Okay so here's a spoilery rant so warnings for that.

Go no further if you want to avoid spoilers.

Why is Izzy being portrayed like a victim? He is the dude who sold them all out to the English, his betrayal started this whole thing. He is also the guy who sent Ed on a fucking downward spiral. He got the "real Blackbeard" that he wanted and he should suffer the consequences. I feel absolutely no sympathy for him and I don't understand why anyone one the crew gives a fuck about him either.

chapter 31 is outlined

- Kit wakes up on top of the truck she was pushed onto, it’s snowing and the bitch is pissed and sore

- Staci’s torture vid still gets played for the county to eat popcorn to. except Staci’s torture isn’t just starvation anymore, he’s undergone further conditioning and is now doubly nuts and twice as committed to the cult and to all the Heralds (including Kit) *needed the opening for Judge!Staci in the New Dawn AU*

- Kit breaks in to save the poor brown eyed baby boy, and offers a prisoner exchange, but Staci begs to stay with Jacob and make himself useful and worthy of entering the Herald’s gate

- Kit goes to execute Eli (offering to do it without the use of the music box, girl is nothing but devoted) and in her state kills the two militia members who try to stop her

The Super Mario Movie is an Entertaining Speedrun

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a highly anticipated animated filmed made by Illumination and backed by Nintendo themselves in order to prevent another Super Mario Bros. 1993 film disaster from keeping them from bringing their IPs to the big screen. Initial reactions were mixed on the casting, from negatives (Mario) to positives (Bowser), but upon watching the film in my local theatre, I’d say Chris Pratt was fine, even with the tease with the iconic falsetto tone near the beginning of the film with the commercial. Jack Black on the other hand, absolutely kills it as Bowser, even gets his own musical number.

The pacing of the movie is--as I said--basically a speedrun beginning from the journey to the Mushroom Kingdom with barely any breathing room for the characters to interact. Mario barely just met Princess Peach and the two were already fast friends throughout the film. On the other end of the spectrum, Donkey Kong and Mario’s rivalry is a bit natural as they occasionally butt heads at each other while not stomping Bowser’s troops. Luigi, I feel that he could do a little more in the film, being stuck in the cage in Bowser’s castle for 1/3rd of the movie’s runtime before having his big moment with Mario near the end of the film. It’s a shame, but Charlie Day is a great Luigi.

The beginning of the film does a good job portraying the Mario Bros.’s humble beginnings as plumbers in Brooklyn, NY, and showing their brief relationship with their family. It does touch up upon Peach’s origin, seeing that she’s not a native of the Mushroom Kingdom, but my biggest gripes about it is the absence of Toadsworth, Peach’s longtime caretaker, debuting in Super Mario Sunshine. I get that Toadsworth hasn’t been in any appearances in future Mario games as of late, but the best Nintendo and Miyamoto could do is at least remember him. The second oddity of the film is the relationship of Mario and the Kongs--namely Cranky Kong. As you know in the games, Cranky Kong is the Donkey Kong who Mario (as Jumpman at the time) fought to rescue Pauline--who makes a brief cameo in the film--during his time as a carpenter. Cranky in the movie does not recognize Mario, either he is senile, or a different Jumpman fought him and the current Donkey Kong as the film established DK as his son.

The visuals for the movie is what I expected for a big budget animated film by Illumination: stunning, with a lot of visual easter eggs only hardcore Nintendo fans will get, me included. However, the use of slo-mo in some part of the action can be a bit overdone and break the immersion.

Finally, the music. Overall, you can hear familiar Mario tunes throughout the movie arranged and orchestrated to fit the mood of certain scenes. However, there are also some licensed music that I feel are unnecessary as the familiar video game tunes are fine enough by themselves.

All in all, my final score for the Super Mario Bros. Movie is a 7.5/10. Sure, the pacing is not for everyone, and not everyone who isn’t a gamer will get the references, but it’s does what it do as an entertaining kids movie. I don’t expect it to be a total blockbuster and win critic’s heart, but as a Nintendo fan since childhood, I loved every second of it.

My thoughts on Chapter 6 of "OSS - Punishment"

~Spoilers Ahoy~

Huh, so Kiril's knife was Grim the End after all, guess that explains the gold color and the green light from the explosion(green being Wrath's color).

Also when did Climb One started acting like [Punishment]? No pun intended lol

Latest train wreck of a show I can't exactly recommend, but it's compelling and amusing. The Boys It's a shit show. Definitely check DoesTheDogDie well before ever touching it. (seriously. there's heavy stuff that a lot of viewers will want to avoid) But if you're looking for bastardy bastards doing bastard things and then having a bad day? Yeah it's that sorta show. Points that do recommend it:

The acting (evil superman's actor in particular delivers a chilling performance throughout)

It's funny (really it is)

The characters are interesting.

i am. thinking about the twin towers being shown in death note

#spoilers ahoy #txt #episode 26 during one of light's ''i am the god of the new world'' monologues #google death note twin towers for screenshots #like. my immediate thought was that that might be a subtle explanation as to why light didn't kill anyone from al-qaeda or w/e #but that's probably my americanness talking. i have no reason to think al-qaeda would've been on light yagami's radar #<- brand new sentences #but like. zooming out a bit. once or twice‚ it's mentioned that there's no war anymore bc people are afraid of kira #implying that kira would kill world leaders if they started conflicts #but. light is never shown doing that??? i don't think he ever went after any political figures at all???? #he killed off fbi agents and spk‚ but only bc *they were a threat to him*. not to anyone else #demegawa is a special case. and also came later #he killed takada and mikami bc they weren't of use to him anymore #point being. he didn't kill political leaders *for actually doing bad shit* #something something cops dont actually care about improving society they just serve to keep the proles in check or whatever #obv actual policing is more complicated than that. this is a tag rant on a tumblr post when i should be doing other things.

Astarion final endgame conversation: "you're precious to me, I don't want to lose you"

"I hope we can find a place for love in our new whatever this is"

"You mean too much to me to just walk away"

Astarion, six months later APPARENTLY: yeah I still think of you sometimes too, it's too bad things didn't work out for us but oh well what can you do. So how've you been these past six months! Let me tell you all about my standard friendship ending, since we haven't seen each other since, uh... that conversation where we agreed to try and work things out and I said I wouldn't walk away from you.

Cheers, Larian.

I’m a little obsessed with this one particular shot from the new trailer.

To me, this vague lump of…something is shaped like the hill where The Cabin is located, with the two pine trees framing it.

However, in the trailer shot, there is no cabin.

That’s a big deal, because there’s always a cabin.

In every route, there are constants that don’t change no matter what choices you make. There’s always a cabin at the top of a hill in the woods. There’s always a knife placed on the table near the door to the basement. There’s always a shackle on the Princess’ left hand. There’s always the Princess, the Narrator, and You.

And there is always a cabin. In the Stranger route, every single parallel universe the Narrator could possibly create has the exact same cabin on top of that exact same hill. There’s never not a cabin on top of that hill.

So, is this the point in time where the Princess says, “Days mean nothing in the maw of forever?” By that, does she mean it’s been so long and so many loops have passed that even the Narrator is no longer tracking the finer details, and the cabin along with the landscape eventually unravels and falls away?

Is this a point in time before there was ever a cabin, much less a path or any woods? A point where the Narrator was still in the process of creating this closed, isolated little narrative to safely contain the Princess (and, by extension, You) inside?

Or could it be that the cabin is there, just in a place or state that we can no longer see it? Is the trailer shot representing a version of the world that’s faded into an Impressionistic outline of what it was intended to be? Or are those brush strokes and textures actually…hair…?

Is the Princess the landscape? Is that what she meant by “I never left your side?” Is this what “ending the world” looks like?

I mean, one of the constants the Narrator has imposed upon this world is that the Princess is always in the cabin. However, we haven’t seen all possible permutations of “in the cabin” that follow that rule. The Princess can still technically be in the cabin even if a vast majority of her is spilling outside of it, burying it beneath a mound of hair and flesh in a way that makes its interior, the knife, and her vulnerable heart inaccessible to us. After enough loops, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Princess eventually came to represent so many different concepts in our mind that she’d eventually grow to encompass the whole world, no longer resembling a “Princess.”

However, there’s also the question of whether this is the Princess taking over the world that the Narrator created, or whether this is the landscape reverting to its original form as the Narrator’s grip on the story begins to loosen when it becomes too complex and unpredictable for him to control. If “I never left your side” applies to every loop, even the very first one, then that means that the Princess doesn’t become the landscape so much as she always was the landscape. It’s just that the Narrator put a veneer of separation from the Princess onto the world to make the entity that it is small, limited, and easy to subdue.

What, then, does that mean for You? Are you another invader, whether a real person from outside or a literary construct the Narrator pulled from thin air? Or are You, too, a part of the Princess, ripped away from her body and deluded into believing you were a separate entity?

Is that the purpose of the mirror? Is the Princess merely a reflection of You, a funhouse mirror image mimicking your desires and actions because she is doomed to be eternally defined by your perceptions and can’t take physical shape without You observing or even thinking about her? Or is it that You are her reflection, her distorted mirror image, who she must bring back into herself in order to become truly whole again and escape?

Hands down one of my favourite details in Across the Spiderverse is the fact that when Parvitr refers to his aunt may he puts her name first.

the line is “…have chai with my Maya Auntie”

Maya Auntie not Aunt Maya

Maya Auntie

and can I tell you my heart screamed with joy

this this is how us south asians refer to our aunts and uncles related or non related

and I love that they actually adhered to that

#Also the fact he smushed the two words together to make mayauntie that is also a very south Asian thing #across the spiderverse spoilers #ahoys thoughts #pravitr prabhakar #atsv #atsv details #Spider-Man across the spiderverse #Spiderman India #spiderman across the spiderverse #south Asian rep #South Asian representation #THE SRILANKAN IN ME OH GOD

Oh I didn't even TALK about Ed encouraging Stede to use his "angry Captain voice", like he's literally trying to get Stede to order him around. He wants to be dominated by Stede so bad, I can't even deal with it.

Frenchie telling Stede to shut up was the cherry on top, just in case you forgot the walls were thin as shit on The Revenge. Good luck getting your bf to boss you around while getting heckled by the crew/peanut galle--sorry Frenchie.
