another request from cohost! my friend asked for traditional inuk hairstyle like qilliqti, which is what i ended up going with! looking up the hairstyles sent me on a sidequest of looking at a bunch of fashion designers with modern takes on traditional clothes, so i also used some of those! so credits for that under the cut vv

Yknow? With the Xianzhou’s curse of the Abundance and the issues they faced with overpopulation and stagnation because of the undying before they began walking the path of the Hunt, there probably isn’t a ton of cultural pressure to get married and have kids which is absolutely wild considering how leaving behind descendants and the continuation of your bloodline is a whole big thing in Chinese culture
Am I the only one who doesn't understand what the stylist is thinking (and if someone does, please educate me), because the clothes and the looks in this drama are just not doing it for me.
It looks like something my mom wore during communism... the big buttons, oversized/shoulder-padded clothes, blazers and blouses, constantly hiding her neck with some scarf/turtle neck/whatever the purple thing is.
It feels like they are purposefully trying to make her look older, or hide her beauty, but why??? At times it feels like the make-up and hair are also created to make her look more haggard, I just don't know why they are trying to downplay her natural beauty, instead of accentuating it.
Not to mention how the dude looked better, when they tried to make him look worse. Now he looks like a basic undergraduate student...so young looking..
tiktokers be like “I am going to create the most beautiful, relaxing, aesthetically pleasing video ever, with gorgeous lighting, and deeply satisfying content”. …….. “and then I’m going to cut the video fifty thousand times in thirty seconds-”
Avatar2 made me actually insane. I could while watching it see the threads of like ten really good interesting character stories within it that all kept getting smothered under James taking three hours to wobble around so many points that I don't even know WHAT narrative he wanted me to take other than a rehash of "ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION AND COLONIALISM BAD"
I'm losing my fucking mind. It's like he used state of the art stunning visuals and tech to make a supremely shitty movie of a really interesting 20 book long scifi novel series that doesn't exist.
The entire movie was a repeated process of me going "oh hey there is a lot really cool set up you have here for- ok yeah. Yes James I got it. Yeah James...James I got the devastation and cruelty of exploitation and consumption. Yeah I got it when you spent ten minutes showing animals set on fire by landing ships it wasn't subtle James. I got it the first ten times so if we redirect over - wait why are we doing this plot point again?? James you did that already what about- wait how long were they with this island culture anyway???"
im going through all the modules of the project diva games to look at pretty outfits and I gotta say, it's definitely somewhat of a bad move to not have made new models for the characters in the 15 years that the franchise has existed
