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!
#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

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."

just sat through the most horrible, awkward, tense dinner I've ever experienced in my whole life
#my bf's family was in town to see the eclipse#he was like 'hey do you wanna get dinner with us after?'#and he's met my entire family so even though i didnt want to it was only fair.#anyway his uncle picks us up at my apartment. his sister is in the car.#no one asks who or how i am and i do not get introduced nor have the chance to introduce myself#for like a good 3-5 minutes. off to a bad start.#we get to the restaurant. a pizza place. his family is already seated.#no one except for his grandparents acknowledge me. they are the only 2 people to talk to me directly for the entire meal.#his grandfather asks some stuff about my life. i answer normally. he veers off into tangents that i can only respond to with 'haha'#or a smile and nod bc they are so personal that i literally have nothing to add#the children in the family spill water everywhere. there is yelling in the public restaurant while my bf goes and gets napkins#like a normal person might do#despite being at a pizza place everyone decides to order an individual dish instead of something to share#this might be fine if there were only 4 of us. there were 10.#they get mad when the food takes over an hour to come#at this point i wished i had ordered a cocktail#his uncle is the most awkward person ive ever met. he quotes outdated memes out loud.#at one point everyone except for me and my bf was on their phones#his grandfather shows me vulgar facebook posts#what is WRONG with people#im going to shower and change into my jammies and have a drink and watch something stupid#i need to cleanse myself of this whole. thing.#txt

whenever i tell my mom that i got a certain amount of money back in a tax return and how i'm happy about that, she's always like "that's bad actually, because that means they were taking too much money from you and..." i do not care. i have money. i got my personal little stimulus check. my biden benjis. this information means nothing to me.

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.

Having salivated over European food yesterday, here’s the head children’s takes on gastronomy:
#just pav things#Inigo’s favourite food has and will always be paella 🥘#that or a good creamy risotto. rice in it’s most flavourful and nutritious forms is his comfort food ✨#And it makes sense because rice is filling! It helps tide over the heightened anxiety that comes with not eating for long stretches of time#And he also has an affinity for seafood considering he was born in Seraphin. The fondness for it is in his blood.#Especially prawns~ (good thing Amonea has many of them!)#Dism’s tastes in food lies more in the rich saucy/soupy realm of dishes#like coq au vin because I can tell he would like chicken the best#though if he’s anything like me than rajsko omačka should be his favourite 😋#he loves soup and stew :) (remember he had all the time in the world once to slow cook and develop the flavours of these to heaven ✨)#Cynthia’s palate can only be described as unrefined but she loves pizza (don’t they all? don’t we all?)#Matching her high sugar intake anything with a high amount of lipids (fats) is also in her tastes#like cheese and fried things and fried cheese (have u ever tried a cheese schnitzel? THEY’RE SO UNHEALTHY BUT THEY’RE GREAT)#Archie likes his food spicy >:3 He has a much higher spice tolerance than his brother#It’s a direct influence of the spiriters btw. They’ve dulled his sense of taste alongside his vision#And so Archie enjoys spicy things because he can feel something actually ✨#He also likes his starches in the form of noodles 🍝 (Dism is privy to potatoes— especially mashed potatoes— instead)#Archie will eat literally anything though let’s be real. He’s gone through too much food insecurity to be picky#He’d still cry (positive) if you gave him a beautiful cut of red meat though#Very much an enjoyer of bourguignon :> or steak. he’s more carnivorous than one might assume looking at his physique#And unlike the flavour enthusiasts that are the boys Idyllia much prefers things that are subtle and reserved#lending herself more towards pudding and yoghurt and crème brulee#or waffles with maple syrup! Croissants! Flaky little pastries! Things that are easily digestible bc of her medical treatment#And Archie’s kids? Luna likes foods with soft textures. Theon has no preferences because of his upbringing and finds ordering food hard#Ewan is notoriously picky but he likes homestyle creamy cooking with game meat. I like the implied cannibalism that arises from this.#Rabbits ofc are game meat and honestly if the people of Phyme were eating each other that would only add to the cult vibes ✨✨✨✨

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.

Here’s a stupid meme that I spent probably too long working on and giggling to myself over.
