Ideas for the next South Park Episode by u/Glittering_Jess317

Ideas for the next South Park Episode I tried to post this earlier from my phone but I'm not sure I did it correctly:Plot: The Dumbartons are excited to be getting a purchased "award" where ILBW will give a speech. A large glitzy event is planned. When they arrive and see all of the A-listers in attendance, ILBW says "I told you I am a star, H!" Harry is escorted down a red carpet as the first wife skirts the edge to follow him on the pavement. They soon discover this is a roast. All the A listers are there to roast ILBW, not to hear a speech. Her forehead vein explodes. The End.

Iden is right there. Want a lead with color? Play Battlefront 2. Stop lying and saying that was the most requested thing. It never was. If so, how comes Jedi Fallen Order did as well as it did with a white lead? Despite you people claiming you was going to boycott. How comes it’s getting a sequel? How comes that same white lead is getting a whole franchise? How comes it was nominated for a BATFA. I don’t even want to come across as rude but they gave you a game with a WOC and people ignored her and now she’s barely even talked about. It’s about the money. Disney are business people.

this is a lot of assumptions for someone who doesn’t seem to know what they’re talking abt. have u spoken to star wars fans of colour recently bc yes, it is the most requested thing. did u see what happened w finn? or did u ignore that?

u have literally no idea whether i’ve played battlefront or not. i haven’t, but that doesn’t change the fact that there should be more than one lead of colour. if i had that wouldn’t change the fact that i can still criticise other parts of the franchise. i adore tfa but im incredibly critical of the rest of the sequel trilogy and it’s mess of bigotry and abuse apologism bc surprise! i can like things and be critical of them at the same time!

this is the first star wars game i’ve played and there WERE a lot of requests for the lead to be a poc. i literally saw it. i don’t recall anyone saying to boycott but sure keep that victim complex up 😋

and what the fuck do u mean by “you people”? bc that feels distinctly racist. leave poc alone and let them be upset w disney (i’m white too which just shows that u assume everyone who calls out racism must be a poc which is interesting, and by interesting i mean racist)

also, i literally fucking said in my post that cameron monaghan did a good job. i love him as an actor and he did a good job. disney still should’ve hired a person of colour.

i said NOTHING abt the game’s content. the plot is sound and the chs are good. doesn’t change the fact that disney’s fucking racist. even if i agreed that them hiring another white man wasn’t problematic, there’s still the whitewashing in game and the cultural appropriation woven into the entire canon. and the second sister who is acting as cal’s foil is a woc! having a single person of colour from any race or ethnicity in a piece of media and making them evil and have to be defeated by a white person is always racist! and that’s just from where i am at chapter three.

battefront is a completely different type of game. i literally didn’t know abt it until recently. disney also did next to no ads for it so when it didn’t do as well bc of the lack of ads shitheels like u would say white leads r more popular. then they can say “ooh look! white ppl sell better!” that’s a pretty common marketing technique amongst racists. netflix has done it repeatedly. the lead for battlefront should be more popular, but do u know what i saw the last time i saw an ad for battlefront? rey. and the time before that? obi wan. this is literally the first i’ve heard abt there being a woc as the lead. the only ads i ever saw for it emphasised the fighting rather than the story, which from a quick browse was apparently badly written. the ads made it sound like it was in a similar style to injustice

also r u rlly saying that poc should have to play a shooter game as opposed to an action game to have a lead of colour bc that’s racist pal. poc should be able to play any genre of star wars game (or any franchise) and find a ch of colour and guess what! they can’t do that! bc disney!! r racist!!

ur right the battlefront lead should be more popular and well known and fandom should acknowledge her more. she should’ve gotten better from both disney and fandom. that doesn’t change the fact that cal should’ve been played by a moc.

and srsly, ONE lead of colour? as opposed to HOW MANY white leads of the years? get over urself. poc deserve better than that and u know it

also pal, if u think going “but,, but the money!!1” is going to make an ANTICAPITALIST sympathise w disney u came to the wrong fucking blog. everyone should do the right thing even if it costs u profit.

anyway disney know that poc leads r just as profitable as white ones. y’all r v quick to forget how profitable black panther was

and surprise surprise sometimes ppl who want more diversity still play games that don’t have it. what exactly is ur point?

but sure, keep telling urself that a man of colour wouldn’t have done as good a job 🤷 ur racist and lying and it shows and YES ur rude

tldr; disney didn’t advertise battlefront having a woc lead which is shitty. fandom also erased her which is equally shitty. one lead of colour in the entire franchise is not enough and cal should’ve been a moc. fuck disney and their corporate greed.

eta: tfa is also a goddamn racist mess, i meant to say that i was critical of it as well as the rest of the sequel trilogy and my adhd made me forget fvgfvg

Hello friends! Right click first image for full size!

I’ve been seeing a lot of Loofs in dresses lately and I cannot imagine what thing could possibly be more MY STOP. So here’s my take!

@onepancake​ are you the collector of the dress Loofs? Cause I keep seeing them on your blog!

More Strawhats in dresses to follow =D

ETA: Strawhat Dresses Tag

Luffy | Zoro | Nami | Usopp | Sanji | Chopper | Robin | Franky | Brook | Jinbe

Notes and junk after the cut!

FRIENDS DID U KNO that I have a THING about FASHION and COSTUME DESIGN? Because haha I am suddenly gonna vomit all those obsessions all over my blog.

I had a lot of fun designing this dress! I had a few notes I wanted to hit or get the dress to evoke:

Luffy’s vest

The floppy sleeves/back of Luffy’s post-timeskip shirt

The ruffles on his amazing Film Gold dress

Red body with blue and yellow details

My starting point was this dress I found on the intertubes:

It had a vest-like look for the bodice, which is what I wanted, and it had a fun silhouette. I modified the bustline into something that would frankly not be publicly acceptable on a woman but this dress is for a dude so who cares! Flatter those upper bodies! I added ruffles up top and down below, and I gave the top a bit more structure.

Once I had that draft down, the Great Dress Debate began. I showed this design to @mathemayjicks​ and @bluechocoice​ and they had completely opposite opinions on it: one thought the top was too formal for Luffy’s taste but the bottom was good, while the other thought the top was great but Luffy would hate the bottom because it was too long. There was a bunch of back and forth during which among the three of us we pointed out that:

During Whole Cake, Luffy rocks his own spin on formalwear

While Luffy doesn’t like pants, a loose, floaty skirt like this one is way less restrictive and he probably wouldn’t mind it falling below his knees like this

So after all this feedback that I really really appreciated I... ended up... keeping the original design...

>.>

Then colours, wherein @sevdrag​ helped a ton. After trying a few variations with four colours (red, white, blue, yellow) and her advising me to cut it down to three for cohesion’s sake, she asked me if I wanted a cohesive look or something wacky, and I realized I really could do a bit of a wacky look because Luffy is a wacky dude. So I decided to give the four colour look one more go, taking Sev’s advice to make the bodice panels all shades of one colour as opposed to completely different hues. In hindsight this was a brilliant suggestion because those strong geometric shapes + bold contrasting colours was just too much. I made the bodice panels yellow, added some detailing to the skirt, and there it was. Once I sorted that out, I realized why it works well to evoke Luffy’s canon look: the yellow at his torso is reminiscent of his sash, while the skirt’s colours are ordered just like his default canon colours, with red on top, yellow in the middle, and blue at the bottom.

So that’s how this dress came to be! Next up I’m gonna tackle Zoro, and if all goes according to plan his will look completely different =D

Luffy started out wearing his flip-flops and then I realized he just looked better without them for purposes of this picture. Also I’m pretty proud of how his feet came out and didn’t want to interfere with that >.>

OH AND ALSO I have never worked in this style before and made everything up on the fly and also used zero character references haha uh yeah. It’s not one of my usual styles and it’s not an imitation of anyone else’s style either. It’s just me... trying stuff out? Yeah!

SleepWalker 2019 Freshman List

words by Amari Newman, Maxx McGee, & Brennan Ryan

We are SleepWalker Radio, broadcasting on Tuesday nights at midnight on WOBC. In our show, we listen to a lot of rap and watch a lot of rap music videos. Right now XXL is the only relevant hip hop outlet that puts out a “Freshman List,” which is a list of the best artists relatively new to the rap game who have gained a lot of attention in the most recent year. Unfortunately, every list that XXL has put out seems to be more and more out of touch with what actual fans of rap in our age range actually listen to. They also only highlight rappers in their list, even though so much more goes into the overall content put out by these artists including the beats they rap over and the music videos they put out.

So we’re going to put out our own list of rappers, producers and videographers in the rap game that’s more in touch with what people are listening to and want to experience.  This post will cover producers, and you can find the post on rappers here, but stay posted for more posts on the WOBC blog from SleepWalker Radio!

Forza

@YunForza

Forza, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, makes the rawest and rarest beats in the underground. A member of the Working On Dying producing team, Forza has made a name for himself for his use of a wide variety of samples from video games, and other things I can’t identify, matched with his signature high tempo drums and unconventional 808 patterns that automatically makes you want to mosh. His music sounds like you’re in an intergalactic space war with a bunch of spaceships flying by at like 100,000 miles per hour shooting lasers at you, and all of it is happening at like a 2x youtube speed. Like the s**t is wild to listen to.

The last few years, Forza has established himself as a pioneer in the underground’s Soundcloud scene, working with SickboyRari (Black Kray), Lil Tracy, Five Finger Posse, Bootychaaain, Bladee and Agoff. Forza has recently evolved his sound, focusing on more melodies that match his high tempo sporadic drum patterns, and has collaborated with more mainstream artists including Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Peep and Yung Bans. Forza, along with the whole Working On Dying collective, has already made a significant impact on the underground rap scene and is on track to make massive waves in the industry very soon.

Songs produced by Forza to listen to:

“Yung Bans - ETA,”  “Sub9k - Wit it,” “Lil Uzi Vert - Of course,” “Agoff - Aint no hitta”

Chinatown

@ChinatownBeats_

Chinatown, from Greensboro, North Carolina, makes some of the most melodic crankage out there. One half of the Capsule Corp production team with MilanMakesBeats, China has developed a great selection in the soundscapes that he creates through his production. His complex and layered synths mesh together to make beautiful melodies that are only enhanced by the powerful 808s and wavy drum and snare patterns that accompany them. Listening to Chinatown is like taking a stroll through the world’s most expensive chandelier shop, or driving down a highway next to the beach at midnight with a full moon out and the top down, but there's no wind, just the feeling of slight mist coming from the ocean that’s dark red. It’s honestly just beautiful to listen to.

Chinatown has worked with a variety artists, ranging from Diego Money, Chxpo, Slime Sito, ThouxanbanFauni and D Savage to more mainstream artists like Playboi Carti, Famous Dex and Rich the Kid. China is in a position to really make big moves this year with his sound getting more distinct and better, and I am already seeing a trend in other producers who are shaping their beats similar to China’s, showing how much influence he already has in the game.

Songs produced by Chinatown to listen to:

“Diego Money - Numbers,” “Playboi Carti feat Lil Uzi Vert - Firearm,” “Thouxanbanfauni - GiGi,” “Chxpo - U ALR SNOW”

Beat By Jeff  

@jeffersonbeats_

Beat by Jeff, from Arlington, Texas, was probably the most influential producer in the game this past year. Originally gaining recognition in the scene for being the sole producer of almost all of Splurge’s songs, Jeff’s simplistic style quickly took over the sound of the whole rap industry in a few months. His beats are not that complex, and normally include some robotic ass and reverbed 808, hi-hats, and a clap or snare, but it cranks. And every person who raps over it sounds great. Although he did not create the #woah dance, almost all the videos that went viral of people doing it were to Beat By Jeff’s production. Once the #woah started blowing up, a large amount of relevant rappers at the time came out with songs with a Beat by Jeff “type beat” that people could #woah to. He really repopularized the non-melodic and basic components of Hip-Hop production that lets the lyricism and cleverness of a rapper shine.

Jeff has done a great job at putting people from his city on, working with a bunch of Texas artists including Splurge, 10K.Caash, S3nsi Molly and G.U.N. He has recently began to branch out, working with artists like Unotheactivist and Matt Ox. Jeff is definitely responsible for the shift in the production in rap songs that took place in 2018, and I’m sure he’ll continue to influence rap’s production this year as well.

Songs produced by Beat by Jeff to listen to:

“Splurge - Intro pt. 2,” “Unotheactivist - As a Young Boy,” “S3nsi Molly feat Lil Brook - 223,”   “Splurge - Tear it Apart”

Marcusbasquiat

@marcusbasquiat

Marcusbasquait, from New York City, has got some of the most ethereal and otherworldly beats out there. Using keys and synths that sound like chime bells moving very smoothly in a nice breeze, Marcus creates complex and beautiful hums that have futuristic snares, hi-hats and drums over it. Listening to his instrumentals puts you in an alternate universe that is probably the color purple.

This past year, Marcusbasquait has become a frequent collaborator with Lucki, being responsible for all of the production on his “Days B4 II” ep, along with producing “2012 summer” off his Freewave III project. He has also produced for Thouxanbanfauni, BOOFBOIICY, UnotheActivist, and Terrence Escobar. He is quickly developing his own sound, and it's becoming easier to identify a Marcusbasquiat beat as his collection grows. He's definitely gonna be putting out some heat as the year goes on.  

Songs produced by Marcusbasquiat to listen to:

Lucki - 2012 Summer, Thouxanbanfauni - Eyes Wide Shut, Lucki - Switchlanes

LordFubu

@FUBARTI

LordFubu, from Jacksonville Florida, production is really just beautiful. His smooth keys and samples, fit perfectly with his clean drum patterns. Listening to his music is like laying on a beach with really warm sand and looking at an ocean that's crystal clear. Fubu has been steadily expanding his repertoire and reputation since 2015, currently acting as the main producer for the Marino Infantry collective operating out of Baltimore. He has produced an astonishing amount of YG Addie (A$AP Ant)’s newest material being his go to producer since 2017. He has also worked with artists like Silkmoney, A$AP Rocky, Tay K, Supa Bwe, Michael Christmas, Da$h and ICYTWAT.

LordFubu is also one of the most active producers on social media, posting cool anime edits to his beats, reviewing the many pairs of shoes that he owns or comes across, and going live on his instagram and chefin up right before his followers eyes. He’s really just a cool dude who makes smooth ass beats.

Songs produced by LordFubu to listen to:

“A$AP Ant feat Hoodrich Pablo Juan - Diamond Dust,” “A$AP Rocky - Nights like this,” “Divine Council - Dirtbags in Distress”

Cheecho

@AyeeCheecho

Cheecho, from D.C. or PG county, is probably the hardest producer out of the DMV area. His 808s hit harder than all other producers’ in the game, and his drum patterns just crank. Listening to his music feels like you’re experiencing an earthquake while in the middle of a shoot out.

Cheecho has produced for many upcoming rappers including Q da Fool, Hood Rich Pablo Juan, Goonew, Lil Dude, Big Flock, Slime Sito, Xanman (Free Xan), MoneyMarr and Baby Ahk (RIP). He has played a huge role in developing the sound coming out of the DMV area that is quickly taking over the general rap game. His production has become a staple of that sound, with almost every popping artist from the area having a song with Cheecho in the early stages of their career. Essentially, you can literally get any random person from Maryland to spit over a Cheecho beat and it’s gonna crank by default.

Songs by Cheecho to listen to:

“Q da Fool - Trap Shit,” “Lil Dude & Goonew - HunnitBandJugg,” “Slime Sito - Blanco,” “Goonew - Bag”

Noir Brent (BrentRambo)

@BRENTR4MBO

Noir Brent, from Chicago, Illinois, has some of the most lit production out there. Acquiring the most randomest sounds he can find and mixing them together over some crazy 808 and drum patterns, along with his tag that comes from an old viral meme, Brent makes every one of his beats noticeable and distinct. Noir Brent, and his frequent producer collaborator Uglyfriend, have mastered this weird production. His beats sound like a computer being microwaved, with all of its parts going haywire and making the wildest digital sounds that loop perfectly over sporadic drums and 808s.

Brent has been active since 2015 and has produced for almost every relevant “Soundcloud rapper” including Lucki, Lil Pump, Smokepurrp, Famous Dex, Madeintyo, Lil Yachty, Rich The Kid, Yung Bans, Trippie Redd, Chxpo, Warhol.ss and Nolanberollin. Brent has proven himself as one of the most unique producers of our time, and more people in the game are noticing, if they didn’t already. Brent is another producer whose really active on social media, becoming one of the most reliable meme plugs in the rap game, even though he’s toned down his meme related content as of late. He’s got some bars too. But yeah, Noir Brent’s music is beyond wild and always slaps when you listen to it.

Songs produced by Noir Brent to listen to:

“Warhol.SS -  boof!,” “Lil Xelly & Noir Brent- Started, Xrr!,” “Famous Dex feat Madeintyo - With yo B!tch,” “Noir Brent - WhutShutUp”
