Nitpick November day 23

I would have liked to see Ruby build, or at least design, more weapons. We know that she built Crescent Rose and that thing is basically a flawless Grimm killing machine, but I can't help but wonder if she should also be interested in making more than just the one weapon.

I can imagine Ruby's bedroom having a separate workshop area where she can stay up all night building models and prototypes for her weapons. Or carrying around a sketchbook full of doodles and notes on all her different weapon ideas. Or help out her friends with upgrading or fixing their weapons.

Like, Ruby has this one really cool character trait that I wish we actually got to see more of. Let this girl have a hyper fixation and special interest in weapons god damn it!

Nitpick November Day 27

It still drives me insane that James and Qrow only talk to each other during the first three episodes of volume 7 and then never again. Shouldn’t they have like something to say to each other? Why not talk about Tyrian trying to kidnap Ruby and thus proving he’s working with Salem? Why not Qrow express concern that someone might try and take Ruby again? Or talk about their feelings about Leo and what he did? Qrow questioning if The Inner circle falling apart is his fault like STRQ? James leaning on Qrow because he’d been alone for so long and being so relieved that he has people he can trust back in his life?

With how much episode one emphasized how exhausted and beaten down James looked you would think something would actually come from all of that. But it doesn’t, it’s just tossed aside and forgotten and James and Qrow never speak again.

Nitpick November #5 because I didn't feel like doing 30 of these things: The Hair

Blake's hair. Blake's freaking inky black hair that I bitched about that other time and am devoting a whole post to, yes.

Complete with re-used gif, yes.

Okay, let me get this straight: out of all the characters whose hair you could cut, you pick...Blake? When Weiss and Yang are right there?

Weiss' and Yang's hair are very important parts of their characters! Weiss' hair was stated by Monty to be tied to the side as a small means of rebellion against her strict parenting and environment, refusing to be totally pristine and symmetrical the way they Jacques wanted.

Cutting one's hair is a sign of rebellion in several places around the world, and it's a thing that's even bled into America where Rooster Teeth are stationed. Weiss cutting her super-long hair as a sign of cutting away her toxic family legacy would've been amazing! And she'd look so good, too!

Yang, too. Yang's hair is her thing. We know she's super touchy about it and reacts very badly to it being cut or damaged--or at least she did. This could be a big moment for her, another moment where she decides to cast off her old self, since her hair is tied to her emotions and implicitly her anger/semblance, which she decided not to rely on as of Volume 5, right? Let me tell you something, Yang's hair being short, only to appear long again due to the flames trailing it when she activates her semblance against Elm, or any other enemy? That would've been super cool!

But you pick Blake, because...I don't know, I guess. There's no reason Blake can't cut her hair, but by god I don't know why you'd choose her ahead of the above two when they could get more out of that.

Nitpick November 10

What does Cinder's emblem mean? Like, it's not one she picked or designed herself it appeared when she stole half of Amber's maiden powers and nothing was added on to it when she got the rest of the powers. It's not a mark symbolizing that she is the fall maiden and it doesn't look like any of Salem's glyphs. I have a feeling it was just a tattoo then M&K tried to make it something important and then forgot.

Nitpick November #8

Oz is responsible for creating the Atlas/Mantle class divide when he used the staff to raise Atlas and at no point is this ever brought up. Like instead of using the staff to defend and provide for all of the citizens in that kingdom he used it...to do That. why? who knows. And it’s weird because the God of Light tasked Oz with uniting humanity, but we don’t even know if that’s something he wants to do. From the looks of things I guess he doesn’t.

For the reincarnation au: What do the girls think of the film?

Story time!

When they first hear about the film, it’s early November, just before it came out in cinemas. They watch the trailer together and… well, Dolores thinks it’ll be awful and doesn’t really care; Isabela is the one suggesting to sue Disney; Mirabel is in denial; and Luisa is open to giving it a chance.

Thinking it’ll be funny to boo at, Isabela gets tickets for them all to see it at the cinema.

Dolores takes them for a trail run of a cinema trip to see a different film, so they know what to do - she will know how to keep Isabela on her best behaviour and Mirabel won’t be as anxious. The trip is successful and they all are looking forward to the film a little bit more.

24th November, 2021…

Mirabel manages roughly 8.5 seconds (“This is where our magic comes from?”) before leaving. Because of how early into the film they were and sudden her departure was, the others don’t worry initially. Maybe she just needed the bathroom. They are a few minutes in (‘The Family Madrigal’) when Luisa decides to check on her. She finds her sister outside the building. Realising that the film is triggering her PTSD, Luisa does take her home and spends the evening comforting or distracting her.

Because of the no phones rule, Dolores and Isabela don’t see the texts from Luisa until after the film. Speaking of, they both really enjoyed the film - though do think it was a bit invasive to watch without Mirabel herself. Like reading a diary.

Luisa still wants to see it but doesn’t want to go alone. However, rather than buy more tickets, they wait for it to come out on Disney+ (which they have).

25th December, 2021…

Christmas evening, they sit down and try to all watch it again. Mirabel doesn’t do any better, ultimately hiding in the garage until it’s over. Luisa enjoys her ‘I told you it wouldn’t suck’ moment.

Since then the other three have rewatched it and definitely download the soundtrack. Isabela and Luisa have a competition to spot merch before the other/who has the better merch when they are out shopping. If the songs play on the radio, they will sing along. They mock each other a lot too with lines. Dolores makes a list of music critiques (and will definitely show them to Lin & Germaine in the future).

Overall, the older girls like the film. It wasn’t accurate by any means, but it was a funnier and happy version of what actually happened. The animation is beautiful, the songs/soundtrack is really strong, the actors did great. Their only nitpick is the script, but they do eventually accept it was a family film and they had only so much time.

Mirabel doesn’t take it well at all. And basically keeps herself housebound for January to March 2022 because she doesn’t want to hear or see anything about the film. The others respect she’s uncomfortable and try to keep her apart from it when they are out and about.

leFlacon, The Sleeper II

Finally, it has arrived. 

Read more for a lot of nitpicking and complaining.

To be honest, I’m a bit bothered about this release...I preordered it in November of 2021 (!) and it was supposed to ship in spring of 2022, but was delayed due to pandemic/factory delay reasons. Which is understandable, but again and again, leflacon kept telling me “it will be ready in july... august... november...” until finally, a year after the original ship date, they are ready.

I have mixed feelings about leFlacon in general. I find their quality not up to the price point (even on Taobao, which is cheaper than their global store), and the final product can differ from the listing/sample photos. Whether or not the sample pictures are just photographed really well (a lot of them seem to be overexposed or blown out, so it’s difficult to see the quality of material), or the sample is really a totally different piece, only the shop knows, I suppose. What I especially notice is that the sample piece can differ in dimensions/proportions compared to the final product, although the measurements provided in the listing itself are accurate, so don’t worry about that.

Anyways, despite the above, I like and own a couple leFlacon items with mixed feelings that vary on the item. I had felt a little snubbed in the past, but I still like leFlacon’s designs and brand concept, so I decided to take a gamble and purchase this one. Not sure if the long delay was some kind of sign, though.

The quality is fine--I definitely received what was on the tin, I think. The construction is also fine, and I don’t see any glaring problems with the stitching. But here are some notes I felt like making about the piece (good and bad):

The material is quite thin. 

It’s cotton, and this thinness could be considered an advantage--slightly gauzy and nice for summer. It does wrinkle easily, but I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. The dress has a kind of frumpiness in its design with its long length and oversized sleeves, so wrinkles make it feel comfy and lived-in if the wrinkles are in areas that would happen naturally with wear (and not like you put it on after stuffing it in your closet in a ball).

The dress is completely unlined, not even in the bodice. 

Not really a problem since I imagine most will wear with a petticoat/underskirt and camisole, but I wasn’t expecting unlined (I don’t own other leFlacon dresses, only accessories, so I’m not sure if this is normal for the brand). I think this might be due to the insertion lace making adding lining costly/difficult, but it wouldn’t have been impossible. Not a dealbreaker, but odd, I think, since the material is so thin it’s see-through.

(Although, the seraphim OP below seems unlined too, so maybe that’s just how these things are.)

All of the lace is synthetic (except the bottom “lace” panel)

leFlacon seems to use stretch lace a lot, which I think has the advantage of being both very cost effective and soft/not scratchy. It may have a tiny bit of a glittery effect or sheen due to the synthetic content. Some may actually prefer this, but I’m not a fan, personally. After spending so many years surrounded by cotton lace pieces, I think synthetic lace just doesn’t feel as delicate to me.

All of the wider lace portions (such as the bib lace and sleeve ribbons) are stretchy. The insertion lace portion uses a convincingly historical looking bobbin lace portion, but it is also synthetic (nylon, maybe?). It looks completely fine from far away and presents no problems, but I also think that synthetic really pales in comparison to real cotton bobbin lace. Pictured is a small length taken from my stash, purchased from Japan, but originally imported from France. 

I recall brands such as Seraphim use high quality cotton lace for their insertion portions, so they’re out there.

Edit: A late thought, but I should note that Pink House (which is one of leFlacon’s style inspirations) uses high quality cotton lace like the above on their pieces (notably the underskirts which have insertion lace) as well.

Seraphim, Miranda OP 

The bottom of the dress uses an embroidered cotton lace panel. The density of the embroidered threads is not as high as some other brand lace I’ve seen in the past, and has a slightly blurry appearance because of it.

(Not as sharp a photo as I would like, but hopefully the point is expressed...)

Compare old AP lace with newer (almost all pieces from 2019 or so, though the following example is older) custom lace. AP hasn’t used lace with a cotton base very often in recent years, so it was difficult for me to think of an example. Below is tulle lace, which utilizes the same concepts.

AP Creamy Cherry (2017) top; Wrapping Cherry (2016) bottom

However, I think it would be unreasonable to expect a brand at this price point (despite my price complaints) to find a large panel of very high quality cotton lace to use on the dress, which would likely be very costly, so don’t consider this a real complaint.

...

and the menial gripes:

Skirt centre seam

The skirt joins with a long seam right down the middle, to join the skirt details into its signature ‘V’ shape. The seam ends at the horizontal pintuck portion. I was under the impression that a seam in a place so obvious is a bit of a no-no, but because of the skirt pintucks and V shape, I believe logistically it made the most sense to just sew it all up with a centre seam. But, I don’t have to like this or the way it looks, and I still think there are ways to prevent the seam along the top portion of the skirt.

A centre seam also seems to make the fabric inclined to fold in where it is located (at the middle), which I don’t love but I suppose it hides the seam and looks pretty normal.

Bib lace

I wouldn’t consider this a real gripe, but the bib lace doesn’t extend all the way to the back. This is a design decision you can see from the stock photo scratch that, I just checked and there are almost no pictures of the back, only one photo where the model is turned slightly to the side so you get the slightest glimpse, but it is definitely not the focus.

I did strike me as a bit weird because the pieces I’m used to looking at have lace up to the back.

Sheglit, Edelweiss OP

A random Gunne Sax dress referenced from some seller on Poshmark because I don’t own any GS dresses with this type of bib (very sorry seller for using your photo, someone please send me a photo I can use)

Price

The preorder price at the time for this piece was 968 RMB total (368 at the end of 2021, 600 in 2023...I note this because the exchange rate has fluctuated wildly in that time). For the delay, all customers who preordered (on Taobao, I don’t know about the global store) were entitled to a tiny refund of 30 RMB, plus free shipping (11 RMB value).

The dress is back on preorder right now for about 200 RMB more (1280 I think), and $269 USD on the global store.

Conclusion?

To be clear, I do like the dress, and I really like the design! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even purchased it in the first place. I’m happy to finally have the piece in my hands, and opted to wait it out instead of asking for a refund for a reason. I do feel like I received the piece I ordered, I just wanted to write down my mental complaints. This post is mostly for me, and I’m probably going to be embarrassed later, writing so much about the minutiae...

Yo that weird ass photo it's Chris's soul leaving.

Or he pulled a bucky and just ripped off one sleeve- it's skin toned all the way to the shoulder

That's seriously one of the weird parts about the photo, An🫶n.

I'd believe that the photo is real, old (November 16, 2022, to be specific) and definitely not photoshopped if that damn arm wasn't so weird looking.

And I'm probably nitpicking, maybe even clowning, but WTF is Stanley Tucci doing there. Okay, Scarlett, Colin, Chris, and maybe even Albitch herself. But Stanley seems a little random, and that's the thing that stands out to me.

And am I the only one questioning as to how and why they're even there? And why wasn't this brought to the GP until almost exactly a year after?

Well, photoshopped or not, I'm glad Albitch at least looks like a petulant child being scolded. She deserves more, honestly.

Nitpick November 30th

I just realized that the way Qrow stores harbinger makes no sense.

He doesn't have a belt that he can hook his sword onto like Ruby does, and yet he's able to hold it on his lower back regardless. What is up with that? Did a belt just not work with his silhouette or was this just a massive oversight on the part of the character designer? Either way it looks really awkward when you notice it, there's not even something like Blake's magnet to be used instead of a hook, it's just floating there.

Nitpick November Day 22

Why does well anyone live so far away from anyone else? This is Taiyangs house which is just in the middle of nowhere. 

Though he is a hunter and thus could reasonably protect himself, but I would think even so people would want to live closer together for better protection rather then out on their own where it would be hard to get help quickly if they needed it. And in a world where souless man eating monsters are attracted to negative emotions I just feel like people would be overly cautious and try to protect themselves as much as possible, not leave themselves vulnerable by living in the middle of nowhere. 

[salt-volk]

I for one love this November 2022 P0ppy energy like idgaf in my eyes she defeated her haters by showing up here. Y'all can complain all you want that it was a bad idea but to me it's just noise cuz P0ppy looks mature asf while the people trying to nitpick... calmly posting off anon on this blog to stick up for yourself and others and start conversations about DV's shitty mechanics... just look petty

My #1 post of 2022

I feel like any read of NitW that concludes that you're meant to dislike Mae because "she is a horrible person," which there are many of, is a reading that fundamentally misunderstands the game and how it forces you to key in to her humanity and hopes you empathize with her.

I think my favorite moment like that is at lategame in an optional conversation with Pastor K where Mae ends up upset at how the pastor said she also has difficulty believing in god sometimes.

Of course even Mae realizes she just behaved like a dick to Kate by asking her what the point of her job is if she can't definitively tell people that a higher power is real... and Kate is 100% correct in saying that it wouldn't actually do any good for her to get up in church and tally how many times she believed during that week. It's a discussion about Faith.

But it's important to see that interaction in concert with what's happening in Mae's life: not just the mental illness she's dealing with, but also that time she met who she believed to be God... and it pretty much told her it doesn't really care.

Mae's young adult alienation is a key theme of the game and at that moment, all she wanted was to have someone tell her there is an easy answer to everything, but once again, Pastor K correctly tells her there isn't one... which ties back into what the cat god said... and once again makes Mae feel lost, directionless and adrift in life.

You can understand why, even though she messes up a lot, sometimes on purpose, sonetimes not, she would feel the way she does - and making the climax of the plot heavily tied into her emotional journey is cogent with a narrative that wants people to get better, even if it may not happen all at once.

Watched School of Chocolate and I loved it for the most part. It was, indeed, a school and Chef Amaury did teach the contestants quite a bit about working with chocolate and pastries. And the contestants were really talented and open to learn and compete.

Didn't care for Melissa, tho. She kept using that tired "I'm used to being the boss" line people use when they don't want to be respectful of their teammates. She acted annoyed by anyones ideas but her own and was convinced that if she wasn't in control then they wouldn't succeed. She was condescending, nitpicking, passive aggressive and tiresome. So when her plan to use Tyricia to win a challenge bc she just knew she was better than her actually backfired, you'd best believe I cackled loudly. "How did she win off of my piece?" like they didn't build that thing together. Cry me river, bitch.

*ahem* Overall the show is very enjoyable and a quick watch 😀

Bel Air is looking mighty good after these first episodes. The casting and characterizations are wonderful and the rebooted storyline is the very definition of a fresh take. If you were a fan of the original 90s sitcom you'll recognize the obvious plot points immediately and how they've been made to fit the show's altered direction. The changes made to cover the switch from mid 90s to early 2020s are all simple enough to be believable. The show has been made over into a full blown drama that gets heavier every episode but still has heart and humor. There's even some interesting new character dynamics to make sure the hour long episodes aren't completely focused on Will, even though he is still the main. It's a re-imagining in the truest sense and imo really enjoyable.

Wakanda Forever is awesome from beginning to end. I really must give props to everyone involved bc it is absolutely fantastic. There were tears, of course, at the dedications, flashbacks and homages to Chadwick Boseman. But the story moves on and it does so with a clear direction. I was glued to the story and not a moment or character was wasted or misused. I honestly haven't enjoyed a Marvel film this much since the first Black Panther. If you're on the fence or worried that it failed as a worthy sequel I can tell you (in my opinion) you have nothing to fear. Wakanda Forever is a great movie and you should go see it.

🗣"FUCK YOU, SHORSEY!!" Those brilliant bastards at Letterkenny took an Atari-style blip of one dimensional comedic relief and respawned him into a fully rendered high definition protagonist complete with a backstory and a character arc. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it (and I would not have seen it if Hulu didn't remember how much I like Letterkenny and suggest the show bc I had completely forgotten about it).

In six episodes they manage to show that Shorsey is not just a talented and hyper competitive hockey playing asshole with unmatched shit talking skills and a penchant for pulling off violent dirty plays. It's revealed that he has a lot that he truly cares about: winning, loyalty, family, and his team. They take him past being enjoyable for being funny and make him likable for being himself. But he's still as ruthlessly insulting as ever so don't think he's gone soft. The show also introduced a slew of all new characters in a brand new town and they're just as uniquely endearing as anyone Shorsey left behind in Letterkenny. Since it's from Jared Keeso and company there were lots of well earned laughs to go with a rather interesting plot. If you're already a fan of Letterkenny I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by what's been built out of Shorsey, so check it out

I became a kpop stan in 2018 but didn't really become a multistan until the end of 2019; and then the world shut down. I have to ask, was it common for so many groups to be touring at the same time pre-covid? Don't get me wrong, I'm beyond thrilled to be able to see so many groups in person, but I mean...

January: Ateez ✅️

February: Monsta X

May: Monsta X✅️

June: Stray Kids✅️

September: Seventeen, Verivery

October: Omega X, NCT 127, Enhypen

November: Lay, Ateez (These are the same weekend btw right after Thanksgiving)

Now, do I need to go to so many shows? No. Do I want to? Yes. Seventeen and NCT 127 are going to start enlisting soon and I want to see them before they go. The only reason I'm not going to NCT is because the date they're in Newark is the same day I'm flying to Chicago for Enhypen. Which I'm only doing because the Enhypen NYC stop isn't a great venue and tickets are being resold for $400 for the very back. When is the next time I'm going to be able to see Omega X? They're relatively quiet rookies and the oldest is expected to enlist next year. Do I need to see Ateez twice in the same year? No, but my seats last time weren't great and I want to be able to see them better.

Back to my question: was this normal before? Or should I expect to be broke for a while?

Trying to write a fic, and while I know what I want the end results to be, I'm struggling to put what I want into actual words. Trying to base it off a personal experience, but I can't just dive into the main event. Without a build-up, it makes no sense unless the reader also has the same experience. But also I feel like the build-up is taking too long and not going how I want.

I have finally finished setting up my kpop collection! Lights are up, albums are organized, lightsticks are in place, it's perfect

Just as a nitpick, I might get a string of those battery operated wire lights for the top just so the poster/record/seasons greetings aren't so dark

Next step is to finish unpacking and get everything else put away

Nitpick N(Oct)ovember #2: Gravity

Part of @odsalt's RWDE Nitpick November event.

Every time I see RWBY try to use characters falling down a chasm or cliff as a cheap way to raise the stakes and make me scared for their safety, I get really, really pissed off.

Let me remind you, Team RWBY, lest you forget you could do this on your literal first day of school:

You have Semblances. You have guns that propel you through recoil - i.e. the coolest method of propulsion ever. You're certified "pro Huntresses" now and you can't even perform better than yourselves as freshmen?

RWBY is the one, one fictional setting where death by falling should be a non-issue for the characters. Can I still like the fight? Sure. Is someone stupid for not thinking it's a big deal? No, they're not. But if you're selling the badass idea where people can fly using bullets and you have them explicitly not doing that, then what's the big deal?

It's like telling me people can control the elements in Avatar but sometimes they just... randomly forget how to for no reason, even though they're not unconscious, restrained or anything? They just... don't?

Okay. And you just decided to make your show more boring and frustrating to watch, because...?

Nitpick November #3

I can accept that artists make the inside of PoC’s palms the same color as the outside because it’s easier, and that’s a discussion for another day, but if you’re gonna do that why would you have a scene that focus on said palms? Not to mention the fact that Emerald’s hands are completely devoid of any lines to the point that they look more like weird tentacles than anything else.
