Also. Just remembered a possible in-universe justification for why Hunter let the selkidomus go so easily... (aside from speculative character reasons like "he's imitating Belos by trying to give ultimatums" and "he secretly can't stomach killing a peaceful creature", which are theories I both like and agree with)
...He doesn't know what glyphs are yet
Like, literally as far as he knows, neither Luz nor Eda can do magic. Ergo, from the perspective of someone raised in a magic based society, with a naturally magic centric viewpoint (even if he himself has a complex relationship with it and often has to think beyond magic to do things), he literally can't fathom them being able to fake it so convincingly. There's no way bc he literally doesn't know about other ways of doing magic beyond staffs and spell circles.
Idk if this was intentional but I've decided I'm incorporating it into my worldview

Different actors and artists I mistakenly thought were the same person for a really long time:
Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller (? Tall face dad man? Comedy. Brown hair blue eyes. Early 2000's Blockbuster Video regulars.)
Kiera Knightly and Natalie Portman (Scary and pretty like an android that would eject me from the space shuttle)
Kiera Knightly and Kristen Stewart (K-names, queer kid kryptonite, pretty)
Justin Timberlake and Orlando Bloom (Pretty face white man, teens love him)
Ryan Reynolds and Paul Rudd (Thin face brown hair white guy? Comedy? Superhero with red suit. Immature dad vibes. "Pull my finger" type energy)
Celine Dion and Shakira (Pretty and tall multilingual blonde singers?)
Michelle Pfeifer and Uma Thurman (Odd name? Blonde? 2010 era songs about them)
Gene Wilder and Mike Myers (Cannot explain)
Individual actors I always thought were two different actors:
Lucy Liu in "Kill Bill" and Lucy Liu in everything else (I keep thinking Kill Bill came out in the early 70's and Lucy Liu does NOT look older than my mom)
Natalie Dormer (Though she was a bunch of different blonde women who looked alike but it's just her)
Actors and artists who I cannot recall ever seeing in my life, whose appearances I make up in my head whenever people talk about them:
Uma Thurman (Blonde? Very pretty. Red lipstick. Like Marilyn Monroe but a sharper chin.)
Stevie Wonder (A handsome Black gentleman in his late forties. Always in a tuxedo.)
Gilbert Godfrey (Peewee Herman??)
Celebrities I can picture in my mind with absolute photographic clarity:
Mike Tyson
Doug Jones
Miss Piggy
Public figures whose names I've heard of through pop culture osmosis but retained zero information about:
Roger Whittaker
Grace Earl Jones
Casey Anthony (??? A person??)
Akon
Greta Herwig (I think that's a person)
Tony Montana (Fictional???)

The Brittany Theory
A little theory idea I wanted to share that's been on my mind lately: This has to do with the introduction of Brittany in season 2 and it would appear this came out of nowhere, but I have a hunch that it didn't.
In season ones episode Charlie dies and doesn't come back, Charlie is rescued from hell by god (having them voiced by Gilbert Godfrey btw was great lol) then sent back to earth. The devil is foiled and we move on to Charlie never speaking about it again. This episode was after frowning friends where Grim and gnarly were introduced, attempting to ruin Smiling Friends but ultimately failing. My overanalyzing brain thought about a possible connection of the two episodes, mainly the part where the devil says 'foiled again!'.
Since he's the devil it could be that a deal he made was ruined....or it could be that frowning friends was his doing, so he could destroy smiling friends to make the world a more miserable place. We never really see who the boss is for frowning friends so I could argue that the devil is the one pulling the strings.
But what if he wasn't? What if Brittany had been sent to earth earlier and was the boss behind the scenes of frowning friends? She's definitely powerful enough to control people's minds to do her bidding, so it's possible Grim and gnarly could have worked under her. We come back to the season 2 episode where Mr. Boss gets married to satan's daughter, whose plan is to drain Mr. Boss of his life source and take his kingdom, which is smiling friends. There's a clear lack of information as to how they met, so in my mind the easiest solution is through a dating app. She would have made her move after frowning friends so there could be no way to track her back to the company, leaving her as just someone "looking for love" on the app.
I also want to point out Charlie's hesitation in the episode when he's all ready to kill Brittany, but he tells Pim to do it. This could be because the devil knows Charlie and has a beef with him, so if he killed Brittany things could become very bad for the people Charlie cares about (aka every one of the smiling friends.)
So in summary my theory is that Satan sent Brittany to earth in season one as the unmentioned boss of frowning friends, in order to destroy smiling friends. When that failed she began courting Mr. Boss through a dating app posing as a "regular person looking for love" and wasn't suspected, because this universe is full of oddities that everyone just accepts. She got married to the boss, attempted to take over his life force and kingdom, then failed.
But tell me what guys think! Does this theory make sense? Share your own theories down below if you'd like to :D

Can't believe I'm saying it.
But catch match? Mk legends cage match?
Looks hella fire.
Never thought a johnny cage spin off animation movie that has no ties to any canon lore really. Would be better than the games rn.
Hell anything looks better than the new game.
I'm looking forward to cage match.
If not for johnny. For the late gilbert godfrey. R.i.p.
I heard he recorded lines for this movie. And it was supposed to be released way earlier. But they cut back. And it shows in their work.
They actually put effort n passion in it.
But its sad. That it has to be a movie about johnny cage for them to fucking give a shit.
I love johnny cage but yeah. If they put as much love n effort in the animation and story as they are doing with cage match as they did with the other legends movies. I would have been over the moon.
The games could never. Nrs could never.
But i think they treated each mk legends movies as separate. Like all of them are separate from each other. Not connected at all.
And you know what? Thats great.
I would rather keep it that way.
But yeah. Can't believe a fucking johnny cage animated movie spin off is better than any other mortal kombat crap we are getting lately.
i hope cage match blows that shit game out the water n kills it,kills it dead,fatality bitch. Mk1? No bro. Cage match.
I never prayed so hard for a game to fail.
Dude the animation and trailer alone sells me more than the game. Because why?
Because this beautiful animation movie seems to not take itself so seriously,it's fun,and it's not trying to be something its not.
It's actually leaning into the campy cheese that is mortal kombat and is having fun.
That's why i feel this movie is already 10000× better than the new mortal kombat game.
It's johnny cage. If you fuck up johnny cage. It's bad. (Unfortunately devs,and a certain demographic(white nerdy cis boys)tend to project hard onto johnny. No offense but its true. Johnny aint no reddit douchebag. So nrs better take notes.)
Also the best thing?!
NO FUCKING GROSS CAGEBLADE!!!! YAAAAAAY!
Just johnny being a manwhore
I mean being an epic superstar dork.
(Ngl....he looks good af.....that's johnny cage to me. So far i like what im seeing. But we'll see. Finger crossed they dont screw him up again! They might redeem themselves for the animation movies)

In my Hamburger Shonen Au Irma is actually a legit real girl. The Irma that April was friends with was still Gilbert Godfrey, BUT the real human Irma is in stasis somewhere in a Kraang lab (sort of like fake April’s mother in ‘buried secrets’). She’s like. Being used for uhhhh perfecting the robot model to be as real as possible, as well as being able to perfect cloning technology and all that.
So. During one of the turtles escapades they find her and they’re like. Holy fuck. Is that the original Irma ???? And they save her (after making sure she isn’t a robot). But here’s the difficult part. She’s been in stasis for about 20 years. Any family she had has long since moved out of NY, and she has no idea how to find em. So she kinda has nobody to turn to for support except the dudes who saved her, yeah?
Anyway uhhhh Irma and Donnie get along really well bc they’re both Velma types yknow. And he gets attached to her :)
I just think Donnie, now that he has someone who he actually has stuff in common with and really really likes, would realize that the ‘romance’ he felt toward April was just him trying to feel more normal by liking what he thought was the ideal girl.
But don’t even worry Donnie and April are still very best friends and they care each other I promise.

Hmmm. Very tempting. I saw your other blogs yeah! If anything I think it's Godwyn I'd pick up? Also it's funny I see your gilbert blog as I'm currently playing though bloodborne for the first time actually (elden ring was my first soulsborne title and I went in not knowing it was one tbh)
Godwyn eh? There aren't many Godwyn's around, with the exception of deathblightprince -- who I might add also roleplays Godfrey, over at @thefirsteldenlord! Another blog which I highly recommend! 🥰
My first experience was Dark Souls -- since then, I've been kinda hooked on 'em! Of the ones I've played, I AM kinda partial toward Bloodborne and Elden Ring. ^^

// So gilbert godfrey died, and that’s really sad. But my mom apparently thinks that Spongebob was voiced by him, and that just makes me wish he had, because that sounds amazing. 
I’m also sad he didn’t voice mario in the new mario movie, because him going ‘it’s a me, mario’ sounds funny. 
Also, apparently he didn’t voice Technus in Danny Phantom? And I totally thought he did. Apparently not, and the VA is just doing a very convincing impression imo.

Help! I cannot stop thinking about that scene in Thumbelina when Gilbert Godfrey's character sings that he wants to fuck Thumbelina.
...and then promptly drops her when others say she's ugly.

15th December, 1979; 08:00
Rosalind had never properly been prepared to be a wife. Not fully. How could she, only eighteen years old when she was attached to someone forever. It was something she’d expected, of course, and from a young age she’d had it instilled in her what it meant, how to be a good wife. But that meant nothing, didn’t it? When despite all the effort you put in to make things outwardly look perfect, you were lonelier than you’d ever been. That her bed at Winbourne House felt more like home than the one she shared with her husband of eight months. But still, she was up early, putting on the perfect dress, making sure there wasn’t a single flaw in her appearance, set to stand next to her husband and father in law at the press conference they had called that morning. She had no idea what it was they were announcing, a thought that annoyed her, only that she needed to be the dutiful wife once again and look proud.
And she did just that. As Godfrey proudly announced that they were moving their potion, a vaccine if you will, for Squibs into human trials, she wore a smile on her face. Her hand sat in Gilbert’s, and she beamed as he took his turn to answer questions. But inside her blood was boiling. No, more than that, it was rippling, rushing away like a tidal wave about to destroy a small village. As perfect as she was on the outside, inside was a storm. For all the times that Rosalind had voiced she wanted to be involved in the Apothecary, for all the times she’d asked Gilbert what he was working on. Here, on this stage, at this press conference, was the first she was hearing of it all. She had no idea that they had spent the past six months developing this potion. Nor that it had been an idea buzzing around in Godfrey’s head, ever since he’d heard about the little Squib his son seemed so fond of. He’d used that to his advantage, Godfrey had, to twist Gilbert’s arm into joining him on this endeavour. 
“I want to be involved.” Rosalind demanded as soon as the doors were shut behind them. “I’m just as good at this as Gilbert. Better, even.” The fire behind her eyes could have burned as red as her hair as she glared back and forth between the two. They all knew it, that Rosalind’s skills when it came to potions were extraordinary. It was a natural gift that she never needed to work at. The fact she did work at it only caused her to excel even more. But before she could even finish her sentence Godfrey was laughing. “Don’t be silly, Rosalind. It’s not your place to help.” Rosalind’s glare burned even brighter as she turned it on Gilbert. Some stupid little part of her expected him to support her in this, to tell his father how good she was. He’d know, they’d spent many hours brewing together. It was the only time she could stand him these days. But instead there was a cold expression on his face, his voice monotone as he only added to his fathers statement. “I think you should focus on school. And your parties.” The emphasis was there. That she should stay in her lane. She was there as a wife, as a display, nothing more. And with that the two Selwyn men turned away from the conversation, and her.
She may have been a fiery storm underneath, but she was still Rosalind Nott. No matter who she married, or what they denied her, she still had that. It was with her head held high that she left the apothecary and remembered the promise she had made herself only months before. She wasn’t going to sit back and be the perfect wife, let herself get trampled out. No. This was not the life she would continue to live, not in the slightest.

Gale Reviews: Aladdin 2019
Tumblr media
(Art done by @knightsweeties​)
Before I watched this movie, I should let it be clear, I hate the concept of Live Action remakes.
 I get it, you want to make money. But, if you are gonna remake it, actually change up the scenes.
Thats what I want Live action remakes to do, REMAKE THE STORY. Because there is no way you can tell the exact same story the same way but in live action and expect people to be thrilled with it.
Does the New Aladdin do this?
Read below to find out
Spoilers below
-The movie starts with Will Smith on a boat telling kids the story of Aladdin, this is a change from the old merchant at night. 
-The song “Arabian nights” had its lyrics changed for obvious reasons. But it was still pretty decent. But not better sounding then the original.
-Aladdin’s introduction and how he went about stealing was a lot cooler then in the original, it was like watching an actual pickpocket. I even liked how he sold his goods.
-Him giving the bag of dates to the kids instead of eating it, much like he does the bread in the original. Its a cute change up, but it loses a bit of impact because he didn't have to go through an ordeal to get the food like he does in the original during the song “One Jump ahead’.
-Jasmine’s intro was much better in this one, and showing off Aladdin’s quick hands at swiping was also clever.
-Jasmine was incorporated in the chase and song “One Jump ahead” I really enjoyed this different take. I even would say I enjoyed this chase better.
-Aladdin’s pad is so much cooler in this.
-Jasmine calling herself Dalia, the name of her handmaiden was clever. Also having Abu steal from Jasmine so Aladdin had a reason to sneak into the palace to return the bracelet.
-Jafar is a lot less silly and a lot more brutal in this. I love it.
-I miss Gilbert Godfrey, but damn it Iago was amazing in this and I would say I love this Parrot even more then the original.
-Speechless was a good song and Jasmine needed a song, I liked this addition
-Aladdin sneaking into the palace was cool
-I like the dumbass viking prince man.
-The whole seen with Dalia figuring out Jasmine was pretending to be her was hilarious.
-Aladdin meeting Jafar for the first time was a lot better then in the original.
-Jafar and Aladdin having parallels. Jafar being quick enough to steal from Aladdin is also hella boss. its like Jafar is a dark future version of Aladdin.
-”Steal an apple, you're a thief, Steal a kingdom, you’re a statesman.” Damn it thats a good line.
-The cave of Wonders seemed cooler in this.
-Abu is both awful and great in this, but I like the cartoon version better.
-Okay, time to address the Genie in the room, How does Will Smith hold up as the Genie.
-He is different enough that it doesn't seem jarring. I actually really liked Will’s Genie. Playing it a touch more jaded and trying to make the most of the little freedom he has. His bond with Aladdin seems more earned, and his renditions of “Friend like me”  and “Prince Ali” are solid. I would even say that I enjoyed the spectacle in the live action more then the animated version. BUT I am a bit miffed about changing ‘Sunday salaam” to “Friday Salaam” It just doesn't hit the ear right. And it bother’s me far more then it should. I get why they did it tho.
-Aladdin tricking the genie was not as clever as the original. but I will look past it.
-Aladdin being awkward as Prince Ali makes so much sense, the other Aladdin was too good at being Ali. I liked the awkward scene. aka the Jams scene.
-The party was cool and I enjoyed the dance sequence.
-Genie digging the handmaid was a bit weird to me, but after thinking about it, they can both kind of relate to each other, though it is still a bit weird.
-I like how they handled Jafar’s hypnosis.
-A “whole new world” while not as grandiose in locations as the animated one was still fun, and honestly a bit more realistic.
-Aladdin starting to become like Genie said he would was also kind of heartbreaking because you can see Genie hurting by this even though he knew this was possible.
-Jafar snatching the lamp right off of Aladdin was foreshadowed earlier and a cool thing.
-Jasmine showing how capable of a ruler she is even when Jafar wished to be sultan was epic.
-Also, I didn't mention it, but I like the sultan WORLDS more then in the original. But I still miss that scene in the animated movie where Jafar was hypnotizing the sultan to have Jasmine marry him and the sultan snaps out of it to say. “But your so old”
-Jafar’s outfits were boss as hell. (actually liked all of the costumes in this) But Jafar’s was the best.
-I miss the reprise of Prince Ali. I wanted Jafar to have a villain song. WHY NO VILLAIN SONG!? THIS WAS THE CHANCE!
-Jafar just being a vindictive ass is great.
-I like the confrontation with Jafar in the original a bit more because it involved more magic, But I think the live action really capitalized on Aladdin getting Jafar’s weak point about being the most powerful in the room.
-I like that Jasmine was made the Sultan. That was good.
-Genie got freed and that scene got me a bit emotional. Damn.
-The ending was cute, and there was a callback to the ship scene, which even though I was iffy on Genie and handmaiden, it was cute.
____________________________________________________________________
Overall I give the movie a solid.
8 out of 10.
It did enough for me to actually enjoy the movie and made it different enough that I didn't know every turn they would take. I think this movie deserves more credit then it gets.

I am thinking about Highway to Hell yet again, yet another imperfectly beautiful horror movie I love to death, bad special effects and all.
A foolish trifle in so many ways, such absurdities as a Hell Cop, or Hitler in a casino played by Gilbert Godfrey, or a truly awful claymation Cerberus. Yet it has a magic about it which only comes when caution is blown to the wind, and the filmmakers fling themselves fully into the image.
How to express the strange iconography of this movie, nigh archetypal young lover protagonists, ripped apart by the forces of hell. Somehow it's perfectly reasonable that the old man in the lone gas station arms the errant knight pizza boy with a white 1940s hotrod and a shotgun with magical demon slaying shells.
It should not work, and yet his encounters with sword toting bikers, a satanic mechanic, and what might very well be the as yet sinless antichrist? Perhaps, and all this because his love is true and his heart is pure. And people wonder what romance is to me? To meet the woman who is no prize to be taken but free to make her own choices. More, to be an active and essential agent in their escape from hell together.
And to reach a dramatic peak of a literal race with the devil. I wish I could share how this movie sings in my heart of all the great romantic feelings, of the union of modernity and myth, love and sweetness and silliness and sheer radical joy off acceleration.

Disney ask game:
💖 Favorite movie?: honestly it's hard for me. But i love all the classics. But hunchback of Notre dame,beauty and the beast,sleeping beauty,snow white,mulan,and i know it's unpopular opinion but i loved pocahontas for two reasons. One i had zero to nothing for representation growing up knowing and having native background (now i might have better rep but again this was younger me) and two i just liked it face value. And that's ok. I know the real history,and i can like AND give valid criticism for a piece of media. Oh and i love treasure planet,and princess and the frog. Underrated af movies.
💕 Favorite underrated movie/show?: like i said treasure planet and princess and the frog.
💀 Least favorite movie?: i don't know. Im not really a fan of "modern" disney films. It's not that they aren't fun or good. It's just they dont have the same charm ya know? Plus older disney movies weren't afraid to get raw and real. Like bro,we aint never getting another hunchback of Notre dame.
🖌 2D animation or 3D animation?: i prefer 2d but some 3d is fine.
🌄 What movie has the prettiest animation?: honestly i can't say. There's too many i love.
🎶 Which movie has the best music?: hunchback,the lion king,mulan,beauty and the beast,honestly there's too many. I'd say hunchback has the best overall ost. Because holy shit. Im not religious by any means,not heavily at least(i do believe but not by the book but by my heart) but church choir and those chants and deep bells give me goosebumps every time.
📣 Which remake is the best?: honestly not many remakes and sequels of disney work. Some are ok but poorly executed.
🤡 Which remake is the worst?: ok as for sequels. Hunchback because of it felt like a pity movie for quasi and i hated it. As for live action remakes i dont like any of em. But beauty and the beast because i just do not like emma watson. I dont hate her,i just dont like her vibe. *shrug*
🪄 If you could change 3 things about any movies/shows, what would you change?: honestly lemme get really real for a sec. There is several movies id change but i wanna change that quasi and esmie get together in the end. Thats all i ask. And i want gaston punted into the sun. Im very simple to please.
🎥 If you could create/star in a remake, what would you do?: honestly i dunno. I'd kill it as belle I'd think but eh. I just wanna write my own movie.
🎞 If you could create an original movie, what would it be about?: any movie where the girl doesn't get with the guy. She doesn't need a sidekick. She's just doing her thing. And honestly we can learn a thing or teo from mulan. But if i could. I'd love to make a proper and honest to god movie about samurai. But tastefully done. Tome gozen movie anyone? Or a simple movie about friendship. And the importance of it. And platonic relationships being just as important as Romantic ones.
🎨 Have you ever made fanart? (Share if you’re comfortable and it’s sfw!): yes. But not much. As of yet. I'll share when i get something i feel is worth to share.
🦜 Favorite animal sidekick?: honestly i dunno. Iago is adorkable. R.i.p Gilbert godfrey. I miss you. There's too many i like and think is adorable and fun but i dont really pay attention to that when i watch a disney movie. I pay attention to vibes. You feel with disney my dudes.
💃 Favorite character?: too many to list. Fr. I just have too many i think is just neat and deserve a seat at the table. ♡ my fave villains however are judge claude frollo,falicifer,hades,cruella(the real one not the prequel weird one they made),Ursula(my beautiful sea queen!),jafar,and scar. Sorry im a villains kinda gal more than a princess gal.

I just made a note to read what you suggested to me lol but it didnt have teen wolf in it, it was where reader is human and trying to help them catch the enemies, and the people shes trying to help catch her, and the guy like pins her down and is like "how do i know its not you thats betraying me" and she says "i just wanted to help" or along those lines, i think the people were vampires? Sorry if im bothering or anything im just so confused on why i cant find it :)
I’m not sure if that’s one of my fics it’s not ringing any bells. You could try @justfangstvdto?
