Hi So I Know Nothing About League Of Legends But Just Finished Episode 3 Of Arcane.

Hi so I know nothing about league of legends but just finished episode 3 of Arcane.

What the fuck.

I would Like to retract this statement. I am no longer upset by Dracula Daily. 

I was having A Moment (tm) 

I apologize to anyone I may have offended.  

I’m conflicted about Dracula Daily because on one hand it’s cool that people are FINALLY getting into the source material but on the other hand I’m kinda miffed.

Like, will you ONLY read books when they’re spoon fed to you in little chunks? “Zoom zoom here comes the airplane with part of a book I didn’t write, open wide. “

I’m fully aware that it’s a stupid thing to be annoyed about, the concept in and of itself is cool, and it’s easier for people who might be overwhelmed by the size of the book. It SHOULD be something I’m happy about. But I’m not. 

I’m so frustrated; I’m pissed off by Dracula Daily and I don’t know wHY!!!! 

this book is freaking MADE of parallels.

The forehead marks on Dracula and Mina.

Two John’s paired with enigmatic foreigners

Renfield playing with his insects planning to eat them, Dracula doing the same to Johnathan.

3 women in Dracula’s castle, 3 men following Vanhellsing. ( THE FUCKING KISS SCENE WHERE ART SAYS GOODBYE TO LUCY AND VANHELLSING GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM BACK JUST LIKE DRACULA DID WITH THE WOMAN WHO TRIED TO FEED ON JOHNATHAN- THE PLACEMENT OF THE CHARACTERS IN THAT SCENE, EVEN THE DESCRIPTORS USED, ITS ALL THE SAME!!!!)

There are more that I’m forgetting but the point is that the little details in this book drive me insane.

ok spoilers under the cut but I was thinking about the placement of the gash Jon gave to Dracula w/ the shovel and...

it's the same place Mina is burned after she semi-turns later; on the forehead 👀.

Slasher fans are like “this is my poor little meow meow, Screwdriver Elbow. his real name is timothy asspunk and he killed 17 women because his dad called him gay. He’s from the movie “Hot sexy college camp” that came out in 1643. I desire him carnally.”

OKAY time for a petty star wars rant:

(”aren’t all star wars rants petty?” Very funny, shut up.) 

This really has no effect on the universe at all, or involvement in the machinations of reality itself, but I fucking hate live-action Ahsoka’s short-ass Lekkus. 

In general, I feel like Ahsoka has been victim of some rare “glow-down” disease which afflicts her with increasing severity in each new iteration.

Just look at the GODESS we were robbed of during Rebels:

(I have problems with the rebels animation style in general-but that’s a rant for another time. ) We can debate to Tuesday and back about the validity of Vision!Ahsoka’s design- and whether or not she is purely a construct of Ahsoka’s imagination. Regardless of that fact, there are a few general inconsistencies in Rebels!Ahsoka’s design: Her bone-structure is narrower across the board, and the patterns on her Lekkus are completely different. The Lekkus are also missing the notch which can be seen on both Vision!Ahsoka and other adult Torgarutas, such as Shaak-ti. Speaking of Shrodinger’s Jedi, Let’s talk Live!Ahsoka.

The original concept art seems a lot closer to Vision!Ahsoka- long Lekkus and all... so what happened? It’s not like they’ve never done these things before: 

According to concept designer Brian Matyas, The head-dress was with made movements and stunts in mind. Sure. Makes sense. HOWEVER. There are ways they could have done this without turning Ahsoka into Benjamin Button.

1- Attach the lekkus to the costume. I’d imagine this would be a realistic practice in-universe to assure they don’t get in the way. These longer pieces could be cut into increments and threaded throughout the costume, to give the impression that they were fastened into place, possibly along the opening of Ahsoka’s robe

Even rebels had a similar idea!!!!

2- just CGI the damn things. You’re telling me that you guys will de-age Mark Hammil’s face for EPISODES AT A TIME but you can’t be bothered to animate some Long Bois?? (I’d imagine some light weight mapping material could be, once again, attached to the costume.) Sounds like BS to me. 

SO IN SUMMARY

Ahsoka is cool

Her Live action design is not.

Character inconsistencies really bother me. 

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

IM CRYING THEY ALL LOOK SO NICE I STILL CAN’T BELIVE THIS IS HAPPENING

I NEED TO SEE MY BOY IN THE NEW ART STYLE I KNOW HE’S GONNA LOOK SO GOOD.
