ATLA is a show that should not be adapted. I won’t even get in to how adaptations and remakes are the death of creativity, but what I will say is this.

ATLA had a purpose to fulfill. One of its main purposes was to be very formative for children, yes, but it was also made to tell a high fantasy story, and the showrunners chose to use the medium of an animated tv show for that purpose. The original ATLA series just *succeeds* at what it was meant to do because it was filtered through the medium of cartoons.

ATLA doesn’t work as a live action. In live action, you don’t show emotions the same way, and it’s almost impossible to have all those over dramatic visual gags that made it a hit on nickelodeon in the first place. Live action humor can happen, but live action humor has got to be more sardonic and subtle rather than ‘this is katara, my flying sister’.

ATLA is not an anime. Its selling point is not the harsh, fierceness of the natural world, it’s supposed to be a romp. The actual plot is pretty serious, and the original ATLA show works around that, making light of it well, because of the fact that the children in the show are *children*, and they *act like it*. Making the show look real puts the violence and the awfulness of the kids situation in HD, AND it is harder to introduce all the soul that the careful animation of the original has.

Animation is the heart and soul of ATLA, because the only way it works as a children’s show and succeeds in its messaging is if the hard concepts are introduced in a manageable way. Also, it is HARD to find good child actors who’s acting won’t come out stilted.

If they were gonna make ATLA live action, it would have to not be a kids show. Frankensteining the plot of a kids show into a medium best suited for adult media will not work.

also, the ATLA live action show was born out of a place of capitalistic greed in a way that the original just wasn’t.

I saw someone play through a few games by a dev called arcadekitten and I wanted to draw one of the characters so I did

(Yes it’s been forever since I’ve drawn something)

Peter: If I were Peralta, would that make you Holt?

Tony: I'm not gay.

Peter: Wait you're not?

Cue cut scenes from the past few weeks, sitcom style, showing Rhodes and Tony acting very homoerotically

Help a college student graduate by answering a survey!!

Hey!! Are you over 18 and in the miraculous fandom? Then this is for you!!

Hi everyone, this is my last semester of uni, and one of my final projects to be able to graduate is to write a scientific paper. I'm writing an article about adult fans of children's animation, specifically Miraculous Ladybug. My goal is to understand what makes adults (like us) want to join fandoms centered around shows aimed primarily at children, and to do that I'd love to hear directly from the source! The survey takes around 10 minutes to answer, it's 100% anonymous and it would help me immensely!

>>Click here for the survey<<

I need at least 30 people to answer, but honestly the more the merrier! I've also made a little thank you gif at the end, so if you see it let me know! If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask, as well!

Please reblog so it can reach more people! Thank you so much!

Doomed by the Narrative.

(alternate version and rambling under the cut)

OKAY so I've been wanting to use this color palette for a while now, and I just remembered it a few days ago, right? And when I was thinking about it, I thought it would be perfect for Clover because. Y'know. They're doomed by the narrative.

I think I like the first one a bit more than the alt version, but I like the alt version as well because you can see more of Clover. Either way, I'm really really REALLY happy with how it came out.

REBLOGS HELP MORE THAN LIKES! If you like it, please reblog!! 🫶

Sometimes I think about how the dndads cast should be on tumblr, with them having a subreddit(you know how they can be) and dndadstwt being like 10 people, tumblr would be the perfect place for them to see more of the fandom, if they wish to that is. Since quite a lot of people on here are way less honed in on negativity than reddit and twitter.

My edit of this is getting long lol so I'm putting it under a cut

Especially reddit, the people on there honestly I think just get too attached to a specific format or way of doing things, its a common pattern in any long running show fandoms i've been in where its reddit that constantly complains about the "good ol' days" and hate any new changes made. I would sometimes drop in and just see a lot of Scary hate at times, or people getting very irritated with the rule breaking, or just complaining that they're "forcing" the humor. I saw a post like that when i just started s2 and that couldnt have been more incorrect (yeah the piss jokes got a bit much but every other part was golden!...pun not intended)

There were absolutely points where I felt my interest wanning, but I think people would get pretty vicious about it and make a lot of mean spirited accusations. Like if anything the things I really enjoyed about this season was how different it was to s1, the contrast was really nice and i liked a lot of the story choices made, i still think about the apollo four teens and the fucking goof realm episodes, they were amazing. Which is why I remember thinking it was odd that they suddenly started involving the dads from s1 more, but knowing now that Anthony was struggling with people not liking this season as much it makes perfect sense.

Idk if it were just me, but i liked the earlier parts of the season for how the teens were still kind of discovering more about themselves and through gathering each anchor, learning more that their parents are people too, with their own fuck ups revealed and the teens have to clean up after them, so having it shift to be about Willy again was a little odd if i'm being honest(I didnt hate it but a repeat villian is hard to do, and for what its worth i think Willy did get the end he deserved and i loved the finale).

Funnily, in its own way it fits the theme of being a teenager and having to live up to your parents expectations. In a meta sense this being the successor to the first season and it being awkward at points and having issues with its identity is very fitting and just like how teenhood actually is.

I've gotten off topic but my point is fandom is just fandom, and letting it influence the way creators can view their own work is an interesting side effect of the internet and the way we navigate with the media we enjoy or hate. And spaces like reddit are grown in a way to encourage more brutally critical ways of analysing media which has very little consideration for the creator. By no means am I saying that the creators of things should be coddled, heck I literally airing my own annoyances with the podcast in space where i'm uplifting the positivity of tumblr over those spaces lol. I just mean that seeing the more genuine side of the fanbase would be more of a better time for them.

EDIT: (I just phrased things better, fixed the spelling and grammer errors and added more thoughts) The more I ruminate on this the more I think that it would honestly be a good idea. Like I do get the base worry of being too close to the more intense side of the fandom, as people on here are unafraid to gush about the show in ways that can be a little much and theres parasociality and all that jazz.

But it would be really good at least to see some actual genuine positivity, so many people provide their thoughtful meta and theories that even if widely off base are just interesting to read through because of how various different people see themselves in the characters they play. And even the critiques people give are not unkind, they come from a place of wanting to understand the choices made better.

I mentioned this in the old version of this post but having a blacklisted tag that only the people who don't wish their post to be seen by the cast use, something along the lines like how the magnus archives fandom has "do not archive", would be a very useful tool to create a barrier in the fanbase. I know i'm someone who feels very nervous about creators seeing the posts I make. Something like "not safe for dads" could work well or any other joke or pun about it being hidden. I doubt it would be filled with discourse or whatever it would mainly be people hornyposting since i know fandom well enough lol.

This smau, and everything else I’ve written on my blog, is mine and only mine. I work very hard on everything I write so do not, under any circumstances, modify, copy, or steal my work.

Keep in mind that commenting to tell me what you liked, what you don’t, how I can improve, and any suggestions you have helps me A LOT more than simply liking my posts. If you’ve had the time to read through my stuff, how much longer does it take to leave me some feedback on it? 😊

They’re done!!! Done!!!! AHAHAAaaa :)

A redraw series of some drawings I did back in 2016 (which you can see under the cut).

Wow! That’s a lot of improvement, huh? Frankly, the redraws took way longer than they should have. I couldn’t figure out the backgrounds, got burnout on them, and then entered zine hell (never again). I never wanted to abandon them, but I think the excessive break helped me see them in a new light and now they’re something I adore!

Just a reminder: calling Jews "pigs" is "an allusion to the fundamentalist antisemitic slur that Jews are descendants of apes or pigs."

Prefacing it with "zionist," as in, "Fuck you, zionist pig," does not give you plausible deniability.

Real-life examples of its usage, from the Telegram account for Hamas & its associated groups:
