#Look I get the hype I really do

[ninadove]

Look. I love Shadybug’s outfit as much as the next gal, but I really don’t get all the hate for the original design all of a sudden.

It’s a superhero suit for a fourteen-year-old, that must combine a red canvas and black spots without making us want to rip our eyes out. It needs to remain practical, both in-show and to allow for the mass production of goodies. Of course it’s not going to be super flashy.

Another thing to consider: Ladybug’s suit was conceived as a basis for more complicated transformations. As such, it needed to be simple enough to allow for additions, while still being recognisable. We would not have gotten all these cool alternate designs (Yes! Even Shadybug herself!) without the original suit.

And from a meta point of view — the costumes are supposed to reflect the holders’ personalities and subconscious desires. Marinette never wanted to be a hero; I think we can forgive her for not putting that much effort into hers.

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #fanart #what the heck happened last summer? uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh #anyones guess really #i other news s2 has been validating some of my plans for this comic in INSANE ways #hyped to be smug about it #also comfort drawing feels nice #i needed this back in my life #and i will no longer be spending my lunches being social in any way so i should have more drawing time! that turns into a plus i guess #i did some of this drawing during a lunch #also will be doing other job during lunch #monkeys paw #kineticallyart #if something looks worng or is missing uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh no it doesnt #its a dream we're fine #darryl totally hasn't forgotten that he should be bleeding right now nope #for the record it wasnt JUST the daunting amount of detail effort #that frankly i was losing track of #that made me take so long to get back to this #but its not NOT that yknow? #i decided i care more about pacing myself and getting it out than making it Perfect #which was always the goal with this thing

man the lack of appealing stage design or visual effects or lighting or significantly interesting camera work completely kneecaps the dances from p3/5d as compared to p4d. i think the dances themselves are completely fine, if not better than p4d in a some cases, but there’s so little charm in the presentation that i can’t bring myself to care nearly as much

#it’s just so boring looking even if the dances themselves are interesting #there’s not even an audience!! no ones watching them!! why should i!!!! #i loved how the p4 characters feel like they’re on stage because they ARE ON STAGES #how do you even do dream fluff while not making any dreamlike imagery at ALLLL #do you really expect me to get hyped seeing the ground floor of tartarus? you think that’s even remotely interesting? #as opposed to fantastical stages with hordes of shadows cheering? #even the p5 palace sets are boring. they’re so big and empty #p4d posting #rambles

the more photos of Sophie T I see the more I understand why she’s so beloved in the fandom. she’s just a whole fucking mood. like

first one she’s completely dead pan doing a perfect thumbs up

second one she’s doing an exaggerated stereotypical Italian hand gesture

and in the third one she’s just fully stanced up with her fucking coffee. what an icon.

#anyway i’m just starting to understand the hype around her sorry i’m late to the party #I DO LOVE Natalie Scatorccio #i just saw these photos and was suddenly like. yeah. I get it. #I know they’re not technically in character for all of these but also they definitely are #Yellowjackets #Yellowjackets cast #Sophie Thatcher #Natalie Scatorccio #(also bc JackieShauna brainrot and I know these are loosely in character but the fact that Jackie/Ella and Shauna/Sophie N) #(are next to each other in each of these and esp the way Jackie/Ella is looking at Shauna in that first one) #(adorable) #(I know people have different takes on who would have figured out their feelings first Jackie or Shauna) #(but I firmly believe that Shauna is oblivious through sheer force of will. like ‘of course I love her so much that I hate her.’) #(‘that is normal and acceptable.’) #(meanwhile Jackie like. knows how she feels about Shauna she just hasn’t really put together what it means.) #(like ‘yeah she’s the most important person in my life and I love her infinitely more than my long term boyfriend’) #(‘and prefer being held and touched by her and yes i’d let anyone die to save her and i cannot imagine a future without her in it’) #(‘and that i couldn’t imagine us losing our virginities separately. that’s not like. gay or anything.’ #(last point a paraphrase of something Ella actually said about Jackie) #anyway this turned into a JackieShauna ramble whoops

[itspileofgoodthings]

I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.

#the dancing phantoms on the terrace do they get second hand embarrassed #is e v e r y t h I n g #but also I can’t stop thinking about: #you. look. like. taylor swift. in this light—we’re lovin’ it #like just the flow. the cadence. not even just the rhyme but #her ease with language and playfulness with it and all the little pockets and corners of so many songs #even ones you think you don’t like. settle in with time! #like the thing about taylor is that she is VERY much a poet #in that some of her genius/way with words is innate #and the images and stuff she uses the turns of phrase can feel so garish and embarrassing on first listen #they JAR #but honestly I think it’s because she is truly …. new? she is doing something NEW #and the shock and outrage that always goes with new things is always present with a Taylor album #and I think she’s drawing on so much from the past to write but she is so deeply rooted in the present cultural moment #so it’s so easy to dismiss her writing on first glance as like. idk a college girl’s idea of poetry #as being too Stark or Melodramatic. #she loves OBVIOUS imagery and extremely dramatic ones too #but she isn’t actually just throwing stuff at the wall #because pretty much always. it starts to land and soften and settle #and the image she’s chosen has done its job of drawing you into a world #and/or communicating an emotion #and sometimes it’s so upsetting. like. get me out of the bedroom with Matty Healy taylor!!!!!!!!!! but. the art is art-ing! #I guess is what I’m saying. she’s good at this it isn’t just hype #but some of it really is that she’s taking us places we might not want to go or are so quick to pass judgment on #as being unworthy of a song or more importantly a poem. but present art HAS to do that #and does do it!!!!!! idk I am just. musing

ch. 446

#konan #i think konan's silence during the whole exchange is very interesting to me #but also really frustrating like. look at her. she isn't indifferent while she listens to the story of the fall of her 2 only friends #we just know that she is quiet because kishi just didn't know how to handle her and just had her be nagato's cheerleader #but also we see that she wanted to just end things right there by killing naruto. she is really someone who doesn't speaks up more- #than she believes is enough. and she is certainly not the kind to just overshare her life and feelings. not even once we see her- #doing that. the only thing she mentions to naruto was that the tendo was yahiko's body and that nagato was the only one who kept her- #from leaving akatsuki. we never see the history from her own perspective only from nagato's and what we know of her are memories #ugh!!! i love konan but her writing frustrates me so much!! she is such an interesting woman who isn't swayed by emotions #and goes straight to the point and has the most unique jutsu but!!!!!! #alas!!! she is from a popular shonen series whose purpose is to hype up nagato!! she gets CRUMBS

Look I hate Nintendo as much as the next guy but the (maybe) oncoming legal action against Palworld kinda has some merit. There's a lot of original designs in the game, but there's also lots that very blatantly use parts of the models that are used in modern Pokemon games, and allegedly there's also some designs that are just fanart taken without permission.

Like from what I've seen the people deep in the discourse trenches are using both the "The designs are NOTHING alike!" and the "It's a parody, it's SUPPOSED to be a rip-off!" arguments interchangeably and it's like- No. No, you can't use both of those at once, they're paradoxical.

Either you believe Palworld is just another mon game, and just like every other mon game, there's some design elements that are inevitably going to repeat, in which case we'll have to wait and see what happens, or you agree that Palworld is plagiarizing and you're okay with it, in which case you can't really complain when a lawsuit hits.

#i'm looking at the palworld tag just kinda laughing at how overly passionate people get about the discourse #nothing against the game it looks fun but this isn't the first time a mon game has been hyped up as a Pokemon Killer #the “ITS A PARODY BRO” defense also really sucks for palworld because i highly doubt that's what PocketPal is going for? #like yeah it's taking the piss a bit with the pal abuse mechanic but pokemon is not the only mon game that makes a big deal #about the relationship between mons and their owners #if it's taking the piss at anything it's at the genre as a whole #treating it as just Pokemon Killer/Pokemon But Edgy is a disservice to it #and it's gonna cause it to age horribly. if the (maybe) oncoming lawsuit won't do that to begin with #that said though the feature to enslave humans is... A Thing for sure #like i get it's a commentary on humans and mons not being too different but #well IRL we didn't exactly have a slave trade consisting of cloud eevees let me put it that way #pokemon #palworld

hi there, long time listener first time caller. genuinely i love your blog sm, everything you say about hera brings me so much joy.

anyways, what’s eiffel’s favorite ice cream?

hi, thank you so much! that means a lot to me. ♡

eiffel's favorite ice cream... hm. once zach said eiffel's favorite ice cream would be cotton candy dippin dots, and i love that answer. other than that... i think he likes 1) sugar, and 2) novelty. eiffel's not a same flavor every time guy; he's mixing scoops of bright neon flavors favored by children and then covering them in toppings. he also likes coffee ice cream, of course, and he doesn't think you can go wrong with chocolate. even better, combine those, too. he likes ice cream sandwiches, and the deep fried ice cream you can get at fairs. as long as it isn't trying to be fancy or healthy, i don't think he'll turn it down.

... there's also a non-zero chance that cigarette candy put the possibility of cigarette ice cream in his brain. that guy's taste buds are broken. love him so much.

#thank you so much really!! #i definitely see you in my notes all the time + please know that i am always happy to talk about hera whenever <3 #speaking of hera i know i've said this before but #i think eiffel would hype up junk food and if hera could actually eat she'd be like. hm. it's not good actually #hera's favorite ice cream would be like. kulfi. #minkowski of course is a big fan of ice cream. more of an ice cream enthusiast than eiffel who is just a general sugar enthusiast #and she wants like. the really decadent rich kind with cake bits and stuff in it. but she absolutely refuses to indulge #except on scheduled cheat days and this drives eiffel out of his mind. she's like despondently looking at a milkshake place and he's like #why do you torture yourself. and gets one for both of them. even if she complains about it she won't turn it down #like he knows it's giving her an excuse. #asks

okay hot take time with tumblr user designernishiki yet again.

i really don’t get the hype over majimako like. at all. I’ve tried to wrap my head around it but every time I just end up so confused how it’s such a popular pairing and wondering if we played the same game like?? they had no chemistry, barely even knew each other (and what they did know of each other was almost entirely built off desperate traumabonding) and people treat the pairing like it’s the most deep, romantic thing in the world despite there being like. nothing there. at least romantically speaking. it’s honest to god baffling to me.

their most iconic “romantic” image together comes from a scene where makoto wants to fucking run away from him because she wants to find lee, who she fully trusts and who’s in danger (and probably also because majima’s literally just admitted to initially planning to murder her.) and he has to hold her there so she doesn’t get herself killed by running (literally) blindly into the street or something. how on earth is that a romantic scene.

their little sort-of date consists of majima being kind and sympathetic to her, sure, maybe even displaying some surface level feelings, but she’s completely preoccupied because of the massively important issues going on at the time with the lieutenants who wronged tachibana, she’s more or less probably plotting their deaths in her head during that scene, and in the end she purposefully has him run to get takoyaki so she can flat out Leave without him stopping her. because she has other priorities and is Not In The Headspace For A Soft Sentimental Escapade to say the absolute least.

Whatever they were, they were not In Love, they didn’t have time or circumstances for that, or to get to know one another as Actual People rather than as incidental liferafts in the midst of a sea of traumatic, nightmarish events. majima attached himself to her and felt strongly about her safety and eventual return to normalcy because she reminded him of himself and wanted her to have the pleasant civilian life he couldn’t give himself. on her end? honestly I don’t think she felt that connected to him at all up until the end, namely up until when he fixed her watch. and even then “romantic” is not even close to the word id use for what she was feeling– in fact I think that waters it down, if anything. I mean like fuck she was there bringing flowers to her brother’s grave in the spot where he died in front of her i really don’t think this was about romanticism, it was about compassion and selflessness and wishing her good luck in her new, free life, while expecting nothing from her in return. he cared about her and her outcome in life deeply and this would be the case regardless of any romantic feelings for her.

Anyway I didn’t mean for this to turn into an essay and somehow I could go on for longer but I absolutely do not need to. I just. am so secure in my thoughts about this and sometimes seeing how people talk about this relationship and it’s supposed deep romanticism makes me feel like I’m losing my mind or played a completely different game or something ngl. don’t get me wrong, ship whatever you want I’m not saying it’s problematic or something it’s just. bizarre to me how popular and sensationalized it is. and a little frustrating how applying this overdramatic romantic narrative to them can so often water down a dynamic that’s way more nuanced and interesting on an individual character level.

#long post #rambling #it drives me a little insane. can you tell #I don’t know man #sometimes I really feel like a lot of people just like it because it makes majima seem more Normal and Less Fruity #not saying everyone is like that #but #I do think a large portion of the hype comes from this mindset consciously or not #and if I wanna get Real spicy for a second. I think the insinuation that he somehow developed feelings for her after knowing her for like #less than a week and only in the worst possible situations was written in as a way to- at least somewhat intentionally- #provide an excuse for why majima’s relationships with women in future years either crumble horribly (mirei) or he doesn’t take any #genuine interest in pursuing them at All. it helps to be able to point at shiyawase nara iiya and go look! he’s Like That because he’ll #always only have feelings for makoto! there’s definitely not anything fruity going on with him at all and he’s definitely not been #into his close male companion for possibly entire Decades #and what’s annoying is that this strategy. if it was. in fact. a strategy. worked pretty well #people really do think he’s been romantically hung up on her for years and that’s the sole reason he doesn’t pursue any women #(sans mirei but that’s. a whole different discussion. and obviously did not work out very well.) #but anyway #yeah #fun fact this pairing is the only tag I have filtered on tumblr like. period. fhfjfjdjdjdj #I KNOW that’s petty of me and like I said there’s nothing like morally Wrong with it or something it just. annoys me. #and I’m gonna be real since I’m dumping all this here anyway. every time I see an alternate timeline pic of them where they’re like. a #Normal Couple with a Normal Life and majima is a Normal Guy i physically recoil i just. i hate it dude i really do #like agshdhfhdhdh majima’s development into who he is hinges SO MUCH on embracing and accepting the fact that he’s not Normal and will never #be Normal and that’s okay– in fact that’s great in its own way because he doesn’t have to fit into a mold and can explore whatever #eccentricities and hobbies and parts of an identity he wants to create. for better or for worse. y0 majima still clings onto hope that he #has the capability for ‘normalcy’ and he sees that potential in makoto. but eventually has to come to terms with that not being an option #for him. and he mourns it at first but is quick to take advantage of the freedom that comes with that realization. and etc etc etc. it’s so #important to him as a character and such a big queer theme as well and I hateeeeeee when people erase it in favor of ‘but what if he was #Normal and not a Freak.’ bdhxhffjbfb I ran out of tags so I need to shut up fr fr

[oopsalltes]

i feel like all of the dig the vote campaigns we actually got were good and necessary for the story even if i have some issues with the gameplay for pos and koc but i am also kind of sad about the possibilities. like we're probably never going to get an elaboration on polar's relationship with shovel and black knight, we're never going to get that goofy ass sounding enchantress campaign that probably would have been really fun, we'll never get to see treasure's bitch ass get some more spotlight cuz i honestly think hes a really fun character that doesn't get enough attention </3

#text #shovel knight #i am definitely the most upset about polar/black knight not having campaigns #i feel like they DESPERATELY need more explanation #treasure trove just deadass drops the fact that polar/shovel/black were all friends and just never gets to look deeper into that #and even though black is hyped up as shovel's rival he kinda just doesnt really get time to do that very much #bro shows up twice in soh as a boss thats kinda it... #like his relationship with SHIELD KNIGHT is way more defined to me. god knows what the fuck kinda beef he has with shovel #and treasure knight ... #hes such a fucking asshole i need more of him

am i in a mood, have i been listening to the g.enshin soundtrack and my classical music background and composition major screaming at me to break some of these songs down ?? yes. like this if you want me to break down songs associated to your character from g.enshin hahaha, or tell me who you want me to do. little side quest while i'm carrd-ing.

#ZERO ⋅* OOC ] : KNOCK KNOCK. #my tagging really is lax at the moment haha #but look i just think this music is completely underappreciated #like i know it gets hype but from a composition standpoint do you have any idea the level of DETAIL they've gone to? #it's quite magical actually #ANYWAY HIT ME

oh my fuck. i just learned that across the spiderverse is now banned from egypt because of the protect trans kids flag that shows up for a few seconds. i'm MISERABLE.

#miserable because of the painfully blatant transphobia but also i really really really wanted to watch it. #i was really looking forward to it i made plans and convinced my parents to let me go see it alone. i was so excited. #i was hyping myself to get through finals so i can go see it. i had my last final today and my first thought was #'now i can go home and watch the first movie so i can watch the 2nd in the cinemas!' #and yeah i guess i can still do that online but i'm thinking i don't want to because it may just make me depressed about not seeing the 2nd #it just rubs it in my face that lgbt egptians cant have a single moment of joy or fun! they'll go great length to ensure we can't smile! #i HATE it here i hate it here. #transphobia tw

So I just wanted to talk about my Passion Project™

Give you all it's name and summarize it so that there's some kind of baseline for whenever I bring it up again, because it's important to me and I've had the idea for a few years.

It's called "Dino Plateau"

I want to make an RPG farm sim(think harvest moon/story of reasons, stardew valley) but with dinosaurs.

The core theme of the game is simply "Life should be an Adventure".

A lot of that adventure would come from exploring the plateau filled with dinosaurs, and scripted story events with the few townsfolk living there.

I'm using DS-era games as inspiration for a lot of the pixel art style and gameplay.

Though I want the game to ultimately be wholesome (as expected in the farm sim genre), I want it to be free to touch on darker topics typically associated with dino media, like survival, injury, and death.

I'm opting out on making romanceable characters, to focus more on just having decent character writing regardless. (people will just have to use their imaginations for self-shipping)(and I bet it will be better than whatever I would have written)

Anyway, it's definitely a remix of a lot of preexisting game ideas, but it would be my remix, my vision. So I'm excited about it! Regardless of how far it gets :)

#yes i am aware that this is the same base idea for a 3d indie game that released recently. #props to them i still need to check it out bc it looks adorable #postmadders #dino plateau #my biggest 'one fear' irt this would be if i overshared my ideas and someone stole them and implemented it all for a quick buck :') #which i'll be honest i have NO idea how rational that fear is. i feel like this concept is such a winner tho. #like IM convinced that done properly this would make bank. not my Main motive BUT it would motivate theft. #and like i would have zero means to do a thing about it #anyway thats largely why im /trying/ to keep it a relatively private thing u_u #if i ever really get it going then ill start hyping it on social media. but rn it is in a fragile early state

[dbphantom]

maybe i should have gone into practical effects instead of computer science...

#when i was in middle school i used to use red and black pens + spit for blending to make it look like the backs of my hands were torn open #i can't believe it's almost 4am. i just spent 5 hours typing up an essay about MM's erik that i just fuckin privated bc i was embarrassed #AND I STILL NEVER SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AAAAAAAA #i was right but im going to save all my points for the fanfic im currently planning out and promptly NEVER GOING TO ACTUALLY WRITE #I say shoving my plans for my h2o s3 rewrite off the table #yes i skipped from s2 to s3 i had a BRILLIANT idea [season 3 h2o spoilers ahead be wary my mutuals who are still watching] #okay so you know how lewis goes to the american institute of marine bio in the middle of 3? since this is tied to my s2 rewrite fic i wante #to actually finally reasonably re-introduced dr denman to the story because i never liked that she just fucked off at the end of s1 #despite WITNESSING the moon pool magic. so i made it so she runs into lewis while doing a presentation for the college and they have a chat #(because her JAW paper plays an important part in my s2 rewrite bc i imagine lewis is the kind of guy who SAYS he deleted every copy of #it... but ACTUALLY he secretly printed himself out a copy to study in private to compare to his own notes bc #[lewis voice] come *on* guys just THINK of the progress that he could make with this! [grabby hands in front of chest]) #so yeah they have a chat and Linda kind of gives Lewis the opposite dilemma in s3 that Louise gives him in s1 about science and magic #since SHE knows about the moon pool and has been biding her time and she knows Lewis knows and Lewis is like ah... uh oh. #it will eventually tie into the idea it's not about forcing science and magic together or separating them #its abt respectfully and responsibly utilizing both to see their fullest potential. which lewis learned in s2 and Linda has... not. #BUT #later on she gets a call from 1 (one) ryan who is like 'hey so i heard u did environmental studies on mako for dr bennett a couple years ag #and i was wondering if you've seen anything weird there as im currently doing a-' and she's immediately like 'YOU SON OF A BITCH IM IN' #and he's like 'wha-' and she's like 'i have already booked my plane tickets we're going to have a great time we have lots to talk about :)' #and wheeee now they have someone who knows about mermaids on their team and it's the perfect way to bring lewis back to relevancy in s3 :D #it also gives me reason to have two bad bitches (linda and sophie) meet and get to know each other which is not a dynamic ive seen in #any of the H2O fics i've ever read so im very hyped to delve into how they'll play off each other #also charlotte is there so technically three bad bitches (only in my au Charlotte never lost her tail and is part of the gang she just move #because she felt like she needed to leave to really be able to find herself without being in her grandmother's shadow but she comes back bc #well... it's season 3 mako is sounding the fucking emergency alarms everyone is showing up sdkghkfjhg) #im also so so so hyped to show u guys who's coming back in the s2 rewrite because it ISNT denman and i think everyone thinks it will be :3c #(i said she when telling ppl to look forward to a familiar face... but can u blame me for getting hype she's one of my favorite characters! #i love u H2O #cruddy rambles
