[genericpuff]

Hey so I have a question-

Is Rachel even contributing to LO's art anymore? Like, at all?

CAUTION: MILD FASTPASS SPOILERS AHEAD !!!

I've talked at length about the 'tells' of each assistant and artist, and while it doesn't guarantee that I can tell exactly who drew each panel, there's one thing there's been a lot less of in the most recent episodes that have caught my attention - things that I know Rachel would typically contribute.

And most of it comes down to her lineart.

The shading was always her, no doubt about that, you could tell with how consistently awful it is, how she would take actual decent flats from her assistants and proceed to butcher them with muddied shading.

AmyKim89's flats vs. after Rachel's gotten her hands on them:

(seriously Rachel why tf did you darken Persephone's legs here, it looked so much better before ??)

But there was also her lineart which, at first, I didn't realize who was drawing it. It didn't show up super often in LO but it was always very noticeable when it did so I knew it had to be someone on the team doing it:

The thickness of the lines and the extra little strokes added in along the knuckles and bends, that wasn't something that was really common in LO at this point... at least it hasn't been since S1:

And when comparing it to the lineart she used to do in The Doctor Pepper/Foxglove Show:

(look at the mouth in The Doctor Foxglove Show vs. Hera in the pilot version of LO, they're literally the same)

So yeah, it was certainly the revelation to discover that that one instance of "weirdly detailed lineart" wasn't one of her assistants having a little extra fun, it was Rachel herself. It was already so uncommon for her to contribute all the way back in S2 that her contributions seemed to be more of the exception rather than the norm.

And since seeing the art that's been in the newest FP episodes following the return of the series... is Rachel even drawing at all anymore? Because lately the lineart has felt very thin, in a way that I can't tell if it's her assistants just doing all the lineart now or if she's trying to emulate S1 LO more by using less lineart. But S1 didn't have thin lineart, it had very thick lineart, BUT only being used where necessary to emphasis shadows and depth.

Now the lineart feels very... dinky? Especially when you look at the eyelashes.

That said, there are moments from S1 that had similarly 'dinky' lineart, so take this with grains of salt. It still didn't feel as dinky though as it does today where the lines are practically non-existent in how thin they are.

There are also times when you can tell they're really trying to emulate that S1 look, the pieces are there but they aren't being put together very well:

So yeah at this point I wouldn't even be shocked if all Rachel's doing at this point is scripting and roughs. And considering there are definitely times where she'll just draw without knowing what to write, the 'scripting' is also practically non-existent. It's just her leaving her roughs off to the last second for her assistants to whip out with very little time to pay attention to what's being submitted.

Once again it's Rachel fundamentally missing the point of the criticism that's being made of her work. She's trying to forcefully emulate something that she didn't even have a process behind. I can attest as someone who's been trying to do studies of her past work to recreate it as faithfully as possible through Rekindled, it's very difficult to achieve the 'old LO' look because 'old LO' was literally just Rachel slapping down brush strokes until they looked good, there was no specific process or guidelines that she followed, she just made things look textured and colorful. Everything else was basically up to her figuring out what actually looked good, with panels often having their own vibes separate from others in isolation of one another.

Now she's trying to replicate that look while missing the point entirely that it's not something she can really replicate anymore. Though we do get the odd panel that's way closer to the point, those panels have one thing that she's clearly not putting into the comic as a whole anymore - love and effort.

(fr this panel is so gorgeous but I feel like at this point it was more sheer luck because of how rare it is to see panels like these nowadays, this feels like an accident LOL)

Case in point, this honorable mention towards Persephone's outfit which is literally just a color-swapped version of the sketch that Rachel posted to Blue Sky that got meme'd to death in the ULO sub:

Did you catch that though? The weird dark patch over her boob and the gap in the lineart of her cleavage?

That's because they copy pasted the first panel and then erased out the hands, but missed the part of the hand shading that was overlapping the breast and the gap in the lineart.

I shit you not, Rachel coming up with memes on Blue Sky that she's scraped out of shows she watched 20 years ago is basically the full extent of her writing at this point.

Haha take a thing and make it bigger! So funnyyyy!

(seriously Rachel's 'humor' feels like it's stuck in 2010)

Yep, you're really earning that #1 NYT Bestseller label that you haven't even gotten since Volume 3, Rachel. Put your hand down, there are no high fives for you here.

You probably get this a lot but I love Parsley so much

not as often as you'd think considering it still comes as a surprise every time i receive messages like this. it's been 3 years and it still baffles me whenever people express interest in them, moreso when people i don't personally know recognize them in art & are excited to see them because for me they're like. this oc that maybe 5 of my friends are aware of that i sometimes become annoying about, so i'm truly very grateful. thank you very much for liking them :)

please enjoy this image of parsley (real!) next to my tomato sprouts

this fandom fucking hurts

mentally, emotionally, physically. It hurts so much

I had my very first panic attack because of the false allegations placed onto me a year ago is cropping back up, only this time worse. The fucking thumbnail artist reblogged it for gods sake! Everyone now sees my mistake and my year of trying to become a better person is worthless. I want to relapse so badly. I want to grab that same fucking knife and make another attempt because then I know for sure it can’t continue to haunt me. because people don’t care that I still to this day feel guilty for everything that I did. I was pushed so far by them that I thought I had to self harm in order to make up for it, I almost actually did but I was forcibly switched out by one of our gate keepers. People don’t care if I tried to get better. They only care to condemn me because the doc left out so many important details such as I was the one to inform them it was grooming. I was the person who told them what they went through shouldn’t have happened. I was more than willing to do anything that I could to make it up to them and I did. They just couldn’t stop being mad at me. It’s understandable given I am not owed acceptance or forgiveness for what I did. But people won’t ever know that because I try to keep personal details in private. It’s even worse now that the doc doesn’t bother to censor anything, even the porn that I drew of myself! Big blogs like the thumbnail artist willing rebloged a doc knowing their audience is minors! My sexual preferences are personal ! I feel violated! I feel exposed and scared!

No one that would have the reach would be willing to give me the benefit of the doubt because The thumbnail artist already reblogged it with tags that pointed to it being only a year ago as early. This could’ve happened 2 or 3 years ago and it still would count as early

why am I constantly villainized by everyone?! I try and try and try and try!!! But it’s still not enough!! Nothing I do ever is enough for people!!

I had to delete this app and my bookmarks of it because of how badly this all was affecting me. I was getting physically ill. I had a migraine so bad the pain was white. Fuck!!

I’m a physically and mentally disabled adult who has to juggle some sort of stress 24/7. I can’t get a break! What more do people want from me?!

ok. come here. do you not like vegetables? that is possibly perfectly valid. i know some of them don't taste great on their own or have weird textures. you don't have to like them.

but before you do completely write them off, here's a tip. take it or leave it. you don't have to. just a tip. look up some south asian recipes. ask your brown friends. hell, if you want tell me a vegetable you want to try cooking in a new way and i'll drop some recipes. you don't have to like every vegetable. but especially if your issue with them is the taste, consider trying some desi recipes.

Handplates gaster gets off scott free after abusing his 2 kids.

**that's a bunch of bullshit I hate it**

[jackienautism]

i rant about resident evil and their writing / inclusion of the girls.

i jsut want 2 girls to go on their fucked up little adventures together is that too much to ask

i finally got to the halfway point of code veronica X and GODDDD i fucking knew they were gonna do this goddamn shit w/ steve and claire. i knew from the goddamn beginning even if i didnt want to admoit it...... residetn evil just cant be normal w/ a girl being paired w/ a guy. they just fucking cant

i understand that this is seen more among the older games (ashley + leon from re4 as well) and i cant speak for the og re3 nemesis but the way they wrote carlos and jill? its just.... why make these male characters say such bizarre and degrading and just ? nasty comments towards the female protag? do you really expecvt us to root for them? i just dont fcuking undeerstand, and this occurs in a remake too! they didnt bother to maybe just maaaybe take that bulllshit out. because jill's uncomfortable. IM uncomfortable. its just. godddd who the fuck caaaares STOP THIS TROPE

you see this same thing w/ steve and claire.... not oonly is steve incredibly fucking annoying the first second we meet him, he also continually acts as a nuisance towards her for a good quarter of the game. yeah sure theyre just building up to the Ground Breaking Emo backstory drop later, but. you already made me fucking hate this loser so goddamn much meaning im not gonna give a single shit about his development later. I JUST DONT CARE FOR HIM !!!!!! THEM MAKING HIM SO ANNOYINH RUINED ANY CHANCE OF ME CHANGING MY MIDN LATER.......

and GOD havent even mentioned this yet but. when i saw the little preview thing w/ the 3 characters w/ claire + chris i saw [steve] and went.... [eyeballs] hello whos this? long story short i thoiught he was a butch lesbian and i got SO excite d b c residtn ebil has yet to pair a girl up w/ anothner girl around the same age but noooooo instead i got this pathetic loser of a man (derogatory). the closest we have to 2 girls being fucked up together is mia and zoe in re7. but thats like. mainly a side thing. and mia isnt even the protag so

which leads me to the next thng i wanted to talk about. i think mnmen are super cool ofc and i hate to be that Bitch and pull that Card but good freaking god why must there be a man FOR EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES...... andit woudlnt be huge deal if they were noraml w/ these pairings but theyre NOT..... THEY MAKE IT WEIRD EVERY SINGLE TIME..... STEVE LITERALLY ALMOST KISSES CLAIRE WHILE SHE'S ASLEEP........ CARLOS CONSISTENTLY MAKES UNNECESSARILY WEIRD COMMENTS TOWARD JILL......... ASHLEY RANDOMLY AWSKS FOR SEX AT THE END OF RE4............ WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AOBUT? good for ashley for shooting her shot i guess though but considering yhe game's previous comments towards ashleu and her figure.... it was blatantly put in to sexualize her furtyher

maybe its thr lesbian in me popping out maybe its the aromantic in me popping out WHO KNOWS all i know is that. resident evil makes me very upset sometimes dflkgnjg i love the games i love the characters (esp the girls big surprise i know) but jesus christ. somethings i just can't ignore. and this is cerrtainly one of them. a girl just can't exist out of a guy according to capcom. and that sort of idea is suuuper evident in how they portray and include their women. you could have a girl protag (re3, recv etc) but theres always a 99% chance theres gonna be a man tagging along + continually saving their asses and theres almost alwaysa an even HIGHER chance that theyre meant to be seen as a romantic interest! and its exhausting@!!!!!

long story short . i get im not resident evil's target audience . but im still gonna be pissed and annoyed . the girls deserve better .

im def gonna have to go more in depth abt resident evil and their writing of relationships (or lack thereof) some other time but just for now. the best written ones are claire + sherry and mia + ethan goodbye

OOOH for the ask meme 25!!! I love seeing what my irls wear for scents but with online friends/mutuals, we never get details like that since I cannot smell people through my screen, so do you have any signature scents or lotions you like???

I am being smelled.....

But I don't wear actual perfume, just scented soaps/sanitizers. (Not even a candle person smh)

I like fruity and flowery scents though! Apple, melon, citrus, that sort of thing. I just go to B&BW on occasion and have some favorites there. Honestly I really like the """mens""" stuff too (who cares who it's marketed at lol), I'll always pick that over something that's supposed to smell like cupcakes or whatever. Cannot stand dessert scents, it's too much. 😭

Rose scents are hit or miss, sometimes those can be too powerful. But a subdued thing that smells like leaves after a rain storm is wonderful :)

[skiploomz]

when people do "less than ten dollars!" type recipes nd the comments complain that they didnt include the price of the salt and pepper and oil or whatever. Like okay should they also include the cost of their oven and the price to install it and their gas and electricity bill.

I really like the fact that I can tell when a temporary alternative ADHD med isn't working as well by the manner of salt craving. And by "really like", I mean that I'm barely hanging on and want to pour an entire salt shaker's worth of salt down my throat at once.

Thrift Haul: Fuck, I Need Summer Clothes Edition

purple tank top. fulfills Tank Top Requirement for this year

pair of shorts I'm on the fence about (but my store doesn't have change rooms so I have to buy them, try them at home, and then decide whether to keep it return them)

3 button down short sleeve tops in various patterns. have decided that since high waisted stuff is the most comfortable for me I'm singlehandedly bringing back 2010s fashion. anyway I think these will go well with the skirts I acquired recently

books! a little book of Tim Wynne-Jones stories that looks interesting and a neat copy of The Yellow Wallpaper

adorable little dessert dishes that lowkey reminded me of the strawberry glasses from NANA. I NEED to get some ice cream now!!

crowning glory of my wardrobe: snarky Firefox shirt. Cannot wait to wear it to work lol
