i keep forgetting arven is in the humanities track and i know humanities is like the study of human understanding through art and music and psychology and philosophy and stuff so it's probably supposed to be analogous somehow to the complexity of his relationship with his parents and how hard he tries to wrap his head around why they did what they did and how weird it is that the AI thought differently than the real professor and the implications of environmental psychological effects being so complex and unpredictable that they can't be properly measured and translated into even the most super-duper of supercomputers and how it's really weird that even though he knew the AI was obviously not his parent he still had a visceral psychological reaction to their final goodbye because all his brain saw was his parent's face and voice apologizing to him after all that time but i just think of that twitter post that's like "if you're a student just take psychology instead of paying for therapy so you can get credits and figure out wtf is wrong with you"

i just need to successfully write a years-leading-up-to-AYA situation in which there’s this little moment of “phineas doesn’t just have a crush on isabella, he admires her as an assertive and quick-witted leader and a good, genuine person and she ultimately makes him a better person whether they’re together or not”

Entertainment does not exist solely to entertain. Entertainment exists as an art form. Art is a human concept. Art has been celebrated throughout the entire human race for thousands of years. The value of the entertainment industry is that it keeps artistic culture alive as such an important part of human culture. AI art destroys the entire premise of art and the entire value of entertainment.

How would you have written the B-plot in "Some Like It Yacht" in order to get rid of the offensive stereotypes?
First of all, there would be absolutely NO allusions to Native American culture. It’s supposed to be an ironic joke about the adults having a harder time adapting to the situation than the kids. There are INFINITELY MANY ways to portray that without playing into offensive stereotypes of a group of people that have nothing to do with the situation at hand as a means of emphasizing said joke. It’s distasteful and insensitive.
As for how I WOULD write it…
My first thought is that Ms. Murawski should try to build a desk out of materials from the woods. Maybe she’s really bad at it, or maybe she stress-builds a million desks—I’d need a second opinion on that. If the latter ends up being true, maybe Milo asks why she hasn’t been using her craftsmanship to help fix the boat and she’s all like “DESKS ARE THE ONLY THING I KNOW HOW TO MAKE”
I’m not so sure about the other adults. Maybe Coach Mitchell teaches the wild animals how to play sports or something. Maybe he meets the surfing squirrels from that Phineas and Ferb episode and he rediscovers his passion for sports and teaching? Maybe Mr. Drako just sits under a tree to get out of the sun the whole time, watching the action happen from afar? I’m kinda stumped with Milder and Mrs. White, since we don’t really know anything about them.
Leave your ideas in the notes, guys! I’m curious what you think!
I loved this ask, btw! Please ask me writing questions!! I wanna answer them!!! Writing is, like, my whole thing!!!! :DDD

actually, i DID do something productive for my own versatility as a human being
since i was so sleep deprived today i just kinda huddled in a corner and put my head down for a bit and then i still couldn't fall asleep
so i decided while i had some extra time i would finally watch ratatouille, which i've somehow never seen despite hearing about it on the internet every now and then and being a disny kid at heart
i was talking with my brother about it a while later and he said he's already seen it at least twice even though he's younger than me which is like?? then how the heck did i avoid it all this time
and then i was talking about it at dinner and my dad was like "i think we all saw it as a family once" and my mom was like "and i think we saw it when they were doing those free kids movie screenings at the theater that one summer" and i was like "no bc i literally didn't know ratatouille was the name of a dish they serve in the movie until a few days ago and i had no idea what the plot was at all before i saw it today"
and then also my dad mentioned that he heard they were making a sequel to turning red (i looked it up and apparently it was just a rumor) and my brother said he didn't like turning red and i was like why and he was like "bc they never told her about the panda curse and blah blah blah something about the pacing of the movie that wasn't even how it happened and didn't make sense as an argument" and i was sitting there like "BRUH IT'S A METAPHOR FOR HOW PEOPLE WITH UTERUSES ARE MADE TO FEEL ASHAMED ABOUT THEIR PERIODS AND ALSO WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT" and then my dad was like "i actually really liked it" which kinda surprised me but like go off king
so anyway back to ratatouille so uh it's one of my favorite disney movies now. i saw john lasseter and brad bird in the credits and i was like ofc it was them lol
bc like. it's so disney but it's also so unique and poetic and my mom texted me during like the last 5 minutes during ego's final review and i was just. frozen. could barely peel my eyes away for more than 2 seconds to respond. i already liked the movie, the suspense was perfect and it wasn't too suspensey in an annoying way because it was like they were always solving suspense while new suspense was being introduced. like it was more of an underlying thing that you can still enjoy the movie while it happens but you still kinda wonder what's gonna happen with some stuff
like. ego's review was really the moment where it all came together. it was like time stopped and all the themes of the movie came together in a cohesive whole like the cheese and the strawberry or whatever and it was just friggin pristine
come oN MAN I JUST WANNA MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE TIME STOPS AND I WANNA SEE IT COME TOGETHER I WOULD LITERALLY GIVE UP BEING ABLE TO WATCH ANYTHING SPOILER-FREE EVER AGAIN IF IT MEANT I COULD HEAR EVERY STROKE OF THE PEN ON THE STORYBOARD AND ok i'll be normal for now bc like the feelings are accurate but i cannot build comprehensible sentences anymore i need sleep holy sh
