Based on a discussion on the Balcony Seats Discord server, partly fueled by my Salieri complex (it's mostly directed at one person, but there are definitely other people in the social media circles who need to see this.

In my opinion, any sound you can think of is technically music, from a stick hitting a piece of wood to the grandest symphony in the universe.

#raya makes memes #classical music #classical music memes #tonal music #atonal music #i have reasons to love both! #music is not just about melodies and shit #music is music. period. #i want to post it on reddit but r/classicalmemes but it's private now 😭

countdown to 2024 - artists edition

Okay but like four is too few of a number to shout out but I'll still try my best! @choicesfandomappreciation

@cassie-thorne: Max's art is literally the best and I love her work so much! She puts out bangers after bangers and I absolutely loved watching her style evolve and grow this year and I'm looking forward to seeing it next year too! I especially absolutely love how Max tackles lighting and backgrounds in her work, like it's so unique and each piece tells its own story too. Some of my favourites: The Barbie Premier, Aislinn!, be gay solve crimes, themm and Cameron x Astrid

@fairymatchmaker : Joy's art is actually a masterpiece, like this is not just your everyday artist sorcery-shenaniganing, this is like the chad version. I absolutely love love love how they draw outfits and poses, like their attention to the small things is just insane. Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and being around in the fandom! Here are some of my favs: Waiting for Trystan , the Crimes MCs and F!Trystan's fits

@mydemonsdrivealimo: MJ's stuff exhuberates this 'cool' energy, like my guy, you could actually design those energy drink logos or comic book covers because each piece is just SO FUN, okay? I'm def looking forward to how it'll be in 2024. (tattoo-shop au when??) Some of my favs: Jensen in weird lil tees, THE PIRATE AU, jenseeennnnn and virtually everything (I'm especially a fan of MJ's little doodles like this and the cutest thing ever)

@hydn-jpg: I love Hayden's work partially because each piece of art has its own fanbase (as it should). Last year I got a giveaway piece from them and it is still something I look back frequently because it's just so goddamn beautiful. Some of my favourites from them: just follow my lead, this adorable pick-up line, literally everything they'd created for the expression-memes this year, long time no see partner and okay, technically this is cheating but this is a piece from 2022, but this portrait of artura is just i'mma cry okay?

@oh-so-youre-a-nerd: Thia's work is nothing short of frightening (affectionate) witchcraft and I mean this in the most sincere way possible lmaoo. I still have a lot of their stuff to explore, stalk and fan over, but their Raine artwork is just S-tier for me, like look at THESE THINGS: The villain arc, head empty still thinking about this, Trystan in a flowy lil dress and ofc their entire Raine x Aerin stuff because that's either the most depressing, poetic thing ever or a massive serotonin boost. I hope to see more of your stuff on my dash next year <33

@erixafleur: I came across Erica's work after lurking in the Blades side of the fandom and I loved their MC Raya's redesign so much! Plus I loved the art style too because it gives me Disney animation vibes. I hope to explore your work even more next year! Some of my favs include: This vanity fair-themed art and oh my god their eyes, it def gives 'i'm so judging you' and I'm here for it XD , the cutest owlbear sketch EVER and this piece of Raya & Tyril

@rosefuckinggenius: Rose's been a consistent force in the Choices fandom and I absolutely live for their work, okay? And I'm not just saying because I received this UNIT of an art piece from them for Trys and Nora - like I'm still in just awe. I'm also such a fan of the fact that their work is just really soft (if I can describe it that way) to look at - like I'm a sucker for soft colour palettes, okay? My favs include: this Beelzebub piece (not Choices but yknow what how about i put it in here anyway?) and this piece for @jerzwriter featuring Eli's family .

***

And like a huge shoutout to basically all artists in the fandom! You guys have actually inspired me to like not go down several rabbit-holes trying to find faceclaims and moodboards and instead, try to make some of my own art and see where it goes! It is so fun! Thank you for being super inspirational, kind, understanding and just pure awesome and I hope 2024 is just as kind and gentle to you guys <33 Much love and cheers!

#choices fandom appreciation #countdown to 2024 #also tumblr is being really weird with tagging and hyperlinks so if something isn't working please let me know

I decided to give this art meme a go. The one where you draw a character as close to their canon art style as you possibly can, and then draw them in your own art style, and/or with your own headcanons involved. In a shocking twist I picked Raya to do this with. I just felt like she'd be a fun challenge. Plus I've just been thinking about Raya a lot lately. Her hair is... a thing to draw. My god I feel bad for the people who animated her.

I learned a couple things by doing this, one, I find the Jem art style very hard to copy. So this is like, a half-screenshot redraw. And two, Raya has no eyelid creases. I never noticed that before studying her face.

[rrrecklessabandon]

practically I don't like to talk about professional ish thing outside work, I don't wanna share sql memes or offer trainings through my social media, I don't if it's a good thing or not, but I always think that the true player and the smartest one usually just being quite and never showed up.

Kemarin dan hari ini gue mengkepoi 2 orang yang cukup berbeda, not intentionally tapi I found them randomly dan jiwa spy ku meronta ronta. Aku suka melakukan hal hal seperti ini sebenernya buat semakin tau diriku seperti apa, jadi fokusnya lebih ke akunya sendiri, bukan orang yang aku kepoin.

Pertama, ada istrinya enrico drummernya lomba sihir, orangnya cakep abiiiisssss dan pertama kali gw liat dia di ig nya enrico akunnya privat jadi gw gatau orang ini gimana. Tapi kaya auranya beda aja dan gw penasaran. Gw awalnya mengira ya just typical mbak mbak jaksel cakep wangi dan kaya raya dengan gaya hidup yang sedikit party dan hepi hepi. Tapi kmrn gw menemukan akunnya udah gak di gemboookkk aaakkk. Dan gw kaget bet karena dia lulusan S2 university of new yorkkk terus jurusannya teknik teknikan gilak. Tapi lu tauuu feednya ig nya jarang banget yang nunjukin skill paling ada ya foto graduation aja, padahal gw yakin yang dia pelajarin pasti susah, ibarat lu lah orang yang sebenar benarnya punya hak untuk fleksing. Nah yang kaya gini gini nih yang gw suka, pemain ga berisikkkk. Pokoknya mba zahra humaira I secretly admiring you. Gw suka personality yang kaya begini, cewe2 STEM yang pinter tapi ga pernah bawa bawa dunia stemnya yang keren ituh dalam kehidupan sehari hari, waktunya kerja ya kerja, waktu parti ya parti, kan gak seru masa party ngomongin median dan accuracy. Makin pinter orang biasanya makin ngerasa banyak hal yang gak dia tau, makanya nggak sering fleksing.

Kedua, hari ini gw mengkepoi seorang yang baru switching ke dunia data analyst, mungkin baru 3 tahunan. Tapi twitnya udah yang kaya belajar statistik bertahun tahun macem "bahkan di dunia kerja aja masih banyak yang gak tau median itu buat apa", ya emang suka suka dia sih mau nge tweet apa, tapi poinnya adalah, orang yang baru belajar ilmu biasanya suka berasa paling ngerti, wajar karena dia belum tau bahwa ada banyak hal yang dia belum tau, karena merasa paling ngerti, maka dia akan mudah komentar, judging, dan begitulah you name it. Mungkin orang ini memang beneran pinter, terbukti dari dia jadi mentor dan kerja di perusahaan yang bagus, tapi feels of excitement nya masih berasa banget kaya orang lagi kasmaran sama ilmu baru. Personally gw gasuka orang begini.

Jujur gue dulu juga pas awal awal belajar hal baru gini, bawaannya kayak wah banget, tapi gw selalu melihat keatas kaya cewe cewe keren tadi kayak mbak zahra tadi, crystal widjaja, dian rosanti yang sudah melanglang buana abroad and beyond, mau sombong tuh apa yang mau tak sombingin, yang ada malu sendiri. Sekarang mah fokusnya terus belajar terus penasaran aja.

This is old but it’s a bunch of vocal synths rapping to a Miitopia song

Disclaimer I am not from Miami

Lyrics:

Ame It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a triple whammy! The rap goddess is here and her name is Ame. Swimming in Miami, the East Coast is my alley Come on let’s share some candy! Be my mon amie!

Haku I’m Haku and I’ll be your friend forever! Let’s go on adventures in all sorts of weather. Perform feats of wonder and music endeavors. I’m brave by myself, but we’re braver together!

Miku You can call me Miku, Miku, oo-ee-oo I’m the number one princess, I’m telling you! Other divas have nothing on me, it’s true! But I still wanted nothing more than to see you!

Teto Come right up here and take a Despacito My name is Teto, and it’s not pronounced Tito! Come and eat some Cheetos, be my koibito! Roll up in a blanket like a burrito!

Joy Happiness! Bliss! Delight! I’m Joy! Always looking for fun things to enjoy. Music to dance to, friends to annoy I bounce and I sound like a squeaky toy

Uta What was the name of the flower you saw? Sorry to be mysterious, I’m just Uta. Not from Arkansas, not from Utah I use a machine gun, not a chainsaw.

Momo I’m the master of speed, for me this is slow-mo Everything’s peachy! It’s your girl Momo We’ll always live on, even if they say YOLO I kinda like Teto, and I mean that homo

Rie Winter is cold. Summer is hot. I am Rie. Denny’s parking spot. You liked my poem. Or perhaps you did not. Beanie Babies 8 assorted random bears lot.

Taya The flower I saw was a bunga raya, I’m dressed to the nines and my name is Taya! My trademark isn’t jambalaya I like strawberries along with papayas!

Ritsu Step right up and get ready for some Ritsu I may be small but don’t call me a shitzu! Call me a shitzu and I may just yeet you. Otherwise, it’s nice to meet you!

Ruko Better look up now, ‘cause I’m six foot five! My name is Ruko, I’m broadcasting live! The party doesn’t start until I arrive Now get me some coffee and then I will thrive!

Rhona Swimming up to the surface, I’m bona fide My name is Rhona. I like the tide. Through deep blue oceans I like to glide The waves in the sea are my personal ride

Nagisa I’m up on the moon and I ain’t even from NASA This bright star’s name is none other than Nagisa Come to mi casa, kick back and have pasta Whimsica Saga is awesome sauca!

Luana Yo ho ho and a can of Pepsi Who lives like a daredevil sailing the sea? Luana’s my name, you won’t forget me I’m not super fancy but I like me some tea.

Koto It may not be a plane, but if it’s a bird I’m here! My name is Koto, bird-watcher supreme! They tell me “be quiet,” but I like to scream! You shouldn’t let your memes be dreams!

pick a few mutuals and say what you associate with them ✨

oooh okay, this is fun!! (p.s i really don't want anyone to feel left out so if i don't mention you please know as a beloved mutual you are forever and always in my heart)

@mygirlnesmith - of course i need to start with jo!! there are so many things i associate with jo (like being so fucking clever and funny and kind), but the strongest are that 1. our overlap of experiences and informative media/moments is pure insanity (like seriously it is sometimes scary 😱). so they are for real just my missing triplet, or my soulmate if you will. 2. CEO of girl micky monday and Co-President/Founder of the princess gwen fanclub/cult. what a fucking insane claim to fame 💖✌️😔. (we both have a strong bond over our love of girl micky and coco dolenz 😔🤝😔). and 3. they are the most critical of all mike critical people out there. they should be allowed to go back in time and conduct a fully immersive case study on michael nesmith. (also jo was the reason i even broke out of my shell in this fandom, so i am forever grateful to them for being a good friend to me 💖💖💖)

@reignoerme - the creator of the modern au!!! reign is so, so, so creative and so funny 💖💖!!! (no seriously, she sent me this fucking hilarious video she made and i was screaming). i mainly associate her with being too nice for her own good >:(( (no seriously. reign is an angel. she is the irl embodiment of the looks like a cinnamon roll and is a cinnamon roll meme). she is also the president of the peter tork defense squad 💪 , and most importantly i associate her with the insane, big brain 🧠 , huge amazing au ideas she is constantly churning out! OH FUCK i can't forget her incredible modern au fashion boards, she KILLS those every time ✨✨✨!! all of our little discussions have been so, so fun and i love talking with you man 💖🙏🥹

@vintagecocacolainthesun - can't not mention raya!!! the queen of monkees dreams herself 👑, the psyche that keeps on giving, the asker of the most unhinged (but fun) questions! so obviously raya to me is the teller of dreams, but also a very creative, very engaging friend that is so kind to so many people on this platform 💖🙏😔.

@jathis - the creator of the doppel-gang!!! jathis is the fastest fic writer in all the land 🏃‍♂️💨(no seriously, how do you even do it man???). when i think of them i think of all the great fics they write and how much they go out of their way to engage and enrich other au's/ideas/headcannons in the monkees fandom! they always have something great to add and are so, so, so generous with their time and creativity! ALSO another member of the peter tork defense squad 💪

@birdie-hop -BIG BRAIN!!!! HUGE GALAXY BRAIN 🧠 !!! i've said it once, but i'll say it again, god works fast but birdie works fucking faster. their edits are INSANE. their comedic timing is INSANE. fucking what a super power dude. ALSO their head analysis is always soooooooooooo ✨✨✨💅immaculate

#haha sorry this might be a bit cringe to read guys. but i am very sincere and i appreciate you all so much!! #and again i really don't want anyone to feel left out. that is such a huge fear/pet peeve of mine #so please know if i didn't mention you. as a beloved mutual you still mean so much to me!!!

HC: Memes that get thrown into “The Group Chat” where I’m sure there’s a few circles of friends that have them in the tighter nit circles that hang. But Valerie has gone ahead and thrown GoGo into the “The Group Chat” since she there for the whole werewolf turning and even the birth of the trips. It’s mostly a bullshitting chat where the family can be open unlike how they might post publicly. Everyone’s in it. Like everyone who bothered to hit accept. Delta, Frank, Maddy, Bastien, Clopin’s Fam, Piper, The Laveaus, Team Savanne. Elsa, Koda, Chess. All the main people who Laveau congregate. Nothing really gets said in it. Sometimes people shoot off group invites to things or jokes just shit talk. It’s not really where you go to pour your guts out in front of everyone or anything. Never been confrontational, just a shit chat where they can be themselves. GoGo’s eyes will get flooded with a scroll back of memes like this once she’s in. 

 the jesus cat was posted just before Easter by Chip and then Dale in subsequent conversation calling him coward for waiting till he was dead that would get hilarious with references to the gravestones out there in Kuzpin Island wondering if he needs one too

Bastien obvi posted the Medusa one and would have been giggling for awhile behind his phone while an entire other conversation was going on in another chat room with his stoner friends only that was all over the place with how to get away with hanging with Medusa now they understood their superpower. 

Piper would post the Mandalorian meme unable to not compare it to Pierre and Thomas where Thomas is Mando and Valerie and her are laughing it up in there. Piper may still have some unresolved issues. She getting ‘em out. Meanwhile Dale silent reads on the side wondering where he weighs in on this scale of man judging because he’s still feeling a bit rascally over this guy with a Lord moniker and prowrestler pecs that managed to stay in the circle. 

Ray would have posted the signs all excited. LOOK our camp signs are a meme. Part of our old camp lives on. 

Delta sent the Patrick meme. Self explanatory. 

Kuzco posts the Prince quotes because he’s all about dat. followed by a live vid of him just rocking out in the middle of a platform on his guitar pool because that’s Kuzco’s MO, just randomly throws grooves out at any moment into the chat for any reason

Raya would post The Moon Made Me Do It and she’ll post it every full moon to carry on the tradition that was there before by Brigitte when she was in the group. If she was unable the other girls help her.

Last Line Meme

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words in the line.

Got tagged by @ofstormsandfire, and my current WIP is the weirdest crossover I've ever written (Elden Ring x RWBY). I'm currently working on its final chapter, when we already have a new Elden Lord but there are still a few important things to take care of...

"Torrent, take this man to Raya Lucaria."

Who's being sent to Raya Lucaria? Why is Torrent's usual rider not going with him? If you've been reading so far, you may be able to take some guesses.

I don't really know a ton of writers on here besides the one who just tagged me to begin with, but anyone who has a WIP they'd like to share can go for it.

[dizzybevvie]

Politely asks if you have any OCs, and if you want to show off their designs or ramble about them if so?

Hello anon i am about to present to you some of the most boring motherfuckers youve ever laid your eyes on.

OK SO.

In late january 2 years ago, me and my good friend Raya (@ randomstuffifindinteresting) were makin stupid unfunny jokes about the stereotype of the hypermasculine homophobic dudes with so much internalised homophobia. Thus, Chad, Brad and Jake were born.

I dont draw them seriously very often, its mostly meme redraws, but theyre very basic looking people and dont have a hell of a lot going on with their outfits anyway. you can see a majority of the memes and stuff at (@oh-em-gee-oh-sees) but theyre a little old.

[Chad, Brad, Jake(theres no yellow); and their good friends Vivere and Mori]

So Brad is kind of the favourite because both me and Raya want to smooch him LMAO. Hes 6'1, a lil chubby, got big ol tits and one of them big ol curved noses. Personality wise, he's more reserved than anyone else in the group and likes to listen more than he likes to contribute. He doesn't feel like he has many hobbies or interests because he just moves through life. He likes to be an observer. He is BIG into music though. I guess you could say its his special interest, but he certainly doesn't know that. He particularly likes women's pop music kind of as a comfort thing? Growing up, it was just him and his mom so he finds it calming. He doesn't bring it up very often though. Whenever he's zoned out at the kitchen counters you can imagine he's thinking about it. He also likes baking, but he doesnt do it enough to consider it a hobby.He's also pretty sensitive but struggles to be emotionally available. His love language is acts of service and quality time. He's for sure autistic but I dont know if he knows that lmao. He likes bracelets, especially beaded ones with coloured string inbetween because he likes to pick at them during the day. He has some weird aunts and uncles that pop up time to time, usually with no idea that he cut off the rest of his family for reasons I won't get into. They're all eccentric, but they're all very sweet.

Chad is Brad's husband and possibly the only functioning member of the group. Hes the only one who can carry a conversation outside of them, be it a starbucks employee or their upstairs neighbours. But hes also fuckin angry all of the time. It doesnt take a lot of teasing to piss him off and when he does he gets this very slight southern accent on some of his words, which only insights more teasing. Mostly from Jake. He fucking HATES Jake (affectionate). He is actively working on it though, and he has gotten a better at controlling it. He's banned from the kitchen and has been since about a month after the three dudes moved into their apartment. Safe to say, Brad does most of the cooking. Chad's definitely the strongest of the group, which is absolutely definitely not overcompensation for his height and how inferior it makes him feel. Like, realistically he knows its stupid to be that hung up on it, and no one actually cares, but his parents were VERY strong on gender roles and it stuck with him. If his dad, who would take him outside to chop wood and thats it found out he grew up to be 5'4? Chad doesn't like to think about it. His parents do know though. They're the only ones in contact with any of them, and noone is thrilled about it. Every six months or so, they'll travel up north to see their son and ask him all the typical questions. Do you have a girlfriend, whenre you getting married, etc. Not out of ignorance either, they know he's married and they often do it while his husband is in the room. His dad will often make snide remarks about his physicality disguised as jokes, too. And although Chad gets furious at them every single time, he's the best at not blowing up when its them. He'll squeeze Brad's hand whenever something happens, but thats about it. Until they leave and he has to lay down from how exhausted he is. He only lets them stay because a part of him wants to believe they'll accept him. And they dont even know about Jake. He goes to stay at the girl's apartment while theyre over. Chad's discomfort in femininity certainly doesn't last long, though, because he's the type of person who runs STRAIGHT at what he's afraid of swinging wildly. He started wearing dresses and such, and a few weeks later started doing small-scale performances in restaurants and local theaters, for which Vivere was the ultimate hypeman. He probably wouldn't wear a dress without an occasion, but hes comfortable enough to do so now.

Jake is a fucking. loudmouth. Everythings a game to him. He likes to poke at people (metaphorically and literally) to see where the limit is. Whats frustrating too is that hes good at it. He's good at finding where the limits are, what not to say, what exactly to say thatll push your buttons but not in a way thatll actually upset you. He likes to be annoying as possible. This goes hand in hand with his avid use of sex jokes. All the time. He's a big fan of the kind of comedy where you take a joke thst isnt funny to begin with, and then run it into the ground until its dead and gone. He especially likes to tease Chad because hes the most reactive,and he finds the southern accent fucking hilarious. He's your typical blonde-guy-with-mullet - He likes to drink energy drinks until his chest hurts. He vapes, which everyone else hates (except Brad, who only really has an opinion on it because Chad does). He won't say anything about it until it becomes to much for him and he breaks down, but its partially self sabotage. As is his hypersexuality. He has a weird relationship with sex in that being hypersexual is freeing from his hyperreligious upbringing, but he also uses it as a way to hurt himself. Mentally he's definitely the worse off. He's the smartest too, but chooses not to use it. He slips in and out of polyamory with Brad and Chad - they consider themselves 'dating' but it wont ever go further then that and hes free to do whatever outside of that. Its very casual, and Jake has an intense fear of commitment. Its kind of just him appearing at their door at night and asking if he can sleep in their bed that night. He's a LOT worse than he lets on. He does have anxiety which mostly manifests as him picking at his fingers until they bleed. He'll occasionally have panic attacks and the like, for which he has a psychiatric service dog that Ive only done an hour or so's research on so Ill do that soon. His name is still undecided because he had an original name that was stupid, but now hes a service dog and not just a pet i wanna change it, lmao. Despite all of the redirection and unhealthy coping mechanisms, Jake is a very loving person and his friends love him too <3! He and Brad have been best friends since year 4/3rd grade. They met because Brad was drawing and Jake came over and was like "wow youre good at drawing. can you do the keep out signs for my secret hideout?" and then Brad followed him around like he'd been adopted by an extrovert. They met chad in school about 4 or 5 yearz after they became friends.

Vivere is our resident person who could for sure intervene and fix thing but instead is going to watch it burn down. I wouldn't say shes lazy, she's more just someone who wants entertainment, and shes found an easy source. She can be pretty genuine, but she's always lighthearted. She's on the ace spectrum, but couldn't tell you where. She and Jake are best friends. Shes the bright ideas, hes the execution. They remind me of Team Rocket LMAO. She is an avid cheater of games. She has never not cheated at a board or card game. She brags about cheating but she has a poker face of steel. She'll make monopoly trades with Jake in order to fuck over the other players. Its easy to spot when Jake's cheating because he cant stop grinning, so Viv likes to set him up and encourage it to take the attention off of her ploys. Other than that, she's really into reading. Shes partial to horror, but she'll read just about anything. She also loves animals, But not the typically cutesy ones. She likes reptiles and bugs most. She and Mori have a gecko called Egg and if anything happens to him she'll run away forever /j. She also loves looking into pseudoscience, because she finds it interesting whether or not she believes in them. She is a strong believer in the principles of yes-and and will commit to a bit even if it kils her. She's here for a good time, not a long time.

Mori is tied favourite with Brad, for sure. She's 6'4 and always smiling - not a big one, but its always there. Like what can i say? she loves her friends. She likes kind of old-timey things. She has a pocket watch that never gets used but is there, on of those dial up telephones, etc. She loves collecting too, so she has an EXTENSIVE record collection that she considers her life's work at 22. She loves the sea and pirates and everything that goes with it. Mori also has a few ships in a bottle placed delicately on her windowcill. She's REALLY good with animals and trains dogs for work. She's a dog person for sure. She and Viv eventually want rats, but theres not much space in their apartment for the amount they would need and they have Egg for now. In terms of her dynamic in the group, she serves as the mediator - particularly when playing a game like Uno or Monopoly. (Side note: they had to write colours on the cards for both games because of her colourblindness. Does she know shes ginger? good question, i dont know.) Unlike Jake and Viv who are determined to cheat the rules, Mori is more flexible in the way that she'll change the rules for the group if a compromise is needed. She's the second most social competent after Chad, shes just very charismatic. She also is the Dungeon Master when they play DnD together. She's big on dice collecting. She has them all organised by colour (Vivere helps lmao) in jars and displayed on her drawers. The group is extremely tight-knit and are almost always with atleast one other member of the group, but Mori has never been spotted in just a tshirt and jeans. The pirate outfit stays on during sex /j. What does she wear for pyjamas? No one knows. Vivere refuses to tell.

Uhhhh yeah I think thats basically it, LMAO. Tysm for asking and sorry this took a while to answer. but yeah! Here's the little dudes!!!! TBH i always enjoyed OCs that dont have any magical powers or plot theyre just people livin their lives, lmao. <33

#also in the dnd game Egg is a wyvern and Vivere's familiar lmao #ocs on main #long post #apollo says stuff

Tracking a Post-Walt Top 10 Box Office, Part 6

Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 here...

So now we’re here... In the final month of 2022... It’s been nearly three years since the end of 2019, and because of **everything** that has been going on since then... From the COVID-19 pandemic and its many effects on the business, to other world events...

The Top 10 remains the same...

The Lion King (2019) - $1,657m

Frozen II - $1,450m

Frozen - $1,280m

Incredibles 2 - $1,243m

Minions - $1,159m

Toy Story 4 - $1,073m

Toy Story 3 - $1,067m

Despicable Me 3 - $1,034m

Finding Dory - $1,028m

Zootopia - $1,023m

Most animated features released theatrically during the pandemic haven’t even crossed $200 million worldwide. Many of them went straight to streaming, even in an era where box office and business are back in many ways. (See, Pixar’s TURNING RED going straight to streaming three months after the release of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, which collected nearly $2b in its gargantuan run.) It is often argued that the streaming release patterns and alternate release windows of these films have trained audiences, especially families who have to shell out maybe $60-100 on tickets and some concessions alone, to wait until they leave theaters.

In this year alone, we saw LIGHTYEAR - a spin-off of the massive TOY STORY movies - collect an utterly terrible $226m worldwide... That’s only a little bit more than what TOY STORY **1** made at the domestic box office in 1995/96... While MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU reached $937m worldwide, nearly making it towards Top 10. Families are definitely choosier, and eventual streaming landing dates certainly could be impacting box office... It makes me wonder if the next highest-grossing animated movie won’t be for a loooong, looooong while... And what it could possibly be.

Are any other upcoming animated movies candidates for breaking the Top 10 as it currently stands?

Out later this month is DreamWorks’ SHREK-adjacent PUSS IN BOOTS sequel, THE LAST WISH, which did quite well in its preview screenings and on top of garnering strong critical reception, looks to be a decent-sized hit in its own right. Could it challenge MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU for this year’s animated movie gross crown alone? Who knows! PUSS IN BOOTS Uno, despite arriving just a year or so after SHREK FOREVER AFTER when that franchise’s fatigue was kicking in, was still able to clock in at over $550m worldwide. Again, in 2011... PUSS IN BOOTS Dos could either repeat that, or even if double it, because time has made a difference. With countless memes and nostalgia, the public is arguably hungry for another SHREK movie, even if it’s one without Shrek himself in it... That could *really* benefit PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, among the other things going for it. DreamWorks appears to be pushing it as a sort-of “reset” movie, after a lengthy transition following their merging with Comcast/Universal.

So far, Universal are the ones leading the charge with animation at the box office in the post-outbreak era. Among the highest-earning titles worldwide are MINIONS Deux, SING 2 ($407m), THE BAD GUYS ($250m), and THE CROODS: A NEW AGE ($215m). The latter of those four films opened when theaters were doing limited seating, and before a VOD release, a rollout that worked wonders for the movie. Two Disney releases, ENCANTO and LIGHTYEAR, made it past the $200m threshold. From across the Pacific, the DEMON SLAYER movie, with a not-so-shabby domestic release from by FUNimation, made it past $400m. On the Disney side of things, STRANGE WORLD completely flopped and RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON got a simultaneous PVOD/theatrical release before vaccines rolled out (managing to eke out $130m), the three original Pixar movies went straight to streaming. It’s unknown how LUCA and TURNING RED could’ve performed, but I’d imagine they would’ve pulled ENCANTO/BAD GUYS numbers at best.

Next year looks to have a few animation blockbusters. Illumination/Nintendo’s THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE is likely to be the highest-grossing video game adaptation for sure, and could make a good play for $1b. Maybe not! But I imagine it’ll be big. Ditto Sony’s SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, which looks to build off its fresh original’s sleeper-hit status and outgross it by a wide margin, a la SHREK 2 and DESPICABLE ME 2. Disney Animation’s WISH could be their first bonafide blockbuster since FROZEN II. Pixar’s ELEMENTAL could be their first original blockbuster since COCO, all the way back in 2017. (ONWARD opened right before the pandemic.)

In the next few years, there will be sequels and franchise entries that are sure to pocket some good change, such as KUNG FU PANDA 4, DESPICABLE ME 4, INSIDE OUT 2, another SPONGEBOB feature, SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE, SHREK 5, presumably a MARIO movie sequel. Sometimes a not-sequel comes out of nowhere and takes the crown in an era where franchise entries usually dominate (as we saw with FROZEN in 2013).

Of course, with everything that has been going on, it’s okay if an animated film doesn’t crack the Top 10. It’s totally okay if a lower budget movie makes back its money despite the overall total (see THE BAD GUYS, once again), in fact that’s where things should be heading. Animation should **not** be required to be franchises and big-arse things, we need more lower-budget and riskier endeavors to succeed and be given reasonable parameters to work within... That strengthens the medium, it diversifies and offers us a large range of voices to see and hear from...

... but I’m just curious... Can something make a crack at the Top 10 again? If not the top spot? The Top 10 is currently all films released in the 2010s... Nothing from the 2000s or the 1990s. Does a new trend take over one day and what’s in the Top 10 now is out of it by the end of the decade? Who the heck knows!

headcanon meme - accepting

Carian Knight Adrian, as one would expect of a noble line associated with magic, has a pretty extensive education that extends far beyond the ability to read and write, and of course, martial skills that are required of being a knight. In addition to lessons concerning sorcery, both practical and theoretical, he was instructed in rhetoric, logic, astronomy, music, basic math, as well his toes dipped in geometry and trigonometry. He might not have as extensive of an education as a noble who isn't part of a highly selective order with intense requirements and as such could attend a university, but he's also a far ways more educated than your average peasant.

He definitely wishes he had a more thorough education of sorcery like those that attend Raya Lucaria, if only for the experience of attending lectures with other intellectuals, not that its exactly "incomplete," it was merely crafted for someone with a different lifestyle and different need.

On the other hand, Vileblood Adrian very much has attended university, more specifically, medical school in Yharnam. Even before then, though, their primary education was highly religious in which theology and Latin were just as prominent as arithmetic, history, and grammar. Being from a well-off family meant they also attended secondary school where their education was more focused on the sciences and humanistic studies, though still with a religious slant.
