i cant even apologize for tg posting i really cant…. the brainrot is perpetual…. i just watched tg & tgm back to back for 8hrs today so it’s spiking this week in particular
me watching the new fallout series: idk about this ghoul, i think they tried to make him too good looking of a monster, idk if it's working for me
*they show a flashback of this character pre-ghoul*
also me: oh no he's much hotter as a ghoul, his pretty ghoul face is growing on me -pause in realization, turn to my partner- omg i'm such a monster fucker i'm so sorry
my partner, sitting next to me: i made my peace with this long ago...
i have come here to personally thank you for giving me more than i asked for 🙏🏻 i am utterly grateful like IDJFKDKKFODOD 🧎♀️🧎♀️🧎♀️ it made me so happy the last doodle has my heart he is so cute i will eat him
also there is a DROUGHT out there for us noritoshi fans like im living on CRUMBS its insane and omg dont even talk to me abt how it feels like to be a kashimo and ino lover (altho they are getting a bit more love now) my nori is still underrated :/ sooo hence im asking ur hand in friendship and in exchange i promise to share my hcs with you abt nori my sweet lil meow meow we're in this together 💪🏻💪🏻
also since its October, do you think he likes horror movies? i feel like he can withstand gory movies but its the jumpscares that get him and he wont tell u he's scared when u watch one with jumpscares owkfkdkd imagine him hiding his face against ur shoulder or something 😭😭😭 (i used to do that with my dad when we watched horror movies and i used to be like im not scared😤😤 when he asked if i was lmfao thats where this hc stemmed from)
N. NORITOSHI HIDING IN YOUR SHOULDER OR SUPPRESSING HIS REACTIONS TO THE JUMPSCARES....... WAS IT AN INVOLUNTARY REACTION TO USE YOU TO HIDE??????? WAS IT BUILT UP TRUST????? DID HE GROW USED TO HOLDING ONTO YOU WHEN HE GETS SURPRISED BECAUSE HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE HAS HIS VALUABLES SAFE????????? WAS IT A MOMENT WHERE HIS MIND JUST INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED THE FIRST THING HE WANTED TO PROTECT/BE PROTECTED BY???????? OH MY FUCK.
he's probably used to gore and gritty stuff like that since he sees it often being a jujutsu sorcerer and all. not to mention his technique is literally blood. maybe he's desensitized to gore films, the most you'll get from him is a disgusted scowl.
BUT DID YOU SEE HOW QUICK HIS EYE OPENED WHEN HANAMI SHOWED UP BEHIND HIM. YOURE SO FUCKING FR ABT JUMPSCARES. Noritoshi is that guy who wouldn't scream or yelp but gasp really loudly and jump out of his skin.
i feel like they get him most in horror because of the music building up anticipation. if its one of those fake outs where the jumpscare comes a bit after, he's fucked UP. It makes him instantly miffed, as he tries to regain his composure. He swears he's not usually like this, it got him by surprise is all..!
Noritoshi is the type that'd only watch a horror movie if the story is rich and complex. He's the type of guy to like open endings that make you think.. if it's a guilty pleasure movie where all the protags make stupid decisions, he gets annoyed right off the bat.
He's groaning and complaining about how imbecile the characters are, but would still watch it with you because you personally invited him. If he's lucky you could fall asleep on his shoulder or [insert movie cliche here] how could he pass that up? But Noritoshi wouldn't be able to focus on you if he gets twice as annoyed because its a bad movie + jumpscares. it still startles him, but the movie is so terrible, he's embarrassed it got him, especially in front of you!!!
if you get involved and you tell him to quiet down, Noritoshi would shift his focus towards you. like that awkward guy who thinks he's being smooth and lowkey about how he cuddles up next to you. He wants to be the tough guy who's shoulder you can hide in, and he is!! just not.. with jumpscares.......
i was flicking through qoaad the other day for the funsies and THIS SCENE WAS REALLY GIVING THE SAME VIBE AS THE RUNNING AWAY SCENE FROM TITANIC AND I'M LIVING FOR IT
(like i just imagine those fools skiddadiling away while giggling and holding hands)
i find it rlly cool how even though c!tommy & c!purpled's friendship was never canon, we as a community still managed to make such an amazing, interesting dynamic between these two character foils: someone who would do anything to be in the spotlight, and someone who would do anything to get out from under it. the boy who no one notices and the boy who everyone knows. like that's beautiful
currently watching swing kids and the opening scene in the dance hall with everyone swing dancing was SO GOOD you could tell christian bale & robert sean leonard actually learned to lindy hop & jitterbug for the movie <333 (including aerial tricks as well!!) i was sitting there thinking to myself “i know all these moves!! i could replicate this!! aaaa!!”
I think I've figured something out, about why the discussion over a possible Bionicle G3 is kinda split a few different ways the way it is. At its core, there are two main desires for it that everyone shares, but that are somewhat inherently conflicting with each other:
1: We all want more Bionicle, comfortably familiar, the way it was when we were kids; the nostalgic desire.
2: We also all want new Bionicle, fresh and surprising, like when a new wave and new story year would begin; the discovery desire.
Of course, there are some people who don't have as much the discovery desire, and just would want Bionicle to be re-released the exact same way it was before. And there are some people who either reject the discovery desire, or simply don't trust it, and don't want Bionicle to return at all because it would be too different, and in their eyes worse for it. I disagree with those stances, personally, but I can somewhat understand the latter at least.
But setting those aside, the two other main camps I've seen seem to arise from inverse interpretations of how to resolve the conflict between nostalgic desire and discovery desire.
In one, the nostalgic desire is for a return to the exact same story and characters (and often, style of building) we left off on, while the discovery desire exhibits in wanting that story to continue, both to tie up the loose ends still hanging despite Journey's End and to introduce new ideas, or ideas we know were planned but didn't get to properly appear. Basically, the completionist path.
In the other, the nostalgic desire is to wipe the slate clean and go back to basics, have more-or-less the same story told again from the beginning; while the discovery desire is in letting that same basic premise branch off in a different direction, unbound by the same established rules and world as G1. (And often, being a bit more open to a system-based approach to sets and stuff.) IE the transformative path.
(I do feel like the transformative approach is simply the most likely route for Lego to take were a G3 to happen, regardless of whether it's the best, (though I also do think that it is) but unfortunately G2 trying to do that and bungling it hard in a lot of ways, makes it look a lot less welcoming on paper.)
I don't know where I'm going with this, just thought it was an observation worth sharing. I guess, I simultaneously feel like this may offer a way to bridge the gap between those two approaches given the common underlying reasoning, but also like it just shows why it might not be able to be bridged, given how the two approaches are still running in opposite directions at the end of the day.
BFKSBSKDBDN PORTRAIT OF HICCUP AS A BUFF MAN MY BELOVEDDD !!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THEREEEEEEEE. BEST EP OUT OF ROB/DOB/RTTE FIGHT ME
Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man actually shaped me as a human being!!!! The episode itself and the story was so satisfying to follow, and the ending was so gratifying - the way he stands up holding the feather high whilst everyone looks on in shock.
“For only a hiccup could get this far, from one to another, be proud of who you are.”
this always hits me in the feels. He sends the whole episode trying to be the Viking that he thinks his father always wanted him to be, when who he was is all he needs. Hiccup needs to embrace who he is and be proud of what he’s done, and by the end of the episode he learns to stop trying to be something he isn’t, and start being who he really is. A really important message for everyone.
(The transcript for the episode, from the httyd fandom website)
anyway LOVE this episode, it’s so funky and fun to watch as well ugh I love httyd
