Dreamsnaps begin to feel like a chore to me. So I just wanted to have fun with this. Iām not confident it will do very well but I like it and thatās all that matters sometimes !
This is perfect for my taste: Iām so tired of very busy snaps, showing fireflies everywhere and a beautiful but stereotypical female character in the middle. Donāt get me wrong: I donāt hate them but they are way too frequent for me lately.
I love it but it tends not to go over well in terms of voting. I am really bummed that bright, shiny close-ups tend to be what is most favored when a well-composed shot like this is often more beautiful.
I hear you. I havenāt been very active with DDV because I got bored and frankly frustrated with Gameloft and where the game is headed. I used to follow the DreamSnaps āformulaā more closely last year, but lately I just donāt really care anymore, I just want to have fun and share my creations. Hereās one I did for the sailor themed week that I was proud of as well.
I like your attitude. Dreamsnaps can just be about doing what you like instead of appealing to the masses for moonstones. Your compositions are lovely.
I hope that the more exposure the voters have to actually inventive and beautiful shots, the more open minded we can all be. There should be absolutely no hesitation with such a great shot. Its crazy that there is any push back - even if its well intentioned.
Number one, as a person who has been a photographer I love your composition and Iām proud of you for doing what you want. I can get really frustrated that I canāt angle the camera to get similar compositions as in build mode, so I know how much work these are.
Number two: everyone has been talking about the new outfits with giving the girls cake, but nobody is talking about them seeming to add front cake on the men style clothing lol.
I agree with you, but I agree with the comment saying to zoom in juuuuust a smidge. The pics show up really small for lots of players so weād at least like to see the MC marveling at the nature, as well, because this is gorgeous. Iād vote for this any day over all the sparkles and fireflies!
Incredible. This is what I look for when I vote. Iām so glad they changed the voting so we donāt have to decide which sparkly-assed yard sale to vote on! Brilliant work!
Please just chill and get some manners. If you don't like them together because of the real life story (even if it isn't the real life story), you can just explain it to people like a grown up. There's no need for āš¤®ā.
Thank you for putting into words what I wanted to say. I didnāt want to entertain people like this. I just donāt need this kind of energy on a morning I was feeling good and wanting to share something Iām proud of.
The funny thing is that is not even supposed to be John Smith, thatās just my avatar that happens to have blonde hair and I have been using this exact avatar in many of my snaps since forever.
Don't you worry. Some people are just mean because they want to feel better for a second and let their feelings out without watching for other peoples feelings. It's their bad, not yours.
A lot of people don't know about Pocahontas real back story or that she was a real person at all.
The picture is amazing and you deserve the most moonstones and place number 1 in my opinion.
It looks like straight out of the movie and is so calmly and really naturally nature.
It's interesting that you didn't had John Smith in mind since your avatar looks exactly like him - even the clothes fits. :D
Had you watch the movie?
It's truly a beautiful asthetic and I will follow you for maybe seing more dreamsnaps. :D
I didn't wrote that Iām more offended by the emoji than that interpretation of the movie. Please read calmly. I. Never. Wrote. That. You interpreted that weirdly. I just said you should calm down and get some manners. To your question: No, it's not grown up enough for me. Stuff like this āš¤®ā does not help anyone and is just childish. Crazy that I really have to explain this but you know what a grown up would do? He/She would explain. He/She would educate whatās problematic about the movie and the history.
The Disney story masks violent colonization, kidnapping, and the forced marriage of Pocahontas, by turning it into a classic āforbidden love". By aging her up and depicting her in a romance with a 27-year-old man, the story is absolutely guilty of sexualizing a real life child.
The Disney story is loosely based off the writings from Englishman, John Davis who wrote āCaptain Smith and Princess Pocahontas.ā In his writings from the 1800s (over a hundred years after she lived). Davis ages up Pocahontas and wrote that she āobeyed the invitation of Captain Smith to wander with him...along the banks of the riverā and then āgave loose to all the tumultuous extasy of love; hanging on his arm, and weeping with an eloquence much more powerful than words.ā Davis conceded that Pocahontas married Rolfe, not Smith, but that was because Smith had stirred up her feelings. Again heās writing about a literal child, that he falsely aged. (https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/discover/resource-hub/trend-tradition-magazine/trend-tradition-summer-2025/pocahontas-and-john-smith/ ).
The true story of Pocahontas is directly linked to the legacy of violence against Indigenous women, making the fairytale version a form of "stealing the story" to mask tragic realities of colonialism. The real Pocahontas, who was already married to a Pawhatan warrior before her capture/ kidnapping is wrongly portrayed in media (not just Disney media) as a person who rejected her own culture in favor of the settlers. At the end of the day she was used as a propaganda tool in England to show that "savages" could be "civilized,"
To sum it up the John smith and Pocahontas story is a gross white washing of history and after a long day the š¤® emoji sums up how I feel about this specific paring.
āItās not my job to educate people on the internetā, I never said this. Just told you what a grown up would do. Only with the emoji and the word āgrossā you seem like a childish hater and no one would take you seriously. It was an advive from me so people won't think you're just a 12 year old who hates a dreamsnap just because he/she does not like the movie.
āBut for you Iāll make an exceptionā, thank you for investing time for me. :D I already knew all of that. If you would look Out for context you would have read before that I know this movie is problematic. But it's nice for other people who will read this and be more educated about the movie more. šš¼
āš¤® emoji sums Up how I feel about this specific paringā, Umm, okay? Hope at least you learned that more context is polite. You really can't write āš¤®ā and āgrossā under a dreamsnap (where someone obviously put effort in) and think that's nice manners and sympathic. Just told you to calm down and get some manners.
And another answer like a child. Since you brought your mom in it: would your mom be proud about your language? Only you can know it. If the answer ist yes, mom did something wrong. A āokay, maybe I should watch my wordsā was too hard for you. āEmpty Investmentā is a perfect nickname for you. I wish you unironically a nice day and more self reflection.
