do you think jenna marbles knows how appreciated and irreplaceable her presence on youtube was? does she know that she mastered the craft of making a video feel like hanging out with a treasured friend? do you think she knows that she was one of the last youtubers to feel genuine in her craft, making videos for the fun of it rather than making everything polished, elaborate, and distanced? does she know that even four years later we still miss her? does she know that an era of the internet ended when she left? i hope she knows we saw her. i hope she's having a great time.

pmd fandom thing i really dont understand: what is with all the vitriol people have for the guild…. like, even if i think chatot’s hate is overblown and overlooks brine cane, i at least understand why people find him irritating considering he literally deprives hero/partner of dinner one time and he refuses to hear them out often. but like. the fuck did chimecho do.

Giving a bombastic side eye to Aardman's website every time they tell updates about the upcoming Chicken Run: Eggstraction mobile game

Because on one hand I'm excited because YAY MORE CHICKEN RUN CONTENT, esp since they had Nick Park as a consultant and mentioned that the game is gonna expand on the Chicken Run universe's world. And its gonna be inspired by the good old PS1 Chicken Run game!!

But at the same time it's apparently set directly after the events of Chicken Run 2. And as yall may already know, I reaaally disliked how they wrote Mrs Tweedy in the sequel (I LOVE HER cuntiness and how she is so prideful about her wealth LOL slay queen. but they really flanderized and simplified her character compared to the original movie, and turned her super onedimensional. Plus they clearly had never even opened the Chicken Pies For The Soul sidebook, which tells her backstory and expands on her broken psyche)

So I'm gonna assume they're gonna keep going with Sequel Melisha, and I'm rubbing my temples like GHHHHHHFJDJDJ

I do hope Mrs Tweedy will appear in the game, but I feel like in the worst case scenario it's gonna be lowpoly cgi Sequel Melisha spewing cheesy villain one liners like "well well what do we have here" or some shit LOL

I will of course check the game out when it arrives!! Especially since it seems like it's gonna have some sort of character customization, and I'm like HELL YEAH ive always wanted to be a chicken war criminal

vent post sorry so sorry i'm having a Bad Time

psyched myself up to buy a new bed but when i announced my plans for the weekend my sibling's like 'are you sure you wanna buy a new bed?' like damn killed the hype immediately. i don't wanna buy a bed i don't wanna go anywhere i'll just keep using the bed that we all cycled through growing up that hasn't been replaced in a decade+ with no bedframe and only one sheet that fits.

"are you sure you want-" I need a new bed. This isn't a matter of wanting. i don't want to think about where to get the best deals or which store has a delivery service or the logistics of hauling that thing into my room or where to get rid of the old one i'm sick of sleeping on a mattress on the floor. don't make this ordeal more complicated than it has to be.

i love being gen z in corporate (behated) because someone will say "when i had my first job, way back in '99" and I'd reply with "oh i was born in '99" and then everyone will go silent and have an existential crisis LMAO

I've actually been scrounging for an ending to Ellenville, because it's hard to actually 'end' a tragedy with something that feels complete, and that last post hit me with yeah, that's right. Because we live in a world where blood is protection and the cost of safety; and it fits in so neatly with the themes of death as stasis and longevity.

The 'end' is the regulations in place. Not even watching it happen, but success. This is The Pushcart War but epic fantasy.

controversial opinion of the year is that i dont think barbie was that great bc its message was all over the place and also they didnt realize they had made kens the women in their story so it just seemed bizarrely misogynistic to me

[artemisiatridentata]

I shouldn’t have to go to work every day I should get lots and lots of time to chill and rock in my rocking chair and read good books and ride my bike around town early in the quiet morning and pick sunflowers and bake honey and oat cookies and crochet giant fish for my friends and actually have time to paint and draw like I used to before I grew up and had to work all the goddam time just to have enough money to pay my bills .

[h0neyfreak]

this might be dropkicking a hornet’s nest but I don’t think “ah but this art made you experience an Emotion” is actually a useful or clever take on modern (or any) art and kind of maybe misunderstands what it means to say “Art makes you think about/feel things.”

Like. My experience with (visual) art is honestly kind of universal regardless of the emotional or aesthetic veneer and at the risk of outing myself as a phenomenologist, it really is the experience of seeing and the art becoming art in front of you. Rothko’s paintings work in person because it pulls you in and the more you stare at it and really look the more layers you see and the more the medium shows itself to you and it becomes an oil painting and also colors and also canvas and pigment and linseed oil and wax and also an infinite number of things. And this isn’t any different across mediums/styles/movements. Staring at a tramp art box and seeing every knife cut and the faded logos and careful joinery from another life; staring at the old Dutch master portraits and being in a room with someone you can’t stop looking at; jumping at a tromp l’oeil before realizing it’s a painting; seeing a quilt and understanding the neat rows of stitches diving into the batting; gazing up at a giant marble statue and seeing the ancient scaffolding waver and blend into the impossibly smooth curves.

I could fill every empty page in my apartment with similar descriptions but I think it makes the most sense if you’ve ever watched a meteor shower. You have to let your eyes adjust to the darkness and you think every flicker of light is a shooting star until suddenly you can see and something burns across the sky and you realize you’ve seen it and everything prior was something else.

Idk I think a side effect of “getting” art is not being able to see anything without wondering how it got here and who is responsible for it existing and why. “I could make that” is an astronomically annoying way to interact with the world but it’s a step closer to something genuine than “ooo you’re angry and that means it’s working!”

i think its CRAZY that the majority of results when you look for peoples thoughts on the trainspotting ending monologue is like "wow an inspiring story of a man getting clean and joining society" like to me that is a WILD emotional takeaway from one of the most haunting endings in cinema
