Another fantastic review for our crew for a local move from Dedham to Hingham. You can read the first few sentences on the image - here is the rest "They handled our complicated move (move out, storage for 2 months, stop at another storage unit and ultimately delivery to our new place) extremely well. Alan and his team were great (great communication, very friendly and conversational, above and beyond). I’d highly recommend the Mastodon Moving to anyone." Our local, full service movers strive to be the best moving company in New England. #movers #movingcompany #moversdedhamma #movershinghamma #moversinmiddlesexma #southshoremovers #movingreviews #moversonthesouthshore #southshoremovingcompany #centralmamovingcompany #localmovers #fullservicemovers #movingandstorage

There is an opposite to the rage-bait influencer when it comes to certain media. If you feel absolutely out of your mind because every influencer is violently defending a certain IP that you believe to be very flawed (or even harmful) - the answer is very rarely that you are imagining things. Influencers or other kinds of media creators who have tied their income to someone else's IP will often find themselves backed into a corner and feel they have to defend it for fear that they might lose it. You'll see this with D&D, with Dragon Age, Marvel, truly so many things. If you make entertainment media of any kind, for your own mental health I beg you to diversify your content early and often. Do not become dependent on someone else's one media property to find success. It will be a nightmare to maintain and also it makes you act pretty cringe. ((I'm not talking out of my ass here, I was stuck in D&Dfluencing for a while and I almost got truly trapped in it. There are other paths. You can be many things instead of one. Virality is fun but a sustainable audience is much, much healthier))

Was thinking thoughts about how I understand characters who lose their minds and then attempt to bring back their dead loved ones (i am being extremely normal in my grieving process, leave me alone) so i decided to rewatch the Astro boy movie and bawled my eyes out.

I remember this movie being good from when i was a kid but wow i didn’t remember it being this good.

The cinematography blew me away and i took tons of screenshots that I would like to make studies of later. The writing is so well done. A really solid mix of good social commentary and humor. It feels like they didnt pull their punches with certain lines and were looking at the audience like ‘yeah you heard us.’ The pacing is perfect; every section is exactly as long as it needs to be and nothing feels brushed past. The characters are all fleshed out, even the background characters, and you can really understand their motivations and emotions. This movie does an amazing job with animating micro expressions which is always one of my favorite things to see in a movie. The designs are perfect from the backgrounds to the characters. The voice acting represents every character well, even Dr. Tenma who i initially thought was too unemotive, but that suits him as a neglectful father who has a wake-up call.

The happy ending and catharsis is exactly what i needed right now and the small cliffhanger lets you imagine what happens next and keeps the universe alive in your mind. I love the communist robots, the commentary on slavery, consciousness, morality, violence, state control, death, kindness, belonging, class difference, how politicians keep power, and our treatment of the environment through our mindset of wastefulness and disposability.

Anyways, this is definitely going up there as one of my favorite movies, and I’m always glad to see that my child self had taste! I’m tempted to just restart the movie even though it just ended haha

Just a reminder: I DO love Arcane;

I love Jinx and Vi’s complicated relationship, Silco’s unbendable determination to free Zaun, Jinx and Silco’s relationship, Vi and Vander’s relationship, the chembarons and chemsoldiers, Jayce taking stupid steps in first days of his councillorship but seeing what’s needed to be done to really resolve the conflict between unequal sides by the end of the week, Viktor’s unbendable determination to live a better life, Caitlyn’s unquestioning kindness, Zaun’s vibe, Ekko and the firelights being the third side that’s secretly better than both of the other two, Himerdinger joining the firelights, the approach to science, Mel choosing Piltover over Noxus, fighting choreography, councillors’ designs, the steampunk vibes, and of course, animation and sound design.

Just because S2 was a disappointment doesn’t mean Arcane as a whole wasn’t a beautiful experience (that’s exactly why I’m so hard on S2).

Kdramas i've watched this year

Some of these are older dramas but i'm a procrastinator

Black Knight (2023): Loved this one! I have watched it probably 5 times now. Kim Woobin kicking ass is all i need!

Under the Queen's Umbrella (2022): I didn't watch this when it aired (no idea why). I was worried that the plot would be overrun by romance but thankfully i was wrong. Loved Kim Hye-Soo's performance (i cried a little).

Island seasons 1 & 2 (2022-2023): Honestly i only started this one for Kim Nam-Gil. I loved the cast, but the flow of the plot was a little off (don't know how, i can't put a finger on it). Was positively suprised by Cha Eun-Woo's acting, i think he needs more roles like this! Hot villain alert no.1! Sung Joon as a bad guy is either a blessing or a curse. Cgi could have been better.

Taxi Driver season 2 (2023): Loved the first season so of course i had to watch the second one. Love Lee Je-Hoon. Love the main characters. Love the plot and the message of this drama. A masterpiece. Waiting for season 3.

Weak Hero Class 1 (2022): Only heard of this drama wayyy after it aired (thanks tiktok) and god does it deserve every award there is! I was a bit hesitant because Park Ji-Hoon was the main lead, but boy was i wrong because his talent got me speechless (weren't we all). I cried, i cheered, i shadowboxed, i cried a little more and in the end i called my therapist. Thankfully season 2 is coming.

Bloodhounds (2023): Woo Do-whan and Lee Sang-Yi in the same drama beating people up? Yes please! The plot wasn't mindblowing, but sometimes just simple ass kicking is enough. Bromance was bromancing. Park Sung-Woong with another great villain character.

Revenant (2023): After dropping Mr.Sunshine i wanted to see Kim Tae-ri in other dramas, so when this aired i gave it a go. Her range is phenomenal! I have only seen couple spookier dramas, so i made a mistake and watched this at night (slept with the lights on). The eerie vibes and plot twists were well made. Hong Kyung had great chemistry with Kim Tae-ri and his cop role was refreshing to see after his performance in Weak Hero Class (if you know you know).

Flower of Evil (2020): Okay, this is one of the dramas i procrastinated hard on. It's been sitting on my "have to watch" list since it aired and i'm the only one to blame (i hype up a drama in my mind, then don't want to watch it because now i'm afraid it doesn't go the way i think it does and then i get disappointed blaablaablaa). This year i finally got over myself and why. didn't. i. watch. it. sooner!!!! It is all i ever wanted in a kdrama. 1. serial killers 2. a psychopath (but is he really?) w/ an effed up childhood 3. mindgames 4. marriage problems (but has a lot of soft & cute scenes) 5. Lee Joon-Gi. Also as a plus (hot villain alert no.2) the bad guy is kindaa (i'm sane i swear). I would be lying if i didn't say that i found the wife slightly annoying (might be me, but she went too much back & forth and sometimes i had to take a breather while watching), but all in all this drama will be hard to top and i fell in love with Lee Joon-Gi.

Moving (2023): Honestly one of the best dramas of the year. I don't usually really go for plots that have a lot of romance in them (if you haven't noticed), but i found this one to be really well balanced and the romance scenes weren't "cringy". Although Bong-Seok and Hui-Soo were great and had great chemistry, i looooved the background stories of the parents. Park Hee-Soon also pops up as kind of a non-villain villain. I hope there is a season 2.

Song of the Bandits (2023): Kim Nam-Gil again. 1920s Korea and gunslingers... what more could i need? After Mr. Sunshine left me with a disappointment (this might be an unpopular opinion) i craved for a drama set around the same time period, but with a little less romance (i know, i am defective). I think dramas should explore this time period more, but i understand it might still be a touchy subject. The skills of the cast were obviously great, Kim Nam-Gil killed his role like always, but Lee Ho-Jung as Eon-Nyeon shined with her performance (i am now a new fan). Hot villain alert no.3! I have seen Lee Hyun-Wook in Remarriage & Desires and seeing him as a villain made me feel things. If there isn't a second season i will cry.

The Killing Vote (2023): A "serial killer" in a dog mask making the public vote on punishing criminals and everyone suspects each other? Cyber crime? Chemistry between two cops? Major hot villain (no.4)? Sign me up. I love when crime dramas make you question your people reading skills (i have the tism so i really got none) and have all kinds of theories flying around. I liked that even Kim Mu-Chan and Joo Hyun had obvious chemistry between them it didn't overshadow the main point of the plot. I liked Seo Young-Joo's delivery and i hope he gets more bigger roles. Kim Kwon.... why does the psychopath have to be hot? He also needs more bigger roles. !spoiler! Also Park Sung-Woong killing (heh) yet another morally grey character.

The Worst of Evil (2023): Okay, first of all i have to say... the wife ruined everything (some agree and some don't). We get another bromance duo of the year with Wi Ha-Joon and Ji Chang-Wook. Loved the crime organization infiltration plot, heavily despised the romance plot (sorry Bibi baby). I was constantly on the edge of my seat and the characters started to get so morally grey that in the end everyone needs group therapy. Action scenes were chefs kiss. A honorable mention goes for Lee Shin-Ki as Seo Jong-Ryul (or Chief Seo, knife guy, the man has many names) and Bibi for her performance as Lee Hae-Ryeon.

Evilive (2023): Heavily underrated. Kim Young-Kwang doing what he does best, playing a psychopath. This combined with a bromance plot with the one and only bromance master Shin Ha-Kyun? I'm sold. The dramas literal title "villain story" really sums up the plot. Sometimes you are not sure who to cheer for. Sometimes you are not really sure about your own sanity. But to be fair, so aren't the main characters.

Vigilante (2023): Love it. Currently re-watching it. Needs more attention. Needs more episodes. I'm in love with Nam Joo-Hyuk. The best crime drama of the year, the title is all i needed to hear. Beating up criminals in well made action scenes is my favorite genre. No romance. One sided bromance? Morally grey characters (am i repeating myself now?). Yoon Ji-Tae as a beefy cop and Lee Joon-Hyuk as a slightly insane admirer? If we don't get a season 2 i will start a riot.

Of Fiends & Conmen🃏🔺💸

A/N: Here’s a few doodles for this thing that a some people found interesting. (@localcanadiancreature62 ; @hirotowhosthat; Tagging you both in because y’all were the most excited)

I have to think about the human design I’ll settle with for Bill (I will be making new designs every day till the fixation dies, yes.) this is an early on concept. Maybe I’ll just leave him in triangle form.

I doubt I will have enough fuel for a long fic, I might make it a mini fic or a oneshot. If anyone wants to give it a try and write something in full regarding this (queer platonic?) Billstan/Stanbill prompt, be my guest! I’d be more than happy to see more of this!

P.S.: More doodles will come later, specifically Bill and Stan singing ‘Loser, baby!’.

“How gay can you make your book?”

“yes” : Love, and to be loved was above anything else in this world. To trust that fragile organ on one that would truly cherish it. To be met with the person who not only wished to keep the darkness away from it, but would willingly steal the light of the stars to reignite it if the candle of it merely just flickered.
