[sonknuxadow]

im fully aware that i need to stop forcing myself to engage with every new sonic thing immediately and finish it as quickly as possible . im working on that. but why did my first time having to actively practice being okay with being a little late to a major new sonic thing end up being a game i was looking forward to way more than any of the other new or upcoming sonic projects from the past year or so . tragic

These are times when one civilization is replacing another. A new era is about to begin in Central Eurasia.

The Scythians, once proud warriors, are all but gone. Their few descendants have become ruthless mercenary assassins, the "Wolves of Ares." Lutobor, is a soldier with a difficult task at hand. He becomes involved in internecine conflicts and sets off on a perilous journey to save his family. His guide is a captive Scythian by the name of Marten. Lutobor and Marten are enemies. They pray to different gods but must embark on this journey together. They brave the wild steppes, moving toward the last haven of the Scythians, to what seems to be their inevitable demise.

A clear memory I have, when working on That Old PMMM/Sailor Moon Fusion AU fic (as in: it's a fic where in this AU the PMMM girls were reborn part and parcel with the Guardians after the Fall of the Silver Millennium), was coming up with a short story about a group of assassins that jumped through time and dimensions that tied into the modern day setting.

The second POV character I made the reader (because the first is a male POV) followed was an OC, and the guy she's walking down the hall with recalls how there were rumors about her being the bastard daughter to Queen Serenity a'la "she fucked around after her husband passed away" because she had silver hair and having that was usually the go-to mark for being part of the royal family.

I never did finish that story, and it's buried away somewhere in the USB Drive (EDIT: NEVER MIND FOUND IT), but she was the head of the group meant to look for two girls in the modern day that were pretty much Madoka and Homura who were...basically constructs of magic born from both Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura from the PMMM Canon AU but without the godhood attached that were given human form but over time gained free will (and were essentially watched over by an unknown female benefactor named Lady Iris, who was actually an aspect of Queen Serenity who existed beyond the confines of space-time - she was basically the fic's equivalent of a Force Ghost). I don't think I even remember what the goal was once they found them but there was an element of "I'm getting back at the assholes that called me a motherless bitch, and I'm taking it out on Queen Serenity's girl and her squad even though they had nothing to do with my misery", and Not!Madoka and Not!Homura would...eventually find out that they're more than just regular schoolgirls that are able to live on their own and dream of hitting up Akihabara and Shibuya to See The Sights (because they're unconsciously aware they're god-beings but at the same time consciously aren't). The girls would've eventually be protected by the Guardians, who'd be butting heads with both the assassin group and Devil Homura (who's eating up her AU selves who are magical girls like fucking candy for More Power so she can curbstomp Kyouko and Sayaka, who are blessed with the last fragments of Ultimate Madoka's power and on the run, and drag Madoka back into their world, who managed to break out of it, and sit nice and pretty and not worry about all that magical girl shit).

It's...a very complicated AU I've made lol

OK, first of all, I was literally just freaking out about these pictures with a friend this morning and second of all, I HAVE DISCOVERED WHERE THEY'RE FROM. And I need to see this movie and it doesn't seem to be anywhere (It was released, then pulled, then rereleased, and I think maybe pulled again? IDEK.)

It's straight out of the kind of Kids Channel movies that my mom and I used to find for my niece and nephew to watch because we could all appreciate a movie about a guy with a troupe of dogs running a hotel where the dogs get kidnapped and the guy has to go rescue them with his band of miscreants and children or somesuch.

From mydramalist; The Big Rescue (2018/9), 营救汪星人:

A story revolving around an elite dog force that works with their human to complete a rescue mission. Chen Bin (Cheng Yi) has retired from working as a police dog trainer and spends his days together with Da Xiong, a Labrador Retriever with many accomplishments under his belt. His current job is the manager of a five-star pet hotel. During his time there, he took in over ten strays and trained them to become a special team. On the pet hotel's third year anniversary, all the dogs in town were gathered for the party and stayed the night at the hotel. But the next morning, everyone is shocked to see that their beloved pets have disappeared. Out of responsibility, Chen Bin takes Da Xiong on a rescue mission and stumbles upon a drug syndicate along the way. (Source: chinesedrama.info)

Here's the trailer for anyone as invested in needing to see this movie as I am. XD

There are also a TON of videos of Cheng Yi with tiny puppies on Youtube because of this movie; just search the title and you'll find them. 🥺

I saw an early screening of the Mean Girls movie last night, so here is a summary of my thoughts, comparing the movie musical to the Broadway musical, which I was lucky enough to see live in 2018!

Changed that I liked:

The usage of social media in the Broadway show made it very clear that it was written by adults who didn’t know much about Gen-Z. It was probably one of the worst parts of the show in my opinion. But Tina Fey must have done her research since 2018, because the way the movie uses TikTok, memes, vlogging, and FaceTime to push the story forward worked VERY well. I think there were some influencer cameos, but it didn’t feel they were included to show how “young and hip” they were, It actually added authenticity.

The diversity within the cast and changing last names to reflect the characters’ backgrounds (Karen Smith ➡️ Karen Shetty, Janis Sarkisian ➡️ Janis 'Imi'ike)

Cutting down “Meet the Plastics.” It’s a very exposition-heavy song and doesn’t need to be super long, even though the full version is quite catchy and fun.

All of the new jokes landed so well, probably because Tina Fey’s writing style is better suited for the screen as opposed to the stage.

This is more of a comparison of the musical vs. the original film, but a big change was The Plastics’ weaponized wokeness (which I talk about here).

The production design for most of the songs was very different. The stage musical has a lot of rock songs, which were changed to a pop sound for the movie. I personally prefer rock musicals, but it was a good way to give the movie a separate identity from its predecessor so it doesn’t risk becoming a carbon copy. It worked on some songs (“Someone Gets Hurt” and “World Burn”) but not on others (“A Cautionary Tale” and “Revenge Party”).

Cutting the joke about Regina’s ass being big. It was a very low-brow joke, which I’m not a fan of, and was just really immature. Thank God that was changed to her falling, which still shows her being embarrassed without her body being the joke.

Explicitly making Janis a lesbian! (It’s only implied in the stage show with “It’s not even true… I only have one butt”) And she goes to prom with a girl while Damien dances with a boy! ALSO THERE’S REJANIS LORE AND IT’S SO HEARTBREAKING I LOVE IT

megan thee stallion just… being there

Miss Norbury and Principal Duvall being a couple and owning a dog together!!!

As a low mezzo, I appreciated whoever decided to lower the key for “I’d Rather Be Me.” I felt very represented 🩷

Having Cady be raised in a single-parent household so it focuses in more on her relationship with her mom. Jenna Fischer was so motherly and sincere and brought a warmth to the movie. Their scene together near the end made me emotional (you’re never too old to ask your parent to stay with you until you fall asleep) (also this is my request to make jenna fischer my mom)

Changes that I didn’t like:

Cutting BOTH of Damian’s solos??? (SHE’S LEAVING!!!!!!!! JUST LIKE MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Cutting “More Is Better.” It wasn’t necessarily a memorable song, but it did give both Cady and Aaron more depth, both as separate characters and within their relationship.

While cutting some of the songs helped with pacing, cutting HALF of the score made me forget that it was a musical sometimes, which sucks because I really like musicals!!!

Other stuff:

The movie was marketed horribly. One of my friends didn’t even know it was gonna be a musical because there were no songs in the trailers 💀 (Also, this isn’t just a Mean Girls problem. The Color Purple also didn’t have any songs in the trailer. I didn’t even know Wonka was a musical until I saw it in theaters, so that was a bit of a shock.) If you’re producing a musical movie, maybe your focus groups should be musical fans, because that’s still a HUGE market.

Auliʻi Cravalho’s voice is STUNNING! She and Jaquel Spivey had great chemistry and their friendship felt so genuine!

The opening and ending transitions from the garage were everything to me

The EDITING

Angourie Rice is a great actor and fit Cady perfectly… except for her singing. Out of the entire cast she was easily the weakest in terms of vocals and it was pretty disappointing since she’s the LEAD. I could barely hear her in the new song “What Ifs” because of how quiet and breathy she was. I think it’s a better written song compared to “Roar” though.

Jon Hamm cameo!

Ashley Park cameo!

I cannot stress enough how funny this movie was. I was probably laughing louder than everyone else in the theatre.

I lost my shit during “Meet the Plastics” when Regina unzipped her jacket and Cady was staring at her boobs. She’s just like me fr 🏳️‍🌈

I know that Regina is a horrible person but I couldn’t find it in me to dislike her in the slightest. She just served too much cunt 😩

Christopher Briney is a good actor, but I don't think he was the right choice for Aaron Samuels. I would hate to ridicule anyone for their looks, but it still plays an important part in casting. Aaron is supposed to be a somewhat naive, wholesome, hot jock (and Regina has high standards, so he better be a fucking model). Briney is definitely a cutie, but gives off “smoldering badboy with a secret sensitive side” energy, which isn’t what Aaron should be.

The fantasy sequences (Stupid With Love, Revenge Party, October 3rd). I LOVE when movie musicals USE the medium to tell stories in a way that they can’t on a stage!!!

THE CHOREO!!! Everyone freezing then shaking in “Someone Get Hurt” AHHHH that entire number was HYPNOTIZING!!!!!!!!!!! My friend told me the choreographer’s name is Kyle Hanagami, so shout out to him. (also reneé rapp was so fucking hot while singing that oh my lord)

I will be calling my pimples “face breasts” from now on (avantika ilysm)

DAMIAN’S FRENCH COVER OF THE ICARLY THEME SONG 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

why was there a 0.5 camera shot of cady during revenge party 💀

“I’d Rather Be Me” was so much fun and I felt so fucking empowered. And the transition from the song to the bus was just *chef’s kiss*

“donut worry i am still your freend” 🥺

Lindsay Lohan cameo!!!!!!!!!

NOT ENOUGH RENEÉ RAPP 😭😭

Overall, the movie was not perfect, but the Broadway show already had plenty of flaws, so it’s understandably how that would affect the adaptation. I still a LOT of fun and would definitely see it again. Go stream Snow Angel by Reneé Rapp. i love women 🥰🥰🥰

[maangoes]

it also gives me brain worms just HOW planned out this all was. in the very first trailer for into the spiderverse (2018) there was a line from peter b Parker that ended up getting cut from the final version of the movie, and it was something like “you can’t think about saving the world. you have to think about saving one person.” suggesting that it is not the LOSS of one person that makes spider people who they are, but the DESIRE TO SAVE one person…. THE LOVE… which is what clearly drives miles all throughout astv. and it’s why fighting the canon events makes him the better spiderman, the one who brings the spiderman ethos back into focus for everyone else at the end of the movie
