824 The One Where Rachel Has A Baby

Her face and the way she squeezes him and rises on her toes and smiles is wonderfully beautiful in this scene.

people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.

#red said #also there are posts and tweets like THIS IS JUST FOR MCU FANS #like please go on demonstrating how you've adopted 'mcu fan' as a shorthand for 'person who likes films i don't' #or 'person who likes films that are popular' #because the defining features of mcu films are that they're high budget irony poisoned derivative works #targeted at a broad audience so aiming to be accessible and inoffensive #and it really seems. like 'accessible' is the part of that you object to #bc EEAAO is a highly original A24 indie film with a 14.5m budget which is NOTHING #it's made mostly with practical effects and sets #and most importantly it's beautifully painfully earnest. it's never trying to shy away or go Hey Look How Silly This Is 😏 #everything is driven by its earnest desire to talk about specific themes #i think the people comparing it negatively to mcu films are stuck on the fact that it's about a multiverse and it's got jokes #and colourful action scenes #but they miss that the referential jokes (like racacoonie) and setpieces aren't the point of the film

ava + her gay little hat - part I

#ava silva #warrior nun #warriornunedit #avatrice #avatriceedit #avasilvaedit #alba baptista #honestly tho #like #she's my favorite character of all time #i think it's easy to say it when you're caught up in a fandom #but ava's past resonates with me so much #it's why i enjoy writing her so much #but also her endless embracing of life #the fact that she finds love and family for the first time in twelve years and fights for it with everything she has #not to mention how beautifully portrayed she is by alba #it's the perfect storm of a character and she's my favorite #also the hat is so fucking cute i can't stand it #bea bought her that hat #i will take that to my grave

rough painting/sketch?? thing from my characters + environments class! we did a quick prompt for villains based on fears (the one i ended up getting was megalophobia/the fear of things that are Too Big)

weather and severe storms (and tornadoes specifically) have been a special interest of mine since childhood and it just so happened that many of the images you get when searching that fear were tornadoes so 100% used this as an excuse to draw a tornado... person? thing? sure yea. 

 this is real messy and i dont plan on revisiting this anytime soon but it works for what i needed it for!

#froxart #art #digital painting #its like the taurnado from centaurworld but like. a person and not a horse. #that entire sequence lives in my brain both for the fact that its connected to my interest in storms and also. its just beautifully animated #full disclosure i dont consider myself a painter. tried something ab it different here and it certainly works but like not my fav #STILL really happy with this composition though #character design #tornado #cw tornado #ask to tag #undescribed #froxposting

While the dependant plants in Trigun Stampede look cool as combination of angelic alien orchids and some sea creatures in their little aquariums, im intensely bitter because of how literal they made it (oh they really are plants plants huh) and the lack of the absurdly massive light bulbs they resided in in the 98 anime and manga..Like, Not all of the light bulbs were humongous, hanging over towns, but the ones that were, were mindboggling...There is something intense about something so powerful (and kinda eldritch) being captured in something so massive yet fragile looking.  I loved the old bulb and plant designs so much because they werent just cool aesthetics... I loved them because their size and design didnt make sense. As a man made horrors beyond our comprehension shouldnt make sense. And their visuals evoke in me memories of how it felt standing at a foot of a 125 meters tall cooling tower of a nuclear power plant. Its monumental, useful and potentially very dangerous... so much so one has to feel humbled.

- Plants in trigun 98 (we didnt learn much about them because there wasnt enough of material to work with)

- Plants in the manga...whats important to note, is  that the plants often stood over the towns as in constant vigil (monumental yet sentient)... not just visible from all around by everyone, but they themselves kept on observing all the people living their lives underneath their bulbs... All the people prospering from their services.... or fighting and killing over them

- Plants in Stampede.. While they are still interesting designs, the little aquariums conveniently small enough to be more easily stolen dont do it for me, even though they still represent the power of captured nature. They are also...very very sheltered from humans. Hidden and overlooked, although important.. Which makes me sad. And doubtful that there will be many interaction scenes between them and the people... Hopefully in next season there will be big bulbs and interactions.. but who knows.. (Ok, like, it makes sense that a core of a power plant should be hidden and protected inside of a building,  but I wish to see some big bulbs!! I wish to see them spilled out of the wreckages of the big space ships)

And to illustrate what I meant about the comparison to actual nuclear power plants in their absurd monumental insanity (which is somewhat also sort of mundane??).. here are some photos of our nuclear power plants. Dukovany and Temelín

-Dukovany photo by Zdeněk Dvořák

- Temelín as the Big Night Watchman (video mapping by Milan Cais, photo by ČTK)

I love this sort of thing so much n need more of it.

#trigun #power plants #trigun maximum #trimax #trigun stampede #thoughts #text post #other peoples photography #temelín #dukovany #personal gripes #in the end most of the things i dont like about stampede come from the fact that they dont lean into what i loved about the older versions #like.. all the very specific things that i enjoy #but it gets point for the scene where knives opened that trap door under vash into something #that looked like nuclear power plant core #with the beautifully blue water #long post #trigun 98 #im also gonna that this as #the allure of the machine #and #because who am i kidding #eroticism of the machine #cause big macinery but also kinda sexy but uncanny feminine angelic eldritch beings #man made horrors #dukovany and temelín my beloved thank you for your service

Me (based on having heard Hugh sing "Waterloo"):

"Well, yeah! Hugh seems to have a very good singing voice! But I don't understand why Joey would be intimidated by - "

"Oh. Nevermind!"

#Hugh Skinner #Radovid #Jaskier #Joly #Harry Bright #The Windsors #Look “Waterloo” is absolutely beautifully sung #but it doesn't really showcase Hugh's range #And he's part of an ensemble in #Les Misérables #so singling out his voice as Joly when everyone is singing is a bit difficult to do... #And the few “solo lines” he has are almost all in a spoken tone #And then #they had his voice dubbed by an actual opera singer for #Falling for Figaro #And he was pretending to sing badly in “The Romanoffs”... #And trying to pretend he didn't really know how to sing / was awfully shy about it on “The Witcher” #So I had a bit of a hard time getting an actual sense of his vocal abilities #Still can't get over the fact that the first time I finally have some idea of how vocally talented Hugh Skinner is #Is while hearing him sing about properly working toilets! #For fuck's sake why?!?!?! #That being said I wouldn't say that his talent would outshine Joey's because the way Joey uses his voice is absolutely brilliant! #He has his own unique sound that is tremendously appealing and relies a lot on emotional layering and his ability #to make an emotional connection with his audience. #But I can understand how singing alongside someone that seems to be more classically trained could be intimidating for him. #My Posts

Sweet Dreams <3

#my art #pokemon #galarian ponyta #digital art #hiiii everyone hello please look at my darling angel Amalthea. shes my partner pokemon in pokednd <3 #most of our pokemon went missing so Mia (my character) took our remaining pokemon to get their pictures taken in case they go missing #i did in fact draw all three of them. am going to work on doing digital versions of the other two #its all of our partner pokemons :3 ponyta. impidimp. and mankey <3 #the sketches i did for the other two are so fun i cant wait to draw them #impidimp's made my cousins all laugh so hard they almost cried #this session was so fun and we also talked afterwards about pokemon we may want on our teams in the future #and honestly my potential line up for Mia feels so good #her next pokemon she gets is very possibly going to be a bewear. absolutely out of left field choice but it works so beautifully #im also thinking good options for her would be breloom. grumpig. wyrdeer. maybe mimikyu. #grumpig and breloom are honestly the top of the list. they suit her so beautifully #wyrdeer is also really good. mimikyu would be up to roleplay #mimikyu and bewear would both play into her animal handling skill #mimikyu would also end up disguised as a sylveon #probably play that as mimikyu wanting to fit in with Mia's team since she's really nice to it and it wants her to be its trainer #bewear on the other hand would 1. work well aesthetically for her and 2. would be fantastic roleplay material what with it being a giant #aggro bear and mia is just this gentle giant who is so fucking good with pokemon so its like well. #the nice girl wants me to be nice so i wont kill you because i like her. she gives me snacks and pets me and treats me well

man the way Magnus entrusted his relic to Jack and June because they were good people with rustic hospitality and it turned an entire town into a place of betrayal and coups and distrust and finally an inescapably looping nightmare for years where death was perpetually an hour away and the way that the town was ultimately saved with kindness to animals through reuniting the purple worm with her children and the self-sacrifice of the town's self-appointed protector

and the way Merle's relic took love that had bloomed from rivalry and twisted it into a desperate need to prove oneself capable and better, to become unto a god, the way it drove Sloane to run away from everyone she cared about rather than reach out to them for help, and the way it was only stopped with peacemaking, with reaching back for her still when all hope seemed lost, with Hurley leaping headfirst into silverpoint knowing full well she would be killed but doing it because she cared about the person inside even at her worst, even when she was irredeemable, even when no one else would think to find anything human left in there at all

and the way Taako's relic was put to the use of science and exploration and used, for a while, successfully, but with too much greed, with too much selfishness, with too much focus on Maureen and Lucas's goals and too little trust of other people's word on how dangerous these relics are, the way it ultimately became the tool of a creature trying to claw its way back to the life and loved ones it knew and had lost, a creature that had long since lost its sense of self, that had merged with others just to survive, and the way familial love was necessary to stop it, the way Lucas got to his worst out of love of his mother and the desperation to do anything to get her back, the way he got brought back to his senses by that same love and the realization of how badly he'd failed her, the way he was still an untrustworthy dick at the end but they let him go anyway and he came back when it mattered

the way Lup's relic was locked away for a decade and ultimately uncovered and reactivated by Gundran's desperate desire to reclaim what once belonged to his family, the way it was not stopped, the way the loss of Phandalin haunts the narrative, a reminder of failure and of people the boys couldn't save

the way Davenport's relic gets caught up in a game of smoke and mirrors while on the harsh time limit of the end of a journey, the way part of Jenkins' ploy is that he seems utterly unthreatening, the way Hudson's death and the loss of his head in particular is practically collateral damage, the way the train could not be saved but this time the people were

the way Barry's relic is in the hands of two liches who are very obvious and intentional foils to him and Lup, but even more than that, the way it's so buried in the suffering of losing everything that makes you yourself, over and over and over and over and over, the way Wonderland is designed to make you eventually dependent on this cycle of loss just to stay alive, the way it's only beaten by changing the rules of the game

and of course the way Lucretia's relic stays glued to her side, the emblem and reason for her loneliness, isolating her in a bubble of her own making, until, of course, she lets her family back in, and as raw and painful a reunion as it is, as it has to be, because you can't stay safe from your mistakes forever, the seven of them together find the solution she could not find alone

#taz #taz: balance #i am drawing narrative parallels in the sand #some of these. particularly the later ones. are obviously intentional #but some of them definitely WEREN'T and yet they work so beautifully anyway #sometimes you don't know what story you're telling until you've finished it #and you look back and find it isn't all just loose threads trailing behind you #you have in fact woven them together even if you didn't realize it

Did anyone notice how when Viserys hosted the last supper that his disfigured face was towards the Greens?

Like, what POETIC imagery?!?!?! His true heir, sitting to his left, leaving Viserys only able to see her and her kids and what's meant to be the future of the Targaryen line on one side. On his right, his wife and her father sit where he is LITERALLY turning a blind eye to them and all their misdoings, allowing them to fester and gnaw away at him and his resolve (literally and figuratively)?!?!?

The HotD writers quite literally comparing the Greens to a disease when they've already been compared to rats in previous episodes is just *chef's kiss* symbolism.

#house of the dragon #hotd #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #alicent hightower #otto hightower #aegon ii #jacerys velaryon #lucerys targaryen #aemond targaryen #like... I have a lot of qualms with hotd #but THIS made me sit up straight #like #IT'S RIGHT THERE #It's not like they've been subtle about the fact that Rhaenyra should be Queen #but it's just another nail in the coffin #and it's so beautifully subtle???

[thekidsarentalright]

also y'know even IF the lyrics in what a time to be alive were 'cringe' (they aren't) what's wrong with that? what's wrong with being a little lighthearted and not taking yourself too seriously? in the face of feeling like the world is ending and everything is going wrong and your only response is going. what a time to be alive! what's wrong with trying to lighten that? with not being able to express it in a perfectly artistic and deep way? what's wrong w a lyric being human and imperfect??

#i believe the fact that it ISNT beautifully poetic makes it. in turn. poetic. it makes it artistic #the sarcasm and passive aggression and helpless is expressed so perfectly in the lyrics so EVEN IF IT WAS CRINGE!!! WHY IS THAT BAD!!!!!! #i swear people just cant stand to think critically abt anything ever unless the thinking is handed to them #txt #p: 100

[chodzacaparodia]

I secretly hope that Rin has some German insults up his sleeve for Kaiser, because I want to believe that his emo ass knows Tokyo Hotel (when this band was still emo) and thanks to them he learned some of the language.

… or just in case, he learned a few insults in the most popular languages, because you never know what nationality the person he will hate will be.

#he trash talked so beautifully in English #I would like him to surprise in other languages ​​as well #another random thought occurred while working #hot anime boys get me through my days at work #I also love the fact that then I randomly remember that certain artists exist #does anyone know this band or am I the only one who has childhood flashbacks? xD #rin itoshi #michael kaiser #blue lock #bllk #blue lock manga #bllk manga

no i’d rather not hang out at yours tonight. my nightly routine involves reading about gay people kissing until an ungodly hour and then passing out in my own deep and entrenched longing and i am completely secure about it
