it’ll take ten years for the actors to get the years we need from them, maybe even fifteen if we really wanna sell them being parents already but with that time, we could potentially actually have an opportunity in getting From Eden adapted.

like, what does it take first? getting the book approved by the author, through an editor, and finally published? that could take what, hopefully less than five years.

another five years developed towards the adaption. seeing how long it could take to be made, make sure the actors are on board, seeing how much it would cost, all the usual production stuff could also take five years if nicely done.

then filming and post-production would be 1-2 years because of the dæmons and special effects. give or take another two years just because we all know things aren’t always in stone, especially in series. but I’m tellin’ you, it’s doable.

what we need is time, and thankfully we got plenty of it. we’re not out of the fight yet, kids.

@lizevans78 what do you say? think we could?

The Marvels: Tutte per Una, Una per Tutte

The Marvels, il film sequel di Captain Marvel che riprende anche la Kamala Khan di Miss Marvel e Monica Rambeau.

Tre linee che si intrecciano nella trama

Pur essendo un Captain Marvel 2, il film è in realtà un sequel che riprende anche il personaggio di Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) di Miss Marvel e la Monica Rambeau di Teyonah Parris che abbiamo visto in WandaVision oltre la bambina conosciuta nella prima avventura cinematografica di Carol Danvers. Ed è proprio da Kamala prende le mosse il film, portando dalla sua avventura seriale lo stile leggero e "fumettoso" che ritroviamo in tutta la prima sequenza di The Marvels.

The Marvels: una foto di Brie Larson e Iman Vellani

Un ottimo inizio deciso e di personalità che ci porta passo dopo passo a conoscere i presupposti della trama e dell'intreccio di poteri che si viene a creare tra le tre protagoniste, facendo sì che si scambino di posto muovendosi tra la Terra, lo spazio e la stazione spaziale in cui è presente anche Nick Fury. Una prima parte scoppiettante e convincente, in cui vengono gettate le basi per tutto il plot del film, dell'antagonista che le eroine dovranno affrontare e le sue motivazioni.

Tre per una, tre in una

Se il primo Captain Marvel basava molta della sua riuscita sull'intesa e le dinamiche da Buddy Movie tra Brie Larson e Samuel L. Jackson, non si comporta in modo molto diverso questo sequel, che costruisce tutta la prima parte, e il suo principale punto di forza, nell'alchimia tra le tre protagoniste e nei tempi delle loro interazioni: si conferma la Larson la affianca bene Teyonah Parris, ma colpisce soprattutto la giovane interprete Iman Vellani, che già aveva conquistato in Miss Marvel, e che si dimostra la vera anima del film.

The Marvels: Iman Vellani in una foto del film

la natura della storia e il suo ruotare attorno a tre figure femminili distinte e messe sullo stesso piano narrativo ha portato a trovare uno stile unitario e non legato a una sola di loro, ma toglie un pizzico di personalità e originalità propria alla storia e l'approccio di The Marvels.

Più in alto, più lontano, più veloce

Dopo questo inizio promettente, purtroppo, The Marvels si ferma, gira a vuoto, si scontra contro una certa indecisione sulla strada da prendere. È una fase, penalizzata anche dal doppiaggio italiano, in cui si rischia di uscire dal film. È però soltanto una fase da cui per fortuna The Marvels emerge con un finale che ritrova smalto e sicurezza e riesce ad emozionare per come il rapporto tra le tre eroine viene portato avanti e messo in scena. E va sottolineato in positivo come il film non miri a essere più di quello che è andando dritto per la sua strada ottimizzando spunti e mezzi a propria disposizione.

The Marvels: Teyonah Parris in azione

Anche gli effetti visivi fanno un passo in avanti rispetto al terzo Ant-Man, più precisi e a fuoco; così come appare convincente la mano della regista Nia DaCosta nelle scene action ben coreografate e con interessanti movimenti di camera. Soprattutto nel primo e terzo atto. The Marvel è un film che ha un ottimo potenziale e lo sfrutta alla grande

In conclusione the Marvels è un film con un ottimo potenziale e lo sfrutta alla grande con diversi elementi interessate che possono convincere e di sicuro intrattenere il pubblico della Marvel.

Perché ci piace

- L'intesa tra le tre protagoniste, tra le quali spicca la giovane Kamala Khan di Iman Vellani.

- Il tono generale, che dà però il suo meglio quando strizza l'occhio a quello di Kamala e la sua serie Miss Marvel.

- Passi avanti sul fronte degli effetti visivi.

- La semplicità nell'approccio...

Cosa non va

- ... ma risulta in parte frettoloso e superficiale in alcuni passaggi.

How They Destress || Headcannons

Hello my darling travelers! I Hope you’re all doing well~ I’ve got some more fluff for you all so I hope you all have a relaxing day! - Mod Kaeya

recommending this song for these headcannons!

Diluc

- He distresses by training of course, cooking up new ways to dismantle his enemy whilst in a safe environment before trying them out is basically what he does in his free time

- Diluc doesn’t mind if you watch from a very safe distance so feel free to set up a little picnic and watch him brainstorm from afar

- You can always tell when he’s about to start training because you can usually spot him walking through the house tying up his hair in nothing but a vest and britches towards the field behind the winery

- You’ve almost become acquainted with the hive of slimes there with how many times he’s tested things on them

- His whole process of working through each strategy and practicing old ones of calming to him because it’s something that will never change

- Each swipe is the same, each guard, each lunge and parry will always be the same

- The one constant in his ever changing life

- Working with his vision makes experimenting with strategies a little hard whilst also keeping it interesting

- I’d recommend bringing aloe vera incase any sort of accidents happen but the most you’ve gotten recently is just singes so just relax and don’t startle the man whilst he waves around a sword literally his body length

- At least you get to drool over the biceps he normally keeps hidden under his coat

- And then once he’s finished with that there’s a fair chance he’ll start experimenting with drinks so…there’s a chance for fun that way

Kaeya

- Normally the only time he’s stressed is when Death By Noon is out of stock quite honestly and should that even happen he hyper fixates on work like no other to cope

- Honestly some people pray for the months where it’s gone just for the comforting fact that even before things become a threat they’re eradicated by Kaeya unless he deems them too interesting to kill and usually those times are when the Knights get their days off because golly the amount of commissions they get vanishes into thin air so fast you’d be surprised there was any strife at all

- It works sort of like clockwork, he starts out clearing all the areas around Mondstat itself then follows the trade routes and once those are clear, depending on how many days he’s been sober, he fucks off into the wilds and lets his sword take him wherever it pleases

- Once he gets home it’s a spa day though since he’s not used to doing everything he usually does and commit a mass extermination at the same time

- He probably doesn’t get home for a couple of days or weeks depending on how frazzled he is ngl

- He’s gonna take a nice long bath and zone out and then chug a cup of coffee on the couch in nothing but shorts and a loose open shirt and then he’s going to go to bed

- Consider the bedroom occupied until the shortage is over pretty much if the bag under his eye is any indication of his current mental state

- Just give him a lot of affection and I’m sure he’ll be fine

Albedo

- Somedays he’ll just short circuit and you can tell right away he needs to take a break

- He’ll still be lying in bed, eyes half lidded but as soon as you call his name and he just responds with a “…m¿” you know

- Don’t let him leave the tent

- At all

- As soon as he leaves the tent he goes into Work Mode

- He needs to rest and recuperate so shove some tea in his hands and start telling stories

- the best way to get him back on track is to get him to his thoughts about Deep ™️ things or work

- Tell him really long stories about anything from your day yesterday or a recount of your favorite best selling novel and he’ll eventually stop thinking

- Playing the story game might be a good way to trick him into light heartedness about everything for the moment honestly

- If he feels sleepy let him dream he’s a tired boi

- Days in bed just talking away with each other, completely blind and deaf to the world and falling in and out of dreams hits that sweet spot that has him refreshed like an hp bar got refilled

- He may even come to a solution for various experiments or theories because of your time together

Venti

- The guy doesn’t stress end of

- He’s always convinced everything will turn out at least a little alright for everyone so he isn’t too worry about life

- It’s very very rare for him to become stressed and if he is it’s because of things that have happened in his past that he can’t stop thinking about

- This would be the time for a good old song and dance

- Seriously if you have the ability to grab your closest friends and drag them to wherever the both of you live do it

- He loves music more than anything so watching others perform or going to a show with his buddies really lifts his spirits a lot

- Especially if they have vastly different opinions on music than he does because that means there’ll be a lot of interesting discussions on various topics across the night and this guy can talk if he needs to

- Maybe don’t let him drink till he’s smashed but being a little tipsy won’t hurt him if he wants to drink

- Chances are he won’t be in the mood as he’ll be busy trying to teach someone the lyre because they tried to shred it like a guitar though

- Listening to upbeat music is his go to but more slow, calming music sometimes does the trick if you both are just chilling out and don’t really want to be bothered

Xiao

- Okay he’s the opposite to Venti in that He’s Always Stressed

- It’s just reached a level to where it’d the norm to constantly feel like he’s going to sprout gray hairs at any moment so he’s just at this eerie calm all the time

- Unless there are mortals besides you nearby

- Okay first off dip out to somewhere without mortals for once

- Like seriously just go to Juryen Karst or something because Im afraid he’s going to pop a blood vessel

- Just walking around Juryen Karst is enough to put him at ease at least a little because of the atmosphere, it’s thick with adeptal energy and everything about the place is riddled with mystery and a mystic aura that you can never really find anywhere else in treyat

- He’s gonna just up and vanish a lot, don’t worry he’s just running around to burn off the stress or even doing a bit of routinely clean up so the slimes don’t get out of hand

- You’ve never seen the mega slime he’s described before but you have no intents of ever seeing it

- Set up a little place for you both to sit and eat (a looooot of almond tofu for him)

- Then just…breathe

- He’ll be quiet this whole trip honestly because he’s so content, high up on one of the stalks among the clouds and gods and yaoguai

- Xiao’ll be at peace just meditating there with you

Zhongli

- He needs to be busy, mostly with his hands

- So he’s taken up a lot of hobbies in his newfound free time

- His favorite thing to do though is make you a cup of tea and then get down to whatever it is he’s going to focus on that day

- Your company is invaluable to him at the end of the day

- Zhongli tends to go for sculpting things out of clay and he takes ages doing it in order to get the best result

- You’ve pointed out that it must be similar to how he sculpted Liyue or even some of it’s denizens out of the land before but he just chuckled at that

- Apparently that was more like sifting through sand and mining at the same time but let’s not get into that

- The sculpts he makes are usually of mythical creatures he’s read about that have taken his fancy, anything more realistic about dragons or Qilin are a bit boring to sculpt for him for the moment but I’m sure that fancy will return eventually

- He actually has given a sculpt of what a Cocogoat might look like to Qiqi before and she’s taken very good care of it since

- His tools litter his workshop because he’s so absentminded but he somehow still knows where everything is? The only thing messier than the clay dust everywhere is when he gets down to painting the sculpts

Childe

- Stress is very hard to detect with Childe because he’s so used to holding up that cheerful facade but once you’ve been with him long enough it’s like watching a fish out of water

- He’s slightly out of beat in conversation, his shoulders a little tenser than usual and he’s paying a bit too much attention to this or that

- You have to force him into your hotel room and sit him down on the bed

- You gotta break out the olive oil and the candles for this one guys he’s a BIG stressor

- Give him a massage and tell him about all the things you love about him, okay?

- And not a short one, a loooong fullbody massage with loooong soliloquies about how much you adore when he scrunches up his nose in confusion when he thinks no one is looking at him trying to use chopsticks

- When you’re done make him some traditional Sneznayan food, this can be anything from a breakfast food to a dinner food because either way he’s just going to be elated to see food that doesn’t require you to fight with utensils to eat

- It’d be good if you kept everything as quiet as possible around him too for once because god knows he’s probably going to go deaf from the amount of explosions he’s heard in his life

- Still though just relax with him and enjoy your food

Kuzuha

- It’s a bit easy to tell when he’s starting to stress

- He can’t really go with the flow as easily as he usually does, he gets hung up on things and he sometimes even is so stuck inside his head he doesn’t stop to view the awestrucking sights in Treyat

- The best way to help him destress is to leave him alone

- Sometimes it’s just for the best to tell him that you’re gonna have a busy day so if he wants to come along he can but it won’t hurt if he doesn’t

- He’ll probably take that queue to go on a long jog and think about his life up until now

- And boy does he have a lot to process since coming to Treyat

- He often takes routes that pass by rivers or ponds or lakes because the sereneness of them are often one of the first things he notices about a place he’s visiting and it’s undeniable that if he could paint a picture of the beauty he finds in all of these things he wouldn’t think it captured it all the way

- He might end up scaling a mountain by the time he gets back but he’ll be that sweetheart wanderer you’ve always loved by the end of it

- And on the off chance he’d ask for you to come with him on his walks please do, he’d really appreciate it

- falling in step with you whilst deep in thought makes him feel a bit safer than he did before, he’ll be distracted but should anything happen you’ll be there to jump in first as always

homecoming weekend: Capture The Flag !!

As the sun begins to set on the west coast, Nemean Lion’s campus begins to welcome more guests into the Demicenter. Visitors with a ticket to Capture The Flag receive a bracelet that allows them entry into the campus’ Arena, a first for the public in Nemean Lion’s history. A magical portal created just for today grants them transportation from the Demicenter to the Arena, as NL takes its precautions and doesn’t allow a chance for them to snoop around other restricted parts of the campus. The bracelets they wear give them access to only the Arena, which shouldn’t be a problem, because who would want to be anywhere else during the main event?

Fit like one of the world’s best arenas, the stands allow for an audience of about 20,000, and today’s event is sold out. The center field is slightly larger than usual, however, and for now sits as flat, grassy turf. There’s a steady roar of the thousands of fans in the Arena, which include most of the demigods and their families in front row seats, here to cheer on their members. NL Administration, including manager and CEO, sit in box seats to watch over the members in their care and make sure this goes well. And just like advertised, the event is televised, and a magically experienced crew are all set up around the Arena, streaming live to millions of devices around the world.

Music and fanfare begins to sound throughout the Arena as the two teams enter the field, led by the two team captains. Falling in line behind captain Theo Choi of Team A are Juniper Johnson, Drew Suh, July Chin, Grace Marshall, Viola Lovera, Ezra Stokes, Narumi Kato, Jesse Garcia, Vera Marshall, James Koo, Minjeong Park, Regan Morgan, Alessio Castellani, Charla Lee, and Axel Green. On the other side stands Team B, comprised of Nick Spencer, Safiye Bennet, Cyrus Tan, Simon Hong, Mira Funetes, Prim Tran, Mayumi Ishida, Stormie Burbank, Tristan Day, Gigi Gautier, Carly Serrano, Pandora Liu, Ace Aguilar, Holly Sharp, and Kennedy Xun all captained by Cynthia Byun.

Once both teams stand ready on either side, Marina gives a cue, and a low rumble echoes throughout the venue. The turf begins to morph before everyone’s eyes, transforming the flat field into a forest landscape, the work of their own extremely skilled manager who’s power most people don’t see too often. Hills and trees begin to cover the distance between the two teams, until neither can see their opponents, a vast forest landscape shrouding each other from view. Clad in armor, donning their weapons, and with abilities at the ready, it’s almost time to begin.

Floating above the open roof of the Arena are honorary white marble thrones gilded in gold. Twelve, to be exact, though they sit empty as they always have on days of events like these, only ever a show of courtesy, a sign of respect to the gods that watch over them. Or, at least, that’s how it’s always been in the past.

An almost imperceptible hum begins to stir in the air, raising the hair of everyone’s arms, and somehow commanding a hush across the stadium. Marina Ren and Daphne Saengmai share a surprised but knowing glance just as light begins to shine bright from the skies. In a golden haze, ethereal figures begin to materialize in the noble thrones above the Arena, though not every seat becomes occupied, as everyone below counts six otherworldly figures. Their faces are somehow shrouded by both shadow and light, features undetectable, and to the mortals they have no idea who is who, only that for almost all of them, they’re in the presence of gods for the very first time. The demigods, however, know the order of those thrones by heart, and know which gods now watch above them.

Demeter. Ares. Apollo. Artemis. Aphrodite. Hermes.

Marina smiles once up at them, takes a steadying breath, then brings her attention back down to the field. She gives the signal, a horn blows, and the game begins.

Team A sprints into action, sending its slew of offensive players into the forest. Theo Choi leads them, weapon in hand, running through the forest to act as the first barrier of defense, and as soon as she finds members from the other team, her sword clashes with Mayumi Ishida, who leads offense as well for Team B.

The Team A captain is flanked by July Chin and Jesse Garcia, who though not heroes, hold their own against Mayumi and her own backup, Mira Funtes, who are unfortunately outnumbered. Besides, this first scrap is only the first defense.

The two huntresses of Team B, Gigi Gautier and Ace Aguilar use their tracking abilities and experience from training with the hunt to dart quickly and quietly through the forest, looking for the easiest pathway to Team A’s red flag for the rest of their teammates, then throw an arrow into the sky as signal. They have to be excellent, after all, their lady is watching.

Their teammates, Safiye Bennet and Stormie Burbank see the signal and begin heading towards the direction, escaping most of the scuffle in the middle of the Arena. Grace Marshall, propelled in higher view with her aerokinesis, catches it too and sends a signal to her own teammate. Ezra Stokes holds a piece of tech in his hands as he runs towards Grace’s signal, the device able to scan for heat signatures and when it picks up the daughter of Aphrodite and daughter of Dionysus heading toward what should be a clear path, they come head to head with him and Viola Lovera, ready for combat.

Thankfully, Simon Hong of Team B had also caught his team’s signal, and darts past them unseen, using his shadow travel for increments at a time. He gets to the clearing of Team A’s flag and then finally to the flagpole itself. He grabs the opponent’s bright red flag, about to step into his shadow travel to get it back to his side of the field, but before he can make it out, gets clothes-lined by Alessio Castellani and a broad-staff, who tries to wrench his team’s flag out from his grasp.

Though her teammate is down, Holly Sharp comes upon the scene and knows the objective is victory and grabs the red flag from Simon, and before anyone can stop her, begins to use her enhanced speed to get out of danger’s way and head back into her team’s direction.

In the middle of the forest, Team A’s Minjeong Park, Vera Marshall, and Regan Morgan are tucked behind tree trunks, peeking out to sling arrows across the way, aimed at the trunks hiding their opponents, Pandora Liu and Tristan Day, who fire arrows back just as quickly.

But when a well-hidden Axel Green conjures up some sunlight in Tristan’s face, the Team B archer misfires, hitting Holly in the thigh on her journey back, and everyone springs into action for the flag in her hand.

When the first member of Team A makes it to the clearing that holds Team B’s blue flag, James Koo finds it unguarded, and foolishly begins to reach for it. But a very quiet-footed and stealthy Carly Serrano pops up from seemingly nowhere and lulls him into a gentle sleep before he can do it. This strategy might’ve continued to work if Narumi Kato hadn’t been expertly observing from the treeline, and dashes in next, knocking Carly to the ground with a well-timed shove before she can stop him from grabbing the blue flag.

However, Nick Spencer also springs from the treeline and races after him into the forest, attempting to protect his team’s flag. The two boys catch each other and parry blows and strikes, and just as Nick is about to take the upper hand, Drew Suh and Charla Lee of Team A help their teammate.

Noticing their teammate is in need, Kennedy Xun joins the fray and attempts to sword fight with the rest of them, but quickly ends up knocked harshly back by Charla, tripping on a tree root and spraining their ankle in the process, down for the count. Nick stops to help his friend, but not before focusing hard on Drew who now has the flag and mind controlling him into dropping it. It works, though thanks to his limits, it also sends him down.

Prim Tran of Team B leaps into view, running towards her team’s blue flag to try to save it, and that’s precisely when Team A’s Juniper Johnson descends like a bat out of hell. Donned in black streaks of war-paint on her cheeks that absolutely no one asked her to wear, she charges terrifyingly towards the blue flag, butting Prim with her shield to block her, and snatches it up, running back in the direction of her team’s field.

She’s a mighty opponent, ditching the shield and brandishing her combat knives like a demon, she makes it past Cyrus Tan who attempts to block her with a wave of water from the small stream she leaps over.

She makes it past the middle of the field where the largest cluster of demigods still fight over the red flag, zipping past, only a passing thought to those in the brawl who don’t notice the royal blue cloth in her clutch.

When she finally hits the clearing, finding almost no one there, she’s nearly victorious. Until, previously hidden in shadow, emerges Cynthia Byun, longsword in hand. Team B’s captain, having been lurking with her umbrakinesis, uses this one last opportunity to keep Team A from winning. Though her opponent is a graduated hero, and this captain is only in training, they exchange blows almost well-matched. Cyntha’s longsword clangs time and time again with Juniper’s combat knives, managing to disarm one of them and slash an clean streak against the daughter of Hecate’s upper arm.

Expending one last feat of strength, Juniper uses some magic to cast up an illusion of shadow, as if she might have duplicated Cynthia’s own power, and it confuses her opponent and shields herself just enough to buy the one second she needs to fake in one direction and the lunge toward the golden flagpole. Cynthia, only allowing herself that one brief moment of doubt, dashes forward with her longsword in the direction she knows Juniper would have chosen, feeling her blade connect on the downstroke with the flesh of Juniper’s leg. But it’s just too far and just too late. Juniper has secured the other team’s blue flag onto the golden pole.

A triumphant horn sounds, and the speakers blare.

“Game! Team A has won this match of Capture The Flag!”

The crowd erupts into roaring cheers, Team A celebrates as Team B accepts the loss, the foliage and terrain of the landscape morphs back into a grassy field as the speakers continue to announce the victory.

Healers begin to jog onto the field, tending to the wounds and injuries of all the players, and Marina has already made her way down, beginning to congratulate and shake the hands of the victors, and thank the defeated team for a job well done.

The cameras pick up the crowd happily cheering in support, the pridefully exhausted faces of all the team members, and Marina’s smiling face thanking everyone for coming out tonight as music continues to sound and confetti falls all around the glamorous Arena. The view of the lens pans up to try to catch a glimpse of the gods above, but apart from a lingering light they leave behind, they’re already gone.

Game well played! Rest up, demigods, enjoy the night with your families, and we’ll see you all for the Homecoming Dance tomorrow!
