arc-v's cast is so fucking funny. it's absolutely the character bloat problem Of All Time, leaps and bounds worse than gx ever had it, but i can't even be mad. every character who waltzes on screen is somehow the funniest motherfucker ive ever seen in my life. guys will just show up for two episodes and have an insane character design and do the most bonkers maneuvers ever done in yugioh and then they disappear forever and this happens with like 35 different characters. you could play a full game of Guess Who with arc-v bit characters. it's like an advent calendar. it's like a theater kid fighting game roster. and then on top of everything else, guys from completely different series start rolling up and we just have to deal with it. ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny ass show. it's GREAT.

kinda frustrating how we've spent the last few months acknowledging how a lot of well intentioned but guilt trippy social justice posts are like specifically designed to worm into ocd ppls brains and then now every single post abt palestine is "i dont care how bad your mental health is, i dont care how bad looking at all this makes you feel, if you don't read every single post you see on this topic in full you are a horrible person and directly contributing to their deaths. 'waaaah my mental health' well at least youre not being bombed, did you think about that??" and its like. i absolutely get where youre coming from but you dont get to complain that guilt tripping is bad then turn around and use it anyways because you think the cause youre using it for is worthwhile. like. everyone thinks the cause theyre using it for is worthwhile, thats why theyre using it. but its still a shit way to do it

Danny Motta started watching Link Click and the name sounded familiar and it looked super interesting in his reaction vid, so now I've started watching Link Click. Just finished episode 5, actually cried, it's going great so far lmao

Sometimes you just have to go back to your roots and, in my case, that's coloured pencils. I've been so focused on my digital art lately that I honestly forget that I can do pretty amazing stuff in traditional media as well. So this was a nice change of pace.
Also, this sketch is literally 13 years old. It lay forgotten for the majority of those years but then I found it again and decided to keep working on it. So let it never be said that I don't finish what I start xD

I know the actress for Woo Young Woo isn't autistic but she performs a lot of the mannerisms very similarly to how I do when I'm not masking and it's really nice to see. Like seeing a character on screen unapologetically moving in the way that feels the most comfortable to her makes me less anxious about moving in similar ways
Not once did I feel like Young Woo was a caricature of an autistic person. (Outside of the part on Jeju Island where she 'zoomed in' to her memory of the mail pile to get an address, but I think that was more of a joke than *really* relying on photographic memory) Kudos to the writers and the actress behind her. I was watching it dubbed, but the English VA got the pacing perfect too on a lot of the lines!
While I'm normally not a fan of the "savant syndrome autistic" trope, I feel like it was handled well here. She faced realistic pushback as an autistic woman in her field (and didn't always come out on top, in spite of being right), she has a healthy relationship (regular TV drama aside), and she's shown to still have agency while of maintaining a strong support system.
Part of me is worried we'll go into more problematic territory in favor of a dramatic storyline in season 2, but a bigger part of me is holding out hope for more great characters

thinking about how to older killjoys their killjoy names are really just code names and if you strip away the facade there's an entirely different person behind it, but to younger killjoys their killjoys names are who they actually are and there's no separating the odd name and the color and everything that makes a killjoy a killjoy from the person embodying it

finished season 2 of miraculous ladybug!
I dont mean to sound nitpicky about a children's show meant for children. Buuut it feels a little weird to me that the neglect/abuse Adrien experiences from his father is never played for laughs, but Chloes extremely horrible mom being awful to her is literally the whole punchline of their relationship?
Like I realize part of it is "Well Chloe is mean too, so they can bond over how awful they are Together", but that just makes me feel kinda icky because it means Chloe can never improve as a person UNLESS she's fine with her mother not loving her lol

Wow, the way this made me have Thoughts about Television and Me. I’ll save you (most of) the essay, but I guess I don’t really watch television? Which is weird because I’m only here because of a television show.
I had to think very hard to come up with shows I actually watched (didn’t just quilt/cut coupons/grade homework/update spreadsheets through), watched all of, and enjoyed.
Schitt's Creek
[space to reflect upon and honor the its-own-category-ness of SC]
Friends
The West Wing
Six Feet Under
Mad Men
Fleabag
30 Rock, maybe?
Bad Sisters? (will it stick longterm?)
and a shoutout to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for raising my child and making me rethink my skepticism towards cartoons (and ponies, friendship, and magic).
Tagging @apothecarose @jamilas-pen @tyfinn @mammameesh @jesuisici33 and @trickiwooao3
