im sorry warriors i just can't play your game (it is very very hard. i am stuck very early on in the game)

I love cats meow meow meow

was extremely tempted to put twilight for least favorite. unfortunately he is my favorite to write from the perspective of (he has taken over most of my wips. help) and that probably counts for something. WILD on the other hand. hooo boy how the hell do i characterize this gargoyle. why is he Like That. least favorite it is

very good fandom to be in :) everybody is very nice

It's a straight up crime that Wars lost the aesthetics poll so quickly. He has such a peak Link design with the best colors. Ugh I'm getting wistful.

FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. ALSO HAPPY PRIDE MONTH. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS.

I will fight Hylia herself and the next person who implies Twi can't handle spice. If we're going to lean into him being southern/Midwestern, which is an alright stero type for our rancher, please keep in mind the culture you're basing him off. The south and midwest can handle their spice, I assure you. Have you ever had authentic Louisiana gumbo? It will melt you tongue off. Or some good old fashion spicy fried chicken? I promise the real stuff has quite a kick. (In all seriousness, though. It's more important that you're having fun. And even I can admit the idea of Twi being an Ordonian who can't handle his spice is more than a little funny.)

I am an OoT Link edgelord and have been since early 2017. So, in September of that year, when an artist by the name of jojo56830 puts out a lineup of nine different Links and the Hero of Time is there – the oldest, no eye, Hero’s Shade armor? I saw that one sketch and just thought “oh this is gonna be bad.” Yeah of course he has the coolest design. By the way, it’s only a matter of time until Fierce Deity shows up in the comic and I have reason to believe it could be this current Dawn arc. Dawn … Dawn of a New Day … and who brought about the Dawn of a New Day? Fierce Deity. Twilight is recovering but still injured and what will happen if he falls again? Fierce Deity is coming and we need to be prepared. In this essay I will—

Remember that time when someone put the whole script of the bee movie in here? I’m not that dedicated, and I don’t have that time, but let us remember and hope someone else does it again this time. Cause someone is bound too. We’re all crazy enough to do it. Alright, love you and stay hydrated pls!

Hi! I joined this fandom really recent but i’ve always seen LU stuff on pinterest and elsewhere. Only recently have i actually took the time to understand the fandom and get back into LOZ stuff and i adore the characters and story! The more and more fanart, fanfics, and comics i see about the different Links the more i love them all. It’s such a pain to pick just one i like or one i don’t like because they’re all so unique. I love this fandom and hope to get more involved!! Have a wonderful rest of your day :]

Epona is an underrated queen

your mom

I really don't get why Zelda is called Artemis. Athena makes more sense???? It perplexes me

Anyone seeing this should check out Breanna’s E!Wild AU

Something something queer every Link into oblivion!

"Nimona" movie artbook thoughts

There's so much neat stuff here. Spoilers for the movie below the cut but just dang I love this

So many neat ideas for long-haired Ambrosius. Ponytail Ambrosius! He looks so cute!

There was going to be a magazine cover with "Goldenloin bares it all" and I like to think part of this is in reference to the two pin-ups Nate drew (Pin-up 1 and Pin-up 2). It's neat to see how much they were building up his celebrity in more ways. In other concept art, he was on more magazine covers, and he shows up as part of a parade. There are lots of concepts of Goldenloin fans.

Also this Ambrosius test is amazing. The weird Todd/Ambrosius fusion in motion lol But you can tell they even modified it later to turn it into Todd. He's a bit softer here in a way and just... fun. Todd cosplaying as Ambrosius/having a nightmare/dream about it aldkjalj

It was also interesting to see more confident Ballister. There's an animation test with him fighting some Institute guards, and it's very clear in early concept art (from that popular viral test back in 2021 as well) that he was more confident in earlier production.

More adorable Ambrosius/Ballister moments, and some cute Ambrosius. They're absolutely sweet.

And unfortunately one of the biggest losses in the movie: the amazing stuff they show for Meredith Blitzmeyer. At one point she was going to be covered in magic tattoos.

"For a long time, the character of Meredith Blitzmeyer was in the film. She served many different functions in many different iterations. At one point, she had a magical van that was bigger on the inside. In another, she was covered from head to toe in magical tattoos. And in another, she was the head of a vast underground society, called the Silver Society, comprised of all the magical creatures forced into hiding by the institute. Ultimately, the story went in a different direction, but her design and model were so beloved that she wasn’t lost but repurposed into The Queen." This all sounds so cool (except the repurposed into a character who dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie part T-T).

She has an entire spread. It's neat that she got to show up in some form (when they recycled her design for Valerin), but I love the idea of the Silver Society and her place in it and also Ballister having more friends and just ugh. These designs and world-building are so cool. I wish we'd seen all of them in the movie.

Also finally an eye dings chart! With everything clearly explained lol Neat to know I wasn't imagining some in-between diamond/square shape when Ballister is changing.

And this pride flags spread! There's a drag queen club! I just love all of this!! Seeing them spread throughout the movie is fun but it's neat to see the collection here!

Also this line: "In actuality, there has not been a monster attack since the first, so the fear and belief of the possibility is the only thing keeping the populace in check." It's neat to get confirmation of that.

Also a very much more violent Nimona was in the early/late-ish production lol.

José Manuel Fernández Oli talked on his Facebook collection of concept art about there at one point being an underground of outcast shapeshifters, and I don't know if that's what we're seeing here, but we were at least maybe also going to get more magical people (which matches the Meredith plans)??

Weres? People with fire magic? Satyrs? Demons? Elves? Or just a wider range of shapeshifter people. That would have been so cool.

There are environment designs for the Institute, Ballister and Nimona's hide-out, people designs, a few more test animations they haven't put up elsewhere, more Nimona shapeshifts (more dogs and cats, a second kind of gnome, more of her bulkier, muscular design, more types of dragons, a goat, more ancient Nimona concepts, plant monster Nimona, alien(?) Nimona, etc.). We nearly had goblin Director. Older Gloreth concepts... It's all really awesome.

All in all, a lot of really cool stuff.

[fresh-new-yoik-watah]

so, I think The Hidden World gets a lot of unnecessary hate. I definitely don’t think it’s better than the first two, but it has its own very distinct feel that separates it from the others too, and it’s very raw, and actually very real, and I think that’s why I disliked it so much when I first saw it, but i’m older now, and there’s beauty in how real it is. And there’s no reality besides an inevitable separation of Toothless and Hiccup, besides of course, a for eternity tv show just about their adventures forever and ever and ever. But, the one guarantee all of us have in life, everything ends.

First of all, that opening shot of Berk is beautiful, because as Hiccup narrates, you see the reality of living on a small island with an overflow of dragons: overcrowding and chaos. Like honest to god the first maybe like 20 minutes of this film is so perfect. Also, Hiccup interacts with other characters a lot more, a lot more chatting, and I actually felt like I was watching a fifteen year old Hiccup in an older body, like they really wrote him perfectly aged up. I didn’t even realize how little we got to really see his personality in the second film in comparison to the first and third one. I felt the movie was kinda shot a little like a tv show, in terms of camera work, it felt very off putting. it also felt off putting to have a HTTYD movie and have Hiccup mainly on the ground for most of it, but I understand why. But god is it animated beautifully, like sooooooo beautifully. 

I think the existence of the Hidden World as like a concept is dumb, and if I read that in a book I’d be like ugh no that’s so lame for story, so they’re lucky that waterfall shot is just insanely crazy gorgeous. I saw it in theaters, and that shot was mesmerizing, of them on Stormfly flying over the ocean and rocks and waterfall, like where they’re sooooo small and you really feel size, it’s so beautiful. I hate Grimmel, I hate him, he’s so stupid. I know you need a villain bla bla bla, but honestly, if it was the same movie without him and they still eventually left to the hidden world, it still would’ve worked and been a way better movie. I really wish they had written the film without an outer conflict/villain besides just like dragon raids. Really focus on Hiccup’s feelings as he navigates the new world of being chief around him, like there’s a reason he was not up in the sky for a lot of this movie, I think it would’ve been really strong to focus on how he has to come to terms that he has to let Toothless go. I hate the light fury design, I don’t hate the existence of her, and I would’ve loved tk see Hiccup get to know her and like how much he would adore her because he literally spent the last 6 years searching the world for another night fury. No problem with that. Hate that damn glitter white sparkle. I hate that she’s a my little pony doll. Why does she have to be so ROUNd????? Couldn’t have just made like a smaller version of Toothless, maybe nose is smaller and eyes are thinner, ears aren’t as long, but different eye color and keep her black like Toothless. She’s got nubs bro. Damn beluga. The end scene of this movie is like, top best clips in cinema alone. It’s perfect. So perfect. When Hiccup takes a deep breath once he’s up in the air, GOD it’s so perfect. It makes everything that isn’t great about this movie and just makes it all so worth it. Also the whimsy feel of this movie, it’s so fun. The soundtrack really brings ouch such a whimsy feeling. I also don’t like how everyone was all lowkey bullying Hiccup, but like, especially the whole, them being shocked Hiccup is surprised Toothless wouldn’t come back. Like wdym, be so for real. Of course Hiccup didn’t expect Toothless to stay away. “You have him his freedom” my ass. Also, what’s up with Valka, they yassified her. Why does she move like that. Were they trying to be, this is where Hiccup gets his gesturing from??? It just didn’t work for her, especially since she did NOT act like that in the second film. That was so strange. Also they did something to Toothless. Like they made him act like a dog, he seemed so strange. And why was he grey?????? And such a wide neck. Idk he was funky, I have no idea but it was weird. Lowkey, I loved the Hiccup and Tuffnut scenes because they’re so true to character, but yall just wanna be haters. That’s all my thoughts for now. Hiccup is yummy in this movie😮‍💨

What’s your fave version of Kurt? I honestly like a lot of his versions

Oh, there's so many. Short version is, I love Kurt in every way. He's just a character I've always held dear, no matter how he is. BUT...I do have my favs 💙

Under cut because it is a larger post. Also the formatting for the images didn't work how I wanted so no images I'm afraid.

Kurt from Way of X (2021) is one of my favorites, his depiction and style he's drawn is something I like a lot. He's expressive and goofy, with his serious moments. Also was the comic series that made me start collecting them, now I have a shelf full of Nightcrawler comics ~

Who can forget goatee Kurt?? UGH. Seriously up there as one of my favorites. He has a goatee in multiple comics, Immortal X-Men (2022) does it just right. He's so willing to sacrifice himself for mutantkind and it shows a more selfless yet determined Kurt. The comics make his story so much better, it's like a huge web and deepens my appreciation for the character a lot.

Nightcrawler (2014) is also one of my favorite runs. The art style is especially good and I love how the artist drew him. And of course the bamfs are in it 💙 I enjoyed the series a lot, easily one of my favorites. It shows all the good parts of his personality!

As for shows, I think the obvious interpretation is X-Men '97. I love how they played him, the art style is so cool and it works with his classic design a lot. He's sooo cute and I thought they did an excellent job with such a good character. I love how sweet he is and how willing he is to protect those he cares about. His swords aaaa the triple wielding was crazy!

Wolverine and the X-Men is also one of my favorites. I fell in love with him when I saw him. I love his voice and I really love how they showed him running on all fours! A lot of people forget he can easily move between bipedal and quadrupedal. He is so agile and I love the fight scenes with him. They showed a more serious side, but the show itself is a little more gritty and serious, so all the characters are like that. Still a fun depiction!

I want to mention the movie versions real quick too. I grew up watching the X-Men films. I adore them, and I adore their depictions of Kurt too, but comparing them to show/comic versions, they just didn't make the cut to being my top favorites. I still love them though!

There are other depictions of him in darker comics that I also really like, since the stories and explorations of those versions are so interesting to me. But...the ones I already listed are enough favorites ~

Thank you for the ask !

[detshin]

Det! I hope this is not too late to ask, this is about KNY bc the last episode is hype and we're getting a movie trilogy for the last arc -- please who are your top 5 hashiras in KNY? 🥹

GAAAASP SACHIIIII 🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖 how are you girl???

Ugh I knooowww that last episode was so freaking good I was floored. Even after having read the manga ufotable just elevated everything and makes it even better it was insaneeee

Just know that this question is very difficult for me okay? lmao okay here we go! I'll try not to give spoilers for the manga just in case!

1. Rengoku. It couldn't be any other way. I still cry watching his movie. His character inspires me so much, I wish I was more like him. And I love that even after his death he was mentioned and brought up constantly. He really is THAT important.

2. Giyuu. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🩷🩷🩷. My emo boy. I love me a depressed black haired blue eyed character. It had to be hahaha. I ADORE him. He's SO CUTE. His backstory is so sad, and his brotherly relationship with Tanjiro tugs at my heartstrings.

3. Tengen. I mean- it's Tengen. He has to be here. His season was INSANE. Watching him fight is a delight and he's super funny but also quite cute with his tsugukos 🥹. Him and tanjiro this season? Adorableeee. His design is also 👀.

4. Mitsuri. When I tell you I LOVE her???? SHE'S SO CUTE AND FUNNY. I loved to see her fight in season 3. I just love that she's so feminine but is CRAZY STRONG and cool too. Her dynamic with Rengoku is also something I really like in their backstory (I even have that special manga because I love it so much).

5. Muichiro. Of course. Offf couuuurrrse. Who doesn't love muichiroooo 🥹 He's so freaking cool but also adorable as heck! Absolutely in love with his fight scenes. He's just overall so strong and amazing aaaaaa

Now I'm curious! I wanna know your top five too! Hahahaha

[shirefantasies]

do you have a fave member of the company and of the fellowship? if so, who and why?

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh ho ho! Well I’m glad it isn’t too overly obvious 😉 as far as the fellowship goes I’m a big Pippin girlie! From the company I love Ori so much, such a sweetheart and I love non traditional masculine characters every single time! And innocent cinnamon rolls are my kryptonite. I just love him! Bofur, he’s just so adorable and heartwarming and goofy and ahhh! Plus his early exchange with Bilbo is so iconic. “Think furnace with wings.” To quote what my personal blog @spacemanxpaninis has on its page about all my favorite characters:

On Pippin-

��My childhood fictional character crush! …that kinda carried into adulthood… I’m a sucker for humor and adorable innocent dorks, plus Pippin is extremely neurodivergent-coded and it does my clumsy screw-up heart good to see a clumsy screw-up type character. But you know what? Pippin is a hero. He overcomes so much and matures a lot and he’s not perfect, but that’s part of why I love his character. He’s different from all the other unique figures and has a heart of gold, but doesn’t always know how to use it. He wants to help and it breaks his heart that people around Pippin think otherwise and that in turn breaks MY heart. He’s just the cutest, sweetest man and I want to make him happy forever. Plus PLEASE that scene at Sam’s wedding I WILL maintain that is the funniest thing that happens in those movies darnit he is HILARIOUS. That and mission…quest…thing. Iconic. Who is doing it like him.”

On Sweet Ori-

“It kinda kills me how little screen time we got of each dwarf from The Hobbit because of sheer numbers and how much screen time they wanted to give to bigger names mostly the line of Durin. Because here we have dear sweet Ori, canonically in the movies the youngest company member and one of the most polite, this young scribe finding his courage alongside his big brother on a quest to reclaim a homeland he’s never even been to. Yes, more patterns, another cinnamon roll. I never said I had no blorbo type ok? I just adore Ori’s innocence but also the way he balances having traditional dwarf interests with other things like his art, writing, knitting, and such. He doesn’t entirely conform to his people’s standards, but seemingly isn’t too outcast for that either and I find that to be a high word of the dwarrow. Ori is just a little sunshine character for me that always makes me happy :) I wish others appreciated him more too!”

On Bofur:

I mean come on, everyone loves Bofur right??? If not THEY SHOULD! Like, his whole thing is being lovable come on. One of the most unique designs among the dwarves, Bofur looks far different from the stereotype and that’s a wonderful element of ‘not all of any given people look the same’ plus it makes him stand out even more. Bofur is such a comfort character- you know he gives the warmest hugs EVER and he holds you for as long as he can. Bonus points for being one of the first to really welcome Bilbo because he’s just that kind and accepting of a person, someone who would take a lot to really dislike somebody. Beyond being kind he’s also a great listener AND a great party companion, the epitome of ‘get you a man who can do both’ as equal gusto goes into dancing and singing and being with the people he loves and being there for them too. I just know he would be the best dad too ugh.

Lomls fr thanks for letting me rant and plug my personal blog anon 😉🥰

The show put so much work into the Daemons such as their design and personality,,, hell even their relationship to their human is something complex and special in it’s own right.

My Daemon has succeeded in every possible way that Pokémon as a franchise has failed in their exasperatingly overextended stay over the years.

Also I agree that who ever is operating the fandom wiki for My Daemon is failing miserably. They haven’t made a category for Daemons only and they haven’t even listed the Daemons powers on their character sheet.

Oh definitely, them being these mostly grotesque creatures you see in horror movies yet having adorable behaviors is such a thing i don't see often enough. Daemons are just these poor animals that got villainized so bad by humans, and they only lash out due to trauma. And some of them are so loyal to their owners that not even pure abuse will break that one-sided bond which is so tragic.

As for the Wiki I'm used to Fandom Wiki's being pure ass but man that thing is organized poorly like there's whole-ass pages you got to Google to get to for some reason ugh

[luxbless]

I'm so normal about the fnaf movie

I'm gonna go ahead and say it again. New people will fucking hate this movie but die hard/vet fans WILL LOVE THIS, it's our love letter from Scott or what I said to my cousin after we saw it together, "This is Scott's flipside from his retirement letter." Seeing this with my cousin after waiting for like 6 years, this being our childhood was EVERYTHING, little me finally got her biggest dream. Also, it was so fucking worth it. The crowd in the theater was so amazing, funny, and just UGH I WANT TO FRIEND EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE. Spoilers btw: The crowd FUCKING YELLED AT THE END CREDITS WE ALL STAYED IN OUR SEATS SINGING TOGETHER AND FUCKING ONE GUY SAID "THIS IS MY FUCKING ANTHEM!!!" I love that guy. We were all upset over how Venessa is an Afton I guess??? Literally, everyone was like wtf?? Screamed over MatPat. And I made everyone laugh by having the balls to say "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?!" My cousin got everyone to laugh by saying "And that was five nights at Freddy's" Anyways the movie. It was honestly really good! The characters were good (Mike my malewife) the FUCKING CAMERA WORK WAS SO GOOD IT WAS CUNTY AS HELL AND THE LIGHTING UGH. The writing at the start was a bit clunky but it gets a hold of itself and starts working. I just got really annoyed by Mike's dream being shown OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Like come on, we've been here for like half of the show- Set design...Set design...I WANT TO LIVE THERE OMG THE SET DESIGN IS GODLY I'M EATING DRYWALL AND MOVIE THEATER CARPET. The acting was yummy and just EAGWEGOAWGWA. However...Afton is indeed not purple and not British. :( 0/10 movie

Jk, My Cousin gives it a 9/10 and I give it a 10/10 On a serious note again. I seriously think this is Scott's flipside, by making the movies the fnaf fans ADORE, this is his way of saying "I'm still here I love you all." And it makes me sob and tear up. Everyone who worked on this really put in so much work making this the best viewing experience for us fnaf and god it makes me wanna tear up.

[miusato]

Hi!! I'm curious as to the main inspirations for your artstyle is? It has great cartoony vibes I really like it (smth about its vibes really reminds me of a cartoon called detentionaire in particular? I'm not sure what tho asides from the general aesthetic)

Hi hi! My default artstyle is pretty much an amalgamation of what I liked (I like both animes and cartoons) but I can't deny it totally leans heavily on cartoony sides hhh. I never heard of Detentionaire and decided to check it out and I think I'll watch it one day since I dont really have the time to do so rn _(:3」∠)_

I referred a lot to early 00s cartoons like PPG and Clone High since both are my favourite shows (although I didnt bother to finish S2 of Clone High because.... yeah) so both are a big influence for my art style in general.

Most of the time, I based them off PPG Movie like ugh I have so many words to describe how much I adore this movie and I have dedicated a ridiculous amount of time to this series but anyway I really love how they manage to translate the PPG character designs into digital animation (since the original was made traditionally) so beautifully like everyone is so much angular and since they have so many budgets for the movie, they added gradients and color balance each scenes. This movie means so much to me art wise because I just never thought that just by adding gradients to such a simple looking art makes it so prettier so I just started doing gradients after I watched this movie lol

My other art inspiration is definitely Jeluto! She drew so many anime characters in this art style and I just love how each character she drew just fits their personality and appearance 💗💗💗

But if you want a more specific term for this kind of artstyle, the name for this art style that a lot of cartoon from this era you see in the late 90s-early 00s (My life as a Teenage Robot, Fairly Odd Parents, Dexter's Lab, El-Tigre, etc) is widely known as UPA Artstyle! There's a really interesting blog post explaining this art style in general that people should read :3

[spotsupstuff]

Love the concept of walking super structures so cool LOVE THE CEUNTAR BUILD

THANKS they exist literally solely cuz i feel like anlil insane gremlin cobstantly pointing frantically at the Iterators n obnoxiously going "no you Don't understand, a singular person of these is SO giant"

N WHILE I WAS WORKIN ON THE FULL BODY,,, i was considering how to do the whole bod- excuse me i adore character design n i adore ramblin about it- and more specifically the Arms actually and how the structures have canonically eight legs. the question of "should i be extremely basic n borin n give it eight legs + two arms or six legs and two arms that would double for legs to keep true to the limb count and maybe force the structure to essentially bow to walk like some fucked horror movie shit OR armless..." and well the fact is that armless is actually kinda Fun to draw so i went with that. n then came the idea of irony that Iterators r scholars and scientists and such n you'd think that means they'd have arms but Nope! fuck 'em kids. and then the fact that only the puppet has proper arms??? that's so fucked up to me. eyesight too!!! only the puppet and overseers can see!!!!s uch a giant thing and dependant on such small pieces of itself UGH

n then i realized i was getting subconsciously inspired by Al-an from Subnautica 😔👍

[moondancer35]

Soooo I watched the Miraculous movie.

I have some thoughts.

(Spoilers under the cut)

First, my pros:

1) The animation. Oh my god the animation. It felt too good to be true in all honesty. It took me a minute to get used to it, but once I did, I was in love.

2) The character designs of Adrien, Marinette, and Gabriel are all BEAUTIFUL and so are their hero counterparts. Plagg and Tikki are also adorable and I love them.

3) Ladybug’s yo-yo is gorgeous. All of the gold detail work makes it look so much more alive and charming. I fell in love with the promo featuring it the second it came up on my feed.

LIKE LOOK AT IT ITS GORGEOUS WHAT EVEN?? If they ever make a display yo-yo that looks like that I’d lose my everloving mind. I love the yo-yo :)

4) Canon footage of Gabriel actually caring about Adrien’s well being??? No way!!! When we saw that hug, me and my friend freaked the fuck out because Gabe was actually being a good dad?? But seriously, the Gabe rewrite was very necessary in my opinion. He shows real, genuine remorse for his actions for one of, if not the first time in the entire cinematic universe and having him regret what he did in the movie was very, very needed. Especially with the shorter run time.

5) Fu is a weirdo and I am living for it. The way he chases Marinette through the street after she saves him is hilarious to me. He was an absolute delight to watch and he managed to make me laugh more than once.

6) The sparring scene on the rooftop? Best scene in the entire movie and I will fight someone if they try to argue with me. You can practically taste LB/CN’s chemistry as the scene unfolds. The way they’re fighting against one another yet still working together?? Ugh. Brilliant.

7) The instrumentation was amazing. All the little motifs and parts tying the music to one another? Absolutely brilliant. I wasn’t a huge fan of the singing, nothing against Lou and SQVARE, it was just jarring to hear the Marinette voice drop. Thank god Bryce didn’t do the vocals for Adrien though I would have cried.

Now, it’s time for my issues (oh boy)

1) The entire movie felt rushed, ESPECIALLY the second act. They should have just committed to 2 hours in my opinion. Just 20 more minutes would have helped IMMENSELY with the pacing.

2) The character designs, overall, were quite jarring. Especially for background/minor characters. Something was always off. There are a few of the design choices that became sort of running jokes with my watch party. (Alya’s eyebrows, Gabriel’s chin and his long hair.)

3) A couple of the character rewrites were great. Some of them? Not so much. My specific gripes are as follows… Marinette falling for Adrien because he helped her up and called her weird. Same goes for Ladybug reluctantly helping Chat up during the fight. They could have done so much more with both of those scenes but they had to be rushed because of the cut run time. Also they butchered Plagg’s character and I am NOT here for it.

4) Most of this movie felt like a montage. It kinda was since they were trying to fit the entirety of the Gabriel arc into an hour and 40 minutes. I keep saying this, but they needed that extra 20 minutes in all reality.

5) I love the fact that the movie belongs to LadyNoir, we needed some good LadyNoir content because we get none in the show. What I don’t love, however, is that Adrien and Marinette didn’t really have any screen time at all. Just showing them interacting a little more would have been nice.

6) They cut The Wall Between Us. This is just a personal bias. I’ve been in love with this song for literal years. I’ve learned how to sing it in French simply because it brought me so much joy. I’m so upset they cut it but I don’t fault them for it. (At least it’s still on Spotify 😭)

Final thoughts:

This requires a bit of a storytime. My sister isn’t that into Miraculous. She watched the movie with me (and one of our friends) last night and she overall liked the movie. She brought up a good point about it though. “I feel like you have to know the show to see the movie but if you’ve seen the show it’s a little underwhelming because you expect it to be a certain way and it’s not.”

I fully agree with this sentiment. The first time Adrien’s name is even said is around 30~ minutes into the movie and that’s not really good storytelling for people who haven’t seen the show. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adored the movie, I can tell it’s going to be a comfort film for me. There were just a LOT of plot issues, story inconsistencies, and overall just weak writing. But that’s okay! The plot is really simple compared to the show and that’s also okay! My gripes with the movie are just because I want the best for these silly little animated superheroes.

Overall, this movie will always be a 10/10 in my heart, it makes me so freaking happy that the movie finally released, but if I’m being fully objective it’s gotta be a 7/10. The pacing issues and some of the awful characterization really drags the movie down, but that’s just my opinion.

Guess who watched Re-Animator for the first time last night? Me!! :D

Dude, mikey, I can't believe I was procrastinating on this tasty stuff! I remembered you loving the movie, including some other stuff, but I got around to watch the trilogy series on Tubi and FUCKN HELL (/pos)!! *slams hands down* First off, one of my favorite fictional blorbos is voiced by Jeffery Combs, and he also voiced Scarecrow from "Batman: The Animated Series" (ik jonathan was voiced by a different guy, but I'm mostly talking about his third final design in the show where he looked like a goddamned corpse) my second favorite blorbo whom I'm not fixated on rn, but you get the idea.

Secondly, I had NO idea that Re-Animator was based on a book created by H.P. Lovecraft (one of my fave authors + BIG ass fan of fourth dimensional eldritch octopi from space lmao) cuz I love his work. But lastly but not least, THE FUCKING GORE AND BODY HORROR AND BRUTALITY AND GROTESQUE SCENES 💜 If you know me, I am A LITERAL FREAK for brutal gore and I also adore the medical science in Herbert's area. I love how the first movie is a normal level of brutal, but the SECOND MOVIE amps it up to fucked up creations of Dr. West's work and showing meat and organs galore.

Speaking of Dr. Herbert West - I already love him. Plus I love Jeffery Combs as his actor (i also know he is also famous for playing Star Trek characters, buuuuuuut 😬 I am a VERY VERY VERY VERY picky person for any sci-fi movies/series, and I only love him for the horror [I don't love Star Trek and Star Wars; sorry]). Also, you can clearly tell Herbert and Dan are very much fags in love - like, cmon, are you telling me yall live together for eight months in the same house with your weird lil' scientist bf who goes into a basement stealing body parts and reanimating them for God-knows-what experiments AND YOU SURE YOU TWO AINT KISSIN??? /silly /joke

Anyway, short summary: I love Re-Animator, Herbert West is a transsexual fag-coded short king imo, aaaaaand I might spam ya w/ "Re-Animator" related stuff /autism

YAY OMG IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!! its for real one of my fave horror movies, the gore is SO COOL and theyre SUCH CODEPENDENT FAGGOTS UGH. anyway you're so soso right about transsexual herbert + i would be HYPED for any reanimator spam!!!

Your thoughts on Ezra? 👀

Hi Nonnie <3

Ezra is one of my favorite Pedro boys ever, actually. There are a lot of reasons. First of all, I'm obsessed with low budget sci fi. I like when you can tell a movie was just some guy's fever dream and the pocket change he scrapped together to film it. So it was inevitable that Prospect would be one of my favorite movies.

I love his character design, too. The blonde patch he insisted on, the big ugly space suit, his facial hair. I love his mannerisms - the way he always seems to be moving, how he tilts his head, the way he walks. And I think some people find the way he speaks to be annoying? But I adore it. I love the way he tells stories and his strange nearly southern accent UGH.

Now for the more spicy-ish thots

I genuinely believe he would be a total freak. He strikes me as someone who will try any kink at least once, and he'll probably like it too. I don't think he'd be picky about who he's with or what genitalia they have - except he'd demand they be interesting. He doesn't strike me as someone who can stand to be bored, nor as someone attracted to boring people. In conclusion I think Ezra likes to fuck nasty or get fucked nasty, I think he's as likely to end up in an orgy as Dieter, and I think the number one best pairing for him ever is Din Djarin.

Din/Ez for life <3

HELP I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING IT WAS WONDERFLU AND THE ANIMATION AND WALLACE AND AUGH I NEED RAMONA (also lowkey in love with knives 🥺)

KNIVES IS SUPER ADORABLE ALSO YAYY!!!! I love the movie and the anime so much for completely different reasonsss, I love the movie's music design so much cause ugh my god the video game music parted with an original score and songs that sound like they'd be made by a small band and such, so good. but I love the anime because it has really good character development and it also changes up the story, which makes it more interesting!!!! new stuff new story same characters a What If marvel comic to the scott pilgrim universe. God I love them both so much and I'm excited to read the graphic novels too (I suspect my mom got me the first one for Christmas)
