Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Country of the Musketeers

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #country of the musketeers #scenery #my gif #this world is so yellow that i actually had to tone one of these down a bit #lots of interesting statues in this world #some are weird animal characters as you'd expect but the rest are just anime girls lol

"Oh, Dubbed animes are the same as the dubbed animes! You can watch either one, you'll be watching the same thing!"

Newer anime MIGHT BE MORE ACCURATE in the dub, sure! But older anime? No. Some hot localized and mistranslated so bad, they are completely different.

Newer anime fans, I beg of you, WATCH YU-GI-OH. WATCH BOTH THE ENGLISH DUB AND THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE. OH, HOW ABOUT YOU WATCH THE SEASON THAT NEVER GOT AN ENGLISH DUB! SEASON 0! In which we see some pretty gruesome shit, especially those last few episodes with Bakura, where Yami Bakura literally stabs the sharper parts of the millennium ring into Bakura's chest! Oh, and stabs his hand on a DND castle.

I'm so serious, the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh took out SO MUCH. They cut at least 40 Episodes! The Shadow Realm wasn't even a fucking thing in the original! You just straight up died! Never forget that Marik developed DID from extreme trauma because his father carved a tattoo into his back with a burning knife! Amongst so much more.

How about Yu-Gi-Oh GX! Where 4!Kids literally took out the LGBT+ rep! And 40+ episodes to boot, an entire season that gave context to Yubel and Jaden's relationship! How about the fact the protag is bi or pan, is poly, and has a NONBINARY LOVE INTEREST AND A MALE LOVE INTEREST! Oh, don't forget, they made the nonbinary Duel Monster spirit a female in the English dub.

I'm begging you, PLEASE, if you're going to watch older anime, especially those dubbed by 4!Kids, just watch the original Japanese instead. It is NOT the same thing.

#ive seen this sentiment around a lot lately #and as someone who grew up on #the japanese yugioh #they are NOT the same #AT ALL #Especially with how the english dub #just toned things down #anime #ygo #yugioh #sub vs dub

This fanart sure has a lot of green in it

Through a stick

* Animatronics cassie and Roxy/Roxanne wolf both fight the wolf programming in there systems *

Yeah lmao

Not sure if that'd carry over to Cassie though. If Cassie is a human girl turned animatronic then her thoughts, feelings, instincts, etc. won't have changed that much I don't think? They wouldn't need to program anything really except basic things that allow her to control her body and stuff so I dunno if she'd get many Dogisms

Roxy is fucked though. Anyone that snitches about the effects a squeaky toy has on her brain will die. And be completely deafened by Roxy squeaking said squeaky toy to death whilst running around at full speed. A squeaker will give her the zooms and they're so fucking difficult to contain. She can't stop them. She can only prolong the inevitable. And she can only do it for so long before she snaps, grabs the squeaky thing with her teeth and zooms.

I love Roxy's Dogisms they're very fun

#i love all of their animalisms #they add such interesting dynamics to everyone #some of them have such strong animal traits while others have much weaker ones #there's a full spectrum here #roxy happens to have VERY strong animalisms #and so does chica! #it's a problem for all of them that i haven't factored into everything epse just yet #i haven't talked about their animalisms for a while and some of their backstories are gonna have to change now #which means several animalisms either have to be toned down or dealt with in different ways #chica in particular is a bit of a hurdle there #i suppose it all depends on how big a gap there is between them in terms of age #cause it's SIGNIFICANTLY smaller now #hmmmmmmmm #i can probably keep most of it it'd just need some big tweaks #chica is such an interesting one for animalisms #roxy less so but that's mostly because she's my blorbo and I've thought about it a lot already #but yeah all their animalisms are fun!! very interesting!! they add a nice little touch of depth to them i think! #fun stuff i think! #pop rox answers

I started reading the original TMNT comics by Eastman and Laird and I gotta say, I didn't expect the 2003 series to be the most faithful adaptation.

#a lot of the more explicitly violent stuff is toned down and the order of events is shifted for pacing #but there are a lot of shots that are pulled straight off the panel #dialogue too #it's very interesting #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2003 #peter laird #kevin eastman #comics #animation #nostalgia #cartoons #2000s

[fatbitchneedsfoodbadly]

Across the Spiderverse was truly amazing. But are we not gonna talk about how utterly migraine-inducing the animation was? That opening 2 minutes was so much I almost had to walk out. If you are physically sensitive in any way, I highly suggest seeing it in the lowest res possible, including waiting until it's steamed/dl-ing online

#like i get that the animators really out their foot into the style #but was there no way to tone it down? #i don't have epilepsy and I'm not particularly sensitive to flashing #but by the end of the movie i was stumbling out of the theater #now in the movies defense i saw the Dolby experience #so that probably contributed a lot to how dizzying it was #but the first movie wasn't nearly as bad! #spiderman atsv #no spoilers

in a world where the last of us show is able to get away with bill and frank's relationship being as explicit as it was (and will likely do so again with ellie and riley when they get to the left behind content), rwby has no excuse for dragging its feet on bumblebee beyond that miles and kerry just don't give a solitary fuck.

I haven't seen the show yet (too deep in Devil May Cry lol) so I can't say anything concrete, but I did watch playthroughs of it back in the day. In 2013, the most the developers could do for gay rep was a joke via the male model magazine

You know what the bees remind me of? Korrasami. That hand hold in the finale was gay enough to get the 4th season banned to the shadowrealm (streaming only). In 2014. Before gay marriage was legalized. That was revolutionary

Say what you will about Bryke - I sure have and will - but they did care enough about this to fight their bosses. Because of them taking that first step, we have more explicit queer rep like Steven Universe, She Ra, and Owl House

Crwby does not have the excuse of it being 2014. The v6 bees hand hold came in 2018, 3 years after gay marriage was federally approved. They do not have bosses they have to fight tooth and nail against for a kiss or wedding. Some of their members consist of the highest positions of power within the company!

V6 and onward primed the stage for a bees confession or kiss, but neither Blake nor Yang have even admitted they like girls. If crwby wanted bees to be canon, they would make bees canon, but they don't so they haven't

#rwde #honestly im still fucking pissed abt how people treated rebecca sugar during and post show #su isnt perfect and does have its own issues but dammit sugar fought for that rupphire wedding #their show got jerked in so many ways bc their bosses wanted them to tone down the gay #and as a reward the fanbase yells and kicks and screams at her bc the show ended abruptly #this poor person put their heart and soul into this show and got a fucking knife in the back #this happens to queer creators and queer creators only #every problem the studio creates by trying to fuck over queer projects is attributed to the person trying their fucking best #like high guardian spice. its a bad show yeah but lots of the problems came from behind the scenes #also people go after its creator like fucking animals. jfc guys its a cartoon not a hit list #it just sucks that cishets are forgiven time and time again for lackluster at best rep while queer creators are being actively hunted #thanks for asking #anon hours

"The transition from stage girl to servant wasn't a very difficult one, actually - I think they're quite similar ! Both involve fights to death....but one has men and monsters in it!"

#she's being lighthearted but like #the orginal starlight manga was just literally about high school lesbians fighting each other for fame with deadly weapons #they toned it down in the anime and in the game its a lot more about fighting monsters #BUT STILL #Mei Fan [ Heart as Warm as a Hearth ] #open starter tag tbd

One of the fan casts I’ve seen a lot is Hunter Schafer as Zelda. Thoughts?

image for reference because i had to google who hunter schafer was

i could back it? she'd definitely be able to pull off like. oot or twilight princess zelda (by looks alone i haven't seen her act) really depends on what they're doing story wise. but ultimately i don't particularly care what the actor looks like as long as they are believably link or zelda to me and i just. don't think the kind of "major hollywood actors" that people toss around when talking about it could really have that effect because they're too recognisable? if that makes any sense. also a bit of a tangent but i don't know if i WANT the zelda movie to adapt an existing game or a new one, though if i had ti guess it'll adapt something connected to botw/totk and that timeline if it is in any way tied to a game because nintendo is generally trying to move away from the 'traditional' zeldas so to speak

for context this is the hypothetical cast in the article i was reading earlier:

like i respect timothee but i think seeing him as link would just make me laugh. he's a perfectly good actor i just don't vibe with this. mr. holland. can we be serious here. respect the inclusion of dev patel and steven yeun but i think this would only work in a post-oot movie that was a tragic retelling of what happens to the hero of time / an exploration of the effect of All That. which won't happen but i think they could pull it off. we're very much dependent on how old link and zelda will be but if i HAD to pick from this list i'd say aramis knight (in ms marvel) because he's not as immediately recognisable and also he's around the right age for Link That Lives In My Head

moving to the zeldas. florence pugh are you KIDDING me. again i respect her i think ms pugh is very talented. but i don't think i'd want her to play zelda. ultimately it comes down to the fact that link and zelda are almost always teenagers and i want the movie to lean into that. especially because AGAIN this won't happen but i would like an examination of the impact of being declared Saviour Of The Entire World at approximately 12-17 years old. though i guess this could also work with an adult link and zelda but that would lean towards more of a drama than a Big Action Fantasy which is what this will be. zendaya again can we be serious i don't think this would work. personally i'd go w/ kathryn newton or stephanie hsu on this list tbh. or hunter schafer i think she'd be a pretty good choice on vibes alone but ive never seen her in anything (euphoria?)

the article also included these as cast possibilities for minor characters and when i tell you some of them made me choke on my water

i respect natasha lyonne as navi because that could be funny. the others are just. really. something

sorry this answer was super long and also not coherent i should inform you that i am running on approximately 2hrs sleep today. so. but if anyone wants to further discuss zelda PLEASE do i am going through a mini phase rn

also as a second tangent. my ideal zelda plots:

skyward sword zelda during her time on the surface because you could have some REALLY good conflict between her goddess side and her human side and the way she slowly realises she has to manipulate link

zelda becoming sheik in oot!!

my roommate pointed it out the other day but i haven't been able to stop thinking about it since: majora's mask stop motion movie in the style of gdt's pinocchio. directed of course by mr Fucked Up Fairytale del toro himself

#imagine with me. deku link animated the same way #the last one is my favourite zelda movie concept. bc i think gdt would nail the tone and themes of majora's mask #neon answers #anonymous #ive been zelda posting a lot today because i Miss. my zeldas #fi would be weird to cast id prefer it if she was just. animated #like id prefer if the whole movie was animated but #also i don't think fi will appear beyond references if i'm completely honest. same thing with botw/totk #jeff goldblum tingle. imagine this for a moment #he COULD pull off twilight princess tingle tbh #i think if i wanted them to adapt a game skyward sword's got the strongest story for me #we've got emotional intrigue. a good starting point for the introduction of Iconic Things. wouldn't be any zora or anything but #also i LIKE skord and i want to see link cry when zelda seals herself away on my cinema screen #+ i think there's potential for further exploring zelda's side bc you couldn't just. film the dungeons #i think in terms of making a movie botw/totk will lend themselves best to 1:1 transfer #even if they don't really Have a story and the calamity storyline has already been done. the 4 dungeons would cut down Link Running Errands #i just don't think a game can be adapted because you'd essentially lose a lot of the plot points due to runtime #so i think it'll be original. probably something to establish the botw / totk timeline fully so nintendo can stop worrying about the other #games etc. sorry that was me being cynical but. anyway this has been a lot of rambling #again. 2hrs sleep. but feel free to drop more asks my way i love talking about zelda #zeltik has a video rn abt the potential for mocap/heavily cgi zelda movie and like. sigh #i WANT something like the dnd movie with its practical effects i DON'T trust cgi to look that good in current conditions #there's exceptions but are they really gonna make that much of an exception for the zelda movue

[youve-doomed-us-all-jerk]

stranger things animated series?? i'm closing the door made by flying bark and the guy who made glitch techs though???

#ill open it a little #not a lot #tho with this monkie kid moon girl i really hope the studio isnt stretching itself too thin like mappa and mir sometimes does :s #also flying bark such a weird choice for this world?? either theyre gonna tone it down 50% of their usual stuff or #they going full mob psycho with how they do all the psychic powers n shit lmao #also not a diss on st its more a 'only franchises n ips r getting animated capitalism ' stuff lmao

[bmpmp3]

a lot of anime opening single b-sides get kinda overlooked but Everyone Should Listen to the b-side of fabiniku’s opening Refrain this song has been consuming my mind for the past 48 hours LIKE listen to it

the weirdass white noise/ darth vader breathing noise in the beginning and the quiet parts, the jazzy drums in the verses, guitar riffs that will make any dad who listens to too much classic rock air guitar his heart out, the vocals at around the 3:20 mark, the fantastical synth melody, THE FLUTE ASS SOUND are you listening to me are you listening to the FLUTE? the WOODWIND INSTRUMENT in the ‘refrain... refrain... refrain...” sections and the DISTORTION on the “refrain“s in the final seconds LISTEN TO ME listen to the woodwind instrument

#i havent actually watched this show (i've seen a couple clips tho!) but 1) im a big fan of anison in general like #there's a bajillion anime ops and eds i straight up know NOTHING about but i just like the tune or maybe a seiyuu i like sings it lol #and 2) i HAVE read the manga (its fantastic) and i do this like weirdass thing #or maybe its not weird? it might be normal. getting me to watch a television show is an exercise in futility #so whenever im interested in an anime i just read the manga or light novel if there is one #and then i just... look up the music for the anime later JKFKDSLJFLKDS i like tunes!!! #in practice i usually get a similar or somethings even better experience than the anime watchers #but sometimes some animes source material is like REALLY BAD and the anime basically toned down everything that sucked #so a totally different experience in some cases..................... BUT luckily it seems fabiniku is not one of those #i thought the manga was great at least. i get it now. i understand isekais #i always understood modern isekais in theory but in practice i couldnt quite get there #i was too stuck in proto isekais like old shoujo manga isekais or early mmo isekais so this new reborn in another world style #confused me a lot. i figure it was just wish fulfillment that wasnt for me. but fabiniku... i understand now #who knew the way to get me to fully deeply and completely understand isekais was to make the main character lgbt (every letter at once) #actually that makes sense like i love characters that have clear defined identities a lot BUT #i dont connect deeply with them the same way i do with characters like tachibana hfkjdsdfjkds which is fine!! its good to have both #types of characters because some people connect more with defined labels and some connect more with ambiguity (me lol) #and both are always interesting to read about either way~ #anyway. fabiniku is absurd and hilarious and has one of my favourite romantic relationships ive seen in a manga ever thank you and goodnight

[flammedoudoune]

Took me a while to see why noone sems to be normal about Berserk, but I get it now.

#it’s because i started with the anime and it toned a lot of things down compared with the manga #i only started getting really into it in the like… 5 last episodes #i’m catching up with the manga now #it’s ruining me but it’s good #berserk

[g0reoz]

hm! i don’t think staying up until 11 running beyburst manga screenshots through waifu2x was on the itinerary for tonight !!

#*picks up manga!everyone* these bad boys are so fuckin scrungly #i want to hold them up by the nape of their neck like baby animals. is that like a thing anyone else ks #*is experiencing #goddamn who thought putting the enter key by the delete key was a good idea lmao #anyways. yeah hiro morita sure knows how to make some guys that are Shaped #especially losing my shit over manga!gwynn and kensuke and xhaka. and maybe also phi. character designs of all time <3333 #i do think the whole thing they did with the anime adaptation of xhaka was funny though. like. shoot this bitch with the uwu gun !!!! #i guess they did it with everyone to some extent bc the anime’s art style is just Like That. but this was a super noticeable a #*case of it and i think they mentioned Deliberately Toning It The Fuck Down. lmao #idec i think the manga design was kinda cute. give me that meme template but put ‘baby boy. baby.’ on the top AND bottom #they also kinda made shuu less of a :/ >:| type vibe. which once again alright cool whatever BUT. i think we shouldn’t ignore the value of- #-manga!shu either. #idk i’ve had a lot of thoughts abt this for Awhile but never rly posted abt the manga so!! yeah! #*kicking my legs and scrolling through my camera roll but it’s just beyburst manga panels* #.woof. #beyburst

good morrow freaks

i finished reading howls moving castle and all i can think about is:

holy shit this fuckers from fuckin wales?!

you're telling me the howl is a fucking brit?!

#i mean this in the most loving way it just shocked me #it's always the pathetic british men #also kinda sad the movie toned down a lot of the sofie and howl banter... #i need to see them verbally rip eachother apart in ghibli animation #oh to be a dramatic brit in a fantastical world...

[himbopunk]

anyways. it's not like i can afford it rn anyways so it's up in the air, but i'm looking to try to table more. i'm caught between trying to focus on digital art / prints / stickers and do artist alley type stuff or if i should focus more on chokers and jewelry and accessories and try for vendors hall spots?

#there'd probably be like. idk. #if i did vendors hall i'd probably try to include art stuff Somewhat #but a lot of cons have rules about one vs the other #(specifically an anime con i saw said you Can do fanart stuff in artist alley but not in vendors hall) #meanwhile i think the diy stuff would be toned way the fuck down if i did artist alley #i still probably mostly make original art either way but at an anime con it seems pretty hard too suddenly do No fanart at all #especially since i feel like. pretty small fish as an artist ykwim #daze.txt
