this isn’t a particularly hot new take, but it’s pretty fucked up how women are supposed to “just give him a chance” when a guy she isn’t sexually attracted to is interested in her, meanwhile men will treat women that they find unattractive as essentially worthless!
The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to
the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because
they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were
supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an
argument that is.
Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is
superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional
art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact,
is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the
other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those
more.
Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move
all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas
pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are
gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or
Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that
other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.
2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
Atlantis (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)
Sinbad (2003)
5 centimeters per second (2007)
The princess and the frog (2009)
Children who lost their Voices (2011)
Beyond the boundary (2015)
Your name (2016)
So whoever dares to say 2d animation is dead is wrong and also a bitch
Subplots can be tricky business, but when gone about correctly can make your story a thousand times better. This is a little guide to knowing when, how, and what types of subplots to include in your story. Enjoy!
Purpose
a subplot in a story should always serve a purpose. Subplots are not a device you use to bulk up the word count. They can be super helpful with progressing toward the main resolution, and can greatly improve your reader’s experience.
Connect To The Main Plot
You subplot(s) need to connect to the main plot in some way. I needs to push the story forward and somehow add to the resolution of the main conflict.
Reveal Information That Is Imperative To The Plot
Your subplots must serve to reveal information that is important to the main plot’s resolution. Whether it be revealed to the reader, to a character, or both, it needs to happen at one point or at multiple points throughout the subplot’s timeline.
Keep The Reader Interested
If your subplot is boring and only serves to give information, it may drive the reader away. Even though it isn’t the main plot, you still spend a considerable time with this plot, and it needs to be interesting to your reader. Subplots add to the main plot as well as the reader’s experience, so try to manipulate the subplot to keep your readers on their toes.
The Subplot Must Be Resolved
Finally, the subplot has to be resolved at some point in the story. Not necessarily in time with the main conflict resolution, because some subplots continue in sequels of stories, but if your story is a standalone, then it needs to be resolved before or at the same time as the main conflict.
When To Use A Subplot
Some subplots begin to appear very early in stories and some don’t appear to the reader until the very end. Subplots must flow with the main plot, and as you introduce characters, plot points, themes, goals, and conflicts, the subplots will appear and thicken. Don’t fool yourself into believing that subplots have to begin at the beginning and run the entire course of the story. Life isn’t like that, and oftentimes, stories aren’t either. Let subplots begin where they may and run their courses at their own paces.
How Many Subplots?
There is no expectation or limit to the amount of subplots you can include in your story. However, in reality, you should only include the amount of subplots you, as a writer, can handle. If you can gracefully weave 20 subplots into the main plot and come out with a product your readers will understand and appreciate, then do so as you please. Do what makes sense for you, your audience, and your story.
Weaving Them Into The Main Plot
Subplots within a main plot should follow the same format when it comes to characters. The supporting character(s)’s story should intertwine with that of the main character. There should be an element within the subplot that is essential to the pain plot moving forward and being resolved. One of the most effective ways of weaving a subplot into the main plot is to create alternate sections or chapters in which the perspective changes to that of a supporting character and focuses on the subplot. Your subplots will seem to run parallel to the main plot but at various times, they should cross over and impact each other.
What Not To Do
Include a subplot that does not serve a purpose
Include a subplot that is purely meant to make the story longer
Include subplots that you and/or your story can’t handle
Force the subplot into a time frame that does not fit its purpose
Allow the subplots to run parallel to the main plot their entire durations
it is the most wonderfully made, historically inaccurate, giddily fun, perfectly paced, goofy horror movie romance novel bullshit bonanza that has ever blessed the silver screen.
i mean it is just so beautifully full of every genre without being overwhelming. we’ve got: comedy, action, suspense, horror, romance, adventure, ancient aesthetics, and it’s a period piece. all perfectly balanced and blended into one movie.
and the characters are so LIT
we got our main babe, evelyn “motherfucking” carnahan, a super-klutz librarian, total history nerd, and certified badass/damsel in distress. she raises the dead on accident, because she cannot resist books, and has the guts to put that motherfucker back where he came from and literally saves the world. evie’s greatest hits:
“what is a place like me, doing in a girl like this?!”
*after totally destroying the library* “i’ve just made a bit of a mess in the library.”
“no harm ever came from reading a book.”
evelyn:*upon opening the tomb* “i’ve dreamt about this since i was a little girl.” rick: “you dream about dead guys?”
“oops.”
then we’ve got rick“brendan fraser” o’connell, your not-so-typical battle hardened gun slinger with a heart of gold. he seems filthy, rude, and a complete scoundrel at first, but then he turns into a literal puppy, with massive heart eyes, that worships the ground evie walks on. rick’s greatest hits:
*screams at mummy*
*screams at sand*
*screams at things that are illogical to scream at*
*screams*
next is our Comedic Relief Character™, jonathan carnahan, who also rises above his trope. he’s there for the laugh sure, but is never useless. he actively helps to move the plot along and isn’t just there. he also is the farthest thing from brainless and annoying. jonathan’s greatest hits:
evelyn: “have you no respect for the dead?” jonathan: “of course i do, but sometimes i’d rather like to join them.” same.
oh and that time he was like “IMHOTEP” and saved his own ass like that was so smooth, y’all know what i’m talking about right??
then there is ardeth BAE. he is the audience rolling his eyes because *sighs* white people. he’s tired of these motherfucking mummies in this motherfucking desert. literally prettier than everyone. (he has a much bigger role in the mummy returns, but is still so fab here)
and of course THE MUMMY. imhotep. actual emo. literally carved some poetry into the back of his sarcophagus when he was buried alive with flesh eating bugs, because he is that Extra™. just wants to bring his girlfriend back to life so he can make out with her without it being treason.
and all the side characters are also gr8.
now i wanna take a moment to talk about the romance. because it is so BEAUTIFUL. like usually in action movies it’s macho man undermines girl and they bone. not here. no time for that shit.
rick and evie have such a great relationship based on mutual respect and affection. they both cater to each other’s strengths and cover each other’s weaknesses. they are the literally definition of: “those two. in a fight, they’re lethal. around each other, they melt”
what else, i could literally talk about this movie all day.
the special effects have held up pretty well. the music score is GORGEOUS. the costumes are amazing. the makeup, especially for anck su namun, OH WOW. the george of the jungle era brendan fraser sign me the fuck up. rachel weisz.
so many good things.
it’s just great.
#i secretly rate every action movie from 0 to the mummy
it’s a beautiful mess of a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and transcends time and posterity as the alpha mummy movie, and to those who disagree i beseech you:
The only good thing to come out of 2017’s The Mummy was the resurgence of gif sets from 1999’s The Mummy.
The Mummy is the single most quotable movie of all time.
“The only thing that scares me, Mr O’Connell, are your manners.”
“They are lead by a woman. What does a woman know?” *cut to Evy proving that she knows literally everything ever*
Beni: *translating* “Come with me my princess, it is time to make you mine forever.” Evy: “For all eternity, idiot.”
*Evy has just destroyed the library* “Give me frogs! Flies! Locusts! Anything but you! Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy!” “I am so very sorry, it was an accident.” “My dear girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe!”
*Winston steps in a fountain* “Some bloody idiot’s spilled their drink”
And you know what is the second most quotable film of all time? THE MUMMY RETURNS!
“You: lighten up. You: big trouble. You:…. get in the car.”
“What are we going to do?!” “You’re asking me?! I’m only eight years old, for Christ’s sake!”
“I take it that’s not a good thing?” “Oh, he’ll wipe out the world.” “Ah. The old ‘wipe out the world’ ploy.”
“Be quiet, Alex! If there’s going to be any hysterics, they’ll come from me!”
*Drives a bus through London, fighting mummies, crashing into bridges* “This was my first bus ride!”
“And none of them was ever seen again?” “How did you know?” “I didn’t. But that’s always the story.”
are you sure you know what you think you know because it sounds to me you know maybe something about… three or four major western european countries, if that, and that’s it.
@lordhellebore @thequeensclock can y’all take this because i’m cringing this is like norton’s comment dissing ukraine’s presenters all over again
Sorry, I’m not dealing with this utter idiocy tonight, and from someone from my country no less. The fact alone they’re not even MENTIONING the fucking ROMA singer from Hungary while clamouring for “some diversity” … too stupid, can’t cope.
Tumblr, the only group of people that thinks 40 people from the same 2 countries is diverse as long as they have different skin colors, whereas there is supposedly no diversity in 40 people from 40 different cultures, who each represent entire nations
@farronheit You need to understand how people view the word diversity is different from your view.
Westerners need to learn how diversity works in Eastern Europe vs Western Europe because all I’m seeing are a bunch of ethnocentric people who know nothing about Eastern Europe except maybe fur hats and vodka; yet, these people want to criticize a country, a culture, a heritage they know nothing of while feeling self-righteous enough to do so.
Diversity means representing your country in your native language: Belarus, France, and Italy.
Diversity means being Romani and singing in your Romani, native language: Hungary
Diversity means expanding your music genre: Romania and Ukraine
Diversity means sexuality: Montenegro
Diversity means including ethnic minorities who are oppressed: Timur, a Tatar, one of the hosts for Ukraine.
Diversity means having a song win that is about the very oppression of your people: Jamala, 1994, sung in a Tatar language.
Diversity is about Asian representation: Cyprus, Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria’s is half-Kazakhstani.
Diversity is about showcasing your heritage with your native colours and culture: Armenia
And if Russia performed, then diversity is about showing disabled women.
Diversity is about having an Eastern European country win: Ukraine and then having a Southern European country win: Portugal (Look up P.I.G.S)
There is more than one way of diversed and it is about time people pulled their enthnocentric heads out of their ass and realize that diversity is MORE THAN JUST SKIN COLOUR and stop being ETHNOCENTRIC FOOLS.
And like kolovratsk said, if you can’t see the diversity of 40 countries, 40 ethnicities, 40 cultures…Then the problem lies with you. You can’t see queer, native languages, Tatar, Asian, Kazakhstani, music, as diverse…Then the problem is you.
instead of Friends they should’ve called it Friends & Ross
every conflict the Friends had to face was directly the cause of Ross
just saw an episode where chandler was trying to give joey money since he was struggling financially but joey was too proud to take it so chandler made up a gambling game where joey always won so chandler could give him money without him knowing. perfect example of two great Friends. then joey, confident with his skills in the game, goes to ross to play with him and loses it all to ross. joey tells chandler and he goes to ross and explains the situation and how the game was fake and asks for his money back but ross wouldn’t give it back. just one of the many examples of ross being a worthless piece of shit
I just watched the episode where Rachel hires a male nanny, Sandy, who is perfectly qualified and experienced. All of the friends love him including Joey who says that he is ‘learning so much’ from him. Except of course Ross who is a dick to Sandy the entire episode just because Ross doesn’t think being a nanny is a man’s job. Ross even went as far as to ask if he was gay in the job interview which I’m pretty sure is a big no-no. Ross eventually ends up firing Sandy purely because he’s a man in a female dominated job and because he thinks is too sensitive which is hilarious because the only sensitive one here is Ross and his fragile masculinity.
What about the one where Ross gets upset because his two year old son wants to play with a Barbie? He spends the entire episode trying to convince him that G.I. Joe is better.
How about the part where Rachel got a dream job in Paris, and fuckboy Ross who had treated Rachel like shit in the past, decided to try and win her back at the airport when he should have just let her go to her dream job.
I watched an episode where Ross and Rachel got trashed in Vegas and then went to the chapel and got married. When they came to Ross wouldn’t get an annulment because he didn’t want to be known as the guy who gets divorced. He is kind of awful.
KEEP THIS THREAD GOIN KIDS DRAG THAT FUCKER
Or the one where Ross yells at Rachel for dating Elizabeth’s dad because it’s “weird” for him but had no problem going out with Rachel’s sister, Jill, when Rachel had an issue with it.
Or how about the one where Rachel is having the time of her life at a job she loves, but insecure douche canoe Ross has a problem that she’s working with another man, and gives Rachel such a hard time about it, she decides she needs a break from their relationship
The show Friends actually invented the term ‘friendzone’ to describe Ross’ inability to show Rachel that he wanted to be with her (back at the start).
I fucking hate Ross so much
Remember when he cheated on Rachel and refused to say he was sorry about it because “it was Rachel’s fault, she wanted a break”? Ross is just a disgusting dickwad.
*At the hospital*
“I am Dr Ross Gellar!”
Rachel sighing: “Please, Ross. That means something here.”
