#which is frankly a pretty small population lmao

i feel like media reviews have gotten more and more useless to me. rotten tomatoes and letterboxed ratings have nothing to do with whether i'll enjoy a movie or not. goodreads ratings regularly give 4+ stars to books i hate and 3 stars to books i love with all my heart. it's coming to the point now where i really am like. okay i just have to experience this myself and see if i like it bc the only person's taste who i trust is mine.

[kitwilsonsass]

okay things i have a lot of feelings about both good and sad and bad off the top of my head because everything is very whaaaat right now:

+++

THE GOSH DARN MOVIE STARTING WITH CLINT, ASSHOLES

thor just fucking beheading thanos fucking yes gore bitch

hulk bringing regular sized man more tacos idk it was just cute

KORG

“HAIL HYDRA” STEVE I HAVE NEVER LOVED YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT FUCKIN PLAY MY DUDE I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THAT SEQUENCE FOR BEING SO MUCH MORE THAN A HALF ASSED RERUN OF THE FIRST MOVIE

and then CAPT VS CAPT / “that IS america’s ass”

AFOREMENTIONED JAMES D’ARCY AS JARVIS CAMEO though it raises some questions about enver gjokaj as sousa/that cop in avengers 1 again

also tony getting to talk to his dad was nice. really everything with tony was nice like i know he was played out but this was a good solid fucking well rounded character arc and a good out.

clint & nat fighting it out for who was gonna die like lmao predictable but the content i come here for let’s be real

everything rocket did while existing was good

nebula kind of being the key to things fucking up was a good twist honestly

wanda’s ‘you will’ moment was just fucking badass as fucking shit dude idk

the fuckin hammer moment my GOD suddenly age of ultron has value just for that fuckin payoff

just, in general, a character like ant man meaning something

also just the fact that capt/iron man/thor were the trio mostly fending off thanos since they were the original three going at it in avengers 1, again, nice call back

ANYWAY THIS BEING THE ONE SCENARIO WHERE THEY WON. CRAZY. ALMOST LIKE THEY SAID THAT STRAIGHT UP IN INFINITY WAR AND YET EVERYONE FLIPPED THEIR SHIT AND BLAMED QUILL FOR RUINING EVERYTHING AS THOUGHT IT WASN’T EXACTLY WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN HUH HUH???? HUH????? *glaring at fandoms*

*SOBBING NOISES*

tony with his daughter and him making the decision knowing fucking with time might save everyone else but cost him what he’s made with his family, even if that didn’t end up being the case

realizing where nat and clint were going.... lmao.... no fuck you

thor and frigga =((( love me some dead mama drama =(((

back to clint and nat uh lmao that super dramatically backlit head to head moment fucking kill me he should’ve never had a wife and a farm i will die by this sword if there’s one moment i should’ve had a stupid kiss it was this moment fuck my life

the second peter swung in to tony at the end... NOT AGAIN NO

sam getting the shield WEHHHHH

the signed credits of the og squad... wehhHHHHHHHHH

THE ---

half the population seemed more like 90% of the population with how fuckin desolate they made it seem in half those shots holy shit it was like 28 days later up that earth.

hulk looked really small. like really small.

i saw a couple effects/continuity in shot issues. nothing huge.

again nothing important but we had a mention of ronan in a movie ronin was in and man what a common name in this universe, even if clint was never officially called it himself.

“eat a salad” yeah, we get it, he’s fat and it looked silly. “take a bath” would’ve been funnier and more mom-like and... possibly less adr’d in sounding while we’re at it.

the girl power moment should’ve been cool but frankly i’d rather they just had more individual ass kicking moments than one shot where them being together in the midst of a massive battle field made no real sense and meant nothing.

oh yeah, great ‘first openly gay character’ too. like, really?

everyone kind of just showing up was great but also like damn they organized and bamfed across the world fast like how the fuck did they all know.

the steve ending was... i don’t know. i get it. it pulls the heart strings. i do *like it*. but i also feel like it goes a lot against what he’s done, and i don’t get how he can just happily live in an alternate universe knowing what could happen. it also pretty much went against every line of logic they used for the time travel? which is kind of a big problem?

ANYWAY i’m definitely forgetting A LOT but

very good movie very pleasantly surprised with some things i thought weren’t gonna be great when they started happening but ended up being gr8 (like the whole second time travel act). much emotions much watery eyes. may see again.

pleeeeeease spill all the tea on the amis web series. im gagging for it lmao

I don't feel entirely comfortable completely just going off here as this is an entirely public forum and some of their fans are WEIRDLY devoted but I'll present this short list and try to be objective for the most part (aside from my personal opinions on what we've actually seen of the project thus far):

-their Tumblr presence is so unbelievably unprofessional, especially considering they like to call themselves a P R O F E S S I O N A L P R O D U C T I O N every chance they get. By this I mean they answer all sorts of anons and asks they absolutely do not and quite frankly probably SHOULD NOT answer from a PR perspective. Their response when people call them out on boasting about how ~diverse~ they are and patting themselves on the back for it despite their overwhelmingly thin white cast is embarrassing and definitely NOT how such things should be answered if you're GOING to answer them. They literally reply like Well sure but we have a lot of LGBT representation so we ARE diverse! Which is uh. Really wild.

(Btw their excuse for not having very many people of color in their cast is Its a small rural town and we can only cast people who audition :( but uh. Go ahead and look up the population stats of Bath and nearby cities. Uh.)

-they also love reblogging posts about how they're SOOO much better than the BBC series (which Uhhhhh...there is zero evidence that leads me to believe that but okay) which is super not professional and also just weird? Like. The BBC series IS going to get lots of views because it's...wait for it...a professional production. This isn't a threat to you. What are you doing. Discouraging folks from watching other shows is Not a great look...

-they also love responding to asks about how attractive they all are all the time which is like, at best annoying. And uh. Wait for it. Unprofessional.

-the creator/writer/director/star is all the same person who has also been cosplaying the character for years AND runs the social media which I have A Lot of thoughts on but rather than being tacky (like this production) I'll just say that when you factor that in, all of this is super extra Not a great look, as this is pretty transparently an ego vanity project. Sorry!

-and just to tie this all together: they CONSTANTLY are hammering people over the head with the fact that this is PROFESSIONAL we are a PROFESSIONAL adaptation etc despite running everything in maybe the least professional manner imaginable...but like. Their production company runs on volunteers. Their actors are volunteers. How...are they defining...professional...

Bonus: their production stills, props, and production design all look so vague and bland and boring and uninteresting and I cannot fathom why certain sects of les mis fandom are salivating over this. And that title...is a choice.

EDIT: holy GOD I just remembered how nightmare-inducingly awful the makeup is. It's on CAMERA not on a STAGE the makeup style for those two things is VERY DIFFERENT and this leans HEAVY towards stage makeup in places and it's REALLY embarrassing...HOW do you not know that...

[thecrownprincessapollina-aa-blog]

Hey darlings!! Hope everyone’s having a nice day so far!! :D To those of you lovelies who I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name’s Tia and let me warn you in advance that I’m a plot whore, so sooner or later Imma gonna be creeping at your inbox. OK, that just sounded quite creepy  but I promise you that I’m far frm it and I just can wait to get to know y’all so much better! :)) Anyway, the gist of it is that I just LOVE LOVE <3 TO PLOT, so if any of you doves, wanna plot a connection or anything with Apollina, feel free to like this intro post and I’ll def hit up yr IM’s later when I’m more free <3 Below  is Apollina’s bio :)

   So as stated in my ooc intro post in the ooc blog, Apollina is the eldest child of the human Belgium king and currently the crown princess. So far, I’m  imagining that she has 2 younger bros who are pretty to close to her age and two under-18 teenage twin sisters.

   Ever since she was a young girl, she had always been an  extraordinarily intelligent, sharp-eyed and extremely mature for her age. She had a HUGELY IMMENSE thirst for knowledge about everything and she was also a very eager learner. Her quick and sharp mind made it easy for her to catch and grasp stuff, so that resulted in opening her eyes to to the world,the state of her country and the workings of the political state as well as some other stuff.

   She thus, turned out to be very forward-thinking, resourceful and pretty self-reliant which lead to her having many good ideas/thoughts and opinions on how to solve whatever problems the country  had and  on how to consistently improve/advance her country.

Eversince the supernatural community came out to the world in 1996, she had been fascinated to know more of the many supernatural species. Thus, she had whole-heartedly delved into reading, researching and gathering up as much knowledge and information as possible about them. That was not to say, she condoned the villanous acts or murderous rampages or lust for tyrannical power half of that community demanded/craved. She definitely frowned upon the creatures who had committed evil or extremely selfish deeds to benefit their ownself or their own kind solely and would like nothing better for those ppl to be stopped or punished at least. BUT since she was pretty clear-headed and open-minded, she definitely was smart not to condemn a whole supernatural species for the bad things done by only half of their population. She knew there must  be good supernatural creatures around.

And she was proven right, through somehow fatefully getting to know a few supernaturals over the years who meant to do no real harm to humans and didn’t have any bad intentions for the human race. (hint: wcs here fr a few supernatural buddies ;)) She even had a tutor for one of her fav subjects, during her teenage years who was secretly a powerful Wiccan witch who had extended her aging and thus could pass off s looking to be about middle-aged. That witch was a very loving and generous soul who Apollina instantly quickly liked and befriended. her tutor then gradually find out about Apollina’s eagerness to expand her knowledge of the supernaturals and knowing the girl to be  just enough not to use the information for evil gains, she then revealed her secret to the trustworthy teen, and taught her as much as she could about all kinds of info about the 3 main species of werewolves, witches, and vampires.

Thus, my cunning and clever baby has def not arrived unprepared as she has  come stocked up with plenty of vervain (some which she has already ingested before arrival), vervain darts, wolfsbane grenades,a few stakes, some small magically charmed personal items by her dear witch tutor-friend (like her necklace & rings/ even dress) of her own which can protect her somewhat from other supernatural beings and thru her many travels over the years which she used, to lap up normal & supernatural cultural knowledge, she has searched hard and for now found 2 dark objects. All of this kept securely under a secret compartments in her many luggage bags..Ok ,my baby doesn't mean to purposely attack anyone with all her stuff, she's just being  playing safe and smart to use them for self-defense purposes as she has def no plans to die anytime soon. PLus, in fact, she's somewhat hoping to be able to use this gathering as an opportunity to hopefully foster political/economical connections with some of the supernatural royals as being the always-forward and innovative thinker that she is, she can see that there are quite some benefits for everybody involved to work together to further improve/advance their respective countries

My poor baby has never really been in any sort of romantic relationship. For one thing, this ambitious, goal oriented, knowledge-hungry girl has hardly ever spared a thought for romance and wasn't bothered at all in seeking any romantic relationship. She is a warm and loving person but to her, all romantic stuff was just frivolous stuff and in some cases, could even be just small stuff for people to amuse themselves with and quite frankly isn;t really worth her time. Why be knee-deep, madly* passionately in love till you while your hours away doing romantic stuff for long periods of time. Isn't it far better to use your valuable time to devoting yourself in pursuit of information, advancement of your society  socializing with platonic friends & family as well as networking? Thus, my baby isn;t really against romance but she just doesn't bother about it or see the necessity for it. Hence, she views her upcoming marriage to a supernatural as just an advantageous opportunity to foster alliances, gain peace and to hopefully further improve her country. She thinks a marriage is good enough if its based on mutual respect, understanding and maybe some caring for the other's welfare. She doesn't even think about the possibility of falling in love. She is just hoping that her future husband isn't a monster, is witty, smart , proper and has steady head on his shoulder and then they could be friends XD lmao

   So her personality is that of a charming, highly intelligent, friendly, sociable, sharp-eyed, good-hearted and quite compassionate woman as she never wants to see anyone get hurt  unless they truly deserve it or deserve to get punished for a wrongdoing. She  cares deeply about her family, close friends and citizens and can be quite loving towards them. However, she doesn’t trust someone too easily or quickly as she had learnt that people carry many faces or hidden agendas, so she from early on had learnt how to put on a charming  and amiable exterior altho on the inside her true feelings of either anger, frustration, or suspicions remain in the inside. She does show some sternness when dealing with wrongdoers but she never lets her emotions get out of control and does her best to appear collected. These actions were tiring at times, but hey that’s the life of an effective queen is it not?

   Thus she can also be pretty cunning and subtly manipulative towards others, but solely for the reasons of doing good or for benefiting her loved ones or country. There are also times when she has a tendency to be impatient tho she does her best not to show it. She’s also an ambitious woman, goal-oriented, forward-thinking who’s always determined to reach her objectives or results.

She also cares a lot for elegance and behaving in a conduct that's befitting of crown princess in order to maintain a good and perfect public image, so that can sometimes be a pain in the ass to some people. She can also be a lil picky at times, and she is quite opinionated but she's wise& crafty enough to know when and how to voice them.and like i said earlier in her bio, while she isn't against them & ,  this crown princess doesn't really spare a thought of her precious time towards romance or lustful affairs/romps. She's benevolent toward her friends or people who are really into it or pursue it or in relationships but she's is not at all bothered about having this kind of stuff for herself. (tsk, tsk, this girl really needs to loosen up more and get the romantic part of her soul stirred up or shaken up somewhat.)

Oh and one of the things she is highkey not good at is singing. To her frustration and embarrassment, her vocal pipes ain’t that good for singing. Her voice is elegant and lovely enough on the ears when she is talking or giving eloquent speeches, but poor girl can’t sing very well.  Despite having taken some classes, she’s still unable to master the art of singing well, so she can carry a decent moderate tone when she sings, but she can’t go deep and she specially can’t go high-pitch or try to sing loud vocals or else it’ll be horribly off-key or pitchy.
