Low key Hua Cheng is a terrible employee in thinAU, but I like to think his good looks lure in enough customers to make up for it.

Plz don’t feel too bad for Hua Cheng in this one. It’s not like Xie Lian could read his handwriting anyway.

How can I be expected to draw under these conditions? She expects me to pet her CONSTANTLY. And she's cute so it's very hard to say no.

The yolks are my fave part to draw - lots of saturated yellows and oranges to play with.

And thank you it's good to be back ❤️

The art is gorgeous, and the story is so good. They explore some tough dynamics, but Coco's choices are so heartfelt and sincere. It's become my comfort manga.

If you can write a prompt for a text generator, then I suggest you try writing. With time and effort you would end up with a more fulfilling and less environmentally harmful creative outlet.

There are many creative hobbies that don't wreck the environment the way AI does.

Okay I said I was done BUT.

I just wanted to include a special "fuck you" to the Into the Woods movie adaptation. They wanted to emulate the feeling of a stage play and as a result we got a visually boring, flat movie that added nothing to the source material. What a missed opportunity.

Chippolyta @chippolyta.bsky.social · Nov 28

I saw the musical live back in the day, and I remember feeling underwhelmed by the experience - the music is so beautiful and bombastic and there's only so much you can do if you're performing it on a stage 20 feet away from the audience.

Anyway, that's enough ranting from me. If you haven't seen it yet plz go see Wicked in theaters.

You don't have to be a theater girlie to appreciate it, I promise.

And the CASTING. Ariana and Cynthia both nail their characters perfectly.

There's so much love and care and passion that went into this adaptation and it shows. I wish more musical adaptations (and adaptations in general) got this sort of treatment.

But as a movie? BAM! We get close ups on hands, and facial expressions, and a top down shot of Ariana grande scooting around on the floor during popular and it hits sooooo goooooood 😩

It's so beautiful, and cinematic, and it's so clear that they put a lot of thought into ways to flesh out the different story beats so they have maximum impact.

Holy shit the wicked movie is so goooooood. 😭♥️

I listened to the soundtrack on repeat for about 2 years in highschool and I'm so glad they did it justice that's so rare for musical adaptations.
