I HAVE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS

catgoblinchelly

instead of redemption arcs, how about vegeta arcs. like how a character is now living perhaps with the heroes and interacting with them casually and is sorta part of the group.

They’re still a asshole, they haven’t changed in the slightest personality wise and maybe even don’t care about anything they’ve done in the past let alone feel remorse. They just hang around the heroes now for whatever reason.

My wife and I went to the movies a few nights ago, and during previews, the trailer for Friend Request played, and as soon as it started, I was sitting in the back of the theater like

Hey guys

Remember LJ icons?

They were TINY. 100x100 pixels. That’s, like, digital scrimshaw. And people were obsessed with making good ones - and there were CONTESTS, super cutthroat ones, and trends would sweep the icon-making world every week or so and as soon as you mastered a technique it would be passé, and there were whole communities dedicated to tutorials and icon-making resources, and it was all its own WEIRD LITTLE WORLD.

Is there anything like that now? What do graphics-obsessed people make in the Tumblr era?

If there is one thing I miss about LJ it’s the shadow-conversations people used to have in comment threads solely with their icons. Icons had a vocabulary, and a grammar, and you had to learn it.

Gif sets: not quite used the same way.

rex-luscus

Right! It was a whole different dynamic because you could choose which icon to post with. So it would be like “I’m wearing my Severus Snape with a Weird Al song quote mask to say this.”

FLASHBACK MAAAAAN.

For a year or two I had a paid LJ account and I remember being actively excited about the EXTRA ICON SLOTS. I would be able to express myself with a wider array of Thor and Batman reaction images!

a friend and i once had a conversation that went to, iirc, something like 6 pages of comments, just the two of us, only with out icons

100x100 pixels wasn’t scrimshaw on the monitors we were using. It was a totally reasonable percentage of screen space in the resolutions we had at the time.

I miss being able to convey my mood on a post via icons.

thisisarebeljyn

I miss them so. And they didn’t use to be tiny. Our screens were approximately 1024x800 during the heyday and that was on new monitors, you always had to size your layout to under 800 pixels wide to make sure everyone could see everything.

also, icon-making was SO MUCH FUN. that was my first exposure to photoshop and oh my god, the hours i killed between seventh and ninth grade, making LJ icons in photoshop 6 – the graphics trends were RIDICULOUS (blue exclusion layers! floating red dots! everything in either violation or bold italicized georgia font faces! BOKEH TEXTURES SET TO SCREEN!!!) and i honestly loved it so much.

The accuracy

prncediana

“It’s my favorite scene in the movie and it’s the most important scene in the movie. It’s also the scene that made the least sense to other people going in, which is why it’s a wonderful victory for me. I think that in superhero movies, they fight other people, they fight villains. So when I started to really hunker in on the significance of No Man’s Land, there were a couple people who were deeply confused, wondering, like, ‘Well, what is she going to do? How many bullets can she fight?’ And I kept saying, ‘It’s not about that. This is a different scene than that. This is a scene about her becoming Wonder Woman.’” -Patty Jenkins on the No Man’s Land scene

We went and saw Wonder Woman the second I was off work. I’m so in love. The first battle scene I started to tear up. This movie gave me something I haven’t had since BTVS. Yes there are plenty of strong female characters between then and now but it gave me a female super hero on the big screen who was compassionate and strong and all the things I hope to be. When the movie was over I glanced at the audience and the majority was women or young girls. I saw a bunch of little girls with Wonder Woman shirts. It made me jealous I didn’t have that growing up but so happy girls have that now. We made a pit stop in the bathroom before we headed home and an old woman came in behind us, she must have seen us leave the same theater she was in because she instantly started talking to us about the movie. She told us that she could imagine how excited we were to see it but if we could imagine how she felt having grown up with Wonder Woman when she originally came out in comic books, just how excited she was to see it. She was so happy to see representation for women on the big screen as a super hero, especially with everything going on in the world. She told us she was a feminist and that she hopes this movie encourages girls to get out there and fight for what’s right. My heart filled with love for this stranger and I couldn’t stop smiling. Thank you Patty Jenkins, thank you Gal Gadot. May we all keep persisting!
