on one hand, i did enjoy it after i adjusted to the tone but on the other hand ::: spoiler spoiler
a cute found-family adventure movie with obligatory plushie character just isnt what i want out of a Predator movie :::

so yeah, i didn’t think it was a bad movie, it’s a serviceable popcorn flick imo. and i think it’s not wrong to try new types of story with yautja. it just didn’t reach the lofty heights of Prey for me (a tall ask tbf) and i prob would have preferred a full length live action of any of the Killer of Killers segments over Badlands

seeing “mastodating” and it’s not about the FediSingles hashtag 🤔

your hatching is always on point, the shadow on the hoodie is so nicely done

trying to get passport renewal done this week, which means i have to get my hair looking vaguely reasonable once again (the sidemost parts of my bangs are doing this hair-horns thing that i think is funny but am not sure i want on an official document)

also this sunday the gas gets shut off for a whole month while they test the building for expired hoses & leaks & whatnot so i am mentally preparing for the many cold showers in my future

oh, and i just yesterday finished week 4 of the C52 art fundamentals challenge, i’m doing inbetween ‘standard’ & ‘heavy’ levels, hopefully i can stick with it because the structure feels quite helpful for me!

there is a popular post on the BuyFromEU subreddit today mentioning piefed (among other fediverse platforms) but i don’t know if that was all or if there is something else going on too

so cute 😭 i love the different button eyes, a very endearing little chap

dang thats multiple types of suck, thanks for letting me know, glad i dont use it anymore!

edit: revoking my recc pls see the reply! i dont use it anymore but Deezer was very easy to move to back when i tried it, and had some quite solid staff-curated playlists. don’t know what it is like now tho, i am just using my local files & SomaFM via musicbee these days.

in my circles we tend to use the 🤝 as a way of saying “same” and i think it could work for this kind of context too

this looks so good & also straightforward to make! knew i should have picked up more tofu when i was at the market this morning 😅

the promo worked on me 😄

still pretty hooked on Street Sex - Full Color Eclipse but also been listening to Nitzer Ebb a lot recently

thats a cool interpretation but im just crap at rocks 😅

yeah it gets a bit frustrating when i would like to see more invested into new stories (not saying this never happens, it does! i just mean…even more lol). i do think its possible for remakes to be good (or even great!) so i try to keep an open mind about them but imo an ideal remake/reboot needs to have a strong vision and forge its own identity, nod to the original but also very much do its own thing. tricky balance and maybe its just that theres rarely enough time/money/patience/risktaking given to support good, fresh writing :/

very nice, i especially like ur wood textures, the light effect is so well done too!

u could work thru the moviedrome list for some cult classics (i have slowly been doing this myself, as well as trying to watch the corresponding intro if its on youtube), they are not always good movies (tho a lot are). but they will likely get some opinions flowing, there’s a good variety of genres as well

if i may, i suggest focusing more on supporting smaller creators instead, it will make a much bigger difference to them. if there is a youtuber whose work u really like, kick em a few bux on their patreon or kofi, bc most of those ppl get shit all revenue, esp if they don’t get sponsors or get demonetised a lot, and youtube takes a big cut of donos. imo supporting ppl that way, buying music & merch off bandcamp, commissioning artists or buying from their online shop, support ur local arthouse/indie cinema, putting some $ into kickstarters/backerkits, etc - that helps pay ppls rent & bills. everyone can do what they like with their own money but for me, it makes no sense to give millionaires more cash when u can help someone who is operating on a shoestring.

so pretty! ur values are nicely-contrasted too (weird compliment maybe but its something i struggle with so)

i love how precise ur hatch marks are & the details in the outfit

nice work with the hatching, i like the breezy palm trees & the motion in the water too
