i was watching infinity war with my family and when thanos was using the stones to wreck everyone on titan, my mother, who is a 41-year old, tiny 5′0 filipino woman, said something very solemnly in our language that can be translated roughly to: “that tricky thanos. probably only i could defeat him”
It’s literally not even fucking Mulan anymore. It’s just another random movie by now. Kids grew up with Mulan and are now older and want to see the potential that this movie could have to help society see that diversity is a good thing. It’s good for people to be themselves. And Mulan shows kids that sometimes you have to do hard things in order to achieve what you want/need. Why would they ever change something so drastic like that?
Not only that, why name it Mulan at all since it’s not gonna be based it the actual historically existing once alive woman MULAN, what’s the point of it at all? The animated movie at least based itself on the tale of the actual woman, this shit is just white people doing away with mutilating the original movie and calling it their own.
Fuck it, let’s do one better, watch the 2009 China based film of the historically accurate Mulan:
MULAN (2009) starring
Zhao Wei
with an all chinese cast.
Li Shang and Mushu are both faves so I’m def mad, but they said she gonna have superpowers. I’m done-
PSA: journalists aren’t supposed to put names in the headlines if the person isn’t a public figure. It’s not a matter of maliciously not giving credit
^^^as a journalist, this is something that bothers me ALL THE TIME
A friend of mine on Twitter explained this the other day, so to elaborate based on what she said: If the name is not instantly recognizable the way a public figure is, then putting the name in the headline isn’t going to bring about any sort of recognition or connection in the reader, and doesn’t do much to draw the reader into the story. But something like “local teen” does create a connection by tying the person into the community, and encourages the reader to learn more about what this local teen has done. The name will be in the article itself, after the headline has done its job at getting the reader to look into it.
It’s worth noting too that usually, according to the Inverted Pyramid writing style used for journalism where the most important information is shared first, the person’s name is usually in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
Whenever I see someone get up at arms over a headline that says “Local Teen” and the first comment is “SAY THEIR NAME” I’m always like “hey, thanks for telling every journalist present that you don’t read articles and just skim headlines.” Really makes us feel appreciated.
I think this Onion headline illustrates the point pretty well
apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist
it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile
here’s an example:
normal size
2x in paint
2x in waifu2x
so like, there’s that. go wild
Original:
Photoshop scaled:
Waifu2x scaled:
It’s legit!! Tell your friends!
waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size.
