One thing I love about mutant mayhem is that Leo has a crush on an April who’s not conventionally attractive. It almost feels like, because of the turtles’ isolated upbringing* he hasn’t been influenced by the popular western beauty ideals and just thinks this ordinary human is beautiful! And I think that’s really cool! Because she is!

*though they’ve clearly been exposed to celebrities and other pop culture so ?? idk lol

#tmnt #mutant mayhem #I’m usually a very ‘I’m ugly and that’s okay’ type of person #but that’s really only about the definition of ugly that = not fitting into the popular western beauty ideals #but everyone has something about them that’s beautiful to someone yknow #idk I don’t want to be out here calling this April ugly because I don’t think she is #but I know a lot of male fans of older turtles have been saying she’s ugly #and yeah it’s very cool that this teenage boy character has a crush on an ‘ugly’ girl #and I know I have no stake in straight representation lol but it’s just good to see the girl crush have unconventional features #though I will say personally I don’t want them to be together just because any turtle x human relationship gives me the ick which is fully #just a me thing I think like I don’t think it’s morally reprehensible to ship any turtle with an april or karai (03 leo and karai had me #shipping them as a kid before I even knew what shipping was lol) #my words #ALSO whoever voiced dr stockman sounded SO similar to the 03 him. I was cryin #i feel like this movie wasn’t the best I mean I heavily enjoyed it but I hope it builds up to more. the mid credits scene had me screaming #so here’s hoping we get sequels aaaaa #give me karai or give me death #SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER LIKE A CRIMINAL UNDERCOVER

I got bored and decided to mix my biggest hyper fixations together and created this

They're very much inspired by Young Justice '98. I was stuck between who in varigo would be Robin but then I realized that Hugo would never be a Super and that settled that. Also I feel like Hugo's Robin would be what Lonnie's Robin could've been.

#Nuru is my favourite out of everyone here #i love the way I drew her face I think she looks beautiful #also she deserves two suits #i didn't want to take the Impulse name for Yong #so I chose Bolt because I wached the movie recently and thought it'd be funny #already coming up for a traumatic past for Varian including Raps #Heavy inspiration from Kon for Varian also because he's the most interesting super fight me #it will also be interesting to see a super lead the team instead #this is such a self indulgent au but no one can stop me from making more of it #hugo 100% came from crime alley #idk what to do with his past yet though #i tried my best to add red to Hugo's suit but trustvme when I say it was not working #vat7k #hugo vat7k #varian tangled #tts varian #nuru vat7k #yong vat7k #varian and the 7 kingdoms #varian and the seven kingdoms #varigo #varian vat7k #vat7k au #vat7k fanart #vat7k hugo #vat7k nuru #vat7k yong #kenni art #kenni doodles

"Though I don't know exactly what you are or what you're up to... My bullets will find you — until then, you best find a casket store in Penacony, and ask the owner to reserve a good quality casket for you, imposter!"

Hardly could get more Western film than this

#That one scene in A Fistful of Dollars #The casket maker doesn't appear that way in Yojimbo if I recall #I love those films so much #Boothill has such a... soft youthful voice? I didn't recognise him at first. His voice is beautiful though #I talk too much #Boothill #The way he awkwardly laughs a little and asks almost shy 'Did I make a mistake?' lmao #I was wondering how he got her number and she gave it to him but gave him Black Swan's? #Or was Black Swan talking about Constance when she mentioned that 'she' who gave Boothill her whereabouts? Or someone else altogether? #He was kind of cute with that 'Did I make a mistake?' haha #'get that forehead clean and wait for me' this man is hilarious and has watched far too many movies xD #'are you asking me to write your will? Sure‚ go ahead' omg stop hahahahaha #'Not quite' responds Black Swan. Truly an elegant lady. I would have mocked him to no end #Hilarious too the idea or possibility of her apparently clocking him by the way he talks #'She's clearly not a Pathstrider of The Hunt. But you are‚ aren't you?' #Of course it could be context but it'd be funny if simplistic perhaps to think it's his manner of speaking lol #'go buy a bottle of Asdana's White Oak and warm it up‚ and I'll raise a glass to you' this man is hilarious and would be unbearable irl xD #I love the idea of an Emanator of Nihility existing despite the impossible. It seems very fitting #Also‚ unrelated‚ but I love Aventurine's little whimpers before his 'Didn't think you'd have the nerve to show yourself' #When Ratio claims he 'is the manager of this task' does he mean as undertaker or something real in the mission? #When he says Aventurine won't be seeing the Strategic Investment Department because he's the manager #did Ratio mean he will be the one dealing with the funeral or that there won't be a funeral at all because he's in charge? #I found this confusing

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

do you think this takes place during the vault times bc that would be extra funny

#'im good now! im doctor who! ive learnt all about morality from disney movies! #the doctor is gone for the week to a conference on vulcanology (which wont give me any ideas for the future) and im so fucking bored i made #this fun little outfit and went out to have some fun!' #'im doctor who and im here to break you out of prison and show you a whole new world which makes ME the street urchin and YOU the princess' #you know when 13 accuses bad guys of stuff but shes clearly projecting? got that from missy #though i suspect missy is more self-aware abt it #i think missy does it on purpose bc thats such a fucking meta performance of the self it's beautiful #she doesnt 'become good' bc that doesnt mean anything #she constructs a missy that is evil becoming good #and plays THAT #fucking camp

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.

#Wish #Queen Amaya #I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like #I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also #I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art #And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG? #I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more #but her good character is so interesting and complex #she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite. #Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect? #A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...? #I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain? #Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library #THOUSANDS OF BOOKS. #And knows basic protection spells #She's a devoted leader. #Like. #Idk #She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him. #She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay? #She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind. #And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo #But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be- #-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about? #Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior? #And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening! #I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage? #It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie.. #Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya #And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

hot take: beauty and the beast, at least the disney version i’m familiar with, falls under the austenian umbrella of “i won’t fix him, he can fix himself if he knows what’s good for him” (you’ve seen that one post i hope) and if you do think it’s an “i can fix him!” story you are missing the whole point.

#is it ethical to keep a girl locked in your enchanted castle in exchange for her fathers freedom even if she offers? no of course not. #am i super biased because i have a lot of formative memories of beauty and the beast and she was always my favorite because. books! #and also i’m working on a batb production right now and batb is the only animated movie to ever be nominated for best picture? yes. obviousl #obviously i am super biased. am i WRONG though???? #when the beast is rude to belle she’s rude to him when he’s nice to her she’s nice to him #also i read a version *cough*swan queen fanfic *cough* where they’re both trapped in the castle by the enchantment so that settled many #lingering unease #*any not many but i guess it’s almost grammatically coherent #disney tw #sorry lol #i promise i still think the mouse is evil i just like music and stories and animation and libraries

going through the 20th century girl tag to move on and appreciate all the great moments only to find out ppl would rather yijin died than not end up with heedo

#20th century girl #twenty five twenty one #20th century girl spoilers #spoilers #maybe I'm in a weird mood but I can't scroll any more asldkfj #I get why ppl say the movie did it better: pacing + showing aftermath + believable #even though the sadder ending was a surprise they set us up for it and have proper closure to the characters #and while I still have some gripes (what happened to the brother how did woonho diedoes the squad not stay in touch where are they all now) #overall it was solid #but idk if 25 21 pulled a 'he died' I'd be so pissed - it's lazy and thoughtless and not marrying your first love is realistic #their final scenes together were soooo good it's just the reason for parting was unbelievable & present day scenes left us with more qs #but to be like 'yijin and heedo were soulmates and their breakup is unthinkable so... #'instead of growing and moving ahead after all his struggles to establish himself and support his family he should just DIE' #like this 20th c girl ending is so much more heartbreaking imo sldkfjasdlldgfkj #watching him smile at sunrise all hopeful for a future with you he'll never have 22 years later is SO MUCH WORSE #idk I'm glad bora is shown smiling and cherishing what they had rather than mourning (tho she has every right too) but it still doesn't... #...feel like closure to me. but there really is no good parting when it comes to death huh #show me people can treasure their youth and still find happiness and fulfillment in unexpected ways down the line!! #there's a beautiful piece of 90s nostalgia media still waiting in the wings for us I just know it #just don't know how much I can take my heart being ripped to shreds in the meantime 😅 #ranting

Watched Porco Rosso for the first time last night, and was really surprised at how sexist and "made by a man" it was? I can't recall ever watching a studio ghibli movie and thinking that before. It wasn't even that the female characters were written poorly because for the most part they weren't. But all the men were constantly commenting on women's appearance and bodies, hitting on a 17 yr old, there are weird shots and lines, and the female characters' plots exist for Porco Rosso's

#idk i didn't like it??? there's a lot of artistic merit to the movie and it was BEAUTIFUL visually but it kinda pissed me off tbh #like the scene when fio stands up to the pirate men & they're all like wow you're so pretty you're flattering us we are eternally loyal now #it's cool that she did that but it's also clear that they only listened to her because she was beautiful #(something they immediately mentioned) #and right after she has a little emotional breakdown where she's shaking because she was scared and that's great #BUT the way she deals with it is saying I'M GONNA GO SWIMMING and stripping down to her undies in front of porco rosso #who blushes furiously despite the fact that she's 17 and he's like 40 or something #and that's not even dealing with the fact that hat she randomly got proposed to that same scene and the whole challenge at the end #is to decide fio's fate even though there was literally no reason for that to happen??? #and lots of comments about her bottom ajd and debate over whether she can do her job because she's a young pretty girl #and i KNOW this is how it was in 1927 but also this is not what I've come to expect fr studio ghibli #and I'm disappointed #wow lotsa typos in there but I'll live

i gotta stop looking at pics of margot robbie or im going to lose it completely

#she.. i mean HER… i mean oh my dear god she’s so beautiful and so charming i literally was mesmerised throughout the movie #the way her face moves is so truly beautiful like the under eye bags and the way her forehead wrinkles it’s so refreshing to see a 30+ year #old woman aging in a normal way and i am just sooooo.. like im literally ken rn though everyone calls me barbie #also that one scene in the movie (slight spoiler ahead) where she’s crying over not being as beautiful as the original barbie anymore and i #had JUST rolled my eyes bc yes she is and the #movie stopped and they broke the fourth wall like #‘note to directors if you want to make this line work do not cast Margot Robbie’ LMAO so real so true

Being Mentally Unwell about the Mamma Mia soundtrack

#mel's musings #mamma mia #THE BROADWAY ONE. not the movie one (although i like a lot of those renditions too) #but yeah i was raised on that soundtrack from an extremely young age despite not being allowed to see the show/movie for years #i had a pink ipod nano in 3rd-4th grade and that shit was ALL i listened to #and because i knew almost nothing about the plot at the time #little autistic mel tried incorporating her barbie 12 dancing princesses hyperfixation into the songs. somehow #(do NOT ask me how the fuck that worked. i don't have an answer for you. ANYWAY) #i had a shirt with the words “dancing queen” on it as a little girl. that is MY song and always will be #and as an adult i've discovered the name of the game is also a me song. as well as a sylvia song #i used to skip over slipping through my fingers as a kid since it made me cry. even though i never really paid attention to the lyrics then #but NOW??? i still cry. because i think of my mom. and the fact that she's the reason i'm so attached to these songs in the first place ;_; #and i have learned absolutely nothing from when i was nine because i am STILL tying my hyperfixations to these songs #and i assure you i am normal about narumitsu singing take a chance on me. i am SO normal i swear #and while it doesn't QUITE match up with how i picture the timeline of their relationship #the idea of phoenix having a mamma mia moment when miles comes back in jfa is fucking hilarious to me #GO LISTEN TO MAMMA MIA. come be feral with me it's beautiful here #music nerd shit

well. 5 Centimeters per Second still makes me cry my eyes out.

#In reverse order now though #From the first second I'm a fucking mess #Literally hit play and I'm already sobbing #Genuinelyyy doesn't get enough credit for making such good use of withholding closure or gratification #The scene from their childhood is the emotional peak #So you're waiting for the part of the climax that matches it or makes it all make sense #And you just have to sit there with Tono in accepting that it's not gonna happen #You the audience want to go back to that beautiful moment and so does he and you just can't #And the more you try the more empty you become and the more you fail to see in the present #Which honestly makes me sad that Shinkai ended up making his career in making the exact opposite type of movie . _. #He's good at evoking the crushing sadness that accompanies happy moments in realizing they won't last #Like the hotel scene in weathering with you was basically the only part that really stuck with me for that reason #For them all to end with But Love Finds A Way ((((: just kinda kneecaps them #By limiting where they can go and what they can do with the writing #God voices of a distant star and she and her cat too are so goodddddd toooooo #Shinkai buddy what happened

some may complain but i actually think alfie was one of the best decisions for santana to sing in 6x6. it’s a little funny that they cut out the “without true love we just exist, alfie” but the rest of the song fits soo well and makes me so emotional

#it’s one of my favorite gcvs ESPECIALLY santana-wise. her voice is beautiful #and it was very touching. i’ve seen other suggestions for a better song- like ones that may refer more closely to santana’s lesbianism #and being with brittany/another woman #BUT it was also meant to be a message to her abuela about how the sexuality shouldn’t matter bc santana’s happy and in love #and THATS what should matter #and that’s basically what alfie is about #i watched the whole movie (alfie 1966) too just so i could think harder about it #and yeah i still think it fits even though it’s meant as a message to alfie that he needs to stop being a Womanizer #and shit like that #but it’s also just about how lonely it is without true love #and that love is the key etc etc #so abuela not loving santana because she’s a lesbian? ummm yikes! isn’t love meant to be what matters #that being said i have Many thoughts about some decisions in that episode but overall #i just like that song choice which is my main point here amen #gleeposting

if you ask me, sabrina should've been cast in the barbie movie as one of her sisters.

#*and this is icarly! #barbie 2023 #sabrina carpenter #i mean ik she's technically too old for the role sdsdssdfghjkl #but she has been excuding the look of a barbie girl lately she's just so beautiful #she would've served in this movie #still super siked about it though it looks sooooo unbelievably good!!!!!

[snowberry-pie]

i do not want to see anymore heterosexual beauty and the beast retellings unless the woman is the beast and the beauty is the man and/or it’s a shrek situation and im so serious rn

#kikay speaks #i watched beauty and the beast last night and i love that movie so much though <3 #anyway. i could get into the Weirdness of how when it comes to m/f iterations of this trope it’s always like. #kind gentle nurturing woman x uncontrollable man whom she tames #which isn’t inherently misogynistic on its own but the prevalence of it and how it’s treated as the default is. hm.

there waz that post ages ago i believe pre my sweeneytoddification beam (watched the movie on a whim and then immediately made my sibling and 💀💀💀 watch it with me (seperately (i watched it 3 times within 2 days (im fairly snti movie now its like.. whateverrr its kind lame. also ewww to the lead actor who shall not be named)))) that post tyat was like Whats the unreleased project/song/movie/game/whatever that youre modt sad abt... And i didnt ha e an answer at the tjme but oh my god dude its literally the restnof the 2012 london cast recording I WANNA HEAR THE REST OF THE SONGSSS

#ik they didnt cut at least most of them they may have a bit theres a boot on yt that i watched and it had some that werent on the album #(pirelli. (no actually taking this out of parenthesis rq))-> The fact pirelli is not in any of the songs. in the 2012 cast recording. bc #they judt didnt upload any of the songs he was in. to the vast recording. ITS SICKENINGGGG i judt know theirnoirellis wouldve slapped i #just know their the contest wouldve slapped. UGH. AND NO GREEN FINCH AND LINNET BIRD??? DIABOLICAL. #sighh. i wish there was a proshit butterlass. the boot that i watched was pretty low quality which sucks bc from what i could see (not much #at all) the swt design was so cool... #also i say in this post in anti movie. dreadful secret. for the songs that arent on the 2012 beautiful london cast ..i do sometimes turn to #the movie over the 1980s.. and obvi over 2005 be serious. im likee #idk. helena bonham carters lovett is. fine. she has anice voice. However its like an entirely different character likee. why is she young #and sexy. Hashtag not my lovett. but its like. whateverr different interpretations whatever #i can accept different interpretations of the characters *looks at 2005* ... to an extent #but yaaa basicslly. the movies Whatever. it is also missing a lot of the songs oh my god and also . the fact . that they cut god thats good #or no. it wasnt cut they just removed everything that made it good right. So lame. and swapping its place eith johanna (? #am i misremembering...)... Incredibly bizarre decision 2 me. ehatever though
