until capcom proves me otherwise, this is my interpretation of leon throughout the entire film

[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

"spoiling the trailer" jesus fucking christ

Last night (well, this morning, really; it was like 3am) I slipped and fell down a Loki disk horse rabbit hole and, to be frank, I am already exhausted and season 2 hasn't even started yet. I'm not gonna lie, idk if I'm going to be able to fandom-along for season 2; I might just end up quietly watching on my own and keeping my thoughts to myself. Which - isn't as fun, really, so lol fuck me I guess.

I finally watched the Transformers One trailer and was startled by the voices, the buddy cop-esque feel to it, and the fact that the target audience age is clearly significantly lower than I expected, but Bayverse bent over backwards trying to be as ~serious~ and boring and edgy as possible for 50 movies in a row, so you know what? I welcome the silliness with open-arms.

(Also I DID scream when the Quintessons showed up because HOLY CRAP—)

[raziiyah]

wow i love animated dreamworks wolves

Oh whoa. I’m looking at holiday Barbie’s through the years and just saw this one

Like okay I’ve been admiring the Barbie stylists for years, but I think this is the first explicitly Asian holiday Barbie from what I’ve seen? Other iterations have been some range between black, white, and “ambiguous.” Just very cool.

[eifri]

just as a heads up, i have still not finished the game. i am very slow and walk around like i'm sightseeing in game / do every side quest / talk to every npc / pet torgal every few minutes. if you post explicit spoilers without tags or a read more, i may softblock temporarily ( if you don't wish to follow back at a later date that's fine )

[musemelodies]

do i have high expectations for tiny toons looniversity? no.

have i finally accepted the change to buster and babs’ relationship? NO. GROSS. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

am i still gonna watch it because at the very least, it looks less cynical than the animaniacs reboot and i’m a sucker? ...yes.

the ffxiv youtube posting a full yorha dark apocalypse trailer for the release of the rest of the anime while the community is already big mad after they have made the groundbreaking discovery that they like endwalker less than shadowbringers

surely only the most insightful of commentaries will follow *braces for impact*

me? i'm just over here full on seething that the stupid lore bullshit that people are mad about is continuing to rob me of 'yoko taro decided to write his most overtly political work in a video game crossover' discourse

[violetganache42]

Yep. Mario movie still looking mid as fuck.

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

I think if/when they use Take On Me in the show proper I will be passing away, actually

So with the terrible Minecraft movie trailer dropping,

I've seen a lot of people bringing up better stories in the world of Minecraft, like Story Mode or the books or the SMPs, but may I add another option that would be a way better use of your time and money than the Minecraft movie (esp cuz its free)?

Animation Vs. Minecraft

(Note: contains out of context spoilers for this series to give you a sneak peek of what's waiting for you)

There's a good chance you've seen the first video, since it's one of the most watched minecraft videos on youtube, made by the same guy who did Animation vs Animator.

But did you know that the stick figures pick the game back up and continue the series?

There are now three completed seasons packed with fun episodic content that naturally blossoms into a larger, engrossing story that amounts to /several hours of animated content/. It's got fun characters, gorgeous fight scenes, and even musical numbers, all told with next to no dialogue!

The whole thing is a love letter to Minecraft, with way more passion and knowledge of the game than WBS.

New episodes would show off the latest updates, like when the main characters explored the ancient cities and lush caves before they were officially released.

There are even homages to the Minecraft animation community, such as the episode featuring Monster School (my favorite part of this is the way they purposefully imitate the old janky animation in Herobrine's movements)

Not a fan of piglins always being villains? While there's certainly some bad piglins in this series (though I'd argue they're under duress), the main cast also befriends some, include this adorable piglin child.

Still not over Reuben's death from MSM? Well they've also got a pig (named Reuben by the community), and it both doesn't die, and occasionally does some badassery himself!

Speaking of the action, this series doesn't just reference minecraft's world and creatures: it expands on the mechanics and worldbuilding, creating avenues for some truly incredible action that can only be achieved within minecraft. It takes full advantage of the medium and world.

My personal favorite example of this is the team's expansion on the Lucky Blocks mod, exploring the idea of a "randomizer" power to its fullest extent.

The action scenes are the kind where you have to watch them five times over because each character is doing something completely unique and fun.

Here is all the episodes of season 1 compiled in one video to get you started, though there are also playlists out there:

All in all, this series is funny, gripping, and adorable, and is worth your attention far better than some corporate schlock.
