#I just want to scream my opinion into the void

[heloflor]

Wanted to share my thoughts on the Mario movie trailer because it gives me an excuse to procrastinate writing fics since everyone's doing it : So far this movie is 50/50 for me in terms of whether or not I'll want to watch it.

To keep it short (putting it under the cut for spoilers)

PROS :

The animation looks amazing, but then again this is pretty much the standard for movies nowadays. Still, huge props to the artists and animators working on this movie !

Bowser was badass as hell and him being expressive in such a """cartoony""" way works surprisingly well.

Kamek and especially Bowser sound really good. Props to the voice actors for those two !

Toad's voice works. Like he's not 100% raspy but such a voice would probably been very annoying to listen to for an hour and a half. Plus it'd be hard to understand everything he'll say and would possibly be detrimental to the voice actor's throat. So his "slightly raspy" voice works

I was NOT expecting the Mario 64 baby penguins to show up ! I can't believe that out of all the Mario characters out there, those annoying fuckers made it in. Just WOW !

CONS :

The Bowser scene let us know enough of what kind of humor this movie's going to have, and it's not going to be fun 😒

Sorta related to that first point but this movie was made by Illuminations, the studio known for making movies with cheap stories and the dumbest humor because "why bother making good products when people will come see our stuff anyways ?" (note that I haven't watched a single movie from this studio so take this point with a huge grain of salt). So despite the quality shown, the fact that this studio was chosen for this movie is still worrying me (in general Illuminations is a studio that makes me sad. Like, from what I've heard "Despicable me 1" actually had some heart to it and a cute story, meaning they can do good movies ! They just don't want to because it costs less money to hire less writers)

Mario's voice. Just Mario's voice. I have no idea who the fuck Chris Pratt is since I don't know shit about celebrities, but he is not even trying with this voice ! And the fact that he's playing the main character makes it so much more aggravating...

Not a big fan of this idea of "Mario is new to the Mushroom Kingdom", or at least that's the vibe his part of the trailer gave.

I'd also like to point out that my first thoughts after watching the trailer were "I won't go watch this crap". But after watching the french trailer, since this is the version I'll get in theaters, I'm actually considering it. At least this version has a voice actor for Mario who tries to sound like him, and the other voice actors are really good as well (except for Toad who doesn't sound at all like Toad. Though at the same time the voice does fit the character. Like if you take someone who doesn't know shit about Mario and show them this Toad with this voice, they'll find it fitting)

So overall, I'll wait until more info comes out to decide whether or not to watch it in theaters. One thing for sure, I'd much rather see it in french than english. And if I do go see it, it'll likely be with zero expectations so that at least I won't be disappointed.

#Super Mario #Mario movie #Mario movie spoilers #(I guess ???) #Flor talks #Video Games #Other Works #(yeah I don't have a 'movies' tag...) #am I writing this because Mario was a very huge part of my childhood and even today stills is a franchise I absolutely adore ? #so despite never making posts about it I still feel entitled to talk about it as if my opinion actually mattered to other people ? #yes; yes I do #also this is a weird case where I want to say a word about this movie but also doesn't want to have an actual conversation with someone #I just want to scream my opinion into the void #so Tumblr post it is !

Honestly... I fucking love the romance in TMA. It made me let my guard down, even though I knew I shouldn't. The tenderness of it made the horror more visceral. And the ending so much more heart-wrenching because despite the fact that these two people have changed so much since we met them - enough to love each other - they're ruined by the same human flaws they've had since the outset. That Jon's betrayal isn't a descent into madness; it's just the guilt-ridden control freak that he's been since the very first episode. The flawed human that we've all come to love.

It's not perfect, but I think it enacts a similar technique to what Phoebe Waller-Bridge describes in her work (particularly Fleabag). That she uses the comedy to get her audience's guard down so that when the drama comes crashing in, we bear the full weight of it. The romance made me a more vulnerable audience, and I think the open ending felt both more hopeful and more tragic than if we'd never been given that tenderness to begin with.

I think... if I'd gotten balls-to-the-wall full-send avatar Jon, or a total descent into madness, I would have felt spared.

I think that Hawks is super into alternative people.

Like I think he sees someone with a haircut that’s a little out there or piercings or full sleeves of tattoos or covered in chains and studs and it makes his brain buzz a little. He sees someone who isn’t afraid to go against “the norm” and he’s immediately drawn to them.

Because he’s the model hero. He’s always doing what’s right. Doing what’s expected of him. He’s charming and personable and everyone loves him, but it’s a show. It’s pomp and circumstance. The Commission molded him to be this way and he knows that, but it’s not like he can just stop now. He can’t go against their expectations for him.

However, he can and does pursue these people. He can’t help it. He’s fascinated by them. He wishes that he could do what they do. The most he can get away with is wearing some flashy jewelry every once in a while. He wants to feel the vibration of a tattoo gun on his bicep. He wants wants to wear something that’ll make people stop and stare and not just because he’s a famous hero.

He just wants to experience little doses of freedom and when he meets you, he feels like maybe he finally can.

#disclaimer #I think kei is into people of all backgrounds and aesthetics jsyk <3 #just a thought I had #also can we talk about how hot Hawks would look with black hair & tats & piercings #can we talk about that??? #also this is why he wants Dabi’s dick #in my opinion anyway lmao #do I have to tag this as dabihawks now #that should be good enough if people are filtering I think #ash screams into the void #bird boi <3

Now that Anubis's design has been shown in Record of Ragnarok I can say how much I hate this manga character's designs (●'◡'●)

I want to rip the heads of all the gods and humans who participate. Minus that purple/green Valkyrie girl because she is already suffering.

¨bu-but they hot--¨ SHUT UP AND LET ME RIP THEIR HEADS

The old samurai guy just saves himself for being old

For what it's worth, I think we should riot more

I think the us government forgets that the people it oppresses outnumber them and maybe we should remind them what outrage looks like

#a joke for legal reasons #in minecraft #and im not talking like sedition stuff in minecraft #i just think that the government is actively neglecting its most vunerable people and should be held accountable #the government has proven time and time again that it doesn't want to take peaceful protests and petitions seriously in minecraft #i want this country to do and be better #not *gestures to everything all the time* this #and im tired of bottling up my political fury #like yes i try to be a nice kind softboi all the time #but sometimes the anger bottle pops its fucking cork #and im tired!!!! of being mad at this fucking oligarchy wearing the flayed desiccated skin of a democracy!!!! #why should i pay taxes to a country thats more ok with sending “aide” to a country actively doing genocide #than it is with feeding and sheltering the starving and homeless??? #like hello?????!?!? #how dare kameron bambron have political opinions and scream them into the void #how fucking dare he #politics #political opinion

Johnny and V being romantic partners is excellent and honestly I do think that he should have been a romance option in the end, but I do also want to highlight the potential of a narrative arc where Johnny and V are still devoted to each other but just in a purely platonic sense.

Johnny in the 2010's and 2020's solely treats his relationships as tools to get him to his end goals. His romantic interests are a different matter, but Johnny proves many times throughout the game that doesn't do things out of platonic obligation. Even his 'friendship' with V in the beginning is, like many things in his life, a means to an end, but it's through their evolving relationship that Johnny starts to learn what unconditional support is. In the case of someone he's romantically involved with like Alt, we know what lengths Johnny will go to for someone he had sexual/romantic feelings for back when he was alive, but would he do the same thing for someone who he doesn't have a reason (be it romantic or personal) to save? I'm not sure he would back in the day, to be honest. The entire point of Johnny's character at the beginning is that he sees the world in the broadest strokes-- individual struggles sort of of fall to the wayside because in his eyes they aren't as important as the needs of the masses as a whole. The way I've always seen it, that's the real reason why the game doesn't have him as a romantic option. We've seen the lengths Johnny will go to for his romantic devotion, that doesn't change, and him learning to love someone is arguably not the focus of his character growth; Johnny learning to recognize individuality and care about other people regardless of his worldviews or personal motivation is, though, at least in my eyes, and him learning altruism through V is what makes that message hit as hard as it does.

Your mileage is going to vary on it a lot but just solely from my thoughts, the idea that Johnny wants to save V not because of any romantic feelings but simply because 'damnit, they're a person too and I am NOT letting them die if I can help it' is a powerful take on his arc and speaks more volumes to me about his development over the course of the game than if he and V were head over heels for each other by the time they reach Mikoshi.

#Aldi speaks #I cannot stress this enough that this is my opinion and YMMV on it. And that's fine. I know this isn't a universal view #Look I love SilverV. I love SilverV a lot. But I feel like I'm the only fem!V&Johnny platonic shipper out there in the wilds #And sometimes I just want to express my thoughts. #Because it often feels like I'm screaming into a void #Idk

SGE spoilers below, I have a lot more thoughts about this movie than I thought I would. TLDR; I liked some things but some rewriting choices I wasn’t a fan of and it should’ve been a show.

Note: I have recently just read the first two books and am working through the rest of the series.

The first change I really was not a fan of was the fact that no one in Gavaldon seemed to know about the school? That was literally the one thing I found really interesting in the first part of the book. Having the missing children appear in books? Incredible. Having the villagers worry who the next one will be? Awesome.

It also informs so much of Sophie’s character. Every ‘good’ thing she did was an effort to be put into the School for Good. So when she gets put in Evil it makes much more sense as to why she was so devastated. In the movie, I find it hard to believe that she would care that much about something she just learned about.

Everyone was great in their roles, they were clearly having fun imo. Sophie, Agatha, Dovey, and Lesso were all standouts.

The lack of Room 66 shenanigans was disappointing, I mean they were so much fun, I cannot believe they cut so much.

I was absolutely obsessed with all of Hort’s outfits.

I hated the Doom Room change, that was so important in showing Sophie’s evil (also the Golden Goose)

I still love the the wishing fish, they did that scene justice. Plus the killing of my boy Gregor was a gut punch for me.

I do not miss the F on the outfits. Sorry, I found that super dumb in the books.

More so not showing that Agatha was literally the reason Sophie didn’t fail was a sad change. 

What the hell was going on with the School Master? Like why was he just hanging out?

I miss the enemies to lovers of Tedros and Agatha. I thought their romance in the book was super rushed and thought that the movie could do better. While I appreciate that they did have some more development, it still felt hollow.

The nemesis stuff wasn’t treated like it was in the books. It was important and interesting, I wish they took more time with that.

Sophie and Tedros was non-existent, like that was the whole reason Sophie and Agatha had a falling out.

I appreciate the lack of flip flopping. The two schools constantly went from tolerating each other to hating each other. It was super annoying to me in the book so I’m glad that changed.

Circus of Talents. Need I say more?

Also not revealing the wolves and fairies? No Castor and Pollux? what.

The final battle actually was pretty cool, between the two schools and the Master. The cover of ‘Toxic’? Great choice no notes.

The outfits and designs were amazing, I’m kind of glad they got rid of the candy thing. 

Aren’t they not supposed to be able to use their magic in Gavaldon? Or did I read the first half of the second book incorrectly? 

I think that’s everything for me. Overall, I’m disappointed with how they handled Sophie and Agatha’s characters but it was still a fun time. I just wish it was a ten episode season.

I hope they get the sequel, the second book is so much fun.

It's interesting to stroll around Fanlore reading discussions that took place in 2007 talking about the fractured nature of fandom on LJ and people interacting without having enough context (as in commenting on a post they did not read by a user they do not know) when you're living in 2023 and people distribute likes without reading anything or commenting; when there's supposedly "drama" of unknown origins happening in more than one website at the same time because there's no real "home base" for fandom activity anymore; and we're all carrying on with our lives reblogging things without even looking at previous notes and reactions to that same post even if out of simple curiosity...

#what gets me is the lack of discussion. i don't expect anyone to approach things in a more ~intellectual manner no #but i guess i expect a little more than what i see. i'd *like* to see a little more. more than just personal unfounded opinion #idk i have the distinct feeling that we're all screaming into the void only louder and louder and louder #(you will never convince me that twitter is a good place for discussion because it just isn't. it wasn't made for that #it doesn't support it. its very quick structure is part of why so many people have long recognised it as toxic social media) #(it's talking over one another in fragments. if you agree on there all is peachy but if you don't then lol good luck) #anyway. again. i do know tumblr isn't exactly proper for any of this either; the dashboard isn't designed for it #but it's not like i can convince anyone to switch to a slower and more text/reflection-based platform either now can i #i think about migrating every day but then i'd REALLY be screaming into the void #silly blabbering #i'm allowing myself to post this on this blog because it isn't strictly WN related but also it is. i hate twitter fandom lol #(also if you're wondering yes i did read that one for the bakhtin. in this house we love and support bakhtinian studies) #(just in case my last little essay on wn didn't clue you in regarding that lol) #ALSO i love the fact that the post (the actual post. if you click the link and follow through to the original post. which you should) #links to another post that goes to another post (i love these link black holes) where the author voices things i feel too lol #about crafting extensive essays and the expectation regarding their response #i sometimes think that LJ fandom is what made me choose my degree #why am i seeing myself through someone else's words written in 2006 ksjdfhksdjjhksdgjsd #and yeah yeah we should respond to other people too -- but how when no one is writing the sort of thing you want to/can reply to? #i'm not interested in the colour of beatrice's knickers (not that anyone has talked of that... afaik... but you get what i mean)

I'm glad you think of us trying to bully you as a safe space <3

BUT I DO!!!!!!!!!

Bullying from anons warm and cozy, oh to be tormented by people who knows which buttons to press and use this knowledge specifically to make you flustered, happy, and feeling silly. what's not to like!!

But honestly tho, i almost mentioned in the other ask i got today about whether i'm okay with my blog becoming an ask blog like this, but then i didn't bc i thought it might be mean spirited, but now i'm right back on it-- is that one undeniable perk of the anon is that i actually check my dash far less now.

And while there will always be content i will miss seeing (especially information post about irl issues which i do think are important to be aware of, or good arts, or what people i like on here are up to), by god am i not missing reading negative petty fandom stuff.

Even things i agree with leave me with a major bad taste in my mouth because when it's all you see, it just ends up being like poison tainting everything else.

Being able to take a step back, mostly enjoying the things you enjoy, and having the negative stuff being something you discuss with yourself, is much more freeing at the end of the day.

So in the end just genuinely messing around, being silly, making fun HCs just because why the fuck not, is really so, so much more enjoyable to me.

Like, sure, i've been scarred beyond repair by some stuff shared here, but that's the price to pay -- but in the end since i'm having fun, what's not to like yaknow?

so like, i actually genuinely appreciate the anons, they do stop me from doomscrolling and spiraling on most day because everytime it pulls me back into some comfort zone, even if it's to terrorize me in it. Sometimes it can take a bit for me to go back to the headspace needed to answer the anons -- but i take that, everyday, over just reading negative stuff that just ends up leave me spiraling alone with my thoughts yaknow?

So, actually, thanks y'all for deciding to terrorize my inbox -- this is, without a doubt, the best thing that ever happened to me 💞💞

#ichareply #ichasalty #anonymous #like the one key thing about it is that the person i was reading was a hater in ways i'm also a hater on some stuff #(+ a hater of something i actually like but in a way i understood but therefore made it worse) #so like. i was AGREEING with some it. or at least understanding the angle. the opinion was super insightful. also super depressing. #reading 2 years worth of someone's negative opinions on something that has goods and bads but therefore so much focus on the bads #it just... just leaves such a 'whats the point! what's the point!!' in my head that is so horrible #like. something something but i think socmed being so much about screaming into the void and all #means that thoughts lingers and echos without actually a place to resolve them #and you're left alone with them and overwhelmed as they accumulate #which will always be different from asks and discussions which are actually a back and forth yaknow? #and it's different to be part of the conversation than just reading after the fact #at the end of the day it's my bad for doomscrolling. i may not be smart. #but it's so easy to get caught into it especially when you agree because you want to hear more about this angle in particular #and before you know you went too deep and it's like ah. how do i get back to the surface again now. #it's good to address flaws in what you like... but i also think there's ways where it can become damaging especially when it's passively #ANYWAY IM JUST RAMBLING BUT AAAAAAARGHHHHHH #I LOVE YOU ALL THE ANONS IN MY ASKS.

This post has no purpose, I'm literally just screaming into the void, feel free to ignore me, but I do not like Hiccup with a beard, lmao. This gets ungodly long, so if you want to see my full opinion, it's under the cut, but TLDR; I do not like Hiccup with a full beard, but anything else is fair game for some reason, and if you like Hiccup with a beard, all the more power to you.

I don't know why, I don't know how, I just don't like him with a beard. Like, I cannot watch that ending scene of The Hidden World where he reunites with Toothless not for any significant or understandable reason other than I don't like Hiccup with a beard. It's the dumbest reason ever for not being able to get through a scene, but I do not like him with a beard, lmao. I am aware of how dumb my dislike of Hiccup with a beard is, XD. I'm talking full beard, btw, anything else is fine, there's actually certain Hiccup designs that have stubble/beard-esque thing that I really adore. The full beard I do not like, anything else is fair game for some unknown, ungodly reason, XD.

Listen, if you like him with a beard or don't really care either way, good. Brilliant. Fantastic. You do you/gen. I just don't like him with a beard PERSONALLY. I CANNOT EMPHASISE THIS ENOUGH, I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE HIM WITH A BEARD - BUT IF YOU DO, HONESTLY, MORE POWER TO YOU.

I'm being overly cautious in regard to making it incredibly clear this is just a silly little opinion of mine that holds no weight or value in the grand scheme of things, but I don't wanna take any chances on the internet.

Also, side note, I may not like him with a full beard, but I can see him rocking a salt-and-pepper-esque look with a bit of stubble or like, minimal beard (Kinda like @bignostalgias' White Winter Hymnal look for Hiccup, actually. I really like that design, tbh).

Listen, I'm just here to scream into the void, and if you got this far... thank you for listening to my dumb little rants on the most inconsequential thing ever?

Also, little thing I just remembered to add, fanart generally doesn't really apply to this?? I think it might specifcally have something to do with how the movie animates/textures the beard?? Idk, I just know, generally speaking, I'm more chill in regards to bearded Hiccup in fanart than canonical bearded Hiccup, lmao.

#httyd #hiccup horrendous haddock lll #hiccup horrendous haddock iii #listen as i said if you like hiccup with a beard go for it #live your best damn life #draw him with that beautiful beard #make gifs of him with that beautiful beard #do whatever you want #don't let some random ass stranger on the internet dictate what you do and do not like #i just wanted to scream into the void about my opinion on hiccup with a beard XD #i cannot emphasise this enough if you like hiccup with a beard GOOD #GO FORTH AND LOVE HIM WITH THAT BEARD #JUST BECAUSE ONE SINGULAR PERSON DOES NOT LIKE HIM WITH A BEARD #DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANNOT LIKE HIM WITH A BEARD #we cool? cool

Hey lovelies. I know this recap is late-- I am having a habit of falling asleep a the end of the day now, new meds may be contributing to it, so please accept this Love Note as a start to the new day!

Everybody is trying very hard to keep each other afloat right now. We're all staying active in one way or another, whether that's sending lovely letters, or engaging in fandom fun and discourse. Sometimes it's not always fun though. We all get frustrated, we all repeat ourselves, and we all struggle with those things. Sometimes we say things we don't mean, or we say things that people misconstrue, and miscommunication can be rampant.

Just remember that we all make mistakes, and we're all human.

Take a step back.

Take a moment to breathe, go for a walk, go for food, or water, or go scream into the void.

We're all crew, and we do all care about each other even if we don't necessarily agree on things the fandom. We all have our own lives going on and outside factors that make the day to day harder, and we all need to give ourselves some grace for that too. Sometimes emotions get high and taking a step back can help, I know I've needed it lately. @areyoudoingthis reminded me of this yesterday and it really helped me feel more grounded. My brain gets overstimulated sometimes, and it's hard to break away from the thing that's overstimulating it, it's like it wants to keep going and deal with whatever is bothering it.

Just a gentle reminder that you are allowed to detach for a while. You're allowed to take a break. You're allowed to have your opinions, and your concerns, and your frustrations. You are human, and we are all so very flawed, but that's what makes us beautiful. Try not to beat yourselves up for being human.

Take a break, lean on a friend, verbally vomit frustrations into the voice or into a Safe Space Ship. Do what you need to do to get you through the day ok? We all want that. We all want YOU to be okay. If you step away, we'll be here when you get back because we love you crew. Don't forget that, even when tensions are high, we care about what happens to you, and we love you. You deserve grace too.

God of War Take

This is completely unimportant but I simply must vent into the void.

... I hate Kratos x Freya so much, and if you do ship it I don't hate you or think its immoral or whatever. (ship away in peace no hate to you) This is solely because when I rack my brain for good relationships between men and women in video games I struggle to find a single one that is platonic and shown on screen regularly. I want to see more of those, I think its really valuable and good writing to include that kind of a relationship in media!!!!

Also... Kratos and Freya just don't work, Kratos killed her son y'all, I don't care if their friends now, that's the kind of barrier that I don't think one just gets over. It would feel like messy writing to put them together, like, why??? Freya's arc just concluded with her healing from her abusive ex-husband and Kratos is still missing Faye and very much so NOT over her. Again ship away, but personally - dislike it so much. I realize I'm being negative but I just have opinions I felt like screaming into the void.

Anyways ship Atreus and Angrboda, they're cute.
