oh no live blog of Lala land

starting with a traffic jam and the NOISE is a terrible start

the ACTUAL SONG is maybe worse, this is like. Sparkling Elevator Music.

the extras are selling this dance sequence

this movie is banking hard on my having feelings about Hollywood and California that I absolutely do not have

blah blah struggling actress, L5Y did it better

Another song!! it is also. Bad.

why are these songs so nothing

why is the lead actress either not strong vocally or being coached to be not strong vocally

it's all very aesthetic so far but there's zero warmth? it's trying SO hard to be Golden Age Musical but it's missing all the fun, somehow

Lead Girl's friends insisted she come out to a party and then DITCHED HER?? and left her to walk home alone while drunk?!? they are roomies this is gonna be awkward as hell

...I am fifteen minutes in, this is all somehow worse than I expected

I had such a funny thought running through my head. I know that it has already been written about, but I will post this post anyway.

Just imagine: The MC were sitting doing something in the living room, the brothers were there too, in general, everyone was doing their own thing.

And at some point, the MC are like, "Hmm, I'm all numb. It is necessary to stretch out" and begin to crunch the limbs, the back. They get a kick out of it, but there was a deathly silence in the living room.

After a few seconds, the brothers are in a panic, because, oh my devil, man, did you just break your back?!? And hands with a neck?!?!?! What should we do?!??! You're going to die!!!

MC would probably be sitting with such a face "🤨", and Solomon would be laughing somewhere in the corner of the room at the ignorance of the brothers.

So I was watching the S2 arcane trailer and noticed that the scene with Vi in the middle of jinxs bombs cuts to that one firelight dude watching an enforcer and a guy, a Zaunite (with an enforcer?) beat up someone who explodes (someone who is a common enemy of Piltover or at least enforcers and Zaun)

Also I'm pretty sure this later clip is from the same scene. The background gate had the same pattern.

My last post made me want to spin the ballet au to suit the general cast, keeping Es as the protagonist 🩰

I don't have art for this one but I still got a bit carried away with the details LOL This definitely leans more into a sweet fix-it :3

The story would open with Es waking up in the medical room of Milgram Dance Academy, a very small and isolated school. Es is told they suffered a bad head injury during a performance, resulting in amnesia. Their instructor (Jackalope. Make this work however you wish.) tells them not to worry about it, and to focus on their dancing for now. Es feels a pressing responsibility to stay and rehearse, so they agree.

Jackalope tells them they must understudy several roles while recovering, not ready to jump into things right away. They're grateful, since they're struggling with their identity and expression without their memories.

The first student they are directed to is a shy and lanky dancer by the name of Haruka. They study under him as the role of a graceful, melancholic swan. They watch the choreography in general, and it looks nice enough. Es proceeds to spend several rehearsals with him, talking and bonding and learning he has a bit more going on than meets the eye. They try to offer help as he admits to familial issues, self esteem questions, and comments about sibling jealousy. In turn, he teaches Es to mimic some of his powerful emotions. At the end of their time together, they both perform for their class in full costume and staging. Now, Es understands each move with a deeper understanding than their initial look at the steps.

Next, they’re sent to meet the bubbly girl playing Juliet and begin the process anew. This continues to make a total of ten roles. Some of the dancers take the sessions kindly, while others are brash, secretive, or just confusing.

After rehearsing with Kotoko and learning to understand her determination and confidence, Es is sent back to Haruka, who has moved onto a new show and new role. They’re shocked to discover that their words to each dancer – always well-intentioned – had caused some issues backstage. Now, there are rivalries and changes in stage presence. While experiencing stress (that Es has inadvertently caused,) some were distracted in rehearsal and got injured. Es must take on the interpersonal issues as well as the choreography challenges.

I don’t have all the roles down and was trying to stick to well-known shows anyway, but I think I’d want Muu to be the Sugar Plum Fairy, Kazui to be Albrecht from Giselle, and Amane to be Clara. I wanted to keep them traditionally gendered to prove there are plenty of roles for men, but I can’t help but have Odette/Odile thoughts for T1 Mikoto ;-;

Like the other post, I'm equally tempted to have the dancers performing ballet adaptations of the mvs 👀 I want to see. Bee tutu. Doctor coat costume. Marching band tutu. AKAA mismatched look. The backgrounds. The music. The choreo. So many cool possibilities...

As a sweet au, it all ends with everyone better for having met one another. Es is cast in a solo performance, combining everything they've learned both emotionally and technically from the others. They feel satisfied with their sense of identity, and shine onstage ✨️✨️✨️

I guess now I just engage in a very odd practice of being the only person in the world who reblogs from my own sideblog which only consists of reblogs of other people's posts. Which only exists because I wanted to sort pictures slightly more granularly than was feasible on my main where i post about more than one video game. But actually it only exists because I got that url on accident

The reason Nobara has been eliminated is because she is one hell of an OP QUEEN who could have ended the villains with just one finger snap of Hairpin.

Like all Nobara needs to defeat Sukuna is a finger and her strawdoll. RESONANCE! No more Sukuna! The guy is pretty lucky that the jujutsu elders are so stupid that they hoarded the fingers instead of experimenting on Nobara's abilities if she can destroy it. I think she could totally destroy it.

The same situation can apply to Kenjaku. Nobara only needs a part of his body to destroy him with Resonance and Hairpin.

Come to think of it, Nobara could probably even hurt Gojo. I don't think Infinity can protect him from her CT.

All I'm saying is Gege probably realized he accidentally made Nobara too OP. She's like Gojo 2.0 but better. Then he panicked because he just had put Gojo in a box to create tension. So he had her eliminated immediately too.

the sensible part of my brain is like maybe I should fess up to my doctor at the appointment tomorrow and the part of my brain that got me into this mess in the first place is like no absolutely cannot do that until it's got bad enough it should have got stitches again (but unless I hit a vein I am not going to get stitches)

oh new development in my periodic, slightly obsessive research on wolf trap don giovanni. dug up a digital program guide and found this

confirming my interpretation of the three mysterious cloaked figures as fates (vindication!) as well as, curiously, giving them names

guess what 🎟️

YAAAAAAAAY 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂thank you!!!

Honestly it kinda makes me sad that there isn't a lot of stuff on Kallen around (maybe i'm just not searching in the right place :<), but I just loved and adored her character on first sight ngl. When my friend had first showed me "Thus Spoke Apocalypse", I feel like that was already the start of the downfall because the moment Kallen showed up, I was like "👀? oh? pretty girl? hi? hello?" and then I found out she dies so ASLDJFALSKJH

Of course! I didn't get a chance to really get to know her until I picked up Elan Palatinus AND SHES JUST SOOOOO COOL I'm particularly weak for characters that act like Robin Hoods, and her story in Elan Palatinus is kinda like that, trying to protect the weak + fighting against the corrupted church that she had vowed to fight for. I think it's also interesting too that this has been a childhood dream with her childhood friend to "save the world!!" but the more she grows up, the more the dream starts to get strained, and she finds herself questioning it a bit more, but she's bound to her oath to protect and I just alskdjfaldh

Kallen also runs away from the church after stealing some big secret they had been hiding - some powerful weapon of sorts - and it's so wild to me that despite being a traitor in the church's eyes, somewhere down the line of history, you'll wind up seeing that Kallen gets called "Saint Kallen," probably thanks to Otto being the leader of the church (Otto being her friend). The girl that no longer wanted anything to do with the church now being revered as a saint for the same church for her sacrifice later. She never asked for that. I don't think she'd want that, the same way that she probably never wanted Otto to revive her later.

ANYWAYS, on that note: Yae village arc! So at least to me, when I was getting into HI3rd and reading in the recommended reading order, the way that I have Kallen in my head was that by the end of Elan Palatinus, she swore to continue on her lonely path of the Kaslana oath -- that she must always walk alone in order to protect humanity because no one else could ever shoulder this burden but her. Being betrayed by her friend, it's hard to trust anyone/rely on anyone else to do it (at least that's the way I read it but it's been a bit so that might be obscured). So to me, I think Kallen was very much stuck in this idea that she must be the only one to bear this weight to save humanity, and that plays into how I interpret a lot of Kallen and Sakura's interactions. Maybe it's also because I can't understand love at first sight as someone who is on the arospectrum, but Kallen wanting to fight alongside Sakura so Sakura is not alone, the way my brain seemed to register it as, "Is Kallen saying this because she cares for Sakura as a person? Or is this part of the Kaslana oath that she had sworn herself to?" So there's a little bit of balancing between true affection vs obligations to duty when it comes to Kallen's feelings towards Sakura (in my perspective - i'm stressing on this bc i'm anxious forgive me asldfjh). But by the end of the arc, I think Kallen turns around and actually realizes her own feelings towards Sakura in the end, but she's still dutybound and she must protect everyone, even if it means sacrificing (or well not sacrificing but locking away) Sakura in order to do so.... It's just,,, really tragic and it's just 😭😭😭😭Man......

Anyways, Kallen!! I love Kallen. I also love Kallen and Sakura. I have my own thoughts regarding Sakura's feelings towards Kallen but this was just meant to be a Kallen brainrot post myeheh <3

sometimes i get a lil sad when i play skyrim bc i distinctly remember being like 12 yrs old, having bought a copy of skyrim for my xbox 360, and going into school the next day and talking w some friends abt video games in general and bringing up that i was excited to play it - only four the boys at our table to start making fun of me for being a girl and wanting to play video games, and it upset me so much tht i returned my copy and didn’t play for it probably close to a decade.

idek what this is meant to b about. anyway i love skyrim
