#Emulators are the best

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously
#don’t mind me just chewing on drywall#some of the absolute best comics don’t look remotely impressive until you try to make one yourself#and some absolutely beautiful panel layouts and art combine to make a stunning visual that barely manages to get any meaning across#you have to emulate cinematography by cultural necessity at this point#but if you lean too hard in that direction your comics just become Worse Movies#there’s barely any standard practices for anything because people are just barely starting to look at comics seriously#mumbling

LOOK AT MY WIFE Y'ALL!!!
Evie is the best character in Descendants and I will fight anybody who says otherwise!
And best chara design goes to Uma coz seriously, look at her. She's the best. She should have a crown.
(Bonus)
#I don't make the rules#Evie and Uma are the best#(also yes Uma was my ref when creating Noah)#(you can't tell me the braids to emulate tentacles isn't the BEST chara design choice ever)#the Descendants to Twst pipeline is real#mello's drawings#twisted wonderland#twst#Descendants#disney descendants#my art#art#evie descendants#vil schoenheit#uma descendants#azul ashengrotto#jamil viper#jay descendants

megan thee stallion is the perfect example of unbothered energy. nicki has repeatedly vagueposted about her, gone on unhinged rants about her, gone so far as to mention her dead mother (such a classless low blow), threatened her on live, and has now released the tackiest diss track in history. and what has megan done? literally nothing. she straight up ignored her, aside from that one ig story where she posted herself laughing (which was perfect btw). she is the epitome of “i will not dignify that w a response.” i love it.
#btw i was rly into megan before it became trendy now in light of her dropping hiss / the nicki debacle#nicki’s latest music has been ass anyway but it’s sad to see her behaving like this to newer rap girls#the parasocial hate is literally so intense / insane like i can’t imagine hating someone enough to be persistently harassing them like this#nicki’s a celeb so you’d think she’d know a thing or two about how dangerous it is to pit her fans on somebody else like this#unless this is all just a bid to stay relevant which i would not be surprised ab but nicki seems PRESSED.#i guess if i released something like pink friday 2 id also be feeling threatened by a new rap girl w the bars megan has#i just want her to leave my homegirl megan alone. good on megan for ignoring and living her best life. the energy i wanna emulate#i’m not usually one to play into the whole pit women against other women thing but nicki’s recent actions are so inappropriate. wild#btw megan majored in health administration in uni?? which is a major factor as to why i’m obsessed w her. anyway#text

Aroace Riz real but also Fabian is SO clearly in love with him and Riz has no idea
#honestly fabian might not even fully know yet#a core part of fabians character is that he is so deeply afraid of rejection that he is never going to pursue the people he actually wants#i do think he likes Maezy a lot but i think he only knows how to pursue hot toxic women that will discard him at a moments notice#which in a way protects him from ever actually dealing with heartbreak#is he a gay man dealing with comphet? ehh maybe#i could see that#but I think the vibe i get is more about how he has these platonic friends he completely adores and is fully devoted to#and then in another category he has the people that he does not have any actual attachment to that he will allow himself to pursue#and crossing the boundaries in between those two categories or allowing himself to pursue someone he really cares for#would require a level of vulnerability he is in no way prepared for#in his home life he has an emotionally detached mother who is well liked but kind of floats through interactions on a surface level#and a father who is extremely concerned with fame and glory and attention but doesnt seem to have ever stopped moving in his life#genuinely fabian does not know what a safe loving partnership would look like#and we see him constantly oscillating between emulating his mother and his father in relationships#but just beneath the surface is a little boy who wants so badly to cling to his loved ones so tight and be squeezed right back#with no way of knowing how to even ask for that if he wanted#and riz is his best friend in the world and he knows on some level that riz is simply not interested in having that kind of relationship#not on the level fabian needs#but that also makes riz a safe target for these feelings of devotion#theyre just friends! just besties! fabian never has to reckon with his own loneliness or harmful patterns#if he channels all of his yearning for closeness onto his best friend#anyway! this boy needs therapy#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#fabriz

compilation of my villagers bullying me. this will be a growing collection. these are all from today alone.
#‘but Eliza didn’t you start a new Wild World town on an emulator’ Yes#i’ve had this town for 4 years which is the best i’ve ever done LOL but my cartridge is showing its age and freezing and i don’t#feel like getting yelled at Resetti. but i dislike the controls for the ROM especially since my keyboard is weird#so we’ll make do. somehow#Purrl in my GC town was dumb like Purrl in my WW town i’m pretty sure i did a reset trick and cheated her in LOL#DUMB LUCK#which is what i’m vowing to stop doing by starting all these towns#‘don’t cheat or constantly delete your town to get good villagers’ is like the most basic thing you can do but my AC#perfectionism and neuroticism runs very deeply#when i was a kid if i got a villager i hated i would delete the town without question and would refuse to look at the screen. i hated Cesar#and Boone for this reason and them moving into my town is the worst thing that ever could have happened to me and it happened many times#because i was a RESETTING FOOL!!!#i love you deeply Animal Crossing but you have made me foster some incredibly odd neuroses#ac

The moment I realized the train was the Velvet Room I also realized I definitely needed to draw Lavenza in a little conductors outfit immediately
#og post#my art#ft my best attempt 2 emulate the p5t style. i don't think i did too bad#i could have studied it more but the wikis don't have everyone's sprites yet so it's hard to get adequate references#persona#persona 5#p5#p5t#persona 5 tactica#p5t spoilers#persona 5 tactica spoilers#lavenza#velvet room#the velvet train.....#the velvet train was a very fun moment for me because at the beginning of tactica i was absentmindedly commenting on how#if joker's velvet room were to transform into anything it should be moving somehow. bc p3 and p4's are moving#joker was imprisoned by a malevolent will etc. etc.#and then it turns into a train and its like OH MY GOD ITS MOVING#highlight reel

Avengers Loki demanding that you kneel before him, and you get all flustered before you do so. You kneel, but quite hesitantly for someone who’s wellbeing is at stake. You’re looking up at him and nervously spit out something along the lines of.. ‘Um… I haven’t really done this before..’ and Loki, not realizing you misunderstood and took his demand in a completely different light, is a little confused by your reaction and just thinks ‘Obviously ???’
And he’s thinking really hard about this. A god hasn’t attempted to subjugate midgard in a while.. Considering your kind’s lifespan on average, obviously you haven’t done this before.. Oh, the humans are so silly. Such lost creatures.

ya know, what made epic the musical such a joy for me personally is seeing it actually develop throughout its 4-5 year long history and I don't just mean like from the ground up and everything. I mean it in a way as someone who immediately clocked Jorge Rivera-Herrans as a fellow playwright heavily inspired by Lin Manuel Miranda's style - which fucking meant of course most of the early publicized drafts of epic were raps because of course they are (this is not meant to be a slight because like I totally get him)!
But like actually seeing Jorge apply the lessons in LMM's writing into his own original style that is befitting to the story he wants to tell - and not only that, he literally took his audience along with him on his journey with every tried-and-tested demo and audition and everything, and the actual pre-production and production process of writing an album is something we don't usually get at all, especially in something as extensive as a musical concept album!
Like what really had EPIC make it's mark on the internet and on musical theatre (especially INDIE MT) is that it was a literal Odyssey of sorts - the creation of this entire fucking thing was a journey from beginning to end and we were all invited to witness it from behind the scenes while also having many artists among fans be a part in its creation one way or another, while also observing how Jay had his own artistic development throughout - from someone whose epic was quite obviously heavily stylized after Hamilton, into an artist whose style he can call truly his own.
I have so much more to say on how and why epic became such an iconic piece of work and perhaps being the first MT work in 2020 to truly define the decade, but all in all let's just say I'm glad to have witnessed the growth of an artist - and I'm excited to see what art this will inspire in turn.
#like fjdjs i've seen a lot of people compare jay to lmm which i get it because like duh#but also ive grown to notice that epic like really took a turn for the better when it was less stylized after hamilton#and moreso made with lmm's techniques in mind - but as a foundation and not like a blueprint to follow#likelook at epic now and epic circa 2021 like there are a lot of parts from both that scream 'yep lmm inspired this' ESPECIALLY in motif use#but throughout the progression in between we see jorge come into his own and the songs having their own melody#while still retaining recognizable wordplay ala lmm#i dunno like im speaking personally as a writer whose earliest musical drafts were my attempts at emulating lmm#like i just loved watching the epic growth journey so much because like thats what i wanna become and everything#the journey of growing into a style they can truly call their own while also paying homage to those that inspired them through their lessons#i just find it neat#epic is great#okay thats enough praises now its time for the saga tier list#pfffft there will be more praises and analyses coming up should i like find the time#but yea check epic my dudes its a damn good piece of work#aLSO THE CHALLENGE IS THE BEST SONG IN THE ENTIRE DAMN MUSICAL SO FUCKING GOOD#epic#epic the musical#jorge rivera herrans#lin manuel miranda#hamilton#the odyssey
