[jalluzas-ferney]

Aw man I rlly wish there was another Ninjago movie - I know that many people hated that movie but tbh I had actually enjoyed it a lot - cuz of the comedy and well- I will eat anything from Ninjago up 🦭

The thing is- I rlly do think they should have done some things differently, ofc. Like give more attention to the actual ninja team rather than most of the movie being centered around Lloyd and his relationship with his father. Like yeah, that concept was great, but let’s be honest, most of us were here for the ninja team- not just Lloyds daddy issues. And while yeah- they DID have screen time, I still think they deserved more screen time? I wish we could explore more of their life in high school as secret ninja and their dynamics.

That also brings us to their changed personalities. Even tho I don’t HATE how they’re written in the movie- it still bothers me that they changed their personalities to what they were- and for what??? Even tho their personalities are fun and all that - and it must be pretty fun explore that side of their character and how their dynamics are now that they act that way, we all still in uso muy wish they remained the same. Because that would make us love and enjoy the movie even more- because it would feel a lot more like a “high school au” and the whole concept of them living in the city and going to high school and actually having to hide their identities and all that, would be a lot more interesting and enjoyable for the fans if they kept the characters personalities. Because now, it just feels like they’re completely different characters.

For example, Zane was a huge let down cuz wtf happened to him like they legit threw his whole preonaliry out the window. Cole? Even tho I love him in the movie he’s just lacking his leader, friendly yet tough personality - you know what I mean. The others I don’t actually mind that much but yeah y’all get what I mean.

Theeenn well, I wish the plot was better. Plus I wish each ninja would of explored their powers and all that more during the movie.

OVERALL my main gripe is how they did the ninja - our main characters. Which I think is smth most of us can agree. It’s like yeah I liked them in the movie but man it would of been a lot better if they just kept their original personalities and well, gave them more focus. And all I wish- a simple wish so I’m not even gonna actually gonna happen 💀 is that they suddenly decided that “hey let’s make a second one and fix the mistakes form the last one - that being GIVING THE MAIN NINJA MORE FOCUS and probably a funner plot “ 😭😭😭

too much

[tvckerwash]

I'm thinking about price again my dudes. like I honestly don't think he was a bad guy or that he had bad intentions. he—like everyone else involved in project freelancer—choose to wholeheartedly believe in the director, and he genuinely thought that an out of the box/unconventional solution like project freelancer could've been the key to winning the war.

I also think that he did genuinely want the best for the freelancers, and that his psychological experiments were not intended to result in the outcomes that they did. I don't think price wanted to see /his/ freelancer agents that he personally hand-picked fail—or continually be put into positions that would result in failure, but, unfortunately, he was at the mercy of the director's whims and a fundamentally broken system as much as the agent's themselves were.

when I look at the way he interacts with wash in recovery one and s6, I don't see someone who is doing what he is solely due to underlying ulterior motives. like don't get me wrong, price didn't trust wash, and the extensive therapy sessions did have hidden agendas, but I think he really did want to see wash up and running again, and he does express some level of remorse over the whole epsilon incident along with south betraying wash and shooting him in the back. but again, unfortunately for price, he's dealing with a man who already had an inherent dislike of people poking around inside his head, who also doesn't want to beat around the bush and deal with all of price's bullshit therapy jargon because he's fine, so just give him a gun and tell him where to shoot.

at the end of s6, price wanted to negotiate with wash and meta, but unfortunately (for the umpteenth time), he was dealing with 3 people who were far past the point of negotiating and already had their minds made up. wash was prepared to die if it meant the destruction of freelancer and the meta, the meta was prepared to do anything he was asked if it would lead him to the alpha, and the director was prepared to continue using his agent's to carry out his personal agenda and eliminate those who got in his way.

then price gets sent to jail, left to rot by the man who he trusted. some years pass and he hears about how a group of colorful soldiers brought the director to justice, and then the prison transport ship he's called home gets hijacked by some mercenaries, and finding himself free (relatively speaking) for the first time in a very long time, he decides he's not taking any chances.

sharkface was doomed to die—price made sure to direct his single focused rage and desire for revenge towards agent carolina, for she had always been an empathetic and deeply caring woman even if she wasn't the best at showing it, and her competitive nature was an easy and obvious exploit. unfortunately for sharkface though, with all of his attention on carolina, that meant that agent washington would fall off his radar, and he would have no problem delivering the finishing blow that carolina herself couldn't—wash is a pragmatic man first and foremost, and he has no qualms about killing people if they pose a danger to himself and those close to him, and unlike carolina he only let's his emotions get the better of him in the field when he can logically justify his actions to himself as being unrelated to his feelings.

locus is a man who has been irreparably scarred by the great war along with so many others, and he has no sense of identity outside of being a soldier. his interest (and subsequent disappointment and anger) over agent washington not accepting him as a fellow soldier is very telling. price wonders what locus would think if he told him that agent washington had been court-martialed and demoted prior to being recruited for freelancer for disobeying orders and attacking his CO.

when locus has a sudden interest in the meta, he decides to take the opportunity to sow the seeds of doubt and open locus' eyes to the truth of his partnership with felix, and how the other man wants locus to stay a broken, mindless soldier when he does not need to be one. after all, price is and always will be a counselor, and while he thoroughly failed at his job in the past due to things that were both in and out of his control, here he sees a chance to do some good and make amends on his own terms.

anyways thinking about this tweet. goodnight <3

[makoxxlip]

How do you think Makorra would occur in Season 3 and 4, with themes like Korra's PTSD and Mako & Bolin finding their family?

I genuinely think b3 is already good how is it, especially with how much action there's in it so there's not that much place for the rest, but Makorra still here even if it's mostly casual and the post break up context.

There's doubts and tension especially from Mako's side. But Korra is constantly reassuring him through some affectionately actions and words "You're part of team avatar. " and Mako still truly care about Korra and despite being awkward around her (due to still romantic feelings, but that's on my interpretation even if theses two were obviously baited until the very end) he's still her white knight constantly protecting her (fought the red lotus, making up plan for her to be safe despite putting himself in danger, plan to find her back..) like he always did since the beginning, showing how extreme their relationships status could change, they'll always care and deeply need each other.

They're truly a such cool lovers to exes positive representation, I'm glad for it 🙏🏽

but here comes b4...

tbh even with that one book I don't have that much to say outside that ending, cuz once again we got major Makorra moments- he literally accompanied her during a major step in her recovery journey? (facing Zaheer) Telling her how he got dead worried and was actually mad at her for not updating him? His part in the remembrance episode being just him ranting about how Korra is incredible, amazing, spectacular, show stopping, totally unique, never the same- and how she moved his whole world and inspired him, to the point he unhesitatingly sacrificed himself in the b4 finale directly paralleling Korra's sacrifice in b3 finale.

And with that last sentence I want to bring back my problem with that end and also the comics.

Makorra literally share a such specific and traumatic same experience through these sacrifices, which is being disabled and partially losing their skills while being used to be very talented, even prodigies, benders and fighters... but they did NOTHING of it ignoring Mako's trauma, acting like Korra is all 'healed' also ignoring her trauma too cuz let's be real 'korra alone' was FAR from enough, and their relationship in general, especially in the comics, destroying what they build since b1 making Korra and Mako so distant (Korra not caring about Mako's arm while she literally lived the same experience he's going through) They could help and heal together understanding e/o so well.

So my main complain will be mostly that and post b4 in general and how Makorra straight up got wasted and just loose a godly storyline over whatever bs we got instead.

Now on Mako and Bolin's fam path of plot, I don't think Korra was necessary in it since it's really focused on the bros unused back story, which I hope will be digged even more later.

That's it i guess. Hope I actually answered your question 🫶🏽

So you’re telling me we could’ve had a Krel Tarron character arc? AND THEY SCRAPPED IT? I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE VIOLENT INTENTIONS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

Part One (Astral Express

Random post ideas I got, but I'm just listing my opinions on aspects of the HSR designs, including things I may dislike or would at least change about certain playable HSR design, because I am currently planning some of my own designs/redesigns to use for future art

Disclaimer!! I am not a professional character designer, I am not saying any of my ideas for them are objectively better, and I am not bashing any of these designs. I actually like most if not literally all of the playable designs so far! This is just my lil opinions of how I would change them

The List part 1:

Stelle: I actually like the turquoise band around her thigh, I just don't like how they didn't take the opportunity to sprinkle in some more of that color into her design. She had a lot of little details in her outfit, especially the back of her coat, so there's a lot of places where a few splashes of turquoise could be added whether in those little details or in some of her other adornments just so that the band stands out less . I think I would change more than just that ofc, but that's one of the things about her that stood out the most to me. Also honestly? Maybe I would scale down the sheer amount of detail she has on her back (which as someone who has tried to draw her from the back view o h my g o d), and add some more detail on her sides like her arms and her legs maybe? I dunno, I think her design is really really nice, but there are places the amount of details could be more evenly spread to.

March 7th: While I don't mind her design that is especially center around her top half, March definitely has a clutter design particularly around her waist when you look at her full body in detail. Clutter that manages to mix in some odd color choices too/ I'd probably clean it up, or better place the little bits of clutter to feel like it matches more and change up the colors in order to at least go with the rest of her outfit. Like the gold makes sense, not only with her details of golden buttons throughout her design but also the golden ticket she holds showing she is passenger of the Astral Express, but why the black fabric? How is it supposed to work in terms of construction with the rest of her outfit, I'd keep her black to only the little accented bands on her thigh and neck rather than anything big on her waist. Why is the thing holding her camera orange, why does she have this random bright green button, why does she have seemingly two different belts?? I think March would have a better sense of what goes together than that. Overall, still an adorable design.

Dan Heng: He is very nicely designed, and I think a lot of his personality comes through in it, way better than any alternative for him. I feel like I can get a better sense of his nature and overall how he feels and who he is in it. The one unfortunate aspect of his design for me though is that it feels a bit... bland? for a lack of better word. Not that he's devoid of details or anything, very nice to see him not having a particularly busy design, but a lot of those meaningful details tend to be pushed to his back or his arms. I would probably bring a few more of the details that can be to the front or maybe add more? It just feels as though there is something lacking in the design, maybe more on a coloration front than construction. Speaking of coloration, I'd likely change the way the details around his waist are colored, all the same hue and yet different shades also getting an ombre? It's a little messy, but not a big issue to be honest. That's just my view of it though, still love his design for how much it really lets his character shine through unlike Another One which I will eventually get into and explain my thoughts on in the Luofu post.

Himeko: Listen, she's beautiful, she's gorgeous. I absolutely adore her and her color palette especially, it's such a nice blend of elements with the gold all mixed in. However, her silhouette is awful like it's so messy, and I really dislike how weighed down she feels. I wish she looked just a bit different, wish her clothes looked a bit lighter. She's a Nameless, she's their navigator, she's the one who repaired the Astral Express herself!! I wish she had more details to reflect all of that, and I already have ideas for how it could be done that would end up alleviating some of the weight placed on her with all of those heavy, layered fabrics. Additionally, I think there's a better way to highlight those elements while still making her look elegant, gorgeous, and ornate. Yeah, I love Himeko, I do like her currently design a lot, but I think more could be done to show off more sides of her. She's the one I probably have the clearest image for so far. Like I can imagine her in a nice set of slacks, a deep brown tone that goes well with her coat, and either on the sides or the front of the bottom, they have slits revealing these ruffles showing through similar to the ruffles of her coat sleeves. They have golden adornments along them, very sleek and fitting her figure well to keep with a very elegant appearance. Perhaps she has suspenders as well, maybe only one side to fit with their habit of asymmetrical designs. All with a nice white blouse or even some kind of button up, buttons popped open and collar folded in a more fashionable style. Even more hammering on the asymmetry, maybe for side where she actually wears her coat, the sleeve is much shorter to not interfere with the jacket's ruffles. I don't know, that's just a little idea of changing up the construction of her outfit that I had, but I'll see how it looks on paper when I draw it.

Welt: Okay listen, I need to look up more about his lore before I can truly say anything about him. Looking at his design, and with what I do know about him, I do adore it. His color palette here with the grey tones making up the majority of it for his upper body with the accents of an almost like cool toned brown and the darker shades of grey and black coming in. It's so nicely balanced, I don't feel like he had too many elements or too many overlapping fabrics that complicate the shape. It's a competent design, and while I think someone with more knowledge on him could find more places to add details, with what I know about him, I do really like the way he looks. If I were to change one thing... I would give him more wrinkles. I know why his physical appearance doesn't match what his true age is, but I still think he deserves a few more wrinkles PLEASE that's the only way I can think to truly elevate him at the moment, give him a few more wrinkles he'd look so good with them. Whenever I see art of people giving him more wrinkles I ascend... Okay well, I can think of something I would do color wise, but I'm still on the fence about it.

I think I'll leave things there for now. I don't have as much to say on these designs in particular. I think generally they're pretty solid, and even with the ones I can think of more changes for like Himeko's, I still greatly adore a lot of elements from it. The Astral Express' base designs definitely aren't the ones I have a lot of gripes with or things to say aside from suggestions for Himeko, we'll get to those eventually (those ones in particular are Serval and DH IL, both for primarily character reasons rather than aesthetic reasons like some other opinions I have.) But yeah, the next post will be for the Stellaron Hunters since I couldn't fit them into this so look out for that!

No one can convince me Cassandra wouldn't wander close enough to the kitchen to hear the fight, girl was flying all around the castle. If there was any logic in the game then there would be a very pissed-off Cass storming into the kitchen and turning Ethan into puzzle pieces. You can't convince me she wouldn't hear it and she wouldn't go absolutely mad feral at a man thing that dared to lay a finger on her sis

17 for saphyre?

This is an interesting question for sure! Ty!!!

— Do they tend to run fevers? How do they take their temperature?

Short answer is yes! hehe you'll see. In the world most of my ocs live called Animalían even if they've human-like body types they're mostly regular animals/mythological beings and such stuff ('Cause there's only 7 half-humans who exists there, one of them is Snehan).

So, Saphyre is a spider: they're ectotherm or "cold blood" animals whose temperature regulation is determined by external elements of the environment. She hates summer a lot 'cause of the heat and she tends to be very feverish at times. On winters too, she tends to caught terrible and miserable colds as the temperature goes lower.

As she's part of the royalty (literally a princess), she has some knowledge about magic and she can identify her health state by using a tactic "generic wellbeing factor" that displays a whole "clinic analysis" of the user. Most times she knows by her instincts, meteorologically speaking, when the environment is changing. That would explain how she can take care of herself properly on either situation or to acknowledge a disruption of her own temperature (she's pretty unmindful at times tho,, that's why she can't escape being sick at least two times a year).

[10hpgone]

it's adams nothing character and the silverwing incident that makes me think that's where it all started. the character outfits are a mess of the designers not putting them in skirts OR pants so we get a tiny skirt open to tiny shorts with ugly ass fabric bits everywhere and the nonsensical coattail thats supposed to evoke a long skirt but we cant leave anything unsexualized so no long skirts. like can we make a choice ?? this whole part 2 is just making me think of scrapped silverwing concept art and how she actually looked like bronya at one point

I def blame APHO like a lot of pt 2 looks almost identical or clearly influenced esp the changes to combat and the outfits. I’m thinking APHO was prolly a tester to see how well received these changes wld be but hoyo didn’t realise the only reason ppl didn’t have an issue was bc it was separate from main story and could be ignored if ppl didn’t enjoy it.

and 2 squeeze this in the outfits r def frustrating bc past battlesuits + concept art shows they can make good fits they js dont for some rzn. like using misteln as an example there was no rzn to change her design on release to be worse.

like if I’m being honest it v much feels like honkai was supposed to end but they wanted to capitalise off the popularity and loyal fanbase so merged a completely diff game and called it a pt2 ? like mayb I’m wrong cuz it isn’t released yet but w honkai sealed + no more herrschers + the story seemingly taking place in a completely diff world how is it even gna relate to part 1 or honkai at all

[gumioe]

all these ndrv3 fix it fics and still no one has fully explored how fucking sick the necronomicon plot could have been if it was allowed to play out

// ndrv3 spoilers under the cut

and then imagine the reveal at the end that the new "rantaro" is actually another loony danganronpa fan who was selected from a surprise casting call, who was then brainwashed to be the exact character that rantaro was. rantaro was recast, essentially. idk wouldn't that have been fucked up and cool. imagine the characters having to deal with the implications that not only are they fictional characters with personalities that were determined by a group of writers, but that they can be replaced by instilling that exact personality onto any other warm body. bruh idk I think that's kinda sick. I kinda wanna write an ndrv3 fix it fic but god my brain ain't good enough to write a dr game. idk how to come up with those complicated ass murders

like imagine they DO successfully pull off the ritual to bring rantaro back to life, but he's a little... off. he's a little shorter than the others remember him, and his hair is a slightly different shade of green, and was his voice always that low? but he has the exact same personality, he remembers everything up until his death, and he knows things that no one but the real rantaro would know. without a doubt, a person has just come back from the dead. holy shit.

[makoxxlip]

The way we got robbed of emotional makorra in the rote comics is genuinely criminal

Korra see the man who always protected her, even putting his own life at risk without any hesitation through the years.. being against her for once. He was seeing her as the enemy and threatening her life due to the brainwashing. and you're telling it didn't moved her? and they made nothing out of it-

It definitely should've been a big deal.

i wish they took the harriet/jfk thing further
