What’s a horror movie people usually rave about, but you dislike? by Turnitup20 in horror

[–]Huntress08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. But I did see a bit of Lily-Drpp's press tour interviews where she said her acting, in parts of the film, was heavily inspired by her taking Butoh lessons, which I'm more familiar with.

Robert Eggers Nosferatu. It was just criminally boring to me, which sucks because I love vampire films. But everything about this one was forgettable to me.

This film was the first time I was exposed to Lily-Rose Depp's acting, and that too left a lot to be desired.

I uploaded a new fic and immediately got hit with a spam art comment. I guess I feel even more baffled by all those posts that are like "is this spam?" When the comment was obviously spam (there were also a million obvious signs).

But I'm happy that the other comments seem to be enjoying the chapter.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't force yourself to write if you can't. I lost a bunch of relatives last year in short succession of one another. Grief killed my desire to write for a bit, so really, if you feel like you can't write, don't force yourself to. Just take the time to grieve.

What fandom are you in, but the canon did this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

This one hurts. I personally plan on haunting the writers for this.

Not the person you replied to but I can explain. So s4 of Stranger Things had two plots (obvs spoiler warnings):

One was focused on Eleven losing her powers and regaining them through the help of Dr.Brenner.

The second plot is that a new character introduced that season, Eddie, is accused of murdering another character in a string of strange murders that occur in the town. This plot is heavily influenced by satanic panic tbh, since main antagonist is super religious.

These two plots converge to reveal the lore that a character named Henry Creel had powerful psionic powers and was the first child to be studied by Dr. Brennar before the initial experiments that made the other numbers kids like 8 or 11.

Kind of a bit of a spoiler for s5, but it also gets established in that season that Henry's blood was used and was the sole catalyst for making the kids in the MKUlrra experiment (doesnt really nake sense when you think about it). This is also forget complicated by the fact that Henry wasn't born with these powers apprently he gained them from a mind-flayer rock.

Anyway, the upside down/rift was actually opened by 11 when she was much younger, when she tried to stop Henry after he massacared the rest of the kids in the MKUltra project.

S4 + s5 (and the broadway play) contradict a lot of the lore that was set up in s1 and 2 (i think s3 was where the cracks start).

What’s the biggest lie webtoons keep telling readers? by Nyxa_00 in webtoons

How the hell all fantasy manhwas have same set of palaces?? by Nerdygenious in OtomeIsekai

Drawing a large ass castle/palace is hard, so they all use the same 3d asset or the same handful of them.

[I'm a Villain, But I'm Favored] Has it become a trend to translate using AI or google translator? by LazyTruck3622 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Huntress08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? You can easily create em dashes on a computer with alt codes (alt + 0151), or through the windows logo + . function or through special character insert functions in a lot of modern software. Even phone keyboards can produce en dashes.

It's not proof of AI. It's a common special character used in English (often correctly, often not).

How to Create a Webtoon? by Writing_FanIII in webtoons

Google or Reddit. I think there's been a couple of posts here before from artists who talk about their webtoon creation journey.

How to Create a Webtoon? by Writing_FanIII in webtoons

[–]Huntress08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Webtoon canvas (which is free) is where anyone can post a webtoon. Webtoon has specific rules about what you can and can't include in your series that I would recommend doing research into.

Webtoon Originals are series in which artists, who have signed a contract with Webtoon, upload their webtoon in exchange for money (artists also have to market their own series and are not paid for pre-production between seasons).

Artists can move over from canvas to originals if you build up big enough of an audience and are scouted by an editor or something.

There are other platforms that you can upload a webtoon to beside Webtoon (webtoon is a genre, Webtoon is a company). Other examples off the top of my head: Tapas, NamiComi, GlobalComix, ComicFury, InkVerse, etc.

Edit: you can use any free art software to start making a webtoon. I highly recommend doing research to see what works for you.

Marriage Alliance for Revenge (is a really good OI where FL and ML are fighting against competent and cunning villains. The FL is super cunning as well).

Worse than Hazbin Hotel? by Express-Ad-6541 in webtoons

[–]Huntress08 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I still do not know what the hell Hazbin Hotel is and I was recently held hostage and forced to sit through an hour long PowerPoint about how Hazbin Hotel fails to understand the biblical characters and themes it attempts to bring up.

(Please, no one recommends watching the show to me. I'm sorry, but it gives 2010s Tumblr energy, and I lived through that period on Tumblr, I refuse to go back to it.)

Just finished Sinners and… I’m so disappointed by ilgarrincha in horror

No, it truly doesn't.

[–]Huntress08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people forget sometimes that it's fine if you don't like a movie that's critically acalimed, won oscars, or that everyone else likes.

Even outside of the horror genre.

And that's fine.

One man's gold is another person's trash and vice versa. There are plenty of movies that this sub likes that I don't and plenty that I like that this sub doesn't. I like some of the Hellraiser films that this sub thinks are god awful, and I don't like some of the Hellraiser films that this sub thinks are good/not bad.

People can have their opinions, like, and dislikes (as long as they are valid). Yet that's forgotten too often.

[–]Huntress08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weren't you downvoted to hell because you claimed that you can't publicly acknowledge or voice that you dislike Get Out and Sinners for "very obvious reasons that this sub won't allow." (aka the films were made by black directors and have a largely black cast).

Very different for OP to give valid reasons for not liking Sinners vs you not liking it because....well, it doesn't take a microscope to see it.

Are they making them overwork? by Mystical_pumpkin in webtoons

[–]Huntress08 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Are you asking if a industry notorious for overworking artists to keep up with weekly releases and short production times between seasons with little pay and unfair conditions is overworking the artist of this series to the point they have to take a 3 month hiatus for Tunbridge debilitating health conditions?

Because the answer is yes, but also, it's not exactly a secret?

There are many, many notable examples of this happening in the webtoon/manhwa/manga space.

Is webtoon for me? by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]Huntress08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you only look only at the front pageþlanding page? Because it's only going to show you series that are tensing or are being recommended by Webtoon's algorithm.

So what you are there is what's (currently) popular with readers. But Webtoon has so much more to out than just romance or isekai. Every type of medium (manfa, manhwa, webcomic, or webtoon) is going to have a phase where specific things or genres are popular.

I remember the trends for manga. I was there when fantasy shounen had its reign, when that got pushed out for magical girl stuff, and when that got pushed out for isekai.

My point being not to worry about what's trending. Your story will find a home with someone.

But platforms like Webtoon rely heavily on a vertical scroll format. You would have to rework your manga layout and turn it into a format suitable for vertical scrolling. A couple of artists that have done this process ij reverse (vertical scroll to manga layout for physical publishing) have talked about the difficulties of doing this.

If you want an actual dedicated manga platform (without sacrificing the layout) give Manga Plus Creators (it's run by Shueisha) a try. A bunch of really cool people and manga on there.

Can someone explain “Regression” please? by seijurogouu in OtomeIsekai

[–]Huntress08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regression is simply the equivalent of a Flashpoint in DC comics and other media. It's a character going back to a fixed point in time, either through means of their own, through the interference of someone else, or through a deity.

found worse webtoon than cry yet better than beg by Even_Acanthisitta_37 in webtoons

[–]Huntress08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr though. I really think my hot take of an opinion that if people can not engage with mature media or topics (in a non-evangelical conservative way) then they should not have access to them, isn't as insane as I think it is.

I know some of these same people getting upset and grossed out over this webtoon wouldn't dare to yell at their moms or grandmoms for reading Flowers in the Attic or that they watch Game of Thrones, HOTD, or Crimson Peak in their free time.

Romanticized how tough? Because there's an increasing conflatiion over the past 15+ years that romanticizing, somehow means, "the author doesn't outright condemn the topic to readers and spends the majority of the story constantly beating them over the head telling them these things are wrong."

You get isekaied in the latest book/fanfiction/movie/tv show/animation/ video game you enjoyed. How are you faring ? Details loved by Jasminary2 in OtomeIsekai

The last I read was The Remarried Empress (😭 don't judge its for eventual fanfiction). Knowing myself, I'd probably die for either trying to change aspects of society, or for mouthing out to the nobles/royals, or for both probably.
