I can't believe that Michael McIntyre's The Wheel is responsible for some of my brainrot resurging

[renewedmotionforjudgment]

Huan Zhu Ge Ge (还珠格格), explained

Vox, don’t sue me for using this title.

Background: the other night, I suddenly had the OST stuck in my head. And I amaze my self by able to somehow sing the entire soundtrack?

Anyways, for those who either grew up in mainland China in the 90s or part the Chinese diaspora, Huan Zhu Ge Ge, princess returning pearl, was probably the OG idol historical. It’s adapted from a Qiong Yao novel. Huge hit across Asia. Influenced a whole generation.

Background plot — Xiao Yan Zi is a street orphan who met a girl named Zi Wei. Zi Wei turned out to be the daughter of Qian Long. Xiao Yan Zi accidentally gets mistaken as Zi Wei, takes on the title of princess, and hijinks ensues.

Tagging @huanzhuyulu for additions.

Anyways, this is Xiao Yan Zi

Perky, spunky, not super smart academically, and with a heart of gold. You know that female lead in idol cdramas these days? Xiao Yan Zi was the prototype. But also, she’s hilarious about Chinese proverbs.

This is Zi Wei

The prototype Ruby Lin character. I found Zi Wei rather corny when I was 7, TBH. Angsty back story involving being the unknown illegitimate daughter of the emperor, and then later getting whumped/tortured repeatedly by the empress.

This is the 5th Prince, Yong Qi

The emperor’s favorite son. The guy you thought would be the next emperor until you read anything about history. Smart and earnest. Xiao Yan Zi’s love interest.

(My first ever OTP!)

This is Fu Er Kang

Qian Long’s bodyguard. Zi Wei’s love interest. Done with Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi’s nonsense since episode 3 of season 1. He and Zi Wei had a lot of angsty moments that 7 years old me definitely was not into.

This is Jin Suo (on the right)

Zi Wei’s maid and BFF. Doubter of Xiao Yan Zi’s antics. Honestly not sure what personality she has other than “Fan Bing Bing is really pretty!”

This is Qian Long

Huang Ah Ma! The drama is Qian Long’s best publicist. Somehow manage to perv on women and threaten to off his kids, and is jovial enough that you spend your childhood going “what a loving father!”

This is Ling Fei

Yes, the same Ling Fei as Wei Yingluo from Yanxi. Super nice and motherly. The reason why my brain could not compute Ruyi for the longest time.

IN SUMMARY:

(Sorry, Er Tai — I don’t have enough GIF space to introduce you. Ditto, Qing Er. )

StEx Appreciation Month Day 3: Greaseball!

🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Face Claim: Nigel Casey (ily Tortiball, but you're too pretty!)

Favourite Song/Scenes: He has some of the catchiest songs in the soundtrack! Pumping Iron (I love the dance break where he does the lifts with the coaches), “You wanna boil with the oil or lose with the fuse?”, One Rock and Roll too Many (the kiss boot!!!), S.O.R.R.R.Y.

Favourite Costumes: Both pompadour and mullet GBs are valid to me! The early 90's London costume with all the chains and studs is really cool. I also like the late 90's London costume with the bright red and yellow accents. But nothing can beat the Broadway costume with full racing armor!

Favourite Ships/Friendships: Greaseball x Electra, Greaseball x Electra x Red Caboose. He considers Coco, CB, and Red Caboose his friends. Brake Van is more of a business partner and the gang aren't really his friends, just his lackeys

Headcanons: He had little interest in Pearl until Electra started making a big fuss about racing with her

Unpopular Opinion: He's more interesting to me as part of a dynamic than as an individual character. Sorry GB lovers :/

🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Bonus Round: Girlball!

Face Claim: Lara Vina Uzcatia

Favourite Song/Scenes: Pumping Iron, “Get out of my way!”, I kind of love her spark gun (I haven't seen the revival so I don't have many favorite moments)

Favourite Costumes: Proto-wig beloved! I actually do like her current wig too but the prototype is reminiscent of OG London Greaseball

Favourite Ships/Friendships: Girlball x Slick, Girlball x Slick x (Revival) Electra

Headcanons: I call her Hot Streak and she's got a slightly different personality than her in-canon counterpart (she can still be a little mean as a treat but she doesn't treat the coaches like trash)

Unpopular Opinion: Greaseball was the worst choice for a random gender-swap and I still stand firmly by this opinion.

🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

[toskarin]

I maintain the reason that there's so much art of fem!gilgamesh (not Angelica, but actual fem!gilgamesh), far more than rule 63 of any other fate character, is bc there's a lot of straight guys out there who don't want to admit they're attracted to gilgamesh so they make him a girl instead

there's actually a more straightforward reason!

to understand why f!gil is so popular, we first have to talk about a now-defunct doujin circle called FAIRIAL and an april fools joke

(my favourite understated joke is how the characters are talking over each other even more than is normal for a PV lol)

FAIRIAL and WAVE were already pretty popular, so when they released Fate/Protoreplica, an april fools joke that was sort of a "remake of Prototype" with elements of Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero, people lost their shit

there were fake CV previews, character designs, bios, and even a full soundtrack later on (which, of course, was the entire point of this. the joke is that protoreplica was fanfic made to promote a soundtrack arrangement album)

but let's pull back a little. how's this relate to female gilgamesh? well,

included in that announcement were two designs for female gilgamesh, complete with voice clips. if you've ever wondered why so much f!gil art features shirou dressed like a catholic priest, it's because it's a protoreplica reference

the design was so popular that a fullbody illustration was requested. naturally, it was provided in the post explaining the joke a few days later

perhaps most importantly to its staying power, someone asked if it was okay to make secondary work inspired by protoreplica, to which FAIRIAL responded "lol yeah we don't own fate anyway, so we have no claim over this"

a couple female gilgamesh designs had already been floating around for a while before this, but after protoreplica, the name 姫ギル (himegil, or princess gilgamesh) became so synonymous with the one from protoreplica that the pixiv tag translation still specifies it to this day

so the real reason that f!gil is so popular is that she's a meme who caught on early enough to cement herself in fandom memory pre-FGO

[thenightling]

For a few years now I have seen news sites take seriously the "Hot Take" that Nightmare before Christmas is "about cultural appropriation" and "Why you shouldn't try to appropriate a culture you don't fully understand. This theory kind of ignores that the soundtrack has a closing audio that indicates that Santa had come to like Halloween and now both holidays had a little of the other in it. Not only that but when Tim Burton has been asked about this interpretation he usually just shrugs and says "No, I just got the idea when I saw a store window changing over it's Halloween display to Christmas." Remember, the story did exist before the film. Tim Burton's poem was not just three or four lines, it's an entire story that was published as a children's book with illustrations.

"Or perhaps it's really not as deep as I've been lead to think." - Jack Skellington in Nightmare before Christmas. Anyway, what am I building up to? Well, in 2011 Tim Burton and Danny Elfman released a special, actual music box (far out of my own price range) that contained a small flash drive containing folders of every single song Danny Elfman had ever composed for Tim Burton, including unreleased songs. This song here is "This Time." It's a rare, unreleased song from Nightmare before Christmas. I view it as an early prototype of what would become "Making Christmas." There is a high chance that this song was originally intended to be the end credits song for the movie but Disney nixed it. It has more of a rock edge than other songs used in Nightmare before Christmas.

PS. Yes, I know Henry Selick directed Nightmare before Christmas. You REALLY don't have to tell people any time anyone acknowledges that Tim Burton wrote the poem / short story that became the film.

Note: This is called "This TIme." Not to be confused with "In Time" which is a more recent and officially released Danny Elfman song. Now, here is the unused Nightmare before Christmas song.

[astrovvitches]

i made a game / interactive fiction!😎(happy april fools but this is actually not a joke)

for the holiday, i'm releasing the prototype for "stargazer", a f2p interactive fiction about a knight in a castle.

🎵 @itscoffeerun big props to my friend coffee for making an amazing soundtrack for me! although it's not implemented in the current build, i'm super excited to have it included in a future update! please check out his amazing work 🙇‍♂️

[sincerelystesichorus]

trans joy rant for the timeline or whatever

i don't really have anywhere else to put these thoughts and my cis friends just don't really get it and neither do my enbies because they're not medically transitioning and yeah

i've been on T for 10 months now!!

and the most grating part of my dysphoria beforehand was my voice. i have no words to describe my voice beforehand other than,, if the dysphoria didn't zap my brain every time i talked and practiced, i could've made a great gig as the next disney princess.

i've done classical singing my entire life. i was a mezzo soprano forcing myself to be an alto and chronically wishing i could be a tenor. i've never felt more jealousy in my life than when i was 16 and a girl in my choir was a contratenor. i would listen to the aladdin and little shop of horror soundtracks and just hold back tears sometimes before i was out to even myself. i just did not understand the gender envy i was experiencing from male singing. it felt like something was missing and i spent so much of my singing career wondering why i couldn't just get ahold of my voice. it's because i couldn't stand the sound of it no matter how polished it was. i still can't listen back to old clips of me talking, nonetheless singing. it's crazy because my voice has only been dropped for a few months but i can't imagine it any other way than the 2014 justin bieber prototype it's fell into. i love it.

i hope to get to a point i can be comfortable with my old voice, but the point of this post: my new voice is my favorite thing about myself. i genuinely love to hear myself talk. vocal training doesn't feel disheartening anymore. i'm a tenor now!!!!!

and even more exciting,, i just extended the bottom of my range by two notes. when fully warmed up, i can now hit down to A2 pretty consistently, it just needs work!! i am now the countratenor i was so envious over. it gets better.

With the steam release of Dwarf Fortress coming, I’ve made a round-up of threads and stories over the years.

In general, most images are broken because some of these are ten, almost fifteen years old. Also worth noting that forum posters tend to refer to all dwarves as male, regardless of gender. This often extends to adventurer mode (even though one can adventure as nearly anything). This gets confusing at times.

[maybellewheelerfan]

Wheeler skin ideas

Guest of Honor Straight up just Warbucks’s outfit. Was looking at poacher outfits for triumphant before changing it and looked at Warbucks and was like, yeah. He is a rich British explorer, wearing the fashion of the day. It’s still explorer themed and an homage to the character she replaced (though not a good one).

Survivor Like the others, just Wheeler but scratched up, I imagine with cut hair and her pants cut into shorts or something. With those big pads they can’t be able to stay on through such conditions.

Triumphant I was going for a poacher, like a rich British explorer but after thinking how it worked with her personality, seems best to do something else. A fighter pilot fits better with her gung ho personality. Somebody said she would be a biker but Winona already has a biker girl outfit. So at least a full body pilots suit would be both menacing and in character. And give her a evil mustache to twirl, for extra measure.

Halloween skins all the survivors have two Halloween skins, a mob from the game and a classic kind of costume. For the mob, she would be a catcoon, badabing badaboom, she loved cats. Or a hound/varg. Kind of like Warly’s carrat outfit, she don’t like dog 😔. And for the more classic costume I would go with a cowboy! She would relate to the cowboys need for exploring the new land and I think she would enjoy the role of a sheriff.

Gladiator more wishy washy because of how general the skins are so just throwing ideas to the wall. Half of her hair shaved off, like Winona’s but just half. Unsure what her face paint would be, would mostly be through doing different patterns and see what works. Her armor would be very light, to match with her health, like mostly covering her upper body and a skirt. I don’t know man :( was thinking the over sexual woman’s armor traditionally in games because there is WAY too much boob armor.

Roseate For this, I would have her in a dress (mostly for the femme x butch thing with Winona, just a bit silly). I have been listening to the great gatsby soundtrack on repeat so I would so some sort of 1920s dress based on the night life. Come on, she’s adventurous! Of course she would be at these parties! Someone who goes places has to enjoy them.

Snowfallen She would be an explorer… of the poles! I’m a big puffy jacket with a fluffy collar that goes around her head (hats ontop) with thick gloves. Her quote would be like, “Surprisingly not as insulated as it looks.” Or something about how she’s still freezing under all those layers.

Verdant More unsure about this, like what nature role she would take. Perhaps an adventure captured by the beauty of nature. Would personally make her look more exotic, to fit with the adventure theme.

Victorian COMPLETELY STEALING THIS FROM kittemfang they reminded me I needed to do this because they posted an amazing plane tester Victorian Wheeler concept, a wanna be aviator testing the prototypes. BASICLY that. Any adventure outfit would look to similar to her current design.

Magmatic like the gladiator, unsure. Plus, IF Wheeler was in the game, doubt they would make any new skins of these sets. Like the others, firey hair with a basic outfit, really not many ideas for this.

Merrymaker Santa. Joking but her ass WOULD get in a full Santa outfit for the kids. Hard to pin down something I’m happy with and I’m too tired to think. It’s a general jolly theme, I’ll edit this if I think of anything.

Moonbound Something like a faux astronaut suit would be fun. She would get to explore a new plane :)

Masquerader Also haven’t looked at specific examples but I would go with a bird theme. All of her bird quotes are somber, about how she wishes to fly.

Other skin ideas Two that are really loose single skin ideas are an Indiana jones outfit. Very basic but very classic outfit for an adventurous character! Second is a commercial airline pilot. Just unique enough from the others to work, but would be a bit off timeline wise but it’s for the funsies. Also it would be cute if there was a flight attendant Walter outfit. The kid trying to help the cool adventurer :)

I’m on a trip right now so this is incoherent, but wanted to get some ideas down. I’ll draw them once I get back and will edit these as see fit.

Also would love to see others feedback and ideas!

[stevewarlock]

OCKET!!!!!!!

send me a character and i’ll list:

favorite thing about them

The way he cares about others. Rocket puts up a lot of fronts to avoid seeming like he gives a shit, but he really deeply feels love for his friends and even people he doesn't know. Stuff like him comforting Quill after their first mission in the comics, or when he demands a homeless man be fed during Grounded. He's seldom nice about how he acts compassionately, but he's good about not letting anyone he empathizes with be treated unfairly, even by themselves.

least favorite thing about them

More of a writing thing but I hate when he's an idiot for the sake of being a jerk. I'm fine with him being an asshole as long as he has some sort of reason, whether its vehemently disagreeing with a friend or his own self-destructive tendencies, but I hate when writers make him do stupid things as part of said assholery, like he's some gremlin who needs constant reminders not to murder people he needs information from or to not blow things up on a stealth mission.

favorite line

"Same here buddy. End of the galaxy and back." always kills me.

brOTP

Groot and/or Quill! They both have such great dynamics with him and vice versa, and I hope they get more good writing like DnA and Ewing gave them.

OTP

Torn between Lylla and Blackjack but honestly there's so little of both characters :(

nOTP

Otta Spice, IG? Idk she sucks.

random headcanon

This is kind of a "GotG in general" HC, but I think they watch Terran movies for movie night. Rocket normally makes snide comments throughout (he's not the only one! Drax asks a ton of questions and Gamora points out dumb shit too) but when they watched Lilo and Stitch he just sat there in silence for 85 minutes and was never the same again.

unpopular opinion

I know MCU synergy is every cosmic marvel fan's worst enemy but they might as well make his movie backstory canon atp. It's not like they've committed to any other origin story for him so they may as well tie it to the High Evolutionary as a prototype for Counter Earth. Halfworld could easily be retconned into a planet he used for experiments and it'd be better than leaving his past as ill-defined as it is now.

song i associate with them

So many from the GotG soundtracks but Dog Days Are Over is just too good to not pick.

favorite picture of them

I'm sorry it's a gif but I couldn't find the right frame!

Jaws (1975, Steven Spielberg)

12/03/2024

Jaws is a 1975 film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel of the same name by Peter Benchley. It tells the story of a great white shark that kills swimmers on Amity Island, prompting the local police chief to try to kill it with the help of a marine biologist and a shark hunter. The film stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as oceanographer Matt Hooper, Robert Shaw as shart hunter Quint, Murray Hamilton as the mayor of Amity Island and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife Ellen. The screenplay is credited to both Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the screenplay during production.

Filmed mostly on location on Martha's Vineyard, Jaws was the first major motion picture shot offshore and, as a result, had a troubled production, exceeding its budget and schedule. Because the mechanical sharks created by the art department malfunctioned, Spielberg decided, in many scenes, to merely suggest the shark's presence, employing a menacing theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its approach.

Jaws was the prototype of the summer blockbuster and is considered a watershed in the history of cinema. Its release was considered a turning point in the history of cinema and the advent of the New Hollywood.

The film was released in US theaters on June 20, 1975. Generally well received by critics, Jaws became the highest-grossing film in history, and remained so until the release of Star Wars (1977). It won three Oscars for editing, sound and soundtrack for John Williams, as well as consecrating the fame of Steven Spielberg, then a little-known director aged just 28, and is often cited as one of the best films of all time. It was followed by three sequels, none of which featured Spielberg or Benchley, and many knockoff thrillers.

In 1998 the American Film Institute placed it in forty-eight place in the list of the 100 best American films of all time, while in 2007 it dropped to fifty-sixth place. In 2001, Jaws was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, being considered "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

In the seaside town of Amity Island (New England), a young woman leaves a late-night beach party to go for a swim, but while out at sea she is viciously attacked and dragged underwater by something. After the medical examiner concludes that it may be a shark attack, newly hired police chief Martin Brody wants to close the beaches, but Mayor Larry Vaughn convinces him to reconsider, fearing that the town's summer economy will suffer.
