LAIOS IS NOT DUMB! He is not a himbo, he is not some child, and he’s not completely inept.

Other than Marcille he’s the smartest in the party, he has the same intelligence rating as Kabru and Falin. He’s a fucking monster expert!? He also is canonically a bookworm! He carries books around in his fucking armor. He learned magic incredibly fast. He’s not stupid he’s just not super afraid to make mistakes, he tries everything out because he likes to learn! He’s kinda aloof and easily distracted but honestly all the things that people call him dumb for are symptoms of neurodivergence (which he’s pretty much completely agreed to be by the fandom. I’d personally argue Audhd). Y’all are just infantilizing the hell out of him. He gets the entire party out of shit so many times and you boil him down because my boy has a little whimsy.

these comments were under a post made by someone to remember their little sister passing away at a young age.

and just... what. the hell. what is wrong with antis.

I can't describe the feeling of disgust I got from reading the second comment. How can you even think this is an okay thing to say about someone you don't know?

As an artist, I am really sick of the recent and increasingly agreed upon rhetoric that live action just “hits harder” than animation. I have been hearing this a lot from people especially in regards to the live action How to Train Your Dragon and I just???? No it doesn’t???

The thing is, when you make any piece of art, the media you use is can be integral to how the art is received. For example, I think traditional painting is often received by audiences as more professional than digital. I think the same goes for movies and audiences tend to assume that animated film is for younger audiences and live action is more mature.

Anyone can have any opinion they want about live action or animation but don’t say animation doesn’t hit as hard when hundreds of hours went into designing those characters and manipulating every aspect of the final product until it was exactly what the artists wanted it to be. Drawing and animating is difficult work and everything that is presented is intentional. It took the animators years to study light and color and shape and movement and anatomy to make something as beautiful as HTTYD just for audiences to say it had a greater impact in live action.

The reason this make me so angry is because artists are already having their work stolen by corporations using AI so people without the patience and dedication to study the craft or those who don’t feel like hiring artists can poorly and cheaply imitate in seconds mastery that is earned over years. Corporations are then remaking animated masterpieces as live action. For HTTYD, Lilo and Stitch, and the thankfully shelved live action tangled, it’s especially jarring because I am a relatively young person and still older than two of those movies and they are already being remade. It is not the same as Cinderella, Maleficent, or some of the other live action remakes where the source animation has existed for several generations (and the source material existed for centuries), these animated films were made within one lifetime and are already being remade into live action cash grabs.

The original HTTYD is one of the films that inspired me to become an artist and it’s really disheartening to see it be recreated so soon.

Also, I want to be very clear that my frustration has nothing to do with the casting of the movie, it only has to do with seeing animation and art in general be gutted and devalued more and more often for the sake of profit.

Did Nintendo really think it was fine to talk about how Rauru was recognized for his "heroic deeds" by the other tribes in Hyrule and that they "peacefully" accepted his ascension to the throne he created...while he also had a cache of nukes called the Secret Stones? What heroic deeds? The sealing of demons? Who were these demons exactly and where did they come from? Were they not originally from the depths, the same depths that were strip mined? The same strip mines that are conveniently placed under all the villages in Hyrule? How about all the other weapons the Zonai developed? Surely the tribes unified under Hyrule solely because they truly believed Rauru to be peaceful and heroic, there must be no other reason they would feel compelled to submit. On the other hand, you have the Gerudo who have their land and kingdom which has withstood the ages, whose martial culture has allowed them to protect themselves and allowed their kingdom to flourish and advance. How strange it must be, really, to be wary that a Zonai who has nuking powers in his hand, who had gone around Hyrule erecting shrines with a conveniently placed effigy of himself and his wife granting blessing in said shrines, suddenly decides to form a kingdom under his rule and consolidate all the land’s power into his hands. The Gerudo's wariness of Hyrule is totally unwarranted when Rauru sends countless invitations suggesting that the Gerudo renounce their kingdom and join Hyrule as a vassal state...peacefully of course. The fortifications Hyrule erects conveniently alongside the Gerudo borders is nothing of concern because Rauru's kingdom is about peace, unlike the Gerudo who are about war only. Rauru using his nuke-like power to wipe out a Molduga attack is totally not a show of excessive force to dissuade the Gerudo from resisting and to compel them into joining Hyrule. Rauru deeming Ganondorf an evil being and deserving of being kept close like a dog on a leash despite his eventual show of fealty is totally not the final nail in the coffin of trampling over the Gerudo's sovereignty. Ganondorf's innate distrust of Hyrule should be treated as a symptom of his evil nature, exacerbated by the fact that he is a freak of nature born with round ears that mark him as an enemy of god, and not as a valid concern that a king should have when a neighbouring kingdom is trying to force him into submission. It's funny how Hyrule's founding is treated as this ideal flourishing kingdom of peace and light when the Gerudo have had a kingdom for far longer, flourishing under their own strength. Why isn't the kingdom of the Gerudo spoken of with praise, when they were said to be more advanced than other tribes, when they notably did not enforce their rule on anyone else, when their motive was to protect themselves and their people? If Ganondorf already had a powerful kingdom at his behest, and if his motive was truly *only* steeped in greed and power, why didn't he do anything *before* Rauru came to power? Was Ganondorf not a hero to his people? Did he not protect his land and earn his title? Why is he being forced to relinquish it, and why is his desire to eliminate the kingdom that forced his submission considered inherently evil? 

To be honest, considering Nintendo is a multi-billion dollar company who certainly has the resources, the fact that they decided to put this sort of lore in an artbook considering today’s political climate and thought nothing wrong of using this to showcase just how good and heroic Rauru is and how bad, evil, and selfish Ganondorf is is truly offensive. It is so overt, you simply cannot look at this and say “oh it’s just fiction that was created in a vacuum”. 

Anyways, when I said Ganondorf was a force of resistance I was right.

KAIBA HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT YUUGI HAS THE BRAINS OF A CHILD AND THEN TAKE THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE AND TAKE IT TO SPACE FOR THE AI TO SOLVE IT AND EVEN THEN IT WILL ONLY BE SOLVED IN SIX HOURS.

WHILE YUUGI TOOK EIGHT CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF TRIAL AND ERROR TO SOLVE THE MILLENNIUM PUZZLE, AND ONCE HE SOLVED THE PUZZLE IT ONLY TOOK HIM EIGHT MINUTES TO PUT IT TOGETHER AGAIN.
