#super role model

[pianokantzart]

Not me thinking thinking about how good of a brother Mario is and how there's literally nobody better that Luigi could've clung to while he sorts out his own anxiety.

Mario acknowledges that Luigi is a fearful person, but doesn't think any less of him for being scared. He doesn't see Luigi's bad luck as a burden, even when he tries to make sure he's safe and protected at every turn. Mario gets annoyed by his brother on occasion, but doesn't degrade or talk down to him– not even jokingly. He just puts up with it and forges ahead without drawing attention his brother's mistakes. Then when it comes to Luigi's victories, even small ones, he dwells on them and gets excited without an ounce of insincerity or exaggeration.

The worst thing Mario does is get a little too caught up in his impulses and emotions to listen, but otherwise he's so rock solid, even apart from his three-day adventure solely focused on saving Luigi's life.

#it's getting emotional about the mario bros hour again #super mario brothers #super mario bros #mario movie #Mario #Luigi #It is literally so so good for young boys to have a role model like this too #I can not think of a single character aimed at kids that is nearly as good of an example of how to treat your sibling #siblings are always made either a source of annoyance to relate to #or a point of tension and drama #not the very thing that highlights just how heroic a character is #while simultaneously not feeling forced or cheesy or even boring! #If anything you wished you got to see more of these two on screen!!! #It's just so so good I need more of their dynamic in my life

I like the idea of the Toa Mata being... around when needed, but for the most part just kinda going off and doing their own thing since they're not really beholden to any rules. It's a very special thing to actually see one of the Toa chilling out somewhere

#this is kinda ignoring the fact that given the timeframe the series actually happens over #means they were likely only the mata for a few months at most #bionicle #toa #toa mata #lewa #lego #bonkle #digital #art #sketchbook #i can also see the various toa being different levels of social #like gali pohatu and tahu hanging out around their villages more #kopaka being a very rare sight on purpose and onua being a rare sight on accident #lewa i think oscillates between being really social and wanting super alone time with basically no in-between #by the time they become the nuva they become much more active role models and social figures for the matoran

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly) #in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

friends i had a damn qsmp dream and the dream i dreamt was phil had been off doing something and when he went back to the house where chayanne and tallulah were i guess they thought he was offstream and had their mics on and were talking to him and he straight up did not notice there was anything strange about this until he saw chat panicking lmfao

(also jaiden came back and there was a celebration for her return 😔 i miss her)

#qsmp #(i'm pretty sure in the dream chat was already making battle plans to wipe the mic on moment from the internet) #(like a mutual agreement between the chatters to forget it had ever happened) #(super unrealistic but when have my dreams ever played the realism game >:D) #(in the same dream i rode a bike straight into a lake bc i forgot how to brake and then showed up to an exam anyway and nobody commented) #(also there was like time travel and the government and a really important chess game or something??) #(idk i kinda forgot it all trying to hold onto the qsmp part lmfao; the time travel was right at the beginning so i forgor) #vic's dream tag #shut up vic #block game brainrot #if anyone's curious the roles of 'chayanne and tallulah's voices' were played by: #the voice that came from the chayanne model in the original live translations trailer from the day of the egg event #and a modified version of miss kristin's voice iirc (which is funnny bc i don't actually think it had an accent lmfao) #((bc dreams autofill; or at least mine do)) #((i've been CONVINCED in a dream that someone is speaking another language only to wake up and realize it was english the whole damn time))

Let your passion be the reason for your existence.

From the age of four, I was passionate about martial arts. But one day my mother suggested I become an actor, and the thought stirred my soul, so I took her advice. My first acting role was for an untitled project that would come to be known to us all as Power Rangers. I remember walking into the callback auditions and being surrounded by girls. My first thought was, "is the Green Ranger a girl or a boy?" I laughed at the thought. Although I was confused which part I was exactly auditioning for, I remember helping one of the girls with her karate moves. That same girl ended up being cast as Trini the Yellow Ranger.

Like everything I do, I put my passion into acting and into the role I was given: Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger. Every day on set I would arrive early and go from department to department learning the ins and outs of filmmaking. I put my heart, soul, and karate into the role of Tommy. I was only hired for ten episodes, but I made sure that for those episodes, I would give Tommy my all. Tommy Oliver was a lot like me, the loner kid who spent most of his time training. But Tommy and I developed together. We learned the importance of friendship, as Tommy turned from loner to a key part of the Ranger team. Tommy was passionate about his friends, martial arts, and becoming an outstanding member of his community. This is something that I would carry with me long after my time in Power Rangers was complete.

You cannot fathom my shock and happiness when thousands of letters and phone calls from parents came in asking for the return of my character to Power Rangers. The Green Ranger, Tommy, had left such an impact on thousands of children that they were sad about his departure, even refusing to eat or go to school. For the first time in my life, I understood that I was a hero to so many. Through my role as Tommy, I was able to motivate children to be altruistic and develop moral reasoning. I loved being able to travel the country and the world with my co-stars and act as role models.

Twenty-five years later, the Power Rangers remain role models and well-loved by all. With the outstanding love and support from fans around the world, which grows greater and greater as time passes, nothing makes me more proud than to have been Tommy Oliver and continue to show everyone my passion for life and the arts.

Luckily, I can relive and experience the story of Tommy in BOOM! Studios' Power Rangers comic books. The story of my most beloved character, and the rest of the Power Rangers, has come to life on paper. BOOM! has put together such an amazing story, one that goes into depth on the characters so many have grown to love and admire. A story that lets the reader experience the characters beyond what you saw on screen.

I love that I'm able to pick up a comic book that portrays Tommy Oliver and the Rangers. This new story, brought to life in comic books, is a fundamental part of the legacy of Power Rangers and brings a modernized, multifaceted aspect to the series. Fans of the original show, both new and old are now able to see a different side of their role models. BOOM! Studios' new story for Tommy Oliver highlights the struggle of good vs. evil, which is Tommy's biggest challenge and essential for readers to experience and learn from,

After twenty-five years, I try to continue to be a role model, whether it is fighting in the MMA cage, martial arts, or in my new acting roles. I am blessed to be a hero on screen, but portraying Tommy Oliver motivates me to be a hero in real life as well.

I'm blessed to have been able to take my passion and bring it to life and to have so many people experience it along with me. People with great passion can make the impossible happen just as the Power Rangers have been doing for all these years. Just like Tommy said, "It's not just the costume and powers that give you strength. It's who and what you are inside that really empowers you." It's Morphin Time!

Please stop pitting my stance on Chris Pratt against making the movie look legitimately good by every other metric, Illumination. You’re killing me here.

I will say I think modern tv shows gave up a piece of their soul when they started casting super hot young model actors for every role. Where is my cast of completely normal looking characters

#we’re watching Boston legal and I just love having a wide mix of people #like no doubt Candice Bergen is stunning and in general they look nice but #they’re not young tanned models #west wing also #cast of completely normal looking people #bring back normal people in roles. fat and old and middle aged and looking like people you might see in an office PLZ #it’s so much more relatable #I guess mainly I’m thinking of shows like greys anatomy and those Houston 911 shows and that stuff #all super hot actors posing and making sexy faces #loses the charm #the west wing #boston legal

Sometimes I get so abruptly emotional about the last letter my grandpa wrote before disappearing into Axis prison camps for 5 years and returning home a withdrawn skeleton in 1948.

and it's not because it's very beautiful or emotive. quite the opposite in fact. it is that the last thing he wrote, in a blazing hot tank in the Tunisian desert, was about half a line of 'hope you're well, we're facing the enemy soon' followed by, no kidding, three pages about the minutae of the engineering conundrums posed by taking tracked tanks on sand.

and it just makes me do a sad laugh bc a) that is also very much the person he was at 85. couldn't get out a full sentence of emotions most of the time but he would spend 3 hours lecturing a 4 year old on the mathematics of torque. that man was a CARTOON of autism. but also b) like. it's weird to do the People Are People thing about someone who was around until I was 10, like, I know he was people, I met him. but like. thinking about that 18 year old in the desert not even contemplating the horror of war bc he's too busy trying to design more effective tracks. I mean that's like 50% of 18 year old autistic guys I've ever met. truly We Have Been Here.

#red said #feel like I've talked about this before. whatever. who backreads my blog anyway? #it's just like #the image we're sold of autism in previous generations is very. medicalised. Asylum focused and shame focused. #but as someone from a family that's like. super autistic in all directions. you know. my family weren't Mentally Abnormal #they were just a bit weird and intense #like my grandpa before the war was pretty popular and cool. my grandfather's family seem to have used autism as an MI5 superpower. #my granny's family for like 4 generations were just. doggedly fixated on ignoring gender roles and following their passions #all like. observably Brainweird People in terms of modern neurodiversity models #but like. also just PEOPLE who were loved and respected as they deserved
