They ruined everything

Electric State what have they done to you

"difficult for them to understand the story" FUCKING EXCUSE ME??? It is not hard to understand a story about a traumatized teenage girl reminiscing her life as she travels across post-war USA! Is it really so hard to understand issues like war, trauma, addictions, societal abuse, and bigotry??? It is not a hard book to read! Piss poor excuse!

Always glad to see these posts here on tumblr. Makes me sick to see some people continue to ride Scott's dick.

The Internet: Don't give money to stuff JK Rowling is involved with or you're directly giving money to her to allow her to keep doing her bigotry.... ALSO if you so much as BREATHE the name Harry Potter, you are a transphobe, a bigot, AND an antisemite.

Also the Internet: omg im gonna see the FNAF movie a million times in theatres i cant wait yaaay 😌✨

Most likely. Dude gave thousands of bucks to him and his pals.

Y'all think scott voted for trump again?

I can’t find my post, but as a reminder: Scott Cawthon donated to Trump. Stop supporting FNAF in any way.

Schools should be teaching us this

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

The reviews are out and... Fucking hell.

I expected it would be like this. What a damn disappointment.

At least the reviews are rightfully ripping into this travesty of a film.

It's what it deserves for butchering one of my favorite books with a $320M budget.

And it still looks like shit.

Managing to be more VFX intensive than an Avengers movie is insane to me. How in the hell is that possible.

Now imagine how us fans of the book feel :'(

The Electric State: Review

Anything but electric

The Russo Brothers have made a career out of injecting rare smarts and soul into big studio films. While perhaps best known for master-minding the high point of the MCU in Infinity War, they also produced the weird and wonderful Everything Everywhere All at Once. That means that their latest film, based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel, arrives with a fair bit of expectation.

For the most part, The Electric State fails to meet them. Set in a technologically dependant version of 1990s America, we open with a rushed news montage that breezes through a multitude of key information in about 5 minutes. After a war that pit humans against their friendly robot aides, a fragile peace treaty has separated the illegal ‘bots’ into an ‘X’ zone behind a massive wall (If that feels like an on-the-nose reference to current political events, just wait till you’ve seen the rest of the film).

At the heart of this story is Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), a teenage orphan whose brother (Woody Harmon) died in mysterious circumstances. But when a robot based on their favourite cartoon - Kid Cosmo - appears to share his living consciousness, Michelle joins him on a quest to find answers.

On the surface, this journey has all the elements of an engaging sci-fi adventure. As Michelle joins her new companion to the robot-infested desert, there’s plenty of WALL.E level cuteness at play (the leader of the robots is a stately Peanut voiced by Woody Harrelson). There’s also a thoughtful plot about our attachment to technology, and an emotional story of brother-sister reconciliation to tie it all in together. Stanley Tucci even stars as a soft-spoken tech billionaire with questionable intentions - think Elon Musk but more (italics) evil.

In reality, it doesn’t quite come together. For a film about a shady conspiracy, what stands out most is the lack of surprises. Everything in this film feels obvious and over-polished, from the predictable one liners - ‘not in my house!’, quips a robot sidekick - to the rather staid action sequences. Fittingly for a film about sentient robots, it feels like the script - adapted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely -has been engineered by AI.

This also comes down to the casting. Chris Pratt, while occasionally funny as a loveable rogue that Michelle meets on her journey, is essentially just playing another version of Starlord - complete with a small, fast-talking sidekick. Giancarlo Esposito plays another ruthless villain, this time a robot hunter nicknamed ‘The Butcher’, who gets a laughably formulaic story arc in the final act. Ke Huy Quan makes a charming cameo as a doctor but essentially exists to spout exposition. And while Bobby Brown does get some emotional flash back scenes with her brother, she’s underserved by an otherwise bland teenage rebel role.

It’s a shame, because there are some good ideas here. The Russo Brothers have crafted a beautifully realised world, and there’s some striking character design amid the human on robot carnage. However, it all ends up feeling a bit derivative, with ideas that were seen before in Ready Player One, and recently The Creator. Unlike those films, this does little to inspire the imagination.

Despite a star-studded cast and the best of intentions, this robotic sci-fi adventure ends up on the scrap heap of sci-fi cinema.

I love this shit

Love the puns from Pun Hub

I looked at the comments under the trailer in YT and it's so fucking sus that there's not many outright criticisms of the objectively shit movie. Only one of the other commenters noticed too but they only had like 5-6 likes

saw a bunch of comments on the new minecraft movie trailer about how shit it looks but that they're still going to watch and like why? why watch something you are almost sure that you're going to hate?

like ok its fun to make fun of bad movies but within a week there will be dozens of videos about it to laugh at for free

I'm losing my mind at these, seemingly accidental, twinks. I literally pulled my lower lip into my mouth as soon as I saw these

The Murder Drones fandom just keeps making great content

I imagine the DD’s get a little overstimulated in their new enclosure

I just realized, that's why Vic can run the world without any pushback from others in the world. Aside from being one of the people responsible for making improvements to peoples' lives, the Newgrounds attack probably affected everyone.

Thousands of lives lost and those left behind will feel huge sympathy for Vic, leading to him taking the reigns of leadership. Hell there's probably a culture of xenophobia against outsiders, especially ones with powers.

Though that xenophobia probably doesn't affect outsiders who were affected by TDL and TCO's rampage.

Wanna know what would be a really messed up thing for Alan and his team to do?

SPOILERS FOR ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION 11 UNDER THE CUT ↓

Do those videos they make between every episode of AvA à la AvM but it's videos set before Mitsi's death showing the things Vic and Mitsi did to make Rocket Corp and the rest of the world. Just to break us down even more when we see them having a wholesome time knowing the inevitable.

Mm. Yep... Smash.

SCP-1471

I recognized his tactics from a fucking mile away. Can't fool someone who dragged themself out of the right-wing pipeline. Hope the Hermits sort this shit before they slip into something worse.

to say my piece: firstly, fuck iskall.

secondly, its very easy to tell by the outpouring of hate comments on many of the hermits' recent videos (after his response) that he reached a target of young, impressionable fans. not only that, but also a darker side of the hermitcraft fandom that i like to ignore.

as much as i love hermitcraft, its "golden" status that its gotten from remaining "unpolitical" and "drama-free" has perpetuated a very ugly-hearted group of fans who cant find solace in the more openly left-wing smp communities. so they turn to hermitcraft, where they can hide a little more easily. and this has been a group of people slowly cultivating numbers for years now, and there's enough of them that docm77's gay beacon, or the number of pride mcc participants (and queer hermits) can't ward off.

these people have always been the ones brushing concerns in the community under the rug, the "this isn't the place for politics," and "i watch hermitcraft to get AWAY from that stuff." types. they are never going to believe the women that were harassed over the male creator they've latched onto as someone who's "for them" and "un-cancelable." these people have been waiting for this opportunity. and you'll see them say "hermitcraft is over," and "they can't come back from this," but none of that is true. they're the only ones who believe that.

and as awful as all of this is, the hate and the VERY thinly veiled misogyny-- there is a bright-side in weeding those people out. "i don't think i'll be able to watch hermitcraft after this" good fucking riddance.

iskall knew what he was doing by bringing his shit response video to his youtube audience. instead of the reddit, instead of twitter, but to a space that HE moderates. the space with the highest concentration of people who he know will defend him.

my only hope is that the hermits double down on this, and that they have the backbone to make it clear that these people are not welcome in the community. and neither is iskall. and that the larger chunk of us continue to support the victims, and uplift what they have to say. i can't imagine how this must feel for them.

Having an extremely specific problem after trying a traditional pencil crayon look for an older Tattletale portrait. Somehow, during the slow work from grubby sketch to rendering, she became way too hot. And said traditional art style means I can’t change this with regular digital tools, I have to redraw sections of her face entirely.

That I did with optical colour mixing using hatching and a limited palette.

Do I roll with hot Tattletale or do I suffer?

i've been secretly saving my favorite versions of this meme to my inspirational quotes collection

That's what I was thinking!

“Couldn’t talk about it until now because there was an active investigation going.” Okay fair enough.

“The police are still investigating” ????? So why are you yapping????

I wouldn't recommend going to the "official" Discord server. The place is run by egotistical admins and RT doesn't look at what's happening in there to notice the admins' fuckery.

IS THERE AN RTGAMEBLR DISCORD SERVER. IS THERE A FAN SERVER I CAN JOIN. IM ONLY A BIT OF A FREAK PLEASE LET ME INTO YOUR HOME

What Netflix stole from us

Simon Stalenhag - The Electric State (2017)

Mega based

if you voted for trump because of the price of eggs you need to kill yourself and i am so serious

WHAT and WHO???

csam + cdream!!!!!!!!!

Reblogging this because holy fucking shit Scott Cawthon paid those pricks?

I bet Scott Cawthon is real happy now that his main audience is under threat.

Queer fans of the series who continued/will continue to give him money better not be complaining about how things went over in the USA. You obviously know where your principles stand.

MAY THIS HEATHEN NEVER STEP FOOT ON HOLY MARS

like to charge, reblog to cast <3

Like yeah I get it celebrity drama is blehhhh but everyone aside from Dream didn't want this shit. This is an insane dude blabbering on the internet dragging innocents into the shitstorm that is his fans and influence.

I kinda hate how on YouTube people seems to not give a shit about the truth of what's happening, calling this "drama" a "nothing-burger" or "a stupid/inmature situation", saying ignorant shit like "Tommy should've resolved this privately" "everyone in this drama are doing it for clout" "Tommy is obsessed with Dream" "Tommy is exagerating" like... bruh I can't I swear to god

It feels like no one aside from Tumblr ex DSMP fans actually care about the damage that Dream did not only to his friends but in general too

Based take from Twitter. A rare but welcome occurrence.

I don't really believe in separating the art from the artist, but I remember how much it hurt when I found out Rowling was an absolutely shit person and so I do worry about the Gaiman fans out there who are in pain because of the article that was dropped today. I hope this helps.

Me but with the Electric State too. Fuck the Russo brothers, they're just another blight upon the industry now.

can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting
