I know I make this post every leak night but genuinely wholeheartedly if u want a shonen that believes abusive fathers don’t inherently deserve forgiveness and actively does want to tackle the systemic issues it creates one piece is in fact Right There. Like I know it’s long and it’s older than this website and basically a meme at this point but I’m dead serious going from whatever bs was happening in jjk/bnha to one piece months ago was like a breath of fresh air it was like oh wow! A series written by someone who enjoys and respects his work and genuinely understands the themes he wants to portray how novel!

crazy how segments of the Pokemon fandom will act like it's a crime for younger fans to like the first generation they played the best when people whose favorite generation of Pokemon are gens 1-5 purely because it's the first game they played don't get the same hassle. literally what is the difference.

Just wanted to mention this to someone who does art and get their opinion on it:
Sometimes I see some artists do redraws of their old artworks or characters and think "Wow, uh... their older art looks better." Sometimes it's only mildly better, but other times it's vastly better. Like the Upgrade, Go Back! meme.
I understand that art skills are supposed to develop and change, hopefully for the better, but sometimes it just feels like they got... worse? Somehow? Idk. Maybe it's because they were copying another artist's style while finding their own, and it's their own style that doesn't vibe with me? Just curious what your thoughts are about this.
Also, your art has consistently been great, so this isn't directed at you.
I do see this on occasion yeah! usually (in my experience anyway) its because people take a sharp turn towards a stylization that either isn't to your or most people's tastes, or that they don't understand or are still developing. switching up how you stylize your art is like starting over in a sense, you're changing from what you have practice with and that's always going to cause you to revert some as you have to re-learn things you understood in your previous style. i had a pretty big style shift in 2014 when i took up the basis for how my art looks now, and i remember feeling like some of the stuff i was drawing might have looked better if i was using my older style instead. that's something artists just have to push through and figure out, and they'll likely come out of it a better artist than they were before. constructive critiques are a good way for them to figure out why their art might not be as "good" as it used to be, if they're open for those.
art is not always a linear journey, and i would also say things like passion and motivation have a part in it too. feeling inspired sparks you to make something the best it can be, if you're not feeling it (and esp if that feeling lasts for a long time) it'll leave you making decisions you otherwise would not have let fly, and that can result in worse art. and some of it is just personal preference! it's not that their art is better or worse, it's just different now, and maybe that doesn't vibe with you the same way their old stuff did. and that's fine 👍
(thank you! :3 i admittedly struggle a bit with Not Feeling It sometimes like i just described, so it's nice to know people still enjoy what i make when that feeling hits.)

Pulls into my desperation getting more constellation for Kaveh, it's C2 into C4 (yeah I'm one of Day 1 Kaveh holder lol) but I'm still happy getting Nilou + new costume looks very cute on her.
I kinda want play Nilou bloom since her first banner, it's just I don't have any spare gems until now (lol)
Additionally this pull kind alike desparation after think twice remembering Natlan, with no Columbina and Varka on first look means they will appear on late version (if playable) plus seems Capitano too still pretty far so yeah...

concept based on george in sam and colby’s videos:
for anyone who’s watched sam and colby before, you’ll know about this thing called the estes method. for anyone who hasn’t heard of this, the estes method is essentially where one person is blindfolded and has headphones on with loud radio static, so they can’t see or hear the other people, attempting to communicate in behalf of the ghosts to the people asking them questions.
so
imagine george doing the estes method, blindfold on and headphones blaring, right at the end of the process. sam, colby, and wilbur go to tap his shoulder to tell him it’s over, but wilbur decides to be a menace and pokes him in the side instead. george jumps, goes “don’t do that!” but he still can’t actually see or hear anything, so he doesn’t know who he’s directing it at or where it came from or if it’ll happen again or if it even happened at all.
so, madness ensues, and the pokes and tickles keep coming
every time he tries to reach up to pull the headphones or blindfold off, he’s attacked with tickles and has to slam his arms down again to avoid them. eventually the headphones fall off from his squirming, so he can actually hear the teases now, but the blindfold is still on so he can’t see anything that’s happening
bonus points if the other three start teasing him about how “we’re not doing anything, george! it’s the ghosts tickling you!” (idea courtesy of @mushiewrites) and more bonus points if they start teasing him about how “oh no, george, it seems the ghosts have possessed you, we have to get them out!”

Call me a sucker, but I really like the latest Paramount+ Home of Star Trek commercial
THAT SAID - the Prodigy erasure stings. To me it definitely feels like Paramount is implicitly saying it’s not a part of Star Trek anymore since it’s not on the platform
But if Threshold taught us anything, it’s that you can’t remove something from canon just because you decided you didn’t like it anymore. Prodigy is Star Trek, and it will continue being Star Trek even with a new home

Hi I noticed you have been in the deathnote fandom for a long time. Do you know some changes the fandom/ships went through? I already know that the misogyny towards misa used to be terrible
Thanks 🙏
Hi! Yes, I've been here a long time lmao
So from what I can recall things have actually stayed pretty remarkably the same when it comes to the popularity of the ships and dynamics in this series. Lawlight has always been the most popular ship, followed closely by M2 (Matt x Mello). However back in the mid/late 2000s it was different in terms of certain things, like the way the ships were referred to. For example, there was no such thing as a nickname for a ship as a whole back then - you didn't call it "Lawlight," you called it either "L/Light" or "Light/L." You had to specify which of the two you liked as the top by putting their name at the start of the pairing. They were treated almost like they were two entirely different ships, and people would definitely get upset if you weren't terribly careful about specifying this when posting shippy fics and things. This changed sometime between 2009-2012, maybe? Possibly around when "Brangelina" and celebrity couple nicknames like that became a thing in pop culture, lol. I am personally glad things are no longer this fussy about labeling and defining the ships, because I find it dumb and possibly a bit offensive towards gay folks to be that obsessive about their bedroom dynamics above all else. But I definitely still see people get very particular about their preferences for this stuff when it comes to their discussions of the ships these days too, so I might be the odd one out here.
Overall I'd say tolerance towards diversity of the pairings and appreciation of the more minor characters has increased? Stuff like pairing L with Matsuda or having het ships like B x Naomi wasn't terribly common back then, from what I remember. People won't hate on you and fight with you as much for daring to enjoy depicting the characters with somebody other than their fave in a story or a piece of art nowadays, either (like "how dare you pair L with somebody other than Light!" - this was a very common thing to hear back in the early fandom days, and people would often act like you were "cheating" on a character by shipping them with somebody other than the character they decided they belonged with.) And fans have also started showing more appreciation for the female characters and attempting to be more inclusive toward them than they used to be. There is a bit less hatred of characters like Near and more shipping of him now as well. Many people were extremely dismissive of him back in the day, and he has definitely grown in popularity over time.
In general I think the fandom has chilled out and diversified and become more tolerant and deeper and more accurate with the characterization in its discussion of the series overall, but I still often will see the exact same takes and trends and tastes and arguments going on now as I used to see back in 2008. Especially when I step outside of the Tumblr bubble and back into a broader/more casual group of fans talking about the series and their faves.
