpson “its true but he shouldnt say it”#look. star wars has a lot of amazing aspects but since I have not been given creative control these aspects will never be utilized#im so sorry john boyega im so sorry kelly marie tran#thinking about the fact that disney literally stole my brothers. neighbors. and my version of the sequels#except we were all under the age of 10 and it was a musical and ours was infinitely better#we knew a child of han and leia would turn evil but since we had grown up watching atla he had a redemption arc#and because it was about han and leia's SIX children and the tragedy of seeing your baby brother stray from the path#AND IT WAS A MUSICAL!!#the only thing better about d*sneys is that john boyega and kelly marie tran were in it#and that this was one of the first roles where oscar isaac wasnt killed off#but the fact that a latino actor had to BEG to not be killed off or a drug dealer and then they wrote him to have a drug dealing past.....#i hate that so much#also yes our version had central american rep. it had adoption rep (all of han and leias kids were adopted) it had musical rep#and yes we repeated aspects of the plot but we were all under the age of 10. we were 5. 7 and 9. all six of us

Little rant about live action remakes, specifically HTTYD
Okay, so sometimes when I am reminded that HTTYD is getting a live action remake, it kinda makes my stomach hurt. Why? Let me tell you.
I watched HTTYD as a kid and kinda forgot about it, but in 2020, when the world was falling apart, I turned to it and fell in love. Like obsessed. I hyper-fixated on it for months. I watched all three movies, the short films, RTTE, and a few episodes of DoB that I could find for free lol. I read the fanfics and have obsessed over fan-art (seriously guys, whoever is talented enough to draw, keep it up! I love y'alls fan-art so much!!) I listened to John Powell's music while I completed my online homework, it felt so stable to me. The characters, the music, the beauty of the animation, it was comforting. Especially during such an awful time.
When I heard that there was a live-action film in the works, it literally made me sick. I refuse to watch the D*sney remakes because they're all soulless cash-grabs. But, I also admit that I have never been as attached to any of the Mouse movies as much as I have been with HTTYD. One of my friends asked me why I am not happy with this because he knows I love the series. So here is my little rant and reasons as to why I am dreading this so much.
1) Did the fans ask for this?? No. It's not as simple as, "just don't watch it". When this movie inevitably makes a ton of new changes (like all live action remakes) those changes will become actual canon. Whatever changes are made will affect what we know about the world of Berk and the characters of it. We as a fandom, have done a pretty good job of appreciating these characters for who they are and the story for what it is and growing it through some pretty great head cannons. Well, guess what, that could all change. Whoopie doo!
2) The degradation of Animation. Animation is an art form. Not a genre. It is a medium. Yet, time and time again it is presented as something childish and something that cannot be taken seriously. (I've recently had an argument with my friend because he thinks he's much too mature to watch animated movies). Each and every-time an animated movie is remade, it is a slap to the face of every animator who worked their butts off to make it as beautiful as possible. And in an effort to make the remakes more realistic, they are often washed out and use bland colors. Can you imagine the unholy offspring we'll get with Toothless and the other dragons when they are made "realistic"??
Let's appreciate scenes like this:


and this

or this

also, can't forget about the hidden world,

these scenes are GORGEOUS. They are not realistic, why should they be?? This is a series about dragons, not taxes, it doesn't have to be realistic. The colors, the textures, every element works together, beautifully.
Some honorable mentions: the scene in HTTYD 2, when Stoick is walking into the blacksmith shop,,, the way the light shines on him as he walks... ugghh BEAUTIFUL
the sand on the beach in THW when Toothless is drawing a picture of the Light Fury, I swear that sand is real. The animators went HARD and for what?? for the company to come in only a few short years later and decide that it is too unrealistic or not valid enough as an art form?? i'd be pretty upset.
3) This will cause unnecessary trends on social media. (This is specifically a rant that stems from my own lack of confidence, sorry in advance) Look, I hate to say it, but I naturally gatekeep stuff. I like to feel unique and like my interests are my own, so it pains me when the internet will find something niche that I love and ruin it with unnecessary trends. For example, I love Avatar, (yes... the "blue one" :/). So for years, the fandom was kinda controlled, I appreciated the artwork and content from real fans and honestly I liked when nobody even really knew the Avatar fandom was still going strong. But, with the release of The Way of Water, all of a sudden, everyone on TikTok and Instagram became the biggest fans ever or at least pretended to be. One of my friends is an aspiring makeup artist and she did the Na'vi look despite never having seen either movie. All of a sudden, this special thing I was interested in, blew up. That is what is going to happen to this fandom at least for a while. I won't be able to find real fans because everyone will just post all kinds of things and create new trends using John Powell's music. I'm all about getting new fans and being welcoming to actual fans. But it won't be all fans, it'll just be content creators needing to stick with the trends. People who haven't seen any of the HTTYD films since they were children are going to act like they've been waiting for this moment their entire lives. Idk, I'm kinda cynical, if you couldn't tell. I truthfully like ppl actually becoming fans and I don't want to discourage that, but I don't want to lose the real fans to the internet trends. and I am afraid that I will. At least for a few months after the release.
4) Dreamworks only really exists as a middle-finger to Disney. With Disney really sucking it up with their live actions in the past few years, and Dreamworks KILLING it with their new and exciting animated movies (Puss in Boots anyone??), I really thought they would continue trying to capitalize on honing their skills as animators. But, it makes sense that Dreamworks is trying their hand at something Disney does, but trying to make it better. I actually think Dreamworks will be better. I mean, we still got Dean DeBlois, which is a major win. Plus, in general, Dreamworks tends to take their time and create something actually good. So, I don't think the quality will be the problem, I just wish they wouldn't stoop to Disney's level.
5) We're wasting time instead of making a new work. Okay, let's say that Dreamworks HAS to create a live-action film. Create a new story. We wrapped up HTTYD with a pretty bow, now, let them sleep. Leave the story alone so you don't f- it up. Because as we all know, the more you f- around, the more you find out.
Look, as I said earlier, I don't think it will be crap quality or even a bad movie. I'm glad we get Dean DeBlois again and I really think that is going to make a huge difference. I'm not even upset by the casting of Hiccup and Astrid. I just don't want to lose one of my favorite franchises to watch it become a deflated, boring, bland reenactment that continues to be just another cash-grab. It makes me genuinely sad.
As long as the series is over, I feel like nothing can touch it. Nothing can ruin it. But, the second it is resurrected from the dead, it becomes fair play for anyone on the internet to regurgitate it and ruin the magic and now, this entire fandom is at the mercy of a few writers and one big corporation determined to one-up the competition as well as content creators looking for a new trend to get-in on.
Anyways, I love that as a fandom, we're all still here. I am proud that y'all are still making art and fanfics (keep going, pls). If we stick together, we can weather this storm. And maybe, if we all cross our fingers, we might get a decent new movie that is fun to watch and is respectful to the original material and is something us fans can approve of.

Iconic Bracket - Side A - Round 2 - Match Up 1



Propaganda
Kass
He is SO FLOOF and MY FRIEND and I miss him and his (not accordion) bandoneon playing and he's just a pretty blue birdie who is also A Dad of 5 girlies. Anyway, I MISS HIIM.
His theme is a banger and he gives you advice and helps Link out in the shrine quest and he plays really cool music. He's also a BBB, big beautiful bird. 🥰🥰
Donald Duck
we love one angry tsundere duck who will only heal you after you healed yourself
Like the regular D*sney duck but with 200% more Power of Friendship
Chocobos
You want to ride with your Chocobo into the wide world, into the sunset, after a wonderful camp meal you fall asleep under the open starry tent at the warm campfire leaning against the softest feathers of your Chocobo, you ride up on the hill with the rising sunrise, over the whole span of the world. You want to take your Chocobo's wings in your hand and dance with him across the meadows. You are both free and the world is at your feet. Nothing can take away your joy. Some chocobos can use magic, some can climb mountains, and some even have the ability to fly! The birds are mostly used for riding from a to b, but they can also be summoned to help and kick around in minor battles. If you need a certain character rather than a species, there is a Chocobo simply called Chocobo in the chocobo series. https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Chocobo_(Chocobo_series)
Staple of the Final Fantasy series as a whole, generally just silly :]

my thoughts on the pjo tv show (spoilers for episode 8) pt 1
i want to preface this with: I have exactly zero (0) beef with the actors themselves personally i think they all did a great job with what they were given and all gave incredible, heartfelt performances so 10/10 on that front. I acknowledge that the TV series was not made to be a shot-for-shot remake of the books, and I accept that.
also, i only watched it once through and don't really want to rewatch just to make points so i won't remember everything clearly so if i get anything wrong feel free to correct me in a polite, constructive way. that being said,
i didn't like it. shocker, i know. but hear me out.
I'm not here to diss the show or just spew a bunch of hate. I'm here to make nuanced points and arguments for both sides, but the general overall conclusion will be that, in my personal opinion that is mine alone, i didn't like it. Starting with the critiques:
In the months leading up to the show's release I'm upset to say that there was a lot of racism surrounding the casting of Leah Sara Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri, something that left me extremely disappointed in the PJO fandom as a whole. Annabeth being white has absolutely NOTHING to do with the story and it shouldn't have mattered to anybody when Leah was cast. I never pictured Grover as white in the first place, but even if I did, Aryan as Grover wouldn't have fazed me. My only concern was if the writers were going to get their characters right. (I had no concern about their acting abilities or their ability to portray the characters correctly. If Rick cast them, I have complete confidence in them as well.) As far as casting went, the only person I actually had any issue with was Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was the equivalent of seeing a d*sney channel actor on a serious show I guess? I couldn't take Hermes very seriously mainly because the whole time I was like "okay Hamilton". I'm not even a musical fan I just couldn't take him seriously. Nothing against the guy, it's just what my brain did. When it comes to casting, you have to be very careful about just how big of a name you cast. And in this case Miranda's presence just kind of stood out too much and ruined the suspension of disbelief.
Pacing. I was going to put this first as this was the main issue I had with the show, but I felt that what I had to say about the casting was more important. Every time they entered a fight, there was no sense of mystery. There was no build up to when they figured it out. There was no suspense. It was just "oh hey Medusa." and then they killed her shortly after. At first I had benefit of the doubt, and then the Crusty scene happened and I just kind of sat there like "...really?" The writers felt the need to balance "We don't need to reintroduce this, book readers will be watching!" and "New viewers who are unfamiliar with the source material will be watching, we have to reintroduce this concept" which in theory could have worked, but it always seemed to tip the wrong way at the wrong time. As a book reader, I feel as though I should not have been confused with the way the story was going, instead, the suspense in seeing exactly how they were going to portray something through TV, and how they were going to add to the story via visual format would change the storytelling. But I ended up being extremely confused in most of the scenes. I didn't see how things added up and I didn't understand most of the changes. It made the plot feel very choppy and random, like they were trying to add too much and in the process took away from an actual linear story, leaving me to watch a series of scenes rather than an even-paced flow of events.
Mischaracterization. Percy and Annabeth were really good, actually. It was very true to character and Walter Scobell and Leah Jeffries' acting really brought out the reality that they were 12. The characters felt very organic and childlike, leaving us with the hard truth that the gods sent literal children to the Underworld to retrieve the most dangerous firecracker of all time. Back to critiquing however, Grover's character felt very off. Grover is an extremely anxious 28 year old satyr who has the misfortune of having to be in middle school for the past six years. He's not timid by any means, but the way that TV!Grover interrogated Ares in the diner a) led no where, at the very least the scene felt unnecessary, b) felt extremely out of character, and c) kind of took away Grover's role as the protector of the group, as he didn't get to save Percy and Annabeth from an untimely demise from the Thrill Ride of Love. Chiron was also given a much smaller role, as he doesn't give Percy Riptide and his wise words of advice before sending him off on Half-Blood Hill. Sally. I've seen a LOT of controversy on the characterization of Sally in this series, so here's my piece. Sally Jackson is by no means someone who backs down or is submissive. She is an extremely clever woman who knows when to pick her battles. While Smelly Gabe may have just been around to mask Percy's scent, he was still a very real threat to her and Percy in their ordinary lives. I know everyone says that Sally is perfect, and I love her so much as a character and person, but we also as a fandom have to accept that there is no such thing as a perfect person. That's kind of one of the big points in the series. It shines a flashlight on the darker parts of peoples characters, to show that even the so-called "perfect" immortal gods aren't all the myths made them out to be. Percy is an unreliable narrator, meaning that he has certainly exaggerated certain parts of Sally's character because she's his mom. Some people have defended the scenes in which Sally raises her voice at Percy and gets frustrated with him with this argument. It's a valid thing for her to do! She's human! She's a single mom raising a son who has multiple learning disabilities and can't stay in the same school for more than one year. She has no living relatives and is married to an asshole! But Percy also stated that Sally never raised her voice at him, and he's never pushed her because he knows that if he does, she'll cry. They are both careful with each other. Which makes the car scene and the pool scene make so little sense. Book Percy apologized to Smelly Gabe because he knew that even if it was something he really didn't want to do, it would make his mom happy. Sally, although not stating the specific reason, actually did manage to explain in a patient way why she felt the need to send him away, which is something she continually brushed off in the show. Gabe. I've seen a lot about this as well, with some arguing that he should have been "more abusive" and others pointing out that that could be dangerous and triggering to put in a show. My take walks the middle line. Don't show Gabe's active abuse, but continue to show it passively. Instead of Percy walking to the window, have him walk into his bedroom, taken over by Gabe's stuff. "Oh, but Gabe's stuff dominated the living room!" Yeah but it was super dark and I couldn't see a thing. Plus, that's a communal space. Having it in Percy's room as well would've been a brilliant but subtle way of detailing what little respect Gabe had for both Sally's and Percy's privacy. (also what was up with the complete lack of Gabe in the last episode? I'm so confused by that-)
Dialogue, but Percy's specifically. I understand that most of Percy's funny quips are said in his head, but the "jokes" he made out loud just...weren't funny? Like the original lines from the books were, I have no idea why they didn't just take some of those. It felt like an adult trying to relate to "the youth" rather than Percy actually quipping. The other main thing I can think of off the top of my head were whenever he was speaking to a god. Ares made a little more sense because of his aura making Percy angry, but when he spoke to Zeus? Hades? Book Zeus would've smited Percy there and then. Percy at the very least starts respectful, beginning with formal titles and being as polite as possible. TV!Percy just immediately started arguing with him and it was more tense than any of the actual "battle" scenes.
The fights. Oh my gosh they were so underwhelming. Whoever green-lit the show had to know how action packed these scenes needed to be, and then blatantly ignored that fact. I understand that VFX teams are overworked and underpaid, but I also understand that the sarcastic narration and quick-paced action scenes were written to keep neurodivergent readers (hi) engaged, which made it very difficult for me to take any of the so-called "fights" seriously. In my opinion, if you can't, don't. And by that, I mean if you couldn't find the time to adequately pay a good team to do cool effects for the action heavy series, then don't make the show. (1/2)

pjo is so funny because out of the two main adaptations, one is considered one of the worst book adaptations of all time and the other is highly regarded among fans practically to the point of being considered better than the book. we really got the extremes at either end of the spectrum
#the lightning thief musical#pjo#percy jackson#i'm predicting the d+ show will be smack dab in the middle to complete the trinity#it won't be worse than the movie but it also won't be amazing#that's my prediction#i don't trust d*sney <3

in my house in mexico we would never decorate or get a tree or anything because we’d celebrate mostly with other family, so i always missed holiday decorations and the music and such growing up. then i moved here with my aunt and come december 1st she’s like *mariah carey voice at the beginning of all i want for christmas is you*
#i also have a huge flaw and thats the fact that i love christmas music and that i never grew sick of it working at d*sney#i LOVED having the spirit everywhere and getting to see santa everyday#i love heavy decorations it's just AAA the best

I was watching a video on how the music in Cats the movie is also terrible but before the guy in the video got into that he started explaining the plot to Cats and I didnt know a thing about it (other than the supposed orgy) but when he got into the meaning of Memory?!?!?! I cried real tears, I felt like Rodrick when he started crying in the theatre (also at Memory) idk the name of the woman that sang it for the stage movie but me and her are fighting because she had no right making me cry at 'touch me, its so easy to leave me' wtf lady, I'm trying to bake some cookies here
#i also baked some cookies :)#theyre hard though :/ idk if i had them in the oven for too long or if i should use more eggs and less flour next time#id really rexommend that video the guy so has a video on why the goofy movie is a really good movie and it comes down to the fact that as a#musical the choices made can be found in other d*sney renaissance musicals but its somehow better in a goofy movie??#idk like the establishing song in a goofy movie is also the i want song and goofys song is a villain song and the music halts at the most#tense parts like in mulan and the takeaway message is about compromise#the cats video was moreso how the director completely misunderstood the point of cats#how the music choices made it impossible on the orchestra#how jason derulo was the best one (because hes a dancer and understands you shouldnt mess with the beat if you want to be able to dance)#he said smth along the lines about how Cats is 2 hours of i am songs (whoch are typically reserved for the villains) and then an i want son#so the entire show hinges on the theatrics all the way through and then an emotional pay off with Memory#and like i said as someone who knoew nothing about cats thats really interesting#and the take away was gbat that shouldve had a dress rehearsal for the movie so the orchestra would have had Some idea what to do rather#than following the singers last second in the final shot#archive#avd speaks

VERY interested in most things d*sney parks and specifically Epcot, i love it very very much especially the millennium celebration period (talk to me about illuminations please ill cry and throw up). i'm pretentious about my music taste but i'm a massive AJR fan AND a huge clikkie so i don't deserve that big of an ego about it. also a big fan of vulfpeck, the beatles, porter robinson, and lots of other artists. i'm a big fan of wes anderson and david lynch films, and twin peaks (duh). avid collector of any sort of physical media (vinyl, cd, tape, blu-ray, VHS, laserdiscs if i could get a player at a reasonable price)
if this intro hasn't driven you away by this point, give me a follow! i'm always down to chat even though i'm often not very at doing that.

so... I saw gifs of Disenchanted which is how I knew it was released. So I went and watched it. Thoughts? It was.... pretty good. I guess. For a d*sney movie made in 2022, I was pleasantly surprised at how ~normal, family-centric, and agenda-free it was.
Was it as iconic as the first? No.
Was it maybe a bit disappointing compared to what I wanted from the trailers? Maybe.
Is it watchable? For sure.
Did it make me even emotional a bit? Yeah, I admit the stepmother/daughter bond got to me a little bit.
Was the music great? Ehhhh.... Sorry but I didn't think it was very interesting musically or lyrically, and a lot of it didn't quite work for me. The Girlbossing Villan Song straight up took me out of the movie. Like, I was trying to convince myself it worked but eh, I don't think it did.
I feel like the setup of the family being "unhappy" wasn't quite enough for me to buy either. But I suppose they were worried about writing the beloved characters in an unlikeable way pre-spell and tried to find a balance.
I also don't buy that the "castle" they bought in suburbia was a "fixer-upper" instead of the absolutely amazing home that I would literally commit crimes to be able to live in for real.
Also: Giselle is my feminine icon. My aspiration in life. My new dream. Amazing. I want to be her when I grow up.

Just because tw*tter has weirdos on it, I kind of feel more comfortable rambling about this topic on my own blog here.
There has been a LOT of discussion about the thing with D*sney, colorism, and L*lo&St*tch + H*waii lately.
And I'm glad to see the discussion on the table for people who are actual natives of H*waii, born and raised there no less, being able to shed light on a lot of issues that have been going on for a while. I've known at least a little bit about it for a year or so now, but some stuff I still obviously don't know because.
One, I'm disconnected from my own culture(sadly, I would like to actually know way more about it. I wish I could learn the language, but I'm someone who needs to learn in a environment that isn't a phone language app and none of my nearby family members speak the language, only ones who do are on the islands.), not because I am biracial, but because my dad was disconnected from his own culture because his mother's mother never had time to teach her kids anything since she had like fucking 13 kids to raise as a single mom. Also cause of other things that are personal family stuff I don't want to get into, basic of it is dad is an ass that further disconnected himself from his own culture and only cares about it when it comes to food and music. So, because of that, and I don't know my distant cousins very well on the Islands (I never get to go to family reunions because I'm broke, thx US g*vernment for making H*waii too expensive to go to, really love that) and my knowledge is VERY limited. I have to learn from others online.
Two, what I do know, I see gets easily buried under so many other things because the truth of the matter is. Barely anyone here on mainland cares about H*waii. It's just a fun, little tourist attraction to them and the suffering of the people, struggling to AFFORD to stay on their home land, is not important to them. Not surprised from what I've been hearing from natives that D*sney plays a shitty hand in the problem with t*urism.
Three, c*lorism really is such a big deal in a lot of places in the world, and it's shit that it's once again being painted loud and clear by H*llywood, but what else is new. I already knew this movie was not going to be a good adaptation, not because all of the ones before it were shit (they are I mean that doesn't help it lol), but because I knew modern D*sney doesn't know their own IPs very well at all. I mean, D*sney has always sucked as a company but idk I feel like they legit don't know the actual themes of L*lo&St*tch at all and how being native was a key part of the film along with the alien stuff. Just... man, I'm tired guys.
Real tired. I wish things would stick every time this conversation about the shit things happening in H*waii happen, but nothing ever really does stick that long. Just how things always go with natives of places.
Also, this is me @ all the people that were suing Ariel as an excuse for N*ni getting white washed
#if i smoked this is where i would take a long drag from a cigarette after posting this lmao#but smoking is nasty#might get rid of this post later idk#i just need to vent sometimes

AAAAAARGH
me and the girl im dating went to D!sney today and I had hyped myself up that I was gonna kiss her because it's 11/11/22 and that's a blessed date
I made all these plans that we were gonna watch fantasmic (nighttime show at d!sney) and that I was gonna ask her if I could kiss her during the "I See The Light" part from Tangled
I was convinced that this would happen
but then! of course! hubris struck me! about a half hour before the show, I was struck with intense nausea. we went to sit down to see if it would go away, but it didn't. it only got worse.
we hurried to a bathroom, but I didn't throw up. I ended up feeling a bit better so off we headed to fantasmic. she knew somebody who worked at a restaurant right there and they got us the perfect seats.
my nausea comes back in waves. I also realize that my throat is extremely swollen and tight, so I must be experiencing a minor allergic reaction to something. also, it's like 55 degrees out, which is FREEZING in California temperature
fantasmic starts, and my nausea fades a bit as I'm distracted by the show. but I know. I just know, that if I actually asked to kiss her, I would actually throw up right there. being nervous already makes me sick to my stomach, so I knew trying to do that would make it worse.
so I don't.
we sit and hold hands and enjoy the show, and I regretfully watch the perfect opportunity float away.
I'm still nauseous as we leave, and I'm nauseous now at home. I mustve gotten some sort of stomach bug or mild food poisoning. I still haven't thrown up, just still nauseous
AND I AM SO MAD THAT I DIDNT GET TO KISS HER AT THE PERFECT MOMENT
she was a really good sport about it, I kept apologizing for being a Debbie downer and she assured me that I wasn't and that I should get some rest.
at the same time though, I'm kind of glad it didn't happen. spoiler alert but even at my age of 21 I actually haven't had my first kiss, and I'm now realizing that it would probably be better in a chiller setting, where I don't have to worry about getting the timing right and all the music and whatnot
nvm. post canceled. universe forgiven.

musical! Margaret 1st costume design (left: with embroidered stars; right: without embroidered stars (bc I can’t decided which one lol)) in DMTNT musical concept
Not me gave Margaret Smyth the ultimate space mom rights to be appeared in my musical concept than D*sney does.
I have other character/costume designs for Margaret in my mind
The first design was inspired by Urania, Muse of Astronomy. According to Greek mythology, Urania loves to study stars and obsessed with the sky. Like her other 8 sisters, Urania considered the most beautiful sister and draped in a flowy cloak, embroidered with stars and keep attention to the heavens. She usually represented with the celestial globe and a compass to identify her in arts. This reflects to both astronomy and navigation in ancient world. As the muse, she can read stars better than anyone else and watch the movements of various celestial bodies in order to predict the future.
In the concept musical, I seen her more of supporting character to both Barbossa and Carina. I want to give more depths of her character, her relationship with Barbossa and Carina mentioning wanting to be like Margaret, a female astronomer in Age of Enlightenment and sobs over her being absent around. Also, Margaret was the spirt (because she’s dead) and alive in the flashback scene, once. As a spirit in the show, she convincing old Barbossa (note: hc he’s in late 70s or early 80s in the time of DMTNT musical) to be with her in afterlife after pining each other between life and death for so long.
