Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

Pokemon Horizons showed off Professor Willow in exactly two seconds of its new OP and I can't believe I have to watch this show now. I have to watch over 100 episodes so I can go watch this show and understand what's happening when he eventually makes an appearance in an episode

That's my guy. I'm his number one fan. What do you mean the mobile game professor is in the anime and he still is rendered like an actual human instead of an anime character. He looks so stupid I need high definition screenshots on my desk yesterday

HAPPY 4/13!!!!

Really glad I'm reading Dracula Daily again this year, for many reasons, mostly because I love it, but also because I'm writing my thesis on the novel in the fall, so I get to use DD as a countdown to when my thesis is due

Tempted to reignite my old Pokemon AU. I made a side blog for it and everything, but then the hyperfixation died. However, I'm a better writer now, and I think I should go back to it

Plus, ScarVi and the Legends games weren't out at the time. The time travel and Arceus plotlines would go CRAZY

The whole AU was about legendary pokemon trying to mess with the human characters. I think they would have opinions about Volo

I've watched all the episodes of Witch Hat Atelier several times each, both dub and sub. (I did sub first, but I think dub is becoming my favorite. Joshua Waters Qifrey got to me)

My friends all told me to read the manga months ago. I didn't do so. I think that might change once the summer comes around. I need to know

Don't worry, mutual with a zero-note post. I've added your post to my queue. So, in 6-8 business weeks, we're going to do big numbers! Such as, 1.

[bubblytarts]

Consuming several different medias with your friends at the same time is great!

Except for when they ban you from spoilers and suddenly every one of your hyperfixations has to become a blocked tag

I'm the dog begging for the food on the table and my friends are gently petting my head and telling me no

the camerawork and composition of Wake Up Dead Man is incredibly instrumental to the storytelling in a way that I think most people miss if they aren't art students or insane film nerds. (i am said art student and film nerd, my niche is literally camera angles)

Wicks is almost ALWAYS shot in a low angle. (also known as a worm's eye view). This is an angle used to make the subject look larger than they really are (think, a person looking down at the ground). This is used in film to convey power or presence in a scene. This angle conveys authority, power, who's in control in the scene. Now, it can also be used in reverse, but this is not the case with how it's used to frame Wicks. And if he is not in a low angle (rare), he is shown to be in control in other ways, be through other framing devices, or the fact that he is yelling or physically moving towards someone. Even in the scene where Jud is UP ON A LADDER, Wicks is positioned in frame as bigger than him. Wicks is always bigger. (AND WICKS IS SMALLER THAN JUD. JUD IS 6'1".)

And by contrast, Jud is, for most of the film, while interacting with the flock, shot in an level angle. Even if the angle has a slight high or low tilt, he is almost always equal in height or positioning with the other characters in the scene. While yes, he has authority and power over them via his position in the church, he does not abuse that power over them like Wicks does. He is trying to stay on their level. He is equal to them, and sometimes, he's shot in a way that makes him SMALLER than them. Jud is not a short character, and his past would imply he should have power over other characters if he wanted to. But he is small. He does not take up space. (which is another great element to characterization but that's for another post).

The camera angles and shot blocking of this movie are just as instrumental to the emotional storytelling and impact as the lighting is, and I hope it's noticed by more people

Me prior to the events of Legends Z-A: This is my Pokemon Trainer OC. She's from Kalos and her role during Z-A is that she's going to compete in the Royale!

Me now that Z-A is out: This is my Pokemon Trainer OC. She's from Kalos but she's not in Kalos right now because she's too busy trying to find her stupid professor. Yes, she knows he's "away on research" in a "far off region." She does not care. Where is he.

I gave Jarlaxle an axolotl*

So I have a homebrew DnD world (it's called Untoril because it's Not-Toril, there's more lore there I'm not explaining in this post) and Jarlaxle Baenre is an important NPC there. He was a particularly crucial NPC in the first campaign I DMed in the setting

My Jarlaxle has a pet axolotl*

Now my dear friends and players at the time were obsessed with a certain gif they found on Discord called Wooper Wednesday

^ This is the gif in question

Now, this gif was posted every Wednesday in my DnD server for several weeks straight, ESPECIALLY on the weeks when we were playing DnD ON Wednesday

Jarlaxle had essentially become the party's weird not-dad figure who was definitely teaching them how to do crime and definitely had his own personal reasons for aligning with them, but he was also trying with his whole chest to kill every bad guy who so much as frowned at the party, so they liked him

An important note about this campaign is that while it was primarily about Untoril, the existence of other worlds was a key world building detail (of which I will not elaborate in this post)

All you need to care about is that other worlds existed, and my friends looked me dead in the eye and went "So. We have a Pokemon world. It's canon. How does this affect Untoril" and because I'm not a square, I let them play with Pokemon for a bit. (This was not in the campaign itself - but anything the players did with their characters outside of session was canon unless it contradicted campaign lore)

During the campaign, one of the party members had set out to make custom animal plushies for all PCs and a few important NPCs. They asked what the PC/NPC's favorite animal was, and a few weeks later in game they would have a custom plushie.

In the fugue state Jarlaxle puts me in, he dramatically explained why Axolotls were god's perfect creatures and we didn't deserve them

Thus, plushie

Thus, when asked if Jarlaxle would go to the Pokemon world, I had no choice but to send him there and give him a Wooper

He did initially steal said Wooper, and was tracked down by Pokemon Rangers until he filled out the proper adoption paperwork, which he found so goddamn funny that he just did it with no complaints

The Wooper's name is legally "Better Sarah," after his adopted daughter, (because in Jarlaxle's paraphrased words "Better Sarah won't ever run off and leave me to go kiss bard boys,") but everyone calls it "Wooper Baenre"

Wooper Baenre has matching hats with Jarlaxle. Wooper Baenre also has a gun taped to his tail with masking tape. Guns don't exist in Untoril. Wooper Baenre is essentially Stabby the Roomba for the Bregan D'aerthe
