My custom LEGO Emerald City is complete ✅

Probably about ~1800 pieces

I’ll be adding my custom Wicked Minifigures soon which I made from existing lego parts (since I’m not a fan of the minidolls)

ADHD/Autism Duos: Round 1, Side A

Matchup 8:

[aquamarine-dream-queen]

Going back to when I made some self-ship drawings last Sunday, I decided to do a self-ship meme after seeing one by @candyheartedchy with my top fictional crushes as follows:

Anna x Mikey (Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012) - Lovable Dorks

As one of my biggest fictional crushes, Mikey and I have a few things in common, like pizza, video games, a sweet tooth, a love for cats AND we enjoy having fun with our friends and loved ones! Plus, he's one of the funniest and cutest ninja turtles out of all four of the brothers.

Anna x Arthur “Artie” Pendragon (Shrek the Third) - Awkward Boy and Friendly Girl

Of course, not everyone agrees with Shrek the Third being a bad movie in the Shrek franchise since I find it a guilty pleasure not only because I love seeing Fiona with the princesses, but also because of my childhood crush on teenage Arthur “Artie” Pendragon. Yeah, I know how awkward he is, but that’s one of the qualities I like in my perfect man.

Anna x Greg Heffley (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) - Platonic Pining

Ever since I read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books during my childhood well into my college years, Greg Heffley and I go way back when my mom got me the fifth book, called The Ugly Truth and because I could relate so much to him, I got more of the books and even the 3-movie collection on DVD for my 19th birthday last year. But since the books as a whole mostly targets kids, the pining is platonic just to keep the relationship clean and family-friendly.

Anna x Corky (Snorks) - Height Difference

I love most of the Snorks characters all the same like Allstar, Casey, Dimmy, Daffney, Tooter, Junior, Dr. Gallio, Jo-Jo and especially Corky as another fictional crush. But since he’s no bigger than my thumb, he would be covered in loads of lip gloss when I shower him with kisses. Nonetheless, though, I love him for his courage and heart of gold.

Anna x Tin Man (The Wizard of Oz) - Tragic Past x Ray of Light

Because of how big his heart is, the Tin Man is always there to help me feel better when I’m not feeling good. But since he cries easily due to his sensitive nature and especially when he used to be human back before he became the Tin Man, I would return the favor by comforting him, which makes us the emotional support duo.

Anna x Fly (Help! I’m A Fish/A Fish Tale) - Friends to Lovers

Since I enjoyed watching Help! I’m A Fish/A Fish Tale as a kid loads of times, Fly, Stella, Chuck, Sasha and Professor MacKrill have been my favorite characters from the movie and just like all the other fans of this flick, I especially liked Fly and we’d fairly get along if I were in his neighborhood before crushing on him as he accepts my crush on him.

Anna x Balan (Balan Wonderworld) - Theatrical Duo

While Balan Wonderworld wasn’t exactly the best video game of 2021, Balan himself was another dude I had a huge crush on. He’s very charismatic, dramatic, playful and funny. Not to mention that we both love musical theater as a common interest and there’s a mutual respect between the two of us and his Tims since he’s incredibly gentle.

Anna x Balthazar (The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part) - Flirty Femboy and Blushing Beauty

Ever since The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part came out when I was 14 years old, I felt my heart skipping a beat hearing the soothing sound of Balthazar’s voice and mentioning that he’s an attractive, non-threatening teen vampire, plus he wears makeup and mom jeans and enjoys music. He’s one flirty femboy, which is seriously making me blush.

Anna x Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians) - Winter Twins

Going back to when I watched DreamWorks’ Rise of the Guardians on Netflix, Jack Frost, the Guardian of Fun by all means, just had to be one of my next big fictional crushes. He’s playful, just like me and we both have winter birthdays, despite being born in separate months.

The Dreamer of Oz

Okay so I was on a wizard of Oz kick. Idk why, I'm not a wicked fan. But the story is perfect for Logan.

There's no place like home.

So besides the actual au I've written where Logan is Dorthy I also had this idea that isn't actually going to be in the story because it gives Logan mercy and I am not a merciful writer.

Basically Macaque had sent a shadow clone to take care of Kai from a far in "Sorry we had to leave you in another universe". And I headcannon it was the same for Mk as a kid because I want it, I know he was dead I don't care lol.

So he's done this for his son and his grand son it only makes sense that when Logan is taken he sends a shadow clone with him just incase the worst happens and it of course does.

But this isn't a shadow clone it's a straight up clone who actually loses Logan. Oops.

So the Macaque clone gets a job at a music shop owned by an old man, old man dies and Macaque is just living under his identity and owning the music store. Little baby Logan comes in one day while mommy is at the liquor store and Macaque instantly knows it his great grandson. So he talks to Logan who at this point doesn't know what music is and shows him music. And because Logans Moms suck he goes to the music shop alot.

Then when Lunia dies Logan is looking at the pages of the prophecy and his family tree when he sees Macaque. So he runs to the music shop and confronts him. Macaque tells him mostly everything.

Now this is all cannon to "This prophecy kept you away from me".

This will all be in the story.

But heres there the wizard of Oz comes in. In my idea Logan was going to start spending alot of time at the music shop, so much so that Macaque should have just adopted him. And one night after dinner they watch the Wizard of Oz and logans just breaks down because there's no place like home. And he's never been home.

So for his birthday and every birthday after that until he goes home to ninjago Macaque would buy Logan ruby red high tops. And Logan would wear them every single day (because he didn't have any other shoes) ans whenever he missed his dads and wanted to go home to ninjago he would click his heels and tell himself there's no place like home.

Now I love this idea. But I need Macaque to have distance with Logan. Because Logan is supposed to feel this unbearable loneliness and that's what's going to make the reunion so dramatic and emotional.

So yeah this won't be in "This prophecy kept you away from me" but it's a cool idea that I love.

Please tell me your guys thoughts.

WRITING A COHERENT REVIEW OF SKINAMARINK IS HARD.

Song of the day: “Jack-o’-Lantern-Man” by the Bravery. 

Tomorrow’s my birthday. I’m going out to get vaxxed, then get brunch and dinner. I’m slowly redecorating my room, so I got some posters but won’t unwrap them until tomorrow. Also bought more winter clothes. Wearing black jeans rn. The first jeans I’ve worn in years. I don’t usually like wearing pants lol. 

Finally saw Skinamarink. Expectations were met. It blew me away. Like, an entire essay could be written on why I liked it so much. Watch it if you value aesthetics over plot in film. I do. 

At least when it comes to horror movies. I tend to watch horror and read (murder) mystery. Not so much the other way around. Whereas mysteries are plot-driven, horror media can either rely on plot or visuals/descriptions and be enthralling.

One problem I have with a lot of films is their cinematography. It often seems to take a backseat to plot, dialogue, and score/soundtrack. Which is why I love aestheticism. Well, that and symbolism. Deeper meanings are great, too.

I adore all the fan theories Skinamarinkers (?) are coming up with. Normally, “he’s in a coma” fanons bore me. But the dad said Kevin bumped his head, then the rest of Skinamarink is basically a hundred minutes of nursery nightmares. Faces aren’t shown properly.

MAKE SURE TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES. (Unfortunately, the director’s commentary doesn’t have those.) AND THE SHORT PROOF OF CONCEPT HECK BEFOREHAND. It’s on YouTube. If you like it, you’ll like Skinamarink. Also, it unnerved me a bit more.  

Skinamarink made me feel so many things. Excitement. Nostalgia. Sympathy. Nostalgia. Fear. Well, mostly just fear when the phone got those toony eyes. There are a couple jump scares, but the movie’s more about slowly mounting dread. Plus making viewers pity the protagonists.

I feel like I’m super biased towards Skinamarink because it taps into my nostalgia. The amount of media it makes me want to reminisce about... All those “child(ren) up against a bogeyman” stories.

Those parallels between the classic cartoons and what the Voice in the Dark does to Kaylee and Kevin. The same Fisher-Price toy phone we had. Classic cartoons that were on either VHS or LaserDisc, watched in our snug basement. “The Cobweb Hotel” creeped me out so badly as a kid. At least I had my great-grandmother’s elephant figurines to watch over me. Dad’s cuckoo clock, too. 

The commentary mentions there are some anachronisms, like with the toys. Skinamarink takes place in 1995, but has that orange LEGO brick separator from 2011. Which just makes it more personally relatable to me.

My family’s always been practical, using things until they break. I have a DVD player that’ll turn twenty next year. So it wouldn’t surprise me if someone else has the VHS player somewhere. The only movies I remember watching on LaserDisc were The Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But Oz is one of my all time faves and got watched a LOT. We had a bunch of obsolete or antique things and new things.

Going back to the toy phone… There was a Bruce Coville Magic Shop book that had a witch call the protagonist and her little brother on one. Jennifer Murdley’s Toad? And I’ve seen creepy art of Fisher-Price phones before.

Disclaimer: ED IS WRONG. CANADIANS NEED TO GET WEIRDER. I hope Skinamarink inspires people to make more weirdass movies.

even just from the trailers, you can tell how much love and thought and effort was put into the barbie movie by everyone involved. it reminds me of when i realized the lego movie’s character models had fingerprints and smudges and wear and tear on the “plastic,” or when i learned all the tricks and practical effects the crew of the wizard of oz used to have dorothy step out of sepia kansas and into full-color munchkinland in the same take, or when spider-verse came out and we saw how closely the animation style mimicked a comic book. like....yes please. more of this please.
