When Kris finally sees Gaster their gonna go "G-g-g-g-g-g-GASTER!!!" and leap into Susie's arms like scooby doo then the credits will roll and Ralsei will come out to the front and say "Wow.... that really was a delta rune" and shitty jpeg curtains will close over him and the game will boot you out and delete itself off your computer
after rewatching nimona four times since its release (because yes, this movie is just that good), i caught a few little details that just make the whole experience so much better. so, incoming SPOILER ALERT, don’t read this if you haven’t watched the movie yet. speaking of, why the fuck haven’t you?? go watch the movie (and read the comic while you’re at it, some sites offer it for free), then come back and enjoy.
1. When the Squire gives Ballister his sword, he clearly realizes something’s wrong with it. He’s trained with it for so long that he knew that something was off just by holding it. This detail is something you wouldn’t pay much attention to when you first watch the film, but it’s there to make you realize something is a little off, especially when the Squire attempts to show him the video, but it also has plausible deniability so you could chalk it up to being something else (ie. the Squire wanting a picture with Ballister).
2. This sneaky line from this sneaky bitch.
3. Nimona tells us exactly how the movie ends. (Sorta. In a sense. The phoenix rises from the ashes and overthrows the government.)
4. You can see Nimona sneaking into the jail where Ballister is being kept.
5. Mini Ballister and Ambrosius! I think a few others have pointed this out before, but I only noticed it upon my second rewatch. (A little surprised younger Ambrosius didn’t have the Asian bob. That’s like a right of passage.)
6. Nimona’s train backstory versus her flashback.
7. During Nimona’s nightmare on the couch, she turns into a wolf, and then a cat. In her flashback, as the villagers attack her, she turns into a cat and then a wolf. It could be because having her turn into anything else would be too big for the couch, but if this is intentional, then it means Nimona was having a nightmare of that day.
8. This. Visually, the sparks are sorta similar, and in both instances, Ballister has lost something irreplaceable. I think this one might be a reach and may not be intentional, but my mind connected the two scenes and wouldn’t let go, so.
Honorable mention: the gay and trans flags above Ballister and Nimona respectively in that one scene. iykyk. I didn’t add it because 1. I think many other people have brought it up and 2. the mobile app is limiting me to 10 images. Anyway, I love this movie and its comic SO much and I’m so glad that it made it to our screens from the box of scrapped movies that could have been great if people (namely, executives) gave them a chance. There is so much love, care, and passion put into this movie, and you can really sense that this was made for its audience and its author, for its story and not only for the money it could make. This movie is metal as fuck, so GO STREAM IT!!
if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.
this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.
incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?
why must everything that the text clearly states atp be misconstrued like i really dont get it he has plenty of flaws in that relationship but we, and cersei, know that he was ready to kill robert for just the disrespect of the cheating if cersei said the word. he doesnt concern himself with the personal consequences, he is reckless, detached from a lot of things, and can close his eyes at the future if he doesn’t want to acknowledge it. also the concern over the “shame” and ned type judgement feels so overestimated to me atp. he never regrets aerys, he is mad at how he is perceived (but again, notably doesnt try to rectify it by telling the truth for a lot of complex reasons), but he would never take it back. if he believes its the right thing to do, and is not overdosing on copium trying to juggle vows he cares about, he will do it, reputation be damned. though he has selfish concerns regarding being viewed as good, the internal matters so much more than the external: see weirwood dream: who actually shows up? what makes the fire go out? “it was not him. it was never him”, see the trebuchet fiasco, see the choice in adwd. why shouldnt we take cersei at face value when she implies that if jaime knew about the physical abuse he would have killed him? he loves and cares about cersei to an insane degree, even if he can be selfish toxic and unhealthy too. i really find it very very difficult to imagine that he wouldnt have killed him based on almost every single part of his characterization.
Can't stop thinking abt marcia and simon!!!! They're the same person!! They're the same person except marcia got the apprenticeship and simon didn't!!! Marcia worked hard for years and then it all paid off but simon worked hard for years and then everything came crashing down around him. Of course he went insane
gurl, i struggle with depressive disorder :-ccccc, how do you find value in your everyday life?
You can't, cause it dont exist! Value is something you create, not find! I create value through a job and career I love, the lil family I made along the way and my silly hobbies. Imma say something that's not very popular or PC but, from my observation of my own struggles with depression et al, and from observing those close to me, imo a lot of us don't suffer from feelings as much as we suffer from a lack of discipline. We find it difficult to wake up at a set time every day, to eat our meals at a set time, to go to sleep at a normal hour, to resist things that actively harm us (drugs, alcohol, procrastination, scrolling endlessly, binging etc), to do things we don't find fun or engaging (like showering, taking care of our looks, what are we, show dogs?), but that are good for us/our future. We give in quite easily to our emotions when it comes to things like that, and that imo is a problem with discipline and not necessarily the emotion we're giving in it, because that emotion is actually very logical ("it no fun I do not Want That"). I think the more we develop our discipline muscles, the easier it gets to do things that are good for us, and that over time improves our mental capacity to seek out more difficult things and deal with more difficult things. I think a good first step is to listen to research and start working out! It was already proven not once that working out helps with depressive/anxiety disorders, and it helps ur body regulate ur sleep and appetite better. And, this is my own 2 cents cause I'm a sports junkie - for ppl who struggle with looking towards the future and seeing results, working out is a great metric of progress because u can actually see and feel said progress - suddenly you can lift heavier, maybe you can do more reps or sets, suddenly your back is well built, maybe you start seeing your arms differently. It changes both body and mind. What if you start going on an hour long walk every day/other day? Get some sun on your vampire skin? See pretty colors outside u usually don't pay attention to? What if after 2 weeks of doing that u find that walking is actually really easy and u start, allah forgive me, jogging or running instead? What if after a month of doing that you suddenly have a killer ass the ladies can't ignore? What if the mental conditioning you developed from being disciplined through the discomfort of physical activity suddenly helps you with being more assertive at work/with your family? What if it puts other things in perspective for you, emotionally?
Dealing with disillusioned feelings and mental states is difficult, but it is best achieved through small incremental steps you can realistically take, that build on top of each other. So, my ultimate advice is - pick up some weights, let ur monke brain do the rest, and don't look for value, create it yourself <3
just a kind word for all of you lovely folks out there: if you say the r-slur or you don't call out your friends for saying it then i hate your guts :)
