i had a dream that my middle school turned into a roguelike (descend to a lower, randomly-generated floor each class period and find each fucking classroom on your own). on some of the floors there were a few arcade machines that led to convenience stores. these stores also had something called "gamble on a rock" behind the counter where you could bet money on identifying a rock/mineral correctly. this is what middle school should be.

#no clue why i dreamt back that far but i think the middle school/roguelike comparison works. thanks brain in sleep state #and yes the whole thing was in a dungeon-like enivronment. if u care.

How to drive culture amid hybrid

Driving culture amid a hybrid work environment can be challenging, as it requires a different approach than traditional in-person work environments. Here are a few strategies that organizations can use to drive culture amid a hybrid work environment:

Communicate effectively: Clear and consistent communication is crucial in a hybrid work environment. It is important to establish regular communication channels and ensure that all employees are aware of them.

Foster virtual connections: Encourage virtual team-building activities and socialization opportunities to build relationships among employees who may not be able to interact in person.

Prioritize inclusivity: It is important to consider the needs of all employees, including those who may have different work arrangements or face unique challenges.

Lead by example: Managers and leaders should model the behaviors and values that the organization wants to promote.

Embrace technology: Leverage technology to facilitate communication, collaboration, and productivity.

Keep values and mission at the center: Keep company values and mission at the center of all decision making and communication, to ensure that employees are aligned and committed to the organization's goals.

Regular check-ins: Regularly check-in with employees, either through surveys or one-on-one meetings, to understand their needs and concerns, and adapt the company culture accordingly.

Maintaining organizational culture in a hybrid environment can be difficult, but it's important to remember that it's worth the effort. Creating an inclusive, positive and productive work culture is essential to achieving the organization's goals.

SONIC ALTER

Sonic Alter: The Animated Fan Project is looking for a bigger crew of Sonic artists in the coming year to help bring the project to life!

To elaborate further: We're a fan series of many different inspirations, some of which I'm sure you all are familiar with. If you're a Sonic fan with a love of telling stories through art then this project is for YOU!

Storyboards, much like the screenplay are the ESSENTIAL backbone of a sequence!! We need storyboarders that can NOT ONLY nail down the fun and expressiveness of character dynamics but can also provide the punch that any scene would need as well as dynamic action set pieces!

Enivronments: Sonic's world is unique in nature and very abstract! We'll be exploring expanding upon these certain aesthetics and what not in this show, the only limit for how creative we can make Sonic's world look is the sky!!!

Character Designs: The characters are vast and varied, from Mobians to Stylized Humans, and even Badniks! We'll need to design them all if we hop to populate our word in a meaningful manner!

Illustrators: we're looking for 2D artists who have dynamic styles, a strong anime influence, and/or can draw some aesthetically pleasing Backgrounds!

We understand how much of an incredibly tall order this is and especially for an Unpaid Passion Project such as this one but we genuinely hope you'll join us on our journey to see this project through!!

If you are interested, please DM us here on tumblr or on twitter @sonicalter

Having a High Intensity Autism and Anxiety day and 99% of my shows are too anxiety inducing so I am watching Selling Sunset. It is highly probable that I will spam Selling Sunset takes months after the last season was put on Netflix.

My two main opinions:

So far I support the queer one (Chrishelle), rip to her spouse for being misgendered by the cishet ones.

These shows would be infinitely more entertaining if there was one (1) autistic person. Because so much of the drama is conversations that are on the surface very nice but apparently have Hidden Meanings that leave everybody angry. So like if (random names) Susan and Bettie hate each other and then have a very superficially nice talk at like a birthday party, the post-event confessionals would be Susan being like "it's a shame Bettie couldn't get over it I fear we might never be friends again" and Bettie being like "same old Susan always playing the victim, I hate her" and then the hypothetical autistic one being like "I think this party was a great step in the right direction, everyone was kind, and I look forward to a drama-free work enivronment."

[rwbyazre]

in azre how would your rank salem's council members from your least favorite to your favorite?

Tyrian

I explained in a previous ask but I love Tyrian simply because they are a fun character to write and think of in various situations. They're not the insane trope or really flat like in canon, I wanted Tyrian to keep their obssession, their deadliness, and their odd behaviour, but connect it in a unique way different to other members of the council or really Remnant as a whole.

Because so many of the villains in AZRE are written as foils to what the heroes very well could've become. Adam could've been like Kaanchana, Weiss could've ended like Cinder or Watts, Yang could've been a Gretchen or a Raven or a Mercury, but Tyrian was born in unique enivronment that is one of the few places directly connected to Salem rather than Remnant.

Plus I just think they're neat.

Spectre

Speaking of villains that could've easily been foils to our heroes, Spectre is a close second for my list because I think he's cool and interesting with Atlas in combination with Watts.

A Faunus born and raised in the propaganda of Atlas, molded into a weapon to oppress others like him, and was casted out when he fought against the system for the betterment of his own people? Giang's interesting because he isn't wrong. The only reason he's even with Salem is because Ironwood and Atlas has made it so he has nowhere else to go.

He doesn't believe in Salem's power hungry motives for godhood or even likes the idea of Remnant being destroyed, because he loves Remnant He loves his home, he loves his people, he loves his family.

But there's nothing left for him to do. Either Giang sides with Salem with some desperate hope to make a change, or he falls into obscurity. And if he goes with the latter, he might as well have died that day he left Atlas.

Watts

Similar to what I like in canon, I just like Watts' personality and snarky remarks. He's funny in his own way and it's interesting writing someone who, in a group of highly trained fighters, he gets by just as well using his smarts and inginuity so that they can't replace him.

I also like the relationship he has with the Schnee family as a whole, but in particular with Willow, Jacques, and especially Winter. Watts' emotions are conflicted with the two adults of the family in different ways, but his relationship with Winter is even more based on just how similar they are as people.

Both have a very driven and dry sense when talking to people, devolving into biting remarks when towards people they don't like, and are primarily driven down their paths because of a love they held that was broken; their love in Willow. But they are both so similar and so different at the same time that there's a tragedy.

Maybe if Watts learned to let go, if he could've found happiness in being the best he could be, his life wouldn't be so low as it is.

Cinder

Now I don't hate AZRE!Cinder even though she's near the bottom of the list, just that I like the others more especially since canon portrayals haven't soured them for me.

But Cinder in AZRE is pretty much a mixture of how she is in Poser and Maya. She has the cool mysterious and powerful vibe, but the pettiness and anger that is shown far more often in the later volumes, just without her constantly losing. Cinder is a conflicting character for me because a lot of the stuff I like about her, other characters just do it better for me.

That being said, I do enjoy just changing her backstory and seeing how her wealth and downfall has fed into her superiority and inferiority complexes, because Cinder definitely has both.

Gretchen

Now I like Gretchen, I do, and I like that she's just a normal character amongst all these geniuses, cult members and rights revolutionists. She's just a woman wanting justice for the abuse of power that led to her brother's murder.

That being said, she's just kinda there for me. Going through and thinking of her different potential story arcs is interesting, but not as much as say, Watts' or even Raven. Still, maybe when I get to actually writing her and really framing her story, my thoughts on her will change.

I'm creating a magical detective office with a friend and as I - in my dislike for enivronment design - got stuck on really not wanting to move on with working on walls, I decided to work on the front facade instead. It lacks some good signage, tba I guess

THE GREAT OUTDOORS!

Part 1 ~ The Ricardos & Mertzes Commune with Nature

“I Love Lucy” generally took place indoors - at their East 68th Street apartment or Ricky’s nightclub. As residents of New York City, they had little opportunity to commune with nature - but there were exceptions. In nearly all cases, these outdoorsy moments were staged indoors - in a Hollywood studio.  

“The Marriage License” (1952) ~ To correct an error on their original marriage license, Lucy and Ricky travel to Greenwhich, Connecticut to renew their vows. While there, Lucy makes Ricky renact his proposal at the tree bench where it first happened.  

LUCY: “Gee. I don’t remember this seat being so small, do you? I guess the tree grew in a little from each side.”  RICKY: “Let’s face it, we’ve grown out a little from each side!” 

This brush with nature came during the 26th episode filmed and is the very first time Lucy and Ricky have been seen outdoors.  The Desilu set designers finally had a chance to use foliage! 

“Lucy’s Last Birthday” (1953) ~ Depressed that no one has remembered her birthday, Lucy wanders the city at night, eventually arriving at Central Park - Manhattan’s equivalent of The Great Outdoors. 

While sitting alone, the Friends of the Friendless come marching through the trees, stopping to console her. Not used to negotiating the outdoors, FOF extra Barbara Pepper (the only Friendless female) loses her hat on a low-hanging branch! 

“The Camping Trip” (1953) ~ Lucy wants to do everything Ricky does - including going on a camping trip to go fishing and duck hunting. 

This is by far the most exensive use of greenery in the series. Assessing Lucy’s camping attire, Ethel is typically blunt.

LUCY: “Well, do I look like I stepped out of ‘Field & Stream’?” ETHEL: “You look more like you fell in.”

Although the campsite is located in the woods near a stream, the exact location is never stated. It is must be within driving distance, so likely upstate New York.  

“The Fox Hunt” (1956) ~  At an English country manor Lucy goes on a fox hunt, despite never having ridden a horse.

Lucy really gets back to nature by becoming ensared in a bush. Unbeknownst to her, the fox does too! 

“Lucy in the Swiss Alps” (1956) ~  After a mistake in booking during their trek through Europe, the Ricardos and Mertzes go mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps. 

This establishing shot tells the audience the enivronment that the gang will be dealing with: snow-capped mountains. 

The “I Love Lucy” set designers were charged with creating a realistic mountain top, then making it snow!  

The Great Outdoors weren’t always green!  This sequence was later integrated into the promotion of Paramount+ streaming service, showing various CBS / Paramount characters scaling ‘Mount Paramount’. 

“Lucy’s Bicycle Trip” (1956) ~ When leaving Italy for France, Lucy has her heart set on biking along the coast and across the border - until she can’t find her passport!

In the middle of nowhere, she tries everything she can think of to get past the border officials. Before the border, the gang gets in touch with nature by sleeping in a barn!  

“Off to Florida” (1956) ~ When Lucy misplaces their train tickets to Miami Beach, she and Ethel must share a car ride to Florida with Edna Grundy (Elsa Lanchester), a woman they suspect might be a hatchet murderess.

Mrs. Grundy insists on driving the backroads from New York City to Florida. Instead of stopping at a roadside cafe, Mrs. Grundy has packed watercress sandwiches, which Lucy calls ‘buttered grass’.  

Instead of stopping at a hotel, they simply pull off the road and try to sleep in the car. The ominpresent chirp of crickets keeps them awake. 

LUCY: “Who can sleep with all that noise? Sounds like feeding time in a pet shop.” 

“Deep Sea Fishing” & “Desert Island” (1956) ~ While visiting Miami Beach, Lucy and Ethel make a bet with Ricky and Fred that they can catch the bigger fish. Not all nature is green or white - sometimes it is blue, too!  The scenes on the ocean were filmed in a water tank in Hollywood, while actor doubles were also filmed off the coast of Miami. The two films were then edited together.

When their boat runs out of gas, the gang is stranded on a lush (what they believe to be) deserted island. The island seen in the second unit footage (above) is not nearly as large or verdant as the one built in the studio. 

RICKY: “Hey!  They have caca-nuts here!” LUCY: “Caca-nuts? (she looks around) Oh, yeah. A lot of caca-nuts.”

Palm trees and whie sands are usually an idyllic way to commune with nature - except when a giant native (Claude Akins) shows up!  

“Lucy Raises Tulips” (1957) ~ In Connecticut, Lucy turns gardener. When she takes charge of the rider mower, the landscape changes for the worse -  including the garden! For city folks, nothing says Back to Nature more than gardening. 

“Lucy Hunts Uranium” (1958) ~ The third of the hour-long episodes later called “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” takes the gang to Las Vegas, where they hunt for uranium with Fred MacMurray. As with previous episodes, this was a combination of studio shooting and second unit location footage.

Location filming took place in California’s Mojave Desert. This is the first time Lucy and Desi have gone on location as the Ricardos.

During the exterior prospecting scene, the actors actually ‘fall asleep’ on a Hollywood sound stage and ‘wake up’ on location in the desert!  Movie magic!

Although the actors went on location, the car chase sequences were filmed using stunt doubles intercut with studio-filmed process shots. 

“Lucy Goes To Sun Valley” (1958) ~ The gang travels to Sun Valley, Idaho, where they meet Fernando Lamas. 

Sun Valley is a resort city where tourists can enjoy ice skating, golfing, hiking, trail riding, cycling, tennis and (of course) skiing on Bald (“Mount Baldy”) Mountain and Dollar Mountain. It was a favorite vacation spot for the Arnaz family. They spent part of their 1952 summer hiatus from “I Love Lucy” at the resort and later returned in 1959, after Lucy and Desi had separated, staying at Ann Sothern’s home.

As usual, the episode was a combination of studio shooting and location footage of the actors at the resort. This episode, however, featured far more location footage than any previous episode. 

Lucille Ball was called upon to really get back to nature by skiing, skating, and even frolicking in the snow with animals!  

“Lucy Makes Room for Danny” (1958) ~ Danny Williams (Danny Thomas) and his family sublet the Ricardo home during the winter.  Building snowmen and throwing snoballs were part of the show’s plot. Unlike their visit to Sun Valley, this snow was a studio creation. The episode was a clever way to tell viewers that “Make Room for Daddy” (aka “The Danny Thomas Show”) would be taking over “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” time slot!  

“Lucy Goes To Alaska” (1959) ~ The gang travel to the nation’s newest state to buy some discount land - but end up out in the cold - literally!  Red Skelton guest stars. 

Although the action is set in and around Nome, the second unit footage was filmed in Lake Arrowhead, California, about 100 miles from Hollywood. 

The exteriors were done with doubles and none of the regular cast left the newly-purchased Desilu (formerly RKO) Studios.

“Lucy’s Summer Vacation” (1959) ~ Lucy and Ricky go on vacation to Vermont and end up sharing their cabin with Howard Duff and Ida Lupino.

In the story, Lucy and Ricky have been invited to spend a week at a cabin on (fictional) Lake Wotchasokapoo, Vermont. 

The show took the Ricardos out of their Connecticut home, but the scenes were not filmed on location in Vermont, but inside Desilu Studios. There is one brief establishing shot of a lake.

Research: themes of corruption in media

Going further off of the theme of fake, I decided to look at corruption as the idea of fake normalcy or the true image behind a fake mask. I looked at this idea specifically because I think the different ways of expressing corruption can create cool aetshetics.

Terraria

Terraria has a biome literally called the Corruption, so this was something I decided to look at.

The biome itself is similar to a normal forest, but the enivronment has been taken over by a sickening purple. This portrays corruption as a "taking over" of something, and a loss of one's original self.

File corruption

This refers to the aethetic of something digital being corrupt:

These images/videos show the kind of thing I'm refering to: where the game/image loses data and replaces it with, essetnially, garbage. This is a really cool aesthetic and I could totally see myself styling a game around this look.

While making this I was reminded of the cancelled Adult Swim show, Pibby:

This takes the theme of corruption down a much darker path, treating it like a virus that creates zombies. Personally, I don't really like this idea becuase of how gory it is and this isn't how I would make corruption work in my game.
