wait WAIT I'VE GOT IT
THEY SHOULD DO THE ZELDA MOVIE LIKE THE PRINCESS BRIDE WHERE IT'S A GRANDPA TELLING THE STORY TO HIS GRANDKID
#legend of zelda#zelda movie#loz movie#rambles from the floor#any inconsistencies can be chalked up to the grnadpa being dramatic or 'making it a better story'#the kid is like 'were those octopus bad guys that shot rocks really called octorocks' and the grandpa is just like 'yes stop interrupting'#plot twist the grandpa is like Link or looks vaguely like him#no no wait he can look like Link's uncle/Talon/Tarin YES#actually yknow what the whole movie should just be sort of like the princess bride#goofy and heartfelt!!!!#they should put me in charge of this movie i have great ideas

*wakes up in a cold sweat* the reason the black rose arc had to be forgotten by everyone is because its foundational tenet operated on giving the Brides agency to protest against their role in the dueling system and seek to leave it, further exemplified by its final shot being that of anthy's complicitness in the dueling game. the black rose arc gives a 'voice to the voiceless' and exploits their rage against their lives into rage against the Bride - which though it furthers ohtori's system of oppression (the dueling game is built upon exploiting the internal conflicts of the duelists after all), the methodology of giving 'voices' to the Brides by allowing them to Speak Their Mind within the framework of 'self improvement' via seeking out therapy is shown to be antithetical to ohtori academy as a whole because true self actualization of the bride will mean the end of ohtori academy as a system. in this essay i will
#okay so i understand this may not make sense but i think of the show as being in four distinct parts#the stucouncil arc is the duelist's story and their motivations#the black rose arc is the *bride's* side of the story and their motivations#the car arc is the culmination of duelist and bride#the final apocalypse saga is the prince-princess-witch trinity#the duelist's version of the story is the only version that is allowed to be remembered by the world at large because *they* hold the power#the brides are only allowed to exist in relation to their duelists#hence why the black rose arc needed to be forgotten#rgu#revolutionary girl utena#tenjou utena#himemiya anthy#utenanthy#therapyvator arc#black rose saga

I’m not saying I’ve never done it before, but the “pssshhhhttt that’s not very realistic” arguments in entertainment are so annoying.
No crap. I don’t want to watch a movie about you waking up and scratching your butt and going to sit in your cubicle and coming home and watching The Office reruns while you eat Mexican takeout.
I want stories that are funny, insane, grand. Compelling. It doesn’t have to be “realistic” it just has to make you believe by its own magic. That’s what I want. There’s a reason the oldest stories that have survived time are epics
#like shut up and watch titanic or twister or the mummy and enjoy it dammit#I mean cmon the princess bride is arguably one of the best movies ever made#and it doesn’t have to be all fairytales#when Harry met sally is top notch romance story telling#like bro. true intellectualism requires an appreciation for good storytelling#I cannot stand pseudointellectualism

To the homies, me, who love stories like
Where Shen Quingqui tells Binghe like- modern world stories in hopes to try and preserve as much of White Lotus Binghe -
I am shaking and gleefully wondering about the implications of him pulling a Princess Bride. Telling Binghe the story of Wesley and Buttercup (probably changing the names) - Binghe coming out of the Abyss with Wesley in his mind
He has a kinda Xin Mo charged idea of disguising himself. SQQ sees through it and wonders if Binghe is worried he outted him as a demon.
(SQQ kinda trying to imply Wesley didn’t go through with turning Humperdink into a stick despite almost killing him and the one he loves).
#svsss#shen quingqiu#luo binghe#bingqui#i bet you there is a Chinese version of the princess bride I just didn’t look it up prior to this#Princess bride my beloved#fic recommendations#fic rec#I love the headcanons that SQQ was a story teller#he loves stories so much#he loves trashy stories but i definitely see him adoring good books

We need to bring back 80's style fantasy movies ASAP, it's the only way we can save cinema!
Grab a bunch of special effect makeup artists, synth music, hyper realistic puppets, matte paintings, scale models, and most importantly, a pop rock band that simply will never make it to compose the theme song based on just the title of the movie and nothing more.
Quick, guys, we need to save cinema!

Couple little things of reading to Leola, in three stages of quality. Realms Beyond Time isn't exactly at-age reading material, but it still sure makes her sleep.
Plus Discworld??? And The Dark Crystal??? (with friends)
Or at the very least, loving homages that could realistically exist 2000 years in the past. I should actually solidify what kind of stories Leola was told...
#TDP#The Dragon Prince#tdp leola#TDP Aaravos#tdp spoilers#y'all can look. Respectfully.#the age old tradition of traumatizing children with the Dark Crystal#I had to look for a preview of the novelization at the very least#Emergency sleepover provision of Y'all Wanna Listen to My Dad Read Something Horrifying But Fascinating???#Also have no idea how Discworld would work as a story but here's a Turtle World Legend anyway#It was so tempting to write 'You hear that sound#It would be the Agonizingly Long 'original' Princess Bride that most surely have put all those kids to sleep within the second chapter

I need people who are “apologizing for hating MCSM” to actually PLAY the game and realize there is WAY more than just the wither storm.
There’s portals. Redstone computers. Skyblock. Murder mystery with YouTubers. Spleef. Underwater temples. Admins. Prison escapes. Identity theft. Power of friendship. Potatoes. Fighting. Giants. Torture. Revenge. True love!

Adventures in the Northern Wilds pt. 2
<previous - next>
#Final Fantasy XIV#FFXIV#Erenville#WoL x Erenville#erenwol#X'vahl Tia#Erenvahl#Dawntrail spoilers#ffxiv spoilers#I struggled with this one...#like a lot...#one because the in game choices were fucking horrible and weirdly awkward here imo#and also because there's so much dialogue in this part#and I needed to cut it down to not be 30 panels long#while keeping the plot moving#and keeping it relatively accurate#I *could've* left it out#since it's largely the same as what happens in-game#but I felt like this part was necessary for the overarching story.#Also I got to make a Princess Bride reference :)#all the additional exposition happens later
