i will never not find it hilarious that they completely forgot to animate patty at the very end of the final cutscene in the last three frames of the whole group

and the dub didn't even give her voiced lines when everyone was shouting they so the localization forgot about her too

#GTF Things #the loc also changed her line from “it stopped?” to “it's over?” which is awkward #bc i'm pretty sure she was referring to the blastia+spirit's power not working as they intended #i know the DE loc was really wonky and they rly just went what's a consistency tho #but it's actually very jarring for me to play the DE version bc the loc was actually relatively on point originally #and then all the additions and changes are super awkward in the loc #like flynn saying good luck out there to yuri if you sleep at the inn at aurnion... even tho he's literally in the party #you can tell they didn't actually check the original script for accuracy/consistency AT ALL #just really feels like they didn't care much about it ultimately and just shoved it out #the remake is what i have access to rn but like... the original was def better and like #as someone who did play the original numerous times it's so blatantly obvious where they changed/added stuff #esp since patty's lines outside of anything immediately directed at her own story #were almost entirely throwaway lines they stuck in there just to give her lines to make her more present #i'd say about half of flynn's added lines if not more for anything he wasn't originally part of were similar #like anything that was exactly the same except they stuck in a few extra lines for those two #and like... i love flynn but imo the DE version really didn't do him that much more justice (n-no pun intended) #and like it doesn't matter that they did plan patty originally bc ultimately she got cut #which meant making the entire story/plot without her; so adding her back in LATER is like... why did you fucking bother removing her then #they ended up having to forcefully stick her back in anyway and whatever she would've had in the first place #prob would've been better/integrated better into the story than trying to squeeze in lines wherever possible #and I say that bc her lines (and a chunk of flynn's) don't actually change anything. chars will respond the same with or without their line #like... hearts r did really great in integrating a new char into the main party #even if i usually do NOT like additions to the main cast in remakes and is usually why i don't want remakes in the first place for tales #and then you've got innocence r which just butchered everything with its additions #and vespy is right in the middle as like... why bother (for money i know but still) #also tho honestly with how little flynn is even actually playable it's still a big why bother for me #bc yeah i do love having him there and i do love the sidequest stuff with him #but the biggest difference between hearts r and the vespy remake is that they didn't really... remake it #they just stuck new things into existing unchanged content and added a little bit more and reused the base game #if the tag count is still thirty im out of tags lol i just have a lot of Feelings abt this remake

[cld-n]

it's giving the lovely bones serial killer

#yk though if there was ever a film adaptation of tsh he could probs play henry #but yuck lol #also so much for saying she rewrote the script earlier lol no wonder why critics were bringing up the original writers to shit on it #see this is what i mean when i say i know too much about dwd ugh ffs

[blueskittlesart]

hi :] this isnt really a reqest cuz it'll prob be a longer answer but im rlly curious abt ur comic process

i love all ur comics and somehow they always manage to gutpunch me- and ur composition and the way they read is always so beautiful and adds so much to the message youre trying to get across

yeah lol let's get into it! Ive spent maybe 5 or so years refining this process to the point it's at now so it's pretty much my standard procedure now. I'm going to use Now that you're gone as my primary example here since i still have most of the planning stages associated with it (my laptop does not have a whole lot of storage left so i usually delete my planning once the comic is finished lol) but i'll try to throw in some other examples too!

I almost always start with a written script. (the exception for this is longform oc comics which i find easier to write in the moment, but for my shorter character studies I almost always write first.) I use discord to write because it's convenient, but before i had a dedicated discord server for my stuff i was using txt files on my laptop which i do NOT recommend. anyway, this is what the written script for ntyg looked like:

note that some small elements changed in production, like the amount of time that had passed since link's death. the lines "I look at her and i am only afraid. i remember all the ways in which i hurt you. She's almost as old now as you were then. I cannot stand the thought of outliving her, too" were also added during the rough stage because i felt like there wasn't quite enough emphasis on aryll in the initial script, and since this was a major change that necessitated a whole extra page in the comic I went back and edited those lines into the script so I wouldn't forget them. (both these changes were made during the rough stage. i'll almost never make major script adjustments after the roughs are finished.)

more examples of my scripts; specifically the original script for totk: failure and two versions of oot: adulthood (one before some major refining and one after.) with comics like these, where i have a very clear idea in my head of the imagery i want to go along with the words, i'll sometimes include it interspersed in the script, either spolier-marked or denoted with brackets.

with ntyg and some of my other more. canon divergent? i guess? comics, there's sort of a mini phase in between scripting and roughs where I do some minor character studies to get designs nailed down in the early stages. with ntyg I already had a clear image in my mind for aryll, but the central character was link's dad, whose design wasn't quite so solid in my head. I really wanted to make sure that his design was well thought-out and consistent throughout everything, so i did a few mini sketches and studies to ensure I had his design memorized and could execute it consistently:

these are sans hair and accessories because nailing down consistent facial features was my main focus with them, and both these sketches ended up getting used as references for certain panels later on. This isn't a step I ALWAYS take with my comics, but if there's a central character that i'm not super used to drawing i find it helpful to get some practice in before jumping into the real thing!

after the scripting and design phases i move on to roughs, which I consider to be the most important stage in my process. roughs are very very quick approximations of what I want the final pages to look like. they usually don't take me more than a few minutes per page to create, and their sole purpose is to help me visualize the flow of the page and the placement of major elements like panels, characters, and dialog. this is what the 1st page rough for ntyg looked like compared to the final page:

as you can see, all i have laid out is the major text and visual elements, but it really helps me to visualize how the finished comic is going to flow. i do the roughs for every page before i start on the finals so that i have an idea of what the entire comic is going to look like before I really start finalizing it. it's important that these roughs are FAST--i almost never draw fully-fledged characters unless the pose or expression is particularly important to the scene, and that's because the goal is to allow everything to flow quickly and easily from panel to panel and page to page, and getting too caught up on one panel or element often breaks that flow. Nowadays, i have a pretty good idea of how much room my writing takes up so i don't write out the entire script in my roughs, but back when i was a little less experienced i took the time to write everything out in this stage to ensure that my dialog would fit into the space it was given without getting cramped or cutting off other important elements. doing that really helped me build awareness of how much dialog and panel placement matters and how i could use it, so this rough stage is non-negotiable for me even now!

after the roughs i go straight into finalization. I never enjoyed lineart back when i was learning to draw digitally so i basically built my art style to be understandable and visually appealing after one sketch phase, meaning there's legitimately no in-between stage between that rough and that final page, i just sort of. go for it. this is what works for me, but i think most normal people would probably find a second sketch phase helpful LMAO i'm just crazy and i need everything done as fast as possible. the finalization stage usually doesn't contain any major adjustments of script, composition, etc; i make it a general rule to keep most of the major adjustments confined to the earlier stages, for my own sanity. One thing that DOES occasionally change in this stage is my plans for color--ntyg in particular was originally planned to be completely black-and-white with no grays added, but when looking at my completed pages i found them sort of empty and unengaging without the gray, so i added it. usually if my color plans DO change it's something small like that--I'll almost never switch between full-color and grayscale on a whim because the way that i sketch for those two versions differs significantly so it isn't an easy switch to make.

anyways i hope this is what you were looking for! I'm very passionate about making comics and this process is a result of years of experimentation & finding what works for me, but i hope it's of some use to you as well!

#asks #^guy who loves writing comics so much it's unreal. i love comics and i love this process it's so fun genuinely #long post #<kinda

how to shift realities except it’s 2020 shiftok.

this is satire. don’t take this seriously.

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.

♡ drink water !

hydration is so so important so so important !! I order to shift you must drink 7-9 glasses a day or else you won’t shift :(

also this applies to eating !! you have to eat regularly & not be too full or too hungry.

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.

♡ clean your bedroom !!

you will also not shift if your room isn’t clean. i mean dusting every corner & breaking out the cleaning supplies; windex, vacuum, floor polish.

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.

♡ scripting !

you must script. especially if you’re shifting to hogwarts because dumbledore will know & shift you back into your original reality. put your script under your pillow & make sure to physically write it out so your brain can absorb the pen ink from under your pillow while doing your method.

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.

♡ method !

speaking of methods. this step is critical. you must must lay in starfish position. you also have to lay perfectly still & count to 100 until you wake up in your dr !!

⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.

if you haven’t shifted & you’ve followed these steps correctly then you prob have doubts & you can’t shift with doubts or you have maladaptive daydreaming which makes it harder to shift. hope this helps ! <3 xoxo

Kono Oto Tomare Chapter 126 Scans and Rough TL

Disclaimer: Please DO NOT use this translation to make your own TL of the chapter!! The KOT TL group works very hard to give you the most accurate translation, that does as much justice to the original script as possible. This is a ROUGH translation. That means is faulty and there must be mistakes in certain places. This is just for impatient people like myself to get a grasp on what is going on in the chapter! You can REFERENCE my TL if you want to discuss the chapter but never USE it as it was your own.

Kota: Taishin-sensei--! Where did you run off to?

Sane: Right, we haven't seen you since the break.

Natsu: Isn't that used?

Suzuka: ----Okay, is about time we wrap up here. Pick up your things and---

Chika: ----Eh

Chika: Ah Ca- can we play one more time? The last one!

Suzuka: What are you saying, sweating like that. If you keep this up you will be exhausted for tomorrow.

Suzuka: But honestly, when you guys completed your interpretation of the song

Suzuka: For me, you already achieved that.

Page 21

Suzuka: If you weren't in the same club, these members probably wouldn't have had anything to do with one another.

Suzuka: Wouldn't have gathered together

Suzuka: Experienced all kinds of things.

Suzuka: And reflected on them.

Kota: Are you thinking about tomorrow's fill-in?

Natsu: ...Well, yeah

Page 31

Kota: Ah, am I bothering you?

Natsu: Not really...

Natsu: ...

Natsu: Usually, it's not a good idea to think about it in advance.

Natsu: I mean, if you do, then it's not improvising anymore...

Kota: It will be fine

Kota: Every fill-in you have introduced up till now, all of them have been amazing.

Kota: They are even easy for me to get back in the song.

Kota: You've been making more and more adjustments, right?

Page 32

Kota: So tomorrow, do what you like best, Momoyan

hello this is probs a dumb question but oh well

so, basically i wanna make a waiting room where i can basically do everything and learn anything. so i have two questions:

If i make a skill room in my WR, and i learn skills there, will i know how to do them when i shift back to my CR?

Lets say someone was sick in their CR, but couldnt get diagnosed. (We’ll say they have like anxiety or smth) if they scripted everything abt themselves into a WR script, and script a doctor, could they get diagnosed with something they have in their CR in their WR if they can afford to do it in their CR? Hope that one makes sense idrk how to word it lol

have a good day :)

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

hello anon! i'm not going to waste any time here and i'm just going to jump straight into answering your questions!

🪐 IF I MAKE A SKILL ROOM IN MY WR, AND I LEARN SKILLS THERE, WILL I KNOW HOW TO DO THEM WHEN I SHIFT BACK TO MY CR?

first of all, yes! it is possible to learn skills in your waiting room (and any reality for that matter) and bring them back to your current reality. since when you shift to your waiting room and go through the learning process of the skill you want to learn, you will still have the memory of the particular skill you learned. so when you return to your current reality, you will still have that skill.

for example, if i were to learn a language in my waiting room/desired reality, i am able to retain that knowledge and return to my current reality knowing whatever i've learnt.

now here comes the 'issue' with other specific skills; physical skills. things like fighting, dancing- the question is whether you can come back and execute such skills you've learnt. your current reality body may be different to your waiting room/desired reality self and while you may be able to remember the knowledge you've learnt, would your cr body be able to execute the things you've learnt?

for example, you go to your waiting room and decide you want to learn how to dance with your current body. as you learn to dance, your body in your waiting room may get fitter or stronger as you progress. but when you return to your 'original reality' you will have all that knowledge but since it's a different body, you may execute it a bit differently. unless you script that your waiting room body stays the same as your current reality body and in a way your current reality body can execute the skill you've learnt, for example.

even for things like you shifting to a reality where you're already fluent in a language and then you come back to your 'original reality' "you won't be totally fluent since you didn't learn it in your current reality."

well, this is what many in the shifting community says anyways (*cough* shifttok *cough* no shade whatsoever hehe): that you have to learn skills to be able to bring them back.

but who says i can't just decide to shift back to a version of my 'original reality' where i am fluent in so-and-so language, even though i didn't learn it over there?

who's to say i can't shift back to a version of my 'original reality' where i have the same body as i do in, let's say my superhero desired reality so i am able to execute the same fighting moves and self-defence as i can in my desired reality?

if there are an infinite amount of realities out there and people can shift to defy the laws of physics and have superpowers, why is it so farfetched to be able to 'change' our 'original reality'? this reality is no different from any other reality and our reality isn't exempt from being limitless and changeable. unless you assume so (law of assumption!!).

reality shifting goes way deeper than anyone thinks but i feel many reality shifters look at shifting on a 'surface-level'. that yes, we are shifting to a whole different reality different to this one. and yes, we can't change a reality or bring anything into a reality, but alongside our current reality, exist an infinite amount of realities that differ slightly and hold every single possibility out there. reality shifting and manifestation are intertwined. we are shifting realities every single second. what do you think happens when we manifest something? we simply shift to a reality where we have what we want.

you can most definitely shift to learn skills and come back to this reality knowing them. you can definitely shift to a reality where you're fluent in a language and then decide to shift back to a version of your 'original reality' where you are fluent in that language, without having to learn it. you can 100% shift back from your dr and back to your 'original reality' where you have your dream body. again, any reality is malleable and in your control, just not in the way you think.

you choose what you get to experience, and you choose what's possible and impossible.

i went on a bit of a tangent here but the answer to your question is a one hundred percent yes :)

🪐 LET'S SAY SOMEONE WAS SICK IN THEIR CR, BUT COULDN'T GET DIAGNOSED. (WE'LL SAY THEY HAVE LIKE ANXIETY OR SMTH). IF THEY SCRIPTED EVERYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES INTO A WR SCRIPT, AND SCRIPT A DOCTOR, COULD THEY GET DIAGNOSED WITH SOMETHING THEY HAVE IN THEIR CR IN THEIR WR IF THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT IN THEIR CR?

again, i don't see why this isn't possible! in fact, i've even thought of doing this before. if infinite realities exist, there is 100% a reality out there where you can shift to a waiting room with a doctor and you were the exact version of yourself from your 'original reality' to get diagnosed with something and get the help you need.

and honestly, if you ever have a question regarding shifting and wondering, "is this possible?" the answer is always going to be a big, fat, YES!

reality shifting is limitless. there are INFINITE realities, and INFINITE possibilities. i feel like some people tend to underestimate how really big INFINITE is. and we hardly can; it's infinite. anything that is humanly possible and impossible, every single outcome, possibility, EXISTS out there. NOTHING is impossible and everything is POSSIBLE.

reality shifting is limitless until you start limiting yourself :D

i hope this helped! i apologise if i went a bit off-topic here but i hope i was able to answer your question! i wish you the very best of luck with reality shifting and have a good day as well! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Ok so just got back from Comic Con, and I have to say OHMYGOD

I met the composer for Cry Little Sister from Lost Boys, Gerard McMann(or McMahon) lovely man I loved him (even if he kind of ignored me 🥲) still amazing man. Told me and my fam the story of how he wrote the song, I’m probs late to the party but, this man quite literally read the script and wrote the song. Absolute legend I love him so much he was so nice.

And here’s the original paper he wrote it down on!!!

#like omg #also no so humble brag I might be in a Netflix documentary????? #tlb 1987 #the lost boys #marko tlb #david tlb #paul tlb #gerard mcmann

[newimprovedfarkle]

I MAKE MY TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO TUMBLR with a shit ton of characters from mother 64 (the brain rot is real I have been obsessing over this stupid n64 game since I was in the 3rd grade)

With the exeption of Thomas, Lisa , Richie, nichol, lighter AND fuel (plus a couple others) none of these characters have confirmed names buuut there is a lot (or frustratingly little) evidence of them being some of the original incarnations of mother 3 npcs. Like take for example the gentlemen up there, now the man on the left is obviously Bronson ( I mean CMON they literally have the same face his goddamn design is so recognizable it even translates to sprite art) but the man on the right on the other hand…. Well it took until someone found an unused table of the campfire cutscene and found out that jonel was the one who told you the bad news that the eb64 community decided by proxy that this fella was jonel! Maybe… I mean it does align with the fact that we know for certain that a lot of roles were swapped during development (Bronson was probably the guy who accompanied you during the forest fire and not Thomas judging on unused gba data) so why the helll not, anyway the point Im Trying to make is that we don’t know who these guys really are YET. Not until a build resurfaces (cuz it’s only a matter of TIME TILL IT LEAKS I MEAN ITTLL BOUND TO RESURFACE EVENTUALLY RIGHT RIGHT I AM A NORMAL AND WELL ADJUSTED HUMAN BEING) but until then we just have to speculate, also I’m probably one of the only people to MAKE fan art of these characters until now lol anyway along with art I’m gonna be posting a shit ton of eb64 theories and essays cuz I need an outlet to vent my frustration. (Also maybe if i make enough fanart some felllas gonna decide to take one for the team and hack Hal labs or Nintendo and steal either the final build or the ENTIRE SOURCE CODE WITH EVERY ASSET, LINE OF SCRIPT, AND EVERY BUILD INCLUDING THE DD VERSION AMD ALSO THE LAST ONE BEFORE CANCELLATION. But I’d be fucking ecstatic if it’s the 2000 build also they probably haven’t scrubbed the game yet of all the unused files so we could probably find stuff dating back to 96 hidden in the rom and aaaaaaaa I’m getting exited just thinking about it lmaooo

Oh yeah this is hinawa btw (the other guys prob Alec I mean he’s next to wess right I mean I’d make sense for the two old guys to be next to each other like in gba)

Now now, I know you have the Main 3 Projects you have + In-Dev Projects right now but aside from these, will you be able to focus on Metallic Miracle one day? /genq

This might be a suggestion probs. but, I don't know if you have any characters in there or not-

hopefully! i'm personally proud of myself for the concept, and i do write for it from time to time, so maybe one day i'll be able to write a proper script and release it one day. right now i've got a few characters done, and a general plot:

the story takes place in a futuristic earth - the protagonist, M1-RA, is an 8 year old former child soldier who fought in a war against these aliens that were specifically weak to prepubescents. all the other soldiers were put into a "synthetic coma" and controlled by trained adults, M1-RA somehow escaped the coma and was left to fight and evade the aliens to the best of her ability. why did she escape the coma you might wonder? it's because of her mother, who was one of the scientists who helped to design the robot parts that would be surgically added to the children's bodies - she and M1-RA attempted to escape and live off the grid, but were eventually caught, and M1-RA's mother was killed and M1-RA herself was left to be drafted a few years after every other child (so she was only in the war for a little under a year.)

that little bunny robot with her is rabbot - which is an AI robot that helps her out, and was originally built by her mother as a multi-functional device (think GPS + flashlight + various other things).

anyway, after the war (which lasted roughly 5 years) only around 10,000 survivors were left of the millions who fought. those survivors were also stuck in a child's body forever as the cyborg-ification was permanent and stoped their bones from developing further (i know it makes no sense lol). those survivors were sent to orbit the earth in small shuttles as they couldn't be taken out of their comas, and most died. however, after around 50 years it was discovered that M1-RA and 2 other survivors still had a heartbeat, and were therefore returned to earth. M1-RA was sent to a large city (still unamed) and now lives with this group of city defenders (kind of like firefighters but for mid-level alien threats) and the story revolves around her, her trauma, and character battles, as well as trying to find the other survivors.

for the defense group, i have a few characters, but haven't drawn them in digital yet. i'll sketch them out -

firstly thoma, who isn't the leader but likes to act like she is. she's a 30 year old basically fitness influencer type, and is also a super genius who created these aids to help her in battle (the pigtail arms). M1-RA (or mira as she's known as by the defense team) lives in her home, and she's kind of rude and snobby but she means well.

secondly nonon, the explosives specialist. he's kind of a hyperactive weirdo who's obsessed with blowing stuff up, and is pretty silly and unserious when it comes to his job. he tries to help mira take risks and venture out more.

and the last character i've properly developed for the defense team is lovelox. she's the mechanic and is super sweet and kind, but treats mira like glass. she's a good friend/rival of thoma and helped make her robot arms.

so yea they all go on adventures and what not, its kind of fuzzy right now but i hope you don't mind me springing all of this on you lol. thank you for the ask, i don't really talk about metallic miracle so getting to dump so much info in one go is good fun ^^

TATMR Rewatch

Saw this post appear on my dash again and felt like rewatching the movie again. Thoughts while rewatching a twenty-four year old film about magic talking trains included below.

Btw, if you want to watch this fever dream for yourself, the whole thing is on Youtube w/ ads:

Starting off and- hey it's Diesel 10! You remember Diesel 10, right? What a "blast from the past," right? Right?

I miss the hammy, over-the-top New Jersey accent they gave Diesel in this movie. The slimy, manipulative voice they gave him later on is fine, but c'mon, the guy's got a giant claw coming out of his back. There's nothing subtle about him. Give us our big dumb tantruming baby back!

Interesting to see Gordon shake w/ fear after seeing Diesel, considering how much flak people gave the last couple seasons of the show over the engines 'gesturing' w/ their bodies (same w/ Thomas sneezing later on).

The two ends of the universe: Anytown, USA and a remote island off the coast of England (I know its implied that Sodor is part of a separate magical dimension in this movie, hush).

That said, filming in the rustic British countryside really doesn't scream America:

Also what's that line about Shining Time being separated from Sodor by "oceans of time"? Dym like time zones (crossing the Atlantic) or time travel? The show is canonically set in the 50s-70s, afterall.

It's a shame that they didn't use the original Shining Time theme for the introductory shot. Not sure if it'd fit, but it's still a shame. Include it during the credits at least.

Oh, that fish is not having a good time.

Stacy Jones! c:

Billy Twofeathers (wdym he aways looked like that, hush)! c:

S/o to James' androgynous voice in this movie.

Diesel 10 is going to dominate you... sorry.

I know they recut this movie after audience testing, but it is odd having the mystery of the lost engine w/ Burnett's backstory revealed to the audience right at the beginning of the movie, only for it to continue being treated as a mystery by the rest of the cast until the climax.

That said, they still did an admirable job w/ it, considering they cut out one of the main antagonists. There's a few repeated story beats (Burnett and Diesel giving Lady's backstory back to back) and lines that don't quite work (Burnett telling Diesel, the magic talking train, he'll fail bc he "doesn't believe in magic"), but nothing too distracting.

Jumping from that slow, melancholic scene w/ Burnett to Diesel w/ his fucking goofy theme playing is fantastic.

Mr. C Humming the OG theme tune is a really cute touch.

Free Moby Dick!

"Stacy, where did you find this painting?" Mr. C, I'm pretty sure that's a drawing.

I can't get over Baldwin chewing the scenery in this movie, he's just constantly goofing off in front of the camera, picking up and talking to random props. I know all of it is prob in the script, it is a kid's film after all, but its just so silly that I love it.

I like the implication that Burnett was just a kid that Mr. C talked to and chose to entrust w/ Lady's secret, just like all the kids he'd (well, another Mr. Conductor), interact w/ on Shining Time.

Lily! c:

Bluebird! c:

Now there's the America I know! Cars everywhere!

I remember too many of these lines.

The scene w/ the angry painting of Topham calming down each time they cut back to it after Mr. C puts back the hat was and still is the best one in the movie imo.

Lady Hatt's portrait is still just one of the wooden figures lmao.

I have a deep-seated memory of constantly repeating the scene of Mr. C reflexively batting the ball he was just roleplaying w/ out of his hand and scolding it.

Nvm the scene of Diesel busting through the shed wall still goes hard as hell, esp. when Mr. C's magic starts failing (same for all of Diesel's action scenes tbh).

Here it is, the infamous sugar scene:

Also that face. :O

Jesus, why did they put this scene into the movie?

Hearing Stacy say that and start sobbing is genuinely upsetting.

I didn't even notice the railway (sorry, railroad) got replaced w/ a road in this scene.

It's interesting to think about how in the workprint, an older Lily was the narrator, meanwhile Mr. C would still out here constantly breaking the fourth wall by talking straight to the audience.

Very interesting low self-esteem James moment b/w him and Mr. C. It's a shame that isn't explored more in the actual series. James is usually portrayed as vain, not insecure.

Mr. C, you're on a railway. Why are you hiking in the woods to get to a windmill?

Bertie saying "vroom vroom vroom" after every one of his lines is the best decision they ever made.

James: "Mr. C's not at the Windmill. I looked!" Point proven.

Even though they lean into the sick Henry angle, it's nice to see he still has that edge to his personality, at least for two out of three scenes.

Presented w/o context:

Why does Junior have a Scottish accent? Is he from Ringo's side of the family?

Mr. C is in charge of this entire railway rn and he's just sleeping outside on the fucking ground having an existential crisis.

Hey Lily can play the harmonica! I need to break out mine again and harass people w/ my inability to play.

There he is! P.T. Boomer! I remember reading SiF all the time going over all the scenes left in after they axed that entire plotline like that freeze-frame of Stacy w/ the picture of Burnett, Boomer, and Tasha.

Lady's ghost whistling still works as is, but just imagine hearing it thru out the film w/o that knowledge. Much more haunting.

They did Toby so much justice in this film. Consistently a wise voice of reason that gets his own spotlight moment vs Diesel.

I... I forgot this movie included a version of "Really Useful Engine" in the middle of it.

I know the film was criticized for how much focus it put on its all new human cast, but I actually really enjoy these scenes. Maybe bc they're part of the quintessential Magic Railroad experience.

That said, w/o the inclusion of Boomer, the human plot lacks tension or stakes for much of the runtime. The Sodor plot (thru the character of Mr. C) is doing all of the tension-building for the whole movie. As it stands, there's little reason for an audience to actually get invested in that part of the story as is outside of just liking the characters.

Man, this film's special effects have not aged well.

Oh yeah, Annie and Clarabel only get a single line in the entire movie. :/

Oh Alec finally gets to start acting serious towards the end of the film. It really helps the tension building.

Mr. C: "No he is not a dog. Let's just say he's a puppy in need of a good trainer," while Junior is kneeling in front of him w/ his tongue out panting. I get that it's meant to be a short little gag but wtf is this movie?

It's my favorite character! Tumbleweed!!!

OMG TUMBLEWEED APPEARS IN A SECOND SCENE! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!

CGI Thomas just out here chilling on top of a cliff in the real world.

Thomas falls down and almost dies and Lily doesn't notice at all.

The smelter's yard continues to be the best set in this entire series. With the lighting turning the steam red it looks genuinely hellish.

Burnett: "Well Lady, this is your shining time too." Hey they said it!

The viaduct collapse scene is so good! It feels so real and weighty. Props to the props department.

Burnett: "Now we'll always remember our shining time together." 🌈🌈🌈

God, this movie is so cute! Really fun watching it again in full some all these years later.

HEY WHAT THE FUCJK IS THAT CREDITS SONG?!?

HELLO??!?

I've legitimately never heard this before. I must've just stopped watching at the credits as a kid. this movie just ends w/ a 2000s pop dance song. okay. sure.

[sandraharissa]

So I haven’t been in this fandom for YEARS but I just came across smth that always bugged me so ig I’m venting.

So the fandom has always been very critical of Odin but I always found it to be to a fault. I’ll generally see very exaggerated, not canonically supported takes on Odin that paint everything he ever did in the worst light possible. To the point where it’s just extremely boring to me. Odin being pure evil is infinitely less interesting than him being gray flawed-but-loving parent. Now I realise a huge chunk of the fandom would love a ‘Loki realizes Odin will never love him and gets over him’ narrative but I find it 1) personally extremely emotionally unsatisfying 2) waaaaay beyond a story that could ever be handled well and with enough nuance by the mcu 3) a bit too not complaint with the first movie and in general with the framing in all of these movies to truly stick the landing.

For example, ppl would often try to turn the information that was stated in canon that ‘Loki got adopted’ into ‘Loki got kidnapped’. The problem with that is that it’s solely based on headcanon. From a Watsonian perspective you can try to argue that Odin could be lying but from a Doylist perspective this is the only time we’re given information on that matter, and if the truth on such a crucial aspect of the story was different then it’d be extremely important to reveal the real truth to the audience at some point, but the writers never do that. Actually there’s a deleted scene found in the script where Loki reveals to Laufey that he’s his son, where Laufey explicitly agrees that he abandoned Loki, calls him weak and ‘a bastard son’. Now this is a deleted scene so it’s not canon, ig we could say it’s soft canon, but either way it gives us insight into the writers’ original intent behind writing the whole script including the vault scene and it presents the more fleshed out version of the story, where such a crucial information as Loki’s origin is indeed double-checked by Loki with the ‘original source’.

Next matter, the writers never thought through the story nearly as much as the fans do. The worldbuilding, history and lore of this world are next to non-existent. We don’t know anything about the Jotun culture, so who knows maybe leaving someone of royal blood in a temple was done for their own protection or maybe it was a sacrifice to their gods or smth, or maybe it has no meaning at all and he was simply left behind anywhere when others were fleeing. Similarly we don’t know anything about Asgardian customs so maybe the party at the end of the movie was smth disrespectful toward Loki’s recent presumed death or maybe it was exactly how they do it. We’re just left to either take the framing at face value even tho the framing is sometimes noticeably faulty or come up with headcanons.

And speaking of that party scene, along with weird assumptions about Asgardian culture I’ve also seen weird reading of Odin’s behavior. Now Anthony Hopkins clearly never cared about this role and in most scenes he barely even moves so I know that probs doesn’t help the perception that Odin the character doesn’t care about what’s happening around him, but we also do get some things out of him like this:

He's shown alone and isolated from the rest, staring blankly at the Bifrost where everybody thinks Loki died and it seems he can barely speak, but that somehow translates into ultimate proof that he’s happy/indifferent that Loki is gone, like ??? Absolutely bizarre takes. I would often see ppl scrutinize Odin’s behavior like this like they’re body language/human behavior “experts” or whatever, as tho it’s not the case that all the characters often appear to be underacting/underreacting when intercut with Loki’s drastic and often very realistic looking displays of emotion. And even with that in mind there’s always enough obvious cinematic language used in those scenes that you can clearly tell the authorial intent. Like you’d think somber music and sad faces and staying away from the party, in contrast to all the partying guests, would make it clear enough that Loki’s family is mourning. But ig they’re not mourning visibly enough for some ppl’s liking.

There’s more scenes like that that really convey the love between all the different family members, but then we also get these confusing scenes like ‘your birthright was to die’ or ‘am I not your mother’ or ‘That hope no longer exists to protect you. You betray me and I will kill you.’ that just kinda happen but then nothing ever gets explained or resolved. Unfortunately it’s likely the writers just think there’s nothing wrong with this kind of behavior and that the characters were justified/right in saying those things. So the fandom’s stuck not being able to just ignore the worst of it, and for me also not being able to ignore all the framing and writing that conveys real love within the family that I want to root for.

In broader strokes I would say the first movie is the most defining for the franchise and the characters and that’s the one that has me rooting for Odin and Loki’s relationship. Then came TDW and it was the real beginning of the end, not TR. This movie was the first that tried to simply sweep under the rug all the interesting drama the previous movies built. They find a way to get rid of Frigga, they get rid of Odin and rush his arc to its end (originally with no intention to bring him back ever again, according to interviews) and they also tried to get rid of Loki for good and rush his arc to its end. Leaving Thor free from having to deal with all the family drama ever again that ig powers that be decided no one wanted to see, until changes were made. With the third movie continuing to axe everything that’s left from the Thor franchise and continuing the task of writing out Thor’s family members, bringing Odin and Loki back, giving them both more flattering conclusions and then killing them off again. And what a pity cos the bones for great arcs for these characters are all there. If only there was a single cohesive vision for the franchise that allowed for continuous cohesive arcs throughout the trilogy.

Anyway, ig I still had some mourning to do for all that development that never happened and that at this point we’re way beyond ever getting.

Hiii bestie🫶🏼💓 hope you’re doing well 💗 my question to you is what’s your personal FAVE looney tunes media to watch?

Lately I have binge watched the looney tunes show twice these past two months 🥺 its probs bc of all the baffy content (they are an old married couple there🥰 ) it’s become my comfort show~ now I’m curious and checking out the older shorts on HBO max, as well as space jam 1 & 2 💓

gahhh how dare you ask me that! It really does depend on my mood. and really, it’s between Looney Tunes Cartoons, Looney Tunes Show, and the OG shorts. Also, Back in Action. I nearly have the script memorized by heart bc put it on as background noise lolol

I’m so happy LTS has become your comfort show! It’s so easy to watch, the domesticity of bugs and daffy’s usual back and forth is so cozy. :D

Please watch the original shorts! They hold up, I promise you. The music, the genius art and animation, the zaniness of it all, its amazing how fresh the humor is decades later. You can feel the passion oozing out of them (well… up until the mid to late 50s… but that’s a discussion for another day)

There’s so many shorts and it can be incredibly daunting, so since bugs and daffy are your favorites I’ll give some of my personal recommendations(saved these from a similar ask on instagram lol):

I’m sorry if these are overwhelming, but for Bugs/Daffy, start with the rabbit seasoning and rabbit fire. For Daffy, start with Duck Amuck, Book Revue and Duck soup to Nuts, My Favorite Duck. And for Bugs, A Wild Hare, The Hare Brained Hyptnotist, and Rabbit of Seville!!

#looney tunes #daffy duck #bugs bunny #baffy #isn’t that lovely? (ask tag) #you sittin there yakkin (talk tag) #as you can see. I am very biased towards specific characterizations of Bugs and Daffy

30 Days of the Cornetto Trilogy Challenge ||  Day 9: Favourite line/quote from The World’s End

As with Hot Fuzz my real answer is “the whole script” including some cut lines of Andy that probs got cut for rhymt but that are good lines BUT well. I thought of putting the “I fucking hate this town” moment but 1) I already draw it many times and also like, it’s more the entire scene than just the line you know. This is also the Fucking Scene of the movie BUT those lines in particular I like them a lot. Like you really feel young Gary thought he could take on the whole universe. It’s just so fucking good this entire scene what can I fucking say. Fucking art. I love this movie.

Day 23 - Discuss Tosh. Opinions? Favorite moment? Least favorite moment? Any unpopular opinions? Any fun headcanons?

tosh my babygirl my princess light of my life angel darling… shes so good. shes so good 🥺 i love her dearly. she’s so damn underutilized i hate how the show regulates her to a supporting role + only uses her for romantic plots. WACK shes so much more than that. i want a plotline about her cyberterrorism like hello??? i want a plotline about her warped little mind.. i want a plotline about her finally learning spanish ;-; that show did not do her justice and it did not deserve her. i often say torchwood’s characters are too good for the show; tosh is probs the best example of that. no other character gets screwed over as badly as she does by the narrative (not even ianto!) she’s so tragic and lonely i just wanna give her the biggest hug ever. 

fav moment… every time she smiles. (or smirks. hrgh. tosh call me.) also every time she geeks out about smth. im tryna think of a specific moment but idk if i have one?? i just love her overall i smile every time she’s on screen she’s my girlie. when i rewatch i might rmr one though

least favorite moment, the absolute only thing i can think of (hell, my only complaint with her as a character other than i wish she’d get over owen cuz bad taste queen pls u deserve sm better) - it’s always bothered me how she goes over to owen’s flat in aditd and just starts babbling about her own problems. she even says something like “you think everything’s about you”, and in that ep it’s like ??? why are they all acting like he’s unjustified being miserable and angry when he's fucking dead?? like they're all so unsympathetic and mean, even tosh, and out of her it's especially weird?? tbh it just strikes me as ooc (+ kind of misogynistic highkey) writing. i mean, by all means, let tosh bitch, she deserves to blow off some steam + esp deserves to be rude to owen tbh fhsdkjfsd, but the way it’s done in that particular moment feels ooc and, like, how men write women as talking too much and never listening lmao u kno what i mean (owen’s tuned out in the actual episode but you can see her full ramble in the original script, on page 23). tosh has never troubled anyone with her issues before, why would she choose now to, and when she knows owen’s struggling? yeah, on second thought, i don’t hold that against her actually, that’s ooc to me fhdkf. thts just the writer being a wiener.

my only unpopular opinions (slash hot takes) are that 1) towen fucking SUCKS get her away from him, and 2) most people like tosh but she’s highkey underappreciated, esp in fanfic, because of fandom racism + misogyny. she’s not bashed like gwen is but she’s ignored completely which is nearly as bad, and a lot of it’s cuz she happens to be in a show with two white men in a gay relationship who are overwhelmingly prioritized 💀 i will never not be petty about the way that ship dwarfs everything else in comparison. also throwing towen into the background of janto is so gross n cheap. if ppl cared abt her they'd do smth more interesting. and it's never well-done either. ugh.

i have a few hcs that are gonna end up in my owento verse (gwen and tosh are prominent characters in it bc i love them, and their relationships w owen and ianto and each other also have value lawl). tbh a lot of em are just things i think they should introduce into their lives to be happier. i want them happy ;-;

she starts coding video games recreationally!! nothing fancy but she rlly enjoys it + also gets into the swing of making little storylines n getting to express herself that way which is good for her. owen playtests shit for her

her and gwen go on spa dates sometimes. they put it on the torchwood credit card

she gets into fish tanks and fish tank care!!! esp like aquarium plants. shrimp and moss balls, that sort of thing. maybe plecos or loaches. she loves it + it’s grounding, which is good for her bc shes otherwise always got her head in her computers yanno. she’ll sit by her tank while she codes her games and the water sounds are calming. 

she also sits by it while she studies her spanish books which she does finally do. she doesn’t get around to the piano, though; doesn’t prioritize buying a keyboard. maybe one day (this is a nobody dies au btw so she will in fact eventually get around to it ;-;)

oh she’s autistic have i said that. the fish tanks absolutely become a spin. she has a few we know of from canon - math and computers, obviously, but also history (gbg) and the uk’s rivers (from gooseberry; i think it was just the uk maybe it was europe’s rivers. or the world’s! i don’t remember). she also loves trivia like she knows a fair amount about quite a lot of things + loves accumulating random info

lowkey also. giving her a kitty. i think tosh should have a lil fuzzy kitty to keep her company 

well this is smth from my owandy verse but i think it should happen anyway. so it kind of kicks off bc gwen mixes up a blind date (it was gonna be tosh & andy and then owen & a friend of hers, but shes an adhd icon n bungles the invites <3)... tosh ends up with gwen’s friend, who’s straight, but they hit it off and she invites tosh to have drinks or maybe come to a bookclub meet or something with some friends of hers?? point is, tosh makes some casual friends. maybe meets a pretty girl there or smth 👁️ but mainly i want tosh to have girl friends like i think she grew up very lonely i want her to have some normalcy

also sometimes i like tosh x andy maybe they have a little meet cute at a torchwood crime scene or smth fshdkfd. i think they’d be cute and he’d treat her well. she'd babble abt tech stuff and he wouldnt understand a damn word but he'd listen very intently

i also like tosh x ianto for similar reasons. i think it’d be a kind of friends to lovers sitch... they should just be close in general tbh, platonically or not yanno, and in my owandy verse i like the idea of smth kicking off between them i just think theyd be so sweet

she’s a very sleepy drunk and also a lightweight. if the team goes out to drink she’ll get two glasses of smth moderately fruity and then fall asleep against someone’s shoulder it’s very cute (this is just cuz i like the idea of a sleepy tosh 🥺 my baby my baby shes so precious to meee)

[phoenix-before-the-flame]

Scar anon again I'm so sorry for sending consecutive asks but mashima really made the coolest dude + team ever (laxus n the raijinshuu in case it wasn't obvious) and then refused to elaborate like???good sir I would have paid for a full series of Them?? The raijinshuu are so criminally underutilised like I want to know their backstories!! I want to know how they came to join fairy tail!!! I start frothing at the mouth everytime I think about how mashima did the raijinshuu so dirty esp during the Tartarus arc ;- ; anyways sorry for the rant it's like 4 am and I'm having many Thoughts ok that's all from me for real this time 👍🏼 peace!

Everything after Tartarus is my villain origin story lol, not even joking. It's so messy.

Im not singing praises for everything before it ofc there was some jank from beginning to gmg but after tartarus' end the story and characterization really seemed to start coming apart at the seams and it really tanked everything even though at that stage mashima's art was 10/10. Which is a shame bcus tartarus really was a step in the right direction tonally but it just stopped right there. Copped a massive W then tossed it out for consecutive L's.

But yea man! Laxus and his squad! Laxus will forever be a sorta sore spot for me because of the dropped Dreyar family plot thread. The whole dealio with Ivan, Makarov sending Gajeel to spy on him, Laxus' lone adventures. It really could've culminated in either a small side arc or a B-plot of an already existing arc

(I personally would add it into Tenrou. Take Gajeel off tenrou to have him doin his spy gig, accidentally meet up with Laxus during that, plot details regarding the dreyar family happen all while the events of tenrou go down. The duo gets wind of Grimoire Heart heading to tenrou from Raven Tail due to all dark guilds sharing info. The duo head over to tenrou post haste and allowing gajeel to carry out the iconic gajevy moment where he saves her and justifying why Laxus ended up on Tenrou instead of just randomly showing up at the nick of time. But alas, details lol)

Thunder Legion's always been interesting to me though. I'll admit i dont think about them often but they are a pretty unique squad with varying personalities across the board that, on paper, you probs wouldn't expect em to be friends, let alone friends that close and loyal to one another.

Their magics are also a main point of interest because it really is so out there. Freed in essence has an upgraded solid script (plus those unused transformations the beast lookin one from fantasia and the more streamlined one from tenrou), Evergreen has the petrification magic (alongside her main magic with the energy attacks) and Bickslow? Soul manipulation? That can't be legal man. The magic system in FT is really underexplained and has a anything goes sorta deal (hello summoning gods) but man, i would've loved something there for these 3- power limits or drawbacks, how it works, whether its magic they naturally manifested or learned or both. Something along those lines.

And while i don't think a backstory would've been necessary for them per se, because at the end of the day they still are side characters so relevancy of the information learned throughout the story dictates how much is really needed to be known and this extends to learning about how they joined the guild as well (i personally think they all joined as adults tbh. I know a lotta peeps like to think of em as a teen friendship squad but i really prefer it they were an adult friend group. Having a friendship that strong forming in their 20s feels right to me), but i think even a one line or 2 regarding their pasts could come up in conversation for that information to come up naturally.

Like for eg. Freed gives off rich kid energy, so perhaps he's a runaway rich kid like herself but not from Fiore, that could be revealed in a convo with Lucy at some point to strike common ground between the two. Evergreen feels like an orphaned soul turned away (i personally think she gives off Jessie from pokemon vibes) by others a lot so why not a kinship with her and Juvia or even Mirajane? Bickslow the wild card could spout jokes about his acrobatic skills he learned from being a street performer, just something. They're not perfect concepts no, but they're little ways the characters could've been given even a scrap of info to help learn more about em.

Also uhhhh, it always threw me off that they weren't all S-class wizards so i think it would've been cooler if they were a whole squad of s class wizards who attempted a guild coup instead of just 1 s class and his homies. Aight byeeeeee.
