I've started watching our flag means death. This is a very odd little show.

#the pacing is strange #not bad #just... well I actually can't put my finger on it #it kinda feels like every character comes from their own genre #and is acting accordingly #I mean it'a delightful and fun #just unique #anyway I just finished episode 7: treasure hunt of feelings #favorites so far are Lucius Olu and Frenchie #lucius' genre is genre savvy and I enjoy that

kon should keep yuzu's little flower

and the stuff with the mother really hits like a brick. i'm only on chapter 30 and bleach has already made me emotional, oof.

#∘ ◦ ✩ NATURALLY i’m just a bit of a dumbass. | kai (ooc.)#kai reads bleach.#the pacing is strange #like it's very episodic and can be read as isolated things #not complaining just an observation #i like it personally #it leaves me wanting to read more but #also allows me to stop at a reasonable place if need be

If you guys are wondering how dire the situation was for Kai fans before dr dropped. Kai’s voice actor himself just made a tweet thanking the dr team for finally giving Kai focus it was THAT BAD 😭

#ninjago #ninjago kai #seeing people talk about how they’re liking Kai now is like #oddly vindicating?#I still don’t entirely like the pacing of Kai’s arc in this season #but going on for years about how I want more Kai focus and having ppl constantly telling me I’m overreacting #and now having Kai not only get focus but everyone acknowledging how good is character is and how they like him now that he has more focus #is strange but like in a good way!

me: *seeing people yell about how they did Glintshore & Percy's death in the show*

also me: ..................anyway

#maybe its because its been fuck knows how many years since i watched 90% of c1 #but i actually find the way they're changing things up super fascinating #i have questions to be sure and i think they're all having so much fun watching people go THEY'RE NOT GONNA PERMAKILL PERCY ??#(they're obviously not going to leave percy dead)#but because so many things have been folded on top of each other to keep the pace in this several hundred hour campaign adaptation #idk! i just think it's neat! obviously we're not done with ripley yet so we'll see what happens there #also people being like “i didnt need a sad backstory for ripley” like that wasn't the most obvious vehicle to introduce the assembly #a lot of these scenes they're adding in or folding together are doing a LOT of work #the storytelling action economy is honestly astounding #like don't get me wrong i get why people are weirded out by it (i am too! It's strange!) BUT it's not being done carelessly #some of you lot just want everything done 1:1 when they simply do not have the time to be doing that #i think i might do a full write up of how impressive some of this is when the season ends bc it really is a mammoth task they've had #the legend of vox machina #tlovm #legend of vox machina #critical role #c1 #vox machina #lvm spoilers #tlovm spoilers #edit: to be very clear. i have been here since the very beginning. don't fuck with me lmao

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

#dead boy detectives #dead boy detectives spoilers #we’re accustomed to different nuances of (visual) language in diff media #by no means am i comic adaptation buff but i found myself frequently wondering why it felt so strange vis a vis pacing & writing #maybe it’s just a hallmark of the showrunners or directors!#i’m used to tv dialogue that is a lot faster and frankly uh seems to think more of its audience #a LOT of shots i think were meant to look like comic panels in the montages #devlin family house loop - the fire elemental potion - etc #but then there’s also these very TV Feeling Moments #i found it delightful but also super uneven! like multiple different shows were trying to climb to the top of the pile at once #it’s SUCH a mess to me (complimentary)#like lab grown to be fandom fodder but also i think quite accidentally fandom fodder in its shortcomings too

Zelda 2 comic sneak peek

I took out my old full-length Zelda 2 comic draft and chose a segment to make a short comic out of. It's missing context from the whole grand narrative of the entire story, but I think it gets the point across.

There were a couple potentials, and I ended up choosing the scene where Link discovers that his blood is the key to awakening Ganon. It's the most well-known plot point of the game in the LOZ fandom in general, besides the Prince of Hyrule plot. Throughout the comic, Link gets attacked by various monsters during his quest. He thought Hyrule was incredibly dangerous for merchants and travelers, but found out that it was only him encountering monsters at a high rate, thus targeted (that is not discussed in this short comic). This disturbs him a lot. And this is the scene when he discovers why he's a target. It's more than the monsters seeking revenge.

At some point in the game, the player is made to travel towards south-western Hyrule and use the Hammer on dueling peaks to enter and get a magic potion. You specifically enter the peak that is originally Level 9 in Zelda 1. I found that to be very... interesting. And suspicious. Why did the developers think "Okay lets have Link go back to the traumatizing final boss place from the first game to retrieve an item :D" It's kinda epic honestly and it gave me the idea: For the full comic, I made it that Link follows rumors and travels down there in the hopes of finding the magic book containing the revive spell, which is game-changing for the rest of his journey. Being the adventurer that he is, Link takes the risk and goes there thinking the place is long-abandoned and that Ganon probably no longer exists. Except, that isn't the case. (Okay I must add, after the revelation, Link loses his adventurous spirit and gets very serious with his quest. No longer enjoys exploring, which is all this Link is about. He starts developing Big Fears. This eventually spawns Dark Link. I wish I could make the entire comic but I know I can't T-T I should probably finish up and polish the draft and post it online for whoever is interested in a deep dive, lore-intense Zelda 2 story reimagining.)

It's the first time I do a 10 page comic, so I'm going through a learning curve right now xD It's going to be experimental, but I hope you enjoy it still. Here are some WIP shots. Still a while before it's completed.

#Long post #text #legend of zelda #classic link #zelda 2 #zelda ii #the adventure of link #zelda lore #I don't really like how the comic is looking or how it's paced buuutttt eh #Maybe after I scan and polish and add text it will look alright #I'm doing the whole thing on paper #but will definitely do major edits after scanning #Might be done in two or three weeks? give or take #Working on this in the evenings after work #Maybe I should practice my writing and write the whole comic instead of drawing it #with page illustrations >:3c I'm thinking.... I'm thinking...#I love zelda 2. a lot #8-bit games always give some much room for interpretation #especially when it has a fairy-tale like story #fairy-tales have this strange flexible quality of being as simple as you like or very complicated

Lil messy comic I made for the shits n giggles

#I made this in black in white and then added color gradients over top of it #I should do that more in my art it’s fun and easy lmfao #Milo’s last name is Maddison btw #Milo doesn’t necessarily like people calling him that due to it reminding him of his father but Hazel likes teasing him #my comics #my comic #myart #art #artwork #procreate #Milo likes to not show his true emotions around people his whole thing is lying to manipulate people and to like. Make people like him more #He acts very charming but he’s a very angry guy with a lot of hatred in his heart #He has to keep his business afloat somehow though so tricks it is #Obviously not all of his personality is fake in public eye but like MOST of it is LMFAO #Hazel on the other hand is just deadpan angry 24/7 he doesn’t care to hide much of his personality #Besides being sad or showing weakness #Hazel and Milo have a very strange relationship #Hazel doesn’t care to push Milo’s buttons even though Milo could fire him at any time #But tbh Milo likes how Hazel won’t work well with him at times. He likes being pushed back (well most times anyway Hazel CAN get annoying)#Milo tends to be around a lot of yes men so Hazels a nice change of pace for him #It’s kinda why Hazel is Milo’s right hand man and bodyguard of sorts #doodle #doodles

d***** can get fucked for refusing to advertise this movie. it really is so good and the many artists and creatives who put their jobs on the line to bring this story to us deserve all our appreciation and love.

#strange world #ethan clade #SUCH a cute and well-paced movie!#shout out to jaboukie lmao I've been following him on twitter for years and I never realized he was an actor until now #great commentary on harmful farming practices #and kind of investigates the common assumption that humans hold dominion over the rest of the world #this movie promotes the idea that we are just another bunch of organisms on this planet and we are acting as parasites #the gay boy plot really delivered it was actually so heartwarming to see....#sigh #turns out representation does matter #/s #went home and watched encanto and moana and now I'm watching lilo and stitch...... sigh #ok bye #animation #fan art #art #supporting artists #photoshop #digital art

I find it interesting that, in The Cutie Re-Mark part 2 episode, the guards tense when hearing Celestia's name.

Nightmare: Nopony in my kingdom but me should posses magic powerful enough to change time.

Spike: Your kingdom?

Nightmare: Who else?

Spike: Um- Celestia, of course!

The fucking guards:

So mostly likely conversations such as these have happened in the past, and the guards have all thoroughly learned the lesson to not bring up the scary night lady's banished sister.

#mlp fim #princess celestia #nightmare moon #princess luna #It may seem strange that I'm posting about MLP even though I hardly ever post about it #but honestly I need the change in pace and I've been going on a huge nostalgia trip this spring/summer

2024 reads / storygraph

The Stardust Grail

fun space opera

a woman from a human settlement on another planet who spent a decade as an art thief, returning stolen artifacts to alien civilisations all across the galaxy, and is now on earth as a grad student trying to move on from the past (and visions of the future she’s plagued with)

when her old friend asks for help to find a mythical object that might save xyr species, and some new clues show up at her university, she goes on a quest across the universe with her cephalopod-like friend, an ex-soldier, a runaway medic bot, and her academic advisor

complex friendships between different alien species, no romance

#The Stardust Grail #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #I really loved this! It’s a fun space adventure with some great characters and interesting alien/intergalactic worldbuilding #and anti-colonial themes.#I loved the alien friendship! And that there’s no romance!#the pacing was a bit weird; and there’s this battle scene in the middle which is….a bit strange. but Overall I really enjoyed it.#[guy who’s obsessed with scavengers reign voice] some real scavengers reign vibes here (just for the setting of the very end part)#no romance
