four trick-or-treaters arrive at your doorstep demanding something called “energon”

I see some people in the notes thinking that this is the Death card, but it's not. It's much funnier. It's the Five of Cups, upright, which symbolizes like. Loss. Disappointment. Emotional Suffering. You thought you were going to get something and then you didn't. Even more hilarious than Fox News bringing in a tarot card reader for Trump in 2024 is that same tarot reader immediately flipping over a card that says LOSER.

Like to charge, vote to cast, god I'm tired

Maybe I DO believe in tarot...

I am in love w the way pre 2000s films have that hazy feel to them. hd honestly kills the vibe

I think that’s one of the reasons why “period” media that’s marketed off the Aesthetic sometimes bothers me.......like they get the music, the clothing, the cars......and yet it always feels like something is missing

like,

vs

or even compare the early x files to the reboot

something is just lost with the crispness

someone in the tags said early spn vs new supernatural and tbh 100% yes !!

vs

I never realized how much I missed the grainy undersaturated filing ...... “good lighting” and sharpness strike again

Seasons 1-3 were shot on 35mm film

4-15 were all shot on digital cameras, a change that the network insisted on

Yeah the exact thing that changed is that all the old stuff was recorded on film and all the new stuff was recorded on digital media.

i was going to say the film thing and the someone brought up supernatural and i was like "nah" and then @aphony-cree out here dropping that bomb.... in *2005,* to *2008?* there was a show shooting on film???? god you guys MOST shows went though this transition in the 90s how the fuck was SPN on FILM

In the 2000s dramatic shows had a good shot of convincing networks to let them use film. The network still had film cameras they’d bought and maybe hadn’t gotten enough use out of before the switch to digital. Most dramas can’t be shot entirely in the studio, they need to go on location, so it made sense to let them use the older cameras while the new expensive digital cameras stayed in the studio where they were safer

Supernatural wanted the 35mm film aesthetic and hated when they were forced to switch to digital

They just recently released a 4K version of Lord of the Rings and they’re so Crisp. None of those soft fantasy vibes

one of my least favorite things about these 4k updates to films (especially ones that used actual film) is that they also go and try to do color correction. like there’s a REASON that some scenes are heavily blue saturated. that wasn’t purely an effect of using film, but also a choice during the editing process. color is just as important to a movie as anything else.

it’s the exact reason why the matrix was shot with blue heavily filtered out to give that greenish-gray appearance, which added to the feel for a grungey dystopian machine-ruled future. The 4k version of it still has that there for the most part, but you can tell they did some color correction too and it throws off the entire vibe.

not to mention 4k updates of older movies REALLY makes the CGI stand out in a bad way and often times reveals imperfections in makeup that they knew, at the time, wouldn’t be noticed once everything was edited and it hit the big screens.

There's something a theatrical costumer told me about, the 10 foot rule. As long as the costume can pass muster from 10 feet away, it's good enough. Too sharp attention ruins the illusion.

Whats that quote about how the flaws/inadequacies of a medium are what will be missed and replicated as soon as they're obsolete? IE record static (lo fi)

Frieren - Thanks for the Journey Definitely my favorite anime this last season, sad it's over now it got me so emotional!

Oh, starboy

Mohammed Khalil's campaign is low on funds!

Already a few other users have written about Mohammed (@ahmed0khalil)'s situation, but even so, his fundraiser has not gotten much traction. Since August, he has received only €3,722 in donations, which is less than 10% of his goal of €50,000. He has little choice but to continue asking us all to support him, and hope that enough of us will listen—so far, not enough have.

I will once again try to tell you all his story. Mohammed is only 19, yet he has already lived through six wars in his short life. He and his father are responsible for trying to keep their entire family alive, including his 6-year-old brother Ahmed, his 11-year-old brother Abdullah, who is autistic, and his 23-year-old brother Fathi, who is blind and suffers from coronary artery disease, which is especially dangerous with the cessation of emergency medical services due to the occupation's attacks on hospitals and medical personnel.

Their entire family has been displaced four times, fleeing bombings from the IOF, and they have tried to evacuate to no avail. Despite recent reports that the Rafah crossing might reopen, Israeli tanks are stationed at the border right now, trapping Mohammed and his family inside Gaza. They remain hopeful that the rumours will be substantiated and the border will temporarily open soon, but they will need enough money to pay for the US$5,000-per-head ransom if they ever want to get out. They also need to provide for their own food, water, clothing, and shelter.

Currently, Mohammed's family is sheltering in a UN school in Deir al-Balah, which is by no means safe, as the occupation has bombed 17 schools in the past month alone. Winter is coming now, and Mohammed is sick with a fever that will only worsen with the growing cold. He does not even have any warm clothing. As he bears the burden of caring for his young and disabled family members, this is an especially dire situation. WIth less sun to provide solar power, it may even become difficult for him to use the Internet to contact us.

If any of this moves you, please consider sharing and donating whatever you can spare to his campaign, which I will link below. In the past 24 hours it has only gotten €56 in donations—the contributions of a mere handful of people could double that! Please, please keep him in your thoughts. He has told me that he does not know if his next message will be his last.

Of course, he is vetted—shared by 90-ghost and listed at #77 on @gazavetters' spreadsheet.

Every dollar you donate can save an entire family🍉🙏

reminiscing about webcomics i've read while on the internet for the past two decades 

do you recognize any of them? 

I love this stupid game and its stupid dialog options, it's the best part
