Idea for an Americanized adaptation of an anime series (guess the anime!)
The answer is in the tags, but read and guess before looking.
Synopsis:
Chelsea Tate is a normal, suburban high school girl whose family runs a local bed and breakfast in a sunny seaside town in Florida. One day, she sees a pop star group on a city jumbotron in Miami and decides she wants to be a pop star too. Follow Chelsea and her friends as they aim for fame and stardom as pop stars!
Starring:
Chelsea Tate, our high-school age protagonist who wants more than anything to be a star. Owns a dog named "Chanterelle".
Yvonne Wadsworth, Chelsea's childhood friend whose family owns a sailboat business. Is a bit of a tomboy and likes to go swimming.
Rita Saunderson, a city girl who recently moved to the suburbs and is gifted in playing piano. She is Chelsea's new neighbor.
Ruby von Kirschbaum, a high school freshmen student who is super shy but loveable. She's also incredibly ticklish.
Hannah-Grace Kaufmann, Ruby's quiet yet sunny friend from middle school who loves reading, but is inexperienced with the latest tech. Her family lives close to a church, and she speaks with a Midwestern accent.
Yolanda Torres, the resident goth girl who has a fascination with all things dark and paranormal. Likes blasting Evanescence on her iPod. Childhood friends with Hannah-Grace.
Maribella "Marie" O'Hare, the rich, fashionable girl who just returned from studying abroad at an Italian boarding school.
Katie Marchand, a surfer girl whose parents run a surfboard shop. Is best friends with Marie.
Diamond von Kirschbaum, Ruby's sister and the class president who apparently seems to hate anything to do with pop stars and fame, or so the rumors say...

Imagine if someone tried to make a Serious American Adaptation of Katamari Damacy.
(Honestly I would watch it because I'm fairly certain it would automatically be So Bad It's Good. If anything it might be a good idea to aim for that effect.)

Dinner With The Parents - Official Trailer | Prime Video
I recently learned that a fourth attempt at an American adaptation of Friday Night Dinner has made it further than the previous three and will air on Freevee starting April 18. You can’t tell a lot from a trailer, but the presence of Carol Kane as the grandmother is encouraging.

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU
I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.
like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 5 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 5 spoilers#(not me realizing that meleanor doesn't actually appear non-silhouetted until part 5 so uhhhhh. whoops.)#(i know a bunch of you read the spoiler-tagged stuff though so i'm putting my life in your hands)#revan would be the funniest one i think because it's just raven but with the vowels switched and i'd be over here going WHAT COULD IT MEAN#anyway i'm here to give the people what they crave and it's obviously references to 70s american sitcoms that spun off of happy days#mork and grimdy. i-is that anything.#the problem of course is now that i might have to actually come up with a bunch of laverne and shirley jokes#when i haven't...actually watched it in a million years#(my personal pool of media i consumed growing up is a good 60% made up of random things i found to watch at 3 am because of insomnia)#(this probably explains a lot about me) (the opinions about zorro adaptations anyway)#hold on let me marathon all eight seasons and -- wait i'm just now finding out there was also an animated series#in which they joined the army and their sergeant was a literal cartoon pig but also they went to space and fought giant gorillas?#but how does boo boo kitty factor into this

After I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole of someone reviewing episodes of Wishbone, my favorite game has been coming up with books/short stories/plays that would make good Wishbone adaptations. The criteria for qualification are:
In the public domain
By an author that hasn't already had a story adapted by Wishbone
A leading male role for an adorable Jack Russell terrier to play
A plot that can be condensed down so the important plot points fit into a roughly fifteen-minute adaptation
Content that is or can be adapted to be suitable for a middle-school audience (though they seem not to have let that stop them as often as you'd think)
Lends itself to a companion story that parallels the plot or themes of the novel in a modern-day middle-school setting
With those criteria defined, the options I've come up with so far are:
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
Wishbone plays: Mr. John Thornton Adaptability: You'd have to cut everything except the strike and the love story. Start with Margaret coming to Milton and disliking Thornton. Have her meet the Higginses and dislike mill owners. Defend Thornton during the strike. Refuse the proposal. Show Higgins and Thornton coming to an understanding, suggest Thornton loses his money, have Margaret save him and propose. The book has way too much for such a short adaptation, but everything else by Gaskell doesn't have enough plot to adapt into a short version or doesn't have a male role for Wishbone. And it would be so cute to see Wishbone in Thornton's Victorian outfits. Modern-day story: At school, a situation comes up that divides students into two rival camps, and they have to learn how to work together and come to a compromise that benefits everyone.
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Wishbone plays: Jack Worthing (you'd want a human actor for someone as lively as Algernon) Adaptability: Pretty high. Plays seem to work well for Wishbone adaptations, and you can tell the story in a few scenes. Modern-day story: Modern-day retelling focusing on the importance of honesty. One of the kids gets out of chores at home by pretending they have to help a new student with homework, but their lies come back to bite them.
"The Absence of Mr. Glass" by G.K. Chesterton
Wishbone plays: Father Brown (imagine him in a cute little clerical collar!) Adaptability: Great. Wishbone has done several detective stories, and short stories easily fit into the short time frame. I chose "Mr. Glass" because it doesn't involve a murder or a lengthy philosophical discussion, and lends itself well to a funny modern story about not jumping to conclusions Modern-day story: One of the kids' parents is acting strangely. The kids investigate and build up the clues until they believe some wild and terrible situation is happening. It turns out to be something innocent (like a surprise party)
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
Wishbone plays: Henry Higgins Adaptability: Pretty good. Plays work well, and the story is very condensable. Not sure how well a story about the intricacies of British accents would adapt to an American show, but it would still work if you make it about "learn fancy manners and don't talk like a hick". You could get some great puns out of the dog telling a human to "Speak!" Modern-day story: The classic school story plot of changing yourself to impress a potential love interest. The girl tries to doll herself up for a dance and learns it's better to be herself.
#books#wishbone#random thought of the day#yes all british but the only american public domain works i could think of were#boring/too character-focused#by an already-adapted author#or are too female-focused to feature wishbone in a lead role

WAS ANYONE GONNA TELL ME THEY ARE MAKING A GERMAN GHOSTS SERIES OR???????????
#fuck yeah let's go I'm so hyped#I am arrogantly convinced it will be much better than the us adaptation but that's because I think us ghosts is absolutely terrible#I am so sorry no offence but it looks so bad#biased opinion from someone who's in love with uk ghosts and generally prefers british televison over american tv so. grain of salt#bbc ghosts#german stuff

Seeing someone going "Ugh, the Netflix show is bad because it doesn't get that the point of Devil May Cry is that humans are inherently superior because they can feel love and demons can't," is wild because, er.
The entire inciting incident of the games is a demon being able to love. Sparda seals off the Underworld because he loves humanity, and later he falls in love with Eva, and those two things lead to the protagonist existing, the games' most frequent villain existing, and lead directly to the motivations of the villains in every game that isn't DMC2.
Also, you know, the big emotional arc of DMC1 is Trish, a demon who was created as a weapon, realising she's capable of love.
#devil may cry#i'll be honest this whole thing feels less like fans getting grumpy over an adaptation#as fans do#and more like americans throwing a tantrum at a show criticising them#as americans do

Watching It’s A Wonderful Life so it’s time to once again push my David Tennant George Bailey agenda
#First of all this story is absolutely due for a revival/remake/new adaptation it is relevant in every era#Don’t wanna hear DT do an American accent? Easy just set it in Scotland it’ll work just as well#He’s got that wide eyed spontaneous whimsy that’s essential to younger George#And obviously in the later scenes he’d be utterly devastating#I always forget what a precious autistic dork George is#And so romantic too#Plus David’s leggy like Jimmy Stewart#And unlike Jimmy Stewart he’s a proper socialist as opposed to an actual Republican#Bonus points if you cast Georgia as Mary and Michael Sheen as Clarence#it’s a wonderful life#George bailey#david tennant#jimmy stewart

How would you recommend drawing differences between saber tooth cat types (Sorry if that doesn't male sense I didn't know how to word it)
So I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but I did make a whole species sheet here:
The point of this is to illustrate the differences, both based on skeletal anatomy, and ones I added in soft tissue for fun!
Uh oh lads, Pav's rambling again!
As far as depicting extinct species in a way that makes them distinct; I find restricting certain traits to only one species or the other helps. e.g: Ice Fangs will never have ear-tufts and Fleet Fangs always have them, Ice Fangs will always have exposed sabers and Fleet Fangs always have lip-pockets covering theirs (they have to be actively grimacing to show the whole fang).
Also look at the varied soft tissue of real life animals.
Fleet Fangs have lynx like ear tufts because they share a similar environment and are both long-limbed ice-cats. They also have a paler under-tail like deer, which I imagine is used for social signalling (Homotherium is hypothesised to be social irl too!)
I decided to give the Ice Fangs more bear like lips, which is loosely based on a (debunked) idea of them having huge jowls that enveloped the whole length of their sabers. This would make actually using the sabers too hard for me to think it's plausible, but a more mobile lip that can be moved out of the way when they go from full gape to rest is a fun concept :D
I also try not to draw any sabercats with pantherine noses. Pantherine rhinarium are quite distinct in their reduction of lower lobe (which I'm sure has a proper name but I Cannot find it and keep getting photos of nose jobs, so I'm giving up). This makes the whole nose into a defined T-shape, but there's no reason for any sabercat lineage to have that specific autapomorphy. So the Fleet Fangs get Jaguarundi/lynx inspired heart-shaped ones, and Ice Fangs have very wide noses like a stretched domestic cat c'x
Not sure that answers your question but hope it helps a bit anyway c:
#Hey Pav why do you put so much effort into their nose shapes of all things when No One Will Notice?#Because /I/ Will Notice!#It's for me!#The paper linked under 'Lip-pockets covering theirs' talks about Smilodon having sabers exposed as well btw#if anyone is interested in reading the Source (tm)#Smilodon had anatomy that seems specifically adapted to let the lips seal around the sabers#rather than covering them like homotherium's lower-lip pockets#mammothask#anon#clangen#homotherium#sabertooth#sabercat#paleo stuff#mammothclan#ice fang#fleet fang#tuft tail#ooc ask#smilodon#panthera leo atrox#american lion#lion#ask

Just saw a reel which said Britain is one of the richest countries in the world so people eating struggle meals like beans on toast is a choice and you know what putting questions of cuisine aside I can't believe we're still saying if a country is rich so are all its people girl things cost more! Don't fuck with me! Often richer countries have a more aggressive poverty gap!!!!
#also said baked beans were invented by African Americans when they were in reality an adaptation of Indigenous bean cooking methods so the#facts are a little shaky#anyway! pissed me off!
