It’s always struck me as weird that NPMD ends with homecoming and not prom, because as a non-American, isn’t prom the quintessential American high school end trope thing??
Because of this I looked up what the actual difference is and holy shit homecoming takes place at the end of the first semester of the school year????? (Correction: turns out it’s actually around September/October which is roughly the end of the FIRST TERM)
So you’re telling me that not only do Steph, Grace and Pete have to process their trauma but also deal with SCHOOL????? FOR ANOTHER HALF A YEAR??????? AS HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS?????

Another little wish for Sing 3
Not only for John C. Reilly to return, but for Buster to find new ways to startle/scare his best friend.
Eddie: AAAAAUGH! BUSTER, YOU HAVE TO STOP SCARING PEOPLE!
Buster: I’m not scaring people, I’m scaring Eddies!
Eddie: SHUT UP!

GODDDD just. the fact that after everything after dylan's been exonerated, he's back at school, he's being worshiped. but nothing changes. his college admissions are denied and his girlfriend cheated on him and there's a bunch of students pretending to care about him that never even knew him. so he vandalizes shapiro's driveway. because of course he does. like. the way american vandal so clearly showcases how the justice system fails everyone, and there's no escaping reputation. how people are quick to make assumptions, how disadvantaged kids are kept disadvantaged, how innocent people get caught in the crossfire. how adults in the school system abuse their power over their students, how "good" people get away with things and "bad" people suffer the consequences. how unfair it all is. how unjust. how complicated and messy and horrible we can be. and also it's about drawing dicks.

I finished decorating my notebooks, so I can finally show them all off properly!! They were a labor of love (and procrastination) and I'm really proud of how they came out!!!!! They each have their own unique look but also are clearly mine- I can see my style in all of them :D
Also, now I get to have super cute stuff for school that is fandom-y without being just...here are a few stickers on something. I'm very pleased!!!!!! I can definitely share where I got all the stickers/washi tape/etc if anyone's interested, as well OwO
tbh if my laptop weren't already 3 years old, I'd do the same to it...

Joe smiling adorably while calling Eddie and Chrissy a "weird couple"—right after pointing out that a lot of people have picked up on their romantic potential/subtext, agreeing they should've been together, and saying (yet again) the pair would’ve been lovely—really isn't the Joe Quinn co-signed annihilation of Eddissy shippers that you think it is, babes. 😭

The Emperor's New Groove (2000, Mark Dindal)
17/01/2024
The Emperor's New Groove is a 2000 animated film directed by Mark Dindal.
It is the 40th Disney classic, and began as an epic musical called Kingdom of the Sun with directors Dindal and Roger Allers, but over the course of its six years of production it was transformed by Disney executives into a light buddy comedy about Kuzco, a young and selfish Inca emperor who, mistakenly transformed into a llama by his former advisor Yzma in an attempt to poison him, tries to regain his human form aided by the generous farmer Pacha, who teaches him to be altruistic.
The film, shown for the first time in the United States on December 15, 2000, was not a great financial success but received generally positive reviews, being considered one of the best films of Disney's post-Renaissance era and being nominated for an Academy Award for Best song for My Funny Friend and Me, performed by Sting.
However, the film achieved greater success and notoriety from the public later, thanks to excellent sales on the home-video market, and had a sequel and direct-to-video spin-off entitled Kronk's New Groove (2005) and an animated television series entitled The Emperor's New School (2006-2008).
Kuzco, a spoiled, selfish and arrogant young Inca emperor, intends to build, as a birthday present, a new holiday home with a swimming pool called Kuzcotopia on the top of a hill, at the price of destroying an entire village of farmers. Due to the naivety of Kronk, Yzma's aide, a potion is poured into the glass from which the emperor drinks that transforms him into a llama.
The emperor ventures into the jungle alone, coming across a pack of black jaguars; saved at the last minute by Pacha, Kuzco accepts the latter's conditions to be able to return to the palace.
Meanwhile, Yzma celebrates the emperor's funeral and is proclaimed empress; while she toasts with Kronk to her success, the latter lets slip that the emperor is still alive, so the two leave together to look for him.
Kuzco: protagonist of the story, he is the emperor of the Inca Empire.
The idea for Kingdom of the Sun was conceived by Roger Allers and Matthew Jacobs, and development of the project began in 1994. When pitching the project to Disney's then-CEO and president Michael Eisner, the latter said that "it has all the elements of a classic Disney film", and thanks to his success as director of The Lion King that same year, Eisner gave Allers carte blanche with both casting and plot. In January 1995 Variety reported that Allers was working on "an original Incan-themed story".
In 1996 the production team took a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru, to study Inca artifacts and architecture and the landscape in which this empire was created.
Kingdom of the Sun was supposed to be the story of a greedy, selfish emperor (voiced by David Spade) who finds a farmer who looks just like him (voiced by Owen Wilson); the emperor trades places with the peasant for fun, just as in Mark Twain's archetypal novel The Prince and the Pauper. However, the evil witch Yzma plans to summon the evil god Supay and capture the sun so she can stay young forever (the sun gives her wrinkles, so she speculates that living in a world of darkness would prevent her from aging).

MY STRAWBERRY FILM (2024, JAPAN)
Episode 3
The quartet has come together of Ryo (FUKADA RYUSEI) Hikaru (YABANA REI) Chika (YOSHIDA MIZUKI) and the mysterious Minami (TANABE RIRIKA)
Chika has brought Minami to the hideaway (for lack of better word) much to the shock of Hikaru. Minami watches the film as the other watch her (& the film)
Minami is stunned by her resemblance to the girl in the film. But she insists it's not her. So the search for the Minami doppelganger is on.
Sadly for Ryo, Hikaru can't see his friend's glances. His admiration. His Feelings.
Could Hikaru's fascination (ie: obsession) with Minami cost him Ryo?
Will Ryo confess his feelings for Hikaru or stay in the shadows pining?

Talking about star wars in a room full of film major boys is so fucking annoying. I know more about Jedis and Saber forms and fucking neopixels than all of you and you can't let me finish a sentence????? Maybe if you listened to me you'd know that the "$500 neopixel" you've been rubbing in my face is a base lit rbg with smooth swing... meaning you got fucking duped, you definitely shouldn't have paid more than $300 and that's pushing it.... and it's about 4 inches too long for you you'll never be able to swing it. UGHHHHHHH WHEN WILL I BE FREEEEEE these people don't take me seriouslyyyyyyyy
