#it’s fundamentally bad written

[high-guardian-herbs]

So sometimes when I don’t feel like drawing an actual drawing, or feel art blocked, I usually make a doodle/sketch page, where I draw whatever that comes to hand with a blank mind, or just try different coloring techniques and styles

Anyway this page that’s I’ve made for HGS have been filled, and it was fun drawing in it and coloring these characters, usually my doodle pages are more doodle like, but I felt like I should post something so here to go

All of these are characters in the show with slight differences in design and some headcanons of mine sprinkled in and I think I did nice on some of these doodle

#especially with the pose for Sage #and the colors for thyme #and the effect for the third mystery guy #and yes this guy exis t it’s just my head canon for him #too long to explain #plus spoilers #anyway sorry for the hiatus #and sorry for the fact that it will continue #also pray for my grades guys #for exams are near #high guardian herbs #high guardian spice #high guardian spice reboot #fanart #high guardian spice redesign #I think this show is too hated #like #it’s fundamentally bad written #but like #it still has nice moments #and the overall vibe is something really warm #I could only hope to be able to recreate such a vibe #anyway by for later

i think the most tragic thing in the byler fandom is that I have not seen any celebrity secret relationship aus 😔

#this is another “why don't you people like aus” post I guess lmao #“why is st*ddie so popular?” well you see those people write about a Variety Of Things. we have. fantasy. and spiderman #ok no I'm joking I know there's people writing a lot of aus I know this because they're sitting in my marked for later haunting me #(very sorry to the tumblr user writing the 1930s au and the other one writing the dirty dancing au I'm especially haunted by those 2) #I just have not felt as passionate about byler. in months. and am not reading my marked for later #so anyway I know there's aus. it does feel like we're still lacking some fundamental ones though. LIKE A GODDAMN CELEBRITY AU #do you know how bad I'm craving a good celebrity au rn #someone's probably written one I could probably go find one I just don't know what sort of tags to try #bc it could be like. band au! or actor au! or celebrity au! or twitch streamer au! like idk how someone would tag it #especially since I'm open to a variety of Known By The Public aus #I literally just need an au where they're famous sorry #stranger things #byler

saw a fascinating post about fire emblem genealogy of the holy war today. shall spare you the details but it involved the words "gritty game-of-thrones-esque realism". dire state this fandom is in. my iliad reading classes convene at 2:00 EST on sundays. they might help. optional after-class reading involves legend of the galactic heroes and a great deal of tomino

#fe4 #not to pour gasoline on the fire but if you think fe4 is gritty tragedy you might be missing the point of fe4 #jugdral and kagafe as a whole is mythical tragedy through the lens of potential hope #sourced from one guy enthusiastically watching a few too many space operas #fundamentally it is a space opera with dragons involved not dark and edgy medievalism #written by a guy who goes “war is bad! but it's REALLY COOL”

Tumblr! Let me edit my own fucking reblog! I need to add more tags on that post!!!

#if youre wondering i hate slow burn with miscommunication most #wtf is hanahaki??? #also why can i freely edit every post but that one #slow burn is... fine? i dont care for any ships that employ slow burn apart from bubbline and id NEVER read bubbline fic #miscommunication is never ever written well in fanfic #'but my story--' no fuck you your miscommunication plot is bad #it works well in stories where there are fundamental incompatibilities with what characters NEED #it works well in shera proper because catra needs the exact opposite of what adora needs #catra wants devotion but also agency and adora cannot be devoted because she has to protect EVERYONE #and that means stripping catra of her agency too #and catra sees that as adora thinking shes bettervthan her #it doesnt matter how much they talk about it - their core feelings about the world and lack of psychological skills further push the clash #same for glimmer who wants agency and friendship when adora and bow are pushing her in a protective little shell #she sees it as being stripped of her agency!!! #she sees it as proof people think shes useless... her greatest fear #but adora sees it as protecting her #and the more glimmer lashes out the more adora just becomes Shera because adorq herself feels no use to anyone

this may be something i might change my mind about later, but i don't actually Hate artificially generated aesthetic pictures that are like "fungus themed couch" "art noveau inspired camera" "stained glass bathtub" "gothic style platic chairs" or "really fancy sky" tbh. like i think there's lots of room for playing around with ideas and concepts using - applying some good faith here - public domain source photos or otherwise ethically/consensually acquired images. what DOES drive me up the wall is that every time i come across a set of pictures like that there's NO mention that it's artificially created. sometimes there's no source listed at all, which is really common for ~*Aesthetic Pictures*~ anyway. what's worse is when it's like, [Name Of Creator, Name of Collection, 2023] as if it's a legitimate art exhibit, with no mention of the program used to create the pics. that's actually pretty upsetting - the underhandedness of it all. ugh.

#my general current opinion is that i have nothing against ai as tools in and of itself #my big problem is that we live in a capitalist hellscape where the powers that be and the general population has no respect for craftmanshi #and all the problems artists already experience are exuberated by AI and how it's being used so far #you can't??? replace artists with AI?????? that is fundamentally misunderstanding what an artist does #it's not to Create Something Pretty it's to Create Something With Intention #'once AI can generate a movie it's over' an AI could only create an extremely bland and formulaic movie #like a marvel superhero movie or a disney live action remake. which are created by exploiting CGI labour and pumping out content constantly #an algorithm could never create everything everywhere all at once or undertale or something that has anything to say #(fun fact there's a recent scandal in norwegian schools where they made fake poems by a fake poet for english exams for students to analyse #and the poems are SO BAD the english teachers thought they were created by AI. they are ALLEGEDLY written by a real person but the problem #is the Exact Same as if it had been artificially created. it's a fucking venn diagram. it's a lack of respect for craft #and lacking workers rights.) #sorry about this the discourse is exhausting and i try to avoid it #people kept sending me the fungi couch :( i really like the fungi couch :(

"Prince of Egypt" is one of those movies the internet has decided that you're not allowed to hate.

Too bad I do!

#i gave this movie so many chances #and every time around the 10th plague I throw my popcorn at the screen and give up #Act 1 makes a big hairy deal about how awful the murder of children was #then our “good guys” do the same thing in Act 3 and nobody says jack or shit #we just breeze on past it #just one scene where Moses was like “WTF GOD?! This wasn't part of the deal!” would have saved it but they didn't do that #don't give me that “they wanted to be respectful to the source material” crap #A. If you were raised nonreligious like I was you would agree that Exodus us just a badly written story (with no historical basis btw) #and B. I'm pretty sure in the source material RAMSES DROWNED! #Why would you change that??? #I like Stephen Schwartz but the music in this is just a snore too #the animation is beautiful but the tone is all over the place and the jokes are cringe #i just don't fucking like this movie #I just really don't fucking like this movie #if there ever was a “so good it's bad” movie this would be my pic #in that the quality of the animation distracts people from how fundamentally broken the plot and morality is #no really name one other movie where the hero does the same evil thing he denounced the villain for doing #and the movie doesn't even take a breather to point out the hero's hypocrisy #also I don't know I just don't think “god will kill you for what your parents did” is a good thing to put in a movie FOR CHILDREN #your religion has melted your brains and this movie sucks

UR SO RIGHT ABT ARES HAVING A WEAK STORY BUT GOOD CHARACTERS THO… literally the only thing that kept me watching cuz ares sucked but i was literally there for haizaki and nosaka and that’s IT. like i just thought those 2 characters alone and how they interacted w the rest of the cast made the whole thing worthwhile, just viewing both of them under a microscope (separately)

RIGHT RIGHT i think aress biggest strength was its characters and their interactions w everyone else and its such a shame that it was held back so much by its bad story.... i also only watched it for haizaki back when it was airing LOL

now i can better appreciate its potential and all its good ideas that sadly had an abysmal execution but that just makes it more frustrating.... if they had cared a little more i genuinely believe this new generation of inazuma eleven could have been so good. they had such a great cast of new charas w interesting conflict and motivations😭 but that can only get u so far. we ended up w a naruto shippuden situation (shit story but every single character is so interesting conceptually)

#other than haizaki and nosaka i think once u get past eisei being so fundamentally different than og since no aliea #hiroto was so so sooo awesome though i think they should have taken it just a little further #and kept the tatsuya looking like kiras dead first son thing. for added tension between the two #and also bc its so central to tatsuyas character #but also nae was great if sadly underused and shimerigawa could have been so much more #kozoumaru so awesome too. if we ignore what they did to him in orion #i feel kind of bad comparing ares to naruto. at least shippuden somewhat holds up but ares is so shittily written #in almost every way......... laughable

Do I go to my bullshit 'disciplinary hearing' stoned as shit

#.txt #i think it would be funny #its like. idk what are they gonna say in there #'hmmm are you gonna do it again? do you feel REALLY bad about it? do you feel terrible and like shit and will never do it again?' #like what are we even doing here #youre gonna guilt me into not smoking weed? youre gonna talk it out with me??? #the fundamental issue is that again. its not about the rules its not about the laws its not about right or wrong #its about the fact that theres a moral premium placed on sobriety ESP as it relates to weed #its just inherently wrong to smoke weed bcs its not abt law its abt order and power #the point is that the system doesnt criminalize weed through laws that say weed is illegal #it criminalizes weed by doing THIS #by giving the power to specific people to carry out 'justice' it now means that justice isn't written down it's interpreted by cops #and because cops are just protectors of the status quo and private property that means the interests of the status quo and private property #are really what governs the land #not whats just or moral or correct or wrong its abt what the cop is feeeling like at the moment #catch a cop on a bad day and theyll write a ticket they wouldnt have written on a good day #catch a cop who just happens to be one of these 'individual racists' and theyre enforcing laws other cops wont #the system is so busted and corrupt and unmonitored #all justice in america is unequal justice

can we all think for a second before using "he can take 20 to the 4th power in his head" as an example of Genius Level Intelligence. can we maybe think for a second about the digits that make up the number 20, which numbers those digits represent, and the amount of effort that goes into multiplying each of those numbers by themselves

#op #perhaps the lamest and stupidest post i have ever written on this blog but sorry that is annoying the fuck out of me #when there is literally a system of notation based around how familiar and fundamental one of those numbers is... like man ok #post about a post about marco animorphs who i love dearly and who is in fact 'smart' i just think this is a dumb & bad example. Sorry

just finished breaking bad

#spoilers ahead so! tread lightly #breaking bad #bc i binged a lot of this show some episodes do not stick out to me like i cant tell u what happened on which episode or even which season #the naz!s were so left field like i think the story would still be the same without the hooked cross tattoos #it was surprising how the drug cartel or whatever didnt have much involvement in s5. like why did i think for sure theyd relocate to mexico #a follow up wouldve been nice is all im saying #OK. characters! my fav were mike jesse gus skyler and saul. hated walt literally since day 1. didnt change much up until the end #listen i can understand the concept of characters being morally bankrupt egotistical narcissistic abusive and manipulative #but walt was just . not charming enough a character to do it sorry he is what he is. sorry to him but i cannot stand him #i can appreciate some of his monologues though! fly (episode) was great for that the show needed it at least in my opinion #i like that all the characters are fundamentally flawed ! walt is at his core insufferable but he makes a good tragic story👍🏼 #hank was so stupid like? 😭 when lab equipment from walt's school were stolen i thought that'd be it lollll #it was well written for the most part i think!!!!! some parts needed suspension of disbelief but whatever yk #what matters to me the most is whether i cried or not and yeah. yeah i did cry!!!!!! so what!!!!!!!!! #THEMES. obv theres change/corruption... power and abuse of power. toxic masculinity? and family. living life to the fullest if ur insane #also!!! just finished el camino and i liked it! simple story but i like the themes in it. this man's been through so much #jesse was point blank a victim of abuse and im glad he gets to leave the past behind and move forward with his life #owned up to the choices that gotten him up to this point. had control over his life again and building a new future for himself #very cool. also the ending of brba? i think it's good enough i mean i cant think of anything more fitting #but man did he do some incredible... maybe irreparable damage to his family huh. midlife crisis things <3 #i hope they heal <3 somehow <3 #wait about the themes too in brba!! one is reaching ur full potential... again if ur insane #idk maybe sometimes it's ok to flop. just as long as ur enjoying ur life and ur happy... i think that's fine! walt u and i will never agree #izza💭

ARRRRGHHHH #even though ive been kinda breezin through the first few acts of my reread without the same enthusiasm as when i read it as a kid #some parts are just. so good. grrrgghhhh i get goosebumps just thinking about them #AUGH!!!!!!!! despite everything homestuck is still good #tired of doing that 'its good but like its bad but like i like it but i hate it too but like its well written but also badly written' bs #like. everyone knows that by now fuck it fuck it fuck it everyone knows homestuck sucks and is shit but is also fundamentally good #cant be bothered to acknowledge it every time i talk about it -_- #so from now on ill just fuckin. do like they did during the undertale 6th anniversary livestream #where they just went 'homestuck is a good comic' and everyone followed with 'yeah its really good!' and left it at that #anyway. toby fox so important 2 me can u imagine homestuck without his music. itd be so sad #and black is REALLY GOOD

[timehascomeagain]

My back hurts and i still dont have my historical interpretations. I want to go to bed and just skip out on history this week so bad but i literally caurnt. But i also just cant be fucking ARSED atp like if i dont get this shit done tonight im just going to get more and more fucked and idk what to do. I would literally just come clean to my history teacher and let her know but i just know shes not going to care at all she's going to pull me aside for a chat and say the exact same bs about meeting deadlines and it'll get us nowhere at all and i cant DO IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!! Cries

#im in such a bad mood i cant believe i let it get to this point. but it's just so annoying that i cant even talk to her #like yes it is like 80% my fault bc i did in fact lie to her abt having it written and being on top of it BUTTTT my point still stands. yk #i just feel trapped. i wouldnt feel this way if i just knew i could go to her and be like Haiiiiii This makes me want to Die please help #but i literally caurnt bc she will not listen fundamentally #and i dont want her to predict me a D or whatever. ugh im going 2 die this is horrible

Staring proud at the 10 final versions of Astrom Club instrumentals that I’ve QAed and approved:

:D

The ones I left for last bc they’re gonna need Attention (and are the reason I keep delaying the album):

>:(

#EVEN FUCKING RALLY IS DONE. I REFUSE TO KEEP TOUCHING IT OR ILL NEVER LET IT GO. ITLL ALWAYS BE MISSING SOMETHING BUT I GOTTA STOP #It’s just grumblegrumblegrumble Ik for a fact Langley family tree isn’t where I want it to be #and I think there was a fundamental problem last time I checked Feed From The Biting Hand but maybe I was in a bad mood that day #then I gotta just quick check neon lights reprise; make some noise Astrom Club!; andddd OH #Might fully rework More of Me to Give with some updated instruments cause I haven’t touched it since I was still in musescore/GarageBand era #but weirdly Welcome To Maple Ridge still holds up and it was the og. Musescore instruments and all. #big banger theory has held out too. although I started feeling iffy about the beginning. but instrumentals gotta instrumental ig #really proud of how Let it Burn held up. made some updates that really rounded it out #drive is and always has been 👌👌👌👌 #OOOOO QUEEN OF HEARTS KICKS ASS IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE #Total departure from the rest of the album and it OWNS IT #Neon lights is still catchy #that’s about it??? #I think something is something needs a quick touch up but that one should be good #oh fuck #I still haven’t written the instrumental for Look Up. #honestly it was a last minute song to begin with and even though it’s important. it’s not like I’m releasing the whole cast album anyways #I might save that for if I do ever record a whole cast album #it’s very vocal harmony heavy anyways I’d just be struggling to convey the music in their absence #similar story with Langley family I might just drop it. Make Some Noise is similar but has enough energy to work w/o vocals for now #Astrom club #astrom club musical #astrom club the musical #go back in time and convince me from three years ago that I’d write and compose an entire musical I dare you

'What if God's plan is really to get them together?'

'What if God actually wants the angels and demons to think for themselves?'

'What if God actually wants the Earth to be saved?'

These questions are missing the entire point of the story.

I cannot stress enough that this is a satire of Christian fundamentalism written by an atheist and a Jew. What God really wants or has planned is not remotely the point. God could be dead for all that it matters. We're never going to know more about God. And we're not supposed to base our notion of what's right on what God wants. That's what fundamentalism does. Good Omens is specifically subverting that.

The only real answer to these questions is 'It doesn't fucking matter.' We're talking about right and wrong, good and bad, as it affects people (human and otherwise). We have to decide what happens. God doesn't get a say. Maybe they'll approve, maybe they won't. Fuck 'em either way.

#b rambles #alright so the person i’m on placement with right now used to teach at my school #and designed the syllabus and tests for the online class i’m taking now #we have online quizzes and in the syllabus she wrote basically since it’s a board exam course we wouldn’t be helping ourselves cheating #*​board exam prep course #we were going over the syllabus yesterday so she could me how to interpret what to focus most on #and she saw the note about cheating and said “haha you can tell i wrote this syllabus hey?” #then TODAY i was saying i have to do the quiz when i get home and she said i could do it there so she can help me #and i was like *tone that hopefully could be serious or joking depending on what she expects from me* #haha what happened to cheating doesn’t help anyone? #and she was like yeah but everyone does it anyways #anyways we didn’t end up doing it together but i did cheat by looking at notes because ‘everyone cheats anyways’ #but i’m still gonna feel super guilty i think #and i’m lying to my friend saying that i didn’t cheat bc i don’t know if actually everyone is or not #also we’re getting along well and have like jokes and stuff now so i just texted her a funny questions she had written on the test #but at the same time i’m texting my friend about how annoyed we were at how hard the quiz was #i’m realizing i’m using test and quiz interchangeably but who’s reading this anyways #ANYWAYS idk if this is a very weird social situation or if i’m just incredibly bad at picking up social cues #like my biggest fear in the world everyone around me knows something that i am fundamentally missing out on and just interacting on a whole #different level than me and i’m oblivious #tell me i’m okay patrick dot mp4 was i sick the day in school they taught you how to be normal it just feels like there’s something #fundamental i’m missiong out on like is there an instruction manual you get what i’m saying patrick it just feels like everyone is in this #cabal of normal people and they’re all laughing at me like i’m the jester in my own truman show patrick tell me what the secret is is there #a manual do you have the manual i know you have the manual patrick i know it’s in your truck patrick! #this is why sometimes i feel like maybe i’m not completely nt but even thinking that let alone saying it feels like i’m trying to #take something i don’t deserve idk #b literally has a whole thought spiral in tumblr tags #and i very much do not expect anyone to have read this far but insight would not be unwelcome #also like since i’ve known that she picked which students would come to her site i’ve been so stressed like i hate when ppl like me #bc then i have to work so hard to prevent them from changing their mind which will inevitable happen anyways
