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!

Citrine just got a SHIT TON of notes so imma post some doodles

The TF2 x SU au belongs to @lenny-link

I've been watching Hazbin Hotel in prime. Just watched episode 5 and I gotta ask

Why, oh, WHY DON'T I SEE MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT "MORE THAN ANYTHING" WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE HAZBIN HOTEL MUSIC???

Like I get it, the song before it "Hell's Greatest Dad" Is a bop reminiscent of other music from the era its parodying. I loved it.

BUT why are you only putting clips of that song when this MASTERPIECE comes a few minutes after

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this song. The visuals are beautiful, especially when we get moments like this where you can just see the absolute LOVE this man has for her daughter is so sweet and Heartwarming I just-

The voices are fenomenal but what else can you expect from the broadway talents of Erika Henningsen and Jeremy Jordan.

There is also the whole Symbolism with passing the baton to the next generation and stuff. I- I can't even get into the specifics right now Im too emotional.

But above all else THE LYRICS

ESPECIALLY THAT LAST ONE

"I'M GRATEFUL YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER/FATHER MORE THAN ANYTHING"

DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY?? CAUSE I AM. I AM BAWLING MY EYES OUT RIGHT NOW.

It's just so fucking beautiful man. Probably the best song I will hear all year. Obviously my favorite from Hazbin.

scar: i love the eye, love the eye- did you lose it?

I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao

*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress

secret life finale was so good it couldn’t have been better scripted.

first tango dies, as per tradition. everyone is making tentative last minute alliances, setting traps, strengthening defences.

skizz, betrayed by impulse, goes down, killed by what seems the lurking power of mounders + gem n scotts. etho is killed by an increasingly unhinged scar.

the pace quickens. martyn goes out, invisible and defenceless, the last big dog. bigb’s silver tongue goes still, and the heart foundation is lost.

cleo dies at her son’s hands, and so does grian at gem’s, but not before he leaves gem and co. crippled, ensuring that they can’t win. and that’s the last of the roomies.

it’s the mounders, gem and the scotts, and scar. 3v3v1. joel’s firework sets off the chaos, and scar finds himself, confusingly, with the mounders.

impulse sinks, the anchor to their band, leaving gem and scott hurting and confused. they kill off the other two mounders, leaving pearl, who doesn’t want to win, and scar, who needs to.

and then scott gives up his life for gem, and now it’s just the leaders of the two strongest alliances on the server… and scar.

gem’s angry and sad and grieving (she doesn’t know how this works, cleo said, she doesn’t know about loyalty), and as she swipes her sword uncertainly pearl junps in and scar deals the final blow.

and now it’s just scar and pearl, retracing seasons past, a battle both sides know who wins.

a cactus ring in the desert, a stack of tnt on a hill…

and the fifth winner stands, laughing and scarred.

the villain won.
