#ghibli goggles?

There we are~

Okay, I’ll bite: what would a Studio Ghibli adaptation of Tatterhood look like?

Well, first of all it would be based on a specific Dutch translation of Ruth Manning Sander's version of the story, and the sisters would be called Ragebol (head of tangled hair) and Berenice. Second, it would be all the Ghibli vibes and visuals

Wait, let me call in my sister @badassindistress:

random facts for my Dead On Main childhood friends au:

Danny's ghost form changed when he was with Jason in the ghost zone, and then reverted back to how it was after he died when Jason disappeared.

Danny as a human has blue-green eyes. As in, his eyes are blue with the lower half being green, and they bleed into one another at the middle. This is entirely because of Danny being a halfa, its meant to represent how he's no longer completely human.

In contrast, Jason's eyes are teal with hints of green. This is because he was revived. One half crawled out of the grave, and the other never left.

If you stare at Danny's eyes for too long, it sometimes looks like the green and blue are swirling together but never mixing, like water and oil. People agree that its very beautiful, but very unsettling.

Danny's lichtenberg figures as a ghost are black, and when he cries his tears float and disappear when they fall off his face. The tears have a thick, almost gel-like substance to them if you touch it.

Danny's ghost form is pretty unsettling - he fully embraced the fact that he died and in turn strongly shows it through his ghost form, plus the additional effect his grief has on his form. He's not who you would think of when you're told "we have a ghost hero protecting the city". he looks like someone the hero would fight. Danny usually keeps his goggles on over his face for this reason.

The black space on his suit, naturally, has stars on them. they shift and move as he does, and sometimes there are nebulae that swirl into view.

His lair in the ghost zone is an observatory, but like one of those fantasy looking ones that you'd see in some kind of solarpunk ghibli movie. it's huge on the inside, with a long hallway with polaroids strung along the walls, and doors leading into different rooms. The main room is the 'observe floor' with a large domed ceiling and furniture littered around near the walls, and more polaroids. Danny can press a button on the side wall to 'open' the dome ceiling and reveal a night sky above his head that he can float up into. some of these stars are danny's memories that play when you touch them. danny can move the night sky around like an interactive screen, and find new stars. This observatory has a hammock.

Danny's got his 'Kill The Clown' corkboard in his lair as well, it mirrors out into his apartment.

Oh. The hole in his heart. You can stick your hand into it. Or try to. Danny's gonna shove you back immediately though, because it feels weird. And also it's gonna leave a Substance on your hand that's gonna be really hard to take off, stains afterward, and has the consistency of semi-thick ink and oil. His tears are made of the same stuff.

Danny's Ghost Forms below (without his mad scientist goggles bc i forgot to add. them) Left is after he reunites with Jason (both times), and the Right is pre-reunion (both times).

⁎˚ ఎ Little! William Birkin ໒ ˚⁎

Well hiya! Can I please request headcanons for a little! William Birkin? I feel like I'm the only one who headcanons him as an age regressor

•Even as a little, William is incredibly curious about the world around him. He loves conducting "experiments" with everyday items, often resulting in messy but adorable outcomes

•William has a favorite plushie that he clings to for comfort. It's a small, well-worn teddy bear named "Mr. Fluffles." He takes it everywhere and can't sleep without it

•He likes to dress up in a mini lab coat and pretend he's conducting important research. It's a way for him to emulate his older self and feel important !

•Building blocks and chemistry sets designed for children are his favorite toys. He can spend hours building elaborate structures or mixing "potions" in his little lab

•His favorite snacks include gummy worms (which he calls "specimens"), apple slices, and cheese sticks. He likes to line up his snacks and pretend he's categorizing them for an experiment

•Before napping, he insists on being read a story. His favorites are science-themed children's books or tales of adventure and discovery

•In addition to his plushie, he has a small blanket with a DNA helix pattern that he finds comforting. He likes to wrap himself in it during quiet time

•Bedtime involves a specific routine : After a bath, he needs his favorite pajamas, a story, and a cuddle with Mr. Fluffles. Nightlights are essential, especially ones that project stars on the ceiling, as they make him feel like he's exploring space even while he sleeps

•The local science museum is his absolute favorite place to visit. He loves exploring the exhibits and asking endless questions about how things work

•He enjoys listening to soothing classical music or ambient sounds of nature while playing or resting. It helps calm his often overactive mind

•He looks up to his caregivers with immense admiration, often mimicking their actions and seeking their approval. They play a crucial role in guiding his scientific curiosity and ensuring he balances play with rest

•He enjoys drawing and making crafts, often creating detailed diagrams of imaginary creatures or inventions.

•He loves watching educational shows and cartoons about science and space. His favorites include "Magic School Bus," "Sid the Science Kid," and any animated movies about adventure and discovery!

•Birkin is very careful about safety, often mimicking the precautions he’s seen in real labs. He insists on wearing "safety goggles" (plastic toy ones) and "gloves" (his mittens) while playing with his chemistry set

•He has a small tablet or learning device with educational games. He enjoys games that involve puzzles, matching, and basic coding

just finished bingeing the first 4 ep of sousou no frieren and i gotta say, pretty interesting despite being technically slow, but despite being a slow anime, it's very fast at the same time.

the whole filter on the anime and the style of the background really reminds me of moomin, especially that old style filter they have on there. either very moomin or old old studio ghibli. The music and lack of music during certain scenes also remind me of moomin LOL

im very curious as to see where the anime ends up, and as much as i want to put on yuri goggles, i feel like its obvs more hinting at frieren x himmel (but you can't stop me from being on team frieren x fern).

i think it was a good choice to release the 4 eps all at once. had it been just 1 episode, idk if i'd be able to remember much about it because of its pacing, like i feel like i might forget about it and not watch ep 2 lol.

also. frieren is just a huuuuuuuuuuuuge tsundere. that is the show. (lol jk but u know what i mean)

art and animation is A+ though sheeesh love it. also fern is cute.

[zazter-den]

Top 5 anime not including BNHA. And if 5 is too little, then top 10 lol

Thanks for the ask Neon! Bending the rules and going with my top 6!

❖ Demon Slayer, is my number 1 anime for the animation and music. The way the techniques are animated leaves me on the edge of my seat every time even if I have to wear blackout shades for flashing scenes. But the music OMFG. There is only one person I truly Simp for, and that is soundtrack composer Yuki Kajiura. She is my Hans Zimmer, and has had my soul since .Hack//Sign OST, she's also done Mai-Hime and Madoka Magica. When I heard the Akaza theme I flipped my shit because I instantly recognized her work, and I can't wait to hear what she does with the rest of the series. If you haven't watched yet Do It- the art will surprise you. Not even gonna get into my thirst for Tengen and Rengoku.

❖ Blue Exorcist. Such a great show over all! Shiemi was so important to me growing up as chubby traditional girl. Seeing her and Rin overcome their challenges, really pushed me to be more myself.

❖ The Cat Returns Movie. I was weak for Cary Elwes' Westley in Princess Bride, and I love his dapper cat character in this. Kiki's Delivery Service is a close second- but this is my favorite Ghibli movie. ❖ Apothecary Diaries. Newly added to the list! Wasn't what I expected but I love this little cat-coded detective with a love for poison. Much more adult than I thought but if you're ok with darker content elements, you should give it a try! Also Jinshi's english voice actor is also Gojo. ❖ Kaleido Star. This was my absolute favorite anime as a kid. When I was young, I thought my flexibility was a great thing and was convinced I was going to join Cirque du Soleil when I got older (spoiler alert, it was Ehlers-Danlos). It hasn't stood up to the test of time as well as other anime. But I believe that with updated animation- this would do amazing as a reboot in the Sports Anime category. There's this one scene where the main character's lit by the rising sun as her costume transforms and it still takes my breath away. (AMV that has the best quality shot of the scene at 2:34) ❖ A Vision of Escaflowne. One of my favorites, I'm sure I have nostalgia goggles on (the actual series, not the Fox Kids slice n dice), but I feel this one would do *So Well* as a reboot with updated animation and va. An Isekai with everything: ancient tech robots, secret royalty, hybrids, dragons, alternate worlds, steampunk. I would be lying if my fantasy/barbarian Bakugo were not heavily influenced by Van's opening fight scene in the movie. This AMV does a pretty good job of summarizing the series!

hii, for the sonic ask thing ^_^

which sonic cartoon is the best and why?

Hmmmm if we’re counting all kinds of cartoon media, I HAVE to go with the Sonic OVA, it’s so quirky and fun and I adore the characters and world building. I really wish we could have seen more of that world and those characters. I rewatched it with my brother again recently, years later, and he was afraid it wouldn’t be good anymore because of nostalgia goggles but it was still so well made and so enjoyable. It’s not exactly canon to any other Sonic media but it’s like watching a Ghibli movie of Sonic, which is a really fun combo. Also I love Knuckles’ silly hat and he should have it more often.

TV show cartoon wise, it’s a hard pick for me. I grew up watching all of Sonic X on YouTube (imagine getting Sonic shows on TV here ;_;) so I have a soft spot for that fucker, even though I will fully admit that the quality is pretty awful at times, especially in season 3. I think it has fun characters and interesting original plots, while also handling its little Adventure mini arcs well. Fuck Chris Thorndyke though, all my homies dislike Chris Thorndyke. I know he’s, like, 8 but he’s suvh an annoying addition to an otherwise good show 😭. Sorry, 11 year old me has a grudge against that kid for how he acts in the first, like, 1.5 seasons at least.

I didn’t grow up with SatAM or Underground but I did watch them as a tween/early teen and got very upset when I found out Sonic Underground got cancelled without ever resolving jack shit :(((( This is, like, the only Sonic show that has super clear, stated goals that they literally sing about in the intro every episode, so it sucks that it never got to actually get anywhere (even though i can see why it got low enough ratings to be cancelled hshdhhdhs but I’m attached <3)

I like Prime, it’s fun and has potential, but its characterisation isn’t my favourite and I prefer 2D animation over 3D. I’ll definitely watch it as it comes out, but so far I can’t really rank it very highly in my tier list because it’s so short and I don’t trust Netflix not to cancel it, which really puts a damper on how much I can enjoy it :( However if Silver the Hedgehog is in future seasons it WILL shoot up the rankings immediately for that reason alone. I am very biased I love my boi and Sonic Rivals 2 CANNOT be his most recent appearance as plot relevant in something other than the comics.

So, uh, Sonic cartoon ranking:

Sonic OVA

Sonic X

Sonic Underground

Sonic SatAM

Sonic Prime

Sonic Boom

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

you are far braver than me and far braver than you may think you are. & your invitation is standing 🤍✨ (unlike our ghibli counterparts, we shall open our eyes underwater and see only mud and tadpoles and lily pad stems, but there's nothing wrong with that!)

hm. i refuse to accept that i’m braver than you, but i will begrudgingly accept your faith in me on the condition that we’re both brave or are at least trying our best to be. 🫶⭐️ (wait until i turn up in a pair of ~ prescription goggles ~ so i don’t miss the tadpoles and it’s so lame and ludicrous that you plead me to take them off OR politely pretend you’re not with me djdjd)

I had to stop what I was doing today. Peeled off my safety goggles and gloves, put down the hammer and pallet knife. Sat down by the laptop and immediately ordered stuff for my gran's birthday, fretted about rebooking my hotel for a recent event, plans with friends and family, the current remodeling on my bathroom and i wondered why i felt so shitty. And it's because i'm living a life without realising it. It feels like i've been wandering step by step without knowing that i'm climbing a mountain and not looking back to the admire the view for a few quiet minutes. Sometimes you've gotta remember to Ghibli it. Stop, stand or sit still, and listen. Even if it's your neighbours talking shit about Jeff's hedge just absorb the stillness. Been four minutes already and I feel hell of a lot calmer. I hope you get your four minutes of quiet today too.

What if Disney adapted Tatterhood?

Well then I would be very nervous, because I love Tatterhood. And my sister and I both agree that Disney shouldn't adapt it, but Studio Ghibli. That being said, if I put the (modern) Disney Goggles back on:

First of all, like most adaptations, the beginning with the adopted child and the beggar woman from Asbjørnsen and Moe's version will be cut, and with good reason. (It's very folkloric, but has no bearing on the plot at all.) Instead, the story will start thusly:

Once upon a time (in a place that looks inspired by Norway) there were a King and Queen who longed to have children and sought the help of a wise fairy (no, sadly she can't be a witch). She teaches them some magic and warns them that two flowers will grow, but that the queen must only eat one of them.

They (the king has to be more involved than in the fairy tale) do the magic and find the flowers. One is a beautiful rose and one is oddly bright, with strangely shaped leaves that scream 'magical'. The king picks the rose and the queen eats it, but likes it so much she wants to eat the other flower too, so the king gives it to her. Some time later the queen gives birth to twins. One is as beautiful as the rose and the other is going to give the concept artists an absolute headache.

Because Tatterhood has to look different and not-princessy, while still being Disney princess material, and they also have to avoid any racial coding at all cost (as many adaptations sadly do not). In any case, they are adorable little Disney children together and the sweet little princess - let's call her Goldenlocks - adores her strange, wild sister, who rides around on a goat (like Esmeralda's, her trusty animal sidekick) and wears a tattered hood. They grow up together in a lovely montage with a song about sisterhood.

The random witch infestation in the castle from the original will probably get changed to something a bit more coherent. Maybe a sorcerer will come to ask for Goldenlocks' hand in marriage, or a witch queen will come to demand one of the sisters marry her son. Either way, poor princess Goldenlocks ends up cursed. I don't know if they will give her the calf's head, that might look too grotesque. She'll probably turn fully into a beautiful animal, like a deer.

Tatterhood will demand her parents give her a ship, so she can cure her sister and she sets off with her twin, acting very Mulan/Merida-ish. Tatterhood sings a very catchy song while she swings in the rigging, about her need to be free and her love for her sister. She confronts and/or tricks the sorcerer/witch who cursed her sister and manages to uncurse her, but as the two girls make their escape a magic storm blows their ship off course as revenge.

They get hopelessly lost and end up in the harbour of a strange kingdom. Of course having the widowed king marry Goldenlocks and force his son to marry Tatterhood is absolutely out of the question. Instead there is kind old queen ruling the country, and she has two sons: twin princes. Princess Goldenlocks happens to see the youngest and falls head over heels in love. She's so lovesick that Tatterhood resolves to make sure they can meet.

Luckily the queen is giving a great masquerade ball to celebrate her sons coming of age. Goldenlocks and Tatterhood show up to the ball. One ridden on a beautiful horse, the other on a goat, one in a glittering gown, the other in an outfit that is meant to look strange and wild but can still look very fashionable.

Their appearance causes a lot of confusion, and everyone wants to dance with princess Goldenlocks, but she will not accept any dance unless her sister has a partner too. The youngest prince begs his brother to ask Tatterhood to dance so he can dance with Goldenlocks, he agrees, and so the two princes dance with the two princesses. And because Goldenlocks and her prince are smitten already, they dance the entire night, and the other prince is stuck with Tatterhood. There is a song for this, consisting of two duets split across the two couples, one of which are falling in love, the other are snarky and almost antagonistic.

Now this is not easy to resolve, because in the fairy tale Tatterhood makes the prince question her about why she she rides an ugly goat, wears and ugly hood and has such an ugly face, and when he does she tells him that he is wrong and she is suddenly more beautiful than her sister, more richly dressed, and astride a beautiful horse. This will not do for a Disney ending. In many adaptations it is implied that Tatterhood's sister has always seen her "true face" and that it is now revealed to the world, which is still a bit unsatisfying. And of course we cannot get rid of the beloved goat sidekick. The best ending I can think of is this:

Everyone at court is enchanted with Goldenlocks but scandalized by Tatterhood, who does not behave like a princess ought and looks so Different and Wild. They laugh that the oldest prince has to spend the entire evening with her while his younger brother gets the beautiful Goldenlocks and this makes the prince embarassed and sulky.

When his younger brother tells him he wants to marry Goldenlocks, however, he puts his own feelings aside and is genuinely happy for him. Of course Goldenlocks wants to accept, but says they must first go to meet her father and mother. The foreign queen wants to give them a crew to man their ship, but Tatterhood insists that she does not need one, since she sailed the ship all alone before. To prevent the boat setting off with just the prince and three princesses on board, the prince's twin insists he come too, since surely the sisters cannot mean to separate him from his twin brother. They indeed do not argue with that and the four of them set sail.

Now we get a beautiful sailing montage where the Goldenlocks and her prince are cutesy and in love, but the focus is on the older prince, who sees Tatterhood magically sail the entire ship on her own and whose wildness is actually wonderful and free-spirited etc, etc. Tatterhood sings a reprise of her sailing song and the prince maybe gets a few lines too, to express his slow change of heart.

(Depending on who is on the creative team, the evil sorcerer/witch might attack one last time while they are at sea. Giving Tatterhood an opportunity to go full warrior princes and team up with the princes to destroy them once and for all. At the final moment Tatterhood trusts the younger prince to save her sister while she and the older prince kill the villain, who now probably has the shape of a sea serpent.)

They arrive back at the court and the king and queen are overjoyed to see their children back again. If there ever was any preference for Goldenlocks, it is now gone, they embrace both their daughters with equal joy. They immediately give their blessing to Goldenlocks' engagement, but to everyone's surprise the other prince suddenly begs for another moment of their time, turns to Tatterhood, and asks her to marry him.

She accepts, either immediately, and they will have a double wedding to end the movie on. Or she will archly tell him that he can court her first, in which case he will accompany her to their siblings' wedding. (The prince's mother will be there too, of course.)

Either way the good fairy is present at the royal wedding that ends the movie, to give her blessing, and say something meaningful about magic and love and destiny. There will be a hint of magic around both Tatterhood and the fairy here, betraying that her power comes from fairy magic, and that she is actually the coolest fae warrior princess ever. Her goat is the only one who notices.

They all live happily ever after, the end.

Watching Totoro on Netflix with my boyfriend (Love Netflix party) and I'm not hopeful. I watched it like.... 7-8 years ago I think? And didn't really like it. Time for another shot tho

Decided to upload more Danny Phantom content! This time it’s just sketches though. I might add color to the others, but for now I kinda just like them as sketches. Also is it just me, or did Jack and Maddie kind of turn out Ghibli-esque? I had a real fun time drawing everyone’s hair, especially Vlad, Sam, and Maddie’s.

Also I wanna thank y’all so much for the comments you left in the tags on my Danny and Vlad arts! They all mean so much to me and really motivate me to keep drawing. I really appreciate it!
