[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]
Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.
And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.
Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

if you squint a little, the bit with the kristen clone that's super slender and girly (and british-accented for some reason) is a metaphor/joke for how fandoms will misinterpret a female character to make them more palatable. even if they consider themselves progressive they're still forcing her into the box of stereotypical feminine traits that do not fit her and have basically made an entirely new character

The Mario movie thing is so funny to me. Here, look at this:
Sonic movies (1, 2, & w/ 3 on the way) come out, does INCREDIBLE in box office, decimates Marvel films, who previously had a stranglehold
Nintendo sees this, wants a piece of that pie, buckles down to make a Mario movie Incorrect order of events, as pointed out here! Mario movie announced before the public knew about Sonic movie.
(Potentially because the previous Mario movie was so out there, did poorly, & was disliked by fans & then promptly forgotten,) they pair with Illumination, a studio that is largely known for making very sterile films
Btw, is it just me that finds it weird that there is no mention from Nintendo or online of the previous movie, in all this? Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this film idk
They announce casting. Everyone immediately boos because they cast Chris Pratt as Mario.
Immediate outrage, as Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario for DECADES, was not cast in his claim to fame roll
There is a (unsourced) rumor that a test screening for the film was met with disappointment, making Nintendo unhappy
Slightly corroborating this, Nintendo buys Dynamo Pictures, to make Nintendo Pictures, with the intent to make future movies in-house
Anticipation for the movie likens it to other sterile animated movies of the last 10 years, like the Minions movies
Trailer comes out.
People continue to boo Chris Pratt, a bad cast for a beloved character who is putting 0 effort into his voice, in comparison to all other VAs putting in 110%
Chris Pratt goes to bed "depressed," at seeing the response I was incorrect, that is an older article, about when he was thanking his wife for providing a healthy child, to which people drew immediate parallels to his ex-wife's son, who has many health complications & needed many surgeries.
But with your help, we can make him being depressed after media backlash reality!
Lol, &, may I say, lmao.

gwyn and dea through the years :D [full id under cut]
ID: The first drawing (1690) shows Gwynplaine as a child, carrying the baby Dea wrapped in a coat in his arms. He has long yellow hair, and is wearing only a ragged pair of breeches. His feet are bare and bloody. The labels read:
[Skin] tans easily
Adult man's coat
Adult man's breeches
[Joints] hypermobile; frequent joint pain (especially in bad weather)
[Feet] severely scarred
The second (1695) shows Gwynplaine as a youth and Dea as a small child; Gwynplaine is holding Dea's hand. Gwynplaine is wearing an oversized shirt, sleeveless doublet, and breeches. Dea has curly auburn hair and is wearing a simple greyish dress. The labels pointing to Gwynplaine read:
Ursus's shirt
Ursus's breeches
[Shoes] much too big
Still refusing to let Ursus cut his hair (bad sensory experience and dislikes anyone coming near his face)
Ursus's doublet with the sleeves cut off
The labels pointing to Dea read:
Reddish hair until she got older
[Dress] made by Ursus out of an old blanket
Cloth wraps rather than shoes
The third (1700) shows Gwynplaine as a teenager and Dea as a girl; they are standing side by side. Gwynplaine is wearing the same outfit as before but with the inclusion of a red necktie and light hose, and his hair is shorter. Dea is wearing a blue dress. The labels pointing to Gwynplaine read:
Ursus's doublet with the sleeves cut off
Finally submitted to a haircut (very reluctantly)
Same shoes (slightly better-fitting now)
The labels pointing to Dea read:
Skin burns easily
Bitten fingernails
[Dress] most expensive single thing Ursus had ever bought
The fourth (1705) shows Gwynplaine as a young man and Dea as a young woman. Gwynplaine is wearing a green waistcoat, red breeches, and a leather esclavine, and his hair is longer. Dea is wearing a white shirt, a blue dress, and the same necktie Gwynplaine was wearing in the previous drawing; her hair is also longer and darker. The labels pointing to Gwynplaine read:
[Hair] gets very light in summer
[Hair] greying
[Hands] very calloused
New shoes!
The labels pointing to Dea read:
[Necktie] used to be Gwynplaine's [smiley face emoji]
Very visible veins
New shoes!
End ID.
