yoshi is pretty cute, okay? thats my reason to make this insted of sleeping, and thats why it’s only some sketches

i was thinking in the fact that one shy guy gave Bowser a yoshi egg in his wedding. is it normal to gave them as presents?? is it a pricey gift to be given at special events like weddings?

man idk, but it’s a cute concept that i hoped someone else had in mind but with some sprinkles of Bowuigi bc i can’t get the ship out of my head. Imagine Bowser giving a yoshi egg to Luigi as a present and as a way to see if he might be a potential mama to bowser jr and the koopalings, i mean, Luigi literally tucks Yoshi in to sleep and tells him stories of his adventures

So Nimona is like The Princess Mononoke if San was the Spirit of the Forest and the Emperor was the Lady of Iron Town Lady and if Ashitaka was San's father figure instead of her love interest and if he was in love with Lady Iron Town's body guard dude.

Is that about right?

Amy's son (and just Amy in general)

Alex's childish behaviors (in a fully positive way)

How the SMS scenes are made with Henry physically present

New Years's scene's eye-contact moment

Ellen Claremont President Mom

Nicholas Galitzine singing "Don't Stop Me Now"

The Lake Scene.

Having Henry's POV for the lake scene and after they broke up

Henry underwater metaphor

"If I Loved You", by Vagabon

Henry and Bea's talk in the park (that means a lot)

Bea's cheerful and supportive personality

The Museum Scene (Henry's monologue and the dance)

Zahrra's call to Shaan for Alex and Henry

Alex and Henry's hug in the stairs

The King being more protective for his grandson and family than intolerant and cold (he's still problematic and not supportive in his talk, but at least he acknowledges their love for each other; and he's funny; and he made Philip to shut up. twice.)

Henry being out and proud in front of the people gathered at the palace

"Fruit", by Oliver Sim (and Philip's clip for the ending credits)

That movie was great.

When you finaly reorganize your books and discover you have a phantom of the opera book

Since when do I have this? I don't know.

Where did it came from? Seems like from a school I went to before, but I have no memory of borrowing it. It could have been my mom since she worked there that one time.

Her response? She also does not know.

.... what a way to start this book

Lisha, Queen of Oscardia

Yes, I still drew Lisha, Cedric's partner and Amaya's stepmother. Due to envy, she tried to emulate the appearance of Amaya's mother with magic (so yes, she is the evil witch), but she was never able to copy the essence.

I love how most of the complaints about Lucy's portrayal in Hollywood adaptations are directed at Coppola

I mean, maybe it's due to the mayority of young people refusing to watch a movie that's older than the 00', let alone the 90'.

or maybe it's that none of the previous adaptations of Dracula had the guts on naming itself "BRAM STOKER'S Dracula" while definitely NOT BEING Bram Stoker's Dracula...

May the 4th be with you!

(2023)ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ-ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ(2016)

I was 13 when I drew that (horribly) and posted it also for may the fourth back in 2016. The Force Awakens had just come out and I looooved Rey.

Just wanted to remake that :).

[and-i-still-dont-get-it]

So, I just fucking reconized a japanese voice actor... By his voice, in a fucking random anime!

10 years fighting to not be a weeaboo and the first anime I watch, the second (ok it took me 6 episodes to be sure) I hear his voice I'm like "yep thats him".

And I reconized him from Free! I didn't even like Free! I watched to humor a friend, because she thought it would be dumb to watch it alone with Makoto's Body pillow and... urrghh....

[so-you-melted-22]

NANA the (shitty) movie review

For some very obscure reasons I decided to watch the movie NANA and I wanna dissolve my brain so instead I'm gonna complain.

Update: I don't understand how but it came to my attention that I watched a cropped version, with many missing beats and soundtrack so ... pinch of salt on this review I guess (I still hated it tho it was just not as shitty)

I cannot explain how bad this movie is.

In the manga, even if Nana is straightforward, she is kind and interested in Hachi and her stories, but in the movie she shows no sign of interest or care for her, and suddenly, they are friend, you don't know how or why, they didn't Become friend, they just Are at some point.

First of all NANA the manga is all about emotions, compassion, liking and understanding people even if they have flaws, profound and various relationships. Every character and relationship is complex even with the ones you don't see as much like Satchiko, Asami or Jun... In the movie the characters are not explored at all, I want to kick every one of them! You can't like them, let alone understand them. If they have chosen to do lighter characters due to the lack of time, wich I can understand, they could have made more likeable one at least, because as it is, you can't even understand how anyone dated or became friend. I mean it.

Hachi, who normally is a very warm, joyful and adorable character, even if she is sometimes self-centered or have frivolous interest, is now someone deeply uninteresting, who cries and throws tantrums over nothing.

I won't go in details on how they transformed Shoji from someone loyal and devoted to his relationship, even if it's a complicated one, who resent himself deeply for cheating on Hachi and did it only out of profound love for Satchiko, to some mean jerk who doesn't really like or care about Hachi and cheated with the first girl he saw basically.

Another thing (among thousands but I don't have time for every characters) is when Hachi first describe Ren as someone cold and distant saying he scars her, Nana is laughing her ass off because he's not like that at all. Ren loves animes, jokes, he always says whatever comes to his mind, talks rubbish, you never see him being mean to anyone. There is a big gap between the two descriptions. But in the movie, Ren is precisely cold and quiet so no gap. But Nana still laughs and you don't understand why and they never come back on that point.

Wich brings me to my next point: they just took important scenes of the manga (when they succed to recreate them tho, wich is rarely if never) and put them next to the others without explanations or link, I personally automatically field in the blanks with the manga but I tried to imagine without reading it and it doesn't make much sense.

They cut out a lot of important scenes and character development because they didn't had time, I can understand, but in this case why did they keep 3 long scenes of Hachi at work? It has no importance in the movie whatsoever, they even kept a scene where her boss tells her he wants a rendez-vous, it's relevant in the manga because, yes, her job is shitty but her life is detailed, not in the movie, and yes, you guessed it, another scene that will never be addressed again.

Apart from the scenario, the acting is freacking BAD. It looks like a middle school play (it's me being kind) there is no emotions !! The cast are like robots that learns their sentences by heart. Combine to the shitty realisation, it's kind of hilarious in it's own sense. (I'm, for example, thinking about the scene when Satchiko meets Hachi at the bar. Hachi says Shoji's name one time and proceed to talk about him without saying his name again, but Satchiko comes, a minute later, dropping her plate, straight as a ramrod, in front of their table. But how did she knew she was talking about him? or does that mean she heard her, came to their table and droped the glass in front of them on purpose??). Even when Ren went to Tokyo and he's suppose to cry, like CRY, proof that he's human and sad to leave his group, and friends for trapnest, and Nana drop to the floor crying, it's a terrible scene of separation. But here, Nana passively falls down and is a bit sad, and Ren dropped a tiny tear, it is Ridiculous. One more time, combined to the fact we didn't see how profound their relationship was, and how they depicted Nana as a toxic, obsessed girl, literally placing Ren under lock and key without his consent.

Next, NANA is a manga about MUSIC. This is the very point of the manga and should the movie. There is 3 songs created for this movie, and each one of them is perfectly Disgusting. I'm not an expert in music but if those songs are punk I would eat my hat. They are pukingly ridiculous lullaby sang by an actor who doesn't know how to Fucking SING!!! Excuse my language, but how can you do a movie about music, with bad songs badly interpretated?? And even if we don't talk about blast's and trapnest's songs, because idk, maybe you would like it, maybe it's just my tastes (which I highly doubt). It is a 2 (2) Hours movie Without SCORE!! The best we have is miserable piano notes two time in the WHOLE movie. HOW CAN YOU MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT MUSIC WITHOUT MUSIC??

Last but not least the estetic. Or should I say the lack of estetic in that. Damn. Movie. NANA, like any other Ai Yazawa's work, is really estetic the hair, the clothes, the decoration of the flat... There is colors, there's details, it's very alive! Here all they know is black and white. Nana wears simple black outfits, one red skirt and the red dress from her meeting with Ren. Hachi wears ridiculous black and white outfits, all the clothes of everyone are HIDEOUS. The apartment 707 is supposed to be their Home, where they imagine each other when they are stressed, and it is a home especially for Nana who doesn't have one, it's decorated with vintage and homemade furniture, it's full of love! Here, it is just a white room with no decorations, it is so white and lifeless it looks like a hospital, a very old ugly hospital. The only light the production had to have was a very bright white Led. Like those of a freaking operation table, wich doesn't help the hospital look of the flat. When they're supposed to be outside at night it's lighten by this thing (wich reminds the budget of the middle school play I was talking about earlier). When they are suppose to be magically lit by the moonlight only, it's the Led, at Jackson bar, it's the Led, in ren's apartment (ho my! I didn't talk about the exposed-concrete-abandoned-ripped-curtain-empty-dirty basement Ren is living in, in wich they put The whitest, shiniest bathtub, the one with the golden-cat-paw that belongs in the apartment 707) it's still the Led. It. Is. Always. The. Led. They didn't even bother to put a yellow or pink fabric on it common! Of course I could not talk about the inexistant estetic of the movie without talking about the Glasses™. The supposedly super cute, iconic, strawberry glasses, symbol of their friendship. They are stupidly ugly. I wouldn't buy them and God knows I love strawberry and stupid cute stuff. They had the exact dress, the exact wood burner and other stuff but not THE Glasses?

There is a lot of points I didn't address because it's already a long post. But I'll say I lack words to describe how bad this movie is and I am not kidding when I say its only existence on internet is an insult to Ai Yazawa.
