I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.

Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.

They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.

The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!

Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.

Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.

This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.

The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.

This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.

here's a couple practice doodles of Juno and Sora! i've been trying to incorporate more textured brushes into my art and i think it's going well!!

[vani-candy]

i proceeded to disappear for over two weeks ooooops

in my defense i was dealing with an oral inflammation, but im better now!! here's some Juno doodles

[vani-candy]

hi there, apologies for disappearing on everyone lol!!! ive been addicted to Black Desert rather out of the loop with social media lately, but that doesnt mean i havent been doodling, far from it! here's a little doodle dump of my OCs Sora and Juno who are madly in love with each other (admittedly this isn't everything cause some of it is a little spicy teehee)

[vani-candy]

hi! apologies for my absence, i am addicted to video games (Mabinogi). the MMORPG grind is real. but im slowly but surely trying to kick myself back into gear, so here's a couple practice doodles of Sora and Juno!

[vani-candy]

hi sorry ive been away im a massive video game addict. ive been obsessed with Mabinogi and im preparing for the new Astrologer talent dropping this thursday and it's right up my alley so i've decided im going to go HARD.

here is a peace offering of my gay boys in the meantime

[vani-candy]

I'm so OBSSESSED with your fang story! Will you be writing more? 🥰😍😍😍😍😍

THANK YOU SO MUCH, im glad you like it!!!!!!

i'd like to get back to Swan's Treasure at some point in the future!!! i took a break after the latest chapter because i felt very burnt out afterwards (everything went wrong while making that chapter LMAO).

i meant to get back to it earlier, but various factors (mental health crashes (all good now dont worry!), shifting interests, my gamer side taking over (MABINOGI ASTROLOGER UPDATE SOON I GOTTA PREPARE!!!!!), art blocks) have kept me away from it, and i dont want to halfheartedly shove something out. i absolutely wanna avoid burnout cause thats a surefire way to kill your enjoyment of literally anything!

but i'd like to get back to it! i'll probably take my time on this next chapter so i dont burn myself out, plus it'll look better! i have a problem where i feel like i need to shove something out quick like im sonic the hedgehog lol. its okay if you're not sonic the hedgehog, all arting speeds are valid!

tl;dr: eventually! hopefully soon! stay tuned!

P.S.: admitting it now; im in the process of changing up Mitty's design again cause her current fit is rather difficult to draw. it's a special outfit, but i stupidly overdesigned it. which is bad when she's, in essence, made for comics you want to get out in a decent timeframe. work smarter not harder!

[vani-candy]

here have some gay boy lore!!! i got a buncha new followers on bluesky and ive been lazy for the past week and was jus like "i need to feed them something". and ive had this lore/info on backburner so i was like "its time". i will post more lore n whatnot when i have art ready!!! im just that person who's like "IM DONE WITH MY ART TIME TO POST IT IMMEDIATELY)
