guys be honest is it insane to make a presentation ranking zelda games for a real life college class
#i will be giving this presentation on election day. which i feel like adds to the vibes#art school is so unserious and everyone LITERALLY ALREADY KNOWS IM LIKE THIS but STILL#personal#i have like 4 days to come up with another topic and if i cant then this is what they're getting.#btw the criteria for the presentation is that it needs to be under 15 minutes and somehow tangentially related to art or illustration.#which is INSANELY broad but i feel like if i rank the art direction it works. at least one person has already done a video game presentatio#um. anyways

thinking about darry curtis in high school just being a dumb kid. sure he got boy of the year and was captain of the football team and was super smart and what not but he was also a kid and kids (especially those who want to fit into a mold) do stupid shit. he partied and got drunk and came home after curfew and argued with his parents and argued with his brothers and set off fireworks recklessly and had a temper that would build and build until there was nothing left but rage and he tried to be what everyone else wanted him to be but they never asked what he wanted and all he wanted was to get out of tulsa. but that was years ago. he’s stuck here now
#darry curtis you make me weep#the fandom always talks about how he wanted to be a soc and shit#(which is another topic for another day)#but he was just a goddamn kid#AHHHHHHHH#the outsiders#hope speaks#darry curtis#sodapop curtis#ponyboy curtis#dallas winston#johnny cade#steve randle#two bit mathews#mrs curtis#mr curtis

In Time and Stars
#in stars and time#isat#siffrin#josh art tag#been wanting to practice less “literal” drawings....#like people doing a certain thing or being in a certain place or even just standing there#and instead do more like conceptual stuff?? idk how to word it#but i love doing stuff like this#and i feel like i havent done it in a while#i think last time i did was early in the year when i was still really into the Magnus Protocol#and was illustrating lines from each episode#some of which are my best performing art ever lol#i still remember my sibling telling me they had come across my art on their dash and later on their insta explore page#they had apologized since me and my sibs have an agreement to not search for or interact with each other online just for privacys sake#but i found it both funny and kinda insane#was not expecting my art to get big enough to find its way to that sib lol#uuuhhhhh anyway back on topic#ive had this idea of a siffrin illustration where either have their face or the back part of their head being a clock#and i tried a couple drafts in my sketchbook#and ended up liking this one! it had the addition of the shooting star and from then i toyed with the idea of adding the title text#i have another less literal piece for zelda that i wanna do#but i also wanna work on my isat animatic#....and i also wanna play stardew....#i need more hours in the day 😔

Today I was interviewed by Newsweek regarding the new CDC autism prevalence rates in the United States and comments made by HHS Secretary RFK Jr. What RFK Jr. has said today is absolutely despicable, regurgitating rhetoric from 20 years ago that strips away the humanity of all autistic people, and that so many of us have fought back against. We have always been here, and we always will be.
The full video of my interview can be watched at top of the page at the link below!
#off topic#personal post#autism#autism spectrum#world autism month#autism acceptance month#vaccines do not cause autism#which shouldn't even have to be said at this point#and yet#the turnaround time on this was insane btw#interviewed and went up in a matter of hours#i was also contacted by another media outlet#they couldn't fit me into the piece but they're keeping my contact info#craziness#truly a whirlwind of a day#interview

Did Lady manage to help exorcise and/or destroy Alfred for good or are the jumper cables whispering a little too loud in my ear
lady hasn't appeared publicly yet back in 1985 and was observing everything from the shining time world. she did turn alfred into a ghost, after all, and held some sort of attachment to the people she imbued with the gold dust. in the end though she believed that alfred being sent back to the shining time world is justice. it was the younger rws trio (more like edward since he's a gold dust patron like alfred) that exorcised him. since alfred masqueraded as a human but had no known relatives the railway held a small funeral for him. nobody knew what to say during the eulogy since he was so esoteric. but like the deeply condescending kind. gordon thought it was the worst funeral he's ever attended
#asks#smitemeister#ttte alfred#ttte lady#casa tidmouth#michael jackson lowering someone's gun gif but me @ you with the jumper cables#unlike thomas' golden whistle that can turn ghosts into gold dust edward probably absorbed some of alfred's hence making him weaker#and more transparent to the point it's nigh impossible to perceive him#that the only way he's able to physically exist is in the abstract shining time world#alfred did return to sodor because lady felt bad and thought it'd be fun (''okayyy ^_^ but be nice'')#but now he's not as powerful as he was before which paved way for the main antagonist diesel 10#keep in mind that atp lady was still her loving-humans-but-in-the-way-a-scientist-loves-their-pet-guinea-pig self#(but that brings forth a topic about how she's just doing what she's expected to do and unable to put herself in other's shoes)#(WHICH IS A HUGE CAN OF WORMS TO OPEN. FOR ANOTHER DAY)

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast
.
#oooh another tiny machete sighting!#I don't know but I find it just so endearing that people are out there doodling his weird little face#on post it notes corners of scrap paper and at work#I do that too but then again I'm rotating him in my head at least fifteen times a day so I kind of have to#the WHISKERS ah#scruffy little animal#putting him in my pocket and taking him to the grocery shop as we speak#thank you! and I'm glad you've been enjoying my art!#I've always had a little difficult relationship with pinterest because a lot of art gets uploaded there without proper sources or credit#and whenever a piece of yours gets reposted sourcelessly often enough you kind of end up losing ownership to it which isn't fun#it gets used without artist's consent as bootleg prints and shirts and tattoos and such#but lately a lot of people have come to me saying they discovered my stuff through pinterest#or had seen my character there and recognized it later when they came across one of my own posts#and it's always very nice to hear that I'm glad you've found me here#but I'm getting very off topic didn't mean to ramble like that#gift art#answered#wwildcatt#own characters#Machete

I love canon Belle, Jasmine, Mulan and Tiana, but I absolutely detest their fanon versions. Talk about being grossly misunderstood and/or reduced to a set of very specific personality traits and have everything else about you and what you learned completely wiped away to serve as a vessel for fandom to project their own insecurities and ideologies.
#belle#jasmine#mulan#tiana#disney#disney princesses#meta#disney meta#txt#i specially can't stand fanon belle and mulan like who are those women? lmao#i could elaborate further on this topic but my brain isn't working at the time so i'mma leave it for another day#but yes i'm so tired of the disney fandom altering their characters to serve their “strong independent woman” propaganda bs#because that is what it is about at the end of the day#which is truly another form of “i'm not like other girls”

you know what I've been thinking about for the past few days is like. iroh atla, as a very flawed man and a link in the chain of generational trauma, because it recently occurred to me that. like.
like iroh is an incredible firebender right. but at no point in the show do we see him displaying the sheer power azula or ozai does, his mastery comes significantly more from his flexibility and creativity and willingness to learn from unconventional sources (most notably the dragons and waterbenders). and while its possible thats just a choice he makes because of the destructive nature of fire, i really don't think it is, i think he grew up having to find ways to supplement his training to keep up with his prodigy younger brother.
#i have more to say on the topic and probably Will#but its been rattling around in my mind for days#atla#text#atla text#another thought i keep having is that iirc iroh is the shortest adult man we even See in the show which#you know i never really questioned or took note of because it just kind of seemed like visual shorthand for Old#but the more i think about it and the emphasis the fn put on like innate superiority...

If any non-writers want to have a glimpse into what it's actually like to write, then here. I've been stuck on this lame half-sentence for approximately thirteen days now.
#rambly little life updates in the tags. just chatting!#anyways this last little bit of Method Acting isn't going to be much over ~2k and I actually mean it this time.#I know I go over projected word counts constantly but I really think I know what I need to do with this and it shouldn't take long#and yet I can't get it down. I've got some parts of it in another doc but it's not cohering yet.#Why do I have to have an actual life that I need to do things in? why can't I just stare at google docs 24/7???#worrying about life stuff is my number one writing block inducer and unfortunately it's a busy time of year.#I'm finishing my degree in the next month which is great but the job market is... not the best right now ❤️ which is stressful.#so I guess I'll have a lot more time on my hands soon but I'm not really happy about it lol. I'd rather be employed but alas.#I live in a federal worker heavy area so you can imagine that the local job market is a little chaotic and crowded at the moment.#lots of very experienced people are back to job searching right now.#I think I'll do some volunteering with either the library or some clerical work with the local fire/rescue squad and see how that goes.#I need to pad my resume. I HAD a good one to go into the veterinary field but that derailed circa 2020#and unfortunately I don't know how far I'll get in non-medical non-animal fields with a skillset like 'reading dog radiographs'#or 'proficient in catching and handling reptiles'. they don't really need that in a hotel receptionist.#well. nobody THINKS they need that until there's a rat snake where it doesn't belong (which is their favorite place to be) but I digress.#so anyways now I'm kind of aimlessly wielding a gen studies degree amidst a collapsing... well. everything. a collapsing everything.#but hey. I've got The Characters to get me through it.#if nothing else then I have some yeehaw escapism and other wips/some oneshot ideas to start messing around with.#this got very off topic but oversharing online is ALSO something I've got to get me through it 😅#we do what we can these days.

You know, say what you want about Terry, but you gotta admit he put his whole pussy into playing Javert.
Like he had a part to play and he played it for sure.
#american arcadia#Javert#Terry Robinson#Like yeah#he actively auditioned to basically chase an terrorise this poor man but#he was really good#also its all part of the whole normalisation of arcadia and the degree of seperation that makes people not see the arcadians as human beings#which is a topic for another day#american arcadia spoilers

i have a headache
#i've been stuck scrolling instagram for the past few days#i don't even like being on there#modern ig is so overstimulating everything is either a reel or a reel in disguise or an image post that inexplicably has audio#i kept making myself go on there because i wanted to find a way to make art friends or a community or w/e#and i thought if i had more of a presence and interacted more i'd eventually get people to like. talk to me and comment stuff ig. idk#but ughhhh#i don't think insta is a good platform for that cause it's either pictures with a short caption or the worst media format known to man#like. idk i wanted to find and follow and be friends with and be Cool Artists (don't ask me to define that)#but no artist on instagram is a Cool Artist because there's no goddamn text on there#like if it makes sense i wanna find people who talk About art as well#but not in an art Discourse way#which is another thing. even if instagram had more Talking it would still be shit because the mainstream 'art community' is insufferable#art tiktok is that on steroids#and instagram is is bootleg tiktok#the same five discourse topics jokes memes advice whatever the only difference is now they're circlejerking about ai too#i wanna be Casual and Spontaenous and Mysterious and shit but IG's layout makes me feel like i can't just post whatever#i feel this pressure to give my posts all the same format and add tags and do this and do that and have good Branding or w/e#and it's just ughhh why can't I be a famous enigma (<- doesn't make or share anything)#even on tumblr the pressure is the same#and at the same time i hate looking back on my art accounts (both ig and here) because it just. doesn't align with what i wanna do#like my attempts at categorising and tagging and being consistent#it's just so. yuck#i want to have a Good Brand but i also want to be 'real' but then i look back at my disjointed messy past work and i cringe#i think i need to block my irls from my art accounts bc i feel super embarassed trying to do any typical Get Noticed on Social Media thing#cause it feels embarassing being seen doing shit that's ''influencer-y'' (idk what to call it)#cause it feels out of character to how i actually am in real life#but also why i do want to show my ''real'' character? I'm not cool#and that's another thing I've had these accounts for ages#looking at my past posts makes me fuckign cringe#I want to purge them or start over

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"
#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall#y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these#rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything#BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes#'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and#acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something#managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show#''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was#set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol#OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting#around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye#BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by#putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones#when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or#magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like#'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i#the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action#fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally#defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just#opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of#points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its#bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol#Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully#agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it
