i don't think we appreciate enough how fuckin' weird jellyfish are
like these mfs may be immortal, they have no brain or nervous system, they are legit barely more than chemistry and electrical impulses suspended in a vaguely organic matrix, and yet they move and swim and impart their existence upon the world
we call them jellyfish because they're basically just sacs of jelly swimmin' around in the ocean electrocuting prey and anyone who gets too near
like this is a world where fuckin' jellyfish survive and proliferate for millions of years
and people still think this world is boring

whatever happens just don't think about the concept of q!bbh being jailed and tortured and while he's in there and long after he's been mangled body mind and soul everyone finds out he's innocent, and when they go to save him/break him out DAYS LATER he's unshapeshifted, larger and fiercer looking than normal, contrasted with how he's shaking while curled up in a ball covered in a mixture of fresh and dried blood, his horns are cut in half, and im sure there's worse that's been done. just don't think about it too hard guys. hahaha just don't (i hurt my brain thinking about it im so sad about something that hasn't happened)

Anytime a demon shows up in a movie, it's always "oh no! get a priest! get holy water! get some crosses!"
and never "hey guys what makes us think that the Catholic Church as an institution is prepared to fight evil? Particularly when it relies upon the existence of perceived evil in order to maintain its power??"
Or "Hey, why does every story about magic and the Catholic Church also tend to canonically validate Christianity as the one true religion??"
And Wendall & Wild is like, "don't worry, y'all. We got you covered."
--
Anyway, this is yet another reason I love the portrayal of the Church in this movie. This is the most thematically coherent animated American film I've seen in a thousand years.

Hellooooooo just had the coolest experience at the paramore concert :D!!!!! security handed out these special passes to random people in the nosebleeds, where you get to go stand BEHIND the stage while they play the encore, so guess who just had Hayley Williams look her DIRECTLY in the eyes and make heart hands @~@

totk critical tag is like 90% "why isnt the narrative good" like have you played a zelda game before. a coherent narrative is a bonus. these games are all derivative of the same kinda bland story. you're supposed to be here for the gameplay first, the story like 3rd or 4th. its okay. you dont have to like the story. but youre coming to the wrong franchise if you think the story was ever good...

Because it is trending, and something i think about often,
Did you know native people of oceania and latin america are related?
As in, share DNA?
Did you know the first inhabitants of south america were polynesian explorers?
It never fails to blow my mind

Maya spill the hot hot tea of what you think of Shadow & Bone series (I’ll say it cz I’m evil, it sucks—-except the cast, the crows in particular really look the part)
I mean listen ive only seen 5 eps of the second season, I haven't read the shadow and bone books to compare and im watching this season with maca who's the worlds biggest hater and we cant get through 2 minutes without her finding things to bitch about and it CLOUDS MY OPINIONS bc I try and think of a scene and all I can hear is her YAPPING
that being said okay mmm I really truly dont give a fuck about the shadow and bone plot, like I just dont care and borderline skim lmao the special effects when she does her light stuff make me violent + does ANYONE like her and mal?? anyone??
I hear nikolai is meant to be hot and charming and all that? physically he bores me lol he's just giving baby face frat boy and im not about it but like, I get it, I guess he does the job (I say as someone who's unfamiliar with his written character and dont know what the job is)
ben barns is hot hes HOT he's so hot and I would rather watch him sit in his dark vibey room and be mute and pissed off for 45 minutes than watch another scene of alina whine about thinks I dont care about and thats really the situation. also, I love genya and david is a punk ass bitch and I wish they went more into her trauma and fucked up past lmao
I so agree on the cast! I really think the crows are FANTASTIC, a way better portrayal than I would have expected. I just, like, we're all on the same page regarding the crows being the more enjoyable part of this show? yes?
im really enjoying how this season seems to be more about their actual book events (unless im remembering wrong? I feel like s1 was mainly made up stuff and backgrounds to tie them into the show and s2 is more book 1 stuff?) and for a story where so much of the oomf is in between the lines and in the "you need to read 600 pages of so many small things that alone mean nothing but together have such an impact" of it, I do think theyre doing a solid enough job. I do think that a lot of it can be quite cringey, but personally I feel like this kinda story and some of these finer dynamics are inherently cringey when on screen and more palatable when its on paper so thats not really a critique on them, more so just is what it is. I also appreciate and am endlessly surprised by how much screen time the crows get given its not technically theyre show. but thats probably bc its just the better story :)
