Wait, since we’re already talking about bad live action CGI, can I rant about the dragons in the live action HTTYD?

Graphically, they look fine. But they’ve lost all their charm for the sake of realism. The original dragons had such expressive faces and an intentionally ugly charm to them. But other than Toothless (who has his own problems of losing his bite for cute appeal), the Terrible Terror and maybe the Red Death, they all look too… I don’t know if generic is the right word? But they feel more toothless, pun not intended

Hell, they took two post-HTTYD1 dragons and made them look worse. These are genuinely undoubtedly more generic than their originals

have you seen the dragons in the stage musical? everything should be practical effects forever

people in my replies arguing for their fav white guy???

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS:

1. Do you think a post pointing out an issue with fandom racism and misogyny is an appropriate place to bring up your favorite white male character? Why or why not?

2. Did this post call you racist for relating to a white male character? If you thought or think so, consider why you got defensive.

3. Think about the disproportionate amount of art and writing about white male characters in fandom spaces. Do you think this is, across all boards, due to them being written better or more relatably than the POC protagonist?

a. If so, consider why you notice the writing of white male characters more often. Are white male characters written "better" than the POC protagonist, or do you have an internalized fear of relating to non-white characters that you need to work through?

b. If not, consider what ingrained biases might lead to this phenomenon in fandom spaces.

c. If you read a. and thought that white male characters literally just are usually or always written better than the POC and/or female protagonist, accept you are wrong and consider some self reflection.

4. Have you researched how to write and draw characters that are non-white and/or non-male? If not, does this limitation lead you to gravitate towards characters you feel "qualified" to make content about, therefore inflating the issue?

5. If people are telling you to reconsider your point of view in my replies section, did you stop to consider what they said apart from your human instinct to be defensive? Have you considered that arguing against those trying to educate you about fandom racism and misogyny, which can be difficult to see in yourself, in the notes of a post talking about fandom racism and misogyny, might be short-sighted and counterproductive?

6. If you are inclined to defend your favorite white male character, pause. Are all of your other favorite characters also majority white? Are they majority male? Are they either of these and NOT the main character of the show, movie, or game they originate from?

a. If not, this comic is not for you. Please move on and give it a reblog if you're feeling generous.

b. If so, consider this pattern. If you want to break it, ask someone for a reccomendation for characters or media similar to your favorites. Expand your horizons, and engage with your community rather than fighting against them.

great news. there are things for us out there. 🫵😌 for you, there are good things.

I am holding your face in my hands with love in my heart. school does not determine your worth.

and if you feel a gaping hole of unfulfillment? great news. there are things you can do for this also.

get a certification.

make art.

do community theatre.

learn to cook.

learn a language.

I don't care. there is something, I promise. I promise. life is still good. you are still good.

there is so much still to love and learn and live. keep moving, keep being alive.

Here is your mission.

TSLA hit its all time high of $488.50 on 15 DEC 2024. To reach of a price of $114.00 would be a 76.7% drop. That's huge, right?

Yeah well, when I checked the price just now (12 MAR 2025 @ 1:31 PM EDT), TSLA is currently trading at $250.85. That's down 48.6% from the high.

Babes, we're already nearly two-thirds of the way there.

TSLA $114.00. I believe this is where I say 'like to charge, reblog to cast.'

Not the Lilo and Stitch trailer unlocking the inner art student within everyone and saying how Stitch just doesn't look that good because of how they used the shading on his fur and camera focus. XD

i went to art school for exactly 6 months then left and most of my talent was done on my own.

And youre telling me Disney cant let their animators use that artistic ability theyve been taught to make these CGI cartoon characters look like theyre actually there????? UGH
