The Acolyte showrunner just gave an interview talking about how the show will be "jedi critical" because "that's the story george lucas was trying to tell" and I'm about to commit a crime

#like I'm very upset because #the production looks extremely cool! #but i don't think I'll be able to put upwith the amount of bs I'm sensing from this #like what are they gonna do? #have jedi refusing to help people? be mean? #and then imply is was exactly how GL invisioned them? #(honestly the comparison with tlj was almost worse than this) #the point of that movie was that Luke was WRONG #how tf is a media producer saying this #just admit you're doing your on interpretation I'd be less mad #star wars #the acolyte #negative #pro-jedi #jeid positive

coyote/hangman being a rare pair in the tg:m fandom literally makes no sense to me

#he’s literally the only person hangman interacts positively with #other than rooster very briefly at the end of the movie #it makes more sense than hngster is all I’m saying #jake hangman seresin #javy coyote machado #I mean I like their dynamic regardless of whether it’s portrayed platonically or romantically #top gun maverick #tgm #coyote/hangman #macheresin #edit: I think we all know why this is probably the case #unfortunately

What are your main go-to beefs that you have with RiD15? Story? Characters? Designs? Ecetera…

Personally me, my main beef with rid15 is to do with the story, it tries to be a sequel to tfp and i honestly feel like it would've been better if it was a stand alone show with its own continuity

Not to mention the vibes the autobots have that come off as somewhat sinister to me, especially so in s4, and how it's an unintentionally pretty bleak outlook on post war Decepticon life.

The slight lore differences frustrated me at first but i mellowed out thanks to finding out it's now considered part of the aligned continuity family, rather then them all being part of the same exact continuity

#maccadam #transformers #other than that it's ultimately part of my childhood #I'm probably a fuck ton easier on it than other people are #it's not as bad as some may say_ but bad in my opinion is a very subjective word #like i enjoy the bayverse movies because they're bad #i describe my favorite type of pizza as edible cardboard (positive) #in my opinion just because something is bad doesn't mean it's necessarily the worst thing in the world #there's a lot of good things in rid15 and it's genuinely fun to borrow ideas off of it #transformers rid2015 #there are more in depth posts on it on this blog #tf rid15

thoughts on the great gatsby musical (the one going to broadway next month) ?

-🎵

Words. Cannot express. My disdain. My disappointment. My general frustration with that production. I have the jeremy jordan tag blocked on tumblr now. Praying to god Miss Florence Welch pulls through with her musical. I bet SHE read the book.

#the great gatsby #jay gatsby #nick carraway #no but seriously the characterizations are horrible #putting a woman of color into a role defined by her white rich privilege is another can of worms #the songs are so mid I almost wish they were bad at least then I might listen to them as a form of self harm #and starting off with a fucking covid joke??? #are you kidding me?? #making nick this wide eyed I Wanna Be Rich Too :3c ass bitch??? #i swear to god #if I have to see that smarmy smirking bastard ass jay gatsby impostor ever again #it will be too soon #like I already have very very high standards for adaptations of anything #in this climate where people are just reusing everything remaking everything adapting everything #like mean girls the musical the movie for example. it’s a movie based off a musical based off a movie based off a book. #how many degrees of separation until we start bringing something new to the table? #I pray to god florence has an understanding of the characters and the themes and such of the novel that goes deeper than watching the #trailer for the 2000 Gatsby adaptation staring paul rudd. #now I will say a positive to be nice: pretty Nick.

that movie really did the creature so frickin dirty by hammering it in that the brain used was abnormal and evil (WHAT????) and then having the character kill indiscriminantly, and gave him no sympathy at all.... girllllll they really did just take some topical interesting bits from the book and make it into a vaguely related film. where are all the THEMES

edit: apparently the original direction was much more violent and this is actually a toned down and further sympathetic version. wow (i read this thru imdb's trivia section so take with a grain of sand?)

#oh this guy is evil by nature and we should put him down like a sick animal. WHAT?!??!???!?????? #it was so mean to him FOR WHAT!!!! HE WAS JUST BORN #also the way (victor) talked abt him i thought his brain would like. adjust to being alive again? but it didnt really happen i think #he just kind of stayed very simple-minded. #idkkkkkkk it could have been good and interesting. i WANT to feel sympathy for the monster #and i DO but the movie tries so hard to be like Ooo Scary Monster lets Kill Him and Not Question Anything. dude #so yeah these are my frankenstein thoughts. #in a positive light i did like the acting/casting. i was wxcited to see dwight frye again and also edward van sloane YAAAYYYYYY #if i had a nickel for every time i saw dwight frye play a weird lil freak (affectionate) i would have 2 nickles. #original nonsense #i will say it again that i watched this movie a whole decade ago and did not remember a lot of this. 😐

man knowing that there are parents out there controlling what their kids watch and read is. wild to me. like as soon as i was able to read subtitles i was sitting in the living room with my family watching whatever the fuck my parents wanted to watch. the first tv series i watched was sopranos i think, to the point its been long enough that i dont remember a lot of it. like. i feel im at the opposite side of the spectrum there

#my posts #like im not saying that was a good thing exactly but like i am the age that you could see fucked up shit online easier than now anyways #but like. i saw a post about parents controlling what their kids read and it made me think of this #also a friend told me when dexter was airing his mom didnt want him watching it and he kinda did it in secret #im a year younger than him. i was asked if i wanted to join and watch #“hey we are gonna watch (movie that clearly isnt for kids) wanna watch with us?” “i dont want to be alone in my room. yes” #worst case scenario sometimes movies got paused and i got asked if i understood what was going on in there #like maybe that did something positive to my comprehension skills? but still #im not complaining i just. it confuses me so much #i wont lie i really dont remember a lot of those movies or shows tho #i remember the very basic plot of 24. i remember more about lost and dexter and house even if the way we watched it was #weird bc it was pirated dvds lmao. im completely lost at sopranos and i think i watched t hat shit twice. the whole thing #but like movies?? i really dont remember them a lot. unless ive seen them more than once and some of them were more like teenage years then #its kind of a huge blank and movies blending together. i also think this is kinda why i dont watch stuff a lot currently dsiugh #anyways yes back out of the rant. i genuinely dont get it. i mean i get it bc its a controlling thing but. man

Ngl I feel like I'm in some sort of "tiny thing re-awakens old interest" phase" these months.

And now I feel like rewatching Star Trek because of it. Guess I'll start with the AOS movies and then see what else my brain wants me to indulge in.

#linnie talks #fandoms #i mean it's not a bad thing #i just had other stuff planned for today lol #and I recently saw how nice rediscovering old movies (aka middle earth) was #so I am positively motivated to do it #have a feeling it will be very nice #guess last time I watched an AOS movie was in 2021?

The Incredible Hulk (1968) #246

#I actually really appreciate this guy’s consideration for why the Hulk distrust words #it’s been written in the past in a way that suggests that sometimes the Hulk finds processing information in words really difficult #to the point where it could be almost painful for him #and so even someone saying the right words to him wouldn’t help because that words are being spoken at all is overwhelming #and there could also be a sensory issue component to that #I think the novelization of the 2008 Hulk movie had a really interesting approach to this #where the was a scene where Betty was saying all of the right words to try to comfort and calm the Hulk down #which was followed up by the Hulk’s perspective where he could understand the tone of her voice and so her overall positive intention #but it was just so hard for him to focus to be able to actually make out what she was saying and the meaning of the words #which ties into that take on the Hulk as being this panicked response that really isn’t built for anything outside of that context #but it’s also notable how portrayals of the Hulk that are more verbal have him as this very straightforward character #he doesn’t lie or deceive people and he’s blunt in a socially unaware way where he’s actually often pretty rude #and you will have these scenes where the Hulk is just like stop I don’t want to fight #and the people attacking him are like ahh it’s a monster as though they can’t hear him #part of the tragedy of this character is that he’s not always great at communicating but when he is it doesn’t matter #so I like the idea that words are also not an ideal way to communicate with the Hulk because while he’s able to be direct #he doesn’t really have the skills to navigate that other people aren’t always blunt and truthful like he is #what I like about this character is these kinds of divisions #he’s got lots of problems and having issues with verbal communication is just one of them but then there’s lots of ways to play that issue #and they’re not necessarily contradictory and so can be played together #marvel #bruce banner #my posts #comic panels

ok so i am definitely gonna tryna do everything i can to get my hands on the breaking ice when it gets a theatrical release (seeing as the directors singaporean we might even get a theatrical release here owo) but i just gotta shoutout this absolutely deranged sentence from the indie wire review from the cannes premier

#honestly that entire review is full of deranged lines #the title calls it a movie about 'sad hot people in a chinese winter' and it goes downhill from there #and i do mean deranged (not derogatory) i just find it very funny #but overall definitely seems like the kind of thing id enjoy watching #and everyone seems to be quite positive about it! nice #lhr plays the suicidal one that's all i needed tbh

[agnesandhilda]

jesse what the fuck are you talking about

#bolo speaks #I wanted to know if the new puss in boots movie had some culture war bullshit around it #bc like it's an animated movie and it's very ~soft~ and emphasizes understanding your feelings and mentions therapy as a positive thing etc #but there are no main human characters of color or queer ppl and I wanted to know if that's all ppl mean when they say woke #like I wanted to see which way it would go. and this is the verdict I suppose #(I use ''woke'' in the context of how other ppl say it here I know it's wildly misused)

[beggingwolf]

mav whump mav whump mav whump! yes!! also when i first saw top gun i was not prepared for how homoerotic it really was like i thought people were exaggerating?? but no. it’s really Like That. it’s like 50% homoeroticism 30% flying planes 15% shoehorned in het romance 5% sunsets and golden hour and 100% military propaganda

I know, I know 😅 I think when the movie first came out, I read a REALLY scathing letterboxd review about how it was pure, undiluted military propaganda (complete with "the enemy somehow possesses military tech the USA doesn't, but they're so incompetent at using it that our heroes kill them while flying cold war relics" and "brave lone ranger stands up to military bureaucracy to prove them wrong, which is absolutely not how the military would actually allow that to go" lol) and I agreed and snorted and said "I'll never watch that" and then the day of the pens' equipment sale I was bored, drove past a movie theater with my geno stick wedged over my center console, and I thought: ah it's a matinee, why not.

and the damn hoomeroticism got me in the end

#all the critiques of the movie as a l*ckheed m*rtin ad are true and there is MUCH to discuss in how mav is positioned as both #an authority figure and someone laid low by higher-ups who want to outmode him #BUT... I came to this fandom for the sticky roomav feelings not to critique the american military machine. ethically dubious of me >:3c #on all accounts lol #I picked the ''hey wait they shouldn't be together'' ship for the movie that has ugly politics! spicy #hahaha #also they really couldn't have put another woman on the flight team? #that's very ''WHAT ABOUT WOMAN DRONE PILOTS'' of me so I don't mean it like that lol #just that I think phoenix's character had to do WAY too much heavy lifting and penny is removed from the battleground #anyways. ANYWAYS. head full many thoughts about this movie from many angles #also it just really is a well-made movie. it's fun it has good pacing and it's got solid stories. effective propaganda loltgm #tgm

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited

#I’m sorry for the rant I feel very strongly about this #I have more Barbie History if you want it #I did a full dive into Barbie History for a uni project and it was the best thing it changed the way I see her forever #she’s EVERYTHING he’s just her boyfriend Ken #barbie #barbie movie #barbie 2023 #carrot.txt

You've heard a lot about him from Abby, mainly bits and pieces that she's told you, but nothing really about him and the only thing he really says to you is that he's eventually going to pay you back. But you always refuse.

The old couch squeaks softly as he sits beside you, a gentle hand goes to reach your face but hesitates.

He’s been very busy for a while now that he has started his new job at a security guard that was shut down ages ago. When he comes home he's always so tired, like he's a different person. As if he cannot relax. You hear the door open and slam back as it he closes it.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you come back.." You whisper, groaning whilst you move out of the position you had been in for a while. Yawning as you gently wipe your eyes.

Mike looks at you, half-smiling as he leans against the cushions. He's tired, you can tell. "Sorry if I woke you, you looked exhausted, so I just wanted to cover you," he whispers back, stretching his arms. "Did Abby go okay for you?" he asks.

"I told her it's bedtime an hour ago, but you know how it is with little ones." You joke.

"Abby was great, she missed you, though.." You smile sheepishly, shifting on the coach to face him. "How was work?" You ask, seeing the slight bags under his eyes.

Mike chuckles softly, leaning his head back and letting out a deep sigh as he stares up at the ceiling.

"It was long," he sighs. "I mean, I've gotten used to it, of course, but god, it's draining..." He leans forward and rests his elbows on his knees, looking off to the side and fiddling with his fingers, trying to find the right words to explain what just happened at work. He seems hesitant to say.

"You okay? You can talk to me if something is bothering you." Hesitantly placing your hand on his shoulder, slowly forcing him to look at you. You've known him for years due to babysitting Abby, but he's never opened up.

"Well... it's just..." Mike sighs again, still not meeting your eyes. "...Abby asked me some questions about stuff today."

He rubs the back of his neck, shifting in his seat as if he's about to say something and then thinks better of it. He leans back against the coach, letting out a frustrated grunt as his eyebrows pinch in frustration. "I... I just can't tell her."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" You whisper, staring at him, waiting for a response.

Mike's face softens a little, looking over at you before he sighs, shaking his head. "It's nothing. Abby asked about the job, and... well, it got me thinking..." He shrugs his shoulders again, still looking off to the side.

"Look, I'll tell Abby about it myself, I don't... I shouldn't put it on you..." He sighs one again, staring at the floor.

"If you need me, don't hesitate." You place your hand on his thigh, squeezing it for reassurance. Gaining confidence, you slowly move your body off the couch and sit on his lap.

"Oh..." Mike says quietly, his face turning bright red as you place your hand on his thigh. He looks down at you, his expression of uncertainty on his face changing as his eyebrows rise.

He's speechless, frozen in shock at your touch, and his entire face is practically bright pink. He's suddenly a lot warmer, his chest heaving as his heartbeat picks up speed. "... Y- you're..." he says with the last of his breath, his brain having trouble finding the right words to say.

"Is this okay..?" You grind against his lap, whispering against his ear.

"Shit..." He stammers, his brain desperately trying to process what you're doing. He looks confused, his eyes drifting down to you as his mind races.

"What... what are you... n- no, it's... we can't..." Mike stutters, trying to find a way to reject you. But the longer you're in his lap, the harder it is for him to say no.

"Just relax, Abby is fast asleep in her room.." You grind harder against him, using your index finger to tilt his chin up, making eye contact when you suddenly hear him whimper.

"T- this isn't the time..." he mumbles in response, his eyes closing at the sensation and his whimpers becoming more noticeable.

"W- we shouldn't be doing this..." he whispers, his arms hesitating in the air for a moment before they eventually wrap around your waist. He's still torn between going along with it or saying no, his heart racing as he gazes at you.

"Beg for me to continue." You stop moving your hips, feeling his arousal throb against your ass. Wanting to see how he would react.

"P- please... God.." he whispers, the breath catching in his throat and his voice turning raspy.

He looks at you, his eyes pleading, his body quivering under your control. His heart is pounding out of his chest. He swallows, looking up at you as his entire body screams for you to keep going while his mind fights back.

"You can do better than that.." You tease, breathing against his neck, gently creating bruises as you feel his slightly breath hitch.

Mike whimpers loudly when he feels your bites, his muscles tensing as he tries to relax.

"H- I- please, don't stop..." he murmurs hoarsely, sounding completely different than you've ever heard before. He whimpers again, his head tilted back as he tries to hide the pleasure in his face. He can't believe what he's doing, but he can't turn away.

"Good boy.." Slowly reaching to take off your top, revealing your covered breasts as you start to grind against him, pushing your panties to the side, creating a wet spot on his jeans.

Mike looks down at you, taking in the view as your top is removed, his face getting even pinker as his heart races.

He swallows nervously in response to your wetness, his eyes trailing down your body before they eventually turn back to your face. His cheeks are bright red, his breathing heavy as he glances back down at you, looking into your eyes as you look into his. He takes a long, drawn-out breath, his entire body quivering with anticipation.

"Just take what you want, Mike, no one is stopping you.." You tease, eagerly watching his reaction.

"I- it's..." Mike starts to say, but he can't say no to you, not right now. He leans back, pushing himself deeper into you like he can't help himself, the breath catching in his throat as he takes in the sensation. His eyes are closed as he tries to ignore his own morals.

His eyes snap open, his lips parted as he whispers, "More.."

"You close?" Whispering seductively, moving harder as you feel your climax coming fast.

"Oh, god..." Mike breathes out, his face red, and his eyes roll back into his head. He moans, bucking his hips up against you, feeling himself come close to release as he cums in his pants, feeling you come down from your high.

[jytan2018]

I read the comic in one sitting less than an hour after finishing the movie, and wow I have many Thoughts™.

- It's very obvious the two versions were meant to cater to different audiences AND tell different messages. I don't get why people are going "But the comic was better! It had more nuance!" just because Nimona was easier to root for in the movie.

- The comic was written back when ND Stevenson was still trying to process a lot of stuff, so all the characters are morally grey/straight up evil and the climactic battle is between a Ballister who regrets turning against Nimona, even if it was to save others vs. a Nimona who's too hurt to care if her lashing out was going to hurt innocent people.

- By the time Nimona got a movie adaptation, ND was a lot more secure in his sexuality, so the climactic battle was Nimona vs. the Director, the symbol of religious oppression and bigotry. It's not just about your friends turning on you because you're "too much" for them anymore, it's also about a society that would rather bring itself to the brink of ruin than coexist with you.

- (I totally get why people were upset about Ballister's surname change, though. Like come on, the media dubbing him Blackheart just to be mean was RIGHT THERE).

- Nimona's metaphor for not shifting is such a neurodivergent thing. Even in the comic, Nimona's parents insisting she's a monster who replaced their daughter is reminiscent of the changeling myth, which is what many parents thought their neurodivergent kids were—changelings who replaced their "real" children.

- Ambrosius being trained to cut off HIS BOYFRIEND'S WHOLE FUCKING ARM instead of merely disarming him is a very cop thing to do. As much as cops claim they're trained to de-escalate situations, their training still teaches them to treat everyone as a potential threat, and that level of constant vigilance can turn anyone into a trigger-happy/arm-choppy bastard. Even the Director, who can use a sword but probably hasn't actually fought someone in ages, STILL can't see Ballister reaching for the squire's phone without assuming he has a weapon.

- And on that note, the Queen getting killed simply because she was trying to reform the Institution and allow commoners to become knights? That's the best "no such thing as a good cop" metaphor I've seen. Because even if there ARE good cops and they ARE in leadership positions, the system will crush them before they make any meaningful change. It's not a good institution that turned rotten, it's an institution that only exists to spread its rot and refuses to be good.

- That's why Ballister's characterisation is so different in the movie vs. the comic. Comic Ballister had 15 years to come to terms with his trauma and the Institution's evildoing, while Movie Ballister is still freshly traumatised and hasn't found a way to define himself beyond the role he was assigned by the Institution.

- Not to mention Comic Ambrosius was not very noble to begin with and genuinely believed Ballister was better suited to villainy than heroism, while Movie Ambrosius never wanted the glory that came with his lineage in the first place and only antagonised Ballister because of indoctrination he needed to unlearn (which he did, all by himself, after witnessing the lengths the Director will go to just to kill Nimona).

- It really shows how important it is to surround yourself with loved ones who are open to change. Comic Ambrosius can love Ballister all he wants, but he'll still blast his arm off because he thinks Ballister deserved it anyway. Movie Ambrosius will stop to question what "the right thing" even means, even if he didn't love Ballister enough to defend him unconditionally.

I have so many more thoughts bubbling beneath the surface, but I'll probably address them some other day. In conclusion:

[ID: A pink-haired Nimona grinning evilly while holding up a knife.]

Watch Nimona. This is not a request.
