Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first! #my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped! #no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different. #to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life! #but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!! #my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘 #i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful. #and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

i always get a little sad when people tell me they like scollace from just my fan art and haven't checked out any of the source material because like nothing i make is going to ever fully represent their dynamic and the joy of shipping to me is really engaging with the canon material and going crazy over breaking down the crumbs of content. and it's a nice comic series! even just watching the anime you're missing out on a lot without context from the comics.

so i guess for the record for anyone who's interested but don't know where to start, /especially/ if you're just here for roommate yaoi. start with the comics. it's the most "scollace-heavy" and it's only 6 books. starting with the anime would probably leave you really confused on why anyone ships them (or what's going on if this is your first exposure to scott pilgrim media) the movie is a fine entrance piece also, imho. like it lets you in on the dynamics between each character and the general plot (even though the characterization is pretty boiled down, but hey a lot of shots are 1:1 to the comics so that's fun.) but yeah. don't let my silly gay drawings dictate your shipping takes. read the books yourself! they're fun and if you're a fresh adult that still feels perma-14 you'll probably find it fun too.

also they're stupidly domestic all the time

#siu talks #i always associate the comics w that awkward feeling of being an adult but not really #but still navigating life and relationships and all that jazz #so i have no idea why the movie and anime are both more focused on these larger than life characters and ridiculous fights #when in the comics they are more secondary to the slice of life stuff #and every ex is sort of a device to present the next challenge in scottmona's relationship #so yeah just some thoughts ive had #scollace

Who Is Allison Moore?: A Disney's Wish Mystery

OK, this is a little off the rails and random but this has been driving me crazy since I looked into it last night.

So, Disney's 100th Anniversary movie Wish is coming out soon and people have had a lot of hot takes about it so I wanted to do some digging. As part of that, I looked at the writers and two people have a "Screenplay by" credit: Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore.

Jennifer Lee, of course, wrote Frozen--their biggest princess hit in the modern era so that makes total sense to me. If you're coming out with a new princess movie for the big centennial of course you'd tap her. But I'd never heard of Allison, and when you look at her name on Wikipedia:

No blue link. So I headed to IMDB to check out her credits, figuring maybe she was some hot new talent recently promoted from within who did storyboards on some recent projects like Moana or something. But when I went to her IMDB page, this is what I found (after a brief mix-up with a Dexter's Lab actress):

Her Producer credits come up first and...huh. That's a lot of adult live action TV projects. Well, maybe her Writing credits are where this starts to make sense:

What? That can't be right, can it? The only vaguely Disney-esque thing on that credit list is Beauty and the Beast and, to be clear, that is a CW reboot of a 1987 procedural with the logline, "A beautiful detective falls in love with an ex-soldier who goes into hiding from the secret government organization that turned him into a mechanically charged beast." And she wrote two episodes on it.

And look at Disney's official page about Wish!

Everyone else on this page has credits that make sense--Frozen, Frozen 2, Raya, Encanto. And the two credits they list for Allison?

Night Sky and Manhunt.

Night Sky, an Amazon Prime show that she wrote one episode for and was cancelled after one season. And Manhunt--and show about hunting the UNABOMBER--that ran for two seasons and that she wrote two episodes for. Those are her two credits that they put up there next to Frozen and Encanto.

I have been scouring the internet trying to figure out who this woman is and how she got this job and I have come up *empty*. This is the big 100th anniversary movie! Why would they have one of the two screenplay writers be someone who seemingly has never done something like this before??? Like, I understand that not having done something before doesn't mean you can't do a good job, but it usually means you don't get the keys to the biggest most anticipated projects in the company's history!

They presumably could have gotten anyone they wanted for this and they picked this person and I have zero clue why and it's driving me crazy. If anyone has ANY information that could illuminate this at ALL--an interview, a social media post, gossip from your cousin who's a gofer at Disney--please let me know because I feel like I'm going full Pepe Silvia over this.

12/26 Edit: A SMALL UPDATE IS HERE!

#disney's wish #wish 2023 #disney #personal #this is separate from my opinions on the movie itself #which I def do have oh boy #but I also just want to know how this happened #how did she get this job????? #she doesn't write for kids or for animation or really for fantasy very much #so why did they hire her??? #this doesn't seem like her wheelhouse at all!

There are very few times i say this but I hope to GOD that they delay Beyond the Spider-Verse by a SIGNIFICANT margin because this shit is not okay. I adore the Spider-Verse movies to bits but the workers and the conditions they have to go through is infinitely more important. I hope the movie gets all the time and money it needs because if not I am VERY worried about how the movie and workers will turn out in the end.

(vulture article shown in tweets)

#i seriously think they should strike + unionize at this point #like eveyone in the entertainment industry has to strike in order to stop horror stories like these from coming out #writers animators vfx makeup actors ALL OF THEM #across the Spiderverse #atsv #spiderverse #beyond the spiderverse #btsv #my post #also #why the FUCK would they anounce a release date if the movie hanst even STARTED

[liquidstar]

i mean this completely genuinely and unironically: i think adventure time is one of the best examples of a long running tv show that completely improvised literally everything about its plot every step of the way. its so impressive how well everything always ended up tying together, in such a complete way, when there wasnt a set plan from the start. and how STRONG its been going for so long without the characters becoming flanderized... with 10 seasons and two reboot sequel series, it has yet to miss! it only adds to everything its built up. adventure time consistently hits it out of the park, and i think a big part of this is because the writers are building on what was already there and doing stuff that they just genuinely think is cool. its such perfect "yes and"-ing of the plot. and it works. it works so well

#movie when? #adventure time #they even make retconning animation mistakes work in their favor #its impressive. its awesome #i love it so much #and what works so well abt it is that it grows up with you as it builds on itself #which i think is why f&c being an adult cartoon totally worked. its for the kids that watched it when it came out and such. we all know thi

[kagdowo]

so i watched Adolescence of Utena

#why was she a cow #look at how they massacred my girl #slanderization but its turning you into a silly farm animal #anyways the movie fucked #every needs to go watch it but only after watching all 39 episodes of rgu #this movie is not a standalone experience #whoever said that is wrong #very wrong #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #adolescence of utena #aou #shitpost #nanami

[aroanthy]

i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc

#what am i trying to say here? #idk! think about all of the pieces you have #dying is complicated in ohtori in countless different ways #and i find it boring to see so much ‘this character is dead and that’s it’ stuff #when death is used farrrrrrr more figuratively than some ppl give credit for #and i think the movie too does wonderful things with death #and what ‘dying’ really means #being disbelieved. being forgotten. being rejected. haunting despite this #much more interesting to think about wrt commentary on abusive relationships than it is #to think about what?? oh me when my brother died but plot twist he’s alive and can walk on this road all cool. like????? #akio doesn’t have the power to make himself revenant #he THINKS he does and he absolutely has power when he’s alive and he imbues that power with such meaning that it does live on after him #but ANTHY. anthy is the one struggling with herself and her feelings and the impact of trauma and abuse (that power!!) in aou #he’s dead? he died? she brought him back through her memories? or she’s left him (metaphorical death) and he’s haunting her?? #all such interesting interpretations #i haven’t mentioned touga bc i don’t have the energy today. if dead and just illusion of others memories then why active. why awful #like in aou akio is only Obviously scummy when he’s alive. his illusory self is based upon anthy’s love for him #if anime!touga is nothing more than nanami/whoever’s memories of him before he died……. why does he actively choose to suck again and again #like nanami wouldn’t do that. unless it was meant to be a subconscious thing like ooo he’s dead all along but that’s not what her arc is #it’s not ‘he’s been dead all along’ literally or figuratively. it’s ‘he’s unsafe and i don’t want him’ #sigh. once again i am asking people to think about nanami and touga’s dynamic through touga’s eyes #it’s so interesting to me how people forget to consider his motivations or feelings on ANYTHING #like sure his motivations and feelings are scummy but they’re interesting!!!!! they intrigue me!!!! #compel me even #anyway ignore how i said i didn’t have the energy for this and then typed it all out anyway #dais.txt

I’m a Shark!!!!

oh boy oh man just a few more weeks til nimona movie oh boy

#my art #my animation #nimona #nimona movie #animation #gonna clean up and color this soon #currently going nuts over their friendship with the new clip out #movie ballister seems to be 60% less functional than book ballister and im all for it #whys he living in garbage idk i love him already #not animating that cape capes are hard and stupid #also did my best to emulate book style hope it worked

[atticcreationz]

As someone who is VERY fascinated with adaptation in film (who spent quuuuuuite some time back in college obsessing over it for assignments) and who adores the graphic novel, my biggest takeaway from Nimona is that it is an EXCELLENT adaptation. Especially considering how much that production went through! Like, all of the changes and things they expanded on made sense for the transition from book to movie. My second takeaway is that I love it <3 Please go watch it I beg of you 🙏

#nimona #nimona is one of my favourite stories of all time #and the movie team really did it justice #there are some things i prefer in the book but thats mostly personal taste #i generally prefer a bit more ambiguity (which the graphic novel has in spades) and prefer being dropped into media res #rather than getting backstory forst upfront #but thats just me and i cant complain much and totally understand why those changes were made #in the end the heart of the story stayed the same and thats all that mattered to me #nimona graphic novel dragon design you will always be famous to me #nimona netflix #contender for my favourite film of the year #but it had an unfair advantage (graphic novel my beloved) #person who did a whole dang dissertation and a bunch of scattered essays for her animation degree about adapting books to film

I find the code white trailers so funny because they’re showing such vastly different scenes in rapid succession and it’s like “you think you know this movie? here’s a BLIMP”

or “Yor being a badass. Yor freaking out because she thinks Loid kissed Fiona. yor literally PINNING her husband to the floor. Yor being a cute mom :D”

#another would be #“Anya being cute” #“Anya saying “go to hell baby” #“Anya getting tied up and threatened with a knife :)” #like bro POOR ANYA #and also damian is there in the story somehow??? #VERY pumped for the movie though #spy x family #sxf anime #code white #spy family #i have not seen much of the new material translated #so the reasons for why all of this is happening could very much be out there #but I doubt they’d tell all
