THIS IS THE MIKE IN THE VR GAME THAT TENDED TO WILL

THIS IS THE ONE

#I know that he’s in his s3 outfit but why does Finn look a little younger here? #like maybe this was in between s2-3 or something??? #I never figured out where these photos were from does anyone know? #I feel like it’s some sort of panel/table read/interview but I have no clue #Mike wheeler #byler #< target audience HELP ME

My hot take for today is that anyone who thinks be more chill is cringe hates fun and also missed the entire lesson of the musical

#vio.txt #i saw it live and it was so fun #like it didnt have the slightly to very stuffy vibes more serious shows had and i got to see some serious talent and production #the story is fairly simple and its def absurd and its just a silly fun time!! #george salazar made me cry lmao. also i got stephanie hsu's signature!!!!! its a flex now lmao #the squip entrance also rocks #vpices in my head also made me cry live #bmc #be more chill #i am cringe but i am free!!! #i could tell by the live performance that the performers had more room to play and try fun riffs and things #the audience was ehhh bc it was a younger crowd but tbh older audiences are worse in a different way

The Percy Jackson Movies: the ideal adaptation for anyone who hasn’t read the books but likes the concept

The Percy Jackson Series: the ideal adaptation for new fans and younger fans

The Percy Jackson Musical: the ideal adaptation for older fans and fans who grew up with the books

#I was thinking about why the show was bothering me a bit #because it’s really good but #it’s so geared for younger audiences #and for some reason (as an older fan) I wasn’t expecting that? #but I went back to the pjo musical and it was just what I needed #but both the show and musical are very good #just very different in tone I think #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson musical #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show

Netflix needs to stop promoting ST as a teen show for season 5

#I remember seeing people all angry because s4 leant into the horror more #sir it has always been a horror/sci fi show #the horror is what makes the character-driven element so layered and compelling imo #I guess they advertise based on what garners they widest interest #(anyone remember what s3 promo season was like? sort of like that) #but I want them to go all out with s5 #the way they originally wanted the show to go #and for promo to reflect that #this is worded so poorly sorry #but it was always supposed to be directed toward older audiences and they were surprised to see the young audience it garnered too #stranger things #byler #<- target audience #st5 speculation #I’m not saying teens can’t watch and enjoy it #because tons of teens - my younger self included - love horror and can appreciate that element #but it’s not a teen drama show and some people treat it like it is #and act like there’s nothing to analyse or dig deeper into

a quick helpful reference guide:

Children's books - Target demographic is generally up to like age 10 - basically elementary school and below, for us Americans.

Middle-grade books - Target demographic is approximately middle schoolers (ages 11-15).

YA (Young Adult) - Target demographic is about 15-20ish year olds, so high schoolers and early college.

There is such thing as "upper middle-grade books" (targeted more towards the upper range of middle grade, so middle schoolers going into high school) and other such more specific intended target demographic age ranges within those groupings.

What these ranges mean is that the books differ in how they present subject matter to be appropriate to the intended audience demographic. Obviously, books geared towards younger kids are going to be shorter, use simpler language, and present concepts in ways that are easier to understand for younger children. As the target age demographic increases, the length, word choice, and presentation of topics will become more complex. The actual subject matter within the book itself is unrelated to this classification system for the most part - the books are graded on what's presumed appropriate for that age-range in terms of how children learn and their presumed literacy and reading comprehension at that age, rather than the topic itself.

Rick Riordan is a middle-grade author, and his books are usually middle-grade - including the entirety of the Riordanverse and Daughter of the Deep. The only exception is The Sun And The Star, which is loosely either upper middle-grade or YA, as Mark Oshiro is a YA author and co-authored it.

#rick riordan #< basically only gonna tag that cause this is more general books rather than pjo-specific #anyways stop calling Rick a YA author he's not #also QUALITY IS SUBJECTIVE TO THESE CATEGORIES #a book being shitty because it's middle-grade does not excuse it being shitty #it just means it's shitty and also middle-grade #in fact its probably more difficult to write well for younger age groups because you have to break down the concepts well #and your audience is less likely to have the life experience to understand certain references or experiences #and you need to take that into account #it doesn't mean they can't handle certain concepts or deserve shitty writing #some writing is just obectively bad from a structural standpoint

SSE, please change Alex's "saddle"

please can we start a petition, for SSE to give Alex a proper bareback pad without stirrups?

Every time I see it I just get the ick. I have no problem with her riding bareback, even the girth-saddle pad combo is okay, but the stirrups!

did they even do an ounce of research for this? All that weight on the stirrups, that would normally be distributed throughout the saddle tree, just gathers on the horses withers! and that can cause some gnarly infections, if used often.

I know it's just a game, but there are people out there who actually think these kind of bareback pads are okay. If you make a horse game, at least do some proper research. it's not only here where they clearly didn't educate themself enough, most recently the dutch warmblood got in a lot of heat, 'because they chose to give them the overbreed, abusive kind of extended trot.

#sso #star stable online #star stable #ssoblr #rant #don't get me wrong #I still love the game #but I think there are just some aspects that should be questioned #especially when you make a game for a younger audience #you should at least to the proper reseach

honestly my advice to anyone whining about how hard it is to let go of Harry Potter. Shut the fuck up and go read some Discworld youll get your fix of goofy-ass british wizards but like its actually good and interesting and written with even a modicum of empathy

#also its actually written for grownups! #(he did write some discworld books aimed at younger audiences tho--the tiffanny aching series was my favorite as a kid)

Tbh i dont think ive ever seen anyone draw ariana griande drag enough. Where is her makeup. Where is her wig. Where are her fake eyelashes. Where are her sequins. Her WIG? Whys she always looking like a femboy? This is a queen

I specified in my blog intro that this blog is for all ages and is SFW aside from brief mentions of sex (which tend to be in the context of asexuality) and I was just about to add a sidenote that I do swear a lot until I realized that just because I'm 18 now that doesn't mean it's illegal for me to type the word 'fuck' when a minor might read it

#idk how many younger followers i have but i know there's a few who are Young #what am i even saying. i have been an adult for one week. i am like young as fuck #idk how old my followers are i just know they range from kids who aren't in high school yet to adults with jobs #anyways i think the younger folks in the audience can handle me saying fuck. no need to cover your ears. or eyes ig cause i'm typing #off-topic

[scorndotexe]

people don't give kids enough credit tbh like i was there reading murder mysteries as an eight year old you don't need your mysteries to have zero death or murder or anything if you wanna appeal to children

#''i could do a murder mystery story'' '“you should think about your younger audience as well'' #a) not everything is for everyone. b) kids like murder mysteries #i hate art school so much #persimmon's rambles

[starrybobatea]

absolutely nothing on god’s green earth could ever make me hate her btw

#i would die for her and i’m not even joking #‘’they only included her to appeal to the younger audience’’ nah bro they made her FOR ME #thank you so much to whoever came up with her character i owe you my life #she’s easily one of if not the best thing added to megamind lore idc #baby girl 🥰 #ps: we do not call middle schoolers annoying or stupid on this account or anywhere 🫶 #keiko morita #megamind vs the doom syndicate #megamind rules

Talking about using the term fan- I wonder if Dan has watched Hank Green’s new video on vlogbrothers- it’s an interesting analysis of the creator side of the parasocial relationship

really hope he watched it because it was genuinely so good! i'd love for dnp to have that kind of open discussion about their perception of their community now and how they think of us as a collective/what emotions they feel when thinking about their community

#anon ask #also what hank said about how he has to remember the collective is made up of individuals with a shared interest but who are different #if im being brutally honest im still not convinced dnp fully understand their audience as much as they think #bc they essentially only interact with twitter phandom who's ages skew younger and have different motivators in how they engage in fandom #do they assume the average viewer is still a good 10 years younger than them? are they more aware that a lot of us are their age or older? #do they think we all have the same perspectives because twitter is so vocal about theirs? is in the younow chat all over again? #IM SO INTERESTED DNP CAN WE SIT DOWN IN A ROOM I WANT TO STUDY YOU

!!!! Fandom PSA !!!!

CW: gr//ming, racism, p//dophilia, n//crophilia, proship, n//ncon

I only just found out that this guy has a Tumblr, so I'm making this post now to warn you all to BLOCK & BAN HIM. Don't let him into your circles or servers. Do not interact with him; he feeds off the attention like a leech. This guy is one of the most disgusting people I've had to deal with, and he's been trying to come back ever since TWF4 dropped. He's an awful person with awful beliefs and he doesn't care who he's hurting, whether that be a child or his own partner.

You can find a list of all of his known accounts in the linked drive as well as all of the evidence we have.

The above CW should give you a pretty good idea of everything he's done. Please block & ban him wherever you can; I know he's been interacting with more artists and trying to weasel into more communities. I'd be grateful to anyone willing to spread the drive as well. I don't want to have to add another person's story to this drive.

#mephy speaks #the walten files #twf #walten files #psa #if you can get him banned from servers you yourself dont own too thatd be appreciated #would rather he doesnt ever get the chance to resurface again #and of course he targets younger audiences that are more easily manipulated so watch for that #god i wish all this would just be over already #its been definitely over a year by now and it always loops back around

I watched Lego Batman family matters awhile ago and I really liked it. I also find it funny that they just left Tim out and put in Damian instead

Damian is so weird in the lego universe hes just a normal boy a normal kid a baby innocent but then hes also voiced by the same dude who voice ttgo dick it's kinda jarring

#ask #anon #lego universes are always kinda funny #bc they are definitely made for a younger audience #so jasons not allowed to have died #no he got mad bc bruce didnt let him play his video game and left #and now hes back for vengeance??? #kinda not really #babs as well is just so #girl #shes mad at dick at the start bc he didnt text her in a timely fashion #its amazing

i’m sorry but I can never take the “omg the age difference between Angel & Husk” arguments seriously (either those bringing up how they’re both centinarians in the afterlife OR those who genuinely think the age gap is a dealbreaker) because like, even THE least generous take on this HAS to acknowledge that Angel is in his THIRTIES. LIKE! This is what y’all sound like when we don’t address that first & foremost:

#I know the audience for this show skews younger but like. I promise you that many thirty year olds date old dudes without problems #If you don’t like huskerdust that’s FINE there are other reasons they’d work better as buds or queer mentor/mentee #But it is so funny how people think it’s unethical for a guy in his thirties & a guy in his sixties/seventies to date #Please meet actual queer people irl .I beg you. #Angelhusk #Angel dust #hazbin husk
