#but i had thoughts lol

[strugglingyetvibing]

you're absolutely right and i think the whole redesign isn't going super well for them

the wattpad fonts plus the driver intro showing more of a 3d car than the actual drivers (more so for the back of the grid than the front), and don't even get me started on the timing tree

okay you can get me started on the timing tree

i hate how it's not as transparent like in the previous design (i could be misremembering - maybe it was just a lighter gray or something, but either way this new tree is just a giant black box that attracts too much attention). i also don't like the sharp corners on the tree. that could have always been a thing and i'm just noticing it now because the tree changed, but i'm a hater of this thing so i'm adding it to the list

i don't mind the 8-bit style that they're trying to implement, but it really clashes with the fancy wattpad font

i'm also not a big fan of the top of the tree and how they implement the red flag system. there's a little bar at the top of the tree that differentiates between the top F1 logo and time remaining block and the drivers at the top of the timing tree. at least in testing, this bar was usually red (likely for f1 brand colors). when they threw the red flag, that bar stayed red, even after the flag was released, so there was visual confusion from the tree as to whether we were red or green. having the bar be red as its resting color is not a good design choice when red has such a big, literally session-stopping use in track broadcasts

i also think that they shouldn't do the split-color box for red flags on the tree. it may be visually 'cool' to have it be split with red background/white font up top and black background/red font on the bottom, but it detracts from the fact that the session has been stopped dead in its tracks for whatever reason. give me back the big ass blocks of red (and yellow) that we used to have and shout to the heavens that something's going down!!

when the checkered flag flew during testing, the timing tree didn't change at all. in the previous design, the background of the whole timing tree would change to a checkered design to visually show people that the session was over. again, maybe i'm misremembering it a bit and it wasn't the entire tree (it could have been just the top portion of the tree), but there used to be a visual indicator on the tree that the session was done aside from the countdown being over. i don't like that the new tree just sits there on its ass doing fuck all when the session is done

finally, and maybe this was just a thing for testing too, but i really hated how the tree doesn't show all 20 drivers anymore. i give it a pass for testing because the timing doesn't matter much, but those bottom two positions better be there at fp1 tonight. because we know f1 has the ability to scrunch every driver on to a singular tree, and it has worked very well. the viewer should be able to see all 20 drivers and their timings/positions on the tree. i get that it's visually calmer to spread out the drivers a bit on the tree, but i refuse to believe that that calmer setup is worth ditching the last two drivers on the tree

i like the idea of a fresh design for the 75th! but this just missed the mark

the font combination they used for the f1 driver intro used to have a monopoly on wattpad fic cover titles back in the day

I hope you don't me hopping on here to say: but this!!!!!!

Something else that drives me nuts, is when people did look up the lyrics, yea they would be 'shocked' by how dark it could be, but would move on without much fuss.

Now I see people making entire covers for ~dark songs~ without (apparently) looking up the lyrics once, during the entire production. And then when people start crying that the song is "too dark"; they act all shock, shit on the song/original producer for making "fucked up/problematic shit" and then take it down.

It's fine if people don't like darker themes, or don't agree with something, or even change their mind, obviously. But to bank off the popularity of a song, and then insult and put down the original artist because you might be seen as a ~bad person~ now, is absolutely insulting and gross to the original artists and their artistic integrity.

Anyways, the new Vocaloid fandom has no spine, and literally can't handle anything that can "tarnish" the "pure" image of Miku lmfao.

back in the day the vocaloid fandom had one joke which was don't look up the lyrics lol they're fucked up xD and now they have no jokes and they just ignore the lyrics completely and sometimes don't listen to the music at all

There's something I've just realised with how Jinx, Isha, and Sevika communicate with each other.

None of them have to actually say words to each other, because they understand what the others saying through body language and looks.

Sevika and Jinx fight seamlessly alongside each other without calling out to each other.

The way they bicker without uttering a word, for example, when Sevika fully takes stock of how her arm look or when the music starts blasting and Jinx just responds with a shrug or a little dance.

Jinx thanked Isha by doing the finger gun towards her and Isha, understanding instantly that it was acknowledgement.

Jinx instructs Sevika on how to operate her new arm by just indicating the motion.

I love dynamics like this because it just shows the level of trust that all three have in each other, even though they know nothing about each other.

Jinx has been isolated from others for the past eight years, Silco has had Sevika work like a horse and, too frustrated with Jinx to really get to know her, and Isha is a new addition and non-verbal. But they still worked together perfectly.

the way that this page in particular was adapted just OOZES studio trigger tbh. like I know everyone likes to joke about studio trigger being the horny studio, but the quick jerky animation direction is what truly makes their work recognizable to me. I can practically see Lio Fotia bleeding through the pixels in that 5 frame animation of Falin peeking through her fingers

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

A little theory I've had about Winter King's original motives based on his heartless comment about Betty and Ice King's original motives for kidnapping princesses in the first place...... clearly she gave off Bad Ex Vibes…
