NOT ENOUGH OF YALL ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NAME A HAMILTON SONG BIT

The videos are fucking art

The bats use the metric system. You can not tell me that the bats would use inches, feet, yards and miles when centimeters, meters, and kilometres are right there.

Maturing is realizing the Waffle House Index is a shitty unit of "measuring" the severity of a catastrophe, and we should never have plainly and callously celebrated a company that is willing to sacrifice their employees during a hurricane for below-par food. We should never celebrate this, anyway, but the sheer level of crass jokes that are associated with this "metric" is uniquely cruel.

"the europeans" did you know that most of the world uses kg and meters including south America. unitedstatians are not beating the uneducated idiot burger allegations.

all these anons are doing is proving america truly is the greatest nation in the world, as it is becoming more and more apparent that we are in fact the only nation where people make jokes! god bless

Me: yea so you see, Oltyx knew anger at his exile clouded his judgement sometimes, so as a messed up workaround he commissioned a cryptek to augment his mind with partial copies of distinct parts of his own consciousness. However, given his general state of mind, him and the 5 resulting subminds end up spending most of the time being unhealthily hostile towards each other. The subminds are too different to ever agree on something, and Oltyx is always so annoyed at their constant bickering and criticism of him that he never properly listens to their advice. But as the stakes get higher and he's forced to work through his anger and entitlement so he could save his people, Oltyx starts to be more gentle and trusting with his subminds, and in turn they start working together, so they could take better care of Oltyx. They're not even constantly on the edge due to specifics of their minds anymore! The 6 end up being an actual team where every member is valued and respected, which is an incredible metaphor for self-acceptance, because you can never be whole if you despise parts of yourself, however contradictory, and-

you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?

new hot take is that "i don’t need anyone but God" is pretty much wrong and we should stop telling people they can’t get married/have children/etc before they believe this fully. unless you have the spiritual fortitude of a hermit it is untrue. obviously God is perfection in which no lack can be found but we are not in His full presence by virtue of being on earth! if we were then we would be in heaven but we are not! in the meantime, the experience of God we have on earth necessarily includes other people whether they be friends or spouses or children. if that was not true God would not have said "It is not good for man to be alone" and given him a companion even though God himself was interacting with Adam! in this current state of separation from God as it exists on this earth, very few people can really be without all other people and rely only on contemplation and prayer. obviously God is enough and will always be enough, but our perception of Him in this fallen world is seriously lacking if we cannot experience His love through the experience of loving and being loved by others.

me: possessiveness as a theme for the dark barons absolutely makes sense. in contrast to the hyperindividualism and isolation fostered in the un, the fold seems to be about how community itself can become strangling. the crowded street scenes, the busy webs of character connections. we have vesta and her sister smothered by family expectations, the mothers who are always around the corner and always ready to serve (even at the cost of their own life). kurushu on their tail, crisp and stifling. when everything is connected how much of a person can you be? dark sonia, a twisted mirror of the grandmother, preys on the grief and doubts of people who’ve lost family, who question their worth. dusty gives in to her to save the people he’s beholden to. baxford wanion’s first words on the stage are for the sake of his underling; because walden is his. even weepe-as-swinzey’s robber baron capitalism is possessive: what’s yours is mine, what’s mine is also mine. everything is about what you owe to each other, what they owe to you, a knotted network that culminates in paralyzing fear, because when you’re responsible for so many there’s so much more to lose.

also me: you sign one employment contract with dark sonia or baxford wanion and they’re out here saying the most alarming things. “i am what waits for you at the end and what knew you at the beginning” “never again will I lose what’s mine” this is seasonal work! where did you come from!

In case you're wondering, I have a (not-so) secret fondness for bright shiny glowy colors, and that influences a lot of my design decisions.

(Also, I am personally proud of myself for using colors and shapes to show who's talking when they're not in frame. I think that was a very clever decision, and you can't tell me otherwise. Well, you can, you'd just be wrong.)

here's the thing. yes, some pieces of art are "better" than others. there are many criteria you can measure that with--technical skill, creativity, clarity, conceptual depth, successful execution of the artist's intentions, etc., and i do think it's useful to clarify which ones you're using as a measuring stick. but like, of course you can evaluate art. of course you can be critical (in the "art critic" sense) of art. (among other things, that's one of the most important ways to get better at making art yourself.)

however. when it comes down to evaluating what gets to count as art. what art even gets to have a seat at the table. i will go to bat for the thing that isn't as "good" every single time.

you can say you think a piece of art is bad. you can say you think it lacked technical skill, or clarity, or conceptual depth, and you consider those important elements of a successful work. i might even agree with you. but if you think that means it doesn't matter, someone is going to die on this hill and it isn't going to be me
