mostly reblogs, but may rumble about games I play and shows I watch

[knickety]

“It’s a resort what do you expect them to wear” okay so hey who is in charge of deciding the setting for the game. They’re not real people being forced to go to a resort and dress like that, the location and their designs were both Active Choices, and that is what I have a bone to pick with.

[sanquisorbae]

So when I first saw those designs I got very excited (it almost didn't register to me that those are not skins but even after I was still excited) but ngl that was just neuron activation from seeing Aventurine

but then again. I don't WANT fan service sp characters. even if those are my favorite characters (which both of them are), I'd rather them release 2 new characters and 2 skins for them in the same patch than this. even if it means I won't be able to afford both

*sigh*

Honestly between genshin doing character assassination on fatui (and probably also the hexenzirkel I do not believe the current genshin writers could do Rheindotter justice) and this hoyo has been really dissapointing

[kevmeisu]

she's so perfect i miss her so bad

[sanquisorbae]

Have been very lukewarm on all things genshin ever since lunar ii but. sad to say I'm here for the long haul still...as long as they keep giving me enrichment i. e.:

very tall set pieces to climb for no real reason- bonus points if they got something there. like. even just 1 (one) egg. a sweetflower. literally nothing being there will not stop me. I. Must. Climb.

(by the archonts do I crave to climb those blue towers. OR towers at the entrance!!!! BUT. THEY. ARE. NOT. EVEN. HAVE. COLLISION!!!! or even rendered!!! I am Tantalus being tortured by the gods)

[psdeeart]

finally it's finished, comm for FriegesChair, it was a challenging one but I really had fun with it!

[detectivehole]

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

[detectivehole]

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

[qqueenofhades]

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids' movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn't get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

[flavinbagel]

In response to the question “How did a movie like this get made at all much less by fucking Disney?” there was a recent Vulture article that outlines the whole shit show of a history behind this film according to everyone (writers, directors, VAs, Stings) involved. The gist of the story is that they fucked up making a whole, true-to-form Disney musical that never came to see the light of day SO BADLY that Disney switched directors, locked the writer’s room, and didn’t review a single script until weeks after the film was in theaters.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:

[theterriblethingabouttulio]

holy shit read the article. it’s worth it and completely batshit

[kat-witha-k]

This is fucking insane

I've never adequately appreciated the batshit brilliance of this joke, I've taken it for granted

Holmemes pt. 53

Is Holmes gay? Is he aro/ace? Is he some secret third thing? Is he all of the above? Who knows, but we can all agree on one thing: that is not a heterosexual man.

What you said about the changes in characterization.

They saw the memeing about girl dad Blade and decided to make it canon. Another example of why creators should absolutely NOT interact with the fandom. Fandom doesn't know shit; the memes are only fun because of the absurd contrast that a insane death seeker mass murdered could be patient and actually good with kids.

Also, seeing Dan Heng for the past 100? 200? years and hunting him down until death or escape because the mara and insanity takes over getting suddenly changed to "you make me calm"????? What In The Fuck?

I thought it was funny the obvious flirting and insinuation when I saw that scene at first, and then it was kinda weird because they're also going strong on the danstelle/dancae shipping as official, but besides memeing (which should stay totally as off-character, off-actual-game), it's just plain wrong characterization.

Perhaps we could just go through the classic escape route of Blame The Woman, and say that Kafka fucked up his head so much she fixed him but also made him a worse-bland character. Tame. So the question now is how messed up they made her. Perhaps Doting Mother Kafka to go with Doting Dad Blade? Maybe she will say something absurd like she is afraid (!) for TBs safety, and that is actually the whole point of her following Elio - to learn about the motherly fear all woman have for their dear dear offspring.

you’re going to make me throw up and faint please have mercy

[b1adie]

i hate this new dad blade angle. where’s my creepy freaky weirdo monster why the fuck is he putting a child protection lock on silver wolf’s phone bc she gamed too late and “talked back” to him??? why does every group of characters get turned into a nuclear family dynamic? blade is a dissociative disconnected filthy blood-soaked deathseeking freak. Why is he suddenly the chef of the group he should be eating raw meat in a corner and not allowed near the stove. why is he making dinner for everyone now. because hes dada papa? googoo gaga mama waaahh?

[b1adie]

and and AND re; the cooking thing. His hands are fucked up??? His hand injuries are a legitimate disability that severely impedes his motor skills??? but now he’s just been cooking this whole time?????

?????????????????????

[b1adie]

Do you have any opinions on how 4.2 wrote Dan Heng and Blade? I think it completely threw out a lot of their established character and just made them into whatever fandom shipper slop would sell the most Mortenax units. But I'm curious what a shipper who actually looks more at the lore and the characters thinks of it.

nope i fully agree with you. on one hand i’m like, omg yay blade kibble! but the renheng was so oddly forced and flavored wrong that it just made me like it less. this is not what im here to ship this is suddenly making a huge jump from “dan heng makes blade’s mara flare and blade attacks him” to “dan heng existing calms blade” like huh? what? no?? the reconciliation was supposed to take waaaay more work than that if it even happened at all? this is not my yaoi this is yaoislop wearing their faces. i would prefer the characters frustrate me while remaining in-character than being sanded down and smoothed out to try and pander to me.. its slop your honor.

[austin-heh]

my favorite thing about Jmart/TeaHolding is the diversity of their relationship in the first and the last season, which has, like, three year gap or smth.

S1:

Jon: I hate you and your stupid face, I hope a meteor will fall on you on your way home after work so I won't have to either see you or read your damn awful work.

Martin, smiling nervously: Ah, he's in rather good mood today! Didn't even tell me to kill myself

S5:

Jon: Martin, my dear, Sun to my Moon, my precious Martin. I'd kill myself for you. Please, tell me to kill myself for you

Martin: (lovingly) Jon, you absolute fucking moron
