whats the deal with the stigma around giving up anyway. yeah this is hard so i do not want to do it anymore. we don’t keep our hand inside a burning flame just to feel like a martyr. i’m off to get a milkshake 

#like? ya its hard. so im quitting. i dont want to experience hard things when baseline life is already full of harsh lessons .

#I like how Marcille is a by-the-books graduate but still tends to be more exasperated and doesn't always plan very far ahead #While Falin is very thoughtful in strategy despite most of her education coming from personal experience by playing hooky #^ I like to think her lessons w/ Laios cite spongebob episodes for reference #dungeon meshi #tumatawart #Audio is from a video titled ''Why Everyone Hates Wizards'' for context

You cannot replicate or recreate Barbenheimer. Barbenheimer was organic, spontaneous because people saw that these two movies--bright, colorful, comedic Barbie and dark, moody Oppenheimer--were being released on the same day and ran with it. Barbenheimer was lightning in a bottle.

Execs will try to replicate it because money. But it won't work. Consumers will see right through the astroturfed marketing, and whatever the execs try will fail. We must let Barbenheimer be a one-and-done for the sake of the movie industry.

#barbie #oppenheimer #barbenheimer #marketing #YES THIS IS A MARKETING LESSON TOO #I don't have a marketing degree but I do have experience #and i know that you can't try to make something like this happen from the top down #it has to come from grassroots

It's no surprise to anyone that Soap can be downright stubborn about any aspect of his life, and one of the things he's most stubborn about is learning. He knows his own methods, and he always believes he's capable of teaching himself anything that's needed of him no matter how inconvenient it might be.

It's part of the reason he has such an ""issue"" with authority. He knows his own capabilities and damn it he doesn't need anyone else to be showing him how to do it. When he was a rookie he'd always find his own methods to learn anything new. Unconventional and inconvenient for others, sure, but it's perfect for Soap.

When he's brought into the 141 this trend remains, only with less pushback from his superiors. Price has seen the things Soap has achieved, and he trusts him when Soap states his methods are needed a certain way for those results.

Now, when Ghost is finally introduced to Soap this causes them to butt heads. Ghost, similarly, knows what works and likes things to stay that way. He sticks to the procedures that he knows work, the results speak for themselves, why ever switch it up? Soap finds issue with this.

Ghost requires Soap to learn how to knife throw after a close call in a mission where it would have likely saved him had Ghost not been there. Ghost, having the most experience with this, takes it upon himself to teach Soap. He learns quickly that Soap is an awful student. At least that's how he sees it at first.

Soap argues against Ghost's explanation of technique, stance, grip, anything under the sun that he explains. Ghost, thoroughly annoyed at that point, tells Soap to "shut it, or teach it to yourself."

He expects Soap to snap back, or to brush him off with a joke like their typical banter. Instead, Soap gives him a shockingly genuine smile and says "So I have permission to teach it to myself then?"

Ghost is stunned for a moment, knowing that it's a difficult thing to master by yourself when there isn't anyone pointing out the adjustments needed to be made when throwing. But he ends up nodding, really just intrigued to see how Soap fares by himself.

Soap nearly masters it in three days.

When he asks Ghost to watch him after those three days, he's shocked to see Soap's accuracy to be almost on par with his own.

Soap turns to him after he's done throwing and fixes him with an expectant expression. Ghost nearly misses his cue to respond. He stumbles out an "Impressive, Johnny" and his Sargent beams.

After hearing about the hours Soap spent holed up teaching himself the proper technique over those 3 days, Ghost never bothers to question Soap's methods again. He still offers occasionally to ""teach"" Soap things, or just accompany Soap while he works on such things, though most of the time Soap declines.

All of this is what causes so much surprise when Ghost witnesses Soap's methods fail him for the first time. (Potential part 2 later :3)

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?

i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.

most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.

Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.

#like. think about the message the game sends if zelda stays a dragon. we are saying that link CAN'T come back from this mistake. #that one single split-second moment in which he made the wrong move because he had no way of knowing what to do #means that the one person who understands and supports him above all else. the one person who shares his experience and his trauma #the woman he LOVES. is gone forever with no hope of return ever and it's 100% his fault. #that's not true to the themes of botw OR totk. these games are about growth and healing and second chances. #this game was link learning that he gets a second chance. that no move he makes is the final be-all-end-all fuckup. #it removes the pressure and that's the POINT. for a character like link whose life has been DEFINED by pressure #who was taught from a horrifically young age that any wrong move on his part would KILL EVERYONE HE KNEW AND LOVED #this is such an important lesson to learn. removing that pressure/showing him that it was never actually real in the first place #is a crucial step towards healing for him. #asks #zelda analysis #totk spoilers #like i like the idea of lasting consequences dont get me wrong. <draconic features zelda enjoyer #but like. making link keep the fucking rauru arm rubs me the wrong way. the whole point is that he caught her with his own hand in the end #ugh. anyway. you get the idea

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where

The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!

I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.

There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.

Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!

Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)

#art faqs #TL;DR: Step 1 is 'Just start drawing'. Step 2 is 'Keep on drawing'. Step 3 is 'Hit a wall and start studying only as much as you want' #Step 4: keep it fun and keep drawing. #I think this is where artists who start young have the advantage over adult learners #because adults try to tackle art at the technical point first! #AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE!! #When I got into piano & string instruments I started by just doodling around. Banging out the tunes and experimenting. #The low pressure made it fun! I started lessons because I wanted to learn more! #I personally own quite a few art textbooks! Some are workbook/prompt-based (to help me get started) #and some are actual textbooks! But I certainly didn't start by reading a textbook. #I *highly* recommend Scott McCloud's 'understanding comics' for anyone trying to get into comics #its also a comic in of itself so its a fun read! It breaks down a lot of the key aspects of what's in a comic. #And tbh you don"t HAVE to trace for the shrimp method to work. Just take the time to do a study of a subject! #Good luck on your art journey! B*)

reminder to master chef twst jp players that:

the 20 minute ingredient gathering is the most efficient one, but find the one that matches your schedule

focus on getting sugar, eggs and fruits because they're pretty popular ingredients

use low/medium ingredients to raise skill level, only use high quality ingredients when the recipe is above 50%

try focusing on one recipe at a time

when you're done with the event, use up the rest of your ingredients for 100%, then do the recipes with the fewest ingredients

when nothing else can be made, just keep making black dishes to earn what medals you can

i hope these tips help!!

#^ tips i learnt from strategy guides and personal experience hehe #i didn't realise 20 mins was the most efficient and i kept doing 360 mins 😯😵‍💫 #also the idea of using up all my ingredients to make black dishes never crossed my mind??? so many ingredients wasted😭😭😭 #anyways lesson learned at least #twisted wonderland #twst master chef #twst jp
