I was watching a video of someone breaking down the lyrics of Wish and why fundamentally they don’t work; but the whole thing angers me because it Could have worked if they just went with their original idea to Begin with. I’ve mentioned before that they should have gone with Star Boy but the songs in Wish REALLY emphasize WHY that sentiment rings true. Because “At All Costs” was SUPPOSED to be a duet between Asha and Star Boy because the whole thing sounds like a lovers lullaby and him wanting to love Asha “as a human does” per say. But now it’s just Asha and Magnifico singing to a bunch of crystal balls which loses most of the emphasis that song was trying to portray in the First place (not to mention how Stupid it is that the wishes are just crystal balls like this is where the 2d animation would have stood out).
Now, “I’m a Star!” Just needs to be entirely scrapped and reworked cause they could have used the song to show how Star Boy thinks and feels about things upon his initial introduction cause I’d presume that Star Boy would probably be someone very upbeat and excitable, but incredibly naïve about how the world works at the same time.
And “This is the Thanks I Get?!” COULD have really worked if they went with this plan as well cause Magnifico is supposed to be feeling unappreciated and disrespected and if Asha were his daughter and going against him cause of her feelings for Star Boy and how Magnifico was handling the wishes then That makes sense. But in the film we got, the town already seems to respect him and he doesn’t really have a reason for the way he acts which is why his switch to villain seems so abrupt.
Also the lyrics, rhythm and cadence would need a Drastic change but that would probably be Disney needing to just fire Julia Michaels and going with someone who’s Profession is making lyrics for Musical Theater instead of pop songs cause all these lyrics are just “ohh wishes!” “Ohhh stars!” And whatnot instead of building up Anything narratively. (Cause even though Lin Manuel Miranda has kinda become a meme at this point he still Knows how lyrics should build a story. Except for the Scuttlebutt but that’s just a one off thing that was truly Terrible). But hey, this is just me ranting on something that I should be letting go at this point but whatever 🤷♀️
(Also it bothers me that Disney was like “oh we can’t have Asha have a romantic interest in 2023 how can we show she’s a strong lead in 2023 if there’s a love interest!” Even though there’s Plenty of ways to do that with the two building off each other in a natural way and the fact that Asha doesn’t really have a character arc Anyways and her being Magnifico’s daughter would have made this work as well cause she’d have to choose between her feelings for Star Boy and going against her parents wishes just UHG I’m so pressed can someone make a Wish fixed fanfic so I can read that instead please?! Thank you.)

『THE ICE 2022 Full Broadcast on Nitere Plus 』|| Uno Shoma interview 11.09.2022
"Top skaters from all around the world gathered for the first time in 3 years. And a collaboration between Uno Shoma and Nathan Chen!" THE ICE 2022 will be broadcasted on 18th September at 7 PM JST.
"Hello, this is Uno Shoma. THE ICE 2022 Aichi Performance will be broadcasted on NiTere Plus."
Q. What kind of Ice Show was THE ICE 2022 this time?
Shoma: "I think it was a great show where so many top athletes from overseas got together. I was also able to do a collaboration with Nathan Chen and I think it became something really good. The overall atmosphere of this ice show, rather than the sense of unity where Japanese shows usually have, it was an ice show where everyone's personality came through strongly. Everyone is also really friendly in the backstage so it was very fun for the ones doing it as well. And I hope people who have been watching, enjoyed us having fun too.”
Q. How was your programs?
Shoma: “My program, well, I still think about going on as a competitor so, I'm performing my free program for this year. At the competition venue, jumps became the main thing now so the jumps are the main thing for the free program as well. Although there aren't many athletes who raise the difficulty of jumps in ice shows, but as for me, how to put it, I want to show even if it's only a little. Depending on the person I think it might be about spins or expression instead of jumps, but as for this free program, I think it would make it most worth seeing if I was doing a performance similar to the competition. I'll continue doing it preferably without any injuries.”
"Please watch it on NiTere Plus."

Broppy Capture AU, where Branch didn’t confess after World Tour, but a love confession when all hope seems lost is just what they need to free themselves from Velvet and Veneer.

I always forget that autodesk sketchbook has a timelapse option 😔✌️
I am the type of artist who sketches everything on the same layer and would rather clean the sketch endlessly than do lineart. My friends always say I'm a madman for doing that but it's just so relaxing to me they don't get me
quick reminder that while lester was literally laying on the floor dying, he decided to sing a duet of "sweet caroline" with a talking arrow only he could hear
While we were competing, for the past four years, I kept chasing Nathan, or rather, one of my goals in my competitive life now is to become an athlete like Nathan.
