#he doesn't get reviews

[zot3-flopped]

So Niall is only charting in the UK.

The Show Kworb Live iTunes Album UK: #171 2023-07-14

Kworb Live AppleMusic Album UK: #90 2023-07-14

And Heaven Kworb Live iTunes UK: #169 2023-07-14

When do you think another single might come out? Do you think the album has any chance of getting back on the charts like up to top 40 when his tour finally begins? He must be furious.

I figured it'd flop, but this is worse that I expected.

These numbers are terrible! I don't think there will be another single after Meltdown did so badly.

#his tour will pass in a media vacuum like Louis' #he doesn't get reviews #so the album won't pick up any more sales #the show #niall tour

Tim, buddy, what do you mean you might had accidentally made a Love Child?!

Danny finds out that

1. He's a clonish 'love child' of two heroes

2. He was accidentally created during one of his donors mental break downs after losing his father and best friends (one of which was his other donor)

3. CW interfered before his creator realized what he made and pulled him out of that dimension because "it would had lead that world to true ruin if he found out at his state of mind. He's better now but it would had been the final straw for him should anything had happened to you in his care and given who he had to partner up with later... I did what I had to."

4. Due to Danny having a bad fall out with his parents after he told them about being Phantom (they didn't attack him... but they did disown him.) Danny is left adrift of what to do. He doesn't wanna bug Jazz, she's in college and dorming. Tuckers place has no room. Sam's parents would never let him stay. Vlad was a definitely a no go. And Dani (Ellie) last check in was near the Amazon rainforest.

5. Danny finds out some of his powers might not be as ghostly as he thought... it does explain the huge power boost some of his powers have compared to other ghosts.

6. He went to Clockwork... who proceeded to tell him the truth, smile his cryptic smile while saying "and now. Have fun this time around. I'll see you again in due time Daniel." Before yeeting him into a portal.

7. Danny woke up in his home dimension.... deaged to being five years old (the age he would be if he stayed and grew by now) (DC timeline is slower than DP in this)

8. He woke up apparently his creator's home city... during a Gala (Danny woke up in a garden, dazed and confused. His memories are fuzzy)... and wandered into the party... and apparently he looked like a perfect mix of his.. dads? Which catches A LOT of peoples attention.

9. Especially with Tim Drake-Wayne and Conner Kent-Luthor just announcing they're dating that very night.

10. Rumors and gossip of a random kid, who looks just like the recent happily announced couple, go flying quickly among the elite... and reaches certain ears before it gets to batfam and supers (I have a feeling they learned how to block out rumors and gossips during these events)

11. Those ears happen to be Lex Luthor and Ra's al Ghul (both who are there at the Gala just to annoy and unnerve the Bats and Supers)

12. By the time the rumors get to Tim and Conner, they find Danny almost getting taken away by one of those two.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc #blue rambles #crossover #writing ideas #random idea #danny phantom dc #dpxdc #dcxdp #Danny is Tim and Conner's love child clone baby #Tim accidentally made him during his bad year #but due to CW getting Danny out Tim never noticed #Tim would had become a villain should ANYTHING happen to Danny if he knew #and given the fact he teamed up with Ra's later... yeah #Tim doesn't like remembering that year #he later reviews the tapes in the lab he used and found a small glitch in them where Danny was forming only to disappear a second later #when Tim sees Danny he is hit hard with how much he looks like him and Conner and gets flashbacks to his childhood and being at Galas #after DNA is confirmed and tapes are looked at Tim has to confront this old can of worms he tried to forget during his bad year #Conner is a bit conflicted over it #flattered as heck his crush and best friend back then tried cloning him to get him back but... again... he tried cloning him #and accidentally created a love child #who may or may not be now targeted by Ra's and Lex #now Tim and Conner have to parent up to a young Danny whose memories are a little fuzzy #conner kent #tim drake

You know what I would have loved in an alternate TotK with a more nuanced story and a more nuanced Ganondorf, though? For him to still transform into a dragon, but only after his last boss phase. And then, *as the lore of the game stipulates like three times over* (and then constantly contradicts and ignores even though it was the only thing that had lasting consequences ANYWAY), he actually does lose himself.

Like he's just gonna be an immortal dragon now, letting go of his consciousness and goals but still refusing to be erased. And so you'd have a postgame Hyrule where he's just, chilling in the air alongside Dinraal, Farosh and Naydra, and nobody can do shit about that.

It's just where he is now!

Anyway, I have finished Tears of the Kingdom.

#totk #totk spoilers #ganondorf #like he doesn't even attack you he just gives you passive gloom damage if you get too close #but like wouldn't that be the most passive agressive shit #and by extension the most ganondorf thing to do in that situation #maybe he gets back into bossfight mode during blood moons as a postgame boss fight treat or something #but I don't know I think it could have been both very funny and a little tragic #I think I'll whip out a more nuanced review at some point where I actually talk about what I liked too #but ughhhHHH the narrative part is so frustrating and so hard to ignore

I know this episode is framed as a custody battle for Wilson, but "the polycule is fighting and demands their boss mediate their schedule" is much funnier so that's how I've decided to watch it.

#house md #'if you all agreed on the diagnosis you wouldn't wake me up in the middle of the night' #says man talking on the phone in a noisy bar where he's trying to get his boyfriend drunk before sending him home to his girlfriend #see also 'youre solomon now. you can cut him in half if you really want' #there is no straight excuse for how much house knows about Wilson's sex life #also i would bet money wilson gets off on these two bickering #house likes a good fight and so does amber #the only person not enjoying this is cuddy #'keep your foreplay out if my office' is going on everyone's next performance review #even Amber's and she doesn't even work here

i think the most interesting thing i've learned, after spending way way way too much time researching individual ghost shirt designs and their artists, is that BY FAR, the majority of them are just what the artist wanted to do. like, for virtually all of them that i've been able to find artist commentary on, it's more or less "yeah, i drew this and the reference was my idea and then the art director approved it." which means, okay, there's no grand conspiracy to put copia in a bunch of famous paintings of women. but it also means that like six different artists independently decided to do that and were all approved, and that really tickles me.

#copiaposting #obviously very little way of knowing how much stuff doesn't get approved behind the scenes. much to my sadness. i'd love to know even more. #one artist did say they were told tf does personally review and ultimately approve/veto all the designs. #but he doesn't have any direct contact with the artists and goes through the art director. #i have a big section on this in the essay but generally it was quite a cool thing to learn more about. #but another fun fact: the caligula coin for [message from the clergy] was also the artist's design idea and not a prompt from ghost. #so: not lore related. just a cool design. as is the case for literally every other design too!

someone tell white people stop reviewing Bollywood by mediocre Western standards i'm f*cking crying rn

#film: pathaan #pathaan #local gay watches Bollywood.txt #this applies to pretty much everything but specifically at this moment this is for this film #just saw the Variety review of Pathaan and the first thing he does is compare it to RRR??? goes ahead and calls RRR Bollywood??? #chewing and biting RRR is not f*cking Bollywood #it is part of South Indian cinema. more specifically it is part of Tollywood #when the actors in RRR do media interviews and tell you it isn't a Bollywood film #you'd think you'd f*cking listen for once but apparently not #then continues the review by naming a bunch of Western action stars and saying that Bollywood used to feel more exotic #exotic is like a nails-on-chalkboard word for me and #'James Bond meets Jason Bourne meets Jason Statham meets Fabio' #i'm sorry but Don had a better f*cking soundtrack than James Bond's entire career so i think SRK gets to have a little fun #and be a mismatch of overplayed tropes and already seen actors if he wants to. while being hotter than them. just as a treat #(btw Daniel Craig as Bond gets excluded from the 'entire career' bc he's also hot and heavily bisexual. gays get rights in this household) #also how could i forget the sacrilege of 'Khan who suggests a sleeker more ripped Adam Driver in a man-bun' #pls. pls don't compare him to that man he doesn't deserve that kind of slander to his looks and reputation sksksksk #i need to cleanse my eyes from this they didn't deserve that kind of slander either

the good news is that I finished a book and it got me out of my reading slump where I would start things, not finish, switch to something else, not finish

the bad news is that "yes daddy" by jonathan parks-ramage is one of the worst written books I've read in a whiiiile. bland expositiony prose, flat characters, a bunch of weird plot detours. Written like a 200-page Wikipedia summary instead of an actual book

the worst news is that it has such intensely favorable gushing reviews on goodreads, and the people who hated it mostly hated it for a different reason, and so I'm left alone like oKAY BUT THE PROSE WAS SHIT, HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS

#the writing is LAUGHABLY BAD you guys. how did people like this booooook #but most of the bad reviews are like 'I hated this book because it had too many rape scenes and lots of bad things happen' #BUT MY PROBLEM IS it's so badly written that it's like reading the wikipedia of a horror movie where it flatly tells you the grisly bits #very 'and then four grown men lived in a garden shed as waiters/sex slaves. one of them tripped and hit his head. he's dead now.' #just no emotional impact whatsoever bc this guy cannot write and the characters are all made of cardboard #it bills itself as a gothic/thriller but it has NO grasp of any of the conventions of that genre #there's a weird interlude where the protag becomes evangelical?? and starts going on about The Evils of Gay Sex?? #he gets inspiration to commit arson by READING GOOP? AND THIS IS PLAYED AS SERIOUS AFTER HIS FRIEND'S SUICIDE?? #how did ANYONE take this book seriously let alone enjoy it #it's SO awful. this guy CANNOT write his way out of a paperbag #it's even worse too bc the main character is supposed to be a professional writer with an MFA and the book is the character's memoir #which I consider tantamount to a plot hole BECAUSE THE WRITING IS SO SO BAD #the sketchy rich old guy and his butler/ex call him Rebecca and he doesn't get the reference?? he has an MFA in playwriting and yet! #it's been a while since I got to write a REALLY scathing 1-star goodreads review so that's cathartic at least

#donald duck #just wondering #I don't really have difficulty with him??? #like I always thought his voice was supposed to be comically odd but not genuinely hard to understand #like in his universe people outside his family can't understand him #but isn't the viewer supposed to feel clever and amused because they CAN understand what Donald says while other characters are confused? #but I'm reading a review of DuckTales speculating that he doesn't play a bigger role in events because of his voice #(I mean DuckTales 2017 where he was ostensibly core cast rather than being packed off to the Navy) #that the writers genuinely didn't think they could expect the audience to understand him #so they largely left him out or didn't give him much dialogue #and I Mean #Donald Duck has been working steadily in film and television for nigh on 90 years #would he really have the career that he has if the majority of viewers couldn't understand him? #he just has like a quack accent #once you get used to it he's easy??? #ppl in sailor suits you don't want to pick a fight with: Popeye‚ Donald Duck‚ anyone with a planet in her name (sorry to Steve Harrington)

[rogersstevie]

one thing about me is even if i hated the book i just read i will still be defending the main character while all the goodreads reviewers go on about how whiny and selfish she is

#hi do you not understand she was 18 and did not get to figure out her own identity before becoming the wife of a grown man #do you not understand how postpartum works lol like she did a bad thing leaving the kid for a few months #but like. definitely worse things a struggling mother can do! #like she was doing all that with zero support because neither of them were connected to their parents at that point #and she didn't get to make any friends because as soon as she came into this city she got pulled into his life #and he's certainly not helping because he's always working and he thinks she has it so easy being with a baby all day #even though he absolutely DOES see how impossible it is to calm the kid and YET #and even when she leaves and he has to do shit himself and sees firsthand he still doesn't acknowledge it much #anyway that was a dumb book but it's like i always go looking to reviews for validation on not liking it and i see that shit #and i'm just like no no she was not the issue #it's literally like.........so many books i read where a woman is Going Through It #and is somehow expected to just be graceful and perfect all the time both within the book and by readers??? like what are y'all on #being rightfully unhappy about your situation does not make you whiny even when you're in the wrong sometimes you need to complain! damn! #and also she rarely did complain that's why she had to just leave because if she had said anything to her husband #about her struggles he would have dismissed her and told her to wait it out #god. i think it was very weird that i didn't see mention of the age difference in other reviews #literally. just graduated high school. he is 28. i'm just.

// Fordo's participation in the Imperial Department of Military Research did not extend strictly to weapons, armor, and vehicles, but even things like field rations as well. Having lived on rations for significant parts on his life to the point of becoming a bit of a private connoisseur, he takes a interest in the realm of culinary research. He goes out of his way to participate the trials of prototype field rations, eating them on solo missions as intended and writing reviews.

As an admirer in efficiency in all its forms, he tends to favor ration bars and cubes: highly preserved, calorically dense foods that are simple to eat while on the march or too-near combat to sit down for a meal. For his life, they are the perfect food. In some instances, he grants projects he's personally fond of his official backing or sponsorship.

LOVED your Milagro analysis! I recently showed the episode to a friend who's not an xf fan, and she was bothered by the lack of emotion from Mulder and i was like...whatt. how can you not see how bothered and jealous he is from the minute he discovers it was padgett who sent the charm. his expressions in the elevator, breaking into his apartment to find Scully there, every time Scully defended padgett, like I was eating that shti right upp so I was so confused. I think it's difficult for people who aren't used to watching DD's acting (especially as Mulder) to be able to see the subtleties. I actually think Milagro's quite significant in terms of their emotional arch as well, I know he ditches her again the next episode but I feel a definite shift in their energies, like some things had been cleared, and then he does come back to her (baseball scene), whenever he can find the headspace to get away from his obsessive need to search and find, he always comes back to Scully (touchstone I actually cannotttt). anyway, I feel really validated in my emotions after reading the post so sorry for the rant but really appreciate it!!!

I get the same thing-- I also have someone I showed the series to, and she, unironically, falls into the "MSR wouldn't last and is surprised that it did" noromo camp.

DD's acting as Mulder is soooooooooooo great: even compared to his earlier work, there was a flatness undercut by jocular tongue-in-cheek teasing that makes it so memorable. But I found, even when watching a scene, that if I take random screenshots they STILL don't capture the emotion-- I have to be very careful which expressions to pick because they're "flit and they're gone" reactions.

And thank you for liking the Milagro analyses! It was an out-of-left-field for me, and surprisingly a lot of (not hard) work, two parts turning into three and 30 screenshots turning into 30 sets of 3 squished together screenshots. Love the feedback, and rant anytime~! ;)))))

#asks #txf #jharu #DD #and his subtle acting #thanks for writing in! send me alllll the review! >:)))))) #saw a description of David Duchovny once: “the man the myth the monotone” and thought it was hilarious #and Geoff Peterson poking fun at his voice on Craig Ferguson's show is a highlight I never want to forget #the whole scenario was hilarious #excuse me while I get sidetracked: #Geoff (Josh) has an amazing ability to mimic guest's voices #doing Morgan Freeman to Morgan Freeman's face and shocking him so much that it wasn't a recording #then when Craig sets that bit up for DD “he can listen and do your voice RIGHT now!” #Geoff DOESN'T EVEN TRY #doing the most shaky monotone “I'm not even cognizant” voice with such a California surfer dude: #“Hey what's... going on... man?” #which almost killed Craig #AND THEN DD STOOD UP TO CONFRONT HIM AND RESTORE HIS HONOR #and then Geoff brings it all around to a joke DD made earlier-- that sharp wit carrying the whole joke home

episode review i am never going to recover from this

#meaghan talks #tlou hbo #tlou hbo spoilers #full review i still don't really care about kathleen like i get what they were trying to do and i think she's very sabinacore #but ultimately i didn't care all that much about her story or her brother because i just did not have enough time with her #on one hand i love her bc like. look at her. but also i don't actually care all that much #i joke about the silver fox but idc about him either #i don't even know his name #i liked seeing the ish stuff underground but i do kind of wish we had gotten expanded lore on that bc i thought his whole deal was cool #ONTO THE GOOD PARTS #ellie and sam. full stop i loved their interactions and bonding over the comics they had read #and playing soccer. and sam laughing and henry saying he hadn't heard that in a while. literally heartbreaking #the acting was incredible and there were so many moments where i had to face that in a lot of ways henry isn't all that old #in so many ways he's also just a kid forced to pick up a burden that was far too heavy for him and either sink or swim #and i think joel sees that in a lot of their interactions but he doesn't really know what to do with it #and god. ellie trying to cure sam. trying to stay awake with him through the night. but inevitably falling asleep. #that ellie and joel took precious time and energy and properly buried them. #and ellie wrote i'm sorry on sam's notepad. that's when the tears actually started and i just had to sit there like!!! cool!! awesome!! #AND WE GET TOMMY NEXT EPISODE!!!!!

incredibly surprised to learn linkara has a tumblr blog, not at all surprised to learn he doesn't understand even rudimentery abstraction in art

i feel like linkara having a tumblr is among the least surprising things about that man

#i actually like the guys reviews #i just consume his videos tho #don't really care to know anything about the people i watch on youtube beyond what i see in their videos #and frankly even a decent chunk of that i don't care to know about #also yeah im with you on the abstraction thing #i respect his opinion and taste #but i think linkara's biggest weakness as a reviewer is that he sometimes falls into the camp of #“there is such a thing as a perfect comic and every other comic is best measured in how similar it is to my vision of that” #so when you get a comic that isn't really going for that platonic ideal he's much harsher on it #although in his defense he does acknowledge frank's older work is kino and its still pretty darn abstract #i honestly think frank's biggest problems are colorists as discussed in the post this ask is a response to #and he's just such a big name and guaranteed sell that he doesn't really have anyone to tell him no anymore
