girl anachronism - the dresden dolls (gore warning)

ive never made an animatic before but through the sheer will of an intense oc fixation and way too much caffeine i made this all in one night B)

the character is my demon hunting gal Lena who i am currently insane about :)

#my own art #animatic #lena #fantasy oc #gore #RIGHT SO #i have not done this sorta animation/whatnot since middleschool and even then it was barely surface level #so apologies if its rough #also i really shouldve picked a slower song for my first attempt fuck #lena u are my favorite empty husk of a person #<3 #honestly ive been stuggling with expressing my self lately so this is sorta a vent piece in a way #lena gets to feel empty and performative because if i have to suffer so do my characters >:(

ok i need to get this off my chest abt totk's dungeon soundtracks this isnt necessarily a criticism but just a... idk man its confusing hang on

ok. totk's dungeon themes. theyre good im not going to lie they arent my favorite of the series but totk did deliver some good dungeon themes. what i'm confused about is the choice to use the champion's and divine beast's leitmotifs in the dungeons, like using daruks theme and bits of rudania's theme for the fire temple. that's the first that comes to mind cuz thats the one i like best but i think it was especially noticeable to me for the wind temple, the water temple's theme has some similar instrumentation and some very similar sounding phrases and when i see comments or people talking abt the dungeon themes it is very common to see people talk about the champion and divine beast leitmotifs being used.

and like. fine it sounds nice there is an emotional connection there if you have played botw but like. why are their fucking leitmotifs in totk's dungeon themes???

if you give a character or something a leitmotif, then that little string of notes represents that character or location or concept. usage of that leitmotif is therefore intrinsically tied to that character or whatever. this worked out with zelda's theme throughout the series, esp in totk when it's given the instrumentation of the dragon's themes, so that musical phrase at that moment basically says 'zelda, but a dragon' and like. yknow. leitmotif that literally represents something.

i believe the wind temple's theme incorporates some of rito villages theme, and in turn rito village having the same melody as dragon roost island makes sense, that's effectively a motif meant to represent the rito, like the reoccurring zora's domain and goron city motifs throughout the series, or hyrule castle. when characters have themes in past zelda games that play at different times, it means something about the character being referenced. midna's lament using midna's theme to show that this scene is about midna, she is in danger. fi's different themes playing when she is the center of attention or her leitmotif referenced in botw/totk when she literally makes subtle cameos. linebeck's theme only every plays in scenes where he has some sort of big moment or in the final boss theme because it's only fair that the final boss theme include the motif that represents him because he is the final boss. groose's theme shows up various times in his little scenes (and i believe there might be hints of it in later imprisoned themes?? i'd have to check but it would make sense since he's helping)

so... if you reuse a leitmotif that is tied to something, then reasonably that means that the context in which it's being reused is somehow related to or concerning what that leitmotif represents.

but... daruk's theme and some bits reminiscent of rudania's theme play in the fire temple's theme. reasonably, i would hear this and be like, ah, so this has something to do with daruk, or the divine beast? the usage of his character leitmotif suggests that he is related to this somehow. thats... usually the point of using a character leitmotif like was done in the fire temple's theme!

and yet the champions and divine beasts are not so much as referenced in totk's stories, and you can't even try to the point of their themes being used due to the new sages being relatives, because tulin is not related to revali- he doesn't even get the great eagle bow until after the dungeon, and still no reference to revali is made when he gets it.

so then... why are we referencing botw's champions if they do not matter? why not use the sage's leitmotifs in the dungeon themes instead? the dungeons are much more related to the new sages, and it would allow players to become more familiar to that leitmotif, and would further tie the experience to that dungeon with its related sage, instead of tying it to dead characters that mean jack shit to the story of totk.

it's just really weird that they use motifs from the champions and divine beasts, since that won't click for people who didn't play botw, and it just calls back to stuff not important to totk anyways. the divine beasts have literally no relation to the dungeons, the champions are barely even relevant to the world in totk. i get that the leitmotifs were used as like... maybe some sort of extra pre-existing racial connection motifs, but... use the sage's themes? don't use leitmotifs that have absolutely nothing to do with this game or it's story? sure it sounds nice but the meaning behind those leitmotifs make no actual sense in this new context, unless you're trying to suggest that they actually have a different meaning than being the motifs of the characters and locations that were originally what they were used for.

#this is less criticism and more of 'why the fuck was this done actually' #like i get it but also as like. someone who knows what a leitmotif is and what it does why the fuck was this done within context #please use the new sages' themes or smth i deadass do not know what they sound like off the top of my head #salty talks #totk #loz #legend of zelda #i just. its like a weird immersion breaker for me bc im used to hearing character theme motifs when its like. yknow related to the characte #so if i hear a bit of daruk's theme i instantly think of daruk but like. ok? he has nothing to do with anything in the game #its just confusing they honestly shouldve made more use of the sage's themes #EDIT: HEY IF IM WRONG ABT THE TOTK DUNGEONS NOT REFERENCING SAGE LEITMOTIFS PLS CALL ME OUT #LIKE DEADASS. TELL ME IF IM WRONG PLEASE #my point abt referencing divine beast and champions themes stand but seriously #i gave the sage themes a listen and part of yunobo's theme does remind me of fire temple so i might just be short on research here #bitching abt totk

I didnt know the tags woulr be so much i shouldve just wrote a long vent 😭😭😭 rip

#lol. there are still times where my brain goes omg what if you’re really a narc #and then i go out of my way to make sure my friends are as comfortable as possible and thati meet all their needs and i apologize every few #minutes for something silly or for maybe hurting them unintentionally and then i remember of #every fallout w people in my life where i was always taking responsibility for my actions n for my role to what led to the fallouts no #matter how toxic the person was and i remember all the times i geniunely apologized to my siblings for my mistakes (without them pointing #out i did smth wrong) and i remember all the tomes someone told me i hurt them and i owned up to it and apologized and then i go #oh ywa. maybe not ? #bonus: all the times i helped someone out in secret to bring some ease in their life without ever telling them or bragging eith it or #using it against them or reminding them that i did x y z for them #and then all the times where my guilt ate me up at nights and i cried and the times where i brought out the best of people because my love #is Nuturing. yea #AND I GUESS THE FACT THAT MY EX BEST FRIEND TOLD ME IM A NARC AND I STRAIGHT UP WENT OMG YEA!

Also you have no idea how funny this is out of context especially with me momentarily forgetting that's the name of one of the pallets

i do often think abt the fact that instance is the only medical professional on the ship bc besk is dead. i often think abt how between them the burden of the colony's health was on their shoulders and then besk died and now it was just instance's job. now she's got a fourteen year old talking about aliens and a twelve year old having a breakdown and shaving all her hair and it's up to Her to deal with it. her, of all people,

#instance is aware she doesnt have a good bedside manner i think it comes up in medbay stuff #before besk died she didnt need it............. #i think abt this stuff a lot. god. besk/instance............. #teenexo stuff #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers #honestly i think instance fucks up a lot but i do get why she makes the choices she does in delusion run #in some ways i have more sympathy for her there than i do for some of her other choices LOL #like of course from the protags pov its not good but also like #sol nearly dies. multiple times. #sol is constantly sneaking out of the walls on a brand new planet htey know nothing about #and is justifying it w/talking abt seeing the future and having dreams of things theyve done before and like #idk! theyre putting themself in deeply dangerous situations as a result #i get why instance is trying to do everything she can to mitigate that #do i think its good? no. do i think literally anyone shouldve picked up a therapy course before then? yeah #however. however. i do have sympathy. #this got away from me lmao. god #sorry for liking women with problems do you still think im sexy

Idk if I would recommend totk over botw if I'm being honest. I didn't find the emptiness other people have mentioned feeling, and when it is there it feels natural and not at all awkward to me. It felt peaceful, it felt thematically correct with the world and what was going on. Totk doesn't, it's awkward and a Frankenstein of a beast. It can be jarring, awkwardly and uncomfortably open and boring, and for all of the new features it feels less fun to play. It feels like the developers tried to do a sandbox type game and failed on every front.

I didn't want to find botw in totk but unfortunately I'm finding too much and not enough of it in it. I wanted it to be it's own thing. It just feels wrong. It feels like it failed at everything it tried to be and became the things it didn't.

#totk criticism #totk #totk spoilers #totk spoiler #i don't think its fun #honestly i think they couldve just improved the mount system and threw away the entire “mechanical” aspect #flying mounts? #underground sick as hell dark mounts? #like what the fuck #i feel like they could've done so msny things #and they just #didnt #6 years for like #for what? #it couldn't have been a dlc but it sure feels like it shouldve

that fake rain apology thing that Abed does in s5 is quite possibly the most romantic thing ever done and i will forever be bitter that he didn't get to do it to Troy instead

#community #community tv #nbc community #abed nadir #troy barnes #trobed #its. okay. if either troy or abed had been a woman #they wouldve ended up together #i say that without a single doubt in my mind #and honestly the fact that they were not made canon is just homophobia #like im not rlly joking at all #like the queer coding of troy barnes is so so compelling on its own but #those 2 shouldve kissed and lived happily ever after #i canr honestly say that abt a lot of ships but. these two. they shouldve been made canon #and wouldve been if they had been a straight couple #anyway im done now

There is something interesting about how often the earlier a deconstruction of a genre that would later get a Whole Ton Of Them is the more likely it is to actually go deep into the Actual Faults of the genre.

Like again Vigilante 1983 is not perfect, constantly back and forths on if Adrians right or wrong, and goes insane in the last set of issues (before the last three which go back to being great) but I still think its a way better deconstruction of the idea of a violent vigilante hero guy then other stuff that claims to do the same thing but is incapable of letting its cool male leads look actually vulnerable or stupid for longer then a panel or two

#Yeah Im vaguing Ennis again #I think it says something about the way people see stuff like that the main thing people talk about with Vigilante is #the ending. I think Ennis fucking destroyed antihero deconstruction comics honestly #made everybody think you have to be extremely gorey and violent and have alot of violence against women to be #Cool and Adult. I fucking hate Ennis dude #alot of these types of comics do get scenes of people calling the main tough guy a dumb idiot but then he always gets #a big splash page of like shooting a whole ton of goons and ripping peoples heads off to compensate #or to show him going DEEPER INTO THE VIOLENCEEEE #Also kind of vaguing the huston moonknight run now too. I hate the Huston run. New take from me Ive never said that before I know #ok done talking about vigilante now. #one more thing: also theres a reason the best mainstream superhero deconstruction was made by a anarchist. #and part of what makes Vigilante good is them acknowledging that these assholes are all rightwing #even if it is obviously way less critical of that then it shouldve been
