#it’s a really good score

[frogalor]

I know it’s probably already been talked about on here (i just haven’t found it yet) but i fucking love film scores so much. Hearing bits and pieces of “I Can Do Anything” throughout all of The Boys season 3 was just perfection. It really set up that final scene and made it so much better imo. Thank you Christopher Lennertz

[inkskinned]

actually sometimes being neurodivergent is great bc you have a particular kind of Silly Mode that just . manifests glory. harmless fun is my precious side quest & i have a high score in whimsy. like okay if i gotta be the first dork in the dance pit it's gonna be me and this random toddler and we're gonna avril-style rock ouuuuttt

Since Peri has problems with flight does irep also have them or is he fine

Irep's a talented flyer actually! While Peri's wings feels heavy for him to use, Irep's are light as a feather. He's an expert at navigating the air, and can outdo even a Pixie in flight!!

This has made him all sorts of popular and unpopular among jock-like fairies.

Thank you so much lovely🫶🫶🫶

Oh goodness this is a hard question because I like way too many songs😂 though I am a huge Swiftie & since I’ve on my TOG binge have been listening to a lot of fan playlists so let’s let my history decide🤣 these have been in a heavy rotation:

“Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” by Taylor Swift

“Red Wine Supernova” by Chappell Roan

“Please Please Please” by Sabrina Carpenter

“Blonde” by Maisie Peters

“Can’t Catch Me Now” by Olivia Rodrigo

p.s. as always, no pressure tags :-) 💕

(Heads up for some tags: this is my main account, the side-blog ur probably used to seeing (as I’m more active) is @acourtofquestions I have a terrible habit of mixing up pages/conversations; so if ur going “who tagged me?” it’s just me lol)

Finally saw Megalopolis today. It's like Cats 2019 except every single person involved put their whole pussies into delivering the most perfect realization of Coppola's lifelong dream. One problem: his dream is dogshit garbage. Turns out having people who can tell you 'no, this sucks' is one of the most important parts of creating art.

Wow Platinum was perfect in every way though zero complaints give Aubrey Plaza an oscar

i think gamers dismissed the notion of keeping score in non-arcadey titles too easily i think. some games are a lot funner if you try to play them with score in mind

The Eternal Library / Melting Point

Part of a demo reel of a my fan-soundtrack for the Library's theme, Ulla & Donella leitmotifs, and the betrayal scene. Let me know if I should make more 7k "OST"!

The full "Eternal Library Medley" with two other tracks is here, thanks for watchin.

Ok so sometimes I see people claiming Oda originally planned for Law to be evil. Did he actually say that? I can't find much on it

This and "Law is Oda's wife's favorite character" ROFL

Videos like this might've been the culprit behind this rumor. Law being 'named after a brutal pirate and allegedly had terrible rumors about him', doesn't equate to "Law was meant to be evil." No matter how canon-coded it seems, something can't be called a "fact" unless there's a legitimate reference. So far, Oda has made no such statement about Law.

The video used a draft image to back the point that Law was depicted as "scheming and manipulative" during Punk Hazard, taken from OP magazine vol. 8:

Sanji's dialogue, roughly: "Your strategy is to go head on against Doflamingo and Kaido, and to weaken Kaido's military strength, isn't it? And we're *in it together* because we believe the outcome benefits us, as well.

What are you planning?

I don't mind going ahead (to Zou), but I won't leave my friends in danger."

Law: Sharp at bargaining, aren't you...

It's not from Punk Hazard, it was Dressrosa.

Not to mention in both draft and finalized versions, it was Sanji cornering Law, not the other way around. IMHO it didn't add or subtract much from law's character as we already know him.

It's very likely that Law was planned to be (more) morally grey and manipulative. But inflating it as Oda's statement makes it a misinformation. This fandom sadly has a lot of these, thanks to engagement farming content creators.

inexplicably sad about the loathly lady. I just can't imagine being brave enough to ask anyone whether they would prefer you be attractive in the sight of their friends, or attractive when they fuck you. that those are the only two options. I can't stop thinking about how there are many other answers to that question, and almost all of them are wrong.

I've been slowly making my way through Song of Strive through the Peaks of Time (I currently just entered the Crimson Highland), and I've officially adopted these two as my mine.

Enjoying the concert together with

the fallen ice cream!

[shalomniscient]

natlan 5.1 was batshit insane but i won't deny cookery when i see it. last 1/3 of the archon quest is just brilliantly done in my opinion, from writing to level design to soundtrack. just genuine excellence

Okay I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Leo has the most episodes that are mainly focused on him, which is interesting

This was a very interesting question and I wondered if that was the case! So I went and tried to take a look.

What I found going in is that Leo seems to be in the most non-Ensemble episodes, and the episodes that focus on him stand out more since they tend to not have the rest of the cast (as in, Hueso stands in as his other focused character, rather than one of Leo’s family members like most everyone else gets.)

Leo’s focused episodes also tend to have the entire Ensemble as supporting characters, again rather than the one or two other main characters that his bros and April tend to get. What is most notable I think is that while other characters have just about as much focused episodes, Leo’s (and Donnie’s) in particular seem to focus on their personal struggles more rather than just an outside conflict, so they stand out more than others in that way too.

Honestly going through the episodes it’s pretty amazing to see how overall even things are? Like even if some got more focus than others, the range is under 8 points for the four bros, which is nice to see.

Below is a messy and hard to read culmination of my research which undoubtedly contains mistakes here and there. Fair warning that this is based on my own memory and of episode synopsis and the like, and I didn’t include the movie but that one is pretty obvious. It’s also fairly subjective what one may consider to be a “focus” or not. I tried to take into account what happens within the episodes, so hopefully this is fairly accurate? Beware it’s long so I’ll put it under a read more-

Notes to take into account before the scores-

Full Focus means that a lot of time is spent with the character and they’re one of the “focuses” of the episode outside of an ensemble way. Example of this is Minotaur Maze which is both a Leo and Ensemble episode, but Leo gets the Full Focus while Ensemble in this instance gets-

Partial Focus just means that the characters are present in the episode and have enough focus put on them to differentiate them from the Ensemble. They have a notable part in the episode but it is not about them, and this can even include when they are directly involved in the conflict. And example of this is Donnie’s Gifts which is an Ensemble and Donnie episode where despite Donnie being the driving force, Ensemble gets the Full Focus and Donnie gets Partial Focus but-

Main Character is the scoring which takes into account whether the episode centers around a specific character or characters. Note than even if a character has Full Focus, it’s possible that they’re not the Main Character, and even if the character has Partial Focus, they can still be the Main Character. Main Character scoring does not add into how I calculated the-

Overall Score - aka the culmination of both the Full and Partial Focuses. Full Focus gets 3 points, and Partial Focus gets 2s.

Here is the scoring-

*’s (it’s not very easy to decipher what asterisk leads to what, sorry):

*1: Mascot Melee is pretty ensemble, but Raph does quite a bit in it

*2: Stuck on You is majorly ensemble but Raph is still focused on quite a bit

*3: Hot Soup: The Game has ensemble qualities, but is mainly Mikey and Casey Sr

*4: You Got Served can arguably be a 2 as well since major focus is also on Hueso

*5: Turtle-dega Nights: The Ballad of the Rat Man can arguably be considered more of a Donnie and Splinter episode so Mikey will get a 2 here

*6: Repairin’ the Baron - same as above sorta. All three of Mikey Raph and Baron have big roles to play in this episode but as they share them with each other, it’s arguable whether these 3s should be 2 1/2s.

*7: The Hidden City Job - despite Leo being the only main character really present, the main focus is more on Hueso and his brother

*8: Finale can be considered high for both Raph (he had a lot of great focus) Casey Sr. (she was a major part of the finale AND we learn her name) and especially Splinter (literally everything he did tbh)

Main findings for this are than Raph and ESPECIALLY Mikey deserve more episodes tbh. I hope I didn’t miss any episodes, but it was a bit difficult to keep track of everything haha.

Ratchet hums.

Listen, he doesn't feel like he kind of guy... mech? To burst into song, but I feel like he hums, wether it's an old cybertronian melody, one of Miko's performances or whatever's on the radio. I dunno, feel like he hums and doesn't even realize it (no one points it out). It probably helps him focus, even if he'll never admit to listen to human music

It's all fun and games until he gets a song stuck in his head so he makes it everyone's problem.

He once got a random song stuck in Optimus' head but bc Ratchet hums nobody knew the actual song, and it was driving haha Optimus crazy cuz he's been playing the same melody on loop for a week and Ratchet hasn't hummed since so he can't just ask and he's even enlisted the help of the children and other bots who tried but there's only so much they can do when Optimus only knows like 10 seconds of it. They all thought it was funny, until it happened to them, at this point every bot was affected by the "ratchet hum of doom" because Primus help the poor bot who got 10 seconds of a song stuck in their head for weeks because they stood too close to Ratchet when he was working. (Most of the time it's Optimus lol)
