portrait practice with SILO characters rahhhh (for each i tried to work from reference as much as i could and then switched to tracing so that they Looked Right.)

#juliette nichols did unthinkable things to my mind and body (reference to bigtop burger: kid)#you know the post about scifi being sweaty women in tank tops covered in dirt. yeah #the silo writers: ok so theres an antagonist who wears all black. and is the only one in universe to do so. and he has big beautiful eyes #they visited the 'My Favorite Character factory' and stole the secret recipe. i feel so catered to #the main character is a grimy autistic engineer with tattoos (for the first 2 episodes. then she gets a new job 😔) and i love her a lot!!!#its a mystery scifi. it's not what i usually watch but the worldbuilding was really good #you could tell the set and costume design had a lot of love put into them #and the plot was intriguing to follow #do i recommend silo?#yes. its a good show :)#these are portrait practices from august. faces are still currently my least favorite thing to draw but they are slightly easier now #silo #silo apple tv #art #my art #silo fanart

On Cringe Culture, Kids' Shows, and Elitism

i'M nOt rEaDiNg aLl tHaT" Ok, scroll down for the TL:DR. (Also on SpaceHey and Blogspot)

The now ex-CEO of Disney, Bob Chapek, has stated the animation is only for children. Never mind that this is the same company that owns The Simpsons, and was founded by a guy who said, and I quote "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

Naturally, this has caused universal backlash within the animation community, with many people defending animation as a medium for everyone, not just kids. However, the animation community was also mocked by outsiders for using kids' shows, such as Gravity Falls, to prove that animation is for everyone. In fact, the animation community (more specifically the western animation community) has always been cruelly harassed by outsiders for watching cartoons, especially ones aimed at children.

There is nothing wrong with watching children's shows AT ALL. Watching kids' shows doesn't make you immature, a pedophile, or whatever bullshit that outsiders want to spew. Remember the Walt Disney quote above; many kids' shows are designed to be appealing to multiple audiences, including adults. Kids' shows with adult appeal (or ones that don't annoy the living daylights out of parents, or are legitimately good for kids) are more likely to be praised and recommended by said parents than, say, Cocomelon.

However, because of the stigma attached to kids' shows, many animation fans feel the need to hate on/ignore slice-of-life or comedy cartoons, while only praising plot-driven or "dark" ones like Gravity Falls, The Owl House, and Avatar, and say that they are "not for kids." Again, there is NOTHING wrong with liking kids' shows (these shows do feel more YA-ish though, but that's another subject for another blog). All three of these shows are very high quality, and you don't need to justify your enjoyment of them to outsiders. The constant prioritization of dramatic cartoons over lighthearted ones in the cartoon fandom creates a sense of snobby elitism, and leads to...

...fans of lighthearted shows like Big City Greens and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic being bullied for liking said shows because they are "childish." Which, in turn, leads to fans of lighthearted kids' shows trying to make their shows seem dark in order to make the elitists like them. Back in the day, many bronies made dark fan works based on MLP such as "Cupcakes," "Smile HD," and "Rainbow Factory" and put them out in public with no age restriction, resulting in a bunch of traumatized children. The bronies also acted like they were the target audience and not children.

Apart from the bronies' fan works, MLP also suffered from exaggerated darkness on TV Tropes subpages. Speaking of TV Tropes, there was a very infamous incident regarding the kids' show "Ready Jet Go!" Aside from the stigma surrounding general kids' programs, you also have the stigma attached to preschool shows that they are dumb and for babies (never mind that babies/infants are too young to watch TV, and if they watch it before they turn 2, it would really hurt their brain. Look up the Baby Einstein controversy for more info), especially with GoAnimate users making it hip to hate on Dora and Barney. Not every preschool/elementary show is the same as Cocomelon. There are many high-quality programs for the little ones such as Arthur, Cyberchase, Sesame Street, Bluey, Mister Rogers, VeggieTales, Oswald, Blue's Clues, LazyTown, Bear in the Big Blue House, and WordGirl. Can you really blame fans for liking them when they’re just so good?

With all this in mind, someone once made a Nightmare Fuel page for Ready Jet Go on TV Tropes in order to make it more popular, because the user felt alone in liking the show and it was a big comfort for them. They also cited the snobbery of the cartoon community as a reason for their making the page on the Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread. The page was eventually deleted because it was mocked cruelly by 4chan. It didn't make the show more popular, it gave it a bad reputation.

The user shouldn't have to had made that stupid page with examples exaggerating the show's supposed scariness. If it weren't for the cartoon community being a bunch of elitists, as well as the kids/preschool show stigma, this wouldn't have happened. The sad part is, even though the page is long gone, the page STILL gets brought up by RJG haters to mock the show, its' fans, and TV Tropes for "pissing their pants over Ready Jet Go" which is beating a dead horse at this point. Seriously, make like Elsa and LET IT GO. Please stop bringing it up, and if you’re reading this blog, please don’t look it up. Please have sympathy for Ready Jet Go fans. We’re actually a very nice fandom.

The 4chan bullying also ties into cringe culture. On sites such as DeviantArt, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and 4chan, many people are considered "cringe" and cyberbullied for "crimes" like making a colorful character or watching cartoons. The cyberbullies in question are just a bunch of pathetic lowlives who bully people for being happy, because they think that bullying happy people will make them feel better about their disgusting selves.

As noted here, cringe culture affects autistic people the most. Autistic people tend to get really passionate about their favorite things, or "special interests," and like to talk about them all the time and make their own characters. But according to some unwritten rule of society, your OCs have to be as deep as Shakespeare, and you're not allowed to like 'childish' things even a little bit. (I think it's worth mentioning that the Nightmare Fuel person was autistic themselves). Many proponents of cringe culture participate in concern trolling, acting like they don't want so-called "cringe" people to be bullied and want them to be good artists/writers. Cringe culture doesn't make people become better creators, it makes them become boring creators and repressing their true passions.

Every autistic person is different, which is why it's called the autism spectrum. However, it is true that a lot of autistic people enjoy children's media, likely because of how calming and simple they tend to be. For example, Thomas the Tank Engine is very popular with autistics because the engines' emotions are easy to tell, and the show has a chill atmosphere (by the way, the Thomas fandom is a frequent victim of cringe culture). Plus, it legitimately has Tolkien-level lore dating back to the 1940s. I'm not even kidding, look up "The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways." It always pisses me off when outsiders act surprised that "tHOmAs tHe tRaIn hAs A fAnDoM?!?1!" It's based on a book series that's existed since 1945, of fucking course it has a fandom, dumbass.

TL;DR - 'Animation is for everyone' and 'it's okay to like kids' cartoons/lighthearted cartoons' are statements that can and should co-exist. Also, autistic people can like whatever they want and those who harass them are the scum of the earth.

AND ANOTHER THING . Y’know how more modern electronics are wayyy easier to break ??

Like . I’m sure there are many benefits to having a more modern screen, but the fact is Vox could’ve easily designed it to be more sturdy .

But he didn’t, probably to keep up with trends . This is also why I headcanon him to be extremely sickly looking (well that and his heart monitor theming) because it’s like !! He absolutely would hurt himself and his body soley to have a more appealing and ‘modern’ form .

Like Vox may act in control and like a massive bitch but at the end of the day he relies on the masses for his power . It’s shown in “Stayed Gone” when Alastor’s eyes turn into clocks . (Yes I know they’re radio dials but they’re clearly MEANT to look like clocks in the shot) The ticking symbolizes something and the fact that it’s used to scare Vox? He’s definitely scared of people moving on . Of course he changes himself to fit in, of course he tries so hard to keep up his reputation, everything he has depends on it .

He may say “he’s the future” but no future lasts forever and no one is more terrified of it than Vox .

Do you think Alastor’s absence terrified him on some level ? That he too would one day disappear and barely any impact would be made ?

Do you think that’s why he sticks with the Vs beyond a need for their power and resources? A bone deep fear of ending up alone ? Of being completely and truly forgotten ?

I don’t know . Maybe it is a little out of character since we mainly see Vox be mean and a bitch but we have seen quite a bit of evidence to suggest he’s a lot more amiable when the cameras are on .

(HAVE SOOOOO MANY THOUGHTS ON WHAG THIS MEANS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND EMOTIKNS TOWARDS ALASTOR ALSO .)

OHHHHH. DEFINITELY . GUY WHO IS. BITING HIM BITING HIM BITING HIM.

#also as I was TRYING to say before my phone had a seizure in the replies to my own post #A lot of vox's persona us being independent and standing out and being A LOT. you know??? TV bright colours and sounds and #Short attention span engineered content of Get It All Now #But he's. Not that. He's whoever he's surrounded by. He's whoever he feels like he should be to Win #Something something TV is dictated by what's playing on it and the type of device is often an afterthought.#Guy who is a vessel for so much stuff that he's barely a guy. Guy who is nothing and everything and so focused on being everything that #That he can only be nothing underneath all of it.#yeah. I think he's pretty silly.

Max, respectfully, don't you fucking dare complain about the race being red flagged right after a driver's crashed

#going to be salty for a minute but GOD he's such a whiny brat #it's not hard to wait until you're back in the pits to get all the information from your engineers about why it's red flagged ffs #anti Verstappen #(not tagging this bc I fear discourse but I had to get it off my chest without cursing at my TV)

My grandpa used to think there were little people in the tv and I do happen to also believe that when it comes to Columbo.

#He's the little crumpled detective who lives in my tv #every time he comes onscreen in an episode I go COLUMBO!!!#also my grandfather was an engineer for general electric so I kind of doubt he believed that but you never know

“Die Taigatrommel”

One of the many nicknames this class of Sowjetmade Diesel-Electric locomotives has gotten over the years. In Poland they are called Gagarin. This particular one was exported to the GDR (East Germany). The second engine I photographed at Chemnitz. I own two of that class in model from through my father. Not sure which ones tho. (Will update when I checked).

For a bit more information see the link below:
