#its actually a sequel......

[spearxwind]

actually while im on the httyd topic I have something else to say. I really hate post httyd 1 toothless and the way the marketing took the design.

I know everyone has talked about this so much already but man it just really REALLY hits especially when looking at footage from the old movie again. the head shape being pug-ified... bigger puppier squarer eyes. almost no trace of the ability of actually having slit pupils. the erasure of his markings. the toning down of his night blue iridescent sheen in certain lights in favor of pure monochrome black... it is such a downgrade.

I think something the movies after the first one rly fail at is in making dragons feel fearsome. they just get reduced to cool pets and that´s just... weird imo. I know in the books dragons are pets too but they get treated as hunting dogs too. it would have been cool to explore that as opposed to just "huge as fuck dogs/cats that also fly"

they are creatures that have shared the world with people for aeons, hunting and being hunted. it´s two species going toe to toe head to head for centuries. a tamed wolf is still a wolf and wolves are dangerous. it's sad that we didn't get that. i know a lot of it is bc its a kids movie but man... man. let them keep a bit of their edge at least... its part of what makes them so cool. its part of the stakes of everything!

Swords pining for each other's cultivator is my new favorite type of pining. Love your NieYao content! <3

I don't suppose we could get Baxia or Hensheng throwing a tantrum while Jin Guangyao / Nie Mingjue are away, leaving their owners to deal with the embarrassing aftermath?

Also, do you have any recs you'd recommend with these two?

this is the exact moment Nie Huaisang realised he was going to have to start meddling in his big brother's love life (con't: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Hensheng, on the other hand, doesn't throw tantrums but WILL sulk...

What would it be like if B-127 became friends with Arcee and the cliffjumper? (I don't know if they appear in the film)

i ean they show a faint shot of Arcee but i didn't see Cliff... maybe he's there as a cameo shot and i just missed him. not sure

HERE'S TFO ARCEE!

and i think B-127 would be the closest with Cliffjumper and Arcee.

even though Cliff isn't as talkative as B-127, he is relatively chill bot so he'd be really nice to B. i think the two of them would get along fairly well because they'd look really similar and probably say something like "twins!" the first time they meet. Cliffjumper would also introduce him to other Autobots, B-127 wouldn't really know any of them since he's been in sub-level 50 for primus knows how long.

i think thats how he'd get introduced to Arcee. now idk which route they were going with for Arcee but from the few clips i've seen of her, she's really enthusiastic. so i think she would also get along well with B-127 because she sort of has the same excited energy but she's nowhere as talkative as him. it would be a sibling dynamic if anything.

of course i'm really sure, we don't have a lot of information on either Cliff or Arcee.

I’m gonna say it. The Well did not need to be a Midnight sequel.

Of course, there are similarities to Midnight: people turn on each other in the face of an entity that is semi-unknowable. But actually, that’s… about all this entity has in common with the one we saw in Midnight. The thing in The Well doesn’t imitate, it doesn’t learn, it doesn’t possess. But it does straight up murder people.

I hold a firm conviction that the Midnight entity should not kill. A big part of what’s so brilliant and so scary about Midnight is the fact that people are so terrified and distrusting that they’re ready to throw each other out the airlock out of pure fear, not even knowing if the entity actually means them harm. The humans were the monsters of Midnight, at least as much as the entity itself.

There’s a tragedy to the fact that they were willing to kill to stop this thing that hadn’t even materially hurt them, that maybe there was never any danger at all except that which they created themselves. But, though The Well shares those elements of fear and distrust, the entity we see there is undeniably a clear and present danger to life. It’s a slightly different type of horror, and one that doesn’t quite fit with this being the same entity we saw in Midnight.

Boruto would be 1000% better if Sasuke left Konoha for months at a time but visited in-between them.

If we want ss to actually be a proper relationship Sakura and Sarada can travel with him once a year so they actually like. Have a real relationship. Probably should happen during March so he's there for some important dates. Sakura could spread medical ninjutsu and heal poor villages, Sarada could learn about other cultures and actually have a whole family. Sasuke doesn't have to be in a village that activelly assisted in the ethnic cleansing of his clan for long at a time and can replace the memory's of empty houses and ghosts with spending time with family and hanging out with his friends. Then he can leave after a week or so when it gets a bit stressful.

Also i think they should get a cat.

There we go! I fixed Boruto. Everybody clap for me now!!!

Last night I dreamt we got dropped 2 surprise trailers and a clip for the next Super Mario Bros movie.

The premise was that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach got teleported 200 years into the future by a mysterious energy field while fighting Bowser (it had been implied he'd escaped his captivity at some point.) They found themselves in a chaotic world of destruction and decay, and came to discover every section of the world was being guarded by an adult, Bowser-sized Koopaling, who was still under the command of an elderly, now all-powerful Bowser who resided in The Darklands.

There were complaints that... while the film did look good... it felt like they skipped over an entire extra movie in the middle to flesh out Mario as a hero, establish how Bowser escaped, and properly introduce The Koopalings as we know them.

To offset this, Nintendo released a full-color manga to fill the gap between the two movies, but apparently it was really hard to get ahold of. I could barely find anything of it except one or two images online, and an incomplete version of the manga via an extremely lucky thrift store find.

My Headcannons for how Infected and Kasper operate

Buckle up, this is a long post. Thinking about how characters function in relation to the world around them is basically a hobby of mine, so expect more. (I have others planned for both lampert and unpleasant at the very least)

(Not ship related) (angst heavy sorry)

Kasper’s infection is a brain-rooted/cognito-hazardous parasite

He got it after purposely ignoring a chainmail curse, both as a sort of “fuck around and find out” as well as an outright form of self-harm/self-sabotage.

The parasite is the one that primarily controls all the conscious actions of infected, while kasper now acts sub-consciously.

Its less of a split-mind situation and more of a Venom + Eddie or Gundam + Pilot situation they are two separate entities inhabiting the same body that can potentially act at the same time

It just so happens that the parasite from the chainmail curse has VERY similar desires/interests/motivations to Kasper, so the host/parasite relationship actually works very well.

Infected accidentally makes Kasper lose a decent chunk of weight after it takes over, due to it not being able to feel when Kasper is hungry and forgetting to let him eat

Kasper and Infected can be addressed separately (Lampert, UnpleasantGradient, Folly and maybe a few others know this) and Kasper tends to choose not to respond due to his own apathy, instead opting to let Infected take the lead.

Being able to respawn/no permadeath on the regretevator is the reason why Kasper opted to infect himself, as he saw it as the next closest thing to death/suicide.

Allowing infected to enter his mind has radically reduced Kasper’s lifespan. (He’d be lucky if he made it to his late 30’s)

His nose bleeds when Kasper and infected try to act at the same time

Infected is only transferrable via chainmail

Infected doesn’t feel any of the bodily necessities that kasper has, so its not uncommon for him to collapse of exhaustion, dehydration, hunger, ect. If someone doesn’t remind him.

Infected doesnt feel pain either

Kasper feels it though. A lot.

In fact the whole process of infected entering his mind was incredibly painful as is.

Infected isn’t the reason why things in the elevator/on his own body suddenly lose their texture, neither of them know why that happens now.

They personally aren’t physically effected by it and both find it cool, so neither are bothered.

It’s probably just the result of infected’s malware (thats only technically supposed to effect machines) managing to attach itself to a human. Or maybe Kasper could do that and never previously knew. Who knows. ;)

Kasper/infected can phase through objects that are textureless, including parts of his own body. Anything else will collide as it normally would, and take damage.

Infected will always talk with full leetspeak, (L13k D1$) while Kasper will only have one letter/number substitution (L1ke Th1s)

UG unintentionally named infected that. Basically just looked at Kasper, who had just let a parasite into his mind, and looked at the chainmail virus on his computer, and it went “huh… Bro’s Infected”

Bro is, in fact, infected.
