Cine: Un mundo extraño (2022)

Jaeger Clade (Dennis Quaid) es una leyenda de Avalonia, un explorador que desea que su hijo Searcher (Jake Gyllenhall) siga sus pasos. Ambos emprenden un viaje con el objetivo de hallar un descubrimiento que mejore la vida de los habitantes del pueblo. En el camino, ambos se distancian: mientras el padre se dispone a continuar hacia el otro lado de la montaña, Searcher encuentra Pando, una planta a la que considera hay que investigar sus propiedades. Esto produce una ruptura entre ambos que culmina con Jaeger siguiendo su aventura y el muchacho retornando a Avalonia y convirtiéndose en un granjero cuyo producto esencial, Pando, acaba motivando el progreso esperado para el pueblo.

Veinticinco años más tarde, ya casado con Meridian (Gabrielle Union) y con Ethan (Jaboukie Young-White), un hijo de dieciséis años intrigado por la fama de su abuelo, Searcher no tiene más opción que iniciar una cruzada para investigar el origen de la repentina enfermedad que afecta a Pando y que amenaza el bienestar de Avalonia.

Rebosante de seres fantásticos y de una paleta de colores brillantes que quitan el aliento, es más que obvio que Don Hall, director de otros clásicos de Disney como “Grandes héroes” (Big Hero 6, 2014), “Moana” (2016) o “Raya y el último dragón” (Raya and the Last Dragon, 2021), ha intentado homenajear las revistas pulp y el cine de ciencia ficción clase B de mediados del siglo XX. 

Ya desde el principio, esta película sufrió los embates de la polémica debido a la inclusión de un personaje gay, el primero en una película de Disney: se trata de Ethan, enamorado de su amigo Diazo (Jonathan Melo), cuya sexualidad no sorprende ni espanta a nadie; su padre pide que le hable de Diazo y su abuelo, que ni siquiera sabía que tenía un nieto, lo toma con la mayor naturalidad posible. La polémica perjudicó seriamente el rendimiento del filme, que se convirtió en el mayor fracaso animado en la historia de la compañía del ratón.

Album Review: Throw The Fight - Strangeworld (Long Branch Records)

Sometimes you don’t need to hear much to understand just why a band has hit such a popular stage in such a short amount of time. Sometimes their hard rock and alternative heavy sound is so clearly accessible that it’s no wonder so many people have gravitated towards them.

With over 100 million streams and nearly 700k monthly Spotify listeners, Throw the Fight have developed an impressive fanbase in their time as a group. Three years after the release of their latest album ‘Settle Your Sins’ the band make their return with their new album ‘Strangeworld’, released June 30th via Long Branch Records. Sometimes you don’t need to hear much to understand just why a band…

Still playing catch-up after posting mainly on twitter for years, and since I just made a Strangeworlds side blog I thought I'd focus on some of that fanart for a bit.

@arcanescholxr || starter call

"Ah, Mr Blackburn, isn't it?" Jonathan offered a lightly excited smile as he greeted the other, thrusting a hand out for him to shake. "Jonathan Mercator, Head Custodian of the Strangeworlds Society."

A recent trip to another world in the multiverse had introduced Jonathan to a man named Elias; someone magically gifted enough to travel between realms without the use of a portal suitcase.

Jonathan had only known one other person to be able to do that, and so had been keen to learn more about the man. During their meeting he had come to learn about Dwight, and quickly made plans to visit the magic user that resided in the same world as Jonathan.

"Awfully exciting to meet you."

(this post is a bit long sorry it’s early and i’m kinda pissed off)

the problem with me is that i become wholly enthralled and obsessed with a piece of media that has no fandom whatsoever. anywhere. over here it’s all aesthetic bookblogger posts or just nothing at all and on AO3 there would be like 10 fics per fandom

i’m just kinda annoyed because i went to go see if there was a fandom for song of the last kingdom and there was nothing

and i am specifically talking about YA books but this also applies to certain musicals that just. they have no fandom. and i can’t single-handedly start them.

[draggingyoutothedust]

do you wanna know what I’m crazy about today. The Strangeworlds Travel Agency. Go READ that shit. Please I want to found a fandom. It’s so good. Please. It’s gay i promise. It’s not just me this time it’s really gay I promise. I’m so autistic about these charactyers.

[cosmic-nia]

The Strangeworlds Travel Agency by L.D. Lapinski

At the Strangeworlds Travel Agency, each suitcase transports you to a different world. All you have to do is step inside . . .

When 12-year-old Flick Hudson accidentally ends up in the Strangeworlds Travel Agency, she uncovers a fantastic secret: there are hundreds of other worlds just steps away from ours. All you have to do to visit them is jump into the right suitcase. Then Flick gets the invitation of a lifetime: join Strangeworlds' magical travel society and explore other worlds.

But, unknown to Flick, the world at the very centre of it all, a city called Five Lights, is in danger. Buildings and even streets are mysteriously disappearing. Once Flick realizes what's happening she must race against time, travelling through unchartered worlds, seeking a way to fix Five Lights before it collapses into nothingness - and takes our world with it.

Things I liked about strangeworlds travel agency book two the edge of the ocean in no particular order

 Spoilers many spoilers are under the read-more read at your own risk (also I’ve not read book three yet so please don’t spoil anything!)

alright first of all I love Nyfe as a character. bestie gave herself the title Pirate Queen, estranged herself from her father because he wouldn’t give her command of all his ships (all of them???) and is named Nyfe. Did she name herself at some point? Did her (scary, but) gentlehearted parents name her that? Either way it is hilarious and I love it

Pirates I just really like pirates

OH MY GOSH THE PLOT TWIST AT THE END?? ISAAC? TRISTYAN? JONATHAN’S DAD? SEREN?

Just.. all of Jonathan’s outfits

Avery and Flicks like crush/romance thing going on that was very cute 

When Jonathan gives Flick a pep talk and Avery is like “ugh I thought you were going to kiss” and they’re both absolutely disgusted 

the expression “the chamber pot was about to hit the propeller.”

I love the merpeople and how different they all are in terms of fishness

I love the way Flick describes magic, it’s so beautiful

I love the cover art (I have the North American edition I think? The one with Flick, Jonathan, and Avery on it)

I love how Jonathan basically flatters Flick’s mom into letting her go back to the travel agency

oh and how Flick and Avery try their best to help Jonathan when he realizes his dad is dead, even though neither of them really know what to do

and how Jonathan and Flick desperately are looking through the suitcases, trying to find a suitable one, before they run out of time 

AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF that I will probably add later 

I just love this series a lot
