I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

#animation #animated film #animated movies #across the spiderverse #across the spider-verse #spiderverse #puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots 2 #nimona #nimona film #yes i'm posting this specifically because i just watched nimona and am feeling all kinds of things but really these are all PEAK TIER #the fact they have ALL been released within 7 months of each other...like...woah we are thriving right now #stylised animation with its own unique style reflecting the movie i love you forever kissing you on the mouth #films that make me ferally rip up any and all art blocks to shreds #and that's just the animation side of things #i won't get started on the plots. they also make me want to bounce off of walls #hugging all these close to my chest #as well as all the other great animated movies that exist because animation wins all catergories for me always #(let's not forget anime movies either; y'all are beautiful too! keeping 2d animation alive and i'm so here for it)

something really cool happened today that i wanted to share:

my nephew is 9 years old, and a stereotypical little boy. he likes dinosaurs, minecraft, and ninjas.

today i walked in on him excitedly watching Nimona with my dad. (minor spoiler warning!)

i had never heard of it, but i sat down and watched some of it, just to see why he was so happy.

he started narrating it, anticipating parts of it, almost as if he’d seen it before. he had.

we didn’t get to finish it, but i watched it on my own, because it looked fun and i wanted to see how it ended.

and i loved it. it was a fun, exciting, fantastical adventure about the importance of acceptance people who are different to us.

and it had a very clear queer subplot.

one that my nephew hadn’t mentioned at all in his explanation of the film. his summary was “it’s about a monster who helps a knight that was framed for killing the queen”.

and honestly yeah, that is what the film was about.

before sharing it with us, he had watched it all, engrossed himself in the story, took it in entirely, and the part he cared about most was whether Nimona got her acceptance. he wasn’t indoctrinated, or confused, or questioning anything about himself.

he didn’t bat an eyelid over a gay love confession. he just enjoyed the film, raved about it, made my 60 year old dad watch the movie about the monster who didn’t fit in.

he’s still the same little boy who’s been asking us how to get a girlfriend.

the only thing a movie centred around queer and queer-coded characters taught my nephew was that those who are different to him are not monsters. that’s it.

and that dragons are really cool.

#serena talks #sorry for the rant it just made me really happy #it’s been a long time since i saw the world through a childs eyes and it was great #nimona #nimona spoilers #i’m (mostly) straight and cis but i can’t imagine how beautiful this film is from queer and specifically trans perspective

recently i reread a bunch of my favorite sherlock holmes stories (norw my beloved) and felt compelled to create my own diagram for 221B

#sherlock holmes #there are so many great blueprints and maps out there and i thought it would be fun to toss my own hat into the ring #trying to be accurate to what is mentioned in the books #while still allowing for some fun artistic embellishments #was a nice challenge! #i ended up doing lestrades office too but of course you never do see that in canon so it was much more vibes~ based #i am going to color this and spruce it up some but we needed break here before diving back in #since i think the timelapse of this drawing is longer than some feature films 💀💀💀 #anyway definitely open these images in a new tab and zoom in if you can bc these are really big

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag show club full of trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

#ramblings #long post #not art #personal #it's the ultimate found family movie #not without its problems. i really dont like its depiction of mental health #for a movie that does an otherwise great job spotlighting the unhoused crisis in japan and its society's oppressive distain towards women #and queer people. it really drops the ball on depicting one of the biggest contributors to the crisis #but otherwise this movie is so fucking full of love and kindness and second chances and how fucking good queer folks and poc are #it blows my mind that this film came out in 2003 and the main protagonist is a trans woman who's just the fucking best #the recent gkids dub is REALLY good by the way! they got shakina nayfack; a trans va; to voice Hana! #the dub made great strides to undo a lot of the original misgendering and mistranslations #also its a christmas movie #also the ost was done by the band that did earthbound's ost

Glass onion script team really said "we've hidden the meaning of the film under several layers of plot, but yes. the message is just as obvious as the title indicates. all you really need to see is that powerful billionnaires don't deserve shit and CAN be taken down by force" and it's very direct action of them

#glass onion #ryan johnson #knives out #yeah you go last shot of the film #a big old obvious 'you're next' nice and simple #really fun how the film stated the obvious and had a great time doing it #really went 'reminder: billionnaires are dumb' #+ 'reminder: they can't be punished by the law' #+ 'reminder: we need to push them around until it gets serious' #yeah #simple and efficient

If the media landscape is going to be just remakes and reboots from now til the end of humanity, can we at least start doing what Scott Pilgrim Takes Off did, which was recontextualize its previous iterations rather than overwrite them? It never said "the books and the live action film are in the trash now, this is the new canon." What it actually said was "the books and live action film are my predecessors, I will build on what they made and have conversations with what they said." And I think that fucking rules

#ragsycon exclusive #scott pilgrim #spto spoilers #??? kinda not really #i watched it all in one sitting while doing a jigsaw puzzle on Saturday it was very nice #super thanks to jules for lending me your netflix!!! #my biggest critique of it (which i think a lot of people agree with) is that the original film cast is great.... on film. #none of them are voice actors lmao. #WELL that's not entirely true. Aubrey plaza and jason schwartzmann fucking killed it as always #but michael cera and mary Elizabeth Winstead seemed a little stiff

The Boy and The Heron, 2023.

#gonna start doing this when i see a movie bc i never do lol #the boy and the heron #studio ghibli #studio ghibli edit #ghibliedit #ghibli films #hayao miyazaki #animated movies #movieedit #filmedit #i enjoyed this a lot #dont think the small child who was in front of me felt the same tho she def got bored and scared a few times its not really a little kid #friendly film #older kid sure but not baby lmao poor thing #but yeah great animation beautiful movie

[stevethehairington]

everyone i see saying "omg oliver really said eat the rich!!!1!111!!!!" are COMPLETELY missing the point of that movie. it was not an "eat the rich movie", it wasn't about class in that sense AT ALL. it was very much about desire and obsession and consumption. not class!!

#saltburn #sure class plays a small role in it #but its literally revealed that oliver ISNT poor he isnt living a bad life in a bad home in wanting conditions #he has a middle class family that seems fairly stable financially #he literally makes up all the stuff about having terrible parents who were neglectful and drunk all the time #so it really is not about him infiltrating this family to steal their money and property #not at all!!!!! #yeah he becomes obsessed with a boy from a rich family but it is not BECAUSE he is rich #that has nothing to do with it!! #and people who look at this film and only see it as an 'eat the rich' movie are doing it a GREAT disservice #they are fundamentally misunderstanding it

could you draw Chopper? please

I have a lot of things that I'm procrastinating on so ofc I'm gonna draw for asks, that makes perfect sense

anyway, I saw film Gold recently and one of the things I liked was Chopper's outfit he had in the beginning!

#my art #asks #candyglumboy #chopper #film gold #one piece #for the film gold itself I thught it was mid it felt much more one note compared to Baron Omatsuri and Dead End Adventure that I saw later #but it still was an enjoyable watch in a way that it had me thinking how it could be made better #some themes and new characters and devil fruits were really interesting #just treated rather surface level imo #Dead End Adventure on the other hand was really great

[Image description: A digital painting of Jack Goodman from An American Werewolf in London. It shows his face and the top of his shoulders. He's staring off into the distance with a slight smile. His neck is ripped ragged, comprised solely of exposed viscera. The wounds stretch up onto his face, mostly destroying his left cheek. It travels up in two raw lines across his face. Some of his jacket is torn and bloodied too. Jack is mostly drawn with greens and yellows with reds primarily coming from the gore. There's a light blue shirt shoulder in the bottom left corner. Over it, in a dark yellow, there's silhouettes of Jack and David walking. The shoulder looks like a path behind them. The background is mauve, coloured in with scratchy lines.]

#farscape #john x aeryn #claudia black #ben browder #the show's creator did plan for it to be a love story btwn John x Aeryn #but Ben and Claudia wanted to have as much input as possible to make sure it stayed that way #and the show was very collaborative so they did have a lot of input #and they made a lot of really great acting choices #in 2019 Claudia said there had been a storyline that didn't sit well with either of them #because they felt that John and Aeryn only had their hearts on each other #but it sounds like they were bringing in another woman for John to have a thing with ig #idk if they're talking about Jenavian in LATP #but I know Ben protested against that #but he didn't win that time ugh #the vid from 2019 is mine #sorry for the camera work #i was trying to film with my phone but also making sure I was in the moment #and actually watching the panel with my own eyes and not through my phone screen #so sometimes it went off-center #my gifs #my gifs: farscape

I watched the boy and the heron and was immediately possessed by the urge to make these ! Its been a while since I've busted out the polymer clay so these are my rough little prototypes (and just sealed with mod podge since my gloss glaze has long since dried out rip) hoping to make more in the new year to sell at some local conventions!

#the boy and the heron #studio ghibli #hayao miyazaki #warawara #polymer clay #no spoilers here but i really liked the movie #i know we all joke about miyazaki never retiring but the boy and the heron really felt like the final entry in his body of work #it was like all the previous movies were leading up to this finale #so if you are able to see it in cinemas you should go! #might be the last chance to see his work on screen but excited to see where ghibli goes next #that was my take away at least #what a great film im seeing it again next week and will be wearing these #in dub this time!
