[yyokkki]

Kalim Al-Asim

Owner of a ranch that actually specialises in taking care of exotic animals! Sells the SDV specific animals too though.

It’s actually a small branch of Kalim’s family business that is unbelievably rich. They don’t even specialise in animals.

He moved out to NRV to gain life experience and establish a business by himself (the life experience isn’t very rich though since Jamil is still taking care of everything)

Plays the drums in a band with Lilia and Cater! Travels to the city sometimes for concerts.

Frequently hosting parties in the square or saloon (community centre after it’s completed!)

Is often found at the ranch playing with the animals or running his business, or at the town square chatting with the other residents.

Loved Gifts: Coconut, Universal Loves

“Aww, farmer! This is my favourite! Why don’t you pick something from my storeroom as a thank you?”

Hated Gifts: Curry, Red Mushroom (the poisonous one), Universal Hates

“Oh…Uh, I don’t really like this but thanks!”

Jamil Viper

Kalim’s aid that followed him to NRV! He does all the household chores for Kalim and helps out at the ranch.

He grew up alongside Kalim as his aid and was instructed to always stay in his shadow but to protect him with his life. He longs to break out of his family’s generational servitude but fears the consequences it would bring to them.

Is often found at the ranch or just wherever Kalim is, on his own time he’s deep in the forest listening to music and chiling.

Plays basketball with Floyd and Ace every sunny wednesday.

Loved Gifts: Curry, Universal Loves

“For me? Hm, thank you farmer.”

Hated Gifts: Dates, Bug Meat, Universal Hates

“...” He’s glaring daggers at you.

Tell us how you feel about arcane. Use your emotion words! Use a visual aid if you must, too lol.

you want some visual aid? i'll give you some visual aid:

that describes perfectly ab how i am feeling rn

first of all the LESBIAN SEX SCENE????!! I-??!! i knew that something was bound to happen (esp after meljay and the rated for sex warning in season 2) and i celebrated when they (finally) kissed but oh my god?? an actual lesbian sex scene? in a prison?? in vi's sister's prison?? after a parallel about how cait is always finding her in a prison and expected her to be there?? (with dramatic music and banter and soft giggling and the ANGLES and HAND PLACEMENTS??) I AM NOT OKAY

just that scene alone is enough to nudge me off a cliff. but moving on

how is JAYVIK more homoerotic than now-100%-canon caitvi?? that's all i have to say. (what do you MEAN that love conquers all?? that he loved and admired viktor for all his imperfections and that was what made him special and beautiful?? GET OUTTA HERE)

i did not know that i needed timebomb until this season but HOLY FUCKING SHIT why must you make ekko fall (surprisingly, even to himself) in love with jinx/older powder and have that ripped away from him not like two days later?? WHYYYYY (the dance. the "can we pretend it's like the first time?" the "oh and he's got lines." the nervous wave after he fucked up in that scene with dead vi and powder was like hmp and he goes :(. the mural. im sent. im gone. nobody speak to me.)

ISHA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (she was just trying to be like jinx and copy everything that she does and is and looked up to her as a hero STOP WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME. also the song?? IM CHINESE BRO AND I WAS SOOOO EMOTIONAL OVER THE LYRICS like hit me where it fucking hurts why dont you)

i cried at how vander suffered a fate worse than death. @becasbelt can attest to that

caitlyn adfshjk i knew she would come around and she was and always has been my blorbo (even if she stayed evil) MWAH my female rage filled, slightly wild, grief clouded, confident, "im an excellent shot," sexy, " i am a decorated officer, leader of house kiramman, address me with respect, or keep your mouth shut." dictator, vampire, badass, mofo. YES

the way she said "no amount of good deeds can undo our crimes" hit me bc she's acknowledging that she went off the rails and did some pretty bad things to justify and achieve (which she didn't. not really) her goals

i LOVED jinx in this season. she single-handedly made it a comedy show and was the sole focus of a lot of the emotional damage the storytellers and animators wanted to convey

the way jesus came to be and then quickly became evil SDFHSDKJ i was legit like WEEO WEEO ABORT ABORT JESUS HAS TURNED EVIL (also want to point out the "no you wont" sky dialogue bc DAMN she really called you out huh viktor)

that alternate universe timebomb episode had me gasping so much (like SILCO?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?? what do you mean everyone is well and happy but at the cost of vi's death???) i think i had asthma for a split second there

MELLLL MY GODDESS MVP PLAYER you saved cait's ass so many times it's not even funny and ugh the way you finally stood up to your mom (very cleverly too, i might add) ugh i applaud

EKKO MY KINGGG the way he hurts himself so bad turning back time and specifically saving jinx from offing herself BYE

HEIMERDINGER MY TINY ANNOYING/affectionate FURBALL WHYY

no but yea i am ruined and my emotions have faded away into numbness and i hope this post was relatable to the people in the arcane fandom and i also agree that this season was way too condensed and rushed and the last episodes in particular needed at least a couple more to drag out the events and character development bc at times when i am supposed to be cheering i am crying and at times i am supposed to be crying i am screaming and at times i am supposed to be screaming i am Horny and at times i am supposed to be Horny my heart is wrenching but only a few tears slip out bc IT IS CUT TO THE NEXT SCENE AGAIN??? does that make sense??

(also do we think jinx is actually dead or no. im still not sure but obv i would hope/am hoping that she is lmao)

[beevean]

For the ask game: ❤ 💖 💔 💀 for Castlevania

Answered the last one here!

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

ISAAC

MY DARLING BABYGIRL ISAAC

He is not just a cock-thirsty shallow Joker 😭 there is depth to him! He's passionate, driven, so terribly embittered by being shunned and cast aside, yet he respected Hector and still cares for Julia, he refused to hurt her even when Cursed! He tainted his body in a show of loyalty to a Lord who only saw him as a tool, and let the clothes rot off his body to show himself in his truest self! And so he too saw himself as a weapon and took pride in that role! And yet he's a hypocrite who falls prey to his own emotions and desires, because if he truly was a weapon he wouldn't have been jealous of Hector getting everything he wanted! He wouldn't have been consumed by his own (admittedly understandable, Hector really was cruel to him) hatred to the point of dying! He did all he could to cast away a humanity he felt had no need for yet he was so terribly human, much like his master! And he died as a tool, and a defective one too!

fhsdkjghjksdhgkjh my boy i love him so much he's complex and fascinating and even relatable in some aspects but no one except my enlightened besties, mwah understands him and they reduce him to a crazy bdsm joke 😭😭😭

oh and on the same note if people can stop reducing hector to a shallow edgelord without weaknesses and softness that would be great thanks

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

obligatory show bad both as an adaptation and its own thing

Circle of the Moon is a bad game. I genuinely cannot understand what people like in it, because if you want a hard Igavania, OoE is right there and is less pointlessly cheap. CoTM clearly tried to fix SoTN's absolutely non-existant difficulty, but it went about it the worst way possible, to the point that even moving around is painful, let alone orienting yourself in this dim, boring castle full of dead ends that forces you to go through the Abyss Stairway over and over again. I ain't forgiving it for the shit it pulls after you defeat Hugh and you have to dodge those dark knights without healing up :^)

By contrast, I find Harmony of Dissonance very fun, I love the psychedelic colors, I love the chiptune eerie music, the game is so fun to break and speedrun, Juste most OP Belmont come at me.

I think my overall biggest take is... the games have a solid lore and story. It's a shame that they get put aside (not here on Tumblr, but definitely in places like Reddit) for the sake of propping up the show. Dracula's Curse has some crazy intricate lore when you put everything together. Games parallel each other, like HoD being written to be a prelude to Richter's fall from grace. You can get everything you need to know about Simon's personality, who otherwise never speaks in a main game, simply by that scene in Simon's Quest where he makes a grave for Dracula. The games are so fun to read between the lines, they hit that perfect balance between giving you enough information to get you interested and leave enough room for thought and interpretation.

... I also don't hate DoS' anime style. I think it's cute. PoR is the one that really got hit by the ugly stick, I think.

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?

^ Konami when they decided to quietly erase Grant from existence

Can't think of anyone. All major characters contribute to something. Maybe Hammer? I never cared for him, sorry, and his personality in DoS is hard to like. But I'm not sure he counts as major.

[lucksdraw]

heyy all ♥ name's lola, here presenting 1/2 of the #601 unit, kim minhyun — probably the worst person to be against when you're playing dodgeball because you will lose, but also someone with an extremely... well. non-flashy, boring power. i haven't been present for the original run of astonish but i've heard only good stuff about it so i am beyond excited to be here. you can read his profile here and a general background here, under the cut i will present more of trivia ♥

his power... basically this whole video. "luck is not a superpower" and doesn't really get you on the front-line of superism rankings, so he's just minding his business trying to survive in a world of heroes and villains. at least when the city is falling apart a-la avengers style, he's gonna come out unscathed? but overall, couldn't really give less about it all, or the glitz and glamour that comes with being a hero. sometimes will even cheer on a villain :/ also aeternal training academies are LAME!

a bit bitter, when you take all things into consideration. like, he could have been spitting fire or having a pair of wings he can fly with, but he's stuck with just being lucky? some people don't even believe him when he says it.... damn... also a bit guilt ridden but that's level 10 friendship unlock x

despite his lucky powers, his whole life is unlucky. as seen in the background preview, not the best upbringing, rough childhood, mild #mommy_issues

on other hand, thanks to his lucky powers, he's very chilled out, laid back, carefree, doesn't care, etcetera; he knows that things will work out for him one way or another. says he doesn't care about others either and is flying solo, but as much as he says he doesn't care, he will end up helping, regardless of how messy of a situation you've got yourself in? you two just met but you need a place to stay at for whatever reason? well. come over ig...

not opposed to doing some illegal stuff. the depth of this will remain redacted for his own good

like sure, he's never gotten the best grades or anything... but if he wanted to, he could take his chance at the slot machine and hit the #jackpot. but it would probably get #cancelled, since he is a registered metahuman after all

works as a snacks attendant @ gg. spends time after shift gaming until his eyes are red. plays league like, #religiously, has an edgy u/n; something like... HER VOICE RESIDES (who gets the reference? mwah..) and plays smth edgy like kayn or zed. GM rank... the whole world is falling apart outside but he's still gaming and climbing the ranks #grind_never_stops

also... does not know anything about any thefts at all. will know if you lend him some money though wink wink!

he's consented to be prodded and to sharing his biomedical data <3 everything for cheaper rent

most of the complaints about him are regarding loud music (he makes up for like 60% of simon dominic's streams) , noises past midnight, or breaking into the building (because he forgot his keys!!), or he's asked someone for some coins so he can wash his clothes @ the laundromat for like the tenth time in row. also, if he's not at work you can almost always see him moping around the building complex and he's recognized by wearing his iconic "fish love me women fear me", "my tummy hurts", "human by chance alpha by choice" and shirts alike. no, he will not reveal where he gets them. it's his personal gold mine

probably biggest fan of minions alive. would adopt a minion if they were real. like, holy shit he loves minions.

depending on who asks, down for some sprinkle sprinkle brownies x

for plot bunnies... given minhyun's character, literally anything goes. he's a bit of a #loser so not too much on romantic aspect... but friends, enemies (different opinions re: aeternals/the academy/blockers), someone who's caught him breaking into a store and is blackmailing!!, fellow gamers, they're party animals together or partners in crime,,. literally anything goes lets brainstorm in ims!!!

anyway. minhyun tweets!!!

What's your favorite game you played this year?

oohooohooh ok so this is sort of a toughie. favorite games this year consisted of all really fucking good games but if I had to rate them based on how I enjoyed them it would definitely go

mario wonder

pizza tower

antonblast

vividlope

(...i know antonblast isn't technically out yet, but hush)

in general mario wonder was a fucking GREAT experience. got it day 1. streamed it to like 3 people. played on my own for the rest of that day. proceeded to beat it the next. then I 100%ed it within the next two days (minus the standees because I did stupid shit and totally forgot to spend my flower coins on them so I missed all the bonuses that would have made that easier) but all in all holy shit I love that game. the online is so fun and im still trying to figure out if I can take up lexis offer on racing it heuheuheu...

pizza tower is also a Really Fucking Good Game god. I waited 5 years and I was not disappointed. this [cheesy pizza pun redacted]. i recently p-ranked the final boss to finish my 100% savefile and it's so fun to replay tbh. not to mention the modding scene god it's big and the amount of shit people are doing with this game is insane. and they're still adding new official content to the game too!!! it's crazy !! cannot fucking wait for the noise update...

ANTON BLAST 💥💥💥 was pretty fuckin good. i love the ctr boost mechanic. not to mention the voice clips and music and sound design and the animations and everything else about the game is just mwah. very pretty. it's just two levels right now and I'm having a [antonblast pun redacted]. people kept saying pizza tower is a wariolike but I beg to differ, frankly. pt is much more similar to like. sonic. i believe antonblast is the true wariolike here. can't wait to play it when it comes out ^^

vividlope was a pleasant surprise! one of my friends introduced it to me while they were srteaming it in a vc and god it's fun. best way I can explain it is like. Autistic Q*Bert. lil painter rabbit girl walking simulator.. 3 dimensional.. and they added a level editor a little bit back too so now you can make funny levels and things like this!!

although this game is fucking infuriating at times. jaklub you are a monster

also not really on the list because it's not a new game but one I've really been playing more. god i love tf2 and I will always love tf2. I've been getting back in the swing of making content for it and dear lord it's so fun. one of my main recommendations any day. might be tough to get into but I urge anyone who can to play it...

thanks for the ask sky!! ive been waiting for it ...

Romantic Sniper HC's!

hey, hey, hey! Sorry I've been gone for a while. Happy Holidays love! I hope you enjoy this sniper hc list I made out of sheer boredom. <3 Sniper Romance Hc's:

-Sniper is very awkward at first and doesn't really speak in the beginning of the relationship. He mostly just mutters or replies with very short answers.

-Soon enough he'll start being more considerate and he'll talk to you more often opening up with more conversations and things to talk about (such as his day, your day, dislikes and likes ect)

-He wakes you up a lot at night because he's usually outside at his post so he'll knock on your door softly and talk to you on your bed.

-He doesn't mind spooning you or you spooning him! If he gets to be close to you he's happy.

-Sniper thinks it's cute when you wear his hat or any other piece of his clothing. He really loves it when you tease him by wearing his glasses.

-Sniper also likes to watch you do things ! He usually watches behind and just admires everything you do

-Sniper is well... a sniper and so on battle he will watch you closely to make sure no one hurts you or tries to kill you.

-He's very protective over you also. He doesn't enjoy it when the other mercs get in your guy's way.

-Once you've gotten close enough you find out that Sniper actually enjoys collecting vinyls and he'll play you some of his favorite songs on his record he has in his room.

-His favorite song to sing to you is "Oh Sheila" by Ready for the World (yes I know it's an 80s song but idc)

-Even though he likes singing and music he's terrible at dancing !!

-You like to take him step through step on how you dance and soon enough you both started to bust moves together

-His other favorite thing to do with you is animal watching also <3

-He likes to tell you all about his fascinations about animals: specifically reptiles, kangaroos, birds and insects. He keeps a book around to show you more information about them.

-He loves to watch animals from afar and you both start to voice over the animals giving them wacky voices.

-Pretending to make a funny documentary with both of your's voice overs was peak comedy and romance to him

-He enjoys making out in the sunset <3

I kinda rushed with this one, sorry! I'll try to upload more but thank you for the support and i'll see yall again. Bye-bye! MWAH!

ChosoChosoChoso

You’d be perfect

Like you he loves and cares about the people close to him, would die for them. Would understand you so well when you express your feelings about family and friends.

Being dependent is literally not a problem for him at all he want you to depend on him and come to him for everything. I do not think you’d ever be insecure with this man. Compliments you 24/7. If you are insecure reassures you immediately, probably sad that you feel that way.

Loves that you spend time with family, will definitely want to be around your family.

Secretly plays with your stuffies. (I’m curious about them too 🤭 I want a Nanami plush sooo bad.)

Content with sitting and watching you play video games, refuses to play them himself though.

Doesn’t get asked much about himself so he would be shocked that you want to hear about him.

Watches all the Godzilla movies with you , thinks it’s the best thing ever

Arcane season 2 opinions with the first few episodes: (spoilers under cut)

Episode one: fantastic start! Jaw dropping visuals, wonderful storytelling right off the bat, already had me crying, top tier voice acting as always and an AMAZING intro sequence! Immediately sets up conflict and throws us right back into the gut punch that is the Arcane storyline. And the score? Already fab. Already love it. Such a good start to the season we are so back baby! And also, like, what a way to introduce your themes and new cast members. I think the way they did that was fab and remains so throughout in this really nice blend of direct exposition and just letting a scene flow. Overall, there’s nothing particular I want to say about the first episode. I think it was fab and I have no real complaints. I like how it gets right into the nitty gritty that Arcane is known for whilst not shoving action straight down our throats: a subtle drip feeding.

Teeny weeny little bit of annoyance with the manner in which Vi ‘joins’ the enforcers but that’s a personal nit pick that really I myself am glossing over as it worked well with the story and wasn’t forced.

Episode 2: SOME OF MY FAVOURITE SCENES EVER OML. The parallels?? Mwah, love them. Love them to bits. “How could someone put all those holes in you?” CRYING, BAWLING MY EYES OUT GOOD GOD. Hate it, love it love it love it. Sucker? New favourite song, new favourite music video I adored the start of that (and the end but the Chem Barrons at the table? Good grief oml serve me some more I BEG) ISHA IS A LITTLE CUTIE, Sevika my woman, my wife I love you. I also really liked how the speech about Silco between her and Jinx really shows us their perception of him and just how warped it is.

It works well to set up a ton of tension and genuinely was so visually pleasing I just can’t. Like that whole scene with Sev’s new arm? Yes please 🙏. VIKTOR’S ARC IS COMING TOGETHER AND I AM EXCITED FOR IT! “It was affection that held us together” man that hurts and I’m here for it. We’ve gotten so much more Mel content I am loving it! Episode 2 is like everything to me already I enjoyed it so much all the different parallels and what not we’re deliciously executed!

Episode 3: THAT SCENE WITH THE GREY?? OH. MY. LORD. YES!!!

But…this is where I have problems (funnily enough also where I do in season 1). Not with the whole Cait-Vi-Jinx fight no. I think was that brilliant. But Ambessa. I did indeed roll my eyes at the reveal of her setting up conflict with Renni in order to secure what she wanted and the whole thing with the Guild merchant (nothing else with the though). Now, it’s not weak storytelling by any means it’s just a few personal “no no” tropes of mine. However, I am aware that this is only the third episode and a major stepping stone on setting up the rest of the season LIKE WITH WARRICK (omlomloml can’t wait) so I’m not going to elaborate too much on that bit. BACK ONTO POSITIVES: THE VISUALS? THE SMOKE-BOMB SCENE? FISHBONES BACK INTO PLAY? the absolute gut wrench of any and all Violyn scenes. WE GOT WAY MORE EKKO??? AND THAT WHOLE TRIP IN THE HEXGATES WAS JUST WOW! My poor gal Mel is suffering…

The animators have put their all into this season and it shows the visuals are FANTASTIC! Don’t even talk to me about the music it was so great I love it all.

I really like the way they’re setting up all these parallels! Almost makes me forget that most of my favs are dead (Cassandra, Silco, Renni, Greyson)

Overall I can’t wait for more Arcane

[samioli]

Hi Samioli 💕 it is me, anon with a crush and no tag. This may well be my last update, and I hope you are not too disappointed! The hangout and anime last night was very fun, and we had a good chance to talk about us and what that looks like. He said that he'd like to stay as just good friends, bc he's still kind of figuring himself and relationship stuff out tbh (he's not ever gone on a date), and that he doesn't want to jump in like this for a first try. Which I can get. Honestly I felt kinda relieved and very happy that y'know we're able to hang out and be friends and everything. I think the whole thing has made us closer and I'm happy of that too.

Obviously I am sad and disappointed and it will take me some time to kind of fully get over this long term crush. I don't feel led on in anyway, which is good! I just wish it could've been something we explored together. And I suppose, we've been friends for a long time, and we're going to be friends probably forever unless he suddenly does something uncharacteristically awful or doesn't want to be my friend (low chance, I'm cool as hell). There's always the chance for romance later. Platonic love and romantic love are both love. It's like that meme I saw that's like, it's about fundamentally liking them as a human person in the end tbh.

Anyway! I know this is quite a bit more of a mellow and melancholic update vs my previous unbounded gushing. I appreciate that I was able to share that happy giddiness with you and all though! And I'm happy that I've taken what is ultimately a rejection fairly well. I WILL listen to some sad music and cry, but I'm also making fun plans for this weekend and next weekend with many friends. I am joyous, I love life. Thanks for being a part of my life in a way :D

aw, anon

its been a day or two since you sent this, i hope things have been a bit better! rejection can suck, trust me, I've been through my fair share, but the good news is that you can always get back up.

that being said, i hope youve been having lots of ice cream and lil treats for yourself! sending lots of hugs, and yknow what they say, plenty of fish in the sea. I know sometimes your feelings for a person can remain for a long time, but hey, you have his friendship and it sounds like he really cares about you!! thank you for taking me on this journey with you, lovely anon. If you ever wanna chat in dms you can 100% do that, I'm here to listen! mwah <3

1x09, part 1. (let's go, suffering)

She's so right. And yeah, Silco did all of that & I still love him. Now I'm wondering, how old was he when he met Jinx and took her under his wing? He and Vander were already very much grown up men. How old is Silco now? How old was Silco when Vander tried to kill him?

The guards are SO confused. I absolutely adore their design. It's like they took them from Dishonored universe, upgraded to a modern level and animated in a different way.

I said this multiple time, but this show is absolutely gorgeous. It's worth watching for everything: the visuals, the music, the story. I can't say I like the original material, but this adaptation? Mwah. Chef's kiss.

Oohh, I love that expression. In just one little scoff there are so many emotions. He doesn't even KNOW where she is. He always let her do her thing & now this is what he gets.

I am so :((((

Listen. If they're going to start hunting Jinx in S2.... *nervous laughter*

The fact Jayce was ready to kill himself and Viktor saved him with "Am I interrupting?" and now Viktor was ready to fall and Jayce saves him with the same line. *screams* PARALLELS!!!

I'm so fucking sad for them.

But then comes Mel with her "we need to weaponize it" and what will Jayce do? Of fucking course. You're a fucking liar, Jayce. Gods, Viktor deserves so much better. I hope they do him and his story justice in s2.

Oh, to gif this. Leave my man alone, he did all of that & I love him.

I genuinely don't know how he managed to keep Sevika on his side (because she left Vander and Silco gave it all to her? Because he managed to do what Vander was afraid to do while she wanted war?), because it's obvious how she scared him with this move, but oh my god.

Jinx is his beloved. Sevika, on the other hand, is his guard dog. I still think about her jumping in front of Silco to protect him as Jinx's monkey was blowing up. My goodness, she's amazing.

He talks to her, he keeps it real, he doesn't bullshit her. They respect each other. She even picks up Finn's lighter and lights Silco's cigar. Ahhhh. The guard dog trope!! And in this particular case? Truly platonic.

What are your thoughts on Kung Fu Panda?

PS MWAH

MWAH MWAH smooches and more smooches!!!

I was putting off answering this because I wanted to fully communicate to you how much I LOVE KUNG FU PANDA!!!!

I have absolutely no training in any form of martial arts except for that one camp I went to for a week, where my instructor told me if we knocked down a cylindrical punching structure he’d pay for a trip to Disney world, and I almost! ALMOST knocked it down!!! So for a few years I thought I’d squandered a trip to Disney world but came to the sorrowing conclusion that he would’ve never bought me a ticket to Disney world even if I had indeed knocked it over— ANYWAY TANGENT ASIDE, I can’t answer to the accuracy of any techniques these plushy anthropomorphic animals use hehe

Kung fu panda (and How to train your dragon) are some of my FAVORITE tween classics. If I have kids, they will watch these trilogies, and they WILL love them as much as I do >:)

This may be a hot take, but my fav of the 3 movies is the 2nd one….

SPOILERS FOR ALL 3 KUNG FU PANDA MOVIES! (Haven’t watched any of the shows so I can’t comment on them)

1st movie: absolute cinematic master piece. Loved the animation, loved the story, adored the music/score, loved everything about it. I’ve watched dozens of analysis videos on this trilogy, and I can say with the greatest of confidence that it was phenomenal. It asked a great question (one I did not pick up for about a decade lol) . Who am I? (As Po)

As a child I never put 2 and 2 together to figure out that Ping the goose, adopted Po LOL I just thought yup this goose materialized this panda yup that’s natural.

Tai Lung is one of my favorite villains of all time and his connection with Shifu is so crucial and heartbreaking. Loved how Po learned about discipline yet never lost what made him special and unique. The designs are great and Ping is the best father up there with STOICK THE VAST 💪

2nd movie: great example of growing with the audience— it takes a much darker tone to the first one. Hans Zimmer is a literal music genius and his scores are just MNGH. This movie forces Po to confront his tragic past, and asks him who he was. Personally very touching, as the lesson was that your past is a part of you but does not solely define you. Watching Po come to terms with the death of his people was harrowing, yet satisfying as he finds his inner piece. The entire color palette changes to red, black, white, and gold and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Love Po and Tigris’ relationship and seeing how the furious 5 come to accept him and trust him as their new leader and friend. Also Ping is the best.

3rd movie: haven’t watched it in a while, and definitely the weakest of the 3, but wow it’s still amazing. I don’t have many thoughts since I’ve watched this only 2 or 3 times, but I love all the pandas 🐼 loved dim and sum and all the food names pandas. A very slight nitpick was how Po’s bio father was depicted in the flashback of the 2nd movie vs how he is in the 3rd movie, but all can be forgiven. The animation is stellar in this movie tho and the color palette is such a vibrant green and fresh feel! Ugh loved these all. I was absolutely mortified when the ox did villain (I forgot his name) destroyed Oogway’s statue. Oh, man, I was HOT with FURY!

General thoughts:

I think I like the 2nd movie better is because of the personal connection Shen has with Po.

Tai lung was connected to Shifu and the ox dude was connected to Oogway, but Shen was the direct reason why Po’s mother was killed and why his village was destroyed. Also. GARY OLDMAN. EXCUSE ME! The animation of the Shen as the peacock is just. I cannot take my eyes off the screen. The voice acting is everything.

I’m definitely forgetting things but this is all I can remember right now. UGH I LOVE THESE MOVIES!
