I ordered both the Fallout and Elder Scrolls cookbooks on a whim 🧍♀️
#t#okay listen#I did not expect them to be available in my country#they also have the AC cookbook#I checked the reviews and apparently the recipes are v good#which were done by an actual cook#they're not cash grabs#they weren't even *that* expensive#ok the elder scrolls book was a little pricey#but I've seen regular cookbooks in that price range so#anyway. this is just me arguing w myself bc I'm trying to justify the purchase#they may arrive tomorrow#I'm excited ngl

I'm just going to leave this here.
#Epic The Musical#The Wisdom Saga#Jorge Rivera Herrans#Disney Mufasa#Disney Snow White#Lion King Live Action#Snow White Live Action#I'm not really invested at Disney movies anymore#They're just cash grabs#On the contrary Epic has heart and soul#The whole team put their hearts into it#And yeah there's a bit of money involved#But this work is really inspired by the muses themselves#Also it's hilarious that all of these trailers came on the same day#Was this intentional by Mr. Jalapeño?#Who will win? A multimillion dollar movie corporation or a Concept Musical made by an independent Corporation?

Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!
Kabu likes to play TAG with his pokemon... and he's shown to have a much softer side beneath his strictness in pokemas too... he's so grandpa-shaped to me 😭💖
#you guys have to know that today has been an eventful day for me. like... non-stop serotonin because I got one good news after another#(i celebrated my ultimate ship's day + speed-run and sacrificed sleep to post 2 fics for today's sake + successfully bought prints of said#ship with two of my bird app friends + successfully secured a birthday cafe event for a character in my city where i can meet said friends)#like. my heart was in OVERDRIVE 😭😭😭 adding kabu to the lodge has me falling off the bed from how much i giggled and rolled on it 😭😭😭#i need to replay swsh but i swear he wasn't this gentle and caring in the games 😭💗 like this scary old grandpa is actually very soft 🥺🫶#my head is spinning from thinking about how good his gym trainers' morales are with him keeping it up. or how he must be well-loved in#motostoke for not just being an encouraging gym leader but also an approachable and kind citizen. no wonder nessa and milo regularly hangs#out with kabu and that he and raihan are tor-colleagues 😭😭😭 he's actually so earnest in showing that he cares for others with each line#ossan you have to tell me which of your pokemon plays tag the best!!! and is that how you wind down after training!!! 😭💗#giving pokemas writers a big smooch on their foreheads because they're so genius for this man. yes it is a cash grab but they're doing kabu#sooo much justice too with each of his appearance... like yeah take my gems for once! you actually did a splendid job for my favorite ojisa#i don't know if i'm just still a 6 y.o girlie loving kazuhiko inoue's kakashi or i'm just itching for familial tenderness but man. he's suc#a comfort character to me now... i didn't expect that in 2024 but i'm grateful i could pull him and enjoy talks with this ossan now 🥺🫶#gym leader kabu#pokemon kabu#pokemon sword and shield#pokemon swsh#pokemon masters ex#pokemas#pmex#pokemon masters ex spoilers#pmex spoilers#pokemas spoilers#swsh#galar#pasio#trainer lodge

The argument that "well of course they had to include all those important crow moments even if they don't make sense, they need to drum up excitement for season 3!!!" is genuinely so funny to me. Like, 'they had to make the story bad so they could make more of it!' you're so close bestie
#maybe they're just not good at this! maybe its just a bad show! maybe if you feel the need to include shit that doesn't make sense in your#story to try and get hype you're not telling a very good story! maybe this entire show was a soulless cash grab built on name recognition#and had no interest in ever adapting the books well! maybe!#anyways thoughts and prayers y'all#six of crows#shadow and bone#s&b#kanej#wesper#helnik#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#wylan van eck#jesper fahey#nina zenik#matthias helvar

hey is it normal to charge for zine applications? like... tickets to enter your art into a zine?
#edit: it's either a cash grab or a scam#i really wanted to apply to this zine by this creator i fucked with#and they're charging $doubledigits for an Application Fee???#like i genuinely have never seen this before#and i'm confused#is this a common practice???

Like, I knew not to expect anything with how money-grubbing they seem to be, but
It's really been over two weeks, there's been a major backlash, and Dark Horse really isn't saying anything about the shit quality of the deluxe editions, huh
#Trigun#I've seen ONE copy where the gold isn't 'distressed' and peeling#YET#If you breathe on them they're likely to break lmao#And y'know#The typos and other crap#Even though they changed the text to add translator notes#And ellipses to that one page lmao#It's such a lazy cash grab#I'm so insulted

Wanting to post fanart of a thing a like but also I do not want to be torn to shreds by the people who dislike the thing.
#Man I love becoming a fan of a show only to go online and see literally everyone hating on it#it does so much for the mental health#Genuinely pretty scary the things I've seen that have happened to people like- my goodness#I get not liking a show but leave the fans alone my god.#I don't care if 'they're cringe' or 'annoying' that's not a justifiable reason for harassment and hate#And I mean like the average fan not the uh... [those] ones#Also I don't want people to praise my stuff while bashing on the og that's just-#ew.#I say this and yet hate on TNR all the time lmao#that's different#TNR was actually just a half-assed cash grab#<- but also I could care less if someone was a fan of it like- you do you buddy#anyways#just wanted to rant for a moment#Good day to you :)#Kos speaks

Im actually never forgiving Descendants: The Royal Wedding for being all silly goofy happy cartoon and then out of fucking NOWHERE just dropping "I really miss Carlos guys" HEY DISNEY WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM
#It's so fucking jarring#The entire episode up to that point was all goofy funny times and then#That#It also irks me cause they're clearly moving away from the core four with the next movie#I mean I HOPE so anyway#So what was the point of killing him off at all you could've just left him alive NOTHING would change#Like it's an animated mini movie you could easily find a VA that sounds like him#Or if you really didn't wanna do that#Put him in some sort of situation that causes him to be away from the wedding#Maybe he sends a letter or something idk#Like why kill him if you were already ending the core four's story there and moving on to new characters#And like don't get me wrong they SHOULD move away from the core four#Do not fucking touch them anymore unless it's little cameos#The entire reason they initially canceled D4 was because they didn't wanna go on without Cameron#So if they were to go back on that and kill him off so they could keep making movies that would be disrespectful as FUCK#D4 probably a cash grab but I am glad they went the creative route and decided to explore other parts of the universe#Instead of clinging onto the group that's missing a cast member#I just#Man#You could've left him alone Disney you really didn't have to do that#And in the worst way possible too#descendants#peg speaks

It shrilled, through an air crackling with blue light, and with each flash a great jolt drubbed through me till I thought my bones would break and the sap fly out of me like a split plant. I wondered what terrible thing it was that I had done.
--- The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath.
#okay but actually this is so so sosososo interesting#because the terrible thing she's done is not conform and be sad#even in her sadness and depression the reason they're treating her is because she doesn't fit into their expectation#she doesn't want to get married she doesn't want to be unnecessarily happy#and she gets. shock therapy.#and i am SO mad at taylor swift btw#because if this is psych ward and mental health in shock treatments and sylvia plath#then ttpd is a failure of poetry and a derivative and foolish and pointless and ugly cash grab.#that is anything at all because of fame and what sylvia plath has already done.#anyways#summer tbr#the bell jar

Moonlight chicken takes pains to show how everyone's lives in Jim's community are invariably bound together and all of them will be affected by the imminent gentrification of the neighbourhood. The show seems to be asking how to preserve communities like Jim's and their unique culture in the face of capitalism and so called development, an extremely relevant question in our times.
#from gaipa and his mother to jim to the temple#they're all connected they're all contributing to each other's lives#inflation and gentrification wiping out such communities#bane of our times#urban redevelopment projects are cash grabs for greedy governments and capitalist businesses#moonlight chicken is doing a great job showing this subtly#there's a reason the series opened with that news report talking about inflation#gahhh the layers#moonlight chicken the series#moonlight chicken

so i went to see The Wild Robot bc it's a holiday monday here and the theatre was p much empty, and hooo boy was that a lovely lil film and a good cathartic cry ♥︎
#the wild robot#a++#def go see it if u were on the fence#its lovely#or rent it when it comes out idk#v sweet#idk how i feel about the fact that they're already planning a sequel bc like. we have too many subpar sequels already#its the current curse of hollywood / studios / movies (capitalism. its just unnecessary capitalism)#but tbh it was v well done so it mightttt actually be good if they do go thru w it#im open to the idea#i am. mostly bc the storyline - despite being p much finished - still felt v open by the end and there's def an opportunity to do more#*if* they do it right#and not just. use it as a blatant cash-grab w/o putting in the same amount of effort#we shall see i suppose#bc that movie was v well done and the effort put into it Shows#it was paced differently than i expected but over all was a good time#anyway im rambling now#it was a good movie and i cried at least 3 times (/positive)#that about sums it up

please watch the Time Bandits remake before Abed endeavors to erase it from streaming services and succeeds
#Time Bandits#I did not expect it to be this good tbh#it's rare; the other rare example is What We Do In the Shadows#so I'm not surprised in the end#semantics shmemantics#all jokes aside let's not compare the two#each is a thing on its own#which is the whole point and the only way remakes should be#Otherwise they're nothing but soulless cash grabs#abed nadir

LIAR YOU TOTALLY WATCHED ONE SEQUEL!!! 😉💜
https://www.tumblr.com/wellhalesbells/736050291745652736/friendraichu-jackironsides
HAHAHAHA, I should clarify that I just mean for super hero-y ones. I mostly watch the first one and rarely watch the second (or anything after...... or remakes, lol), I think the only Marvel one I've seen in recent history is Thor: Ragnarok. Actually, the Spider-man franchise pretty much encapsulates how I interact with Marvel properties: I saw the first trilogy because it was new and exciting at the time, then they remade it too fast and I refused to pay for something I just saw, that was so recent in my memory from the release date I could still remember exact scenes from it (THERE WERE ONLY FIVE YEARS BETWEEN SPIDER-MAN 3 AND THE REBOOT - THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT AGAIN. HOW IS THAT ENOUGH TIME FOR ANYONE TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT AGAIN???), then I watched the first Tom Holland one (fourteen years I can vibe with) and nothing that followed because that's generally when the gimmicks and cameos start in lieu of good story-telling, or they make it dark and gritty because that's the only way to ground this superhuman, right (I assume a random white guy: "Should we fridge a lady? Yeah, we should probably fridge a lady"). The first one generally at least tries to have a soul because they have to introduce the character and make you care about them but many of the ones that follow (the few I've seen from when the MCU was just starting out and I had hope *coughs*Iron Man 2, Thor 2, etc.*coughs*) are just cash grabs that don't try because you already love this character and there they are, right there, so money please!
Meg 2 however..... EPIC, NO NOTES. It knows if I was a shark girl, I was probably a dinosaur girl and it gambled correctly. That's what you're watching this for? Have three sharks and an unnecessary (probably stupid expensive) dinosaur intro that is nearly completely irrelevant to the story but that you will also not want to live without and for an extra special bonus: oblivious husbands and their brilliant daughter. Like. You got me nailed, my dude. Will watch every subsequent sequel, no questions asked.
#i do understand that spider-man is a bullshit studio thing#and that it's a marvel property that belongs to sony and i implied everything is under the mcu umbrella#(and i honestly don't fault them for remaking it. instead i just don't understand how there was an audience for it???)#but they're all guilty of the same shit for different but also EXACTLY THE SAME reasons#they want to fleece money from me. because that's how it feels: like i'm being swindled#they're not earning my money through good content but instead through brand recognition and shared cultural touchstones#YOU CAN'T HAVE MY MONEY MOUSE#sony you can when it's miles (that is a sequel i DID watch and that DID have a soul imo) :))))#something similar (cash grabs) are pretty much the exact reason i stopped reading marvel comics too#capitalism ruins everything#for a moral everyone knows *snorts*#also generally the sequels have bigger budgets and just to quote freckle...... sometimes things that are expensive are worse#great things sometimes come from people having to work within constraints and when you aren't given any....... terrible things can happen#like bbc sherlock lolol. AHEM#basically if i watch a sequel now it has to be a character i am VERY invested in so i'm willing to be burned - deadpool or miles#or it has to break containment from people who will go see anything with a marvel sticker on it to people who..... won't#and still recommend it - like ragnarok#(i wonder if NOT going the dark gritty route and instead having a fun story with a conflict that wasn't dependent on outdoing every#other conflict that came before it in this whole universe had aNYTHING to do with its success. hrm. it's a mystery!)#normally i would answer this privately but i had to explain about the sony thing so you would know i KNEW about the sony thing and then....#tag explosion and now it has to be public and i'm sorry i went on a mouse rant. I HATE THE MONOPOLY MOUSE I JUST DO.#IT'S BAD AND IT MAKES BAD LAZY THINGS THAT KILL CREATIVITY (AND NOW ALSO FUNDS GENOCIDE SO)#!ask
