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)

Deltarune is waiting, everyone! We gotta make sure we don't keep it that way! ...somehow! Yes I used that one frame of Piccolo as reference for the artwork of Alex, because it just fits lol

For the first time in probably ever, I have changed my PFP. Let us mourn the loss of Gohito (an old Undertale monster OC I never used)'s status as my profile pic. ...and celebrate me using my actual fursona lmaoooooo

Maybe in a timeline where my laptop had the power to play 3D games properly, I'd play this, but y'know #SlimeHeroesWishlist.

George...my eyes are sore...

I doodled Ralsei in like two minutes without using a reference besides the plush on my desk (I did pick colors from his spritesheet though) Somehow I managed to give hatless Ralsei's design a hat??

It's finished yipee

Did- Did I seriously just name my Undertale monster OC that I showed in the last post after the Japanese word for "person?" Granted, I took inspiration from that Perchance UT character generator so maybe I got the name from that??

#WorldCreativityDay I freaking love @souptaels 's artworks; they're all so vibrant and colorful!
