I just updated my fantasy novel! (Still working on editing the 1 part cuz I’m not very convinced. Will probably edit this newest one more too)
Aand ao3 is back!
Go appreciate writers and volunteers!
Great analysis, you read my mind. I agree, this movie is a masterpiece when it comes to writing and character growth, mostly representation of fears that stop us from living our lives to the fullest; being vulnerable, showing your weaknesses to others, is a natural, great fear.
As the say, there’s nothing scarier than being known, and allowing yourself to be known.
The amount of details and efforts Dreamworks just put into this comedy fairy tale spinoff movie.. even the whole soundtracks are so great..
Supernatural is not a good show. In fact, it is pretty objectively terrible. It has moments of brilliance and potential, but it squanders it most of the time.
But there will never be another show like this one.
Supernatural was a show where pretty much anything could happen, and it went on long enough that pretty much everything did. It went from a straightforward, procedural monster-hunting show to a weird, meta parody of itself where the main characters beg for freedom from a cruel and all-powerful writer controlling their fate.
Supernatural was a show made for cishet white men that gained an audience of anything but, and spent years struggling with that dissonance. It became multiple shows at once to appeal to its vastly varied fanbase and, when faced with the need to choose an ending and decide its identity once and for all, ended up angering everyone.
Supernatural was a show that the writers completely and utterly lost control of. I don't think the writers of 04x01 Lazarus Rising could have ever in a million years imagined the events of 15x18 Despair. It became a monster bigger than itself because of the energy of its fanbase. The show itself briefly became a mirror of this dissonance in its final season, before the show finally tried to regain control and ended the way that it did.
Supernatural has had an impossibly impactful mark on internet and fandom culture. It has changed this website in tangible ways that won't be forgotten anytime soon. It was the 12-year-long queerbait, the one that would serve as the scale against which to compare all queer ships before and after. It spawned the only ship to date with over 100,000 fanfics on ao3. It was the homosexual homophobic show. The world's longest, most drawn-out hate crime. And it ended it all with superhell, tetanus, and party city wigs.
Supernatural is not a good show. But it is undoubtedly fascinating and influential. I want to study this show endlessly. It is just so fully insane to me.
Anyways, I'll be posting about this show A LOT tomorrow as well so sorry to my non-supernatural mutuals. I'm jealous that you are not cursed with the burden of knowledge that is this show.
Holy f shit I watched A Whisker Away. The storytelling was… lacking, for a better word. Literally. It was so… lacking.
Like, it was trying to do a lot but couldn’t handle it. The whole narrative felt kind of fumbling, like an outlined script that didn’t quite get cleaned up.
Not only that, but the protagonist is…. Troublesome doesn’t cover it. She’s a red flag. She stalks Hinode, enjoys being touched by him even though there is no consent there and does the same to him, doesn’t really consider his feelings when acting, etc etc.
Some scenes really really IrKEd me, or rather, disturbed me. There’s a particular scene where Hinode touches between her legs (as a cat). And the expression they give her is just … I have no words. The protagonist is a literal child!! A CHILD! Wtf script writers????!!!
….
Not only her as a character, but the whole story’s writing and pacing was waaaaaaY off. What were they trying to do? Say ‘oh even if you have it bad, you gotta appreciate the human experience’????? I don’t even know where to begin with that….
They say that her mother abandoned her, but no actually no, because later they show she didn’t. Sort of??? It seems like they werenmt even sure what to do with the other characters to make her struggles seem genuine. She has a stepmother who she has lived with for years and has always tried to care for her and communicate with her, but Muge hates her for no reason apparently????? She also hates her father even though he is barely in the f movie and is barely mentioned??? What even are her struggles that she wants to be a cat so badly???
None. None really, because the writing did a terrible job of actually trying to portray them. She ends up coming across not as a relatable young girl who has a deep crush and wants the boy to like her and has trouble at home but she tries to be happy anyways; she comes across as entitled, stalker, obsessed girl who’s detached from reality and willing to do anything (even knowing the consequences) to get what she wants.
Wow. I could go waaay deeper into this. But in summary: this. Is. Not. A. Good. Movie.
Good animation doesn’t compensate for bad writing.

YES WTF. There is no way the writers of the show wrote it this way without considering how queer it’d read. They’re totally baiting us dammit.
I’d love for them to become canon, but chances of that happening are pretty slim.
The balls of this show to make Enid so queer-coded… her mom literally wanted to send her to “werewolf conversion camp” because she hadn’t wolfed out yet. Then she finally wolfs out in order to save Wednesday??
This is the fantasy novel I’m writing! I’ve been developing this story since it first came to me when I was 14. Now, I’m making the effort to make this dream a reality.
If you want to read a fantasy story with diversity, conflicts, lots of characters, emotional growth, amongst other things, go take a look!
Because we’re on the 2 chapter, and things are about to kick off for real!
I think this is one of my first digital art original pieces that is completed, and I mean original as in not fanart.
I’m so happy with this one, I didn’t even have to use references for the pose, just for the flowers! 🥺🤧😭 I’m so happy with how far I’ve gotten, and I hope to keep learning.

Study of a white heron for homework. We have been asked in design class to study an animal and a plant and create a hybrid of both. I think I chose a good combination 😉.
