#thats why it made so much money

[clownkiwi]

actually you know what, i'll post this anyways

but yea, why would you say the mario movie flopped. it made like. over 10x its budget. nintendo already announced their intentions to make more movies based off their games, the mario movie did extremely well for being a mid video game adaptation that wasnt awful

just because it isnt as "memeable" as morbius or it doesn't show up in ur curated online space as often, didnt mean it bombed

#rubys clown thoughts #i mean yea avatar made over a billion dollars because it had at the time groundbreaking effects. but that was it #the mario movie at least had a little more substance to chew on (keyword being ''little''). plus it was a childrens movie #ofc if a children loves a movie their parents will take them back there as much as possible #thats why it made so much money #im not saying that kids dont deserve better films i just think maybe not everything has to be a metacontexual deep dive into something #for it to be good

this is mean but some people in college seem so unhappy and like they are only there bc pressure from their family, if that was me I'd just drop out (i did drop out my first year bc expenses + the degree i wanted wasnt offered)(im being anti-growth, as usual)

#i guess if your parents pay your tuition its harder to drop out but idk. i truly dont think everyone is made for college #if college was free i probably would go back bc it was fun. but obviously its not free. #txt #if your not even enjoying it and have no direction why even go though? if you enjoy it/have a plan thats different #at least after your first year or two #some people have been in college for years bc their parents want them to get a degree bur they just struggle academically #or are still not sure what degree they want to pursue and how to obtain the career they want after college #some people are in so much debt and seen directionless. i always feel like the evil person saying “Its not to late to drop out!” #maybe its“ sunken cost fallacy”.. the “ive paid so much money/am already here so i might as well finish” #in my opinion its okay to change your mind. you can have stability without a degree. maybe not the best pay jobs but you cn make it out oka #im just saying man. if i still chose to pursue college i think id kms from all the debt #im still paying year one off.. from 6 yrs ago lmao

love (hate) when im Thinking about my childhhod and im like "yeah it was pretty normal and good ithink" and then i fuckingg Rember

#like oh that one wasnt very good ! #personal #<- ish #<- but boy are these tags about to be #this is about the time i didnt respond to my dad's text when i was in the middle of a highschool tour with my sibling #(<- they came with cause why the hell not) #and on the drive back home he went on this rant about how we dont know what money's worth (completely unrelated !) #and he literally told us To Our Faces that it wouldve been better if we werent born ! like sir whose fault is that one !! #and theres definitely more but for once im thankful for my head blocking shit out of my memories #and how hed yell at me for making Basic Fucking MIstakes (once when i was EIGHT i spilt water down the stairs and #he yelled at me for .i forgot how long but too fukcing long #and made me get him to bring my cups downstairs for a month after and then he forgot and yelled at me AGAIN #for asking him to bring my cup down AFTER TELLING ME I HAD TO #and so so much more like . the yelling got so bad that when i twisted my ankle #(only real ones remember) #i was scared of telling him cause i KNEW he'd be like 'do you have any clue how much the doctor's gonna cost blah blah' #and i just . didnt tell him #we used to have money issues and he'd always make me feel like shit for asking for anything that costed money ever #so i just didnt tell him when i was sick or injured or when i needed something cause he would get mad at ME like . hello #AnyWay ! so yeah thats the rundown of some of my severe trauma that still affects me to this day

[astro-inthestars]

YOOOOOOO WE FUCKIN DID IT!!!! YEAHHH!! We slayed SOOO well!! EVERYONE DID!! The other sections were SO FUCKING GOOD i LOVED it!!! And like, we won first place or whatever i didnt care about that really BUT WE ALL DID GREAT!

Anyways, just got home from my pal's birthday party (more like Hang Out at the mall, we ate out) it was AWESOME! First time inside a Starbucks, and first order ALL ON MY OWN! (HELL YEAH RELIGIOUS REBELLION!!)

#rennikorambles #i dont actually KNOW if its rebellion since. i ordered java chip frappucino... and i dunno if that has coffee or anythin- #BUT EITHER WAY im so glad my first time inside a starbucks is with friends <333 #i lost ALL my money <33333 #worth it #i was SO jumpy and excited the whole damn time. just shows how hyped i am around my friends <3 i love those idiots so much #after eating at pizza hut we went to an arcade and I got TWO keychain plushies from the claw machines (SLAY) #one of them i gave as a bday gift to my pal LMAO the other i kept <33 a little wolfy!!! #and then after that they went to starbucks and YEAHHH it was so fun #and then we went to the department store and immediately went to the toy section (which includes games like video games on the ps4/5 etc) #those idiots got One Piece playing cards. nerdddss <33 (me staring longingly at Persona 5 Royal on PS4 for a discounted price. help) #(I CANT GET IT IM NOT A GAMER IM BAD AT GAMES AND AND) #anyways #as for the musical MAN im just so proud. in my opinion the other's did WAY better than our section in terms of song and choreography #but the only one-up we had on them was the fact ours flowed so smoothly with nearly no mistakes #they kept having long pauses when transitioning to the next scene‚ whilst we specifically focused and practiced smooth transitions #thats probably why we had less time for dance choreo and stuff... but either way!!! just SO proud it made my theater heart so happy #and! i learned something about the actual story of El Fili! mAN ITS SO TRAGIC WTF MAN.... MANNNNNN. BRUH... #anyway <333 ALIVE NOW!!! FREE!!!

aight im gunna draw that short Cowboy AU comic snippet that has been sitting in my brain like a moldy piece of bread for 5 months straight then I'll probably start the next section of the Actual Comic™

#itll probably be sketchy and thumbnaily bc theres A Lot and it probably wont reach far so i aint killin myself over it #ALSO the housing update i think i have until the end of february b4 my landlord revokes my rich bitch status sO #thats why imma work on the next section soon but ofc finding a decent place to live is top priority rn #so itll probably take longer but maaaybe the update will be early to mid feb who knows #just know im workin on it lmfao #plus my landlord seemed pretty desperate to keep me last year after the last '''making too much money'' scare so she might be lenient??? #even came up with some sketchy idea to find a loophole for me to stay which made me go 😬 but that being said lmfao #EITHERWAY regardless trying to find a better place to live so thatll take up most of my time

[weirdlizard26]

hmm. being a "talented" and "special" kid and growing up into someone painfully average really does a number on a guy huh

#wl26 #and like i know its not bad to be average. but i WANT to be talented. i WANT to write songs that people cant help but listen #i WANT to be that guy that people listen to and say holy shit how is every new thing they put out this fucking good #and its hard to accept that im not #and this isnt about practice #i can sing. i can play. i can learn to play more instruments. well. if i had the money to buy them and space to store them #but thats irrelevant #i can get more skilled or whatever #and i can learn how it works right. i can learn what about music makes people like it so much #but then its just not gonna matter #because its not mine then #its just. something put together with the sole purpose of being liked by people #rather than something that i made #idk #this is literally such a meaningless problem why am i so upset about this gdkjnfd #wl negative

[mejomonster]

When ppl in person realize i can draw, and i mention im writing, theyre like: oh are you making a comic? Then when i say no, it took me 30 days to do a 30 page 1 chapter comic last time I tried at 4-6 hours of work a day and ideally id like a turnaround of like one 30 page chapter per 1-2 weeks if i was going to do it long term so. No. I am not making comics any more.

Then theyre like: are u gonna illustrate ur book???

And while i deeply appreciate the sentiment. Its also like... well my good sir madam elder, do u typically... look for adult novels with illustration pages? I mean yes i love illustrations too but im not sure why id draw extra, when im already gonna probably make my own cover, and i want my books to be enough within confines of expected that ppl idk... give em a chance? Idk. Food for thought. Do i illustrate my book chapters mm

#rant #shdhdh #to be fair the person who asked me expected like a 100 page handwritten poem book with illustrations #not a 300-500 page novel when she asked if i was gonna do illustrations #i also like. for my Own indulgence. Considered a sexy Guide Book for my story universe. which is where yeah ALL my #goddamn character design sketches and map art and faerie illustrations and landscape art could go #since. i drew thousands of pictures when making lore lmao #but like. all that art is on paper. and i know itll take like 30 hours to 100 hours JUST SCANNING #pages individually one at a fucking time and saving tjem and. dear god the picture editing on them all #even withiut additional digital coloring is at least 5 minutes per picture. then who knows how many hours formatting a combined book with #all art. and thats before ANY text written. which is why i havent even made an art book. like of just art #hell its why i havent even backed up my 9 sketchbooks of traditional art from the past decade #its so much work its like 2000 pages of art. im just gonna let my family ancestors find iy if i get luxky #and its not desyroyed by the elements (like all my older art was ToT) #tldr my point is: i love love love art and i love the momentary joy it brings ppl i share it with #but as far as like Big output i prefer writing. its easier #art is fine wjen its like im paid to make 1 poster 1 flier 1 card one book cover etc #but ive never been commissioned to do like 20 illustrations ( i would tho! sounds like more money) #so like. on my own time for free as far as high scale takes days of work? id prefer to not do more art

thinkin back to the rggo story where mine saves daigo after he gets kidnapped because daigo thought kiryu was in danger and mine immediately scolds him for acting recklessly and daigo’s just ‘no one’s ever stood up to me before aside from kashiwagi’ and how that calls back to daigo’s Y0 substory where kiryu tells him only true friends will stand up to him and put him in his place and im--

#snap chats #'i'm going to be normal' WELL I WAS LYING. LIKE A LIAR. WHO LIES. #ill go in my kitchen in a sec im just. I'm Just. #*gross sobbing* #rgg really made up for Y3's Everything by giving the rggo stories and im so serious about this #people I Am Also A Part Of People complained about not being able to see mine and daigo together much and see their friendship #and.... the rggo stories..... bro theyve been fueling me for months..... im so ill...... #BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH THATS WHY I GET INSANE OVER DAIGO'S Y0 SUBSTORY TOO #like daigo just wanted- NEEDED real friends who would ACTUALLY be there for him for him #not for his status or money or any of that superficial shit #it genuinely makes me happy how dedicated mine is to daigo like No Shit but it's just. *crying* #i love how mine does tell daigo when he fucks up though i love that so much #like mine's such a funny character... he's so cynical yet when he gets the chance to pour his heart out he does #he meant it when he said he didn't take sharing a cup lightly and /i/ want to eat a cup because of it #THIS IS THE SAME SUBSTORY WHERE MINE BUYS A STOCK IN EVERY TAXI COMPANY LIKE DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN #ALL OF THAT JUST TO BE ABLE TO FIND DAIGO #dear god dont get me started on the hamazaki/mine rggo story. oh my god it's THAT but 10 billion i'm going to throw up #i'm just. i HAVE to go into my kitchen or i'll end up typing another essay jesus CHRIST #LIKE AGAIN I FEEL LIKE IM NOT SAYING WHAT I WANT OR GETTING MY POINT ACROSS BUT AAAA #i just need everyone to know i AM still ill over them i just havent had time or many ideas to sit and draw/write something

watching taopib after having had watched the last wish is rlly interesting bc it makes you wonder if puss's time in san lorenzo might have affected him later down the line ( for better or for worse )

an example would be what if his 4th death ( ie the dumbell death ) was influenced/a result of him being insecure about how he wasnt the muscle of the operation ( The Muscle episode ) so he decided to go and get super jacked and ends up dying as a result

#i also think some of his commitment issues might have stemmed from having to leave san lorenzo #particularly him having to leave dulcinea #along with other factors #like him thinking commitment and retirement are synonymous with eachother #also! i think i mentioned this once but i think one of the reasons he was super standoffish to perrito outside of the canon reasons #was bc perrito reminded him of toby #toby walked so perrito could run #ALSO ALSO #i wonder what happened to el guante blanco post taopib #like is he dead? probably #i would pay so much money for a tlw netflix series that involves revisiting san lorenzo #i mean thats why i made a whole au for it #cosmic chatz #the adventures of puss in boots

sooooo in my feelings, inside baseball type shit about new mm turtle show annoucement (oh yeah. just the show itself? been there. 5 stages of grief about it. justice for rise etcetc). cause collectively. the show runners have collectively worked on.... 3 of the 4 turtle cartoon shows (i assume getting someone still in the biz from 87 would be a bit harder lol).

and. like. okay... they are both EXTRORDINARILY accomplished, aside from their turtle priors obviously making them. lol. qualified i guess. BOTH have done things I personally ADORE, in and out of turtle shows. just. I fucking hate the company that is incontrol of the art i love that its completely WITHIN me now. lol. and im just so ready to deal with the bullshit of that yknow.......

#some shit #turbles... #JUST. like i could not think of a way that feels more like. we need this to be a good Turtle Show that will Make Us Money. #and gee lol wonder why i have that kind of feeling. #but whatever. just cause it isnt breaking the mould doesnt in anyway mean it will be bad. #like i mean that like. [holding the little claymation looking faces] there is nothing you could ever do that would make me love you anyless #wellllll there not real and frankly there IS. but also want i mean is these stories and characters mean so much to me #in all there myriad form EVEN when theres just. no two ways about it. Bad Ones. #because there is so much fan creation and distrubition simply like. the simple Joy of Making something. even and specially when making with #what someone else has made b4 u..... #well anyway. super curious what tv version will look like also. given translation of cinematic theatrical animation to television..... hmm #KAY thats me off the soap box gottaaaaaa. go do smth else #insight baseball in fannish sense. im not in the fucking industry. duh. whatever. PENDATISM ALSO OVER

ok well I'm not gonna eat dinner per usual cuz they put the rice away and moms gonna be so mad if i made anything else or ate bc it's late at night and she wants to go to bed even though I'll clean it. i just fucking hate when i cook something instant like iKNOW that's unhealthy but would you rather I'd make a full course fucking meal? you rather i cook eggs and clean the pan too? do you wanna comment on everything i do and how it's unhealthy? how i oversleep? how i never do my homework why I'm constantly sluggish why i skip meals?

#spoiler its because im a picky eater apparently and like to make my own meals #which is why when they cook im the first consultant bc they scream and tear their hair out if i didnt eat the food bc thats extra leftovers #and more money spent. i dont think its a burden but yea im a shit for that #idk how to fix it though. its why im taking cookery as a course to learn how to clean kitchens and bathrooms better #its just idk. i dont know if im really that picky an eater or if its cuz im selfish #even if its food i like now i just get a snack and go upstairs its really bad #but i dont know how to stop it #i used to get really bad hunger pangs and when i was in the hospital it became physically painful to eat food #so much so i wish id never need to eat to live again #after i got better i made sure to eat regularly but im going back to that again #speak iza #vent tw #god i dont know what else i was gonna say i should probably speedrun my homework tomorrow

everyone who stopped playing pkmn games after gen 6 was so right for it. why does scarlet/violet look so BAD

#.text #'you can go wherever you want!!!!' okay but what makes this game fun. '.......you can go wherever you want!!!!!' #okay. okay fine but what m 'You Can Go Where You Want.' #open world exploration is a gem in of itself but pokemon games arent. about. exploring. especially considering theyve #not once shown any indication that theyre including what made arceus so successful in that regard #like if youre going to take something that people loved and put it in another game you CANNOT take away what made that thing fun!!! #and the story looks boring to all hell so THAT isnt going to bring anything to the table! the new power up is just mega evolution but #less fun and Sparkly now. theyre doing the literal bare minimum except if the bare minimum was a bar lower than the earths crust #fuecoco im so sorry youre stuck in this game.... #the winning aspect of swsh was that the characters were really fun to have around -- however scarlet/violet #just looks like an amalgamation of what the past games were successful with but only if they looked at the surface of WHY they were #successful at all. not to mention theyre only looking at sun moon & sword shield for that inspiration #bw was successful bc the story FUCKED. the characters were good the music was good and the bad guys were #satisfying to beat the shit out of. its much the same for silver gold and dp. #sun moon was fun bc the story was ALSO fun and the characters were good and made fighting them genuinely fun #and feel like. Fun. like it felt Fun to battle your rivals in that game. i rlly didnt like the trial aspect of the game at all #but some ppl did and thats fine. but what made those fun for people is that it was like. an actual mini puzzle or whatever #and what scarlet/violet has shown this far is like. 'yeah we're kinda just putting together whatever' and. sigh #i dont wanna hate this game bc its not even out yet but gamefreak continually has shown they dont care for their playerbase or #actually making anything thats worth anyones time or money. they just make cashgrabs in order to get the money because #its POKEMON. of course its gonna be hyped up and bought regardless of whether its good or not. #nothing theyve shown has been genuinely captivating save for the short lived hype of Oh Shit New Pokemon #its depressing. #anyway #pkmn

the johnny depp and amber heard trial having the most disappointing verdict ever i don’t even know why i’m surprised by it

#with the intense misogyny in our society that verdict was practically guarenteed #no amount of evidence that johnny abused amber no amount of proof that johnny ruined his own career #could change that fucking jury’s opinion. you know why? because misogyny trumps logic #it doesn’t matter if you have all of the proof in the world it doesn’t matter if you were the perfect person #it doesn’t matter if you have all of the money and power and privilege you can get in the world #if you’re a woman seeking justice that’s enough to be deemed guilty how fucking horrifying is that #that evil violent bastard knew what he was doing when he made the trial televised and sued her in virginia #he knew that if he could weaponize misogyny against her and spread his propaganda to a public with no critical thinking #then he could win this trial and thats exactly what he did #im just sick thinking about what this future looks like for other abuse survivors #if a wealthy white woman can’t win then imagine what the odds are for women of color black woman trans women all marginalized people #and oh man that jury I know when you knock on their heads it echoes cause that verdict made no sense #just completely contradicted themselves what the hell were they thinking? #I don’t know theres so much I could say I just can’t put my frustration into words right now
