Sooo, I watched Red One with my family and...
(spoilers in the article below)


It was alright. I thought that it'd be terrible from what I've heard, but it's pretty tolerable, even though I couldn't really invest in it all that much.

My main issue with the movie is that it has some pretty interesting concepts, but it doesn't really use them to the fullest extent, such as the turning-toys-into-the-things-they-represent bit, the North Pole being a mix of the old-timey depictions of it and this really high-tech stuff, the backstory surrounding Santa, Krampus, and Grylda, all the people working with Santa, the Wolf's (I forgot his real name) family troubles, the list goes on, really.

Some more minor criticisms, but human-Grylda's acting is kinda off; it feels like her actor was trying to give off a calm and creepy vibe, but her performance sometimes felt aimless in a way. I'm not sure if that's an actor issue or a voice director issue. The CGI is also kinda immersion-breaking in some areas; I can kinda just tell that it was a chroma-key thing.

It honestly feels like it spreads itself too thin when it comes to its ideas and plot points, which keeps it from deeply exploring any of them. This, combined with a plotline that doesn't have that many twists or trajectory changes, makes it a very "eh" movie for me. (also whyyyy is J. K. Santa basically nonexistent in his own movie)

I always wanted create an account on Toyhouse, but I never got an invitation... Soooo a really cool community popped up that I highly recommend to artists like me!

This community is called UNVALE!!

But Gy.... What is this community for?

I'll tell ya!

My favorite #UndertaleCharacter is probably Flowey the Flower, just because he's so fascinating as a character :]

I know I'm late by nine whole days, but I still wanted to celebrate #Undertale's tenth anniversary by making this animation! Here's to another ten years of wonder, UT! #UndertaleTenthAnniversary #Undertale10

Uhhh you ever just make a lighthearted Sonic.EXE character based on Popee the Performer, and he ends up looking kinda actually creepy because you gave him NES color palette limitations for aesthetics or whatever?

Almost halfway to 10 stickers! Now I can put 9

But I always put only 5 stickers in the pack to make it easier to get 'em all :)

The Hallowen [sic] tradition returns
