I wish I saw more art that's reminiscent of what was in the book. The awe inspiring vistas of abandoned war machines being dismantled in a field, bleak urban decay, the shambling hordes of those ensnared by the Neurocasters... it's a shame that the famous thing about this book now is that it's the source material for a movie that is the exact opposite in tone...
Trust me I'm getting tired of this too but...
This is Micah Mayfield, a guntuber who recently released a video in which he made a "joke" about having a trans person in his gun sights....
And oh man would you look at that? Its Grand Thumb! The man who Brandon Buckingham who will make fun of you for thinking that they are terrible people or not! These are all people Wendigoon are comfortable being around. Let's see how Garand Thumb is taking the criticism?
Ah! I see! Surely a great person to be friends with!
I will never get why movie critics are so fucking negative when a film tackles toxic relationships and mental illness in a realistic light. They also hate musicals for no reason and that is a crime.
Anyways, see the new Joker movie. This film deserves so much recognition and love from the general public.
Reblogging this so people get reminded
Reminder: Michelle in the book is a lesbian. They erased that part of her in the movie adaptation for no reason at all. Fuck Netflix and the Russos.
I looked at the comments under the trailer in YT and it's so fucking sus that there's not many outright criticisms of the objectively shit movie. Only one of the other commenters noticed too but they only had like 5-6 likes
saw a bunch of comments on the new minecraft movie trailer about how shit it looks but that they're still going to watch and like why? why watch something you are almost sure that you're going to hate?
like ok its fun to make fun of bad movies but within a week there will be dozens of videos about it to laugh at for free
Me and a friend have been developing this conlang thing for use in co-op play, both for immersion and so we don’t need to constantly pause to type things. I call it slugsign :-)
I should note that neither of us know ANYTHING about language structure or conlanging, we just developed it naturally lol.
some grammar notes:
-’punctuation’ style signs (such as ‘question’, ’attention’, ’relax’) come before the rest of the sentence. this is for clarity of intent
-’relax’ can be used to initiate longer, more complex conversations
-signs are VERY position specific. the limitations of the medium make a lot of signs look similar, so using the right starting and ending positions are important.
-’region’ specifies which region you’re referring to by the direction of your arm waggling, and the regions adjecent to the one you’re currently in. For example if you were in industrial complex and wanted to refer to chimney canopy, you’d waggle upwards.
I've got men arguing that there's no power imbalance between Caiti's friend (a 20 year old intoxicated woman with a small platform) and Dream and George (26/7 year old men who were still fairly sober with huge platforms) in Dream's literal hotel room.
Because there's "no sexist power imbalance between adult women and adult men".
I am BEGGING for you to think critically about sexism here.
I wouldn't recommend going to the "official" Discord server. The place is run by egotistical admins and RT doesn't look at what's happening in there to notice the admins' fuckery.
IS THERE AN RTGAMEBLR DISCORD SERVER. IS THERE A FAN SERVER I CAN JOIN. IM ONLY A BIT OF A FREAK PLEASE LET ME INTO YOUR HOME
Tried designing the voices!
oh also. one other thing I’ve noticed about the kister situation is the immediate ocification of his characters and world as an excuse to still enjoy his work. I understand if you had an AU or something that you’ve been working on for like ten trillion years and it isn’t that attached to kisters work anymore. but i just keep seeing jokes about everyone’s “new ocs meerkat heathbar and sussy tables!! now that we hate this white guy content creator I can finally ship them yay yay yippee :]” it’s been one day. If you cannot let go of one piece of media in a sea of other pieces of media that are similar and probably better, or even hold off on making jokes about it for ONE DAY after it has come out that REAL LIFE HUMAN PEOPLE were hurt, I don’t know what to say to you. I just don’t. also. please for the love of god maybe don’t use the ever repeating situation of “famous person uses their fame to commit predatory, dangerous behavior towards their fans who trusted them” as an excuse to make your favorite one note horror whiteguys kiss. not only does it say some not great things about your respect towards creator boundaries (even if it was likely that alex only pushed this rhetoric to make himself look less like the type of person he ended up being, plenty of creators genuinely do have these sorts of boundaries and won’t be happy to see how little people actually care) “situation sucks but I guess some good came out of it because now I get to do (this) with this property” nothing good came out of this for the victims. absolutely fucking nothing.
believe them and support them.
Me but with the Electric State too. Fuck the Russo brothers, they're just another blight upon the industry now.
can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting
