#this feels like such a cash grab

There is no way I'm buying all of those lightsticks. Is it not just interchangeable? This is so stupid.

sylvia plath, todd anderson and virginia woolf (aka ACTUAL tortured poets) watching taylor “im breaking up with my boyfriend for his intense depression and blaming it on him, im dating a racist who enjoys watching woc being brutalized and harasses young woc artists, i sent my fans out on a hate train to attack a young woc actress for a line she had to say as part of her job to show how mentally ill her character was, im dating a maga supporter, i refuse to say anything about a current genocide despite being the most influential person in the world right now, i am a billionaire, i fly 13 minute flights and have the highest carbon emission of any celebrity, i am a known white feminist who only speaks about issues when it affects me and has constantly let my fans get away with extreme racism and even encouraged it by associating myself with known racists” swift call herself a tortured poet (her writing sounds like a bunch of thesaurus words slapped over gabba hanna and rupi kaur-esque poetry that was created purely as a trinket for an edgy pinterest board)

it feels everytime mcr does something major everyone has got to complain for the next week and a half. feels like christmas dinner daily on tumblr the way everyone’s fighting all the time

Honestly the sheer hatred for the Minecraft movie trailer and simultaneous mini resurgence of people talking about mcsm has me going back to that game.

Replaying it now and. I’m gonna sob I didn’t realize how much I missed it

My unpopular Fallout opinion is that 3 isn't actually that bad of a game and is arguably more enjoyable than 4 in most areas

So monster high g1 put Clawdeen and Toralei together in time for a Pride comic… they got together off page… and now new stuff is released where they’ve broken up, again off page. Like 2 months after it was announced they were together at all.

percy jackson AND doctor who capturing the magic it had in 2012??? we’re so back babey

[thunderandsage]

on the importance of medium, or why two of these versions of httyd work and the third doesn’t

so first of all, we’ve got the classic animation:

this is good. this is the prototype. here, both the exaggerations and simplifications of human and non-human features match, making both the dragon and viking characters match, and there is similar flexibility with facial expressions and movements

now for the 2012 live spectacular take, which was different:

first of all, the practical effects are amazing here (they can walk and fly!), but the fact remains that the dragons here have a massively different feel of design—less flexible, more “rough”, but the thing is, this fits the medium—it’s a stage show, so character expressions don’t get that much focus either, and the dinosaur-esque reconstructions are still made to be eye-catching while putting a unique spin on it, and with the idea that it’s closer to theatre, the audience knows and expects that a level of “artifice” is present and will accept it

now what i don’t like:

putting aside the discussion on how incredibly unconfident the creators are in the success of this movie that they’re trying for a shot-for-shot remake and thus ironically doom the project’s integrity from the start, look at this image. look at how a realistic character juxtaposed to a cartoon one enhances neither and instead makes it dip into the territory of uncanny. this version of toothless works in the animated movie because it fit the animation style of the movie, and was changed for the live show so it would fit the style of the show, but here? nu-uh. if you’re trying to make everything realistic with the characters and setting but the dragons, i can’t immerse myself in this. the mediums are off.

[leofrith]

obviously the quality of all these shows is suffering from the fact that their primary function is to provide the setup for future star wars projects (mcuification, baby!!! who's ready for the infinity war style team-up movie where the gang takes down thanos—i mean thrawn?). but i also think a big part of why the book of boba fett, mando s3 (and to a slightly lesser extent, s2 as well), and ahsoka all suffer from the same issue of having their main protagonists cast aside in favour of side characters—which in itself might not be as annoying as it is if those stories were even remotely interesting or well-written—is because filoni & co. want to be making an ensemble piece. but instead, they're stuck having to make a bunch of solo projects that are ostensibly about individuals or smaller casts of characters, which they then stumble their way through in the most half-assed, half-hearted way possible because it's all just setup for the "mandoverse movie," a phrase which makes me want to projectile vomit.

[maya-caffrey]

can we bring back procedurals? or at least just proper shows like how TV used to be? 5 to 15 seasons, a generous amount of episodes per season, 45 minutes: the sweet spot between too long and too short, pilot episodes that are wildly different from the rest of the show, filler episodes that overall contribute nothing but are extremely fun because that is what god intended, random musical episode, crossovers, waiting an entire week in anticipation to see what happens next, like, this was the PEAK of television, where did we go wrong

i won’t pretend to know much about juice wrld but i remember reading he was a big fan of the game and i really do think the event was a pretty touching tribute to his music and legacy

PLAYED MONUMENT VALLEY 3 AND THEN DREW THIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER

[sukibenders]

I laugh every time someone says Penelope is more of a feminist who understands women's rights more than Eloise simply because she's LW because, be so for real right now, that is such a lie. Like Eloise has her moments and her feminism is very yte and privileged, but at least she takes the time to actually consider from other's perspective, even if she's rude here and there, and appears to make attempts to grow as a character (when the narrative allows her to rather than picking favorites). Penelope exposing secrets and being feared by most of the Ton, especially the women and young girls, for the amount of power she has does not scream feminist to me but go off.

[valewritessss]

The amount of criticism and hate the wottg book is getting makes me scared to like it bc it feels like if I do then I’m doing something wrong😅

[wa3jetisbestpony]

revstar fans we need to put on the best talent show this towns ever seen and save ReLive!!

[mwagneto]

like overall it's genuinely just sad that not only is deadpool 3 an mcu movie. it's also just. not a deadpool movie? like it's all just a big excuse to wrap up the multiverse mess both in canon and to the audience so they can start with a semi clean slate but like seriously if you switched the mc from deadpool to like anyone else it'd be the same exact movie (except it'd be less funny ig) which really sucks coz the deadpool movies were pretty much the only unique things marvel had left
