THE BOOK OF LIFE (2014) | MAYA AND THE THREE (2021)

Zoe Saldaña as the SUN + Diego Luna as the MOON

ROTT was going to be more in line with the shows and have a happy ending but then guess who showed up with a thick stack of papers and said "I had some thoughts about the script", and this is how we got fighter jets, a giant robot, Blinky being tazered, mpreg, pointless deaths and a timeline reset.

I might have typed out a rage fueled rant the other day....

love lyrics that inspire me to write

none of these are mine, but music really inspires me even when i’m in a deep state of writers block and so i wanted to share. i hope this can help someone, and u can always private message me for any of the songs :~)

yes, i’m a mess, but i’m blessed to be stuck with you

i dont stand in line/i don’t pay for clothes, f—k that. but i’ll wait for you

my blue jeans/will last me all my life/so should we [this one is comparing said blue jeans to the relationship with the woman he’s talking about; he wants it to last forever.]

feel my love drip over your skin

oh, who would’ve thought i’d get you?

and i’ll take some time/just to be thankful/that i had days full of you, you.

sometimes i wish you knew/but i disguise the truth. i say i’m happy but i’m still stuck on us;

when you said you looked a mess/i whispered underneath my breath— but you heard it; “darling, you look perfect, tonight.”

i have faith in what i see/now i know i have met an angel in person and she looks perfect

how would you feel/if i told you i loved you?

you’re the coffee that i need in the morning/you’re the sunshine in the rain when it’s pouring

i don’t know if you mean everything to me (...) so can we just pretend/that we’re not falling into the deep end

don’t want to feel another touch/don’t want to start another fire/don’t want to know another kiss; no other name falling off my lips/don’t want to give my heart away to another stranger.

i knew i loved you then but you’d never know/because i played it cool when i was scared of letting go

i should be over all the butterflies, but i’m into you

i’ll never smile again, until i smile at you

baby not a day goes by that i’m not into you

we’ll play nintendo though i always lose, cause you are the t.v. while i’m watching you

we’ll watch the notebook for the seventeenth time/i’ll say it’s stupid, then you’ll catch me crying

have i ever told you i’m grateful you’re mine?

you said you’d love me... so what’s this?

please remember i only loved you

i really hope you meet someone who will love you more than you do/i’m sorry that’s not me

hmu if you write like this because i will marry you on the spot. yes i am embarrassingly a hopeless romantic no i am not embarrassed.

The way I physically can't stop drawing them haha (plus Chimi!), I also have to give love to The Book of Life today too!

¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!

Sooo pretttyyyyyyy

Delicate spring florals

Sighs. Okay yeah i have thoughts about cgi toothless.

First of all, why does he look so... slimy? He feels too smooth. Like they just stretched some scaly skin over a skeleton and let it walk around. Immediately offputting.

His body language is. Fine? Am i being nitpicky or does it seem just the tiniest bit less expressive? I'm guessing this is either the scene right after hiccup cuts him free, in which case he should be way more intimidating, or the fish-sharing scene, in which case he should feel a little friendlier and more curious around hiccup. It's a quick shot so i won't put a ton of expectations onto it, but i think it's worth noting.

Okay this is a legitimately cool detail though. He has a secondary eyelid!! You can see it slipping away when he opens his eyes. That's a detail exclusive to the books so i like that they included something as small as that.

Sighs again. And this is the shot that prompted me to make this post.

Look at the original, and then look at the cgi version. I could write an essay about how inferior the cgi version is in comparison.

First off, they flattened his face. I swear every iteration of night furies after the first movie has just been compressing their snouts until they're sufficiently 'cute' enough for the audience to forget they're supposed to be sleek and aerodynamic.

Second, his eyes. Absolutely radioactive. I understand using a brighter colour for his eyes, especially in a relatively darker environment to make him stand out and seem more fantastical. But. They're just so bright. It's mildly unsettling how saturated they are compared to everything else.

Third, his eyes. Again.

Toothless is supposed to be terrified but still threatening in this scene, and the original shot conveys that perfectly. If it's a threat, then by all means hiccup should kill it or at least run, but instead he draws a connection between both of them being scared of the other and decides to cut him loose instead. And that's the core of their relationship. Toothless is staring him down with a slitted pupil that could just as easily be interpreted as "fuck around and find out" but hiccup just acknowledges that there's a frightened, injured animal in front of him that needs help, and he helps.

Is any of that conveyed in the cgi version? No!! It's trying so hard to be cute that it's gone full circle back to just being scary. The wide-eyed stare, the dilated pupil, he's basically just saying "🥺🥺 uwu pwease i'm so cute and innocent don't kill me aha 👉👈". Which is a lot less of a compelling reason for hiccup to free him!! Plus the fact that toothless turns up to look at him instead of lying and accepting his fate like in the original, which only makes it seem even more like he's trying to show off how apparently adorable he is.

Idk. Just the difference between the in-your-face sanitised cuteness of "teehe you wouldn't kill little old me would you? 🥺" and the expert subtlety of his "please don't hurt me" of the original doesn't give me high hopes for a toothless that stays true to his character from the first movie. Even from something as small as this. He's gonna get woobified. I can feel it.

Omggggggg sooooo cuteeeeee

Sleepy baby 🍃💕

Manolo being Zatz reincarnated is totally valid i think. Let's look at some of the people in Manolo's family.

One of his family members is missing his right eye, just like Zatz.

There is a pair of female skeleton twins, similar to skull and bone from Maya and the three.

Y Carmelo? The hat he has on is a jaguar. And what was the prophecy in Maya and the three? Exactly.

The evidence doesn't stop there.

One of the floats in the land of the remembered is one of a ship. This can be seen two ways. This could be regarding skull and bone again, since they were pirates, or it could have to do with Maya's family. Dagger got a bandit queen's earring for her birthday. A bandit queen, who was a pirate. And we know that Zatz y Maya are endgame so their families are basically intertwined together. One of the other floats that the Sanchez family has is one of a temple. A temple that looks similar to the barbarians temples. And we know Zatz's mom was a barbarian so...and not to mention that both Manolo y Zatz have mother's who died when they were really young and they were raised by single dad's and eventually in their story they would become orphaned because they were fighting for the person they love 🤨

NOT TO MENTION THE MOON AND SUN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE! Which btw, ITS ALWAYS REALLY BIG THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE. The moon specially changes colors. In Maya and the three it's exclusively blue. It's small and looks like a skull. In the book of life, we see the moon as yellow and blue, it's huge, and it BARELY looks like a skull. In the final battle in the book of life, the sun AND moon are out at the same time! I think that just seals the deal that Manolo and Maria are Zatz and Maya reincarnated.
