Prabhas' depiction of Deva's emotions:
or more specifically, their supposed 'absence'
his character was MADE to be that way.
the only emotion we've seen him feel in the present is a child-like sort of contentment (and we've only seen that around the kids) or rage.
any peace or even the ability to express any other emotion freely does not come to Deva easily.
he is currently in a state where only rage serves him any purpose, and the only thing that can come closest to giving him any joy, is when he's interacting with children.
to add on, he does have a sense of guilt attached to his violence now, even though it comes so naturally to him, because his mother has made it something that brings him shame to express but he is so familiar with the emotion, that if he's restricted from showing it, he may as well stop himself from feeling anything.
so prabhas choosing to play the character like this, including prashanth's direction of his character, is very deliberate: it takes effort (in it's own way) to act emotionless while maintaining screen presence and intensity
adding onto that, we see deva multiple times, show very nuanced, specific emotions throughout the movie:
which shows that deva (and by extension prabhas) expresses emotion, but the state he is in right now, has him "shutting off" his emotions, unless it is in regard to his mother, or varadha, and that is definitely intentional.
#he smiles like. two and a half times in the whole movie. and that's a very depressing thought.#getting technical#part 1#character analysis#devaratha raisar#i don't have a final verdict/opinion on prabhas' acting#but it definitely WAS in the room with us#salaar#prabhas

Nooo little Stanley watch out! Your striped shirt, bandage, and sad backstory are too Fallen Human Coded!! The Undertale narrative is going to get you!!!
#continuation of the one with Charaa & Fordd. The twins get separated because I thought it would be more fun. dw stanleys doing great! =)#I was thinking about soul colours and honestly I think Stanley would be red? Not because of determination (that is technically fanon)#but because he has that protagonist je ne sais quoi. Fordd would be purple imo. Perseverance but also the rigidity of its soul mechanic#kind of a wip. There's a few comic panels this were meant to go with but I liked it on its own too!#Gravity Falls#Gravity Falls Fanart#Gravity falls crossover#Undertale#utdr#crossover#Stanley Pines#Stan Pines#young stanley pines#Fan art#Fanart#Artists on Tumblr#My art#AU

I'm curious. what job would you do if money was no object (you just automatically had an income you could live comfortably on)? including work like volunteering, studying etc. please share in the tags :)
#under this premise part time work is valid too!#personally i think i'd probably study. maybe do another masters maybe part time across two years this time#if i were to do a job job i think i'd try out working in a library (ideally an academic library). which would technically be more studying#since i'd need to get a library qualification first#i'm just very curious what people would choose if it was purely a choice of what appeals to you over the practicality/necessity#talking

if you ever go to an art gallery and you see a painting and you think "that sucks. I could do that." maybe you can! I think a lot of people could do like. Matisse. Mondrian. Rothko. From a technical standpoint at least. Not everyone but a good number of people. But please consider: Artists™ aren't special people. They're just people. Just regular folks with something to say and a trained skill who showed that skill to the right people.
So instead of being like "that sucks! that's dumb! I could do that. It shouldn't be in a gallery." instead try, "I could do that. I should be in a gallery." and then do it and go and show your art to people.
#do a master study#how did it look? pretty okay? cool u have the technical skillset. find something to say with ur art. say it. go show it to people.#good is so so so subjective and '''technical''' '''mastery''' is meaningless ultimately#I am still beefing with Damien Hirst tho if you're Damien Hirst this post is not about you#get better at taxidermy Damien

The cult of...Danny Fenton?
So! Way back when Danny first moved into his new neighborhood in Gotham, he had some trouble controlling his Powers. The different Types and Levels of Ectoplasm in the air when compared to Amity had thrown off his control.
He was used to being in places where his Ectoplasm meshed well with the Atmosphere, like a Water Balloon in a Pool, but in Gotham that analogy would be closer to a Water Balloon in the sewers. It was too different from what he was used to to fully control his Powers.
So it's understandable that he messed up a few times and his neighbors found out about his Abilities.
They took it well at first, Danny wasn't going to go Rogues or anything, and he never used them maliciously, but eventually they got curious.
They asked what his limits were, how he got them in the first place, and what the hell the Ghost Zone was. The answers "None Really", "I died and was reborn", and "A Collective of every Afterlife at once" did spark some interesting reactions from them.
Most importantly, a few of them joked about him being an Eldritch God that they needed to worship. He was good enough friends with them that at that point they felt comfortable pranking eachother, so they did just that.
Danny woke up one day on his birthday, and saw all of his friends and neighbors surrounding the makeshift Throne they had made and put him on while he was asleep. The entire day they chanted stuff like "The Great One requires Ms. Smiths Apple Pie for his day of birth!" And "The Great One Wishes for us to sing the Ritual Song! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birth-"
After his birthday, they kept up the joke.
It didn't help that his powers had evolved Again! And now he could bestow abilities onto his friends. The jokes they made about their God granting them Supernatural Powers to rule the world with were insufferable.
Then, one day while he was just resting at home, watching a movie on his TV, he felt a Pull at his Core. The same kind of Pull whenever he was being summoned. But why would they summon hi- Oh Shit! It's Mr Jenkins Party today! He was supposed to meet them at the Warehouse they used for special events an Hour Ago!
He quickly accepted the Summoning, but was met with a suprising sight. His Neighbors all tied up in a pile to his right, a spilled table of party food to his left, and right in front of him, Batman and his Family watching him with wary eyes.
Slowly, he opened his mouth. "...so, did you come for the party or..."

the colorgrading in Salaar
the coloring of salaar is very high contrast, and leans heavily towards warmer tones
and even though this may not be visually pleasing to some who don't prefer these specific aesthetics, it is very necessary, in order to frame this universe to seem as oppressive and grim as it is meant to look.
this universe (and also kgf) are universes where every single moment, whether centering around a relationship, or part of the backstory, is blanketed by the theme of sheer violence and loss.
movies with a dark storyline and vibrant colors (for example, baahubali, or rrr) can afford to be colored like that, because we're MEANT to enjoy the lighter aspects of the universe as well. the audience has to experience even the softer emotions and any festivity happening within the universe.
the effects used in salaar are required to immerse the audience in that kind of dark, saturated environment:
so the audience doesn't forget – especially in scenes with the absence of any onscreen violence – the grit of this place and the people within it.
the severity of the violence depicted and the magnitude of the world building doesn't matter – if the audience isn't able to effortlessly accept that this is a fantasy, dystopian setting.
it should also be noted that the movie has no moments where we're forced to sit through that classic mistake some movies make: the 'night blindness' coloring. where, in the interest of depicting a physically/metaphorically dark place, the audience's visibility of the scene is restricted the subtle lighting of these dark scenes has been handled well:
additionally, prashanth and the actors have also specified, that the whole universe and all motives within it, rely partly, if not completely on violence – especially deva's character, whose violence is something that's an integral part of him, so his scenes in particular are very warm, tone-wise
but i do think the movie overall has been balanced well to prevent them from having a strictly monotonous look (something that guntur kaaram received criticism for):
the main purpose of the film's artistic choices with coloring and contrast is to subconsciously drag the audience's perspective out of reality & into the darkness of it's make-believe world, and it does achieve that
even though consciously, it may not align with people's aesthetic preferences.

[Image description: digital art of Bill Cipher, tangled up in electrical wires. He has a nervous expression, as he holds up a ripped wire and says: "Oops!" There's a glitchy effect behind him. End ID.]

just saw on the hbomb subreddit that james somerton briefly reactivated his twitter and changed the name to agayraconteur, then 8 hrs later deleted it again because people were noticing, so. everyone who went all in on "he'll keep popping up again and again in new forms" cash your bets in now LMAO
edit: hey yall this post is very out of date but has been getting spikes of notes since the second apology video so i'm gonna be marking it unrebloggable
#james somerton#google tells me a raconteur in someone who tells anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way#which uh. wrong on literally all 3 counts#or well i guess google doesnt specify that it has to be your own anecdotes so i guess he gets one out of three on a technicality#bigger gibbers
