n #LGIEF and #GenieMakeAWish, the heroines' gain of (#spoiler) immense ✨power could have been more satisfactory if they had actively sought it, Miaomiao through persistent self-cultivation and Ka-young through haranguing with godly beings the way her granny did.

The Writer Behind Genie, Make a Wish on Its Explosive Ending

Genie KES made a 👎 wish: Eg. Fixing a kid's violent tendency by cutting her.

Genie KES made a 👍 wish: Sassy, fabulously wealthy FL who outsmarts ML and (#spoiler) gains his respect + ✨power. A world of difference from typical Cinderellas thought to be safer viewership bets.

#TheJourneyofLegend / Go To The Mountains And Sea would have been H's cup pf tea if it were told entirely from the perspective of the nasty writing system punishing the hard work-skipping fanfic author.

Alas, H has to settle for the official account role-playing the system: m.weibo.cn/u/7999309456
#HeavenlyEverAfter 's Heaven Support Center director is the one hollering at this other scene in #TheJourneyofLegend. Soul transmigrant Mingming should have made a pit stop in his soul orientation session. People, they never change! Flying off buildings just because they're in fantasy realm.
Cabbage Wreckage Trauma Trigger!!! The hollers of the long-suffering vegetables merchant all the way from #AvatarTheLastAirbender can be heard in #TheJourneyofLegend / Go To The Mountains & Sea. Why, the poor mister with no combat skills may be in a martial arts-dream break from his daily grind too.
These spears in #cdrama What A Wonderful World (ft #ZhaoLiying) must have been refashioned from incomplete Time Sticks and auto-summoned from the TVA in #Loki as the same-body inter-selves romance would register a deviation monitor spike even higher than the Lokis' romance across different bodies.
Animation-drama hybrid Yumi's Cells (ft #KimGoEun) and (cdrama #spoiler ahead) split-personalities self-romance drama What A Wonderful World (ft #ZhaoLiying) declare in their different ways, "There's only ONE protagonist!"

Then they stare at each other.
Disagreeing most with #3. The nature of repetition should tie in with the mechanism of violence perpetuation in late-stage capitalism and societal degeneration, and repeated simple lines has nothing to do with that mechanism. Evil can take on many more guises. Obvious CGI undermines spectacle.

"[The] treatment of repeated dialogue, character archetypes, and CGI as mere “flaws” evinces a superficial engagement with the medium’s formal strategies. Repetition and spectacle function narratively to underscore cyclical violence and social desensitization[...]"
So we're unfair to #SquidGame3?

"[T]his post is like someone trying to write an art-house film about a reality show. You took a brutal, complex narrative and turned it into an inspirational, pastel-colored, starfish-throwing daydream. It’s like trying to turn Game of Thrones into a bedtime story about dragons and lost love."
AI roasting of the thoughts on #SquidGame

"Gi-hun is not your personal activist hero. He’s a pawn in a game. The sooner we all realize that, the better. Activism is not a starfish rescue mission; it’s not about slinging metaphors around hoping someone’s going to catch on."
In related news, where's this secret, hopefully for H's sake organic heaven on Earth that has de-aged 1987-er #RyuDeokhwan so much in #HeavenlyEverAfter it looks like he's dispatched some 2007-er son to role-play a remake of High School King of Savvy set in the drama industry?
Cognitive de-aging is really supported by the article as the authors also conducted studies suggesting that a stimulating environment reversed DNA methylation changes in old mice.
Because H's #severance chip isn't working, the two shows are happily colliding again. The #LGIEF duet featuring Cyndi Wang and zither music plays in the mind on recollection of this scene.

In a chaotic world
you fixed your gaze on me
that was the scene of my rebirth
Will the typical consumer complete their own exit someday as they follow self-rescue missions from one show to another? Ha! Book idea here, Ricken.

#Severance #LGIEF
Self-reconciliation across geographies and genres.

This is Inception. Ziqi ( #DingYuXi ) rescues himself from his soul prison of sorts in #LGIEF but wakes up months later as Mark S. ( #AdamScott ) in #Severance inside another soul prison, from which he must rescue himself again. Never easy.

Too few folks are highlighting the scifi background of the Lost Tomb franchise. Tibetan Sea Flower is H's favorite show of 2024.

Had a wonderful time looking up information on cave biogeography, even though the show doesn't draw on the discipline.
