#Locked Budget

[taxinealkaloids]

girls will literally turn their parents’ corpses into meat puppets to prevent the House of their birthright from being annexed by other powers 

#my art #tlt #the locked tomb #harrowhark nonegesimus #the corpse puppets were actually the reason I instantly became obsessed with her #also i'm nearly certain people on the ninth realized p&p weren't right. as ortus said harrow isnt the only one who can add 2 and 2 and #get four!! like those guys were dead. they were for sure dead. and everyone just kinda agreed they'd pretend not to notice. #picturing some nuns sitting around like ....ok so we all know they're dead right? we know they're dead? #and the other ones are like yeah but shhhh #yes the 10 yr old is doing the budgeting now. just ignore it. #also tumblr decided to absolutely chow down on the quality of the first pic so uh it just looks like that now. crispy.

One of my personal internal conspiracy theories is that big budget special effects movies and streaming series with like hundreds of millions or billions of dollars sunk into them are some kind of very open embezzlement schemes.

Even the best paid actors and directors and such can't explain the budget. The money certainly isn't on the screen when it comes to anything from costumes to cinematography to visual effects or editing. It's openly known all the jobs that contribute to "making the pictures look good" are getting their parts of the budget slashed. The Avengers Infinity Wars movies have got $300M price tags and they do NOT look like it. Rings of Power cost like $700M and literally used off the shelf craft store fabric for armor. They dump cheap CGI in because there's no union to keep the pricing fair and shoot everything on green screen so there's no travel and where is the money going?

But for example if you're a producer you also get paid, and all I can think about is how producers with business degrees are deciding on how the budget should be used on these huge shows with country sized price tags and if the budget isn't going into anything or anyone involved in the actual work of the movie, but the guy who thinks the movie needs to cost less and be a business product also thinks he has the most important job and he gets to decide where the money goes? Are these guys just like "okay, our salary will be $299M and the rest goes to the production itself."

I know I'm missing things, but I've seen hundreds of movies that look gorgeous and beautiful and have amazing effects and camerawork and they're all a tenth of the big budget shows and movies, or less, so where is the other 90+% of the money going? It's VISIBLY NOT PRESENT IN THE FINISHED PRODUCT. Who has it?

Someone already went into the technical details in the reblogs.

#idk this is conspiracy thinking #just obsesses me #they look cheap because they are cheap yet the budgets are huge #this one got locked bc some nice people went into detail and helped #and then the rings of powar fandom decided to start using it for harassment

Padme literally had more training to rule at age 14 than Dooku did running Serenno at age 60 and I genuinely believe the only reason he wasn’t immediately deposed was because Jenza was just so happy to have her only non-psychopath family member back (...an opinion that would age like milk) that she secretly fixed a lot of his early calamitous floundering behind his back.

#the planetary budget is stalled for weeks because the new Count locked himself out of his Quickbooks account #Dooku: (failing utterly) I did it :) #Jenza: haha yeah kind of :) #count dooku #serenno #star wars meta #jenza #padme amidala

listening to the harrow the ninth audiobook AKA plotting out the entire animated series in my head in excruciating detail

#sometimes its live action with a huge massive budget depending on what feels more emotionally satisfying to me #anyway cant wait for pt2 of the season 2 two part premiere titled ‘is this how it happens?’ #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth

"I pray the tomb is shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away. I pray that which was buried remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest, with closed eye and stilled brain."

maybe weird thought that just hit me; a locked tomb AU set in the Disco Elysium world could actually work... kinda awesomely? IDK, the vibes just somehow align in a way that *works* in by brain. Can 1000% imagine Harrow latching onto Dolores Dei as her 'alecto' in it like crazy. Gideon as some shipping dock worker. The Second just *reek* of that pathetic cop energy that try to come into Martinaise and be 'The Law' and fail spectacularly. Just... so many things lining up perfectly in my head. Plus as someone who normally viscerally dislikes modern AUs I think it could actually work pretty well as a modern-adjacent locked tomb AU. That kinda 'almost modern, almost our world... but not quite' energy that preserves the weirdness of tlt.

#tlt #the locked tomb #disco elysium #Totally imagine Harrow and Gideon as being from the run down fishing village and Harrow is just this gremlin that constantly sneaks off to #the abandoned church to prostrate before the stain glass window of Dolores. #Gideon going off to work at the Union maybe as the equivalent of Titus Hardie? #The Sixth and maybe Fifth just being backyard scientists with FAR too little budget trying to study the nature of the Pale #Maybe the Third fill in as the AU's negotiators from Wild Pines? #Corona being the actual negotiator and Babs being there to SEEM like he's the muscle protecting her... but really it's Ianthe who is some #sorta crazy assassin or something idk #IT ALL JUST WORKS SO WELL IN MY HEADDDD

oh no

i think i'm going to have to replace my phone soon.

i mean, it has been a full five years but--

ugh.... well, it's good that it's dying on me now and not later on while i'm in the middle of my trip asd;kfj;alwkagjk so i'll take this as a blessing in disguise, i guess. 🫠🫠🫠

#but oh god money. got to see if i can budget around a new phone right now or #if i'm gonna have to lock myself into a more expensive 2 year payment plan 💀💀💀 #shu ramblings

I swear to God... this fucking scene.

#hogwarts legacy #sebastian sallow #hogwarts legacy mc #sebastian sallow x mc #not ansel today but holy fuck #the entire animation budget is in this scene #this is the face of a person who's willing to sacrifice all their values for that one smile #the tragedy of it all #oc: martin locke

well maybe the office closing midway through fridays is kind of a slay. already solved one major life logistics issue and finished up an art thing and it’s still breathable outside for now so i can go to the park and read?

#text tag #my mom’s surprise birthday party IS happening DESPITE the fact that i have no budget for anything fancy and my brother will not help #actually v excited bc she loves ice cream cake and our local ice cream chain sensation does fancy ice cream cakes >:) #and i’m going to make a big poster that is a ‘card’ that everyone will sign >:)) #this is not until DECEMBER but i need details locked down on things early or i will explode

Every time I log into Netflix, because it knows what I like, the second or third row is a line of fantasy/scifi/horror shows that I already watched and loved and that they've already canceled and also Wednesday and Sabrina.

How do they think this is engaging me and not stabbing me with tiny daggers 100 times before I switch to crunchyroll?

#RIP my beloved shows shot in Canada on a shoe-string budget #I have a weird grudge against Wednesday and refuse to watch it because A. It shouldn't exist and #B. It got so heavily promoted when none of those other shows got a single banner ad #Netflix #RIP October Faction you were better than Lock and Key #And 100 others #post o' mine

has anyone ever seen an otome game yandere characters who aren’t either 1) the weird quiet guy who makes it obvious somethings up or 2) the outgoing friendly childhood friend who you’d least expect. I’m partial to the latter because i love surprise (the first otome game i ever finished was the very infamous Amnesia: Memories) but im like curious about the possibilities. whats the flirty archetype look like with some yandere sprinkled upon it. what about the oresama. the sweet and quiet one could be good for a twist

*carefully places handsome anime boys under a microscope and drops mysterious chemicals on them to see how they behave*

#yknow once when i was younger i had the idea for an otome game who's working title was 'oops! all yanderes' #because i thought the idea of trying to make a horror otome where all the classic archetypes are there but they're all secretly gonna #lock u in a cage very funny hjkfdslakjsd #never did because im lazy but i still think its a little funny #otome games are a fascinating medium............................... #technically they can be like anything but because of the history of them and various influences there are certain tropes and archetypes #that stick around in a lot of games especially bigger budget ones

Had a Barbie Moment [realising how beautiful life is while sitting on a public bench]

#i'm going to document my lifes' findings #all those years i was denied this kind of freedom and i want to share it! because it makes me happy! #and i want to prove to people that happiness and living after being essentially locked away from society is in fact possible. #don't get me wrong it's hard. it hurts. it's scary. #but it's also beautiful and fun and so worth it. #i'm not talking about all that grand shit either. i'm talking about just sitting on a bench and feeding birds part of your sandwich. #picking out your own clothes that suit YOUR tastes [and budget] #even the silly tiny things like signing your returns reciept because something was too small. #i feel so much more important now and i deserve to talk about it regardless of whether people care or not. i care. #and i am so much happier- of course it has to be seen to be believed. but i am. #certainly more than i was at the start of the year. certainly more than i was last year. #the glamour might wear off but right now i'm just going to go around cautiously yet with a remarkable optimistic whimsy. #because yay!!! existence!!!!! being alive!!!! going outside!!!!!!!!! fuck you who said i couldn't!!!!!!!!!!!!! #🗨🐸

Sometimes I just wanna scream ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ at my bosses

#me six months ago: ‘we need a lock on the unit’ #them: sorry that doesn’t fit in the budget ❤️ #some random dude whose been living in the unit at night when we aren’t around: sounds good to me >:) #I wish this was a joke but it wasn’t #we’ve been finding traces around the place for a few weeks #TODAY WE FOUND HIM ASLEEP IN HIS UNDERWEAR IN ONE OF THE BEDS #if the higher ups don’t put a damn lock on the unit I’m legit going to quit at this point #Mooky talks

Outer Worlds 2 is evidently not in Halcyon and not about the Unreliable crew, so…hm.

#the outer worlds #literally this is all we know about it so far #that and it’s not on PS #kind of like it if only because it means we’re not getting locked into one ending or another #they could’ve always taken the mass effect/dragon age approach though #created a main plot that could happen with or without the board in power #and then the side quests and character stuff change based on past choices #but it’s probably a lot easier on the budget to just make a new solar system and not have to write five different stories
