The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same

Wisdom of Colin R. Davis and his thought-provoking quote: "The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same."Embracing resilience and learning from setbacks #SuccessAndFailure #GrowthMindset #OvercomingChallenges #LifeLessons #E

“The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.” This thought-provoking quote challenges the conventional notion that success and failure are polar opposites. Instead, it suggests that the paths leading to both outcomes often share striking similarities. In this article, we explore the profound meaning behind this quote, analyze its key messages, and offer cautionary…

Wh-

Alright. We keep calm. Spamton, you’ve probably been hurt before. You know what it feels like.

1. Does it feel like something might be broken?

2. Do you have any stab wounds?

3. Did you hit your head at any point?

4. Do your f1 things work on you, and if not, do you have anything that might help with it? (Not the s potion, I repeat not the s potion)

Ngl definitely thinking back to the cartoon-making chapter now we know that Twilight doesn't realise studying/pursuit of knowledge can be fun. No wonder the cartoon he made sucked. He was approaching it purely from the educational angle with zero idea of the entertainment aspect that makes edutainment programming effective.

It's not that he was really bad at writing the fun parts. He plain didn't realise there were meant to be any in the first place for it to work.

Copying the aesthetics with no understanding of what was underneath.

sometimes when I look for embroidery technique references I browse etsy & I came across this person who embroiders tagame panels and experimented with adding translucent resin globs to the final product to give the cumshots a 3D effect...listening and learning

why is everyone advocating for wade to die in the knuckles show? who else is going to convince shadow that humanity is worth saving so he helps sonic stop the ark

increasingly my personal take is that im less and less hyped abt/interested in film/anime adaptations of manga or graphic novels bc generally i think a really good comic is probably already telling the best version of that story and that most adaptations lose something in that change of medium. sequential art is an amazing artform and i think really good comics are often good because they are comics. so while there's a lot of anime adaptations i do really like i just don't have any need for my favorite comics to be adapted in this way.

The trouble, if they ever adapted Bells Hells into a series, is that I think there isn't a lot to gain with the VM animated style.

MY VISION: instead of a full series adaption, a set of mixed media/stop-motion short films showing backstories and sidequests. Bells Hells are so dark and weird and fucking scrungly that to animate them like VM would be to lose something. (mainly Fearne's many many costume details)

I'm not knocking the intro, btw - it's great. But step into my mind palace and imagine Nana Morri as a Henson-type puppet; or Laudna styled with coraline's other mother transformations! Rankin Bass Chetney! 'Animate object' belongs in stop motion. Think of the meta of a physical set laid out like Matt's battle maps.

Look me in the eyes and tell me the shade mother should be anything but a slimy wet puppet.

This game is sooooo beautiful I enjoy replaying it again and again- I wonder, how come when Renfield thinks of Jonathan, his face becomes obscured by a flower, and then when Jonathan thinks of Renfield, the same thing occurs?

thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it! 🌻

those moments are meant to evoke a few things. the big thing was a feeling of distance -- it's been a while since Renfield and Jonny have met in person, so they're not confident they have a perfect memory of each other, or that who they are now will be the same as who they were when they last met.

it's also intended to evoke a bridal veil, to go with the rest of the wedding imagery.

as for why Jonny gets a floral theme; all the love interests have a nature motif of some sort (Drac and Cez have fire, Ghost has ice/electricity...). Jonny's colour scheme was chosen to make him feel like a bright presence in the story, it went well with plants, plants fit his vibe, things slotted together from there.

On one hand I think there's a good argument to be made that you could do interesting things by adapting Goodbye Eri into animation (or even live action!) but you'd need to actually have a vision and want to say something about the artistic work of adapting a piece of art into a different medium, I think...

slowly but surely i am finishing up anj 2 and i got to episode 39, which bookends the harimau fight. wow. everything with joe and carlos in that arc was gay already, yet the anime staff looked at it and decided to push the homosexuality to its upper limits

[theodoradove]

if the locked tomb were adapted to any other media, the one i'd most like to see is opera

imagine doing all that intertextuality/referentiality/reprise/whatever-the-hell-else-is-going-on through music

i get so mad when ppl say riddle would be ignorant/clueless towards lgbtq+ stuff bc he was raised sheltered. no the fuck he wouldn't. maybe he'd start out that way yeah but as Soon as its implied he doesn't know something hes taking that shit to heart and learning everything he could EVER know about it. hes making a fucking study of it. he knows more than you actually

[vimbry]

oh something that might be helpful to people also find it hard to appreciate their own skill growth and haven't already thought of it: I usually film or photograph myself/the work at the start of something, so when I inevitably plateau, I can look back at that to regain perspective on how far I've actually come

EXTREMELY offensive that while we got russian fyodor and english agatha, we were robbed of ukrainian nikolai, french rimbaud and irish bram
