List of Reasons to Watch Jorge Gutierrez’s “Maya and the Three” mini-series

BEWARE OF SPOILERS

1. How cohesive and tight the storytelling it is. It feels complete once you reach the final episode.

2. The animation visuals. They are nothing sort of beautiful and top-notch.

3. The numerous handicapped characters who are still shown as complex and great characters with their disability not being an “issue to overcome”. Chimi is albino, Rico has notable stutter, and King Teca gains a limp. Even Maya counts given she has a poorly healed shoulder but said shoulder proves to be handy in the climax.

4. The character development is peak good and ell-written. You can tell how each character (namely Maya, Rico, and Chimi) transform from their first appearance to the finale.

5. The numerous amount of strong female characters. And I don’t mean just the fighting sense but in how well-written they are. All of them are given depth and weight in the story. In particular, both Maya and Chimi aren’t afraid to be vulnerable and it’s not shown as weakness.

6. The ending. It’s the perfect example of bittersweet and is one of my favorite scenes in the series. Maya dies as does many other heroes (including Picchu, Lady Micte, and Zatz). But Mictlan has been defeated and the survivors are given a last reunion with their parted loved ones. Maya and Zatz are reincarnated as the Sun and Moon, respectively. Maya’s parents, younger twin siblings, and friends are able to live a happy and peaceful life. And Chimi and Rico becomes a couple with four kids. And the ending line comes from Maya’s younger sister, Eagle: “Adios, Maya”.

I want to thank all the gif-makers of tumblr for allowing me to experience all of the best, funniest, hottest, most poignant, most romantic, most intensely heart-tugging moments of shows that I will absolutely never watch.

#some because i know how they end #or because i know that there is a lot else to the show that i will not enjoy #and some merely because i optimistically add them to the end of a 'to watch' list that will never be finished #whatever the reason at least i got to experience the peak two minutes of that media

Vimes took a deep breath. "You see, Miss Wiggs, quite a few of your chums have tried to kill me at home in recent years. As you might expect, I take a dim view of this."

"Easy to see why, sir," said Jocasta, in the voice of one who knows that their only hope of escaping from their present predicament is reliant on the goodwill of another person, who has no pressing reason to have any.

a list of motogpblr creators

Hello, I initially wanted to do this to celebrate some kind of milestone of mine but I have none of them in sight and I got the inspiration for this earlier this afternoon, so, here we are.

My memory is not the best and I tried to research stuff through my blog but I already know that I have forgotten people and I obviously don't know about everyone here, no matter how small motogpblr may seems to be, so, my apologies.

Just a quick thank you to everyone who uses some of their time to create for the fandom and also a thank you to people taking the time to interact (with likes, reblogs, comments) with the content created, it's always appreciated.

Also I find it interesting that Keeley says Jamie would be upset by the picture of her and Ted hitting the papers NOT because he might think she’s cheating on him or whatever but because he’s going to be mad at reporters for invading their relationship…. There’s never once a fear that he might be mad at her

#Jamie Tartt #I just think people who think Jamie would want to be super pda and public in a relationships are incorrect. #for many reasons but I’m including this in the list of the evidence #like I think in a future royjamie/ot3 scenario he would want to keep it nearly as private as Roy would want to #I actually think they’re quite similar in that respect. #but anyway!!! the JamieKeeley relationship is a treasure trove watching it back!! I have always loved them <3 #Ted Lasso #url change andfrecklesandyoursmile -> lunar-years

Thank You, Dana Terrace and the TOH Cast and Crew for “The Owl House”

1. For being an original story - For so many reboots, remakes, and sequels (many of them blatant cash grabs), you were a breath of fresh of air.

2. For the animation - Enough said. You had GREAT animated sequences. And you used it effectively.

3. For the characters - All of them complex, dynamic, and well-rounded. Each one getting a moment to shine. And the character development of many of them was well-handled. And the character designs were great as well.

4. For making actual strong female characters - Tying into the above, the female characters of the story were each given depth and flaws just as much as their male counterparts. And they were interesting because of that! You made them strong not by having them win ALL  the time; but by making them vulnerable, relatable, and struggling...and then overcoming it. And not being afraid to ask for help or learning that doing that wasn’t weakness. And when they messed up, they were properly called out.

5. For the casual representation - Either through LGBT, racial, disability, gender, etc. You (not Disney execs, and I still say fuck them). You weren’t afraid or deterred. And you didn’t make it their whole personality. Yes, it’s a part of them but not all of them.

6. For the lessons - Value in friendship/family, choosing your own path, fighting unfair systems, unlearning toxic attitudes, apologizing for wrongdoing, gaining loved one not through changing yourself or by force but by simply being yourself; things won’t just come to you, you have to work on it; while there are people worth befriending there are some who won’t change their cruel ways and you shouldn’t bother with them; forgiving yourself for your mistakes; finding something that you are truly passionate about, not something you were forced to like. I can go on and on.

7. For the three specials - You were screwed over by Disney (again, fuck them) and yet you were able to make it work. You managed to give a great and widely acclaimed ending despite the unfairness. And while you couldn’t do all the subplots you wanted, that’s not you fault (again, fuck Disney). And even you pulled it off beautifully.

8. For the music - Just that. You had great music

9. For the humor - I can’t keep track of the MANY funny moments from the show I loved.

10. For the worldbuilding - Consistent. A simple magic system. All of it was good.

11. For the maturity- You didn’t coddle your audience. You respected them. You managed to tell a story dealing with numerous and heavy themes without being edgelord dark. And no matter what some idiot exec or hypocritical parent said, the fact that you didn’t dumb it down, makes it even more memorable.

12. For avoiding these tropes - The Chosen One, the disabled get rid of their disability, the MC turns out to be secretly from royal whatever, the bad guy gets a sob story that magically excuses their behavior, the magic system is broken despite clearly stating the rules at the start, etc. Now while I don’t have a problem with SOME of these tropes (that being The Chosen One, MC secretly from royalty), you avoiding them made TOH more interesting and subversive.

And just thank you in general for you hard work, sacrifice, love of the show, and putting up with bullshit from Disney and homophobic “fans”. I truly hope you and the crew do something else you love in the near future.

cant scribble it out bc its too Involved but here's a Laughingstock thought that just feels Right:

im imagining them sitting down and going through a list of pet names to use for each other. like Howdy has a clipboard, Barnaby's sitting across the counter, they're going through the list and striking out the ones that don't work. playfully teasing each other about certain suggestions, losing it over a Bit where they try to call each other the names in the most sickeningly sweet lovey-dovey voices and see who cracks first, mutually making fun of some options, getting flustered when they find one they like. yeah <3

#also for some reason my brain is latching onto howdy calling barnaby 'dove' i dont know why #it just feels right that they'd actually make a List and go through it #in my mind they got julie to whip up the list for them since i feel like she'd have Ideas and Knowledge on the subject #maybe she goes around the neighborhood and asks everyone for suggestions #its a very casual yet domestic scene in my mind... #chatting over the counter As They Do (their love language <3). howdy with his clipboard & barnaby with his soda #every once in a while Howdy has to step away to tend to (scam) a customer and barnaby watches with no small amount of fondness #at some point wally comes by and asks what theyre doing & Learns Something New #an exchange i have in my mind is: #howdy - making a suggestion: Darling? #wally: yes? #howdy: ... #barnaby: .... #howdy: *scratches out endearment* that'd be a no #laughingstock #maybe... maybe barn calls howdy 'lovebug' #other ones i think fit are like... 'steady' (mutually used) & 'doll/angelface' (howdy @ barn) & 'handsome/gorgeous' & pal (romantic) #i also feel like they'd have fun making up stuff on the spot #absolutely random words. its a running bit they have #they call each other literally the first thing they can think of - cereal. jam jar. sponge. freshly squeezed lemonade. lawnmower #im not very funny but They Would Be about it #another running joke i think they'd have #would be using more 'traditional' pet names around others just to get the Exasperated Sighs and Annoyed Groans #but then as soon as they're being serious about its the most random weirdest endearments you've ever heard #and its rarely the same one twice #OUGH I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS ABOUT THEMMMMM

the only unrealistic or impossible to believe thing in the entire lotr movie series is how frodo and sam maintain their luxurious hobbit curls all the way to mordor

#lord of the rings #lotr #lotr films #lord of the rings movies #peter jackson lord of the rings #samwise gamgee #frodo baggins #i caved and rented the theatrical edition of tt from amazon because my soul desperately needs it right now #the extended edition of fellowship was a reasonable price but they jacked it up for the other two and the ee are way more expensive #so i had to grit my teeth and settle for the theatrical releases #it's an open secret that my brother is getting me the full extended edition boxset for christmas #(by ''open secret'' i mean ''i sent him a list of retailers that sell it and at what price'') #but i couldn't emotionally wait until christmas to continue my re-re-re-re-watch

i wanna post my skip to loafer art but i cant do it knowing ppl are gonna put it on tiktok and pinterest bc itd be like. bringing an invasive species ykwim

#my meds just kicked in so im feeling talkative but truly idk how to explain it #its like. with anything else id be more than happy to introduce it to ppl like monkie kid and mp100. witch hat maybe but its personal to me #but skip to loafer is special to me. and i feel bad for saying this bc other ppl do deserve to watch smth they will enjoy #hell the reason i got into it was bc my friend was kind enough to lend me her copy and i got hooked #its so ironic im saying this esp given how insecure i am abt depicting characters wrong. but i really dont want to look thru the tags #and see them on a 'can i copy your homework' tier list. or ppl getting mad abt why egashira mitsumi and shima cant just be a throuple #its just!! i wont stop you if thats how you like to engage with the show or how you interpret it bc ill just ignore it and leave u alone!! #and theres no objective wrong way of doing it!! and i know that interacting with the work is what forms a community after all!! #but keeping it tight knit is just easier for me bc nobody has to worry abt making each other laugh and we can enjoy it for what it is #fully aware im saying this as someone whos drawn monkie kid art with text post memes and owl house draw the squad templates #but at the same time i just. dont want to explain myself or give ppl reasons why shima and mitsumi are ace coded just bc it 'feels right' #fandom is a communal thing and it feels so hypocritical thinking this. too many conflictng thoughts that idk what to act on #yapping
