well that was disappointing as all fuck
#rwrb movie#look. the actor chemistry carried this movie#but they still didn't carry it like. to the finish line#it's like#cute romcom; not even necessarily a bad movie#suck-ass adaptation tho like jfc#and i'm saying this as someone who does generally afford adaptations a LOT of grace#i know things will have to be cut and changed and it's all good#sometimes a little sad perhaps but sure doesn't equal not being good#so when i say#this is a bad adaptation#i mean this IS A BAD ADAPTATION#it ENTIRELY missed the tone. the point. the themes. the motifs#like#mh. yeah.#mona rambles

I wish we could have met in some other way.
Lawlight Week Day 2: Soulmates
If you saw me repost and re-edit this several times uh No you didn't </3
Still frames/Individual gifs:
If you know what every frame is from you get a free cookie. by the way

A belief in Nominative Determinsim
#mira & isa sitting at the other side of the room: oh that cannot be a healthy rationalisation. someone should deconstruct that QUICKLY...#change's strongest soldiers VERSUS one guy echo chambering themselves about a susperstition-based retributive model of the world.

space sweepers but they're delivery people and are at no point on screen through the entire movie
#fantasy high#riz gukgak#kristen applebees#gorgug thistlespring#adaine abernant#fabian seacaster#figueroth faeth#the bad kids#half tempted to say these names are forum handles they use so much it pretty much became their professional names lol#I keep them teenagers bc its funnier that way#no real lore I just like drawing this. but I do think abt how theyre all weirdos too also bc thats funny to me#riz is a huge conspiracyhead who does everything by hands. he has a casio fx-570 in mint condition. nobody knows how he's maintaining it#he is nonetheless Really Good at his job. which somewhat tracks bc it's a job that requires keeping up with interstation conflicts#and new policies and an obsessive amount of planning. but he is Too Good at it. and also he dresses like that#kristen has the atomic engine that theoretically lets her unmake and remake matters with her mind. but it consumes a huge amount#of energy so it's mostly useless. she's still a cult survivor also#gorgug lives his entire life on a ship with his parents who quit a cushy deal maintaining a space station bc he wouldn't be allowed on#the low gravity let him grow very tall but also his oxygen saturation is pretty bad so he's got breathing support#fig is a robot who just found out she's a robot like two months ago. she's been assuming everyone's a robot like her and she's been feeling#very betrayed by her mom lying about that part. she's on a body mod spree which is rough bc system-specific parts are expensive#and so is adapting random parts to her system#fabian's still a pirate captain's son. can't say anything that'd be able to get the vibes across clearer than that#adaine went to tech/business school. she put her monthly allowance towards an ecoterrorist group in her academy which turned out to be an o#and she's currently wanted by UTS. more than fabian. which makes him slightly mad#she's also acquired a passion for low-tech weaponry on the way. she likes ice picks and cleavers#I think up all of this for no reason except that once again the idea of all these people being 1/teens and 2/on the same ship to be posties#is hilarious to me. esp. if they were in a forum group chat beforehand

while I do like the added dialogue between Sally and Percy in the minotaur scene, namely Sally's speech to Percy telling him to hold fast, I really wish the scene had more of the urgency that it did in the book. Like Grover's heavily injured to the point of incoherency, Sally and Percy literally have to drag him up the hill, and that's when they're overtaken by the minotaur. In the show, having them all come to a grinding standstill and Grover being fully alert like "sorry I know we're being chased by certain death but your mom's human so she can't come :/" was kind of adflksadfjasdf
oh and in the book Percy doesn't immediately pass out. Instead, Percy doesn't let himself until he's hauled Grover over the boundary line and all the way to the big house because he needs help and it's only then does Percy finally collapse. and idk just the imagery of it all -- Percy crying for help, for his mother -- it always stuck with me and I wish they hadn't taken it out.
#listen I know even the book Sally was like /I can't go on the property/#but theoretically Grover could have granted her permission the same way Annabeth does for Tyson in som#Grover was just literally passed out and could not#so having Grover be awake and just be like /yeah that's a bummer huh/ made him seem strangely apathetic to it lmaoo#also I'm not saying the scene was bad!!! my gripes are mostly personal preference#I think the added dialogue with sally and percy was beautiful and could have been woven into a more book accurate portrayal of the scene#sally jackson#pjo adaptation#pjo#percy jackson#grover underwood#mine

Whenever people talk about lack of media literacy they always bring up people who think a character doing bad things=the author endorsing said bad things which are very annoying but I feel like we're ignoring the opposite, equally annoying side of the discourse who think if you criticize the inclusion/depiction of dark/sensitive topics in any way it’s bc you’re a dumb baby who can’t separate fiction from reality. and it's like no I know I’m not supposed to clap and cheer at violence against women I’m criticizing how much of it there is. Idiot
#.txt#also sometimes a work DOES reflect the author's bigoted views lol#why are we acting like that's unherad of#anyway I thought about when I argued with d&d apologists over the way they adapted loras now I’m mad again#‘it’s not like the religious zealots were portrayed as good people what’s the issue’#the issue is that storyline wasn’t in the book they went out of their way to make the one gay character be tortured for his sexuality#'why are you upset that bad things are happening to the characters' book loras got deepfried that's not what i have a problem with

i don't know how to describe how much i love sonic battle's endings with words so i made a comic about it
epilogue:
#had to remake the post after SOMEONE accidentally posted it too early last night so. my bad#but yea. EVERYONE GO PLAY SONIC BATTLE RIGHT NOW ITS REAL GOOD#personally i don't think my adaptation of the ending does it enough justice at all. there's so much more to it than this man#also i never want to draw tails crying again. that shit hurt#fern's sketchbook#sth#sonic the hedgehog#tails the fox#i am so tired and i am not tagging all these characters. sorries

nah cuz say what you will about the new yakuza live action but this shit is fucking gay
#yakuza#like a dragon yakuza#ryu ga gotoku beyond the game#kazumaji#goro majima#kiryu kazuma#is it gay to pin another man to a fence while you attempt to jam your fingers in his face? yeah. sorry but it just kinda is#i hope even the people who don't like the live action (which is understandable) don't take it too seriously#even if it's not what many people may have wanted i personally am having fun with it.#dubiously-good-to-objectively-bad + strangely gay live action adaptations are my jam#and hey at least they still got the bizarre kazumaji psychosexual rituals amirite

My first run of Hades in a nutshell.
My second run was actually worse.
No one cares but I made an approximate diagram of all my runs and death for fun. RIP to Zagreus but I like the administrative chamber a lot <3
As you can see my motivation to kill my dad dwindled after I finished the mainline story
#hades#hades game#hades supergiant#zagreus#chibi#LBArt#This game has been sucking my free time#and i am so happy about it#that tisiphone death on attempt 60 was me trying to change my mirror build and being very bad at adapting. i swear i'm a good gamer. maybe.

idk if there’s some kinda term for this, but I like when writers give real props to adaptations of their work:
-akira Toriyama admitted the bardock father of goku TV special made him cry, he said it told a great story in a way he would’ve never come up with. This led to him giving the special a direct nod in the manga
-dav pilkey loved the captain underpants movie and saw it in theaters multiple times. He said he appreciated the movie giving Principal Krupp a softer side, saying he kinda wishes he’d done the same in the books
-dunno if this counts but some bits from western sonic media (such as Sonic’s love of chili dogs) were worked into Japanese works/stuff SEGA made
-above all, Gary K. Wolf thought the who framed Roger rabbit film was so much better than his book (who censored roger rabbit), that he retconned the original story into being a bad dream Jessica had and the rest of the book series is based on the movie instead
feel free to add any more pls
#just me being dumb#idk I appreciate appreciation#bc there are so many stories of writers being dissatisfied w/ adaptations of their work#and idk it makes me feel bad for both them and the ppl who adapted it
