This has been something that's been on my mind recently.

We all know about a lot of the crossover projects Nickelodeon has been making in recent years, most notably the All Star Brawl games.

But one thing I never see anyone mention is something related to the Nicktoons representation in those crossovers.

That being there's like, NO representation for the Nicktoons from 2010s, with the exception of The Legend of Korra and The Loud House.

I guess you could count Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well given that they got TWO series in the 2010s, but they're always being represented by the 1987 characters (who weren't created by Nickelodeon, even though they have the rights to the show now).

When it comes to the Nicktoon representation, it's almost always the ones from the 1990s and the 2000s.

I think the reason why we never see any representation for the 2010s Nicktoons is because the 2010s is universally regarded as the dark age of Nickelodeon.

Not only did they lose their identity as a result of their pissing contest with Disney Channel, but they also released some of the worst outings in the Nicktoons line-up.

Planet Sheen, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Pig Goat Banana Cricket, and Bunsen is a Beast.

These shows were not well-received when they first came out, and even after all these years, they're still not held in high regards.

However, there were some diamonds in the rough.

There's the aforementioned Korra, Loud House, and TMNT shows.

But there's also Harvey Beaks and Welcome to the Wayne.

But as you can see, the actual good Nicktoons were somewhat few and far between.

Most of the ones being released were either at best mediocre, or worse, just shit.

But one thing that almost all of them share is that they left particularly NO impact on the channel.

And while this can largely be blamed on Nickelodeon's notorious and ridiculously high standards for ratings that were set by SpongeBob and their incredibly lousy scheduling, a lot of them were just not that good and didn't resonate with viewers.

This was also why many of them were short-lived, usually only running for two seasons.

And that's if your lucky.....

This would be made even worse when the shows were eventually dumped onto the somehow still-existing Nicktoons Network, a pre-paid channel that not everyone has, to die a slow and painful death.

Now I know some of you are gonna bring up other Nicktoons like Invader Zim and El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.

Just like most of the ones from the 2010s, both these Nicktoons didn't really do well and were incredibly short-lived, only running for one season.

So how come they're still being featured in the crossovers despite that when compared to many of their fellow Nicktoons, they weren't really all that successful?

I think the reason for that is because of their reception.

Both Invader Zim and El Tigre were incredibly well-received when they first came out, and despite their short runs, they were still able to muster pretty big fanbases that are still going strong to this day.

And it's pretty clear that Nickelodeon has noticed this, especially in the case of El Tigre.

Why else would the show not only be included in Nick All Star Brawl 2, but just a few months ago, receive it's very own art book?

In spite of how short-lived it was.

Most of the 2010s Nicktoons don't really have any notable fanbases to speak of.

Once again, because many of them were not good.

And even with the good Nicktoons from this time, they don't have that much of a fanbase.

Or at least ones as big as the ones for the 90s and 2000s Nicktoons.

Writing and animating are much the same. You plan out how it's going to go, you wing the important parts and get them nice and smooth, and then start doing the inbetween parts and go "shit. How do I do this part" and restart it. and then restart it again. and then go "oh shit actually the timing/pacing is off ehhh we'll just slide shit around. there we go :)" and then get frustrated editing everything.

and then you put out the finished product and go "wow! this is great! let's do that all over again! and immediately purge everything I just learned from my brain!"

Been doing a lot of animation lately, I don't think i've ever done or been so motivated to do so many ever. Doing so, i have learned a lot. Would defiantly wanna figure out more complex animations or just revisit and remaster some oldies i've done. IT really requires a lot of brain juice... How do i wanna position? how do i want to move a certain piece, stretch frames.... ewwqwd, fun though when you get urself into things

These ones specifically are old but it is like a.. SCRIBBLY animation(considered complete), that i really enjoy doing. Really needed to know how i wanted the scene to feel. But would like to do more free style scribbles like this

hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO some of the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we can beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. in many cases, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, bowhead whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

Aren't plushies beautiful? They were created so a sick child had something to hold. They were created so an adult living alone might have a friend to keep them company. They were created for a teenager to clutch to her chest as she cries. They were created to accompany a college student to his geology classes. They were created not for any material benefit, they don't change tires, but to be loved.

They were created for the purpose of love.

sukuna loved to say “whatcha runnin from” whenever he knew you couldn’t handle it. your face smashed in the pillow while he fucked into you roughly. not a gentle bone in his hips as his balls smacked again your pussy, making your legs shake a little bit more. sex with sukuna was like a rollercoaster. it felt so good, the rush of everything- but in the end you would still scream, saying it’s enough knowing you wanted to ride it one more time. “tell me you love me precious” his rough hands rubbed your back deeping your arch. “l-love y-ya”

your brain was mushy just like your pussy. your nails clawing at his dark satin sheets trying to take some out, but it never helped; in fact it only made him go harder. angling his foot up to push his thickness down your hole more and more. every vein bumping against your gushy walls. cream seeping from where you both connected. “you love who?” this was all a game to sukuna, he loved getting on your nerves. “youuuuuhh fuck!” you ass cheeks clenched together, big silky white globs of cream making a messy on the pretty cock and sheets. grunting, sukunas balls scrunched, his dick jerked, and the smirk on his face only grew.

“don’t know a you baby” his pumps grew weaker but faster. him desperately trying to chase the high. your pussy opened and closed around him. your hiccuped moans making the moment so much pleasurable. and as you screamed his name, his cock filled your pretty pussy with all it had to give.

“i love sukunaa!”
