Can everybody please read what the people who designed Rapunzel's tower for the Tangled movie wrote about all the drawings on the wall!!

Here is the text:

[As might be expected, Glen Keane is as interested in what's inside as what's outside."What's most interesting about the art direction is the inside of the tower. To me, that is Rapunzel's world, and the idea that this girl is making her walls go away by painting on them-I love that.

Visual development artist (and Glen Keane's daughter) Claire Keane continues, "We didn't want it to be just decorative. This is all of her subconscious desires and all of her conscious desires. When I started trying to figure out what she would paint and how she would paint, I started looking into medieval drawings, and also the way other artists work with interconnecting their objects-Rapunzel paints on the walls and she paints on her furniture and it's all connected. I was trying to come up with a new language for the way she would paint"

Claire Keane took a very personal approach to identifying Rapunzels art. "I started on the weekends, and in the mornings, and whenever I was at home, documenting my life in a sketchbook, and turning it into Rapunzel.

Cleaning up my house, putting away my clothes, separating the dirty from the clean. I'm singing while I'm doing it. That leads into this life-as-art thing, where everything Rapunzel is doing is another opportunity for art.

Nathan and Byron also wanted her to feel a little analytical, as if she's documenting things that she's discovering. So it's not just about her art, she's also learning things"

Glen Keane concludes, "Well, you start off when she was a little girl, she just started painting very simple childlike images on the wall. It progresses in maturity to where every square inch is painted. When we're starting the story, there is no room left on this wall any longer. Her next step has to be to go out."]

Like this is so lovely!!!! Especially the last part: "When we're starting the story, there is no room left on this wall any longer. Her next step has to be to go out." I love that so much!!!

#i adore all the 'the art of' books!!!! #they are so beautiful and really show how much work is put into those movies!!!! #like #just the fact that these people were taking the time to genuinely think about how rapunzels art style would have progressed as she got olde #and the things she'd be interested in drawing and painting #i love it so much #i'm gonna buy so many more of these books until i have ALL OF THEM #tangled #lea's random thoughts #i keep saying it #but tangled is one of my very favorite movies it is So Good!!!!!

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.

if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

#it was genuinely surprising to see people talk about inaccessibility and cost of comics here #like ik most of you arent dc fans but i was still surprised #literally everyone in the dc fandom knows about this and uses it regularly #i just forgot that people who arent comics fan wouldnt know about the free comic sites lol #new runs are updated too! its not just the old stuff! #so no you dont need a comic store or a shit ton of money to read the comics #dpxdc #if we're talking movies and shows then use fmovies #DEF use an adblocker (and vpn if you have one) for that though #and since this is directed at dp fans id highly suggest watching the bat.man scooby doo crossover! #its amazing and imo is a great example of mixing bat.man with a more comedic child friendly vibe #bat.man is so goofy in that movie i love it aldhg #oh man... thats making me think of dpxdcxsd crossover now... #is the acronym for scooby doo sd? that feels wrong #well anyway if you want to read the comics for free you can lol #remember! the dc fandom has been here for decades! we have all the resources you need!! dont be afraid to look or ask! #and if you dont know where to start reading - just pick your favorite character and find a masterlist made by an obsessed fan #and start there lol #but if anyone wants recs let me know and ill be happy to help :)

the thing about adaptation discourse (specifically with pjo but this can apply to others i've seen) is that people fail to realize:

a) they are adapting it for a NEW audience. and

b) they are making it fresh for the ORIGINAL audience!

as much as people say they want a 99% accurate representation of a book to screen, be for real that would just be boring!!!! knowing every plot twist every turn every development would get tired sooo fast. by adding changes however minor or major to themes, plot, details, WHATEVER, it makes it fun while still keeping the heart of the thing! maybe i'm just an optimist but holy shit it's so fun to be taken on a whole new journey while still knowing where they'll end up, but being able to be surprised by what may happen to get there! i audibly gasp in delight when things happen that weren't in the books. i LIKE being surprised and falling in love with something all over again for new reasons. especially in a book to tv format, there's so much room to add, to develop, and to REdevelop aged out moments of the books!

tl;dr be kind to adaptations. just. just shhhh. it's okay. they can be good things on their own.

#percy jackson #pjo series #pjo tv show #fandom #book adaptation #tv adaptation #the maze runner was one of my favorite book series ever and believe me! i was a 12 year old who got hung up on inaccuracies #and it made me not like the movies when! they knew their audience! they kept the characterization and the things we loved about it #and made it translate to an action dystopian film of that era! things can be different and still be good

the problem with taking in art that inspires you to create your own is that the energy needed to craft doesn't always come hand in hand with the inspiration

#i am so tired #might take 2 weeks off from wiritng #but watching good movies and old favorite shows has me itching to draft SOMEthing #but i am TIRED!!!! #shouting into the void here

[jaggededges123]

for the ask me 1 thing ask game: what are your top 3 favorite movies?

*instantly forgets every movie i've ever seen in my life* uh,, well i really loved chicken run as a kid, and i recently really enjoyed nimona and honor among thieves, so i suppose i'll say those three!

#i don't tend to watch movies very much tbh #i mostly watch dramas or other tv shows #thank you for asking! :D #ask game #<333 #i could say weird al's UHF i'm also really partial to that one tbh #fuck lmao i just realized like all my old favorites are just my dad's favorite movies

[demadogs]

kids, i know this is gonna absolutely blow your little minds but believe it or not… i still enjoy fictional media as an adult. sometimes i even, dare i say, TALK ABOUT IT on the internet…

#you think i cant have fun with fictional universes bc im in college even tho I LITERALLY WENT TO COLLEGE TO STUDY SAID FICTIONAL UNIVERSES #IM A FILM MAJOR IVE WRITTEN ACADEMIC PAPERS ABOUT SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES AND SHOWS #i keep getting anons from 13 year olds being like ‘you watch a show??? at the elderly age of… 22’ #youre insane #you probably say ‘oh you look so young!!!’ to 30 year olds #byler

I’m the best at boycotts I don’t do shit

#now if I ever had to boycott chilling in my room with the lights turned down I might just have to kms instead but ykw it is what it is #and like what am I even doing in there? not watching shows or movies. not paying for subscriptions. #I’m playing my favorite 5+ year old games and watching the same 5 series on YouTube on repeat like a professional autist

[kattitude130]

wait, the doctor who movie was released in 1996! axl could have seen it!

#he never got to see the revival but thats ok #he would have liked chris eccelston though. sad #now to wonder which doctor 1-8 was his favorite #i dont think he would have been a nerd about doctor who but i find it extremely likely he watched it at least as a kid #he probably would have seen the fourth doctor the most or started watching when four went into five #probably watched it less when six was around #maybe saw some seven here and there but not as interested #then heard they were making a movie and watched it for old times sake #its my hyperfixations i can combine them however i want #youre gonna give me a time traveling 90s british man and tell me he didnt grow up on the most popular long running british time travel show #i know it in my heart #'oi sol did you ever watch doctor who? funny little bloke flying through time and space... us kids used to watch it all the time...' #my post

people talk about pumped up kicks as the premiere "school shooting song that is really catchy" but they're fools because i don't like mondays by the boomtown rats is right there and has been for nearly fifty years.

#personal #first of all it does give 'if i had a nickel for every time an insanely catchy and upbeat sounding song about a school shooting came out' #'i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice' because yeah foster the people and boomtown rats both doing it #that's a coincidence #(tho i think pumped up kicks is more speculative whereas i don't like mondays is literally about the cleveland elementary shooting) #but second of all that song is so good i listen to it more than i should considering the subject matter #and for anyone wondering 'hey amelie you were born in 1999 why are you so into songs from the seventies and eighties?' #my father was the parent responsible for driving me around to school and various weekend activities and he was born in 1962 #my music tastes have been so indelibly marked by his old white guy from wisconsin vibes #you wanna know my first exposure to the karate kid? wasn't from that gay netflix show #it was because he played 'young hearts' by commuter a lot and i REALLY loved that song when i was ten #and it happened to be in the soundtrack of the movie #and yes you did hear me right at ten years old one of my alltime favorite songs was one that came out in 1984 #from what appears to be an incredibly obscure band

movies right now are bad because people are embarrassed of making them. like you look at shit from the 70s and 80s and they just take a weird ass concept but really commit to it. it may not be the fucking cinematic event of the year but it can be a cult classic because there is passion behind it that engages an audience. but now even if you have a good idea it just gets couched in 10 layers of irony and self deprecation for even deigning to make a movie when there are already SOOO many movies!!!1!! what else is there to say?!!1! 🤪 that any spirit it may have had, any originality it had, anything they could have actually said with it just disappears and youre left with just a husk of a story meant to be megaadversited on netflix for a week only to be watched once and never thought about again

#trying to watch anything new nowadays feels like im just begging to have two hours of my time wasted #like. i watched the orig hellraiser the other day and like yeah its fucking weird its definitely not my favorite horror ever but they dont #give a shit. theyre like yeah ur gonna watch this movie abt an evil sex puzzle box who gives a fuck we are committing to the bit!!!!!!! #but today you watch something as innocuous as like. a teen romcom. and theyre like oh my fucking god sorry about this #sorry that we’re making a movie this is stupid i hate it. no you should go watch old movies because they did it better just turn this off #we’re so embarrassed ughhh sorryyyy sorry #LIKE. HAVE A SHRED OF FUCKING CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN WRITE SOMETHING WELL AND IT WILL SHOW. there are plenty of movies that are not the #most original thing ever. that are derivative. that tell a story thats been told before. but it can still be GOOD if you find a new way to #tell it. if you find something new to say about it. if you put in different types of people. #UGHHH UGH UGH UGH. okay sorry. just did some letterboxd reviews for recent watches and so many of them look the same bc i keep saying this
