I like it when Jamil and Azul argue. It's like watching what will soon be the memories they tell their potential children. Like Azul will be all "And that's how your dad said I love you first" And Jamil would shout from the kitchen "No, what I said was that I hate you and will never join your dorm" And Azul would just smile that shit eating grin of his and be like "Well look where you are now"
Tangentially related- Their TEACHERS took bets
Okay no but actually that is exactly how it goes. Jamil is talking to his kid like “your father used to beg on his knees for me to switch to his dorm, don’t listen to a word he says.”
Azul doesn’t care in the end, bc he got his man<3

the amount of animation industry people openly shitting on hazbin for things like taking the worst interpretation of tiny cuts of footage, art style, etc while absolutely sobbing crocodile tears over the ghost and molly mcgee-- when i can tell u basically all these industry accounts that werent directly involved in production didnt give a shit about before the cancellation announcement. There are like a dozen-ish genuine tgamm fans and i would never discount them but it really feels like people wanna do this goofus and gallant shit with hazbin and whatever cancelled show of the week that totally deserved to live instead. A lot of blatant sour grapes-ing is all im saying. So many fence sitting progressives who love to swan-dive right back into knee-jerk puritanism yuck responses and entitlement. A lot of animation fans see something that is in fact, not made for them, and instead of having any amount of respect they immediately jump to WHYYYY ARE WE USING RESOURCES ON THIS INSTEAD OF WHAT IIIIIII WANT??? WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THE DEER MAN WHEN I DONT LIKE HIM???
I guess what I'm saying is its sad how many great indie productions we could probably have if humans werent such intolerant shits about it and could be trusted to not literally torture and abuse artists who make things they dont like. shrug shrug

Sorry just saw a post saying you do actually DO get taught media literacy and critical thinking in English classes and I was homeschooled until high school, but Ive also been to three different high schools across two states of america- which isn’t a lot but is more than most people get (assuming that most people go to one high school for four years instead of switching schools every year) and let me tell you. The English teachers almost always had the same problem. And I generally liked them all! English wasn’t a class I super hated!!!
Even my favorite English teachers didn’t really end up fostering a love of reading into the material or actually critically thinking about stuff.
What they all liked to do was talk about and lead you into THEIR interpretation to the point of basically dismissing any other readings. At best you’d get a “that’s a good point too, but I was thinking of something else” and at worst they’d basically just dismiss it with a clear lack of interest. As if you didn’t “get the point” for focusing on something else.
I remember this because there were a lot of times when I was bursting to talk about the parallels id drawn of the assignment to my personal experiences but I was too embarrassed or afraid or annoyed to because the few times i or anyone else tried to speak up the teachers were basically uninterested unless you hit on the specific reading they were obsessed with. At which point they’d talk at length about symbolism and stuff that, while interesting to me, was also hella annoying!!
My English classes made me afraid to get into academia because they all made it seem like there were one or two proper ways to read a story and if you didn’t immediately come to one of those conclusions then you’d be treated like you were stupid or hadn’t actually read the text.
This post also claimed that English classes teach you how to spot misinformation ???? The only thing even close to that would be history classes where we would sometimes discuss propaganda. Most of English class is reading assigned literature and then painfully sitting through the teacher trying to lead us into their interpretation. And sometimes you get to write things.
At MOST you’re gonna get the teacher telling you that something an author says is incorrect or a lie or that they’re biased but you don’t usually practice how to spot misinformation when you’re not prepped to find it.
I gained more critical thinking skills from being annoyed by the teachers readings and tearing them apart in my head than I did from any actual assignments. But that’s because I already cared about stories! So i wouldn’t have even had that if I didn’t already have some kind of interest in the classes subject matter!
Does all this stuff you’re supposedly taught in English class happen before high school?? What schools are you guys going to because from my experienced, American high school English classes (like a lot of classes) don’t really teach you shit unless you’re already interested in the subject.
I also think it’s pretty useless and mean spirited to imply people who didn’t learn that stuff were just idiots who didn’t pay attention. It’d be way more helpful to encourage people to want to learn stuff after school ends!! Not just because learning is fun but also because I feel like a lot of people see learning as something you can only do in schools & such and don’t see all the opportunities for self improvement past that!
Sorry I have no idea why a single one paragraph post bothered me so much, I think it’s cuz it’s past 10 pm 😭😭😭 so slightly annoying things lead to entire damn rants. I don’t even know if they were talking about American education I just was suddenly flooded with a ton of memories and barfed them out here.

It's been a busy couple of months and my brain feels depleted of anything but that unsightly fizzy bubbling you get when you pour vinegar over baking soda.
Pretty sure it's temporary and I can return to obsessing over fandom things shortly once everything has calmed down a little.
If not, I had a good run on this blog.
RIP, Rouka Brain, newly smooth, wrinkle-free and squishy-pink
