"Everyone else doesn't know what you're all about! Sure - you're practically a fucking, sexy Loki right now -" The costume was fairly normal - Gabe just thought all their friends were hot as shit, " - but deep down? Fucking - terror!" They only laughed, handing the drink back to Kell, "It's my birthday week - I get to steal drinks, it's like - my right. Buy me one, at least, then? Please?"

"Thank you, Gabe, I appreciate that." Kell grins. "You're the first person to say that tonight." They swat lightly at their face, laughing even as they pull back. "Oh, c'mon, fuck off," they joke. "Get your own."

Gabriel "Punk" Ryder | Django Astrophel | Malachai "Kai" Arano-Kells Cletus Fleurian | Cera Vulpine | Tuesday Inez Evo-Xi | Jinxi-Xi | Tiani Santos Atlas Sterling | Gizmo Greer | Gina "Gadget" Gat

Not 100% accurate because the others were drawn and sims has it's limits (like Django and Cera are fox people but the fox ear cc I find looks off on both of them, I don't use tail cc in the sims because they usually move awkwardly with the sim and ofc hair isn't 100% accurate either. I have drawings of some of them on my art blog if you want to see how they actually look)

Writers Guild Presents - Disavowed, Chapter 3

Written by Terraific on our subreddit!

Tags for chapter 3: explicit, oral sex chapter 2: mature audiences, violence, death (no one we know) chapter 1: explicit, all the nudity, sex

Summary:

Upon leaving Kells, Aziraphale has finally found Crowley. After sharing a lovely evening in a local tavern, the conversation turns serious, and emotions, minds, and passions run wild.

Excerpt:

But...what did he want? What a concept. He wanted what was right. And despite all of his logic and wisdom, what felt right was right in front of him. Perhaps this was what was right…part of the plan. If he wanted to do something this brash surely, surely it wasn’t all his own will. Not something that sat so heavy on his shoulders and squeezed his heart like a vice. It wasn’t like what he said to Gabriel in Job’s decimated home. This was something bigger.

i have a lot of quiet thoughts about gabe and his loneliness as a character.

gabe and one were both very solitary people, by circumstance or choice in some capacity. but gabe's story always made me sad to see or read about when owl would share, because he's just a sick kid with nobody willing to give him the proper help or kindness he deserves to pull through. i 100% think that if his parents were better to get proper treatment when he was younger, he would not have gotten so bad. and i know it's not simple, as it never is with mental illness, but i think that if they, and the other people in thornville just had some patience and took the time to show gabe some genuine love and affection, he would not have turned into such a closed off and isolated individual.

i really see gabe's character as heart breaking because there are so many moments, especially when he first appeared and was "worse", that you could read between the lines of what he was saying or doing and understand that he did not like his life. he hated being sick and being feared, but the only comfort he could give himself was revelling in that, that he was a source of fear and discomfort for those around him. i saw him as lonely. not as a pity case, but someone i could relate to- especially back when i was a teen haha. i wasn't sick like that, but... when you're alone long enough, you grow cynical, and assume the worst in others who usually mean well. you use coldness as a defence and get used to your own company. but you're not happy, not even if you want to tell yourself you are.

that's why gabriel was so magnetic to me, and why i love him as an oc even now. because there's still part of me who is lonely and even if i'm learning to open up and be kinder to myself in the process, i still feel that sadness and bitterness when i see how i'm not quite the same as a lot of folks around me

anyway, what i was trying to get at is that i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about gabe that result in artistic ideas for comics or pieces reflecting that sadder aspect of his life. i am happy to draw him happy with pip, to think of canon gabe in a comfortable future- but i still think of the rest, and i think about it a lot!!

tbh there's a lot of pip n gabe (or just one of them at a time) comic-y things i have ideas for relating to songs or concepts

i just have no energy lmao

Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia (2022, France)

Before the late 2000s and early 2010s in the United States, the possibility of finding mostly hand-drawn animated features from outside the major American studios and select anime works was a remote one if you did not live near a major city. Chipping away at that reality is New York City-based GKIDS, a distributor dedicating itself to introducing independent animation, “for both adult and family audiences.” Without GKIDS, Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon (2009’s The Secret of Kells, 2020’s Wolfwalkers) does not have the international reputation that it now has. GKIDS’ dedication to playing both dubbed and subbed versions of movies (before handing over theatrical distribution rights of Studio Ghibli movies to GKIDS, Walt Disney Studios only offered English dubs for theatrical releases) has shown its respect for its audiences.

When I saw Ernest and Celestine (2012, France/Belgium) in a theater in March 2014, it was the first GKIDS release I saw that was staunchly a children’s movie. What I saw that day was eye-opening. Here, like the animated movies that colored my younger days, was a work that could easily appeal to kids. But had similar, if not equal, appeal to adults. Call me a provincial and ethnocentric American all you will, but I realized then that non-English and non-Japanese-language animation is not always “more sophisticated” than what my friends and I mostly watched. It remains, to me, one of the best animated features of this young century. My thanks to GKIDS for all that they provide to American audiences willing to branch out beyond what is most readily available.

A decade and a CGI animated television series later, a new film based on the duo created by the late author-illustrator Gabrielle Vincent arrives. Based on an original story, Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia (in French: Ernest et Célestine: Le Voyage en Charabïe) retains the spirit of the loving friendship between bear and mouse – both perpetual outsiders. This hand-drawn sequel’s directors are Julien Chheng (animator on the original movie, producer of Primal, and director of “The Spy Dancer” from Star Wars: Visions) and Jean-Christophe Roger (a director on the TV series). There was no involvement from the original movie’s directors – I’m unsure what Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar (2009’s A Town Called Panic) are up to; Benjamin Renner is now working at Illumination. With some modifications that resemble more of the television series than the original film, Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia is another comedic delight, with pointed statements to make about the absurdity of government censorship. It does not exactly recapture the aesthetic pleasures nor the succinct writing of the first movie, but it still compares favorably than almost anything released in English-language animation this year.

Ernest and Celestine (Lambert Wilson and Pauline Brunner, both returning to the roles), defying societal expectations and a biased legal system in the first film, are still living together. Celestine draws and paints. Ernest, who has just awoken from hibernation, busks on his Stradibearius violin and bandoneon (it’s not an accordion). One day, Celestine accidentally breaks the neck of Ernest’s violin – Celestine is repentant, Ernest distraught but not angry. The only one who can fix the violin is the original craftsman, Octavius (Jean-Marc Pannetier). He lives in Ernest’s all-bear homeland of Gibberitia (Charabïe*), and Celestine believes that they should travel there immediately. A resistant Ernest opposes the plan, but has no choice to follow Celestine when she takes the violin and sets off to Gibberitia on her own. In the first film, Ernest mentions his estranged relationship with his family was due to the fact that he became a musician rather than go into law. In this sequel, Celestine learns the exact details of that conflict, and Ernest witnesses the changes in his family (his parents and especially his younger sister) and Gibberitian society that have transpired due to his decision.

Without spoiling too much, Gibberitia has outlawed all musical notes except for one (a C, or referring to solfège, “Do”). How are the average Gibberitian bears coping? All you have to do is look at the national slogan: “That’s just how it is.”‡ Meanwhile, a mysterious saxophonist vigilante named EFG (“Mifasol”, again referring to solfège) playing multiple-note music is giving the Gibberitian police a headache.

Screenwriters Guillaume Mautalent and Sébastien Oursel (the French-Irish animated TV series Glactick Football) present an endearing screenplay that captures the platonic love between bear and mouse. This happens in spite of a messy final act, headlined by a head-scratching decision from Ernest to acquiesce to his father’s demands just before the climax (the result of what the directors Chheng and Roger admit were significant changes to the story in order to accommodate a film where music helps to drive the narrative). The friendship that Ernest and Celestine built in the first film has grown in the time between the two films, and it is reassuring to see that they remain so close. One sees it in their reactions when Celestine breaks his violin, Ernest’s attempts to make sure Celestine is safe, her disgust when she hears about his parents’ expectations, and quieter moments where little else is happening. Simple as their friendship may seem, their relationship has deepened over time, through their distinct but complementary personalities and mutually weathered conflicts. Certainly, Ernest can be a bit of a grump and Celestine has an impulsive streak. But the two accept each other for who they are in that moment, and cannot stand the sight of others treating their friend without compassion. There is much for children to learn here and in the previous film, as well as adults.

That ability to tell a story appealing (in different ways) to both younger and older audiences is even apparent in the drama that exists alongside Ernest and Celestine’s relationship. Gibberitia’s decision to outlaw all but one musical note provides the bulk of this sequel’s comedy and dramatic intrigue. Children will get a kick out of the situation's silliness, as even Gibberitia’s songbirds find themselves on the receiving end of the police’s high-pressure hoses. How much laughter can one elicit from playing a piece, with a straight face, that has only one note? More than you think. Adults will quickly notice the surprisingly sharp critique towards government officials looking to censor works of art. Artists are incarcerated without trial for playing anything other than a C. That the reasons behind the decision are hilariously shallow (rather than, to take a real-life scenario, an intent to further marginalize marginalized groups) makes the movie’s messaging that much more effective for all audiences.

Ernest and Celestine’s conversations with the local constabulary are alarmingly fruitless, usually ending with the authority saying something alone the lines of: “because I said so” or the oft-quoted “that’s just how it is.” If Gibberitia’s kritarchy is outlawing all but one note, what else are they up to? Co-directors Chheng and Roger and co-writers Mautalent and Oursel, to ensure the film’s appeal to children, will not say and steadfastly stick to the ban on all but one musical note. In a show of respect to viewers of all ages, they color the film’s protagonists and their allies with both irreverence and a bold refusal to honor the status quo. It befits Ernest and Celestine (the pair and the prior film): two social outcasts who found friendship through art, who stuck together in the face of mutual xenophobia by their fellow bears and mice (a similar allegory that 2016’s Zootopia bungled). When individuals are allowed to be what they want, when musicians can play whichever notes they wish, does that not make our world – humans and sassy talking animals alike – richer and more beautiful?

Where the preceding television series Ernest and Celestine, the Collection was animated with computers, Chheng and Roger decided to return to hand-drawn animation for Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia. Says Roger in his non-native English:

There is a kind of emotion very, very specific to the drawing. It doesn't really work when it's CG. So we wanted to keep that kind of emotion, or very artistic part, as a part of the film itself. So that's why we came back to the animation, and we work in a specific way to give freedom to animators to express the feeling of the character just by their drawing and animation.

What I think Roger is attempting to say here is that, with a hand-drawn film, character expressions lead into the audiences’ emotional intuition better than computer-generated animation. There exists an expectation, implicit or not, that CGI animation should be “more realistic” than anything hand-drawn. This expectation does not exist with hand-drawn animation, and the rawness and immediacy of the craft lends to greater emotional engagement and work from the viewer. Chheng also added in that same interview that he did not want a “heavily rendered” work, and thought it appropriate to give their animators as much artistic freedom as possible while being respectful to the original illustrations by Gabrielle Vincent. The visible brushstrokes and various pencil scribbles call attention to the animators’ handiwork, and are a homage to those original Gabrielle Vincent illustrations.

Chheng and Roger make some changes in style from the first film. The watercolor style remains, but the white voids and intentionally incomplete exterior backgrounds are gone, with more detail packed into the frame for this sequel. Foregrounds, too are more detailed than before. These changes are probably due to the new setting of Gibberitia: a mishmash of Russian, Ukrainian, Moldovan, and Central Asian influences (Roger was particularly influenced by a trip he made through northern Pakistan into China). Gibberitia is eye-popping, a visual delight, and a more captivating animated production design than in the preceding movie.

Moreso than the preceding movie, the score drives much of the narrative. Vincent Courtois returns to compose another Ernest & Celestine film, and this is a more memorable outing than the first go. Courtois builds his score around two major themes – one that represents Gibberitia and another signifying the Musical Resistance (and a theme that often is heard from EFG’s saxophone). The best integration of both themes comes in “Appel à la resistance” – a zany combination of swinging saxophone and bandoneon. The Gibberitia theme, often heard with bandoneon and winds (and what may be ethnically appropriate strings), reflects the vaguely Eastern European or Central Asian setting of Ernest’s homeland. The chord progressions of the idea resemble Eastern European folk music (“Korobeiniki”, better known as the Tetris theme, perhaps the most popular). The eleven-note Musical Resistance motif (begins at 0:09 in previous link), is integrated throughout the score, slowly revealing itself and becoming more apparent as Ernest and Celestine learn more about the musical freedom fighters banding together to oppose Gibberitia’s nonsensical musical policy.

Courtois composed the score before any writing was complete. This is contrast to what usually happens in any and all filmmaking, where the score is usually one of the last things to complete. From there, Chheng and Roger crafted their film and set the action sequences to the rhythm and contours of Courtois’ music. Music drives the way in more ways than one in Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia, making the film not just a fun watch, but a wonderful listen (and that includes the end credits song “Qu-est-ce qu’on fait de l’amour?”, composed by Courtois and performed by Pomme).

Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia may not as accomplished as the first film, but this is a charming continuation of what came before. A decade separates the two Ernest and Celestine films. One hopes a third will not be so far away, but Chheng and Roger sound content to wait for the right reasons and story to come their way. Now undoubtedly each other’s best friend, Ernest and Celestine stake their claim as the premier odd couple of modern animated cinema. Celestine’s optimistic determination and Ernest’s streetwise know-how, together, help themselves and others. Free of cynicism, they continue to grow with each other, spreading the hallmarks of their unlikely friendship along the way.

My rating: 8/10

^ Based on my personal imdb rating. My interpretation of that ratings system can be found in the “Ratings system” page on my blog. Half-points are always rounded down.

* This review is based on the original French audio with English subtitles. "Charabïe" definitely does not sound like "Gibberitia", but the word is derived from "charabia", which is French for "gibberish". Ultimately, the decision for English title lies with the original studio(s), not non-domestic distributors like GKIDS.

‡ More accurately, the slogan is, "C'est comme ça et pas autrement." More literally, this means: "It's this way and only this way."

Also in this series: Ernest and Celestine (2012, France/Belgium)

Scrapbook 2023 | Pt IV

NGL, a little heated that Tumblr's new editing bullshit has made it so I can't save more than a month at a time, so I guess I'll have monthly ones from now on.

For anyone that’s new to this, this is how I keep track of all of the things that I enjoy and/or create throughout the year. I have literally been doing this since I had a livejournal.

It’s a nice little snippet of my life and helps to organize my brain.

A reminder:

Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral Italicized font - Enjoyed bold font - Loved with an asterisk* - All time favorite (bracketed titles) - Re-watches/Re-reads strikethough - Disliked

Goals are: read 65 books, finish 4 video games, write more than 20 fics or something larger than 20k, and expand on your original novel outline to the point that you START WRITING.

Wolfhound IIC 'Grinner' (3153)

Mass: 35 tons Chassis: Unknown Power Plant: Unknown Cruising Speed: 64.8 kph Maximum Speed: 97.2 kph Jump Jets: Unknown Jump Capacity: 180 meters Armor: Unknown Armament: 1 Laser AMS 3 Medium Pulse Laser 1 ER Large Laser Manufacturer: Refit Primary Factory: Various Communication System: Unknown with ECM Targeting & Tracking System: Unknown Introduction Year: 3153 Tech Rating/Availability: F/X-X-X-X Cost: 12,185,613 C-bills

Overview The Wolfhound IIC is the rebuilt version of "Grinner", Phelan Kell's Wolfhound BattleMech. This configuration represents the 'Mech as part of the personal stable of LCAF Generalleutnant Gabriel Christopher Bisclavret von Thiess III in 3153, who was granted the 'Mech as thanks for his efforts in locating the parties responsible for stealing it in the early 32nd century. In its refit configuration, "Grinner" stood by the throne of the Archon for several years, helping the Lyran Royal Guards defend their sovereign.

Capabilities This 3130s refit configuration uses a composite internal structure and an XL engine to save weight, while also mounting six and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor, the most that can be squeezed onto the chassis. For the 'Mech's 3130s refit, a Nova CEWS suite - one of a handful of examples captured by the Lyran Commonwealth from Clan Hell's Horses raiders - provides additional defense against enemy electronics, as well as scouting and command capabilities. The head protection granted by an armored cockpit was further reinforced in the form of an armored cowl, which itself was further armored. While the full head ejection system remained, extensive balancing and adjustment was necessary to ensure the extra head armor did not interfere with the system's use.

Deployment The IIC variant of the Wolfhound is a straight improvement to the Wolfhound, with improved range, damage, and heat control. The arm-mounted Series 7K ER large laser is its most powerful and longest-range weapon, complemented by a trio of torso-mounted Kolibri Omega Series medium pulse lasers that deliver precision firepower. When the 'Mech was refit in the 3130s, an XL gyro was mounted to allow for necessary weight savings. The utilization of 10 double heat sinks, a combat computer, and improved cooling jackets on the large laser and pulse lasers are sufficient to keep heat levels in the correct range to allow maximal use of the installed Triple Strength Myomer. In addition, Gabriel added enough jump jets to allow "Grinner" to leap up to 180 meters at a time, each jet enhanced with advanced thrust vectoring to allow precise flight control and maneuverability.

History The design team tasked with rebuilding Grinner in the 3050s was initially set on using some of the weight savings of Clan technology to mount an anti-missile system in the design, but the technicians eventually decided that it would go against the Wolfhound's design specification as an all-energy weapon platform with no ammunition concerns. It was not until the 'Mech came into the use of Gabriel von Thiess that this addition was realized - the rear-mounted ER medium laser was removed, and the saved weight and space was then used to install a laser-based anti-missile system in a 360 degree rotating mount on Grinner's left shoulder. This addition fulfilled the design team's original intent of increasing the 'Mechs defensive capabilities, while still allowing "Grinner" to remain independent of ammuntion.

Így neveld a sárkányodat

Országos bemutató: 2025. június 12.

            A háromszoros Oscar-jelölt és egyszeres Arany Glóbusz-díjas Dean DeBlois-tól, a DreamWorks Animation nagysikerű Így neveld a sárkányod trilógiája mögött álló remek fantáziájú író-rendezőtől most itt van annak a filmnek a lenyűgöző, élőszereplős változata, ami útjára indította a közkedvelt sorozatot.

            A zord Hibbant-szigeten, ahol a vikingek és a sárkányok nemzedékek óta ősellenségek, Hablaty (Mason Thames; Fekete telefon, For All Mankind) kilóg a sorból. A vikingek vezérének, Pléhpofának (Gerard Butler, aki a rajzfilmekben a karakter hangja volt) leleményes de mellőzött fia szakít a sok évszázados hagyománnyal, amikor összebarátkozik Fogatlannal, a rettegett éjfúria sárkánnyal. Szokatlan szövetségük nyomán fény derül a sárkányok igazi természetére, ami alapjaiban rengeti meg a viking közösséget.

            A heves és eltökélt Astrid (a BAFTA-jelölt Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) és a falu bohókás kovácsa, Bélhangos (Nick Frost; Hófehér és a vadász, Haláli hullák hajnala) segítségével Hablaty szembeszegül a falu félelmektől és félreértésektől tépázott világával.

            Amikor egy régi veszély újra fenyegetni kezdi a vikingeket és a sárkányokat is, Hablaty barátsága Fogatlannal kulcsfontosságú lesz a jövőjük szempontjából. Együtt kell végigmenniük a békéhez vezető törékeny úton, át kell lépniük a világaik határait, és újra kell értelmezniük, mit jelent hősnek és vezetőnek lenni.

            A filmben szerepel még Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Testek), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Fojtogatva), Ruth Codd (Az éjféli klub), a BAFTA-jelölt Peter Serafinowicz (A galaxis őrzői) és Murray McArthur (Trónok harca).

            A Cressida Cowellsikerkönyvsorozata alapján a DreamWorks Animation égisze alatt készült Így neveld a sárkányodat sorozat világszerte elbűvölte a közönséget, négy Oscar-jelölést kapott, és több mint 1,6 milliárd dollár bevételt hozott világviszonylatban. Most a legmodernebb vizuális effektekkel megtámogatva DeBlois szeretett animációs sorozatát lélegzetelállító élőszereplős látványossággá varázsolja, Hablaty és Fogatlan nagyszabású kalandjait döbbenetes realizmussal kelti életre, miközben a remek páros felfedezi a barátság, a bátorság és a sors igazi jelentését.
