we watched zone of interest last night and i thought it was a beautiful, well done, and harrowing film.

you can tell a lot of the criticisms for the film are based around the fact that people misconstrue "romanticism" with showcasing how terrible people can continue living normal lives in the face of atrocities - which isn't anything different from your average citizen, it's just that the involvement levels are different.

the unfortunate thing is that terrible people are capable of living normal lives; they fight about their husbands jobs relocating them, they grow gardens, they tell their children bedtime stories - what people dislike about this is that it forces you to remember that every person is capable of the same under certain circumstances, and that kindness is a choice.

#zone of interest #i thought it was beautiful and thoughtful and harrowing #like it was genuinely a wonderfully done movie showcasing just how much people can force themselves to ignore and pretend to be ignorant of #like hedwig arguing with hoss about not being able to stay in their home that is literally in a fenced off corner of auschwitz #the way they were fighting about it felt like something a normal couple would argue about - because to them in some regard #they were a normal couple - the dialogue all felt so natural which added to the horror of whats going on. here's the summer garden and our #pool - meanwhile hedwigs mother flinching every time she hears the guns and dogs because she's not used to it but hedwig isnt phased #she's more so annoyed by the sounds

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks #but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds #it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget #that we as the audience never got to see #in the vein of the too-little characters complaint #another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies #like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service #i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related #nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems #(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing #what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes #which had eps that skip around in the show #did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps #like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters #answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf #prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope #when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create #in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it #the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them #it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast #i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters #but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in #(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

“Oh but listening to mario noises for an hour would be so annoying!”

have you ever played any mario game in your life.

#for gods sake most games don’t have ANY audio dialogue in them (i believe? at least the classics. i didn’t have Nintendo #but my mom has a ton of nostalgia for mario games since she’s a child of the 80s #which is why I’m so adamant about this. my mother deserves a nice mario movie and i REFUSE to let chris ruin that for her.#chances are you’re watching the movie if you liked the games #and if you liked the games then surely you can handle a few sound effects.#honestly I’d take ten hours of mario ‘wahoo’s over a minute of chris pratt’s flavorless character voice.#TLDR the games have multiple hours of JUST mario sound effects w no audio dialogue youll be fine #and also. listening to chris pratt is way more annoying than listening to mario jumping sounds #mario movie #cringe fail chris pratt #🤡.txt

Lahabrea possessed Thancred before this questline even started which means these are back to back Laha interactions. Here is how he greets the WoL in the Waking Sands immediately after his Disney villain introduction.

Meanwhile in Minfilia's solar:

presumably he took a brief break from running Alphinaud's errands to go dramatically laugh at the WoL

#enjoying all this with Pandaemonium context #there is a lot to unpack here #OK LETS GO PANEL 1 #based on the follow up he's really just testing out the person who killed ifrit - not too different from elidibus' test later.#he comes across as goofy but i gotta ask if he taunted panda critters the same way before experiments #moreever hydaelyn is busy going “Eeeeeevvvilllll!!!” in your ear while laha chatters #I assumed this was direct line to the WoL consciousness the first time #but based on 5.2 she might just be bullhorning to anyone with ancient powers which means lahabrea is listening to her shout “eeeevviilllll”#hilarious I hope that is what was happening #PANEL 2 #not shown is laha opening with “oh hi <player name>”#like he sounds more like panda laha here than almost anywhere else nearly #in which of these two panels is he acting more I ask???#I'm thinking its an even split per emet-selchs reckoning of his lost personality #if he could hold out as long as he does hanging out there in the Waking Sands hall then #it becomes very easy to see emet-selch felt like he was getting enough sanity out of him at the time. hes surprisingly functional #in spite of that intro #PANEL 3 #we were SO ROBBED to miss alphinaud investigating ascians with lahabrea. so robbed #alphinaud is still unsocialized at this point so extra annoying to laha for sure #thinking about how lahabrea acted around themis in the far past fills in a few blanks. can draw a couple of parallels perhaps #rotating that thought #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn #lahabrea #alphinaud #minfilia #ffxivedit #gamingedit

ppl keep saying tallulah is "choosing" phil over wilbur bro can you shut the fuck up seriously like yes shes upset w him bc hes not there but like thats not his fault 💀 and she literally said that hes famous too like she knows why he isnt there 💀 she has every right to be upset w him but spreading the narrative that shes choosing phil over him is so stupid and unfair to all 3 of their characters. its honestly ridiculous bc we all know he would be there if he could, and canonically he was upset when he found out she was gone. its not like he doesnt care abt her ???? like thats so fucking stupid. also the idea that hes a deadbeat is stupid too bc its canon that lovejoy is FUNDING THE FEDERATION and therefore the island like what ????????? ur ridiculous.

#theyre turning against q!wil just like they did to c!wil #they have to have a villain and hes always at the end of it like its not his fault???#i hate the narrative that hes a deadbeat so bad bro #ALSO not everything has to be an angst opportunity....#like i saw someone say “what if she stops dressing like wil and starts dressing more like phil” SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP OH MY GODDDD #project ur angst onto other characters omfg like what is wrong with you seriously #like idc if this sounds harsh tbh this is my blog and i am upset abt it LMFAOOO I DONT CAREEE #its so fucking annoying to always have to be defending a character that shouldnt even have to be defended in the first place #just enoughhh omfg #q!wilbur #wilbur soot #qsmp #qsmp tallulah #qsmp philza #qsmp wilbur #q!philza #q!tallulah

As I said I would, I drew my oc with yours my beloved @clawdouobit

My pretty girl likes to infodump your pretty girl about the smallest things. She's like a reel, talks a lot but most of it is meaningless.

Close ups and more info because I can't shut up ehtier under the cut <3

20 years old and engaged to a half-foot. They're waiting to gain some more money to get married and leave the dungeon. Note: they're best friends but idk if what they have going on is truly romantic love or just a very good friendship.

Quite skilled at upper levels, but wouldn't go to lesser levels. She isn't skilled enough to make her party survive there.

Her race is a mix between gnome and half-foot. Idk if that's possible but I don't think it's not.

If I had to guess, she's 13/14 on half-foot standars. It's unclear whether she's an adult or not, but she's preety mature most of the time. Most.

Flushed cheeks always. Also very pale.

She's 109 cms tall, a lot more than avarage on haflings, but lot less than avarage on gnomes. Since she hangs out mostly with haflings, she's a giant woman. This gives her some problems with traps so her BMI is 18 due to diet.

Fwens with Shahad. Who knows why tho. We gotta figure that out ;}

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi oc #dungeon meshi oc #never thought i'd make an oc for a fandom again but here am i #shahad is so cool #she wears pretty jewlery #i love her design so much #but i hate drawing kobolds ooouugh i struggled but did it :')#they're so fwens #the divorced traumatized kobold and the little to-be braid she found while dungeoning #pimpacci can shut up when asked. for about 10 minutes at least.#i have 2 other dunmeshi ocs i made alongside her but i think Shaad would get along better with Pimpacci #because she's really kind and caring. but doesnt realizes her talking can get tyring/annoying.#while making her i noticed all haflings cover their necks on the dungeon. i wonder why. i gave her a scarf to match the thing #shaad #pimpacci lukes #i had so many trouble coming up with her name #i had to make it sound like two names mended together that don't tire the tounge because its too long to say it..#she gets really annoyed when someone calls her “Pim” because of cultural things.#also. she's often infintilized. many hafling don't know she's a mixed race. so she just looks taller and more childish than others her age #it doesn't bother her. she doesn't realizes most of the time. she doesnt infintilizes herself on purpose. she's just younger on perspective #yay #i need shahad and pim to have late night hours talks. it would be so interesting..#i should be asleep lol #my oc #my art #i've made a mistake on shahad eye colour... too late but... grr ...

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

#replies #novella november #long rambly tags to follow lol #including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit #ominous october #this is what my novella november is going to be #something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU #but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would #be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original #so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name #everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun #and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the #creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems #if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is #not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound #progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh #what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir #so her husband can take power #instead of just straight up telling your husband #'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb #and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful #theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check #cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them #while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality

i made some cute little wip chibi sprites of some vocaloid, utauloid and fanloid characters :)

the characters from left to right, top to bottom are: hatsune miku rin and len kagamine teto kasane momone momo zatsune miku akita neru shiteyanyo nakao/larval rin

#vocaloid #utau #utauloid #fanloid #hatsune miku #rin kagamine #len kagamine #teto kasane #momone momo #zatsune miku #akita neru #shiteyanyo #nakao #larval rin #i just realised rin's hair is probably facing the wrong way oops #ahhh well #i'll fix it later #these are wips anyway #i should make chimera teto and tako luka #just found out teto's gender is actually chimera #that's so real shoutout to chimeragender teto #i love how teto got so popular that she's officially found her way into project diva that is SO cool!#i think neru appears as a character in that game too #i remember a lot of people finding teto's voice to be really annoying back in my day but you know what? i think her voice sounds really coo #even her first voicebank i really like #she sounds like a robot and i really love that direction they took with her voice #even in her later releases and when she's tuned really realistically she can still sound robotic and i LOVE IT #i like the later vocaloid releases and the amazing tuning people do with them but they don't really have that digital sound that-#-captivated me so much as a kid and i kinda wish there were more recent songs where people tuned them to sound more like robots #V1 and V2 vocaloid will always have a special place in my heart <3

Alright know what here's a little Guild Wars 2 reblog game for everybody; what mounts (if any) do your characters have in their canon, do they have names? Personalities? How'd they meet??

Spill it all below, tell me about all your creatures!!

#my posts #gw2 #guild wars 2 #thinking about this a lot lately since mine def do!#I'll start: Pirkko has branded mounts and while I haven't named most of them. they were all branded over by Aurene #because they'd been corrupted by Kralkatorrik and they wanted to see if Aurene's magic could purify them in some way #it usually didn't work but Pirkko keeps the ones they saved #Larimar is her skyscale. his egg was tainted by the Brand before he hatched so Aurene was barely able to save him #he's a chivalrous knight type and is known to be just as noble as the Commander who raised him. brave. bold. kind of a dork.#while the Commander is fighting he circles up above and swoops down to rescue injured soldiers from the front line #Saoirse meanwhile gets the SoTo skyscale egg and that hatches into Nightshade. he's fierce and protective too #but in a much more 'loyal guard dog' sort of way as opposed to trying to help everyone else as well. he's an axejaw!#in Regrowth Ceara gets Foxglove because the Commander and Gorrik could NOT manage this little troublemaker #she's too smart for her own good and is CONSTANTLY causing problems. so basically just like Ceara HDKDHDH #Foxglove's a lunarmane! and she's very fluffy and cute and will give you the big shiny eyes to mooch all your food. evil #Ruju meanwhile has a full cast of different mounts who all were troublemakers in different ways when he found them #his griffon Windshear's a northern featherwing that was notorious for carrying off travelers in Lornar's Pass. turned out she was just bore #she's very playful and mischievous and still grabs him on a regular basis. he absolutely hates this #his fulgurite ridgeback jackal Thunderclap was a rogue jackal that the djinn had him help recapture and tame #he's imbued with Ruju's air element magic and is known to make the air spark and smell of ozone when he's annoyed #then there's Blitz his lepidote brute skyscale! he likes bloodstone magic and kept nipping everyone until it was finally provided #the rest I don't have in-game yet but I DO have concepts for the skimmer/warclaw/raptor. the 1st 2 I know what skins I want too #the skimmer will be a frosty-dyed lithosol named Frostbite. it's an ice elemental that terrorized Frostgorge Sound #the warclaw is a spinetail nian with jungle colors since it's supposed to be a smokescale-type saurian critter #and the raptor is SUPPOSED to be the jungle raptor that plointt grew to huge size and promptly tried to eat him #BUT there isn't a skin that feels close enough yet so rip. Fang is a handful tho and keeps trying to chew on Inquest HDJDGDH #ANYWAY. that's all of mine. throws this into the wind

lying here in bed and thinking abt how alienated out i feel in the cookie run fandom. and then theres a polish sitcom playing in the background from a different room.

#mostly like. i feel so alienated out for like. having such different views of chars.#dark choco is a char i find myself to relate to a lot. i see so much of myself in him.#and yet. i cant get fully interested and that makes me feel. am i even a true fan of his character #if my interpretation is so vastly different from the fandoms #and how his kingdom is probably my least favourite out of all the ancients' kingdoms #for how i feel like ppl and the narrative tend to forget how dark cacaos kingdom is so flawed.#like the whole “no sweet meals” thing. i am not talking abt irl influences and how it impacts the presentation of the kingdom but more like #i feel like ppl tend to perfectionize dark cacao kingdom while ignoring a ton of systematic issues in it.#then theres my opinion on hollyberry. i love her. shes my favourite ancient. but i wish we got a more serious storyline with her #im not all catched up on the lore but i just wish rlly wish we got more of the hollyberry kingdom. and see holly display a wider range of-#-emotions.#i hope the eternal sugar update will get us some hollyberry kingdom angst because i need some more serious characterization for her that r-#-not just snippets #then theres. white lily. i feel like im the only person who liked the fact white lily got her own kingdom and was split into two versions.#it DID come out of nowhere but like. i feel like its sort of more interesting than just white lily being fully DE?#her update was a fiasco with how shadow milk stole the show that was meant to be hers.#but like. so many of my opinions are different than the fandoms that i just cant help but feel like an intruder sometimes #i dont want to sound like a pick me or someone who thinks they r special for being different. because im not.#i do not like this feeling. but i needed to be open abt it ig #cookie chat #theres also like. the lack of proper characterization for carrow besides “good loyal soldier”.#that annoys me as hell too #fyi i DO NOT hate dark cacao kingdom to be clear. i love it a ton. the cultural influences are so interesting and i love the setting.#i just wish ppl didnt brush off a lot of systematic flaws abt it.

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

#Look it's fine that this show exists and people will watch it and like it and that's ok maybe it's just not for me #But that was like a statement purely designed to piss me off #There were lots of issues with the 1978 adaptation! I still vastly preferred the books any day!#And I actually initially had high hopes for the new one because they at least cast a Scot (albeit a Highlander not a Clydesider) as James #And the actors at least looked a little bit younger than Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy #And thank god Helen actually sounds like she's a farmer's daughter and doesn't speak RP!#But from the half hour I've seen of it I've had to write off this new adaptation #For two major reasons #First of all there's Siegfried #Siegfried is one of the key central aspects of the vibe of the books and therefore key to any adaptation #Robert Hardy was too short and too old for the part but he lived and breathed the character #The twinkle in the eye bouncing off the walls and in and out of rooms followed by half a dozen dogs utterly full of life even when angry #But this new Siegfried is just sort of... Eeyore-esque; he comes into a room and you can see the flowers droop and the set turn grey #Siegfried was angry Siegfried was happy and the historical character he was based on was no stranger to melancholy #Since Donald Sinclair did commit suicide or rather self-euthanasia after Alf Wight and his own wife Audrey died #But this slow grumbly figure in the new adaptation is not Siegfried Farnon- the book character didn't grumble more often he exploded #And why did the adaptation give him a dead wife that's so weird? What could that possibly add to the source material?#And this brings me onto my second problem which is to do with women and age #Firstly I have no idea why they aged down Mrs Hall or at least made her look younger than a woman her age would have back then #But what really drove me mad was when Heriot goes out to see some old woman hill farmer in the episode I saw #And this woman is far too clean and young-looking and you can see that she's wearing 'natural' look make-up #And a perfect set of clothes that looked like they were straight out of the House of Bruar autumn collection catalogue #Say what you like about the 1978 adaptation but old women looked like old women regardless of whether or not they wore make-up #It may be that the better quality of television screens means that the 'natural look' shows up on screen more clearly than it would have #But natural look make-up was not really a thing in the 1930s and for old women Yorkshire hill farmers I doubt they'd have much on at all #They just don't seem to be capable of allowing people to look old and wrinkled and real or have bad teeth or unattractive clothes #And everything is far too tidy- everybody looks far too perfectly country and quaint #Anyway the moral of this story is of course that I always recommend reading the books because they're much better #than any tv adaptation; but if forced to choose at least the 1970s one felt real and yet didn't have to be grim either #Ok that's my rant over please do feel free to enjoy the show I just got annoyed because the opinion was expressed on TMS

The thing is I am definitely not happy or chill in the Immediate Sense lately but I am, big picture, so fucking happy with the person I am.

It's like. My brain was made by and for consistent trauma and since that trauma stopped about 5-7 years ago, it is incredible what the amount of resilience and cleverness and flexibility and thoughtfulness I developed to survive can do when it's not being all spent on surviving. like I had a hundred ton weight on me so I had to get REALLY STRONG to stay in the same place and not get 100% crushed, and when that weight came off I found I can use the strength it used to take to stand up and I can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I was talking to my mum the other day and she said, "you've got the 'fuck it' energy at 30 that most women don't find until their fifties at least" and I'm like yeah man. Imagine how unstoppable I'll be in 20 years.
