i'm so convinced that every writer for every big show or movie that has the main character have an amputation is not personally close with an amputee

with the exception of maybe forrest gump bc i thought lt. dan was very convincing and compelling

but like. they make getting and maintaining prosthetics look easy. they make it look not very painful (or the pain is super temporary). they don't bring up the emotional distress being an amputee can create, and if they bring up the ableism, it's a distasteful joke. all the negativity is done upon amputation and never beyond. and that's just so unrealistic i think. unless i, myself, am the world's most sensitive bitchy amputee.

#eli talks #ableism #the way amputees and prosthetics in media are treated... #it's like “ok! they're all better now! it's like they aren't disabled at all!” #and like while yes it's good to have amputee characters thriving... uh... #maybe that sucks if that's all you get to see too? #it might make abled people think that we're fine 100% of the time and don't need support #which is DEFINITELY my fucking experience #asoiaf in general has awesome disabled rep thank you grrm #i love lt. dan even if he's pathetic and sad and he has the “look im all better now” reveal at the end #he was written so realistically and i relate to him a lot #esp after losing my ability to use my prosthetic for 3 years #i think the skywalkers are *cool* rep but they really just like #lose their HANDS and then move on with their lives like nothing happened #as if that isn't a disconnection of how they can communicate and receive information from the world... #hershel from twd show was *cool* rep as well but like they just found a fucking leg hanging around??? #and it HAPPENED to be the right socket size and fit and height??? #idk i really could just be nitpicky. idk.

so, final verdict: I’m neutral on the Netflix live action avatar. It’s ok. It had some really effective scenes that made me super excited and cheering at my screen, and one particular scene that actually made me tear up, but also a lot of clunkiness and odd characterization and narrative choices that weakened the experience. Overall, it was decidedly average to me, but I’m really really hoping it doesn’t get cancelled. What a treat to see an entirely poc cast kicking ass on my screen. Now someone please give them a better script and dialogue for season 2.

#also if anyone is mean to cast I’m kicking you in the shins. they did great with what they had. #…what the hell did they do with yue though. what was that. #also I have. very mixed feelings on actively seeing the airbenders get killed. #idk. they could not keep a consistent tone for the first half of the show. #it definitely suffers from netflix-isms too. everyone is more serious/more ‘you’re not taking me seriously ughhh’ #I also wasn’t perfectly happy with the depiction of the spirits but I may just be being nitpicky #storyrambles #I have a lot of thoughts actually #my mom really liked it though and if I’m too negative in front of her she’ll get annoyed with me. :/ #but yeah. I am neutral about it. In the way that some things were awesome and some things irritate the hell out of me #also I wish I could go and tell script writers that it’s ok to show and not tell. I promise your audience is intelligent. Take my hand.

very confused of the speculated disorder people have put on lady dimitrescu's wiki page 🧍🏼 cause she can go in the sun and is fine... like she literally patrols the courtyard in game?? the daughters are who that would more likely apply to considering their boss fights. and the fact that in the maid's diary, it says the "young ladies" were the ones who shrieked in unison for the maid to close the window after they had opened it

#leah.txt #like yes what they put could cause anaemia so like miss ma'am is still covered there and there is the aspect with haemoglobin but she can #go out in the sun just fine like i don't think that is ever mentioned? and she follows ethan out to where the dagger is also so idk #i know it's a heme metabolism disorder but her medical report specifically said blood disorder and not metabolic disorder so idk #am i being nitpicky because i have a blood disorder and i went !!! when i read her medical report?? absolutely. but idk i know people just #grabbed that cause the myths with vampires but she seems to be fine with photosensitivity?? idk i'm not a doctor and don't have degrees so #i'm talking out of my ass and just from my experience of having a blood disorder (vwd) but she seems to me to have a type of thalassemia #like it's obvious she has a decrease in haemoglobin production hence transfusions yada yada she can't regenerate without consuming blood #because her tissues aren't receiving enough oxygen. so obvious anaemia there. but also the fact that in her medical report miranda says #that if her regeneration (so blood consumption needed) aren't properly balanced then she will mutate uncontrollably and idk that made me #think of transfusional iron overload that can happen with thalassemia so then yeah obviously her body would go all out of whack and cause #tissue damage. you know? idk why i am thinking so hard on this she's a video game character lmaoooo #i mean i know there's also slowed growth rates with thalassemia but we don't know how tall she was before the cadou made her regeneration #cause her to grow so tall so who really knows? not me #she could just have a specific type of anaemia that is inherited so idk

just sent a hastily-made new resume to a hiring manager at a place i might get a summer job at and realized after sending it that it still has “MONTH 20XX – MONTH 20XX” written for one of my past jobs’ durations fucking shoot me

#kibumblabs #whatever man all that info is on the application anyway idk why she even asked me for an additional resume #if they’re gonna be that nitpicky about a seasonal pool host job that’s on them #i am literally a restaraunt/hotel host I think i have the credentials to be a host for a hotel pool #granted it is like. probably the most expensive hotel in town. so not just any pool. but i digress #i should also get extra pull from already being a hyatt employee at a different hyatt. like come on. you wouldn’t have to make me do all #the stupid company mandated online trainings. because I’ve already done them. isn’t that tempting. come on #the one main thing I’m worried about with this job is the fact that i’d be Outside in the Summer #you know. in Hell World #and I’d work all evenings to avoid that more or less if I could but my main job is always in the evenings so inevitably this extra job will #mostly be in the Sunny Hours. though i guess that could be a good thing because the hottest part of the day is around 4pm and I’d be outta #there before then. not that it makes much of a difference when it’s 100 degrees in the summer but you know. whatever #gahhh we’ll see. I’m honestly shocked they got back to me on my application though this is the same hyatt i applied to last year 20000 times #and got Nothing from. i guess i really do have pull from being a host at a hyatt already #i just want access to this fancy ass hotel………..thats all i want #edit: for some reason i thought the pool was on the roof and im kinda disappointed now that im seeing its not #it still looks bougie as hell dont get me wrong but. yeah

i wonder if it's just me who kinda gets bad vibes when neurotypical people use the term "on the spectrum"

#idk... it just feels like they're trying to avoid using the word ''autistic'' because they think it's a bad thing that they have to soften? #and also the emphasis on a spectrum. it's like when people say someone's ''a little bit autistic''. again trying to minimise it when it #really doesn't need to be minimised #and then there's the fact that the autism in me wants to be nitpicky and go ''but EVERYONE'S on the spectrum somewhere! bc that's how #spectrums work! even neurotypical people! so you're not even being accurate!'' and i also want to be like so. what spectrum are you #talking about here? bc it could be the colour spectrum for all i know! #anyways i just don't like it. if actually autistic people use the term because that's what they're most comfortable with then that's fine! #but neurotypical people... hmm just. bad vibes to me

[ihopesocomic]

Hi! New reader here! I just got to the part where Hope tries to open her injured eye. It was portrayed as rly cloudy, but I’m not sure how it got that cloudy so fast? It had happened Very recently, and while Vicious’s claws definitely damaged the cornea, idk if that was enough time for scar tissue to have accumulated so thick. It was more likely that it would have been swollen or misshapen, but not opaque/milky yet. As well, though the scar/injury definitely would make her ‘legally blind’ in that eye, it’s highly unlikely even w that damage that she would lose 100% of her vision. Corneal Opacity obstructs light/vision, but it’s quite likely that she would still be able to see brash lights and shadows, maybe some shapes (likely clearer toward the edges of vision, but perpetually out of focus there)

I point this out as someone who is blind in one eye myself from an injury as a child, and that generally we don’t really like the portrayal of “cloudy eyes=blind” in media. It’s usually used as visual shorthand, but bc ppl see it used that way, they think that’s what all blind ppl look like. I’ve gotten ppl who’ve tried and ‘caught’ some of my friends as ‘not blind’ bc their eyes weren’t white/cloudy, which is generally, not the case unless there is serious injury or disease in the eye. As for the 100% vision, we also get ppl who will wave or clap in our faces to try and ‘catch’ us (bc for some reason ppl just think ppl fake being blind for ‘benefits’—what benefits??) and we will always flinch bc 1) that’s the normal reaction, it’s sound and air close to your face, your body will instinctively flinch away from it. And 2) bc many of us still have some amount of useable vision, and getting that close is something even someone w very low percentage of useable vision could detect.

Not gonna ask you to redraw it of course, that’s entirely up to you, and it’s an ongoing, high-intensive webcomic and the page in question is quite a bit back there, but if we see it again plus the POV of Hope’s vision, if you drew a rough lining of that half of the picture, then filled it in with intense white/gray grittiness, more concentrated in the middle and a bit less on the extreme sliver of the outer eye (in Hope’s case, I doubt there would be too much of the eye that wasn’t covered by the scar tissue, Lion claws are huge and thick and at this point she’s had plenty of time to form a significant scar) and the vague impression of light/shadow, that’s a more accurate portrayal of blindness. The eye itself is almost guaranteed to be misshapen, that is, the iris and pupil, not the orb itself (it would have had to puncture through the cornea, and if that was the case she’d not really have an eye) something like a droopy part near the direction of the scar, and a bit more of an oval-ish shape (pics for reference can help if you can do that, otherwise not making it too extreme but enough that it’s visibly a scar and injury in the eye. These are all just suggestions! If you decide you’d like to do a more stylized version of this, just making the iris a bit raised and a little wider at the ends of the scar, and for POV just airbrush w a gritty texture and put some vague shading.

I really love this comic, and it’s portrayal of disability (Hope is just. I’ll cry) but that was just something that nicked me a bit. It’s hard to do everything right, and really hard for a personal project! You’ve done amazing, and honestly this is nitpicky of me I think, I just thought with the positive rep of limb loss I thought I’d give a little advice ig on blind rep, from a partially blind person myself. (thank you SO. MUCH. For not making her ‘mourn’ the limb she doesn’t have. She just doesn’t have it, it’s who she is. She’s not lesser or in parts bc of it, she deals w it, and though it’s still a disability and affects her as such, it’s not something she needs to cry over. She’s always been this way, and she’ll make it through.)

So, first of all: thank you so much for giving an informative and detailed input on this aspect of Hope's character. We truly appreciate it.

We've always intended to show Hope's eye injury gradually changing condition from her POV and her being able to open the eye slightly eventually, so we're not through with representing blindness or partial blindness through her.

As for your comments regarding what we've already shown, Cat did refer to references on that particular front as she did endeavour to get things accurate. While she is willing to admit that she may have got things wrong, the issue of people stereotyping blind individuals based on one form of how the condition presents itself doesn't mean that one form is not accurate or valid, if you feel me? The true issue here is people's ableism towards blind or partially blind individuals and assuming that a disability must present itself in a certain way to "count" (i.e. in a way they're familiar/comfortable with when stfu it's not about you?) when disabilities in general do not work like that.

But I also completely get that there is a need to break down the assumption that all eye conditions work like this. I know what it feels like to be held to a certain standard by my disabilities and it sucks. If there's one thing worse than just flat-out intolerant ableism towards disabled individuals, it's ableism under the guise of 'i understand your condition better than you do bc i saw it on TV once' ugh But yeah, we've put a pin in the helpful description you've provided and will take this on board moving forward because - like you've pointed out - this is how eye injuries actually work. We especially needed this input since we planned on having Hope being able to have the eye open eventually too. Cat certainly wants to go in and fix that panel with her eye opening in the relevant panel and make it not-cloudy, and what you said about the greyscale and filter idea for the panel afterwards where it's her POV will also be implemented. Thank you again for this advice and for explaining it so well, we always appreciate input like this. <33 And thank you again (again) for the kind comments on Hope's character. It's exactly why we opted to not have her injure the limb like Nothing did and have her be born with the condition instead. Not that we're opposed to that kind of representation, as we intend to cover it somewhat with Bronze and the loss of his limb and how he and the other lions of the Thundering Mountains adapted to it. But yeah, we felt like doing things differently a tad with our main protagonist. c: - RJ

hey i don’t know anything about dreamtale or whatever and i’m gonna be honest i’m not 100% sure how i even get here BUT you appear to be an authority on this thing so i will ask you; if dream and nightmare have a sibling-like relationship… why are they both sanses????? why not have one of them be a papyrus??? (actually i could ask that about pretty much every au why are so many of them JUST SANS)

HAHAHAHA "an authority on this thing," that's so funny LOL unfortunately im just really annoying about it

simplest reason is: sans is popular! and that's great!! he's my favorite character and he's everywhere bc he's popular.

complicated reason (without me getting salty) is probably because they're twins. that's all i can think of.

the other reason is ermmmm idk i don't wanna get salty and nitpicky and petty about joku (the dreamtale creator) on main (for the millionth time)

idk if it helps any, when i tried a revision of dreamtale w a friend a few years back, i also thought it was odd 😭 so we made papyrus twins for another tree in the lore (idk we made shit up, i dont remember what we changed the other tree to)

james somerton apology video is so interesting to me

-he said he didn’t mean for the misinfo to end up on the channel? like oops? i said a blatant lie! my bad idk how that happened

-thanking hbomber for setting up the fund for “those who were wronged” (james somerton, deleted apology video) i know this is nitpicky but his language keeps shifting the blame from himself. he won’t say “i didn’t credit them” or “i wronged them” like james. they didn’t just HAPPEN to have their work stolen. the universe didn’t intervene and force their work uncredited into your videos YOU stole from them YOU wronged them.

-“i’m not trying to make this a sob story” (james somerton, deleted apology video) then bringing up the bad things happening to him. like. i don’t feel bad that your friends left you for being a thief profiting off the work you stole from queer people. i also just. don’t care. like, i really do hope that he gets help for his mental health. i hope he gets better and he goes to a class on MLA or something. i really do not want him to die. but thats not what this is about. this is about the people he hurt, not the fact that the consequences of his own actions have impacted his mental health.

-refusing to give actual numbers to his income. just saying that people were over estimating. normally peoples income is none of my business but he was profiting off stolen work and is substantial evidence to lead people to believe he was lying about his financial situation to get money from fans.

-there were plenty [of videos] that didn’t have any uncredited stuff in them” (james somerton, deleted apology video) i’m starting to think james didn’t watch the video😨

-side note i don’t understand how this man could go to university and not understand proper citation???

-him saying that him hating women just isn’t true??? then why did he say all that shit??? like bro? you can just admit that you were misogynistic. you can say that. you can say “i was misogynistic, i said misogynistic things, i didn’t understand that i was wrong but i am trying to be better and re-evaluate my views” dude, i’m female (ftm tho, he/him only!) and i still have to occasionally catch myself when i think something misogynistic, despite literally being a victim of misogyny. just be better, don’t pretend you were never wrong. also him saying that he doesn’t think those things, that they were just writing videos too fast? misogyny doesn’t just End Up in your videos because you wrote too fast?? it has to come from somewhere?

-he says that he never wrote misinformation but he also says he isn’t trying to throw nick under the bus, that him and nick are 50/50 partners? which is it?

top five moments of 6x02 ♡

OMG I CAN ONLY PICK FIVE?? OK LET’S GO:

lie detector (tim’s ily) — I think this moment is my favourite part of the episode by far, because first off you have the question about the bugs which was SOOOO cute and so encapsulating of chenford’s relationship that it had me giggling at my tv and twirling my hair lol. but then lucy takes the time to seek out confirmation of his love out of her own will, not because she needed to be proven right but because she wanted to hear it 🥹 and he immediately says yes! he loves her! we finally get to hear it and the lie detector shows it’s true and it’s just so gratifying for chenford fans to finally get this

cop cutie! cute and on duty! — GUYS I KNOW IT’S CORNY BUT HATERS WILL HATE, DADDY COP IS A BANGER!! this was so funny and such an earworm— and to those saying they thought it was an old episode when it opened on that scene, lemme just say SAME lol— but then to up the ante by pulling out the choir as if literally singing for and rejoicing the 100th episode was just so perfect and classic rookie: a little hokey but well executed and fun and all around heartfelt. 10/10 I need it on spotify right now.

if I ain’t got you by alicia keys (lucy’s ily) — okay I’m scared some of you chenford girlies are going to tar and feather me for not putting this at number 1 or 2 but HEAR ME OUT: I’ve expressed my problems about this temporary argument solution!! I think this whole scene is so gorgeous for so so so many reasons: lucy and tim dancing as a couple for the first time, the matching outfits, the kiss, ugh all PERFECT I love my babies 🥹❤️ that being said, I don’t like how so much of the resolution/peace between them relied on tim being completely in the wrong when I feel like it’s a more nuanced issue than that and denies lucy any opportunity to critically reflect on her own feelings about this. and also, it does seem weird to me that she wouldn’t have said ‘I love you’ back to tim when he first said it?? they smile at each other but then they’re back to looking awkwardly from afar at the wedding (prior to this scene of course) and so I’m a bit uneasy at the implication (which the writers did not necessarily add on purpose) that lucy’s ily depended on him admitting he was wrong in any way. but idk maybe I’m just being too nitpicky here, I still ADOREEE THIS SCENE FOREVER AND EVER I want it on my grave k thanks

tim down on one knee — need I say more?? this imagery of him on his knee with the ring staring up at lucy was a glimpse at chenford’s future and it was such cute teasing, god I love writers and showrunners when they add messy fun little teaser moments like this! plus tim totally kicked ass, all covered in blood and ready to pass out, and ah, I do always say the best kind of lust is bloodlust 😌

bailan wedding vows — I actually cannot believe the day has come where a bailan moment is in my top 5 episode moments but these wedding vows showed me how the writers are finally able to articulate what works about them as a couple!! with someone as impressive and as versatile and skilled as bailey, I think literally any other man would feel threatened or emasculated, but nolan really is just Some Guy™️ who’s really into her and obsessed with her and is very sturdy ground for her to come home to. I wish we dove more into her past as a survivor of abuse because I feel like that previous situation informs so much of why she loves john even though, let’s be real: she’s eons above his league holy shit it’s not even funny how out of his league she is. but also she could never be with anyone else! she really just loves him and they have such a nice soft relationship which the wedding really sold me on. I liked it a lot even though I had my qualms about her and him as individuals and together.

honourable mention to wade and luna because I love them so much y’all they are adorable!! anyways, here’s my list and lmk if you agree

#abby.answers #the rookie #chenford #tim bradford #lucy chen #john nolan #bailey nune #celina juarez

[kozachenko]

So I've been thinking about Touhou 19's title recently and I've thought of two reasons as to why it's called "Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghosts." Option 1 is the more obvious one, and option 2 is my favourite one, as it connects to Zanmu (yaaaaaay more Zanmu-posting (kinda) because she's awesome).

For context, Touhou 17 kinda left off on a note of, "The Beast spirits are going to be back again, even though their problem with Keiki has been solved." Once the beast spirits learned about Gensokyo, it's very likely that they saw an opportunity to claim it as quickly as possible to gain more power and influence. So since they kinda couldn't accomplish that by the end of Touhou 17, it would probably explain the "unfinished dream" part pretty well. As for the "all living ghost" part, the actual phrase is a bit of an oxymoron, but it could have something to do with the way of life in the Animal Realm. Even though they're technically dead, they're way of life (or way of death if you wanna be nitpicky) is all about "survival of the fittest" and "strong eating the weak." IDK how much sense that makes, but it's the best reason I could come up with.

The second interpretation though, makes the whole "all living ghost" part make more sense. So Zanmu's ability is basically just making someone's motivation and desires go away, and so looking at the title with that in mind, a lot of things start to make more sense. First of all, the "unfinished dream" part becomes a literal term for all the dreams and desires the characters Zanmu manipulated had that are now forever left "unfinished" because they lost the motivation to want to achieve them. As for the "all living ghost" part, this then goes from a confusing oxymoron, to a metaphor for the people who lost all their motivations and desires. They become husks of themselves, hell, we even see in Zanmu's interaction with Yachie in her scenario that Yachie lost a lot of the energy she had before meeting her. So the whole title of, "Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost" can become an allegory for the entire game's plot.

On a side note relating to Zanmu (that I wanna put here just so I don't have to make another post later) in a previous reblog I mentioned how because of Zanmu's power she can get away with basically anything. This "ability" of hers probably isn't supernatural, and most likely just describes how she uses words to manipulate people. Maybe the whole, "ability to manipulate nothingness" thing came from other denizens of Hell, much like how people in history would often attribute a person's achievements to them being connected to the gods, or having supernatural abilities.

So yeah, that's just a little thing I have been thinking about for a while. Touhou titles are really cool, because they sound like a bunch of random fancy words mashed together at first glance, but when you really think about it, it starts to make sense and connects a lot with the games themes and story, which is really what a good title should do.

just saw fanart of the laugh scene from FFX and i think it's all fine and good to point out it's good for thematic reasons, and that it's cringe on purpose which kinda defeats the shitty nitpicky attempts at mock it, but also, i feel like we miss on a crucial aspect of the scene, which is that it's kinda the first time yuna gets to be weird, and tidus gets to match that weirdness, and why that's essential to their relationship, because he's the only one who could make her feel allowed to be like that and allow himself to be like that around her, and like, we make fun of how absurd it is for auron to be in his mid 30s with his character design but the fact that everyone in spira is so young is kind of the point y'know? the fact that yuna doesn't really get to goof off probably at all until tidus is in her life even though she's 17 and ready to die. idk none of that is new to anyone's analysis of the game but i feel like we don't touch on how that specific scene plays into it so well.

archer rewatches nlmg: episode 5

🏆 achievement unlocked: wish you could kill a parent (2x)

🚫 error: achievement detected for almost every other media watched

‼️🏆 rare achievement unlocked: praise a parent

your CHILD was ATTACKED, is BRUISED, BEATEN, and HAS A BROKEN ARM, and THIS is what you ask? i'm gonna kill this man. i'm gonna fucking kill him.

YESSS GO OFF BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw idk if we've ever talked about this, but chanon is a very classic case of "i'm taking out my hatred for my ex spouse on my child"

he's asking it like it's an afterthought, like it's some annoying obligation. literally please jump off a roof.

buddy, could you locate the words "i'm sorry" in your surely extensive vocabulary?

oh! go fuck yourself, ben :)

i hope to gods this is a new personal signature, nueng

their evil rich people horse riding vs my pure good cultural horse riding

i love her 🥹

my boy is not pulling any punches this episode and i for one think it's iconic!!

DEEPLY unprofessional to invite one student without their guardian, while the other has one present. do you not fucking see the clear issue that will arise there?

your dad died so now you're a homosexual. famously, that is how people become gay. if your father is alive but you are gay, please contact your mother and discuss the possibility of her cheating urgently.

go OFF, babyboy!!!!

SHE knows that? why the fuck would the principle know your son's sexuality, you fucking weirdo?

now this is just a bad argument. we all know the likelihood of a class or dare i say school president being gay is extremely high.

palm is truly the sweetest boy on earth

yay! everyone cheered!

they were insane for this btw. both of them but especially palm.

this is when we should have known there is no turning back for this boy. he's down bad.

not gonna lie, this conversation is almost a masterclass on how to do this correctly. she explicitly says that her child's happiness is more important than the family business and reputation. all she wants from him is to live a life that will make him happy, even if it doesn't fit with what she imagined his life would be like. she does something, which many parents fail at, which is telling him that he is an adult who now makes his own decisions and whose first thought shouldn't be what his mother wants, that he needs to centre what he wants in his life. she says that she is ok with anything and anyone he likes and that she is proud of him no matter what. really, my only minor complaint is her saying that she is disappointed in herself because he didn't feel like he could tell her, because it briefly centres the conversation around her, but even there i'm already being nitpicky, just because everything else is so 🤌 11/10.

trust me, it's going to be very easy to multitask dating and taking care of nueng in his case

the brief but constant shots of their hands. jojo knows his audience.

Hyunjin as a Boyfriend (Astrology Based)

i’ll be looking into hyunjin’s moon, venus, and mars signs. this was a little hard since most of what i found is hard to put into words. his pisces venus being the main culprit. also, there will be a little below the cut 18+ section so if you’re not over 18 ignore it.

thoughtful and observant

creative

perfectionist so with his moon and venus he has this ideal everything about himself and even his partner. which can make him nitpicky and/or overly critical at times

adaptability if his partner wants soft and sweet -> he's got it. if they want rough/tough -> got'cha too *wink wink*

talkative/humorous yet shy around women -> may take time to open up to females

count on me likes to make others happy even if it means compromising his own happiness

meticulous organized/managerial-like

this will transfer over into his attire/home/everything not afraid to do them dishes/laundry/house chores <3

emotional/sensitive and affectionate

intuitive

breathe in...breathe out he can help his partner find a peacefulness when stressed

"going to the chapel...?" so he could actually be looking at each relationship thinking "are they the one?" like he's looking for that perfect partner -> even if he's dating someone i can see him thinking this

loyal to a...well...maybe... so with his pisces venus... look there is a stereotype that pisces is a wittle cheater, but this is based on those around them. his friends being a clear indicator. if he's around people that don't mind cheating/have no morals with it -> he might do the same

also, if his partner isn't satisfying what he needs he may find himself in another's arms his partner should watch out/keep a close eye on his female friends

moody temperment

negativity get away! he's not the greatest with negativity... to the point where he may actually only want a partner that is positive (good luck hyunjin!)

i can see this being some factors as to why he may fall prey to cheating

below the cut

if you are not over 18 STOP HERE

so this isn't as "exciting" as i thought it would be. i had to severely edit this because of his other placements. but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless. take everything with a grain of salt, okay?

generous in sex once comfortable he is really considerate of what his partner wants/needs

into giving and receiving love

physical touch even if this is just a brush of his partners finger tips on his skin (of course indicating that they want a lil somethin something *wink wink*) this will get his heart beating

taking the lead in bed

red lingerie i have a feeling this is because he's an aries mars lol

also, this could mean he might like to wear something red or like his partner in something red

rough sex (?) idk with his other placements i'll just say there may be times he likes it rough

thoughts on the movie, pt. 2

spoilers ahead (for real this time)

going to make a bullet point list of all the things i noted about the movie

i got up to watch this at 3am est and i have a full day of school today so idk. wish me luck i guess

i think it's a cop-out to make honora mean, actually, because it kind of defeats the point of the whole honora/vanessa and sophie/agatha thing. i know it's easier to exemplify sophie's Evil in the books because we can hear her inner monologue, but she wasn't even that Evil in the movie before they dropped her in the school

like she was kinda bitchy sometimes, sure, but all the "Evil" and "violent" things she did were in defense of agatha so i don't know if that really counts

THEY MADE VANESSA MIXED SO THEY COULD DO THE SISTERS THING. CALLING IT NOW

some lines of dialogue made me cringe too hard. i like the bit with eric or whatever his name was in the beginning but the "god i hate this town" had me foreseeing the reviews

some of the cgi looked fine and then some of it just. looked bad. i think it was really funny how they tried so hard to do primarily practical effects, and you could see it in things like the Trial by Tale, but i feel like it was kind of counteracted by the blood magic storyline? it doesn't matter if your whole Trial is practical effects if half your movie is full of ugly cgi pools of blood and nondescript magical energy blasts

speaking of nondescript magical energy blasts and bad cgi, rafal was so fucking stupid. like what

that fight at the beginning with the kit young duplicates? guys. guys come on. when he said "blood magic" i was like No.

idk i guess it just didn't really coalesce for me

i thought i would be able to contend with kerry washington's dovey performance in this movie but i really generally couldn't, especially after they basically decimated the "agatha's been beautiful all along" storyline

she was a little too manic for my taste. i liked her at some points and at other points she was kind of pissing me off

that anemone backstory made me laugh. you go girl

OK A CHANGE I LIKED: i thought gregor charming was corny. i thought opening a grocery store was corny. i thought his whole deal was a bit stupid. BUT HAVING TEDROS KILL HIM?? MY JAW DROPPED THAT WAS SO MUCH WORSE THAN THE BOOK

like having ted kill a random child is bad, obviously, but having him kill a recently mogrified established character was like WHAT

the modern music really fucked it up for me. i think this movie would have been just fine with the score and the special song they recorded for the credits. i think it made it way cornier than it needed to be and i really couldn't forgive it by the end

like you HAD to have a verse of brutal in there? this is not do revenge i thought i was hallucinating

sophie makeover scene demolished (which is sad but whatever) but what really got to me more was the fact that there was no nuance to any of the supporting cast at all? like how are you going to tell me that hester spits sparks in her face one day and then within the week is bowing down to her.

i feel nitpicky but it really is just the basics of a character. tell me why anadil and dot were literally indistinguishable in their character. portrayed exactly the same. sort of hester too.

the soman cameo actually did make me jump. like i already made a joke about this but i did a double take

i think tagatha was cute and i liked how they actually talked more before this but i think this could have been executed similarly while still keeping the whole "agatha is a witch" thing. case in point: they become friends early on, agatha tries to protect gregor-stymph, tedros kills gregor-stymph and gets confused why she's protecting a stymph and comes to the conclusion that "she must be a witch", sophie takes advantage of it to get with tedros, etc. tension. (i might be insane for this so if i am let me know)

i don't think it would have taken much to establish it as the snow ball and the no ball and i think sophie's point would have been more effective if they did

cate blanchett has a nice voice but i didn't vibe with the inconsistent storian narration; it sort of just felt like she was interjecting to explain things to us that the audience at the test screening had a dubious understanding of. like in the tower it was fine but throughout the rest of the movie it was sort of irritating that the movie assumed we couldn't infer what was going on and very rarely did what was going on ACTUALLY require background narration, even if you hadn't read the books

sophie had a very inconsistent characterization in the movie. agatha was consistent but sophie basically switched from good to evil overnight. i understand the point was she felt betrayed and was swayed to evil, but i think the movie made her stupider than she was known to be in the books and underestimated her intelligence, which makes me sad

i felt like the movie utilized a lot of tools to try and explain what was going on to the audience (rafal's monologues, storian narration, dovey and lesso) instead of just trusting that we could understand it on our own so it came off as very exposition heavy but not in like. an understandable way

very frustrated with the consistent erasure of queer characters. hester and anadil confirmed for like a split second in a scene where they dance together at the no ball, but they aren't established enough for the general audience to know that they're queer and it definitely could just come off as best friends

dovesso for a single goddamn second at the end where they look like they're about to kiss and then just go for the most awkward hug in the entire world which just??? really got to me. the whole lady lesso thing was fine, i guess, but i was really hoping that dovey and lesso's enlarged presence in the movie would lead to some depth to their book-based friendship. i know that's my fault for expecting that, but like. i didn't expect "blood magic" either so whatever

part of the problem with the queer character erasure too though is that they were never really that defined in the books (thanks soman) so a lot of it is just really suspicious and doesn't end up REALLY panning out, so they had an excuse to ignore it in the movie

noticed how they made the agaphie kiss at the end very chaste, so that and vanessa being mixed definitely is foreshadowing some sisterhood there

also the line where agatha says "she's like my sister" had me laughing my ass off. they know

i definitely liked sofia wylie the most in this film, but i think sophia anne caruso did the best with what she was given. i think both of them did their best with a rather shallow script.

ANOTHER THING I LIKED: i had my criticism of the no ball scene and i think the ending was rather convoluted and uhhhhh not great in general but i did honestly like the whole "good attacks" thing. i wasn't sure if they were actually going to follow through on the whole good becoming evil and evil becoming good thing but i think they did that well, and sophie's transformation into grand high witch ultimate at the end after her haphazard side-switching was actually okay imo

now did it lead into a stupid-ass castle-crumbling rafal fight? yes. but at least agatha got to fucking STAB HIM WITH EXCALIBUR??? i was hyped. also i thought it was good that rafal explained how he corrupted good and made them vain, that was nice

would have been funny if they did the original book ending but i understand why that wasn't really feasible

overall: mid. that is my review. mid.

i had a good time watching it! i really did! and i read some reviews, and they're about what i expected (which is sort of disappointing but i'll live), but i had a good time and i think that's what really matters here

i'm glad that it wasn't boring and that i'm able to write so much about it and i'll be able to talk about it for a while and follow through on the production of THE SEQUEL THEY MIGHT MAKE LMFAOOOO

THE WORLD WITHOUT PRINCES SETUP????? I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT

hit my limit

#anyway i thought it was fun and i liked it so there #i know i had a lot of nitpicks and you can fight me abt any of them if you want #i have more notes but i ran out of characters or something and it wouldn't let me post it #will make a part 3 soon #sge #school for good and evil #sge movie #school for good and evil movie #love u guysss

[definitelynotshouting]

hellooooo!!! tis i, bug anon. i have been VERY MUCH enjoying the hunger au snippets (very late comment ik, but they were wonderful little pick me ups whenever i saw them :))!! ALSO, glad to hear your editing is going well!! idk abt you, but editing is the HARDEST bit of writing stuff for me (so im glad its going well!!). if theres any worldbuilding you've wanted to share but nobody has asked about it yet, feel free to lay it on me! (or dont! your choice!) hope your cat is doing well also, i love him <3

-🐛

I have a few things i want to eventually make posts about, but my brain is admittedly a little boiled right now so they'll probably have to wait a little longer before i can write them out coherently 😂😂😂😂 UHHH SMALL TIDBITS SMALL TIDBITS..... OH OKAY OKAY so im trying to cook up more aspects of Watcher culture and i think. They use entire blocks as little beads for jewelry. Its very common for a Watcher to decorate themselves with jewelry that's made from an all-time favorite block. Imagine if these worms had necklaces and one of them was made from magenta glazed terracotta /silly<3

The editing is for sure difficult esp bc i am being extremely nitpicky with this one rn 😭😭😭😭 we're at whats hopefully the last three chapters of Arc 1 and i have very particular ideas for how i want them written so they hit JUST right. AAAA thank you so much for the encouragement!!!! Im really happy you like the snippets ive sent so far :D

ALSO YES Anarchy is doing great he scratched and wailed at my door this afternoon until i let him in so he could cuddle on my lap for a solid half hour🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 sweetest boy on the earth here is a recent picture of him that has to be a top contender for second best Anarchy pic of all time:

#shouting speaks #asks #hunger au #compliments #thgere is nawt a thought behind those eyes #the spot for best anarchy pic is already taken so this will have to simply contend for second best SJDNSKDNSJNS #txt

Can i just say how much i freaking love the work you two are doing, Holly hell this is some wild stuff as veteran of hello neighbor you two are making me proud of this small community that is running on tumblr!

Also i hope you two don't mind me asking two questions.

Firstly, If one of you two had the control over welcome to ravenBrooks show what will be some things you two will change.

Secondly, What are you're thoughts on the artstyle of the show considering that Man of Action is working on the show?

Okay to start, I know I say it every time we get asks like this but y'all are genuinely so sweet and nice and it's just really really cool to see people enjoy our stuff. Like- especially fellow old fans of the franchise. I know Kaydin also really appreciates how sweet you guys are but just idk it feels like my fandom dreams come true when people like things like our au and art for this series

As for your questions...

Personally, to start, and this is Jack being slightly particularly- idk nitpicky? But there are three things I'd want to just- fix immediately and all three of them are Nicky related.

Number one, his shirt. I'm sorry guys but I've been here since the alphas and I didn't even realize this was his Sharkotron T-shirt. It's- It's just an egg

Number two, I realized after intense studying of Nicky's- face that it looks really weird when he's front facing, but his nose is facing right. So scenes like this suddenly seem- off model for no reason? I've poorly edited the image below to fix both of these

Yes I am too lazy to edit them properly, sadly. Did make his shirt logo still one colour for ease of animation. Idk why but left facing nose Nicky just looks less weird. Just me and kaydin? Maybe.

Number three- uh... that hairline is atrocious /lh

I know he wears his goggles in the show like constantly but also- this is a 13 year old boy guys. I was 13 once and I have a very flat (minus a widows peak) hairline, but it did not stop my hair from falling all over my face, and I think it's fair to assume the same for the kid who's hair refuses to behave anyway

Just fluff him up a lil (again I'm sorry these aren't better edits lol)

You don't even have to have it show when his goggles are up because like a headband or headphones it pushes hair back, or otherwise

Although ironically while I'm explaining what I would change in the designs, I don't mind the art style at all, actually I kind of love it. Sure some things you kinda of have to get used to, like their ears being pretty low to the head, but in general I think it really fits the franchise. I know it didn't look too drastically different from the pilot, but there's so many little nuances in the designs that just make it better (especially when you look at characters like Trinity)

I've told Kaydin a dozen and a half times how I think show Nicky is the franchise's second best design for him. The first being this singular piece of art from Nicky's Diaries, like I have gone on for hours about why this rendering of him is just perfect.

Third being fan renders, followed by the book artstyle, the pilot and finally games

And while other designs I wasn't sure about when watching through the show the first time, really just lore hunting instead of caring about anyone who wasn't Trinity or Nicky ngl, when I started doing my expression analysis I realized just how nice the designs and individuality of the characters are. If you put Nicky's expressions oh Enzo or Ivan's on Trinity it wouldn't fit and that's something I don't think people would expect from a Hello Neighbor cartoon.

They also have things I can just appreciate as someone who's special interest is animation (but doesn't have the patience to animate TvT gotta love audhd) for example, just having shading even in shots where they could completely go without it. It makes it less drastic and a smoother transition when lighting gets intense. They're also now afraid to switch up camera angles and push the rigs for a more intense shot.

Also something I really appreciate

Smear frames!

God I love smear frames!!! It's another one of those things that It's like- knowing how much this cost Tinybuild, they could've easily cut it down to save money. But it just wouldn't have been as nice without it.

Sure there are probably people who look at the fact that Man of Action is working on the show and are disappointed by the art style. But I say this entirely genuinely when I say I couldn't picture this show looking any other way and working as it does.

Yeah, they could've used more realistic proportions for these kids, but it works so much better when it's pushed like this when Mr. Peterson is nearly double their height. He's visibly a hulking intimidating man who could lift a middle schooler and lock them away. You fear his build which contrasts his outfit best (really feels like they took the book description of him and just pushed it, as we know he doesn't have this same stature in the games)

Plus it feels like in general, they stopped focusing on that dumb "Oh we need to hide things in every frame" which- thank God. Sure they are still hiding little details, hell I have changed a whole chunk of theory about Theodore's relationship with his son because of something I found on accident

This photo of (seemingly) 12 year old Aaron Peterson.

I'm not gonna go into it here lol because this is already long and it's supposed to be about the animation.

Are they still building mysteries and people are still crafting theories? Absolutely! Not a day goes by that I haven't been thinking about whether or not Aaron will ever be seen in the series in the present day and if he is, what he will be like mentally.

But the point is, they're focusing on crafting something GOOD over just theory fodder. Both animation and story-wise, and I can appreciate that so much.

Like- this is gonna be a really hot Jack take here so be aware.

I enjoy this franchise and it's spinoffs much more than the FNAF franchise.

Sure, Hello Neighbor one is and will always be awful. But I am 100x more likely to play Hello Neighbor 2 or Secret Neighbor than I am to play any fnaf game myself.

When I make fnaf content it is almost entirely AU based. Because the idea of getting lore super wrong since I just can't be bothered to try and figure that convoluted mess out is annoying. Why even try to solve lore if I need to read more than 10 books for a minor detail that becomes a major antagonist? We can't even get a full confirmed backstory for the main antagonist!

But with Hello Neighbor they realized that people don't want to be jumping through 50 hoops for lore. Yes we want mystery, but one we can solve without dumb contrivances and plot holes.

Do I still love FNAF? Of course. My senior quote is from William Afton ffs ("You may not recognize me at first, but I can assure you, it's still me") but one of these franchises is growing to better itself and gain more love, while the other is slowly becoming more of something I enjoy without trying to understand, and I think the Hello Neighbor animated series is- the pinnacle of this difference.

I love Welcome to Ravenbrooks. I love Hello Neighbor. I can’t wait to see what comes next from TinyBuild, and how season two will be even better than season one. (As proven by the fact that Nicky gets to yell louder in that one teaser clip alone than anyone got to in season one lol)
