[maverick-werewolf]

man i totally respect your preferences but like damn, werewolves arent real, you can kinda do what you want with them, you can follow myth closely or make up your own shit if thats what you like more... your blog is rly helpful and i rly appreciate what youre doing but the like "theyre NOT werewolves if" like... lol

If you "respect my preferences" and enjoy my blog, why send a shitty little message and even hide behind being anonymous while doing so?

Laugh at me and move on. But you should consider growing up beyond sending condescending anonymous messages about what I dedicate so much of my time to doing and working on completely for free just because it's my deepest passion.

And if you really do enjoy my blog, you should grasp by now the importance of maintaining any integrity to something based in legend, so the real-world folklore and mythology do not get corrupted by bad pop culture and then misinterpreted and ultimately forgotten just because some insecure modern writers want to be "different."

Werewolves have haunted the human psyche for time immemorial, all across the entire world. You can’t do better than something that, at a base level, has never left the minds and souls of people who are terrified and fascinated by it.

Let me lay it out for you again anyway: if you want to be "different," you don't need to use werewolves.

There are many, many things one can do with werewolves. But turning them into zombies or into dogs or into some other total nonsense that has nothing to do with even half a werewolf legend won't make them anything other than zombies or dogs or some silly nonsense creature.

Let werewolves be werewolves. If you want zombies, make up your own zombies and call them something original. If you want weredogs, do that, call them something else. If you want something entirely different, make something up yourself.

In this world that claims to uphold "originality" so much and picks on people who base things in history and legend, what's so wrong with that?

Some people, like me, love werewolves, and we love to recognize them as some form of being a werewolf, even if it's a person who turns into a wolf or a person who dons a skin and becomes a man-wolf or someone who turns into a wolf-man when they get angry or the Hollywood classic werewolf under the moonlight or some other variety. Again, there are a million things you can do with werewolves and still have them be recognizable werewolves that werewolf fans will love and that will pay homage to the terrifying mythological creature that has lurked in the nightmares of humanity for as long as humanity itself has existed.

But braindead pop culture doesn't need to utterly destroy what I and so many others have deeply enjoyed all our lives and what humanity has told tales about forever just for the sake of wanting to be different. The fact that they aren’t real is so far removed from the point that said point clearly flew into the stratosphere over your head.

Go be different with something else.

So, apparently, HBO Max (or now just Max) is going to make a Harry Potter series. Putting aside J. K. Rowling's views on trans people, the fact is that this is completely unnecessary, not to mention creatively bankrupt! When the show comes out, let's make sure that its views are extremely low.

Disney Can Never Ruin Fantasia, Which Makes Me Happy

It’s no secret that my favorite film of all time is Fantasia.  It is a combination of flawless and phenomenal 2D animation and some of the most beautiful classical music ever.  There was a deleted scene from that movie of Clair De Lune, my favorite piece of classical music that got cut, and thankfully someone uploaded it to YouTube.  I wish they had included that on the blu-ray release of the…

I really shouldn't be so afraid to post this, but this one post has bothered me enough to the point where I just had to rant about it. I won't be surprised if this post results in a lot of followers dumping my ass. There's another controversial rant post I'm gonna make soon, so I guess this is a good enough warm-up.

It does take a lot of mental gymnastics to make "Rules for thee, not for me" sound justifiable.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Also, I don't think that equity is working out very well right now with the race-bent Snow White.

Side-note: Snow White's fucking name comes from the in-story explanation: "skin as white as snow". But that's not something we should respect right!

Just imagine the number of hopeful girls who would've been honored to have been chosen for the role of Disney's first-ever princess and would have shown so much more respect for the role and the story than this. I'd hope the social brownie points were worth it, but most people are actually seeing this lady for what she truly is.

Hell, the bigger problem nowadays is how most Disney Princesses are being given the same feminist story beats, being strong independent women who don't need no man and are also total girl bosses. Sure, just gut out the story in the name of "progression". And slowly make the Disney Princesses a "progressive" hive mind.

Also, there's the whole Nani controversy that really shows how skewed the priorities are of everyone who advocates for blackwashing established white characters.

Nani being dark-skinned isn't crucial to the story, though. Her actress is still a native Hawaiian, which is objectively the more important representative aspect of casting in a movie set in Hawaii with Hawaiian culture being heavily featured.

Look, personally I'd advocate for casting people who actually look like the characters they're portraying if these live-action remakes must be a thing.

But clearly the Hollywood execs don't agree. So this casting doesn't bother me. If anything, I find it hilarious - especially after seeing everyone throw a hissy fit over this. It showcases their hypocrisy, as these are the same people who were all "CHANGING ARIEL'S SKIN COLOR DOESN'T MATTER YOU BIGOTS". On top of that, these people are actually wishing harm on this actress, solely over her skin color.

Let me guess, though. It isn't really racism if colored people oppress and threaten and harm white people, right? By this logic, it's just a matter of ~equity~ that fair-skinned folk are subjected to the same prejudice. For fuck's sake.

Nah, let's just normalize the concept that no one can relate to a character unless said character looks just like them. Let's encourage kids to embrace narcissism and refuse to find commonalities in characters that don't physically resemble them in any way.

Because apparently it doesn't matter that I can't see myself and my mother in Tiana, even though her driven, workaholic underdog story resonates with us. But because we're not black, we're not allowed to feel a kinship. It's inconceivable for a little girl to feel that she, for what she is on the inside, can relate to a Disney Princess that she shares no physical traits with.

Maybe I'm just crazy for believing we should focus more on who we are than what we are. Maybe I'm a monster for discouraging indulgence in narcissistic behavior. Am I a bigot for rolling my eyes every time I hear a cry for "MUH REPRESENTATION"?

I like to think I'm not. But society is so heavily fucked in so many ways these days. So much that I'm actually afraid to post this publicly.

But I shouldn't be afraid to speak my mind when I see bullshit being glorified. So I'm gonna give my piece, come what may.

#I don't even think the live action remakes should exist #I am against them as a concept #and there's not a single one I enjoy #they're symptomatic of disney's creative bankruptcy #not a single one of them add anything to the legacy of their counterparts #but I can't make them not happen so #at the very least I just feel the need to point out the hypocrisy #halle bailey to her credit was much more respectful of the movie she was starring in the remake of #even called ariel her 'absolutely' favorite disney princess #but then proceeded to celebrate all these changes to her character #but like #ariel still had fascinations of the human world in the og #she had that long before she met eric #she didn't just give up her legs for a man goddammit #her father fucking traumatized her by destroying her special place #she felt like she couldn't go back home #cuz she's like 16 y'know and teens be dumb like that #that scene in the og of triton blasting all of ariel's things was legit scary for me as a kid #I totally understand ariel being stupid enough to trust ursula because she felt she had no place to go #that's what I hate about these remakes #the actors/actresses totally muddle the message of the source material #anyway sorry if this offends any of you following me #I'm just sick of the hypocrisy and it being glorified #Youtube

Actual things I have done in assignments for school:

• used Two Trucks by Lemon Demon in a project; started out the connective paragraph with "okay, hear me out"

• "I love me some semicolons"

• on an assignment where we had to graph "I ❤️ MATH", I thought "wouldn't it be funny if this said I heart meth" and I wrote that instead subconsciously. In pen.

• made a ranking of all the Stardew Valley spouses and presented it (I got an A+)

• Decorated a worksheet with so many Stella Octangulas that my math teacher had to have a talk with me about it

Whenever a book/sth I love is being adapted and the cast/director/writer says: it will be exciting, with A LOT OF SURPRISES FOR THE LONG TIME FANS AS WELL,

I am already depressed. WHAT surprises bestie, you are ADAPTING. This already tells me you didn't adapt shit but the names and setting, but still desperately want the hype and viewership the existing fandom provides.

You don't want an audience with existing, concrete expectations? Don't bait one then and write your own thing.

please dear god tell me that everyone understands the reference bc if anyone thinks i'd ever use the incorrect quote format unironically i'll lose it. anyway. okita's foot broke in three places and i get the irony of my okita figure being in the worst health but like. c'mon.

#after much deliberation i decided that this is probably what this blog is for after hours #welcome to dailyfatefigures after dark! aquamarine is dead to me (and to the rest of the world). now for a better reason than 'took the #chance for me to own a cute gray scale away when they declared bankruptcy before finishing her prototype so another company couldn't #pick her up and release her instead' (<< he's insanely bitter that most gray figs make her look 30) #not figures #also i get the irony of having more haruhi suzumiya figs in this post than fate figs. i do have more fate figs total i just also have more #of their boxes so i didn't have to get as creative while moving them

Thinking about the 'Globe of Cameos' in the Flash and how it could have been better and every alternative I think of makes me angrier at the lost opportunity

#like. you coulda had grant cameo. have a small moment of 'Hey Barry.' 'Hi Barry.' before Grant's Flash got fuckin bodied by RF #or Routh saving a cat from a tree or smth and looking up at the fissure #Or using Keaton to do an homage to Batman Triumphant the same way they homage Superman Lives lmfao #like having him fight a very retro looking Scarecrow or something #woulda been fun man. but nooo instead we got creative bankruptcy #;out of webs.

In a Q&A at the Sands International Film Festival in Scotland, Russo and Epic Games chief creative officer Donald Mustard mused about the potential ways that artificial intelligence might aid filmmakers--or just take over filmmaking duties itself.

"Potentially, what you could do with it is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling. So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie, or a TV show," Russo went on.

"You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. 'Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe's photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I've had a rough day,' and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that's 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you."

I don’t know about the rest of you but I cannot think a more nightmarish end game for art than this.

#the entire POINT of fucking art is communication #every film - even silly or bad ones - is another person or group of people reaching out to you #they want to turn art into a mirror #remove all the creators - the people - from it and turn consumers into goddamn parakeets #amazed at their own reflection #I'd say this amounts to lazy fanfiction but that wouldn't be fair to fanfiction #fanfiction is made with genuine love and passion for the subject matter - with no expectation of financial reward #this is just the final piece of turning art into a commodity: removal of humans from the creative process #it's a fucking nightmare and the fact that Russo wasn't finishing this lecture with calls to action #shows a bankruptcy of thought and dare I say it - morals #because what is the movie he suggested #right off the cuff #if not a self-indulgent deepfake of a real goddamn person? #AI Art #Automation #Joe Russo #Hollywood #Commodification #AI Art is Not Art #right from the cuff #(and of course an executive from Epic was there too 🙄)

When will it $%^$’ing end???

Now they’re remaking Time Bandits apparently in some modernized version for streaming. Yet another memory of childhood about to be broken unnecessarily.

For god’s sake, Hollywood, STOP IT.

Create something new for a change. Or if you’re out of ideas, at least adapt something that hasn’t been adapted before. Seemed to work OK with Neil Gaiman and The Sandman, right?

I don’t normally post angry (so if you’re a new follower you’re seeing something rare) but I am so ******** done with this.
