✦ Character Voice Tag 4 ✦

We're doing a voice tag to help introduce you guys to some new characters to my blog! Introducing: the Mulul Gang!

"The Mulul Gang" are the avatars of the Water Existential, Mulul!

I made some good general quotes that are good at encapsulating / introducing different aspects of the characters! Feel free to hop in and do a version of this for some of your characters, new or old!

Find their OC In Threes here!

Lines used: ✦ “Nice to meet you, I’m ___.” ✦ “Wait… you trust me?” ✦ “I trust you.” ✦ “Everything’s falling apart, everything’s going wrong—” ✦ “I got this.”

Your lines: ✦ the same!!!

Characters from the Mulul Gang: Zenebe, Mitzie, Coco, Lionel, Deirdre, Louhi, Alcyone, Meadow

CONTENT WARNING: implications of death and self-sacrifice (especially relating to death)

“Nice to meet you, I’m ___.”

ZENEBE

“Pleasure to meet you. You may call me Zenebe.”

(*grinning; if trying to appease himself to the person, would give a bow... which he doesn't break eye contact for*)

“May our acquaintance be long and mutually beneficial.” 😉

MITZIE

“... Mitzie.”

(*looks away*)

“Don’t expect me to remember yours.”

COCO

“Hello! Coco, nice to meet you! I hope we can be great friends!”

LIONEL

“Oh, uh… Lionel here. Yeah, yeah—Lionel. Because I’m basically a lion. Hardy-har-har.”

(*ears lay flat back as he snarls, showing off his fangs*)

“So original. I’ve never heard that joke before.”

DEIRDRE

“... Deirdre. It’s nice to meet you…”

LOUHI

(*bows head in a polite nod; offers a soft smile*)

“Louhi… nice to meet you, {Name}.”

ALCYONE

(*avoiding the gaze of the person; voice barely a whisper*)

“... Alcyone…”

MEADOW

(*curtsies, smiling*)

“Nice to meet you! You may call me Meadow!”

if with Alcyone:

(*bows her head politely and smiles, but holding Alcyone’s hand… and standing halfway between the person and Alcyone, like she’s shielding her from them.*)

“Nice to meet you! Meadow here, and this—”

(*gestures with her free hand toward Alcyone*)

“—is Alcyone. Sorry! We’ve really got to get going, haha.”

“You trust me?”

ZENEBE

“You… ha…”

(*awkwardly rubs the back of his neck and looks anywhere but at them*)

“... I don’t know how good of a decision that is. You should really work on your sense of judgement.”

(*awkward grin! Quickly changes the subject—*)

MITZIE

(*freezes*)

“... I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but don’t bother. Mind your own business and take care of yourself—and I’ll do the same.”

COCO

if she didn’t know/believe it before:

“Oh, um… I wasn’t expecting that… but…”

(*shakes her head rapidly, then nods stubbornly*)

“Of course! I got this!”

(*soft smile… whether she believes them or not.*)

if she knew/believed it was obvious:

(smiles weakly) “Of course. Don’t worry… I got this.”

LIONEL

“Oh! Um…”

(*awkward shuffle and fidgeting, can’t meet the eyes of the person*)

“Thanks, but… I don’t know if I’m as capable as you think I am…”

DEIRDRE

(*avoiding eye contact*) “I’ll… try my best to earn your confidence in me…”

LOUHI

(if known/expected)

“Mmm… why are you telling me that?”

(if surprising/new to them)

(*pauses, taken off-guard… but gives a gentle smile, whether they believe it or not*)

“Well, now I have to succeed, don’t I?”

ALCYONE

(*freezes… then tears up, pain written across her face. Voice breaking:*)

“I… don’t deserve your trust.”

MEADOW

(*puts on a sad smile*) “Then I’ll do my best to justify it.”

“I trust you.”

ZENEBE

“Listen, I—...”

(*can’t make eye contact*)

“... I don’t know how good of a decision this is, but I trust you. Whatever you need… I can help. Just tell me what you need me to do.”

alternatively:

(*smirks, giving a deep, sarcastic bow*)

“I’m your sword. Wherever you need me, I’ll be there. Just give me the order and I’ll carry it out to the best of my ability.” 😉

MITZIE

if recent/new connection:

“I… if you say you’ve got this, I’ll take your word for it… but, please. Don’t push yourself too hard… or get cocky. Cockiness gets you killed.”

if long-standing:

(*silently sits down with the person to read… and might lean into them*)

COCO

(*sits down beside/moves to hug the person*) “Of course; I trust you. You can do this!!”

LIONEL

if hesitant; likely in a situation where he's "abandoning" them to fend for themself... even though he doesn't want to:

“I… believe you. No—you got this! You don’t have to reassure me!”

in a similar situation, but confident in their abilities:

(*lifts them up with both of his right arms, placing them on his shoulder*)

“YEAH! You got this!!! LET’S GO {NAME}!!!”

(*parades them about while hyping them up and pumping his fists on his opposite side*)

DEIRDRE

(*very purposely maintaining eye contact, gives a soft smile and puts her hand on their shoulder*)

“You got this. Let’s go.”

LOUHI

(*brushes their hair from their eyes to meet their eyes with a more serious—but calm as ever—look*)

"I believe in you, {Name}. But... is there anything I can do to lighten your load?"

ALCYONE

(*tightly hugging herself… and fingers white from how tightly she’s gripping her own arms*)

“... okay. If you insist…”

MEADOW

(*meeting their eyes with a serious look*)

“If you say you got this, I’ll take your word for it… but, please. Don’t take on too much weight. If you need help, I can help. Just say the word, and I’ll be there for you.”

“Everything’s falling apart, everything’s going wrong”

ZENEBE

“Haaaa….”

(*leans back and runs hands over his hair stressfully, trying not to explode… but radiating heat and leaking steam*)

“Okay, okay, great. Fantastic! Fan-fucking-tastic!”

(*Stands up straight to grin darkly… but glaring everywhere he looks and still leaking steam*)

“Let’s get this over with.”

MITZIE

(*silent, internal screaming… scanning her surroundings and running through plans and possibilities in her head as she frantically tries to find a winning scenario.*)

if verbal:

(*voice uneven*) “I… don’t know if we can get out of this. I’m sorry…”

COCO

(*INTERNAL SCREAMING*)

“GUYS, WHAT DO I DO!? I DON’T KNOW—”

LIONEL

(*eyes wide and face drained of blood… though it’s not visible through his fur*)

“Ohhhh, Mulul… ohhhh no… oh, Existences—”

(*panicking, paces with his head down, in his hands, and petting his own mane to try to calm down*)

DEIRDRE

(*dark, bitter smile*)

“... I was wondering when everything would finally fall apart.”

LOUHI

(*accepting of their fate... but analyzing the situation to try to find ways to help everyone else escape. Aka... sacrificing themself to save others.)

ALCYONE

(*blank staring and silently crying… at most, will do her best to help others escape with their lives. Has already accepted it’s the end for herself.*)

MEADOW

(*internally panicking, but taking in everything around her and trying to come up with a plan to get everyone out safely*)

if verbal:

(*voice slightly uneven, but faking a smile… poorly.*)

“We got this. Just… take a deep breath and focus. {‘Calmly’ gives instructions on how to proceed}.”

“I got this.”

ZENEBE

if faking confidence:

(*cracks knuckles and pops neck, walking forward menacingly/with a cocky smirk*) “No problem.”

if being genuine:

(*cracks knuckles, but serious and clearly alert*)

“No problem; consider it done.”

MITZIE

(*even, empty stare*)

“Of course. Is that all?”

COCO

“Yeah! No problem!”

(*hugs!!!*)

LIONEL

if faking; more likely than alternative:

(*weak smile*) “Yeah! Don’t worry about me, I got this!”

if genuine, or more confident in his success:

(*grins and flexes his arms*)

“Oh, yeah, I can take care of that, no problem!”

(*winks like the goofy lion he is*)

DEIRDRE

(*takes in a slow, deep breath, quickly tying her hair back*)

“Alright. Let me take care of this.”

LOUHI

"Hmm..."

(*pushes their sleeves up and steps in front of the other person / blocks them from proceeding... so Louhi can do it instead.*)

"No. Let me handle this."

ALCYONE

(*takes a slow, deep breath, standing up straight and making herself look as confident as possible. Quickly creates barriers of light to block people from stopping her, and will write any communication in the air with light rather than speaking... like she does half the time, anyways.*)

MEADOW

if in a moment of danger:

(*stands up straight, puts herself between the danger and whoever she’s protecting, and bursts a wall of earth and/or plants behind her to further block them off. Glaring at the threat.*)

“Let me take care of this.”

if otherwise:

(*smiles slightly*)

“Don’t worry about me—I can take care of that.”

WOOOOO, the Mulul avatars definitely don't have a boatload of issues each! Nothing to worry about at all!

It's almost like, as I've (probably) said before, life as an avatar is both incredibly dangerous and extremely repressive... yknow... because you've sold your soul to a god that wants nothing more than to use you.

Aaaanyway, I thought these were good ways of showing these guys' general personalities! And, I'm ngl, I'm surprised by how diversely they all react to things, haha.

Who's your favorite of the bunch so far?

And want to guess who mine is? 😉

B-3 : Oscars 2023 Predictions - A Film fan's perspective (Part - 1)

The 95th Academy Awards, a.k.a. The Oscars®, will take place on March 13 at 5:30 AM IST. The celebrations of the Oscar season are at their peak. Amid the fun and excitement, here's a look at the movies categories and our predictions of the winners:-

Best Picture

Nominations: 

All Quiet on the Western Front

Avatar: The Way of Water

The Banshees of Inisherin

Elvis

Everything Everywhere All at Once

The Fabelmans

TAR

Top Gun: Maverick

Triangle of Sadness

Women Talking

Prediction: The Fabelmans

The Academy might favor a movie that exhibits the love for cinema through the eyes of one of Hollywood's most-respected directors - Steven Spielberg. Either originally-written movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin can give tough competition.

Best Director

Nominees:

Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once

Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans

Todd Field, TÁR

Ruben Östlund, Triangle of Sadness

Prediction: Steven Spielberg

Spielberg would be the rightful winner for it. If it happens, he would be the third person to win three directing Oscars - after Frank Capra and William Wyler.

Best Original Screenplay

Nominees:

The Banshees of Inisherin – Martin McDonagh

Everything Everywhere All at Once – Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert

The Fabelmans – Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner

Tár – Todd Field

Triangle of Sadness – Ruben Östlund

Prediction: The Banshees of Inisherin/Everything Everywhere All At Once

Unlike the first two categories, the Daniels and Martin McDonagh would be fighting for this award. It's the fight between the battle of multiverses & the conflict between two friends.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Nominees:

All Quiet on the Western Front – Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson, and Ian Stokell (based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – Rian Johnson; based on characters created by Johnson and the film Knives Out

Living – Kazuo Ishiguro (based on the original motion picture screenplay Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto, and Hideo Oguni)

Top Gun: Maverick – Screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie; Story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks; based on the film Top Gun written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr.

Women Talking – Sarah Polley (based on the novel by Miriam Toews)

Prediction: Women Talking

Women Talking would be the ideal winner for the film adaptation of the atrocities by men against women (inspired by the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia).

Best Actor

Nominees:

Austin Butler – Elvis as Elvis Presley

Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin as Pádraic Súilleabháin

Brendan Fraser – The Whale as Charlie

Paul Mescal – Aftersun as Calum Paterson

Bill Nighy – Living as Mr. Rodney Williams

Prediction: Austin Butler/Colin Farrell/Brendan Fraser

Fraser's portrayal of an obese, depressed man can bring the Academy in his favor. He would compete with Austin Butler's portrayal of the King of Rock n' Roll & Farrell's character of an Irishman betrayed by his best friend (both actors won this year's Golden Globes).

Best Actress

Nominees:

Cate Blanchett – Tár as Lydia Tár

Ana de Armas – Blonde as Norma Jeane Mortensen / Marilyn Monroe

Andrea Riseborough – To Leslie as Leslie Rowlands

Michelle Williams – The Fabelmans as Mitzi Schildkraut-Fabelman

Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Evelyn Quan Wang

Prediction: Cate Blanchett/Michelle Yeoh

It'll be the fight between Blanchett's complex character of an orchestra conductor & Yeoh's role of a superwoman protecting the multiverse from her daughter.

Best Supporting Actor

Nominees:

Brendan Gleeson – The Banshees of Inisherin as Colm Doherty

Brian Tyree Henry – Causeway as James Aucoin

Judd Hirsch – The Fabelmans as Boris Schildkraut

Barry Keoghan – The Banshees of Inisherin as Dominic Kearney

Ke Huy Quan – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Waymond Wang

Prediction: Ke Huy Quan

This one's gonna go to Indiana Jones' sidekick - Short Round, i.e., Quan - for playing a kind and friendly person to his wife in different universes.

Best Supporting Actress

Nominees:

Angela Bassett – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as Queen Ramonda

Hong Chau – The Whale as Liz

Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin as Siobhán Súilleabháin

Jamie Lee Curtis – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Deirdre Beaubeirdre

Stephanie Hsu – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki

Prediction: Angela Bassett

All hail the Queen Mother!!! Bassett's likely to take the trophy home for portraying the grieving mother of the late Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa.

[wormvill]

January 1st, 2023

A new year, and a new animal crossing (semi)daily diary blog!

Welcome to Wormvill! (Supposed to be Wormville, however, it had character limits!)

Woah! Look at the crunch. I guess it wasn't THAT crunchy on TVs that used to run Animal Crossing: City Folk (It DOES output at 720p) but on my 1080p monitor, it looks a little polygonal-like. Oh well.

Wormvill lives on my computer's hard drive, running off of Dolphin Emulator. As much as I would love to play on my Wii, there would simply be no way to get any images for me. And it would be a little anti-climatic to have a faraway shot of a tv, wouldn't it? (Though some of the images you see today will be pictures of my monitor, how hypocritical of me).

I guess we should get into the rundown of how today went, shouldn't we? Let's begin!

We start our game by talking to Rover. Rover is a face you'll probably recognize if you have played any Animal Crossing game (before New Horizons). His primary role is to set us up, and make fun of us for our poor planning skills.

Did I mention poor planning? Yes, we are moving to Wormvill with 0 money, 0 housing, and 0 friends!

Dreamer? Why yes they do Rover, and what would a dream be if it did not include poor life decisions?

We answer Rover's questions and get an avatar featured above. Though with a yellow pawprint t-shirt. Leo is all ready to move to Wormvill!

Walking to town hall, we meet Pelly!

She welcomes us, and directs us to choose one of four houses scattered across town,

and as seen by the orange one, we picked that one! It has a green roof and beautiful wallpaper.

Upon buying it, Tom Nook, our friendly neighborhood con artist, greets us and berates us for having no money. Then, he directs us to say hi to everybody in town (including the mayor he pushes!). When done, he wants us to meet him back at his shop to work for some pocket money to pay off some of our loans...

We meet the following villagers:

Pippy

Bud

Rolf

Tipper

Mitzi

and Walker

Awesome! Some favorites in there (Pippy, Mitzi, and Tipper) and some cool ones I've never met before. :)

After meeting all of them, we then go and meet our favorite tortoise mayor, Tortimer.

(while the above gif chooses Pelican, I actually am quite fond of cats.)

The old man berates me for being a 'kid these days' and choosing cats and not turtles, and after a fond greeting, I am directed back to Tom Nook.

...

OOPS!

I must have forgotten!

Upon saving to go eat dinner for a bit and come back to speak with Tom Nook, Resetti pops in to say hi. However, instead of yelling at me per usual, Resetti praises me for saving properly, instating the importance of saving my game before quitting, and not resetting.

Solid advice, from a cranky old guy!

Now it's time to go speak with Tom Nook!

He gives me a uniform...time to get to work!

Handing me a few flowers and tree saplings, my first task is to decorate the front of the shop.

Task handled! I love decorating!

My, look at the pretty flowers.

However, this work uniform is getting quite itchy... I'm sure Tom won't mind if I take it off...will he-?

Oopsies again...

Why are all the old guys in this game against the 'kids these days'? I wonder if one of the writers of the dialogue is a parent or a cranky old man?

Oh well, he forgives me as long as I don't wear anything inappropriate and then gives me a new task.

We are to deliver a piece of furniture to Mitzi, and to be quick about it too! His customers expect high-quality customer service, and to be late would it put another strike against our old man here...

Upon delivering it to Mitzi, she goes into the pain of working, but how wonderful it is I have a job, due to my new house...

Speaking of my new house!

OMG! How nice of her! I wonder what it is?

Well, this can mean one of two things:

I stink really badly, or she noticed the lack of plumbing in my new quarters. Either way, it is highly appreciated!

Upon explaining the ins-and-outs of interior decorating, and asking me to reflect my true personality in my home design (like the sweet girl she is) Mitzi proceeds to ask me a question:

Thank you very much Mitzi!

Indeed I am!

Mitzi is such a sweetheart, proceeding to tell me about how she'll write this down in her planner, and talks about getting me a present on my birthday. Then, she apologizes for distracting me from my work, promises to talk later, and leaves.

Tom Nook compliments me on my speedy delivery when I come back, and asks me to then send a letter to Rolf, thanking him for his patronage. He directs me to the post office window in the town hall, and tells me to hop to it!

Welp, I don't know much about Rolf, besides the fact that he's cranky, and threatened to beat me up for scaring him at our first meeting. I guess I should write him a cranky letter threatening to beat him up if he doesn't continue supporting the shop?

Ah yes, the old days, when cards were formatted weirdly for some reason.

Either way, I hope this encapsulates the threatening aura Rolf likes to put out, and I hope it encourages him to continue his patronage.

Time to go send my first letter!

Pelly thanks us for the letter, and we make our way back to Tom Nook, who berates me for dilly-dallying.

He then directs us to give a carpet to Walker. I hope this is my last one, I'm so tired!

'That's weird!' Walker says, as he questions why Leo is delivering his carpet from Tom Nook.

Well, aren't the people of this town nice? First the shower from Mitzi, and now the carpet from Walker! How fantastic!

And now Walker gives me advice on how Nook's Cranny works. And then it's time to go back. This job is so tiring!

Ugh! Not Rolf of all people! Oh well.

Might I mention that I just now noticed Rolf lives right next to me? Talk about horrible neighbors! Well, I hope he's as grateful as Mitzi and Walker were:

Great start :(

We give the Rolf, and I am shocked at his use of the word 'thank you.' Then he shows me the letter I had sent him and laughed saying he liked it.

He then gives me advice on letter sharing. Much appreciated, he seems to be in a good mood.

Noticing how close my house is to Rolf's, to Nook's dismay, it is time to go to sleep and continue tomorrow!

I have run out of images, and am a little tired. I hope Nook doesn't mind!

If you're reading this, thank you! We will continue tomorrow. :)

🎺【The Lady Is a Tramp】是 Rodgers and Hart 1937 年音樂劇《Babes In Arms》中的一首表演歌曲，由 Mitzi Green 演唱。這首歌是對紐約上流社會及其嚴格禮儀的惡搞 (這首詩歌的第一段歌詞侍者首歌曲的意義重點：「I get too hungry for dinner at eight...」 (我太餓了，八點才吃晚飯…)。

2011 年，女神卡卡 @LadyGaga 與 Tony Bennett / @itstonybennett 一起翻唱了這首歌，該歌曲收錄在 Tony Bennett 的專輯《Duets II》中。該歌曲於 2011 年 10 月 3 日作為單曲發行。

這首歌還收錄在 Tony Bennett 和 Lady Gaga 的首張合作爵士專輯《Cheek to Cheek》 (爵對經典) 的 HSN 版和國際實體豪華版中，作為專輯加值曲目。

他們翻唱的〈The Lady is a Tramp〉是專輯錄製過程中，最後一首錄製完成的歌曲，是在經過漫長的修改之後，距離專輯截止日期前幾天才大功告成。

於 2011 年 7 月 31 日在紐約 Avatar Studios 1 號錄音室進行。樂手與 Tony 他們和 Gaga 一起度過了兩個小��，在那段時間裡，他們為 MV 拍攝了六次。當地《The New Yorke》報導稱 Lady Gaga 當時非常緊張，一整天都在喝威士忌。Gaga 問 Tony：「以前是不是所有的女孩子都要喝醉了才有辦法和你一起出去玩？你真是一艘夢想之船！」

音樂錄影帶 MV 中，Tony Bennett 與 Lady Gaga 在錄音室的樂譜架前一起演唱〈The Lady Is a Tramp〉。

兩人都穿著黑色系服裝，Tony 穿著西裝，Gaga 則穿著黑色半透明蕾絲晚禮服。儘管他們穿著黑色衣服，但他們都將造型加入一些其他色彩形成對比，Tony 胸前的口袋裡放著一塊紅色手帕，而 Gaga 則戴著綠松石色的鮑伯假髮。

在 MV 的開頭和其他的鏡頭中，Gaga 拿著一個威士忌杯。影像呈現出的氛圍輕鬆愉快，兩位歌手臉上不斷露出微笑，用手勢、擺臂表達當下的幸福。

與歌詞內容相符，MV 的鏡頭也採用了兩人一來一往的風格，展示了兩位歌手的歌詞切換。除了基本舞動之外，兩人還在歌詞的搭配下做出手勢並互相指向對方。

Gaga 從 Tony 的口袋裡拉出紅色手帕揮灑，她還多次舉起裙子的下擺跟著歌曲擺動，並在她唱道「I'm so broke.」 (我破產了) 的時候轉向 Tony 的麥克風。

最後一句歌詞是「That's why this lady is a tramp.」(這就是為什麼這位女士是流浪漢。) MV 最後，Gaga 親吻了 Tony 的臉頰，Tony 向她表示感謝。

Two years ago I established The Daveys (they may have been The Davies back then, I don’t know), an end-of-year fake movie awards body, just because I got bored one day and was like hey, doing something like that might be fun. Last year I switched to a non-competitive format because I wasn’t really feeling it, but this year I said you know what, let’s get gifting again, and so here we are.

As always there are films that I didn’t get around to seeing, mostly due to availability, and as such they don’t feature here but possibly would’ve had I been able to see them. Likewise, there are many films that almost made their way on here but ultimately didn’t. The point is - these are all silly, really. Don’t take this seriously.

This year also sees the introduction of a special celebratory award, the Davey Award for “Wow I hadn’t seen you on screen for a while and seeing you again made me feel kind of emotional.” This year’s inaugural recipients are:

For his role in The Fabelmans, David Lynch. For her role in The Power of the Doctor, Janet Fielding. I’m sure this is the most important thing they will ever win in their lives. Congrats to them both.

A reminder: There is one winner from each category, except for the acting categories. There are two winners from those. There is also a runner up for each single-winner category. Anyway.

And now…(in alphabetical order based on movie title within each respective category)

The nominees are…

Dolo Flicks: Pearl - Ti West and Mia Goth Gift Horror Fans With Rare Prequel Greatness

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Published: September 26, 2022

"It’s not about what I want anymore, Mitzi. It’s about making the best of what I have. "  -- Pearl

Director Ti West has pulled off one of the most challenging tasks in film. He has written and directed two films this year, and both are of the best in the horror genre. With the release of Pearl, he has given fright fanatics the rare prequel that is arguably just as good as its predecessor. 

West has been part of the horror world since the 2000s producing cult classics such as 'The House of the Devil.' However, in 2022, West has separated himself from the pack that could put him with the likes of the best Directors the horror genre has seen. 

Pearl is a prequel to 2022's X and goes into the background of the main character aptly named Pearl. Mia Goth in X took on dual roles of playing both Maxine and Pearl. Using practical makeup and prosthetics along with Goth's performance, you couldn't tell that the English actress was playing the elderly woman. Goth has stepped up her game even further with Pearl, arguably surpassing her showing in X. 

The success of Pearl sits as much on the shoulders of Mia Goth as it does on Ti West. Goth wrote the film with West and put forth such an effort that, at times, her character is endearing even when committing horrific acts. The film's predecessor, X, shows how Pearl will end up as an elderly woman full of regret and desperate for intimacy. In Pearl, the movie takes its time unraveling the depths of Pearl's delusions and mental illness. Beginning with the killing of a goose and feeding it to her pseudo-pet alligator, Theda, it seems like Pearl has a prototypical start before turning into the killer, she will become. That is until, when on her way home from town, Pearl dry humps a scarecrow, does the audience realize that they are in for a ride. 

The 1918 time period is an intelligent and crafty way to relate the film to today's climate, with the Spanish Flu pandemic in the background. Although set in the late 1910s, the look of the film takes inspiration from cinema a few decades later, such as The Wizard of Oz with its utilization of vibrant colors. At some points, the film's visuals are reminiscent of how the colors are used in 1964s' The Masque of Red Death' starring Vincent Price.

West and cinematographer Eliot Rockett use such lively colors that even some individual set pieces, such as a bright pink pipe outside the local theater, stand out. With most of the film taking place during the day, the variation in colors in the setting, landscape, and wardrobes make Pearl West's best-looking film to date. West's experience and ability to execute the framing and tension in terror, Pearl is among the top of horror and film in general for 2022. 

While Goth is the absolute star of the movie, it would be an understatement to say that Pearl is a one-person show. The cast is small, with each character having their own highlights while keeping Pearl in the spotlight. In particular, Pearl's mother, Ruth, played by Tandi Wright, is given some of the most memorable scenes. The final dinner table scene where Ruth and Pearl argue about her daughter's true nature allows both Wright and Goth to shine. The paralyzed father is somewhat of an avatar for the audience as he cannot move or talk and is left in shock about what he is witnessing between his wife and daughter. West's direction and Goth's performance allow both to bring a sense of dread, with the audience not knowing just how far Pearl will go. 

A common issue found in a vast majority of prequels is that they spend time answering questions that the audience either wasn't asking or needed to be answered to progress the story. Pearl, doesn't waste the audience's time over explaining the events that occurred in X. Instead, Pearl does acknowledge the previous film by including some forms of pornography when The Projectionist (David Corenswet) shows Pearl a stag film. Also, the similarities in the personality of X's Maxine and Pearl are demonstrated with both having an issue with anyone staring at them and deep aspirations for fame. In Pearl's case, these aspirations can turn into deadly rampages. 

Taking place over a few days, Pearl has a simple story allowing for more complexity in its main character. The ability to enable the character to expand and dig deep while keeping the film within its slasher-horror roots is best seen in the confession scene near the film's climax.

After being rejected at the traveling troupe audition, Pearl's sister-in-law Mitsy (Emma Jenkins-Purro) offers to take Pearl home. In trying to console Pearl, Mitsy is left aghast and terror-struck at her sister-in-law's confession. Goth has a lengthy monologue where she confesses having killed her parents and cheating on her husband, Howard. She also admits how she harbored resentment towards him for joining the military to fight in World War I and leaving her on the farm where she always dreamed of escaping. 

Horror films are typically ignored when it comes to major acting awards such as the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards. Still, much like Toni Collette's performance in 2018s Hereditary, Goth deserves praise for her exceptional effort as Pearl. 

The confession is just the first of two parts with Mitsy. In arguably the most frightening scene of the movie, Mitsy walks out of the house following Pearl's admission, only to have Pearl right behind her. In the background, you notice an ax, and when Pearl walks out, it's clear what is about to take place. In what looks to be the brightest time of day, Pearl stalks Mitsy, who is unable to evade her killer and is slowly killed. The execution here, not only in suspense but also in visuals, is outstanding. West has to be commended for putting together such a simple and effective kill. 

West and Goth both received praise from legendary director Martin Scorsese in a review given to the film's distributing studio, A24. 

"Ti West's movies have a kind of energy that is so rare these days, powered by pure, undiluted love for cinema," stated Scorsese. "You feel it in every frame. A prequel to 'X' made in a diametrically opposite cinematic register (think 50s scope color melodramas), 'Pearl' makes for a wild, mesmerizing, deeply – and I mean deeply- disturbing 102 minutes. West and his muse and creative partner Mia Goth really know how to toy with their audience…before they plunge the knife into our chests and start twisting. I was enthralled, then disturbed, then so unsettled that I had trouble getting to sleep. But I couldn't stop watching." 

Calling what West and Goth have pulled off in 2022 with X and Pearl a miracle could be hyperbolic, but it does verge on it. Rarely have there been sequels, let alone prequels, that have been as well done as their original. To have done this in the same year is unprecedented. With its performances, direction, and writing, Pearl is one of the best horror films of 2022. Goth's performance alone is worthy of the price of admission.

Tell us about your splatoon OCs!

Hoo nelly, alright. This is gonna get a bit long so click keep reading to see it all.

First off is Penny: pink hair, lime green eyes, and is totally a nervous wreck. She works with a crew at Grizzco comprising of herself and my other OCs; Tara, Niall, and Basil. She worries that she’s holding them back because she’s not great at Salmon Run, but it’s the only income she can manage because she has absolutely no desire to play Turf War or Ranked. She’s totally in love with Mitzi, a girl who eventually joins the team after Niall quits Grizzco due to an accident. Unfortunately Penny has no clue how to communicate these feelings, so she admires Mitzi from afar, hoping she’ll notice. (I should elaborate I’m currently writing a fanfic that goes into more detail over most of these characters, expect that some time in the future.)

Next is Mitzi: short mint green hair, pink eyes, and a rebel with a short temper. After years of using unregulated modified weapons and gear, and getting into many fights over lost battles Mitzi is eventually banned from Turf and Ranked. With her source of income (and the outlet for pent-up anger) gone, under protest she turned to Grizzco for employment. She works in the crew with Penny, Tara, and Basil. She reciprocates similar feelings to Penny, but Mitzi plays it off in a flirtatious and laid-back attitude. Truth of the matter being she’s a hopeless romantic who doesn’t have much confidence in herself.

Tara: very long orange hair, silver eyes, and kind of a pretentious bitch. She’s the self-appointed leader of the Salmon Run group, and often criticizes her teammates for under-performing; namely Penny. She’s S+ rank, and has top marks during almost every battle, Turf or Ranked. Despite being a prodigy for ranked battle, she still works at Grizzco simply because she finds it more exciting than turf battles. She strongly dislikes Mitzi for her unsportsmanlike behavior, and will often antagonize her for being too rowdy.

Niall: green hair in a short ponytail, brown eyes, and probably the friendliest Inkling you could meet. His chipper attitude can be both comforting and at times, overbearing. He used to work at Grizzco with the crew until a harrowing accident makes him quit. He now works at a grocery store in Inkopolis Square, and despite this accident he still retains his jovial demeanor. He keeps in touch with his old coworkers and even gives Penny relationship advice when she asks for it. Whether she puts that advice to good use is kind of a mystery.

Basil: shoulder-length black hair swept over one eye, dark blue eyes, and the definition of indifferent. He is so distant and soft spoken, people are prone to forget he’s even there. He works at Grizzco and is very good at his job, he’s a very good strategist (even better than Tara) and when he makes a plan, it almost always works in the teams favor. He’s totally into punk-rock fashion and music, which is kind of a stark contrast to his reserved demeanor. He has a small crush on Tara but absolutely no one catches onto this, and he doesn’t act on it (for a while at least).

These are the main five I’ve actually developed, and the remaining few aren’t anywhere near as developed and serve moreso for ideas I have in the future (be it animations or fanfics).

Rey: Octoling with blood-orange hair and yellow eyes. She works as a low-ranking scientist for the Octarian menace beneath Inkopolis. Despite being a girl of science she is a total badass and can hold her own, she even goes on field missions alone. She has feelings for her commander Opal, but tries to repress them in order to focus on her work.

Opal: Octoling with lavender hair and brown eyes. Although she’s a high-ranking commander in the Octarian army with plenty of combat experience, she’s a huge softy and is into all sorts of cutesy things (namely Inkling fashion).

Mr. Mogi: Inkling man in his early thirties, droopy purple hair that go past his shoulders, and hazel eyes. He owns the apartments that Penny lives in, and he’s like the most chill dude ever.

Evan: Inkling boy with a yellow low ponytail, and bright pink eyes. Procrastinates a lot. Literally my self-insert/avatar, not much to talk about.

If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! If anyone has any more inquiries I’ll probably answer them, and when the time comes for me to start posting that fanfic I’m working on, I’ll let it be known on this blog.

So first to explain what the inner world is to my non-DID followers and mutuals - I think this sums it up pretty well:

Our inner world is made up of several different platforms that float in a sky, and each platform contains a structure or small town/city based off of different time frames in our life. The other night cade drew a rough map:

The first structure that came into our IW was the bathhouse, I’m thinking probably bc we watched so much anime and rewatched the movie spirited away multiple times when we were little to the point that it’s difficult to watch it without remembering how we dissociated so heavily to the themes and setting. Same with the festival grounds and city that bridges out from it directly to the south.

Also, the apartments are located under the cliff that the bathhouse is set on top of, kind of like how the western air temple was set up in avatar the last air bender. That’s the second structure that appeared and that’s where most of the alters with families live like Mitzy and her daughter, Tesni and her kids and then some like Cai and his sister Famée but we haven’t heard from them since last summer (2017) so idk I don’t go down there much unless I’m visiting the apartment grounds bc they are considerably nicer than the nature around the bathhouse (which is where I live! Along with jiji and then some)

Here’s what my room looks like (it’s located on the lower level of the bathhouse, one level above the basement/boiler room and one level below the main floor):

(Image credit to google)

Some slight differences is that instead of the wall by the bed it’s room dividers. There’s two room dividers and they divide the room between me, jiji and an alter named Kiki. We also have a common room on this level too that looks like this:

Differences is that it’s slightly messier, looks more like 6 or so 14-16 yr olds live there. Here’s what Kiki’s side of our bedroom looks like (she’s at the very end of the bedroom and jiji is in between us):

Kiki, along with two other girl alters name Jae Hwa and Leoni, are kind of pretty close to being “npc” alters even tho they front on occasion to complete certain tasks. But although they have set tasks that they split to do, they aren’t shrouded in mystery like some other alters that live in the castle or the schoolhouse. Me and jiji talk to all three of them regularly in the inner world. The “npc” alters who rarely front typically don’t find creating friendships or relationships of any kind to be worth the trouble considering how little they involve themselves with daily life (unlike me, jiji, tori, Loki etc)

Who’s ready for some DID/inner world talk on main?
