This end up

I was gonna post this on my birthday, but I never did. I guess I wasn't feeling my best, and my mood just wasn't there.

Anyway, here's this little art of Solar stuck in the backrooms ig (the visuals in the movie were SO GOOD).

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THEY CHANGED HIS OUTFIT... my obsession always comes back and I don't care what anyone thinks about it xD

And this is going to make a lot of people very angry to hear.

But a lot of y'all on this website are truly deeply genuinely never going to be capable of any kind of real narrative analysis--and I don't mean 'being right all the time' I mean 'meaningfully engaging with the text in any way'--

The match cuts were meticulously designed and put there to communicate something.

The VA's delivery of a line was being directed. Inflection and tone change the meaning of dialogue. This is intentional. There are entire teams of people shaping those choices and deciding which take to use based on what works best for the story.

Information is being revealed in a specific order, on purpose, to craft an emotional arc and guide the audience's understanding.

A character's romantic preferences are only, and SHOULD only be, their primary motivation if the genre is romance. That is why there is a genre called that. Most stories are other genres.

Creators who dislike a character generally give them LESS attention, MORE boring storylines, and LESS screentime.

Sometimes curtains are just blue. But if the shot composition or written narration takes time to HIGHLIGHT, especially more than once, that the curtains are blue, then the blueness of the curtains is by definition narratively important.

"Cite your sources" is not a witch's curse that banishes People With Different Opinions to the shadowrealm of Being Wrong. Someone making points that challenge your perceptions, while including screenshots and explicit examples, cannot be dismissed with "cite your sources" because they are literally doing that. Don't @ me on this one I've seen shit in the wars, y'all.

Failing to understand these things WILL bar you from ever really engaging with or understanding any narrative more complicated than Paw Patrol for the rest of your life.

I love all @bloo-the-dragon's mer works, and the SAMS Mer AU with Eclipse and Mer Ruin is no exception!

HAD to draw a lil homage to that latest lore share, of Ruin creating an egg for himself and Eclipse to raise together, and Eclipse dealing with the stress from a close call cuz Ruin ain't exactly in his prime.

Is all good tho, the baby Peas joining Ruin in the bath tub to snuggle as he rest, and Sol helps by comforting Eclipse while he watches over the newly laid mer egg under his care.

Nnnh, I love Bloo's story telling and illustrations so much!

Please do enjoy!

Silly idea stuck in my head since lil baby Loon was added to the cast of @bloo-the-dragon's SAMS Mer AU. HAD to draw it just to get it out of my head.

Don't worry, Loon was okay. As natural clingers, I'm sure baby mers are also good at wedging themselves in small spaces for safety, so he would do that before he could flush too far down the pipe. Eclipse could juuuust reach him and get him pulled out!

Loon was perfectly fine, but Eclipse probably got a minor trauma from the experience.

Always keep perfect track of your kids at all times.

Enjoy!

This character:

Ciri.

In this trailer:

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

I got these (it’s a local brand in the Philly area so I don’t know if you have them). It’s a special collab with Alex’s Lemonade Stand. I’m extremely conflicted on them. They are sweet and very lemony, exactly like you wish that popcorn was. My favorite chip flavor is cucumber from the Asian market and I cannot figure out if I like these or not. Every time I take a bite, it sends me on a journey and when I come out the other end all I can feel is ?????
