i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

House windows - shut
Air conditioning - set to high
Fans - also set to high
Curtains - closed
Dog blanket - in the basement
Doggie downers - administered
I hid the pills in wet dog food. Ella and Oliver know what Pill Pocket "treats" mean and won't eat those anymore. They didn't know pills were in the wet food and each one wolfed it down in two gulps. So that worked.
And… the first firecracker just went off. Not perfect timing, because the drugs take a while to kick in. The noise of the fans though does a pretty good job of masking booms that aren't close to the house.

"May the Force be with you" Josh told the other with a playful smirk. "I don't know what to say after the interesting few weeks we had. I'm not good with processing emotions."

I spend half of the day cooking (ramen for our session DnD tomorrow) and I really hope the stuff had turn out okay. Usually, our DM does the cooking as well but since he always does it, I wanted to give him a break. I like cooking a lot (especially with friends) but cooking for larger groups does stress me out more than I expected.

I am in Athens rn it's late and my flight is buttfuck early tomorrow so I just stepped outside to the first restaurant near my hotel. It is a Greek restaurant serving Greek food in Athens Greece. I get seated next to a very American family. Mackhenzyie McAmerican was looking at the menu and asked the waitress "now the fried cheese.... is it like cheese sticks?" The waitress' English was really good and I don't know her life but I'm going to hazard an assumption and say she is probably not incredibly familiar with a US supermarket freezer section. So she said uhhh no they are circles. Which made me laugh a lil bit I'm ngl. And McAmerican like no like are they yellow cheese sticks? And this poor waitress. She said they are saganaki cheese and that's yellow kind of? And at this point instead of being a normal human being and saying fried mozzarella. She just kept saying yellow cheese sticks. Shes like the fried yellow cheese sticks that you get at restaurants everywhere (again, she said this to a Greek waitress at a Greek restaurant serving Greek food in Greece) the waitress just kept saying I'm sorry they are circles the chef can't make them into sticks. Eventually Mackhenzyie says you know the mozzarella sticks. And the waitress said no they are saganaki cheese. We don't serve fried mozzarella. My fucking god.
And then McAmerican pulls out the trump card and says well why not. We went to the restaurant down the street yesterday and THEY had cheese sticks. Which the waitress in her infinite patience said something along the lines of "okay".
I am not a pretentious tourist by any means like if you want to fly international just to sit in your hotel scroll instagram reels and eat McDonald's whatever it's your vacation and your money do what makes you happy. But why the FUCK would you go to a Greek restaurant and expect an Applebees menu.
