Is it me or helluva boss has the worst angels design ever?! like there just furries with wings look nothing like how much angels are traditional depicted. Also it's in consisted with how the angels were depicted in the pilot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wouldnt say the "worst", just VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY lazy compared to that of the angel designs from most indie works today. Makes the show look dated as all hell. As if it were from a time where people almost nothing about angels or demons and not... 2019-2022. When since theres a real culture being used here from thousands of years of research from thousands of people: Shouldnt doing research still matter? Its not some fantasy cupcake land: This is demonology/angelology!
So the laziness and lack of any actual research has no excuse, almost no merit in this whatsoever. They're lazy, they're copy and pasted, and especially lazy for modern times. They're also careless, since they were all made to be animated in a very short amount of time compared to other indie studio, with hundreds of uneeded details. While the main people designing them get to be lazier about it, the other animators dont get that luxury compared to that of Vivziepop or Sam Miller, and yet they get 99% of the credit for it! WHO UNFAIR IS THAT?! Having to two whole pilots, and then getting no year gap since. Multiple Episodes in 2020, MULTIPLE episodes in 2021, a whole other season at the same time as the first! Then- having your boss rushing you through it because she cares more about how "impressive!" it looks to critics than your wellbeing as a freelancer. Very scummy if you ask me. Then having your boss be excused for it by her fans since they care more about getting more content than the wellbeing of those behind it. Parasocial relationship and all.
VERY scummy. I doubt that they get paid outside of industry standard either, even for doing more work in comparison to most bigger studios who take much more time to do multiple episodes than this smaller indie studio for Youtube. So that makes this even worse. I just hope that the ex animators have been feeling better since they left, because holy shit I would'nt wish this fate upon evem my worst enemy. Thousands of frames, a bunch of overly detailed characters, and even more detailed backgrounds.
Its like an animators worst nightmare. Cant imagine how it feels for a freelancer to work at Spindlehorse who isnt Vivziepop's favorite.
Yikes! 😓

on the torture thing i know it was a while ago but. i feel like downplaying the whole torture thing that happens in dsmp is so. hm. people will be like "think about all the pain c!whoever is going through!" but. you are defending torture. like c!tommy literally had a whole turnaround bc with c!techno he would torture ppl (also i wanna remind that c!connor got tortured canonically- he forgave c!tommy but he is still traumatized from it iirc. its more cemented in canon than c!fundys torture is, where the latter seems to be more that the yelling is canon but the torture was exaggeration and had no bearing on the plot, just one of the few times where a cc is messing around w their friends in a semi canon way) and as such tommy like. grew out of torturing ppl and Doesnt Want That To Happen Ever. tommy torturing others was resolved and he decided not to do so because its immoral.
and then theres the other three torturers. c!sam, c!quackity, and c!dream. obviously c!dream is just completely in the wrong. theres no debate to be had there. c!sam was completely in the wrong as well, also no debate, he cut off his (at the time i think freshly exes iirc?) boyfriend's arm and tortured him and took his first life over worthless things- yes while spiraling but mental health deteriorating is a reason, not an excuse. spiraling does not justify irrational torture of a loved one. people who gloss over this moment, or hell, even praise c!sam for it are.. uncomfortable to be around at best. especially if excessive (and there are people who praise him for it and not in a "c!sam is an interesting and complex character" way but in a "he was in the right" and even girlboss comments kind of. are icky here. [also not to bring race but hm as a poc maybe the fandom could stand not to romanticize the torture of a poc by a character played by a white man. i dont blame cc!sam, not at all, and i think it fits in the story and is not something to criticize the creator for. but please god fandom be normal towards c!ponk. treat him as a person who was hurt by c!sam not just someome c!sam is still in love with after torturing and killing and amputating him. please. hes a person outside of that relationship.])
and then.. c!quackity. even more complicated than c!sam, really. but i still think its immoral to torture a prisoner who cant fight back, abuser or not. i genuinely think dream deserves to die over getting tortured, or at least just. left alone in prison. at most wait a while and then maybe make attempts at getting through to him and if they dont work let him be. but torture is immoral regardless of who you're doing it to and id argue that saying its okay takes away c!dream's humanity. c!dream is a terrible and disgusting person but to treat him as less than human (and i dont mean from like. a design point. nonhuman dreams fuck i mean this in a morality sense) feels.. off to me? like as an abuse victim treating an abuser as just some toy to fuck up is,, idk. it feels off. like im sorry to break it to the fandom but terrible people are still people and treating them as less than people because theyre terrible just doesnt work. it takes away how serious it is that people hurt each other and that the pain will stay. people die, killing c!dream, if anything, actively acknowledges that hes a person who can die like everyone else. torturing him does not. i dont care as much about like girlboss or w/e statements w c!quackity bc yeah hes doing somethin about an abuser but its a terrible solution and c!quackity is an immoral person for doing it, understandable motives or not. c!quackity is more sympathetic than c!sam and c!dream (and while not currently more sympathetic than c!tommy, their reasons for torture do differ and id say that c!quackity has a more sympathetic reason than c!tommy did) but hes still wrong for doing this.
like. idk. dsmp fandom learn how to realize that just because source is full of gray morality doesnt mean that you should start genuinely defending immoral actions just because they arent equal to real life. theres a difference between how dsmp government and pandoras vault just cannot be compared to irl government and prison because they dont function the same and how, in the roleplay, the fictional torture is like irl torture whether you like it or not. the way that the characters' mental illnesses and deteriorating mental health mirrors real life and the way that the abuse c!tommy and others go through mirrors real life is the way that the torture that characters who are canonically effected by it mirrors real life.
of course i could just be more pissy than i need to be but like. i also do not think its Super Serious. i just think that while people can joke around maybe theres some stuff that just shouldnt be treated as Not Serious and Definitely Justifiable just because its fiction. have fun if you want, make girlboss jokes and continue to enjoy the characters because theyre written amazingly and be lighthearted about it if you dont want to be super serious. no one can or will stop you. just. yknow. make sure you arent genuinely defending something horrible. dont be like the people who defend how c!tommy was and is treated just because he fucks up. c!tommy has done some fucked up shit but he doesnt deserve to be treated as less than human and that spreads to everyone in the story. sorry for the super big ramble i just think about this a lot idk - (the dsmp fandom is scary so im not revealing myself just yet. so like idk. im just gonna be 🎭🎪 anon for now)
anon you are so smart i really don’t have anything to add

DAILY BEASTJOIN CHEAT SHEET NEWSLETTERS LOG IN POLITICS ENTERTAINMENT WORLD NEWS HALF FULL CULTURE U.S. NEWS TECH SCIENCE SCOUTED TRAVEL FOLLOW US GOT A TIP? JOIN EXCLUSIVE CONTENT MY ACCOUNT LOG OUT ‹ HOMEPAGE TOO LATE Rihanna’s Dior Gig Shouldn’t Be Historic—It’s Proof of Fashion’s Race Problem Tim Teeman 03.16.15 7:39 PM ET Dylan Martinez/Reuters Beverly Johnson, the supermodel who made history by being Vogue’s first black cover model in 1974, said it best—and she did so with a dry laugh. On the news that Rihanna was about to become the first black model to front a Christian Dior campaign, Johnson told The Daily Beast: “I’m elated. I guess it’s better late than never. Welcome to the 21st century.” While the appointment is to be celebrated, that it has taken this long for Rihanna to make this particular slice of history is shocking, and it is a shaming comment on the racism still prevalent within the fashion world. Dior, after all, was founded on December 16, 1946. Almost 70 years later, the design house announced the 27-year-old pop star would front the label’s “Secret Garden” campaign this spring. With film and photography shot by Steven Klein at Versailles, according to WWD, the campaign will feature models apparently floating ethereally around the French palace in Dior’s gowns. Johnson told The Daily Beast: “It’s fantastic. I love Dior, and Rihanna is very much one of my style icons. I’m happy they got there in the end.” The International Business Times reported that Rihanna would also become the face of the “J’adore Dior” campaign, replacing Charlize Theron. Rihanna has apparently been filmed for the campaign in a sparkly silver sequin dress in Versailles’s Hall of Mirrors. “I adore her style,” Johnson said of Rihanna. “She loves fashion, she’s unafraid. She uses her imagination, which is something we should all strive to do.” The Dior appointment continues a successful March for the singer. Rihanna was last week named the most streamed female artist in the world. But given it is 2015, what does Rihanna’s appointment say about fashion’s own evolution? There are still far fewer models of color than white on the runway during Fashion Weeks, and the presence of black models on the cover of fashion magazines—or lack of them—is still a cause for comment over 40 years after Johnson’s historic Vogue cover. It was, sadly, “news” that Jourdan Dunn became—in February—the first solo black model to feature on the cover of British Vogue in 12 years. When I interviewed Chanel Iman for the London Times two years ago, I asked if she had experienced racism. Iman, who at 16 was the youngest model to appear on the cover of American Vogue and only the third black model ever to have done so, told me: “Yeah, most definitely. A few times I got excused by designers who told me, ‘We already found one black girl. We don’t need you any more.’ I felt very discouraged. When someone tells you, ‘We don’t want you because we already have one of your kind,’ it’s really sad.” For the same article, Bethann Hardison, a former model who has been lobbying the industry on race-related issues, told me: “Things are improving. We have gone from no ethnic minority models in shows to ‘one.’ We need to get past ‘one’ to more. There’s a greater consciousness of Asia and China, so we see more of those faces now. There needs to be a permanency [about] using black models. You still see all-white shows in Europe and New York…And don’t give us an all-black catwalk show. It doesn’t help us; it just puts us into a category.” Real progress will be measured when the catwalks, covers, and clothing ambassador appointments, like Rihanna’s for Dior, cease being tokenistic, and when black models are featured on an equal footing and presence with their white counterparts—and, on magazine covers, without their skin being lightened. “Unfortunately racism is still part of the conversation, and fashion is no different than any other industry,” Johnson told The Daily Beast. “It has to change if you’re going to move forward. You don’t want to move backward. We live in a diverse world. If you’re not participating at that level, you’re not part of the world. People need to see people as people.” As for the pace of change, Johnson said, “Change is hard. As one generation moves out, another moves in—new ideas, new blood. It’s the way the world works.” Sponsored Stories This Military Smartwatch Is The Best Gift Idea for Men In South Africa This Military Smartwatch Is The Best Gift Idea for Men In South Africa techdiscountfinder.com Magic Air Conditioner Takes South Africa By Storm.

Marco Rubio (R-FL), one of the biggest critics in Congress of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, sent out a graphic and cryptic tweet on Sunday showing a before-and-after photo of the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

A still from a video of that spectacle was one of the images in Rubio’s post. Rubio’s tweet was widely interpreted as a message to Maduro, setting off furor on Twitter among critics who saw it as a thinly-veiled threat of U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. Tommy Vietor ✔ @TVietor08 Many people sincerely just want to provide humanitarian relief to the people of Venezuela. This sick bullshit from General Rubio makes that work much harder.

MARCO RUBIO: Hey! Let's have another Libya! Marco Rubio ✔ @marcorubio View image on TwitterView image on Twitter 276 8:07 PM - Feb 24, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 74 people are talking about this Rubio has not explicitly endorsed military action to force out Maduro, but he has hinted at it in the past and has generally agreed with the stance of President Donald Trump that “all options” should be on the table to achieve a regime change in Venezuela. (Rubio’s office did not immediately respond to request for comment on the tweet.) The tweet came on the heels of a bloody Saturday in Venezuela, where at least four people were killed by pro-government forces trying to break up a shipment of aid supplies from neighboring Colombia. Rubio, along with Trump and his administration, has recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate head of the Venezuelan government. Rubio, who is Cuban-American, is among the more hawkish members of the Senate, and has typically led the charge on Capitol Hill in organizing pressure campaigns against leftist strongmen in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela and Cuba. Back in 2011, Rubio cheered Gaddafi’s death, even criticizing President Barack Obama for not going far enough in his military intervention there. “If you’re an enemy of the United States and we have a chance to take a shot at you in a way that doesn’t hurt us, and has a chance of being successful, we’re probably going to take it,” Rubio said of the time about Gaddafi. “There’s a price to pay for being an enemy of the United States.” Rubio’s traditionally right-wing foreign policy has put him at odds with Trump, who the Florida Republican has cultivated as an ally. Rubio has criticized Trump’s plans to reduce the U.S. military footprint in Syria, and has been a proponent of active U.S. involvement in forcing out dictator Bashar al-Assad. He has also criticized his olive branches to Russian president Vladimir Putin and expressed skepticism over outreach to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
