An attack for swiftystarss on Artfight! She has a lot of cool art, go check it out!

I don't know why I'm drawing so many skykids, but hey, it's fun.

[beyondthetemples-ooc]

Whew.

Okay.

I think I'm too tired to keep spamming Starset.

I need sleep.

But it's been awhile since I hyperfixated on a thing that hard and felt that much sheer JOY about it.

I will say that Brave New World was a hyperspecific instance of hyperfixation that started it tonight... ;P

But I'm going to be reading the novel(s) this weekend.

'S' in parenthesis because I don't know if I'll have time to FINISH both... but I do HAVE both! I'll only be reading them at home because as SOON as ABHotF came out, they stopped selling The Prox Transmissions on their website? So uhh. I may have gotten a collector's item. Thank you, ebay!

Anyways, I'm not carrying them in my bag because they're both paperback because that was The Only Option and also the second novel is SIGNED. So. Nope. Not letting THAT guy get beat up in my day bag.

(Kinda tempted to find a .pdf pirated copy to read for the same reason I burned my Fully Legally Obtained CDs. Just so I wear out the COPY instead of the original in use.... but alas. My eyes get sore reading white-background black-text files anyways and I really strongly do prefer a physical book. And I don't have any kind of kindle-y thing.)

Woe: A Housecat's Story of Despair by Lucy Knisley. RH Graphic, 2024. 9780593177631. 208pp.

Knisley and her family adopted the apricot-hued Linney when she was an adult, and it feels like she was already full of personality, which Knisley's drawings express perfectly. The words she puts in Linney's mouth include many over-articulations of sadness and despair only a cat could feel -- after pooping, chiding her owners for their bad behavior, when being placed into a cat carrier. She hides her sweetness with loud vocalizations, and it's unclear which she despises more, bad haircuts or her excited puppy friend Flora.

This is my favorite book of cat comics; it's right up there with Trondheim's Bludzee, Jeffrey Brown's Cat's Are Weird And More Observations, and the first time I read a Garfield collection when I was a kid. Well before the end of Woe, I absolutely loved Linney.

My friend and librarian Sarah, who used to post on Book Threat with me, said the book is being marketed as YA. We both agree it's really not YA though. It's for everyone -- Lucy and her husband and their young son are big presences in the book, and it would be a great read-aloud for younger kids -- and it is the perfect gift for families missing departed cats that were big presences in their lives.

It's really a testament how Monster High's characterization and world building is enough to go head to head with against Rainbow High's doll quality.

Now I'm not saying its necessary to like the character but I am saying it can help quite a lot.

MH makes it so you don't just get a doll you want to get a doll of the character, the doll of the character's friends, the doll of the character's family, the doll of the character's enemy etc (what I'm trying to say is an emotional attachment to a character can really help.)

Characterization is a huge key of MH (especially since the web series came out BEFORE the dolls.) Plus MH didn't just rely on the web series to do that but had various other media to get into the series like the movies, books, and graphic novels.

The dolls originally even came with their own diaries!

Can the same even be said of RH? I mean the very first MH ep quite literally introduces us to the ghouls while RH sets up a plot thread about Violet drifting away from Sunny by applying for different dorm rooms that isn't touched upon until A WHOLE SEASON LATER! (and don't even get me started on the mess that was Rainbow Vision)

Not mention the lore and world building of MH like the Vampire's Heart, the origin of the school itself, Cleo being entombed with her family for thousands of years and being betrayed by Amanita.

Meanwhile RH has never even explained why Shadow High students look like this

Its just kinda funny to me how Mattel made their big high school doll line and that MGA is doing the same but are flopping in a considerably crucial aspect of it.

Hi Jenn - I was wondering whether there is any discernible difference between being published by a big 5 imprint that has the same name as the overall house (ex. the Random House imprint itself), vs an imprint under the same house but with a different name? Are you more likely to be a lead title and get more marketing support if you are being published by the former? Is there more implied prestige? Thank you <3

Short answer: no.

But since you probably want a longer answer:

In case you don't know it, most publishers, particularly large and VERY large publishers, are broken up into "groups" and "imprints" -- that is, different brands all under the umbrella publisher. This goes for ALL the big publishers, but I'll focus on PRH since that was your example:

Penguin Random House is broken up into multiple "groups" and within those groups are multiple imprints. << (that link shows all the groups and their imprints!)****

The two groups you mostly would be familiar with on the kids side are Penguin Young Readers Group and Random House Children's Books. But WITHIN those, on the Penguin side, there is Viking, Dutton, Philomel, Putnam, Kokila, Penguin Workshop, Rocky Pond, etc etc. And on the RH side, there's Random House Books for Young Readers, Delacorte, Knopf, Crown, Labyrinth Road, Make Me a World, etc etc.

They are ALL part of PRH. There is no imprint just called "Penguin" on the kid's side -- you have to go to one of the imprints. There IS an imprint called RH BYR -- but there is no special perk or prestige to being published by that imprint vs Knopf, or whatever other RH imprint. Individual imprints may be different sizes or have different specialities, missions, or "vibes" -- but they are all PRH, none of them are particularly "better" or "worse". (They might be better or worse for YOUR book, but they aren't better or worse to the general public or anything like that!)

For example: Rocky Pond is pretty much one main editor, and it has a specific mission: Kids books for all ages that focus on mental health and social/emotional learning. Kokila has several editors, and a specific mission: Kids books for all ages that center marginalized voices/experiences. Rise has two editors, and a specific mission: "To engage, empower, and evolve the youngest readers (ages 0-5) with authentic, relevant, and elegant books." -- you get the picture, right? Different vibes! So if YOUR book was appropriate for one of those imprints, maybe that's the best imprint for it. You'd still be "published by Penguin Random House" -- you'd be a "Penguin author" -- you'd just be at one of the smaller imprints that specializes in that kind of book. (And in the case of Penguin, since there literally IS NO IMPRINT just called "Penguin" -- well, you are gonna be at a differently named imprint!)

(The RH side is more difficult to discern from that link because the RH imprints don't have their "mission statements" listed like that, so I'll just tell you -- Delacorte is mostly highly commercial YA & MG fare, Knopf is books for all ages that are more "literary", RH BYR tends to be commercial middle grade, chapter books, series, etc, RH Graphic = Graphic novels, Joy Revolution is basically diverse romances by and about BIPOC characters, Labyrinth Road I'd think of for MG adventure/fantasy series, etc. There's crossover, of course, but essentially: Different vibes for different kinds of books! If your book is a commercial chapter book series, it's probably gonna be RH BYR -- if it is a lyrical and literary picture book, it probably WON'T be -- and that's fine!)

--

**** ETA: If you want to know more, this info is out there and available online for all the publishers, it's not secret information. I always suggest, when you read a book, make a note of the publisher/imprint, because you will start to see patterns -- that's the best way to get the "vibe" of a given imprint, and can help you find comps, figure out where YOUR book belongs, etc etc.

SO MANY IDEAS! Still working on some outfits for her but for now this one will do 💙 The skirt is from RH, top and leg warmers were made using her fluffy scarf. She's so much fun to dress up! I need to go fabric shopping 💙❄️

I made some black leggins and a graphic crop tshirt but I wasn't happy with the look so I'll keep experimenting and making clothes for her.

Got frustrated so now it's angry rant abt RH again.

Idk how often this is brought up, but can we talk about how not mobile friendly Royale High is? I am a mobile user. Always have been. I used to play on my phone until I got a hand-me-down tablet from my grandma. Graphics arguably got better with the tablet, but it's still REALLY hard to stay in RH servers for longer than three seconds before my tablet ejects me back to my home screen. Public servers are so bad for me that I cannot play RH for long without using a Private server that I can't afford and thus rely on one of my friends to keep up. And even THEN I still crash, although not as frequently.

This problem is genuinely frustrating for me as I really want to do more on RH, but it's a struggle for me to so much as leave the castle heart without crashing. So I can't necessarily grind in a public server. And grinding in private still often requires me to rejoin several times. I can't do tasks like rainy day champion due to how fast I crash in public servers. It's honestly just really snnoying, especially since I remember a point in time where this wasn't a problem for me on RH (or at the very least not as bad of a problem as it is now.)

I have tried everything upon turning off shadows to shrinking my camera view down. And my general graphics settings could not possibly get any lower from where it is now.

Idk what else I can say here but I just really needed to rant because I'm so tired of this as someone who has no access to high end devices and cannot afford anything better. Thx for reading.

The continuation of my graphic memoir coursework. Done extremely quickly for, ah, university reasons. I tried to capture the really weird, nebulous feelings that come from working in archaeology.

And waking up to do hard labor on one's day off.
