picked up Blue Prince, playing blind, I am now dreading the VAC puzzle that I know I'm going to have to do lol

I can't believe it's making me do math

[despazito]

op finally put into words my gripe with this genre

[gatheringkeepsakes]

Y'all need to be paying attention to The Glassworker then.

The film is set in a location loosely inspired by Pakistan, telling the story of young Vincent and his father Tomas, who run the finest glass workshop in the country and find their lives upended by an approaching war in which they want no part. The arrival in their town of an army colonel and his young talented, violinist daughter, Alliz, shakes their reality and tests the relationship between father and son.

Made by Mano Animation Studios and directed by Usman Riaz, it will be Pakistan's first hand-drawn animated feature film. It will be premiering at Annecy International this year. And I am beyond excited.

I don't want to compare it to Studio Ghibli exclusively as I expect it will stand enough on its own, but for the sake of this post it is worth noting that someone has tried to follow Miyazaki's traditional framework here. The anime inspired visuals, the gorgeous lighting and backgrounds, political themes within its story (what it's like to be an artist in times of war), as well as worldbuilding and folklore that pulls from the rich culture of the country that's creating the film.

Strongly encourage keeping an eye on this one.

I'd like to recommend Legend of Hei! The first movie's not the most political, but it does have very strong environmental themes. The second one though, is all about trying to prevent a war between humans and nature spirits. The opening sequence has a military force of humans invading and destroying a sect of nature spirits and it is Brutal.

It's very anti war.

And also the animation's extremely good.

Both movies are very strongly inspired by Ghibli movies, and the first movie's vibes are very Ponyo specifically (in how normal random humans are portrayed) with quite a bit of top notch shonen anime style fight scenes.

It's actually about a little nature spirit in the form of a catboy, who lost his home to human expansion and is trying to find a new home.

The second one's more of a mystery on who exactly is pulling the strings on this conflict and War Is Bad.

There's also a webseries that's got a much less serious tone, but still has the same kind of fast paced fight scenes and environmental themes.

That last gif is Luye from movie 2 and she made me gayer than I was before, she's a very good character and I love her.

In January I'm going to see if I can do a Thing. If I can do that Thing I will post more about it. It's the groundwork for a larger project that I really want to get started asap.

No spoilers!

Been watching videos of people touring their massive lego cities and I am so happy I don't want one of those beyond a vague whim. They're really neat, and look like a lot of fun to design and build, but also that's a decade long project and very expensive and takes up a lot of space.

However. If lego, perchance, decided to make a line of dinosaur fossils (and dinosaur adjacent, let me have a mosasaurus and a pterosaur) like that Trex? I will break and buy them all, and dream of having a room with full fledged displays dedicated to each one.

I won't be able to do that because I am definitely not going to end up with a high enough paying job for a house, but I can think about it.

The Legend of Luo Xiaohei season 3 announcement

[ohdeerymeee]

Still devastated that I haven't been able to see Legend of Hei 2 yet, pls whoever's in charge of putting it LITERALLY anywhere, have mercy on my poor soul soon, it was in theaters like 2 days in my area and I was working both those days ;-;

Just in time for Halloween!

Had some issues getting this to hang the way I wanted it to, it mostly worked. Probably would've worked better if the hook was higher, but it's way too late to change it. Works fine on short nails, just not the wreath hook on my door.

I do like it though, it was really fun to make!

Mother had a fun idea for an event, so now I am making as many magic wands (out of dowels, beads and copious amounts of Hot Glue) so kids can paint them (for a price).

As soon as the dowels we mail ordered come in.

Beads I have liberated from my bead collection to be added as wand giblets, to be attached with pins and hot glue.

[ohdeerymeee]

having thought more, pins are a bad idea actually. Will have to experiment with string, just hot glue, and idk, stronger glue.

I still really really want the next Supergiant game to have something to do with space. I don't care how it's space related, or what the story would be, I just love space and want more of what Pyre's map had going on.

Whatever they make will be good! Space would just make it better.

Spiderweb pins for Halloween!

[ohdeerymeee]

4/4 Turtle pins! I don't want to buy anymore seashells so I took the puffy fabric technique from my Deltaheart project and used it to make their shells.

[ohdeerymeee]

making Turtles so I don't have just one single pin design at the flea market.

[ohdeerymeee]

Welp, my october plans have been thoroughly broken, had a bunch of extra shifts, and now I have a week to package a bunch of inventory for a craft fair. Goodbye 2025 daily art challenge, maybe next year will work out better o7

Beadtober Day 10 (kinda)

This is rose design number 3, but I must move on, so it has been tabled for now.

[ohdeerymeee]

Beadtober Days 8 and 9. A Jellyfish and a Crow. I feel like these are more prototype designs than final ones. Something to improve later!
