masterlist

johnny >

• have you guys LMAO have you guys seen the. DLGHSDKJ the episode of bojack horseman where bojack gives diane the D in from the hollywood sign?? johnny is SO extra like that and for WHAT.

• OR YOU GUYS KNOW WHEN TODDLERS LIKE REALLY WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING AND THEY JUST KEEP SAYING "LOOKIT" LMFAFOIFMOA

• "reader, reader are you watching - reader, reader watch -" as he's like about to absolutely FUCK UP a nerds rope or some stupid shit

• okay i'll be fr. johnny is by far the most concerningly extra of the entire group. he will put himself in stupid danger just to impress you.

• "watch me take on all these guys at once!" he'll call out to you during your time at the academy, surrounded by a dozen monks. he's in a sling and bandages the next day.

• "kenshi, i bet you sento that i can jump from the roof like bi-han did!" BAM.

• he'd randomly give you expensive gifts out of absolutely nowhere. or he'd give his one of many glasses away to you because he "has no use for them" or they're "out of style" (he's lying, he just wants to see you wear something that's his).

• oh? you briefly mention you're a tad chilly during training? oh no, johnny's top fell off, i guess he has to give it to you now. you know, to stay warm. oh, you don't want his top? okay, here's a comically fluffy, expensive coat! and it just so happens to be your size...!

• lowkey i headcanon johnny as, despite being an actor, pretty blushy if someone matches his energy or really gets under his skin. you'll pass by him with a witty comment about his fighting style, or even just to tell him he cleaned up nice after getting his ass kicked by raiden. johnny just stands there with steam spitting from his red ears, hand on his chest as he fights a stupid grin.

• he is down ASTRONOMICALLY. not even the elder gods can stop this man from being so drunk in love when you're around. he makes it everyone's problem.

raiden >

• we see how flustered he gets when he's called out by kitana. he's a grown man with dick and balls but he's also flustered very easily! he'll be decently vocal about his affection for you, but then word trickles down to your ear, at which point it's so over for him.

• walks into walls when he's so entranced by you training. like face first into a wall, his hat fluttering to the ground. kung lao loses it.

• he can't even hear what you're saying when you speak to him, it sounds like an angel muffled by the clouds of heaven. raiden's also not the greatest with his powers granted by the amulet. if you go in to touch his arm playfully, a jolt of electricity pricks your palm and you yelp. raiden can only sputter apologies as he bows down, his cheeks tinted.

• he's the type to do little favors for you, ones you barely notice. your spot at the table is tidied, the training dummy is prepped for your fighting style, or he's the first one to bring you something if you forget it. that, and tiny favors to butter you up to him.

• "reader, you said you were nauseous last training. i prepared you some tea," he'd slide the small cup over to you, fighting a goofy smile. he rehearsed his script a few times, so he sounded more static than intended.

• will ask you questions about training or the weather just to hear your voice. he couldn't even recall what you were saying, he just loved the way your lips moved.

• kung lao pokes at him for this often, nudging him or making comments about you being his partner when you're not. raiden will stomp on his foot to keep him from talking about his infatuation if you're around. as if you don't already know.

kung lao >

• he's totally the bouncing on his heels type of man. he'll stare at you with a stupid grin, like a kid in a candy store.

• "was there something you needed, kung lao?" you'd ask as you tended to your own duties, organizing various equipment into baskets.

• "ah, no, not at all," he'd wave you off with a grin. "just enjoying... the view."

• you cringe at his words, chuckling to yourself as he speaks you in a daze. his mouth runs off before his brain can stop it from happening, so his biggest downfall with his crush is yapping. he'll sit there and explain his family history to you, or how much he hated farming cabbage, or his favorite meal at madam bo's just to keep you around long enough.

• kung lao always has this desire to keep you close by, so he continuously does stupid shit to keep you by his side. including but not limited to accidentally slicing his hands on his hat, one that he swore was a genius idea. in concept, probably.

• he wants to impress you so bad. SO BAD. anything he does is deserving of a bragging right if he's the one to do it. lao would totally try to shrug it off so you could gas him up more. any compliment, forced or not, was music to his ears.

• "yeah, i totally beat raiden," he'll check his nails nonchalantly as he leans against the wall, telling you the story of the cabbage competition for dinner against his best friend. "really swept him."

• "that's just not true," raiden would try to interject when he heard lao's version of the story. kung lao just holds eye contact with you, grinning, as he shoves raiden aside by his face.

syzoth >

• im sorry IM SORRY BUT I JUST LOVE THE HC THAT HIS TAIL WAGS I KNOW THATS NOT HOW THAT WORKS JUST- JUST BEAR WITH ME.

• you hear thumping when you're around, though you're never able to find out where it's coming from, so you chalk it up to the monks landing blows against the wooden dummies.

• but the sound lingers when you're at dinner. the table is... rattling.

• you look up to see if anyone else notices or if you were hit too hard during training. but, you see everyone staring past you. just down the table, syzoth is sitting with a pile of bugs on his plate, his tail thumping in and out of view.

• "syzoth," kenshi will gently say, leaning into his ear to whisper something. syzoth flushes a green tint and tries to resume to his meal, the bugs scurrying out of his chopsticks as he struggles to keep it together.

• out of respect for his dignity, you hold your tongue at his obvious affection. syzoth tries to keep it under wraps but he can't help it when you're just so cute!

• he'll stand close by you, inching closer and closer until you notice. he'll slip you little trinkets and flora with a small smile. anything from a rock that matches the shades of your eye, to a flower he picked by the gardens, to a stick. a nice stick, to be fair! you wonder if this is zaterran courtship.

• "it reminded me of you," he'd lean into your ear. your bedside table is decorated with various... outside decor.

BONUS! kitana >

• kitana knew she couldn't get entangled with the umgadi after seeing how risky mileena is with tanya, but my god were you breathtaking.

• you would often accompany her in the carriages as she waved to her people, eyes transfixed on her. you're devoted to her protection. it is your god-given duty. your eye contact was too much at times, and kitana would often catch herself staring at you, her hand suspended in the air. she'd forget to wave.

• "is everything alright, my princess?" you would ask innocently, in a low tone to avoid raising suspicion. kitana's mind short circuits when you call her... yours. even if you're referring to the umgadi's worship. she shakes her head and clears her throat, pulling her mask up higher to conceal her blush.

• if she were to give speeches on her mother's behalf or otherwise, she'd find herself forgetting what the rehearsed, or hell, struggling to rehearse. you were the one she'd come to for help with speeches, yet you made things ten times harder when you'd lean in to listen to her better. it makes her mind absolutely numb.

• "and you tell me to steer away from the umgadi," mileena would rasp into her ear as the sister sat on their thrones, you positioned by her side and eyes forward. "it seems you picked a favorite, sister."

• "i'm not the only guilty one," she'd hiss back to her sister, nodding at tanya. "it won't get in the way of duties, as long as mother doesn't know."

• you'd fight to netherrealm and back for your princess. as you fight off intruders or threats, kitana forgets to escape, instead transfixed on the way your muscles would contract and flex with each blow.

• she wants to be the one to care for your wounds. the power imbalance means nothing to her, you're her equal.

grelle sutcliffe smut hcs ; 18+

requested by ; nobody / self indulgent

fandom(s) ; black butler

fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific

character(s) ; grelle sutcliffe

outline ; “smut hcs for grelle”

warning(s) ; sexually explicit content, switch!grelle sutcliffe, role play, size kink, lingerie kink, marking kink, blood play, knife play, praise kink, body writing, dumbification, overstimulation

minors and ageless blogs will be blocked

though she usually defaults to the role of a bratty (and, naturally, terribly dramatic) submissive, grelle is a switch and is more than capable of being her partner’s domme if they want/need her to be for whatever reason — e.g. being inexperienced and needing guidance, being a complete submissive and unable to take on a dominant role regardless of mood, or being another switch that’s been sent into sub-space for one reason or another

an actress at her heart, grelle has a massive thing for role play and can get remarkably theatric about it if you let her — full scripts, handmade costumes, designated roles, a plot that leaves you on the edge of your seat until the end, the whole nine yards really — but if you’re more in the mood for something more simplistic and straight to the point (e.g. you convincing her not to reap your soul through ‘unorthodox’ means, or something about university and wanting a better grade) she’ll still oblige you and thoroughly enjoy herself every step of the way… even if she does initially huff and puff and complain about the lack of drama and wit involved in her ‘role’

she generally prefers to bottom and is an absolute size queen that’s eager to take the biggest thing you’ve got — and let it be known that she will bitch and moan and brat out if you try and stick to anything smaller for foreplay or a quickie (so, for example, finger fucking her before she leaves for work in the morning will get her off in the moment, sure, but it will also leave her frustrated and snappy all day as she can’t wait to get home to you and that something bigger she’s anticipating being stuffed with later on)

she’s extremely vocal in the bedroom, talking and teasing and goading until she’s too far gone to speak and even then continuing to make her feelings known through moans and groans and sighs that send new waves of heat straight to your core — naturally she’s much more flirty and coherent during foreplay, when she’s still able to think about more than just how good she feels, but it’s easy enough to shut her up completely just by kissing her or by sending her into sub-space early on (which can be done through rougher play like hair pulling and scratching combined with vocal praise, like calling her your ‘good girl’ for example)

a guarenteed way to get grelle hot under the collar and itching to drag you off somewhere private is to take advantage of her kinks for lingerie and marking you up — so if you go to kiss her goodbye before her workday begins while wearing some sort of (preferably red) lingerie that shows off all of the pretty marks she left behind on your body then it’s either going to be a very long farewell or she’s just going to end up skipping work all together that day (or at least until william catches on and comes to drag her back to dispatch)

her marking kink is very mutual and if she happens to notice any marks you left behind after a night of passion, she’s going to get a bit red in the face and adjust her outfit as much as she can to show them off (bonus points if the mark happens to be a lipstick stain or a hickey on her throat or jawline)

her role as a reaper and her past as a serial killer alongside madam red have given her an unparalleled confidence and competence when it comes to using any sort of knife or blade in the bedroom — this means that she’s up for pretty much anything whether that’s just cutting to draw blood for the sake of it (which is another thing she enjoys, whether that blood happens to be on you, on her, on you both, or whatever), or one of you cutting the other in order to leave a visible mark and claim on them

she absolutely lives for your praise and if you ever want her to be on her best behaviour for you then the quickest way to go about it is to whisper sweet nothings into her ear as you play with her hair, alternating between showering her with compliments and lamenting about how you wish she’d be ‘good’ for you because only ‘good girls’ get rewards and you want nothing more than to spend the night buried between her thighs… — in short, flattery gets you everywhere when it comes to grelle

if you ever proposed body writing to her, grelle would definitely be up for giving it a go, covering your body in little notes that range from long-winded love letters so sweet that they’d make anyone swoon to claims of ownership, to little messages about what she loves to do to you — so, for example, you’re equally as likely to wake up the next day and find a cursive ‘my darling <3’ written over your heart or on your stomach as you are to find something like ‘mine’ scrawled desperately onto your ass or just above your sex at the apex of your thighs (also surrounded by little hearts)

on the rare occasion where she’s in the mood to top she enjoys fucking you until you’re too far gone and cock drunk to do anything other than be her moaning messy little play thing until she’s had her fill of you — bonus points if you start sobbing through your orgasms from overstimulation and, for an afab partner, if you squirt when she’s pleasuring you

she has both an exhibitionist and a voyeuristic streak so she has no qualms with putting on a show for you or with watching you get off for her — for similar reasons, in a more modern setting she’d probably be down for exchanging nudes with you or just having phone sex with you in general

when having sex, grelle usually prefers to bottom for you in missionary or to ride you/your strap in either the cowgirl or the reverse cowgirl position (if she’s feeling particularly dominant) — when topping she usually sticks to the same positions, but she will occasionally branch out into the mating press if she’s really in the moment and wants to absolutely ruin you

₊ ⊹ Mauser's list of cat breeds!

Below the cut are cat breeds you can script you have in your DR, including some general info and their pros and cons.

★ Domestic shorthair.

Domestic shorthairs aren't actually a breed, the term rather referring to any short-furred cat with mixed ancestry. They have a very varied appearance, coat colors ranging from brown, orange, cream, grey, black and mixed colors as well as a large variety of eye colors.

Pros! - Low-maintenance grooming. A short coat means it's easy to maintain. - Generally healthy. Their mixed genes result in fewer breed-specific health issues. - They're really adaptable!

Cons! - Because domestic shorthair's aren't a defined breed, they have a wide range of personality traits that can vary a lot. This also includes negative ones. - They're not hypoallergenic and produce allergens and dander.

★ Siamese.

A very popular cat breed from Thailand known for their color point markings and blue eyes.

Pros! - Siamese cats are very affectionate & loyal to their owners and love snuggling. - Intelligent! This breed is well-known for being very smart, being able to learn tricks and commands. - As a bonus, they're a very pretty breed.

Cons! - This is a very vocal breed, often expressive with a lot of meowing. - Prone to dental & respatory problems. - Attention-demanding.

★ Maine Coon.

A huge cat breed from the US which is mainly known for their impressive size (8-16 inches/20.32-40.64 cm) and long fur with tufted ears. By breed standard there are 75+ recognized coat colors they can have!

Pros! - Despite their size and imposing appearance, maine coon cats are very friendly and do great with children and other pets. - Very playful and energetic breed.

Cons! - Thick fur tangles easily and they need regular grooming. - Prone to hip dysplasia and HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). - They need more food & litter on average because of their size.

★ Ragdoll.

Ragdolls are large, affectionate cats known for their calm demeanor and tendency to go limp when picked up (hence the name!). They originate from California and are a relatively "new" breed, only first appearing in the 1960s.

Pros! - Often called dog-like because they're really affectionate and follow their owners around. They're also very laid-back and, like maine coons, work well with families.

Cons! - With their trusting nature, ragdolls kind of lack survival skills and are best kept indoors at all times. - Prone to bladder stones and HCM. - Their fur requires regular brushing.

★ Abyssinian.

In my humble opinion, a stunning cat breed from South-East Asia with red fur and amber or greenish eyes.

Pros! - With short fur only minimal grooming is required. - Highly playful! They enjoy climbing and playing.

Cons! - Because of their high energy they need a lot of stimulation. - Not very snuggly & a little mischievous, abyssinians might get into things they shouldn't.

this might've been an excuse to talk about cats for a minute... will probably be doing a part two and/or a dog version.

Hello, I know you probably busy right now but when you get a chance do you mind translating this expert from this interview?https://www.famitsu.com/news/201807/22161115.html I think it's about whats happing in the after octo bonus track ――『オクトチューン』に収録された『Bonus Track』の会話イメージを、ざっくりと教えていただけますか？

山本　『オクト・エキスパンション』のエンディングから数日後、ヒメの家にあるスタジオでの楽曲制作の様子です。ボーカル収録中にイイダの携帯にアタリメから連絡が来て……という内容です。どんなやり取りをしているかは想像してみてください。

　サウンドだけでなく、ボイスにまで細やかなこだわり！　ぜひ『オクトチューン』を持っている方は、改めて上記のこだわりを意識しながら聴いてほしい。そして、3日連続『スプラトゥーン』インタビューの最後を締めるのは、ハイカライブのアレンジを手掛けた大山徹也氏。ハイカライブの楽曲はもちろんのこと、『スプラトゥーン』楽曲のアレンジへの意識、Wet Floor Shibuyaのお話も聞いちゃいます！　こちらもお楽しみに。また、以前のインタビューを読んでいない方は、下の記事もぜひ！

I've definitely seen people asking about what's going on in the bonus track of octotune, but I didn't remember there being much of an answer given...

--Could you give us a rough idea of what's happening in the Bonus Track included in Octotune? Yamamoto [Member of Splatoon 2's sound team]: It's set a few days after the end of Octo Expansion, and Off the Hook is working on a song at the studio in Pearl's house. In the midst of recording vocals, Marina gets a message on her phone from Cap'n Cuttlefish and...it's something like that. What kind of exchange they're having is something I'd like to leave to your imagination. (End of interview. the last paragraph is from the author of the article)

Yeah it's not too specific of an answer and much of that (aside from maybe the exact timing and location of the bonus track) could be inferred from listening to the track. I think it would be awesome if there was a script of what's being said exactly in the bonus track, but alas...

[creepricot]

talk about your five favourite headcanons for any/all of the papas and/or ships, i wanna hear u YAP m'lord go off

oh have i got Headcanons... this ended up turning more into larger emeritus lore and world building lol, but i have been ITCHING to talk about these

primo's 13 incher being explained by him having a phallo cock. he underwent surgery quite late in life; he just reached a point of thinking "well, i've survived this long, i deserve something fun", and so. he just had fun with it. he would 100% love to casually show it off and talk about it. this is probably my fav headcanon, straight up

not papa-related, but the ghouls do not have physical forms (at least on this earthly plane). rather, they appear as smokey/hazy spirits that can only make themselves known by possessing objects. they do not speak any language humans could understand and most likely never will, but they can produce enough of a melody to pass their noises off as background vocals. it would be better shown through era 1 + 2 ghoul outfits since they have a more draping shape, but if you took off those masks, there'd be nothing underneath it to greet you.

the only reason that copia is able to see the ghosts of his parents is due to that signature white emeritus eye. it's genetic and passed along through their bloodline, and nobody without it is able to sense them (or any other emeritus ghosts, for that matter). don't ask me about the logistics of how it began with sister punching nihil that one time, we don't think about canon here.

with that being said, i much prefer the idea of the emeritus bloodline being something that has spanned for hundreds of years, traditions passing down from papa to papa; they still inhabit and maintain the original castle that the first papa had lived and died in.

the role of being a papa is not something that anyone really wants. it's something that is mainly passed down as a rite of passage, something that they know they are destined for and must take on eventually. as devoted as the papas are to their faith, it only dawns on them after they've already began their papacy that this is only a means of the ministry using them. they are not the ones in control-- they sing songs they did not write and recite scripts they do not fully mean -- and rather, they are being used as the minsitry's puppets to further their goal of worldwide satanic subjugation. while the papas do get to reap the benefits of fame and living expensive, lavish lifestyles during their papacy, at the end of the day, they are ultimately only a mouthpiece for the ministry's messaging, and the very second a papa begins to stray from what the ministry wants and is unable to achieve what was set out from them, they lose the position, are discarded, and replaced with the next best kin. and of course, the money they accumulated was never theirs -- it belonged to the ministry. so its not like they can pack up and move and continue this solo. they only stick by the ministry out of necessity, as they have their entire lives. it's all they've known, anyway.

bonus hc, but sexual deviations are not looked down upon. how one chooses to explore and express themselves through their body is seen as a unique choice, something that is praised. in fact, it's actively celebrated when a child reaches puberty and begins to masturbate and take interest in sex. sex is seen as something without moral weight to it; it's seen as a way of social connection, as a way of learning things about yourself with the presence of others. sex can be as casual as a conversation, or it can be as intense as a proclamation of love. it's not shameful or embarrassing to have sexual desires, no matter how "out there" they may be-- so long as everyone involved consents to it. this is why incest is not necessarily looked down upon either, depending on how far it goes.

bonus bonus hc, but i personally do not really like the gardener primo idea. if we Have to go by "old man activities", i think he would be more of a bookworm, or a record collector, or both. he does not strike me as a man that would spend much time engaging with nature for a love of nature; he prefers to be hidden away, surrounded by piles of texts, left to his own devices in the dark comfort of his home.

It’s interesting how much more vocally upset/judgmental cast members, crew, and news articles have been about Walker’s cancellation compared to TW’s. Plus, this is yet another article calling Jared the face of CW

And they used Jared's face for the main picture. Time stamp 28:00 Bonus the reporters dissed Gotham Knights lol. (link in the picture)

The Winchesters had poor ratings (live and streaming) and didn't have positive engagements, so their cancellation was of no surprise and of little consequence.

Walker is the #1 scripted show and does well internationally and on streaming, so their cancellation was a true sign that the old CW (the one that ushered so many new writers and showrunners into the tv ecosystem) was truly gone.

Even though it was popular to dunk on the CW shows, people immediately asked who will take place of the old CW and the answer is, no one, and that's a real loss. There's a reason why the shows from the old CW were among the highest streamed shows because people love their YA dramas.

Constructive criticism: Raya and Wish (2023)

Ah yes, Raya and the last Dragon and Wish... and a bonus

Raya and the last Dragon

Taking place in the fictional country of Kumandra, based on Southeast Asian culture, the movie follows the warrior princess Raya as she seek the fabled last dragon to save her father and the land of Kumandra from evil spirits that are known as Druun.

Critics gave the film positive reviews; some critics praised the imagery and depth but criticized the limited Southeast Asian representation.

The movie is very good on a technical level, Visually impressive, fun characters and the story is good... until the third act.

It`s message doesn`t really fit into it`s narrative. It tries to fit a square shaped peg into a round hole.

If I could wish upon a star that I could travel back in time and do some changes to the script I would like to make one small change.

Namaari giving her "This is just as much your fault" speech and Raya acting as if she`s right

The biggest downside in this scene is Raya`s reaction to what Namaari says, looking at her own reflection in her sword as if to say: "My god, what have I become?"

How I would do it: Raya and Namaari fight. Raya gets the upperhand, disarms Namaari and is about to strike the final blow... but then she looks at what`s happening around them, the city is falling apart, killing Namaari is not gonna solve this. She drops her sword.

Raya: "My original plan was to steal the gem. It was Sisu who convinced me to talk to you. She believed in you. And for a moment... so did I."

Then she leaves to save what still can be saved of the people of Fang.

Namaari looks at her own reflection in one of her twin swords and has a "My god, what have I become?" moment.

I guess I could stop here, but I want to change one more scene.

Raya giving her gem piece to Namaari

In the scene where they are all in the pit trying to fight the druuns with their gem pieces and Raya realizes that they have to put the pieces together, it would be better if Namaari gave her piece to Raya before she gives her piece to Namaari.

Namaari would then step backwards and let the Druun take her. The others would then give their pieces to Raya, stand next to Namaari and be turned to stone. Raya tries to put the gem back together, nothing happens, she places herself between Namaari and the others (Tong, Boun, Little Noi and the Ongis), puts a hand on Tong`s arm and a hand on Namaari`s shoulder as if to form a bridge between the two. (Symbolism!)

Then the dragongem starts working, everyone gets unstoned, the dragons return, Kumandra is united and everyone`s happy.

The end.

Yes, I know. Raya needed to learn how to trust, but Namaari needed to show that she could be trusted.

Wish (2023)

Disney (the company that owns your childhood) was turning 100 years old and decided to give itself a big pat on the back by making an animated movie that would celebrate it`s legacy.

The film received mixed reviews, with praise directed towards the vocal performances, the animation and references to the wider Disney canon, but criticism levelled at the plotting, songs, and screenplay.

People were disappointed in Wish because it was supposed to be a milestone, the movie made to celebrate that the Disney animation studio has been around for 100 years! It just couldn`t live up to the hype. But if you take all the hype and great expectations out of the equation and just view it, not as this BIG thing it was intended to be, but just as the movie it is, it`s... just OK.

Later when the art book of the movie came out and people saw what could have been, many youtubers decided to do what I have been doing since 2015, and do a little constructive criticism of their own. With so many rewrites of Wish popping up on the internet and my own history of playing script doctor, it only seems logical that I too throw my hat in the ring and submit my own Wish rewrite.

So... if I had a fairy godmother who could Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo me back in time to when this movie was written, this is what I would change.

People willingly giving their wishes to Magnifico

It would have been better if Magnifico took peoples wishes from them without their knowledge. It would have made him a better villain. He could take peoples wishes when they are asleep.

Asha

I`d dial down her quirkiness a little. Personalitywise she could be an ambitious overachiever, a mix between Hermoine and Tiana, with an adorkable side.

Valentino

Does everything he says have to be something comical? I like jokes but not all of them landed. It was like his funniness was mandated. Dial down the number of jokes.

Some of the songs

It`s not that the songs are bad per se, some of them just don`t fit into the scenes where they are used, like "At all cost".

They should either have :

A: Given Julia Michaels more time and let her be more involved in the production. (Howard Ashman was very involved in the making of The Little Mermaid.)

or

B: Hired people experienced in musicals. Maybe the people who wrote the songs for Wicked, Hadestown or Hazbin Hotel?

Magnifico needing a book to be evil

The biggest problem this movie has is that it couldn`t decide if Magnifico should be a redeemable, three dimensional antagonist or a classic Disney Villain, so it did both and the results were underwhelming.

I would have made him a twist villain, but instead of waiting for the third act I would reveal it near the end of the first. He would be a charismatic leader, great at fooling people that he has their best interests at heart. In the end, his paranoia would get the better of him.

To Starboy or not to Starboy, that is the question.

At first I wasn`t gonna bother with the whole Starboy thing since it`s not really an issue. The movie`s biggest problem lies in how they wrote King Magnifico. However, a while ago I saw a video on youtube by ColeyDoesThings who talked about what the movie could have been if they had gone the Starboy route, and she made some compelling arguments. So for this rewrite I`ve decided to go with the Starboy idea.

Starboy`s personality could be a lot like Aladdin, a little bit like Peter Pan with a pinch of Ariel. (Why Ariel? Because similar to her, he wants to be where the people are, he wants to see, wants to see 'em dancin'. You know, all that stuff.) He would be a bit of a contrast to Asha.

I did not change Star becase I thought it was necessary, but because I thought it sounded interesting.

I would also make Hal and Bazeema gay and have them kiss eachother in the end.

Plot

Asha prepares to interview for the job of Magnifico's apprentice on the day of her grandfather Sabino's 100th birthday.

When Asha is around, her mother and Saba put on a happy face for her, when she leaves they become a bit apathetic. This is something that many people in Rosas over the age of 18 (who have had their wishes taken) do.

She leads tourists through the town as she sings about what an amazing place it is and what an awesome king they have in "Welcome to Rosas". She rehearses for her job interview with her friends,

There are three wishes that the king refuses to grant:

Wishes about killing people.

Wishes about making someone fall in in love with someone else.

Wishes about bringing people back from the dead.

If you wish to become a magician you`ll have to become the king`s apprentice (and you don`t have to be 18.)

Queen Amaya shows up and takes Asha to Magnifico. At first it goes a little shaky because she`s nervous but then it goes well and Magnifico thinks she is worthy to be his apprentice.

They sing a duet, but not "At all cost". It is a song about optimism and ambition, about what a great student/mentor team they`ll make. The chorus could go:

Magnifico: "With you as my student!"

Asha: "With you as my guide!"

Both: "Great things will happen with you by my side!"

Something like that.

The interview is over and Asha leaves Magnifico`s study.

She is excited. She gets to work with the king! The most awesome king in the world! She does a dorky little victory dance. Valentino shows up, he snuck into the castle with her. Asha starts chasing him, she doesn`t want him to break something expensive, she really wants this job!

Valentino sneaks in through a door to a big (and probably forbidden) room and knocks down an ancient scroll. Asha picks up the scroll to put it back where it was, then she notices the title: How to remove someone`s wish.

Remove? The king grants wishes, he doesn`t take them!

She tries to convince herself not to read it, it`s not meant for her eyes, it`s classified, but her curiosity gets the better of her. She reads in the scroll that the spell should not be used on people under the age of 18. The individual who has had their wish removed becomes docile and free of aspirations, and in some rare cases, even lethargic (just like Simon). They will feel like something is missing from their life but are not able to put their finger on what.

She refuses to believe this. This can`t be true! Magnifico wouldn`t do something like this! He`s a good king!... Right? There are magical orbs of light floating in the ceiling, she takes a ladder and climbs up so that she can get a better look at them. One of the orbs shows a woman that wishes she could fly, another a woman who wishes to sail the seas, another a man who wishes to climb a muntain, and one of the orbs shows... her Saba! It is true, the king takes peoples wishes from them!

She climbs down, puts the scroll back and leaves the room quietly with Valentino under her arm.

She`s about to leave the castle through the main gate when Magnifico shows up. He tells her that there will be a wish-granting ceremony later that evening and he wants her to be present. Asha is nervous, but not a "OMG! I`m meeting my hero!" kind of nervous, but a "Hope he doesn`t figure out that I went into a forbidden room and saw things I shouldn`t have seen" kind of nervous. He seems not to notice, but at soon as Asha leaves the room we see that he did.

Later that evening there`s a wish-granting ceremony, a woman gets her wish granted, the people cheer for Magnifico and Asha sits there next to the queen, stiff and nervous.

Later that night: Asha tries to tell her family the truth about Magnifico, but they don`t believe her. Distraught, Asha runs away and makes her own wish on a star as she sings "This wish". (Not a bad song, but it could have used better lyrics in some places.)

Starboy appears and surprises Asha who smacks him with her sketch-book. (Meet-cute!)

Magnifico senses Starboy's arrival and sees it as a threat to his power.

Starboy doesn`t really grant wishes per se. He`s only as helpful as giving the means, but it’s up to the wishmaker to put the work in order to have their wish fulfilled.

Starboy's magic brings the forest to life, giving voices to the animals, plants and Valentino. They sing "I`m a star", but with better lyrics. (No "we're all shareholders" or "Get that through your system. Solar!") Asha, Valentino, and Starboy embark on a mission to recover Sabino's wish. She wants to save all the wishes, but if she can only save one she`ll have to focus on Sabino`s.

Tension rises in Rosas, Magnifico makes a public appearence and promises a great reward for any information relating to the strange light phenomenon. This makes Simon react. The residents of Rosas begin questioning his rule for the first time. Magnifico gets uncomfortable, leaves and sings "This is the thanks I get" (But sinister, not upbeat, and no "I let you live here fo free and I don't even charge you rent"). Asha and Starboy takes not only Sabino`s wish but a few other wishes as well and uses Starboy`s cape as a sack.

Asha returns Sabino's wish and he is overjoyed to have his memories back and sings "A wish worth making", playing his lute. They get ready to take the sack with the other wishes and return them to their rightful owners when King Magnifico bursts into the family's home. He has been informed by a mole that Asha was responsible for Starboy's arrival. He crushes Sakina's wish as punishment, rendering her overcome with grief. Starboy tries to defend her and is spotted by Magnifico, who vows to capture him. Asha and her family flee with Starboy. Sakina can barely stand after what Magnifico did to her wish, so Starboy uses his magic to give her the strength to walk. In all the chaos they unfortunately leave the other wishes in their home, Magnifico takes them as his own. Sabino and Sakima hide somewhere safe while Asha goes back to Rosas to free the rest of the wishes.

Later, in Magnifico`s study: Simon enters and feels bad for selling out his friend, King Magnifico tells him that what he did was necessary for the safety of the kingdom and that Asha won`t be hurt. He turns Simon into a knight, not in a public wish-granting ceremony though, but right there in his study.

Later, a brainwashed Simon is walking the streets with the company of other knights, searching for Asha and the rest of her friends. Asha sees him and looks for a place to hide. She finds her friends` hideout, not because of Valentino`s butt, but because of his sense of smell. She rallies the rest of her friends, Queen Amaya shows up and joins them.

Asha and her friends start making a plan.

Later, in King Magnifico`s secret lab: King Magnifico has made a staff, Amaya shows up and tells him what Asha and her friends are planning.

Gasp! Queen Amaya is a villain! (Dun dun dunn!)

She and Magnifico sing an evil duet villain song which is kinda similar to "With you by my side".

Asha`s friends infiltrate Magnifico's study to open up the ceiling and free the wishes while Asha plans to distract Magnifico. She and Starboy hides in the woods, she is nervous, Starboy tries to comfort her, so they talk a little. The talking leads to feelings being revealed which leads to singing. They sing "At all costs" and dance a romantic dance, first on the surface of a lake, then high up in the sky. (Thanks to Starboy`s magic.) Starboy gives Asha a magic wand to use as he leaves to help her friends, he then notices that he is getting weaker. Magnifico arrives, he and Asha fights. Magnifico turns out to be Simon disguised with an illusion and he breaks Asha`s wand, Asha finds a way to knock him out using the environment to her advantage.

Her friends almost free the wishes but are betrayed by Queen Amaya. Starboy tries to stop her but she pulls out a dagger and threatens to kill one of Asha`s friends, Magnifico shows up and zaps Starboy with magical chains that he can`t break free from.

Asha returns to the city, is caught by Magnifico, finds Starboy in magical chains and finds out that Queen Amaya was just a mole. Magnifico darkens the sky with clouds so that the people won`t be able to wish on stars.

Asha (to Magnifico): "I believed in you! I thought you were a good king!"

Magnifico: "I`m not a good king. I`m a GREAT king!"

All hope seems lost, Asha starts to sing the reprise to "This wish", her friends and the people of Rosas join her and their singing makes Starboy strong enough to break free from his chains. The breaking of the chains creates a shockwave that knocks Asha, Amaya and Magnifico off the tower. Starboy, still weakened, only has enough strength to save one of them, so he saves Asha.

With Magnifico defeated, his spell powers down as a new day dawns over the kingdom, with the citizens, Asha's mother included, are able to get their wishes back, afterwards, Asha is soon confronted by a regretful Simon, who understands if she doesn`t want to forgive him, but she does as she understands why he did it.

Starboy keeps getting weaker and has to go back, he gives Asha a new wand and the two of them say good bye. She wonders if she`ll ever see him again, he tells her that he`ll be the second star to the right.

With urging from her friends, Asha promises to help others earn their wishes as a Fairy Godmother, aiding everyone in making their dreams come true.

Post-credit scene: One year later: Asha is walking to the wishing tree in her fairy godmother outfit. She walks past a grave stone. Sabino is sitting in the tree playing "When you wish upon a star" on his lute. A tear rolls down Asha`s cheek. After Sabino has played the song he disappears as if he was a ghost. We see that the grave stone that Asha walked past earlier was Sabino`s. She wipes away her tear, looks up at the second star to the right, takes out her wand and teleports to some place where she might be needed.

And that`s how I would do it. Not great but hopefully not bad.

I cut "Knowing what I know now" because it was getting a little tight between songs. It would be hard to fit that song, Magnifico and Amaya`s villain song and "At all costs" so close to each other, while still maintaining a good narrative flow.

At first I wasn`t gonna turn Queen Amaya evil because I couldn`t come up with enough evil stuff for her to do (that I could fit into the plot without making it worse). But then I made her a villain because it would make things harder for Asha and her friends, which would make the movie more interesting.

But like I said before, the movie`s biggest problem is not that the Queen wasn`t evil, but that the writers couldn`t pick a lane when deciding if they wanted to make Magnifico a three-dimensional antagonist or a classic Disney Villain.

And now... a Bonus

One more thing about Frozen 2

Turning Kristoff`s Lost in the woods into a cheesy 1980s rock ballad musicvideo

I was gonna have this in my Frozen 2 CC but forgot and didn`t remember until after I published it. Since I don`t wanna go back and edit it I`ll write it here.

This scene is admittedly entertaining and if you don`t care about tone as long as it`s entertaining it`s fine.

But funny songs works better for funny characters and what Kristoff is singing about feels sincere, which clashes with how the song is executed.

The 1980s rock sound: Lose it.

The visuals: Have Kristoff walking around in the woods, seeing things that, to him, looks like Anna: a pile of rocks, a pile of leaves, a cloud in the sky. Stuff like that.

Probably an unpopular opinion.

It is of course very easy for me to write these because I have the luxury of hindsight. And unlike the filmmakers I didn`t have a movie studio full of corporate suits breathing down my neck, focus grouping the movie to death, forcing in unnecessary changes and pressuring me to get it made before a deadline.

Why do I write these?

For several reasons. I`m nitpicky. Sometimes the movies I criticize aren`t bad, I just like my own ideas better. Sometimes the movies I critize are bad. I care about good storytelling and it`s a fun excerize in creativity and script doctoring.

But also because I have a lot of of free time.

---------------------------------------------

Other movies on my Constructive Criticism list that you can look forward to

Supergirl (1984) Jonah Hex (2010) Dragonball evolution The Spirit (2008) The Dark Knight trilogy

And as usual: English is not my first language, so if my writing doesn`t seem to flow naturally, you know why.

[mimille-chan]

Let me tell you about “Niaiserie”

Context : when I made my illustration I started a Matrix ost playlist to get me in the mood, and that’s how I came across this song. It had nothing to do with the rest. NB : English isn't my main language, I've had the text proofread, but it's possible that some mistakes have been made.

So ! This song would be performed by Kerry Walsh (she is also credited on flute and vocals for several other pieces in Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions) and is available on CD “The Matrix Realoded Limited edition” as a bonus track (WHY, why limited edition ?! Why only 3500 copies ?!?)

Niaiserie can be heard in the scene where the Merovingian appears. The song begins as the restaurant doors open, when the receptionist guides Neo, Trinity and Morpheus to the Merovingian’s table.

I'm telling you about it today because I love this song and its context.

I was interested in this song because it's in French and we hear a lot of insults (in french of course). The lyrics aren't available on the internet so I tried to transcribe them myself. Unfortunately there are a few words I don't understand because of the pronunciation.

in the scene we hear (timecode 0:53) :

Si évidente                                                                                      si bourgeoise ennuyante  vous êtes riches et emmerdante à en crever

she's so obvious so bourgeois boring you're rich and annoying as hell

but we can also hear : 

elle est une flemmarde une vaniteuse elle est une ordure   garce                                                                                                                  Prend des airs elle est une m'as-tu vu

she’s a slacker a conceited she’s a swine a whore she looks like a diva (french expression complicated to translate)  she’s a glory hound (french expression meaning “pretentious and vain person”)

Some of the words in the song are taken from the Merovingian’s script : “so obvious, so bourgeois so boring” when he talks about the Beautiful Woman at Le Vrai.

We can think the whole song is about this woman, but I like to suppose she's self-critical too.

It’s typical of restaurant songs that we do not really listen to and are there to set the mood. Perfect for a gourmet restaurant like Le Vrai.

There's a line of lyrics I didn't include in the translation because I don’t understand the words that are said around :

Elle se redresse

she stands up

On the assumption that this song is about the woman, maybe it's the moment when she rises from the table. Maybe the lyrics are the thoughts and what the Merovingian sees. 

It's as if the scene was self-aware.

I love this level of detail

KHOC WEEK DAY 3: CONNECTION

Okay, so, I only had time to fully finish one of today's art pieces for @khoc-week (and of course I chose the moody one) I might update later with the finished version of the other one, we'll have to see lol. Anyway! While she's friendly with most people there are a few connections C.E. has that really stand out, but I'm putting it all under a cut because this one's a bit long.

Luka (left) and Nao (right).

Relationship Theme: Here's to Never Growing Up by Avril Lavigne

Having known each other most of their lives these three are practically inseparable. Together they make up a group called the Twilight Guardians. Most people thing it's just the name of their skate group (Luka and C.E. skateboard, Nao rollerskates) and/or their garage band (C.E. plays bass, Luka plays guitar/keyboard, Nao drums, and Luka and C.E. both do vocals) but in actuality they call themselves that because they make up the newest incarnation of the Twilight Town protectors. Each unknowingly descended from the original protectors and their families, they unlocked their abilities to fight Creatures of Darkness when they were attacked by Heartless while exploring the Mansion in the Woods sometime prior to DiZ setting up camp there. Because this was such a formative experience for them all they decided to make the winged unicorns that show up all around the mansion their group symbol.

A little info on their abilities:

Luka is a magic user and healer, he can summon a staff weapon that doubles as a melee weapon in a tight spot and can use a few types of elemental magic, namely air and fire, in addition to having strong healing magic.

Nao is a little gremlin of a tank who can summon a giant hammer weapon. She can also technically use earth/stone magic, but she often forgoes it in favor of a brute force approach.

C.E. covers ranged combat, she can summon a revolver that fires magic projectiles. These projectiles are basically concentrated light magic, the upside to this is that she doesn't need to take time to physically reload, the downside is that how many rounds she can fire is linked directly to her MP, meaning if she doesn't take care it's easy for her to drain her reserves and end up in a bad spot.

Like I said, these three are thick as thieves and the very best of friends. Of course, not every relationship is so smooth.

Seifer

Relationship Theme: Not Another Song About Love by Hollywood Ending

It's been said that no one knows how to drive you crazy quite like the ones who know you best, and these two are a perfect example of that. Having grown up as next door neighbors in the same apartment block they've known each other since they were in diapers, and generally tend to get along about as well as the proverbial cats and dogs. They bicker about anything and everything, often to the point their respective friends will wander off together to hang out until they burn themselves out.

And yet... They find themselves drawn back together again and again. No one knows them the way they know each other, Seifer knows about the shelves full of photo albums and scrapbooks C.E. keeps in her room, C.E. knows about the movie that Seifer watches over and over even though he knows the script by heart. They know just what to say to set the other off like a fireworks show, and where they hide when they get lost in their head. If one is in real trouble the other is the first one to come running and when everything is just too much they know they can count on each other for a shoulder to lean on, no words needed. And somewhere along the way childish rivalry began to grow into something more, something deeper.

Not that either one is quite ready to admit it.

Bonus points if anyone can figure out what any of the blurred posters in the background are. Hint: They're all Covers/Official Art for Square games (They're also all things that have influenced the developement of C.E.'s character, but I doubt anyone but me can draw those connections lol)

[weneedatdcharacterwho]

We need a td character who is a theatre kid but in a subverted way. They are a child of an actors who's working in a not very famous theatre and they HATE theatre because their parents haven't spent enough time with them because of their job (life of kid from actors' family is SUCKS, saying it as a person with a single theatre actress mom). And they are very vocal about their hatred towards it. But actually they unintentionally act like THE MOST STEREOTYPICAL THEATRE KID. They are very mannered and eccentric. And also they have a unique taste in clothes and fashion in general. And also they like music. And also they actually like some musical from their parents' theatre. And by the end of their arc they realize that they ARE the theatre kid and there a big difference between theatre as an art and theatre as a career

Bonus point if through the whole show they were writing some kind of story and after their realization turns it into the script for the play and direct it by themself with an eliminated contestants as actors and perform it in the season finale just for fun

Dragalia Lost Team, presumably: Okay, we wanna use that song of yours, Daoko, but the lyrics are maybe a little bit...suggestive for Nintendo. Can we just make a light and happy instrumental tune of it that players can enjoy as they play (we can still have the vocal tracks, but we'll hide 'em a bit so they're not quite as in Nintendo's face when they're testing it, 'kay?)

Daoko, presumably: Mh-hm.

(Insert many instrumental tracks)

Also Dragalia Lost Team: Okay, we need something happy for the summoning song. We think we found a good tune, and even a good lyric segment. At least, we heard the localization team overseas working on it was bopping to it. How's this sound?

The lyrics highlighted in question (not even a joke, these are actually the lyrics in the summoning song):

Bang, bang, bang, bang, love and die, A boy and a girl, lovers' suicide, Bang, bang, bang, bang, love and die, Shoot with a blue gun, ....(repeat first 3 lines)... ...I'll dye you blue!

...So yeah, if you didn't know, that's the section of Bang! Dragalia used, lyrics and all, for summoning. Honestly have no idea why they chose that one or got away with it, with Nintendo's name in the mix, but it sure was funny when I found out some years ago! Rather funny to have such a 'wholesome' game have some very unwholesome lyrics in probably one of the most played songs in game!

Bonus round:

This isn't actually verified despite my attempts, but I am 95% sure in my amateur ears that have enough trouble trying to understand what people are saying in English to begin with, that in the Greatwyrm theme, Crasher, at about the 1:55 minute mark, there's a random interjection of, 'kick my ass'.

Please check this one out for yourself, here. Maybe it was just the me of a few years ago projecting my will to finally beat one of those fights when they first released when you basically needed the entire 5min fight scripted in your head+3 other people that also knew their specific role and the fight, but I still cannot unhear it nor process what else it might be.

That is all.

[measureyourlifeincake]

I helped make (read: co-produced, script-edited, co-directed, voice acted, and did some other miscellaneous jobs for) a science fiction audio drama called ROGUEMAKER with some very cool people!

It's 10 episodes (plus a few bonus eps—one of which I wrote) and it's about a far future commercial spaceflight that goes horribly wrong, leaving the crew and passengers stuck in individual escape pods with faulty comms, an AI that can't hear them, and seemingly random broadcasts going in and out. It was written by my friend @spacecoffeeandcartoons, a soon-to-be doctor of astronomy/literature based on a larp that I helped her run!

We also have an original soundtrack up on bandcamp, which includes vocals from the in-universe band About Gardens (I was actually mostly uninvolved in making the music but it's good music and also a way to kick a few bucks to the folks who actually did make it)

I am being so serious when I say: if you have the financial and time privilege to get a group of friends together and make an indie project, PLEASE do. Indie games, indie animations, indie comics etc etc

the art industries are kind of in the shitter. It’s not so much because of AI (though that doesn’t help) but because studios just aren’t hiring people and funding projects anymore. People who’ve been in the industry for decades are finding themselves struggling, and once you have a mortgage or kids it’s harder to do something as risky as making something on your own.

completing projects is hard. it takes a lot of time and effort, and most people can’t afford it. so if you CAN afford to make art, even at the risk of no financial gain, I strongly encourage you to be as resilient as you can. We’re at a point where these industries are not going to turn around by themselves, and waiting for jobs to open up again in order to get experience and portfolio work might not be realistic.

people have been making art and telling stories longgggg before we were getting paid for it, and people aren’t going to stop just because no one has hired them to do so.

for everyone else: support indie artists when you can!!!! That person who made that cool indie game or youtube animation or webcomic might be doing this full time! your support might be the only reason they’re able to keep doing it.

and if you have already started an indie project: you’re so brave and I’m very proud of you!!! in fact, drop a link to it in the reblogs if you want! 👇

Ranking all Joe Hart songs:

13-I Only Have Eyes for You by The Flamingos

Forgot to add this oopsie. Joe only does backup vocals with Artie and Unique so yeah

12-In My Life by The Beatles

Okay so unlike Rory, Joe (along Artie and Blaine) have no lines and just do backing vocals so it’s hard to hear them so… last place yeah

11-Footloose by Kenny Loggins

He sings more in the studio version but only a little bit on the episode version, plus the camera never focuses on him singing so most people (me included) thought it was Sam singing💔

10-Night Fever by Bee Gees

At this point all of his songs are good to me so already hard to chose which is in front of which. For the longest time I thought Joe was singing the high parts but no, turns out that was all Will, he still sounds good

9-Cherish/Cherish by Madonna/The Association

Jam duet kinda❤️‍🩹 no but his voice sounds so good with Sam’s and at the same time there’s Quinn and Mercedes singing together and we also have Rory and Sugar dancing and background brittana being cute, I love this gcv

8-Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Harry Reser and His Band feat. Tom Stacks (Bruce Springsteen cover)

Wow that’s a big ass name. Now for the song, he doesn’t appear in the episode since it was before his introduction, but they still used his voice in some parts lol it’s hard to hear since Puck’s voice it’s louder but yeah, it’s his voice in the episode, not Finn’s

7-What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction

Once again the camera work does no good for our friend Joe, cause on his first line the camera already cuts to Brittany insulting Blaine’s hair and then on the next time he sings the camera focus on everyone but him, when he is the one singing the second chorus after Artie, I’m okay. I’m okay

6-Hall of Fame by The Script feat. Will.I.Am

He sounds SO GOOD HERE. This is the first time he ever sings in a competition so it’s special to me. It is also the last time he ever sings on the show so it’s double special💔

5-No Scrubs by TLC

Okay so he doesn’t sing a lot here but this song is overall one of my favorite songs ever on the show so who cares. Also he looks hot here so bonus point

4-3 by Britney Spears

“Living in sin is the new thing” this line alone could’ve started an entire arc about Joe’s faith and religion but glee writers don’t like thinking out of the box so yeah, shame. The three of them have crazy harmonies too and I love it, this song is severely underrated

3-Some Nights by Fun.

OH MY GOOOOOD I love this song so much, not only does Joe sounds so good but so does everyone else also Joe is the only one with a spoken line so that makes him the protagonist here fr fr☝️

2-Saving All My Love for You by Whitney Houston

Closest he had of a solo. I can not put into words how much I mourn his relationship with Quinn, this song is beautiful, I listen to the original all the time and Samuel sounds so good singing it, his voice managed to match Dianna’s and I’m glad for that. If one day they ever meet again and idk sing anything I would love for it to be this song

1-Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine

His first song ever on the show and it’s still the best, he sounds phenomenal, yes Sam raps, Mercedes sings a little and Quinn does backing vocals but Joe completely steals the scene (and song) for me. This is one of those songs better than the original and I’m not afraid to say it out loud

Samuel’s last chance performances on the glee project in 5 words or less:

Animal by Neon Trees: wild, energetic, fun, sexy

My Funny Valentine from Babes in Arms: deserved to be recorded for real

Jolene by Dolly Parton: a different interpretation, he sounds amazing
