#THE FIGHT SCENES WERE BETTER TOO

[mxdotpng]

don't even look at me rn man

#.text #kekkai sensen #im over it. #im over it. i swear #im fine. i SWEAR. #I SWEAR !! #the fact the scenes above are originally meant to be framed as leo looking down on himself for not being able to fight back #but when you reread it it can also be read as him finally realizing they want him to depend on them. because they Want to protect him #i cant keep doing this guys. #i know the zapp panel is from earlier in the volume but i think it was a better example of him looking out for leo #like... why did he do. all of that ? #he literally did not have to do that. nor did he have to tell leo this. #and to be honest i think to leo someone going 'yeah. i looked into it for your sister. she'll be safe' #would be like. a big indicator of someone trying to look out for him because hes Him #like. him having money is of no use or indication to whether or not they need to be protected by evil monsters. #in fsct it was barely relevant to the conversation they were having #he just. brought it up bc he thought leo was worried. #zapp is sweet when he isnt being the worst person in the room 🤭 #i keep thinking of zed's 'the best benefit would be for you to keep on living' too #likr these people just want him safe. more than anything else. #they love him so much im ill #im UNWELL #EDIT AGAIN: i just realized leo followed literslly all of their advice. i have to explode and die now. goodbye forever

okay sword af season 2 started with a total blast!! this was so much fun and i didnt even need to watch all of season 1 to get into it at all! and i think podcast form ended up working really well, for me listening and imagening the events was better at pulling my focus to the story elements rather than also trying to watch the players wrestle with it in real time. i think it feels more immersive that way when im not also watching regular people sitting on a table talking with each other. everybody did great! cant wait for the next ep

#sword af #smosh #also its way better now that its weekly instead of biweekly.. that seems too long of a break to follow the story lol #damien is kiiling it btw i know nothing about dnd so idk how the story writing goes but he seems to organize the players and the scenes #really well! i can see why people were so charmed by bug lol angela is so cute #i love that we started with a big fight and real damage/consequences plus a good ol' cliff hanger! its exciting #not to spoil shit but fernie :(( this little gentle giant he just wanted to talk it out...

#I'm a bit late but :) #Mmmhh lots of thoughts about this episode. Nothing really relevant though lol #I like it... Mostly. Well‚ I like Atsushi‚ and I like Atsushi screentime. #I always forget that there's actually a one week timeskip within the Guild arc #I think these chapters were generally better executed in the manga. #But even then it's just... #Why do the make the Guild / Fitzgerald so. dumb. Why do they make them act so wildly irrationally and at the protagonists' advantage #It really gives villain acting entirely mindlessly to make the plot advance and the heroes win. It's really sensless. #I mean especially when Atsushi yielded. Why didn't Fitzgerald take his offer. For real!! #For real. He had NOTHING to gain from proceeding with his plan. He already obtained for Atsushi and the ada to collaborate. #Now they are NEVER going to help him‚ and that's agreat loss for him. #And idk. i hear that little Tumblr post in my voice saying “why would you complain about characters acting irrationally! #Do people irl never act irrationally?” #And yeah I get Fitzgerald was frustrated for losing Mitchell and his fight with Hawthorne. Okay I understand. #But that's definitely too much. That's him acting downright stupid at the heroes' advantage and it's just pretty underwhelming to read? #That said. It's just general notes I'm not particularly annoyed because like. That's just b/s/d to you. Dumbing down the villains a second– #so the author can escape the trap they put themselves into. Very Marvel-esque move lol. #On that exact same note WHY WOULD LUCY HAVE THE DOLL. #The doll is the whole premise for your plan working why would you not protect it with everything 😭😭😭 #I'm not getting in the Lucy / Atsushi scene itself. I love Lucy but I swear every time that scene gets played a femminist dies #(it's me. I'm the femminist dying every time.) #Mmmhh a couple more things. I dislike the ost choice in the scene where Steinbeck is torturing Q it feels so out of place #And I really don't get what's the deal with the Hawthorne / Fitzgerald convo it's so confusing to me. Like it It looks like Hawtorne is– #blaming Fitzgerald for Mitchell's condition (both in health and for her family status) but... #Objectively neither of those things are Fitzgerald's fault? Idk maybe I just have very little media comprehension for this arc because– #a lot of things just seem to happen with no sense. But it's okay #Im complaining a lot lol but its mostly irrelevant things (or like with the dumbification of villains things I've learnt to live with lmao) #But the episode was generally nice. The animation this season is consistently very pretty. #random rambles

#I'm imagining a New England private school vibe #Picture it Ambitious Nancy who begged her parents to let her go here Lives for being top of the class #and jonathan is a scholarship student so of course he's going to try his hardest #It's giving Anne & Gilbert but make it dark academia #And like Gilbert Jonathan has had a crush on Nancy since his first day but she got mad because he had a better literary analysis than her #and then at some point they had essentially the s1 fight in the woods and Nancy decided they were rivals #and Jonathan went along with it because he's a simp and at least he gets to talk to her #Also bc that man lives for teasing her tell me I'm wrong (see the s2 hallway scene) #but then the tension gets to be Too Much and their Professor (Murray) assigns them to be project partners and they end up making out #this was a note in my notes app from when I was high #love that from me #stranger things #jancy #jonathan x nancy #nancy x jonathan #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #st moodboard #alternate universe #dark acamedia

Man idk what it is about 3 specifically that makes me feel like not only I -lost- skill in the game but that I'm just generally having less fun overall save for Splatfests and things 😔

I just can't keep up like I used to, Splatoon 2 is where I peaked and since then it feels like I'll never get back up to where I was

I'm really resonating with the folks who are bailing out some days

(Don't worry, I 100% plan on taking a good break away from it, I know my limits, it's just a little sad)

#SquidWhaling #I love this game I do and I wanna keep playing but when I'm having fun less than it's not fun I gotta know when to walk away #It's just...too different for me now I think #Not to say Splatoon 2 was 'better' but it was better for ME I guess cause the maps were bigger and things weren't so cramped #And X Rank wasnt so varied now it used to be a more close-range scoring system #And also I didn't have to fight Gold X Badges down in like S Rank /bricked #It may just not be my scene anymore...Sad cause I rly did enjoy the competitive part of it for a long time but #I think my competitive spirit's finally too shaken to really keep that energy #Back to just playin Salmon Run and Splatfests I think #ANYWAY SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE this has actually eaten at me for a few months #Pls take breaks if you feel anything like I do I am boutta go back to Pokemon and Zelda /bricked

on one hand: i love me some good ol’ positive ‘fitz vacker + bodies of water’ fics /gen. 

on the other hand: twas a missed opportunity to not make the golden boy afraid of water. since water turns (impure) gold to rust (eventually), and all that. very fun metaphor opportunities slipped through canon’s fingers :(

#like. it would've made multiple parts of the books way more interesting!! having fitz panic in neverseen and nightfall because of all the #water? having fitz try and fail to not lose his mind during the breathing training scene thingy in lodestar? #having fitz get skiddish around everglen's lake? having the fight between alvar and fitz in flashback use the lake against fitz?? #fitz slowly realizing he's not pure golden boy and he never will be and slowly rusting away into someone new #that he originally views as lesser??? #come ON man. we were ROBBED #fitz vacker #extremely tempted to headcanon him as being scared of water and having to learn to tolerate/love it #would be even better if he learned that through keefe. since keefe fucking LOVES water #and would be like '!! you guys have a lake!! let's swim!!' and fitz would be trying to avoid an anxiety attack subtly and totally failing #and so keefe would help him get less and less scared of water bit by bit #so he's fine with it in canon now but pre-canon he wasn't #and maybe every time he sees water you can swim in he thinks of better days w/ keefe #and every time keefe sees fitz swim keefe wonders if he still thinks of him #but they never tell each other that #yeah nvm this is a headcanon close to my heart now lmao #it'd be so fun to experiment w/ in fics where keefe's a lifeguard or surfer or smth like that too!! #avery i am. i am looking at you #what are your thoughts on th #*this #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc fic idea

rewatched shooting stars aka the baby bron and friends movie <3 very cute

#wood harris was so adorable in that role i love cringe coach dad harris #the fab five <33 #thats so lame lol i love them #the movie was rlly long tho.. like scene-wise the pacing could be better cus i watched with other people #and we looove talking through boring scenes of movies and we talked A lot #we dont rlly talk during movies like that.. only during quiet or long takes so #and then the editing style was like?? near the end like it tried to be winning time which is fine cus wt didnt invent that style but #it's just weird cus it suddenly switched like that idk #BUT the length of the movie did help highlight a lot of the people #their friendship felt incredibly real bcs it was #seeing romeo go from adversary to own honorary video game controller was <33 #their lil 'epic fight' which quickly concluded them running and hiding in the team bus #the goofy kids were just goofy kids forced to deal with growing up too fast #maybe thats why the editing style suddenly switched so stylish-like near the end.. everything happening at once #suddenly all the life is flashy and stuff #even if that wasnt on purpose i like thinking of it as a new positive way idk i like having more than one side to the coin #that still connect to the same coin #kinda wish they talked more about cotton tho smh his only personality really was kind funny and likes to eat #so basically every heavyset person in media #i wanna hear abt his problems as well!! #hes a real person too! hes gotta have em!! #mane #i guess we dont know 😭

Hes my son your honor, hes just a little guy

Id die for him

#naruto #help i cant believe im about the hyper fixate on naruto for the 4th time #watching the first show reminds me of everything wrong with boruto especially art and animation wise #god I fucking hate boruto #anyways naruto so silly i love him so much #thinking about team 7 found family.... #thinking about if sakura was well written... #so much potential.. wasted :c #I hc that shes actually not a boy crazy idiot and simply has a crush like a normal person and that she ACTUALLY HAS MUSCLES BC YA KNOW #HER WHOLE FUCKING THING IS STRENGTH CHARACTER DESIGNERS WERE YOU HIGH???? #and I hc that she was actually used well in fight scenes like the one against puppet guy and she didn't cry for naruto to solve everything #and that she didnt fuck with his feelings in that one episode when she 'confessed' to get him to go home #and that sasuke wasnt a lame piece of edgy shit and was a better written antagonist #and that naruto didnt have an absolutely unhealthy obsession with him #sorry but people who ship naruto and sasuke are gross #its already abusive and unhealthy as all get out and now you want to add r o m a n c e??? #im sure narutos crush on sakura got weird too #oh yeah like when he transformed into sasuke to trick her into kissing him #naruto writers be normal about romance for once please #shikamaru and temari and naruto and hinata were pretty good #idk personally I ship naruto and gaara and naruto and shikamaru #oops im rambling in the tags what can I say I fucking love naruto and have a lot of opinions on it

there's a way to properly depict pacifism and controlling your emotions.

bloodline failed this.

#✏️ - ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏsᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏsᴛ // (ooc) #// ughhh saw a scene from it on my tweeter timeline and it just makes me roll my eyessss #// no i'm not an edgelord - i actually LIKE many pacifist characters - and i like when jin's one too #// but they did it in such a ... i don't wanna use 'preachy' but that fits #// LIKE imagine you're watching trigun or superman #// and vash or clark just gets they asses handed to them - and they can only fight with 'defensive' moves rather than punching or shooting #// AND they're not even allowed to mock the very bad person #// or else they'll get the 'ughhh you're being too mean you're letting your anger get to you :/' #// like what makes superhero media SATISFYING is that the bad guy still gets his ass handed to them #// the hero still mocks them and even beats them a bit #// but they never kill #// to hear a character getting scolded for finally fighting back after WEEKS of being tormented? #// there's NO satisfaction in that! #// like yea - jin CAN'T go overboard - especially given he has the devil gene #// but like... there were just BETTER ways you could've depicted that instead of being fuckin Pretentious about it #// to the point where the character is even SHAMED for smiling at his abuser getting knocked down

when will i have to stop seeing april shipped w the turtles though it brings nothing to the table.

#anywayyy. the animation was gorgeous the fight scenes were AMAZING the comedy was. good but certain jokes went on way too long. #character designs ADORABLE. voice cast was better than expected esp because it was clearly just seth rogan cashing in a bunch of favors #donnie's squeaky voice was esp sooo good. #and ppl might complain about how gen z it is but. #i always really love when they modernize tmnt bc they are SUPPOSED to be caricatures of teenagers. #you have to update them with every iteration or it doesn't work #the soundtrack how could i forget the soundtrack. nin killed it #uhmmm. ya. really good

[getouuu]

Idk chainsaw man anime is like fun but something is like kinda off?

#i think it’s the way they animate certain stuff ?like it doesn’t capture fujimotos faces right or the panels #like it’s all pretty yet like idk idk idk how to put into words #it’s just not as cool as the manga was and it’s a bit unfair to say that i feel #like when they were running from the enternal devil it wasn’t as scary and I was bored LOL #that little arc actually was fun cause it made you fearful for the characters #now I’m just rambling #WAIT #anyway i wanna see aki make more ugly faces ya know idk when Denji and power did that shit prank his face was so scary and funny #but everything just seems too ‘pretty’?anyway ignore me cause I know I can form better words on all this #where’s the raunchyness in all this HUH #camera work not to be found but only on that himeno scene like girl what is thisssssssss #the katana fight better have my toes curling cause that one fan ani still the best thus far

[joyfuladorable]

yeah, okay, I don't just like Wedding Bells and Bytes. I love it???

#it's like genuinely precious man #the way they all go forward to hug Splinter??? #Raph and Leo supporting Casey during his wedding jitters #Maid of Honor Mikey!!!! ;w; #all the guests showing up and interacting?? #Honeycutt officiating and the Professor playing the piano... #I bet Angel and the Professor are friends and she drove them there #also what about those other two guys who are like 'huh turtle costumes' and 'yup' why didn't They get invitations??? #the sunset wedding with everyone else watching on was pretty sweet too #okay admittedly the fight parts were like wtf just because uhhh a lot of the guests are supposed to be powerful???? #nerfed themselves for the wedding I Guess #lol at the Justice Force coming late like y'all seriously #which one of them forgot to set the alarm #also fuck off why didn't we get any Karai scenes in this that's literally a data copy of her DAD #probably would've been a better season if she was actually included in this nonsense from the start lol #oh and apparently I misremembered Sirling going back to the future??? I straight up thought there was a scene were a portal opens up and #he finally gets to go home to Cody??? Maybe it was in a fic I read lol #OH! And I love that Mikey and LH both love weddings that's so cute #headcanon that they watch romcoms and sitcoms together #anyways tag ramble done #just Forever left to rewatch and then I can go back to the start >:3c

So I just watched KGF 2 and while it's a great fucking action film, the plot is solid and OHMYGOD YASH IS SO AHHHHHHHHHHHH (in short my ovaries were very pleased Ahem) but it is so clearly a film by men for men because the female love interest is oh my god SO FUCKING USELESS and she hates the dude for like one and half of the films and then when she gets to know his sob story she conveniently falls in love with him, dances for him (after he'd VERY CLASSILY called her his "entertainment" earlier on) and sleeps with him ALL in the span of one fucking song before she's ultimately *spoiler* killed for his manpain, just like his mom was like Ugh give me a break.

Honestly that was such a put off for me that it made me cheer up for the people trying to kill Rocky Lmao. No really, his character really rubbed me the wrong way and the only redeeming aspect of him is that he's played by Yash. That's it.

(i know that I'm probably being too harsh but like if you WANT to make token female love interests in today's day and age then atleast do it respectfully like RRR did and add in the homoromantic element to balance it out instead of fucking shoving nonsensical romance into the audience's faces out of nowhere.)

#KGF 2 is good at times but not worth a second watch #Definitely not worth spending hours finding a decent quality pirated version that's for sure #i just can't look past the blatant misogyny like I'm sorry but ugh #I mean you have Raveena Tandon as this Indira Gandhi-eswue dictator-prime minister who puts Rocky's ass in his place #But oh well #RRR has just elevated my standards to a completely different level #Like even the fight scenes in RRR were better choreographed than in KGF #not to say that they aren't amazing in their own right they definitely ARE #but nothing extraordinary like RRR's interval scene or the final fucking fight ohmygdoururhrie #the plot is where KGF shines though #Like it's so fucking intriguing and the third chapter has been confirmed and I can't fucking wait until it releases #This was me when the first film released too #The plot is the biggest strength of this series hands down #okay that's enough #RRR supremacy <3 #Lmao #Makes sense why Tumblr has a bigger fandom for RRR than KGF 👀👀👀 #It's the GAYYYYYY #anyway #RRR #KGF 2

[sskk-manifesto]

Omg I actually enjoyed this episode quite a bit!!!

#It wasn't... Particularly extraordinary but it still felt almost meeting the season 4 standard #Things are still going super super fast 😭😭 #Like it may be that I'm just... Slow to process info but I seriously feel like I can't keep up with what they say #I can't believe at this point they've basically caught up with the manga 😭😭 #In the next ep they'll reach the moment when *I* caught up with the manga when I read bsd for the first time which is just insane to me. #Like my brain can't conceive it #It's such a shame to think that means we aren't getting another bsd anime season for another five years... My heart cries #Even more since at this point it's probably going to stop right before sskk meet again and it's going to be so frustrating for me #But the Aya / Bram scenes were so cute!!! In them I felt like the pace was actually okay for the first time since forever. #It may be that they weren't very information packed so they kind of flew smoothly but I thought the pace was enjoyable– #and the animation too was pretty good!!! #There's always a black shadow wrapping my heart tight whenever I notice the animation gets better– #because I can't help but mourn what the sskk fight could have been and can't stop the resentment... #But in the end I'm happy if the budget goes to a little girl that's what she deserves :') #In the next episode we're probably going to get a little Atsushi screentime too!!!! #Man I'm so starved for Atsushi screentime every time he appears on screen for 0.06 seconds there's a whole crowd cheering in my head #random rambles

#love <333 jesus you deserved better. do you guys remember how he (and landon were literally the ones who were like. the introduction to #the show. along with hope ofc but the first scenes are literally about raf. and he got so thoroughly screwed over by the show while the #show pretended it was a good ending for him with two parents he barely fucking knows alone in a whole world. and landon got super screwed #over too like. (he fights to get out of limbo and then all the sudden hes fine with it? and he literally loses his emotions like what the #actual fuck. one of the kindest characters in the tvdu and he just. got so screwed over. and that applies to raf just as much. like. jesus #christ. #anyway yknow whatever i guess #rafaelwaitheedit #legaciesedit #legacies edit #legacies #rafael waithe edit #rafael waithe #nbvethbrenatto #tvduedit #tvdu edit #tvdu #tvdverseedit #tvdverse #character

#so i wanted to record the bridge and clockwork tower nemesis fight cutscene at the end yesterday i turned off subs for the bridge scene and #got it recorded then i turned them on automatically and forgot immediately cut to me finishing the battle and cutscene cue with subtitles 🤡 #ok;;; then i had to replay the mission and fight nemesis again with subs off for sure now only to turn them off immediately after the fight #*ON immediately #thinking there won't be any cutscene and i just started gathering whatever ammo is left scattered around 🤡 #my 6th sense told me the second i approached the gates you know what there might be a cutscene but it was too late cutscene started and the #subs are on!🤡🤡🤡 #now i have to replay this fight again to record the tower gate cutscene 💀💀💀 #not even mentioning i had to replay this fight like 2-3 times before to get the strategybdkfgkdks💀 #the only good thing about this fight is it's actually really watered down so far compared to mr x and G fights in re2r #like this fight is an annoying chore not an annoying pain in the @ss that were re2r boss fights at least :'D #i accumulated a lot of grenade launcher ammo prior to this and with the extra stuff scattered around the area it was enough to defeat nemesi #also bless the dodging in this remake i feel like it's much better than in re2r? like fr if i concentrate on it nemesis barely scratched #jill at all during the entire fight compared to me getting leon's ass consistently swoopeed by G and mr. x 💀 #*whooped #so far overall re3r feels much easier than re2r for me at least #tbd
