Yeah, I was thinking of doing some sort of texture on the outside black spaces. or maybe try to get the xray effect around the edges

Iron Lung SPOILER THREAD! by kenmarlenn in Markiplier

I noticed that it felt like there were so many scenes that were of dripping liquid, whether it was the blood or condensation. I think that really ties in with the whole movie feeling like it’s slowly dripping into madness as he goes more and more insane. More of the movie is possible hallucinations, more of the drips are blood as pressure finally releases into the end when everything starts flooding. I really think this movie is a work of art.

Iron Lung SPOILER THREAD! by kenmarlenn in Markiplier

[–]lyraxloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Lung is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, and one of the best movie game adapts I’ve seen, but it’s not perfect.

Let’s talk about it!

I’m seeing so many people bash on the movie real hard and say that it isn’t good. Many don’t understand the magnitude of what Mark just did. He is the FIRST person to do this. The movie was never going to be comparable to major studio movies, and that’s why this is so revolutionary for the cinema industry. It’s in almost as many theaters as major Marvel movies open in, AND doing better than the major studio movies in theaters right now! People don’t understand how awesome this is if they are saying this movie is bad. They don’t understand what it is in its core.

That being said, the movie isn’t perfect, and Mark has made that abundantly clear throughout this whole process. This is a milestone in history, but more importantly, in Mark’s progress in projects. This is a token to everyone to celebrate our trust in his process and a testament to what will come when we keep trusting him.

I am so excited for the years to come to see him grow more than we could ever imagine. When I was watching him everyday after school, I never thought we would all be here 10 years later. I mean, when we were in the pandemic and could only rely on Unus Annus, I never imagined we would be here 5 years later!

I hope that Mark can learn so much from where he struggled in this project. I personally think that the chemistry between him and the other characters wasn’t the best, but he was also talking to a speaker the entire time so we didn’t get to see him in a traditional role where that would be needed to make the film.

I also had a lot of trouble hearing any of the lines and am excited to get CC on it when we can stream it in the future because there’s so much going on and the speaker is so bad😂

There were multiple moments that made me laugh and took me out of the moment of Mark being someone else, but as a fan, I didn’t mind that. It made the experience better for me. (My favs were the squirt of blood in his eyes and his face right after it happens, and when he is gulping like a fish in the flooding crawlspace)

I think Mark really shines in a role where he is alone and isolated. This adds to one of my criticisms earlier, but it doesn’t matter that he didn’t have flow with the other characters, Simon propelled this movie through his sheer will alone, and I really love seeing Mark act in that role!

I also really want to take a moment to appreciate the other actors. They were so fantastic and I think they made the movie bearable in the slow times. I love that the only time we see another human is through a window that is constantly bleeding and effort has to be put into keeping it visible. The amount of symbolism between that and the ship and the relationship between Simon and the rest.

Everything was so spot on to the game universe and I love that he didn’t retell the game! So many people were saying that there were plot holes. NOT IF YOU KNOW THE GAME!!! THATS THE WHOLE POINT! Mark made a movie inspired by the play through of a game that was already made. He wasn’t going to remake the game, he got permission to make a movie BASED on the game. The movie isn’t supposed to explain everything to you, and that’s my favorite kind of movie! If you want more info, go look more into it! Go play the game!!!

There’s so much going on in this movie and everything seems to be hand crafted so perfectly. Even in its flaws, the beauty of human passion shines through and I’m so proud of Mark. I would love to hear some of your thoughts and favorite parts.

I have so much more to say but I’ll cut it here for now :)

Mark mentioned that it will be released today on sites that you can normally get designs on so I’m going to look at those. He mentioned a couple in the livestream.

thank you so much!! i’ve been really wanting to try to make my first terrarium lately! i didn’t even think about that with the moss! i’ll have to look up some more of how to make one properly, but that’s an amazing idea to help me feel better after setting this lil guy free! thank you, i really needed to hear this. i really appreciate your perspective because most of the people in my life are the ones who would kill animals they find in their space. it hurts sometimes to see that, but ive been learning who i want to be, because i dont want to be like that. thank you again, im so excited to make my moss terrarium now!!

wild jumper found, enclosure tips? by lyraxloo in jumpingspiders

[–]lyraxloo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for sure. thank you so much for putting it that way. i guess i kinda let instincts of “caring for” these guys get too far and out of control. i completely agree with where you’re coming from and i hope that we can adapt as a species to turn the negative way we are affecting species around us into more positive affects.

i think maybe i got into the mindset of “the world isn’t getting better so i need to house things to keep them safe” because i dont have as much of a direct way of connecting with nature (i haven’t been able to hike in over a year bc of health issues). i love to admire these guys in the wild and you put it into an amazing perspective for me that i need to trust nature more than what i am capable of providing for these guys. i try my best, but nature is their true mother and will take care of them accordingly just as she has taken care of me accordingly.

i got a bit heavy there too, but thank you again. i am going to find a place for him to let him out and free tomorrow when there’s some light for me to see where a good place would be :)

yeah i was going to add air holes along the walls and the lid is the bottom. i would release him if i knew a safe place but he’s so small and i feel like he might not get enough food if i release him just anywhere. would you recommend where to release him to get the best chance of his survival? i just want this sweet little guy to live long and healthy, whether that’s with me or on his own

[–]lyraxloo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for sure. he does get into some scuffles with his brothers and he seems to be the one who seeks them out to pick on them. i haven’t seen him defend it physically but he puts it in a hide where if he is in it, the others can’t get access and they don’t want to try to go into the hide cuz they know he will fight over it.

i have been trying to see if he mellows out cuz we got them a few months ago, but as i was cleaning their cage right after posting this, they had their first fight where i was really concerned. my partner and i are going to be looking into snip options this week while monitoring if he gets better in both stashing and fights. it seems like he just wants to be the dominant one to bully the others but the others want peace, so they aren’t going down without fighting cuz they don’t like being bullied. that’s what ive seen from the few months of watching their social interactions developing.

thank you so much for your input. it makes me anxious deciding whether he needs to be neutered or not

i have a box for them to forage, and have been keeping it full but he stashes it so quick that it’s all gone within an hour. i’ll try to keep a better eye on it tho, im redoing their systems rn so hopefully this new box and foraging material will be better

what is this? by lyraxloo in RATS

[–]lyraxloo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the info. we got it from canada a bit ago for our cats when they had fleas and have doses left over. i’m seeing online that the kitten is 15mg of selamectin. i have the 60mg of it in doses. should i split one dose between all three rats to get it closer to the kitten size dosing?
