learning languages is fun because in some areas youll be like "oh wow theres one word for this thing thats covered by 20 different words in english? thats so easy and convinient!" and then in other areas you'll be like "what the fuck do you mean you use different numbers depending on what kind of object youre counting. im going to kill myself."

have u seen baby yoda yet?

I have and it was designed by cowards. I feel only contempt for it. What i hate most about the baby Yoda, I will be honest here, is the lack of originality. Yoda is supposed to look like he does because he is unfathomably old. He is, like, 600 or something and iirc this is supposed tp be a fairly big deal even for his species. And yet here is baby yoda looking eaxctly the same as regular flavor Yoda minus like 3 wrinkles and a liver spot and plus shiny baby eyes??? Its like if someone tried to reverse engineer Stan Lee's species as a baby using only a pic of him at 95 and just made a small elderly Stan Lee with 1 less wrinkle. I loathe it. What it is is a transparent attempt to grab at both lazy recognizability of Yoda as a marketable character, and also + slapping on some generic 'cute' markers again very transparently for marketability. There is no thought to what makes a good design or to worldbuilding or character or to HOW AGING WORKS UPON ANIMALS. HERE IS THE BALD FACED TRUTH: BABY YODA SHOULD LOOK LIKE A MY LITTLE PONY SPINOFF ABOUT A GREEN PUG DOG WITH LUSCIOUS FLOWING LOCKS OF HAIR. YODAS SPECIES SHOULD LOOK LIKE THEY WERE DESIGNED IN A POOR ATTEMPT TO ELBOW IN ON THE LITTLEST PET SHOP MARKET WITH A "LITTLEST ALIEN DUDES" LINE IN 1998. They should look like they each come with a special personalized plastic comb. Why no one ever consults me on matters like this I will never fucking understand

"Oh boo hoo hoo we dont want one of our most recognizable alien characters to be from a species of little girls brushable hair plastic pet toys" too fucking bad whoever made that fucking puppet made this bed and we should all have to lie in it! Yoda is an aged Brightly Colored Eyelash Goblin this is SIMPLY the reality of the situation as it exists

GO MY GERM 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

I had the idea to do a cell model cosplay beamed into my forebrain like visions from an angry god a few weeks ago and started working on this immediately. and good lord this was the most fun ive had on a project in a long time. like seriously it was so fun getting creative with these materials and thinking about fun ways to do all the organelles. while working on this i probably went "hehehehohohe" at least once an hour.

I think i'm going to name this guy Prota Z. Bacilli. If you look closely I do have every basic organelle that you'd expect from a cell model. (and thats a flu shot lol.)

also please appreciate this costume iteration because. i had to get my mail in this and freaked out my mailman.

The core appeal of Willy Wonka is that he's a nigh-omnipotent maniac who uses his near limitless powers over reality to trick shitty people into killing themselves. You can't make him the protagonist of a whimsical coming of age tale - you have to treat him like Jason Voorhees, or Dracula, or any other horror icon. Give him some new victims and new interesting kills and set him loose, that's all audiences want.

I feel like I watched a somewhat different movie...

Gene lobbied hard for Wonka to be introduced as a feeble limping old man who suddenly falls into a forward somersault and leaps to his feet, because "from that moment on the audience won't know if he can be trusted." On a related note: the director told Gene what would happen during the boat scene, but none of the other actors were prepared; to this day, none of them are sure what he ad libbed and what was scripted.

My favorite detail, though, is his performance of Pure Imagination. On the surface, the song is charming and inviting, but if you look closely at him throughout the scene, you'll notice that Gene never blinks. He looks around, down at his feet, up at the trees; his eyes never fully close. He moves erratically, stuttering up and down the steps of the chocolate room. The lyrics are warm and friendly, but his face is blank. He bows to permit his visitors to run amok, but his posture is stiff. He helps Violet and Mike reach a couple of treats, but there is no joy in the gesture. The final post-chorus feels like a dirge, a threat, and a warning, all at once; Wonka sits in repose under a tree, but his eyes are glassy and dispassionate. "There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination; / living there / you'll be free / if you truly / wish / to be.......... "

Fantasy in excess, like anything else, will destroy you; that's the real message of Gene Wilder's Wonka. He taunts his guests with unrepentant disdain, and doesn't care if they live or die. He toys with their emotions, their safety, and their grip on reality, feeling no regret or remorse, no pity, no compassion. Fantasy is colorful and compelling, but it's false, and ultimately empty. Wonka is a walking maladaptive daydream, and as far as I'm concerned, that's the real reason the 1971 film has endured in the culture for so long.

I think a major thing that made me truly enjoy the movie when I was younger was how that sense of detachment, after it's built up so much, just compounds his reaction when Charlie does something good and honest. Him yelling that Charlie gets nothing at the end was the most honest the character had been up to that point- the entire time had been a performance to impress all these people and Charlie, the last one left standing, his last hope for decency, had failed him.

Then Charlie comes back with that everlasting gobstopper. He puts it on the desk near his hand and Wonka so tentatively reaches for it, and in the most emotional voice says, "So shines a good deed in a weary world."

And then he shatters the ceiling and shows Charlie the beauty and wonder of the real world rather than his imagined, performative one, because he wanted to see one goddamn act of kindness after surrounding himself with saccharine sweet and artificial performance for so much of his life. Like that ending truly gets me because he's snapped out of such an embittered funk.

I know this doesn't do much to agree with the, "Horror movie villain," or even "Malevolent Time Lord", but it's agreeing that Gene Wilder's performance really sold Willy Wonka to me as someone damaged by a lifetime of seeing the worst in people and had learned to only give people his fakest self.

My first experience watching Willy Wonka all the way through was on a high school journalism trip. My roommates had gone to the lobby to get dinner and basically bum around until curfew. I was wiped from a very long day of doing shit, and I had brought my dinner back to the room. I was flipping channels to find something to watch.

Silence of the Lambs was just starting on whatever channel. It might have been HBO. I watched the whole thing, never having seen it before. And then, I think I flipped channels again to find something else, and I landed on Willy Wonka on a different channel.

And I was terrified by Silence of the Lambs, and then I was terrified in a very different way by Willy Wonka. But I have always stood by the belief that Gene's Willy Wonka is NOT a nice person, and I will never back down from that.
