the way Taylor Swift puts out like ten different versions of the same album where there's like one or two new songs on each is so fucked up 💀
#im not talking about (taylor's version) albums ofc#but like there's four versions of midnights cover art alone and then all the 'editions'#and she has merch for literally anything like towels rugs shower curtains and shit#no wonder shes swimming in money#idk if the editions exist in physical formats but even if they dont its literally a trick to get you to stream the albums more#like she could release the songs as singles or eps but no its midnight super duper special deluxe#idk its so. commercial.

forgive me if this is equivalent to a "cornplate tweet" but i just noticed that drv3's setting as a school in poor condition acts as a symbol of franchises dragging on so long for the sake of commercialization to the point it becomes a shell of its former self. the setting being a school that is not only old enough for it to become broken and fragile but also for nature to take over it, plus despite what makes the building recognizable as a school fading away, it continues being used as a school? the school is representative of franchises in general but especially the in-game danganronpa series, with the nature burying the building by time hinting at the franchise's (unnecessary) longevity and it becoming history, while the fragility of the building represents how a franchise's identity becomes fragile itself due to the charm and depth it was once defined by fading away due to the series being dragged out.... i love the drv3's setting even more now
#this was probably the most obvious thing ever but i admit that i dont focus on That commentary as much as the commentary on#fiction and lies & truth. so my eyes were opened too late....#ive always loved the drv3's setting. its so unique to me and its pleasant to look at. but also its clever!!!!!!!!!!!!#ive always thought it was clever in the “oh the building is old like danganronpa”#but i never really considered more to it until recently! Maybe im looking into it too much idk#drv3#danganronpa v3#sunny's thoughts#sunny.txt#dr thoughts#danganronpa#edit: i think using “commercialization” was maybe the wrong word? but at least people are getting what i mean!

rewatching squid game. why on earth did everything that happened to this show happen
#why of all the shows did this one become so outstandingly popular with 6-12 year olds on roblox. imagine if elementary schoolers decided to#suddenly get into idk breaking bad instead and people were buying mike ehrmentraut costumes for their little timmy#its just so. 1 the show itself is so antiethical to the crazy commercialization that happened and 2#how did kids even get exposed to this as a concept it is so hyperviolent and adult not just in a content warning way but#in a “there are higher concept themes and awareness of media analysis required to understand the show” way#.txt

random but one thing we love about american girl dolls is that they aren't super skinny. like how most other dolls like barbie dolls have an impossible body type but ag dolls just sort of feel Normal
#hard to explain? like idk dolls for children having super 'idealized' bodies doesnt feel great#because the point of the dolls is thats what a child will sort of aspire to be or want to be#like the whole point of the main barbie line is like. a figure for girls to look up to#so that figure being incredibly skinny and having a perfect face and all that feels. bad#but ag dolls feel much more like a companion#like as a kid we did look up to those girls! even when we were slightly older than them!#but they were ultimately attainable and felt more like a really cool friend#idk just been thinking about how ag had a very positive impact on us and barbie was always very#superficial i guess#and its sort of sad looking at ag now and seeing how... commercialized it feels? like it feels like theyre barbie-fying it idk#(obvs ag isnt a perfect company and is still a business but its def our favorite doll brand)#confluence.txt

I do not understand crooked teeth slander. They are so cool to me. Hot even.
#jeffrey combs your bottom row of teeth looks very good <- normal thing to say#idk man its just... so lovingly human? to have crooked teeth? as long as it doesn't hurt!!#also. tooth gaps. chipped teeth. teeth that aren't white. there are so many variations that are completely natural and harmless#i prefer these over the straight white teeth smile you see in commercials any day#vin rambles

have you watched the pjo show?
I saw the first 2 episodes when they came out at a watch party one of my friends threw, and as soon as they ended I realized I didn't particularly care to keep going. It wasn't like, outrageously bad by any means, I just don't think it gripped me enough to want to continue, and there were enough odd adaptational choices that I thought weakened the story that I lost interest. I might have tuned back in if the changes actually built to something interesting in the later episodes, but from everything I've seen it kinda seems like they just took the teeth out of the story, which was what I was worried about.
That being said, the cast seems really great and well suited to their roles, so like, if they improve the writing and pacing in the later seasons and stop sanding down all the rough edges, I might pick it back up. But otherwise, pass.
#im like famously bad at watching tv tho so me not wanting to continue is less dramatic than it probably sounds#i just don't really watch it casually anymore so I'll only follow along with shows that i really really like#i got another ask about the show a little while ago and i was like 'oh ill answer that once ive caught up' and then i never caught up so#sorry to whoever sent that i wasn't ignoring you i just never got to the ep you mentioned#like if I'm trying to be optimistic. given how quickly shows get canned if they're not immediately super popular. and given that this is a#disney product. its possible that once the show proves it can be commercially successful and the characters get older they might stop#playing it so safe and boring and bring some of the harder and more complicated elements back in. and like. that won't fix what they've#already fumbled but it will at least make the story better and more interesting. but idk how likely that is esp since#rick riordan seems totally on board with all the changes and it sounds like he doesn't really get why they diminish the story#like i feel like they're thinking too much about whether or not a change has a huge impact on the plot and not enough about how it#impacts the characters and the overall theme and vibe of the story. if that makes sense#like sure we still got from point A to point B in roughly the same way but that trip means something different for the characters now#and if you do that enough times you end up with a completely different result at the end even if we're technically in the same place#percy jackson show#asks

ok yall some of you are a bit out of your mind i think like. yeah, barbie is a fun, enjoyable movie about womanhood that is pretty well done and really funny. however nothing this movie said at any point is even remotely revolutionary or very new or super bold and daring and i am not saying it has to be but some of you are kind of pretending like this movie reinvented feminism
#myposts#barbie#like sorry but that speech america ferrera gives thats like#'you have to be skinny but not too skinny you have to be a boss but not bossy' etc#was so chewn out i was kinda staring in awe of how they really put that in the movie as a hugely emotional point in the story#because like. this is such an overdone thing every even remotely liberal female comedian has done a bit about#and that was in every teenie girl show about growing up and thats overdone for even commercials at this point lmao#like i really liked this movie u guys but just because a movie is fun and for girls and about some girl power stuff#doesnt mean its like... groundbreaking in literally any way?#saw one person that was like 'im so mad at one of my friends who said its just corporate bullshit'#ok like idk how to tell u this but this is still also a huge ad for buying barbies idk how to tell u this#if you are defending the barbie ip and its legacy and whatever. the ad worked on u! congrats!#like you can enjoy a movie AND aknowledge that its made with profit in mind lmao

does anyone wanna discuss the nihilistic optimism across bowling for soup's discography
#like...its so aggressively happy and the bitterness towards emo music / soft rock ballads is soooo apparent#and its cynical in assuming that sad/angry music is coming from some commercial aspiration instead of a genuine emotion#which is interesting cus i feel like the typical conversation is usually reversed? where happy music is cynically assumed to be commercial#idk its interesting#i was OBSESSED with this band in middle school#and this kind of cynicism was EXACTLY how i felt#Spotify

Big Wolf On Campus was such a great show! :D
Oh my Gosh, you watched it? People i know look at me like i have 5 heads when i bring up things i used to watch.
I think I used to watch a lot of the shows airing on that channel back in the day.
The kind of annoying show Angela Anaconda I believe was on that one, and like strange days at blake holesey high? which i think was canadian (rumored to have daniel clarks brother in it) and I saw a familiar face from one of those RFR or degrassi era crossover kinda kids on (or from lifetime movies), also a music driven talent kind of show with fergie's band wild orchid (? for clarity) which was pre-black eyed peas on most saturday mornings. i recall that show being ultra corny tbh, cringier than star search from the 90s, and lastly i remember some show about s club (a band at the time) where they'd sing and have random adventures in miami, florida for some reason and they're like European with thick euro accents but high energy singing and such, i loved them and was obsessed naturally, and still bop to them if they come on spotify.
At night like on my dinky vhs tapes, i would tune in or record movies like Casper meets Wendy (with a young Hilary Duff) or whatever they had on, during their October blocks of Halloweenish shows and films which they still do when they changed over to ABC family & now more recently Freeform.
Aw so nostalgic right now, such good times in the late 90's and early 2000's. Thanks for messaging me, I don't feel so alone in remembering that show.💌😊
#asks#stardustviolet#💌 tysm for the ask#i guess i wanna say with all this remember: i may love a lot shows made by canadians and stuff but i live in the USA lol#and like idk if these shows were made for us audien or were like brought to use thru merger like with the-n/teennick or viacom/abc idk tbh!#no clue tbh but yeah i'm american so i saw this stuff on cable#2000s#shows#tv#abc family#fox family#tadio disney used to play a lot of the music from these shows#especially sclub#i guess they had a deal with their record compay#idk if there were commercials#i no longer have those tape recordings#if i still do i have no vhs or why to convert#none of these shows are steaming haha#but like its just funny that some people share similar memories!#my friends and i used to make up dances for sclub songs when it was on#like we had legit crushes on the dudes#cringe#90s/00s era fox/abc family/freeform was so different/low budget than it is now#still plays 700 club at night and then i switch channels lmao idk don't wanna know! why do they do that?#might wanna rewatch the fosters soon though my bf and i were talking about it yesterday

this shoudve made the movie soundtrack
#i didnt really like barbie all that much#but i also. wasnt expecting to#i liked elements of it (ryan gosling funniest man alive atm)#but overall it was just. kind of boring and fell flat#and its a shane its hard to find legitimate critisism of it#bc theres sm reactionary conservative crap#but it was just. the definition of 'self awarness is not a virtue'#like yeah you made a comment abt how margot robbie is pretty so the beauty standards commentary feels silly#and you present critisism of your product as an over zelous 13 year old who comes around#and the commentary on mattel as a brand feels so fake bc it is!!! they signed off the script#and nothing drastic gets said#bc social problems are good and trendy so you can’t not put them in#but it’s just. capitalism will eat everything even the criticism of itself#and in the context of this concerning trend where every not feminine woman is accused of internalized misogyny#the only way out of which is to conform and become feminine#a movie like this is borderline disturbing in some ways#idk i wasn’t really expecting much bc 1. it’s a glorified toy commercial 2. it’s greta gerwig#but the way it’s being framed as a feminist piece of media… be for real#verilybitchy made a great video on it#📓

i have many thoughts in general but this tidbit from tingyun's voice lines is one of the things i wanna elaborate some more on at some point...
" Every time I head out, I leave a letter behind and lock it in the drawers of my shop. If I come back, then I'll burn it later. If I don't... then it'll be something for others to remember me by."
#OOC.#this post is more of a reminder to myself before i go try to write some stuff for nat and/or stelle#but idk i like her concept of being pacifistic despite the inherent dangers of her position as... basically a galactic ambassador?#it says that most reps take weapons with them but she refuses to because she believes that you should build relationships from a foundation#of peace instead of threat of violence#which has worked in her favor but idk its kinda sombering knowing that she basically leaves her last words in a letter every time sh#e leaves for another planet to do her job because she knows shes leaving herself vulnerable if somebody wanted to do something to hurt her#and she burns it every time she comes back only to rewrite it again months later when she goes on her next trip#xi.anzhou's lore is ROUGH dont get me wrong but theres a lot of fun concepts in there that im smashing together LMAO#also her traveling the way she does opens up so much room to meet literally anybody#its just jarilo-vi right now but as more worlds open up it just gives her more room to work with#also the fact that it opens up a lot of possiblities for world building for her to come to these planets because she's there ON business an#trade & commerce is one of the BIGGEST things a society needs. one decision could steer the entire direction of their society in a complete#y different direction#like even just introducing more leisurely/hobby focused products can be a huge turning point for a war stricken world#or better materials for their tech and their buildings#new crops in exchange for what they have#literally the exchange we see in her lore is her discussing taking just a few samples of a world's plants and growing it on xianzhou for#commercial sale AND that world would recieve shipments of said crops along with wahtever other deals they struck#and blablabla yes i know capitalism whatever. tis the way of the world and i think its really interesting frmo a worldbuilding standpoint#tingyuns a very interesting character because she can change a lot of things in very little time in the big picture#i feel like she's commonly brushed off as a shallow character who doesnt do much but she's one of the most accomplished characters in xian#zhou EASILY#yes you could argue that jing yuan is more because of his general shit or yukong is the helm master blablabla like Yes they are also very#accomplished but she is the literal only reason that the grand fairs are FAMOUS throughout the galaxy. they werent until she took leadershi#she's completed trade missions to SIXTEEN different panets and is implied to have formed alliances with at least a few of them#and was the one to renew xianzhou's mutual alliance with the IPC#i dunno#also i think people see her as way more of a trickster than she is#like ... i thought she was too but she really isn't particularly mischevious? girls tried to leave MULTIPLE times during the story bc she
