roundabout being the yes pick for best 70s song feels whack. like I know it's because of jojo but I'm still kind of surprised it's not something off the yes album

like okay, my dad's favorite yes album from the era is fragile (I believe his absolute faves are the ones in the trevor rabin era), so from a sample size of two it's understandable to pull from there. it's a good, solid album.

but personally I think the folksier angle a lot of the yes album goes for is probably more accessible and probably a better pull for a "best 70s song" kind of poll. like if you reach for a 70s yes song everyone can agree on you get like, starship trooper or yours is no disgrace

well, and then on the other hand, I really like relayer, man. the gates of delirium is probably like my single favorite yes song, and sound chaser is a close second. but no fuckin way are either of those songs good in the way a "best 70s song" contender would have to be.

I have a question for people who fervently argue that Arya has no potential for politics but think that Sansa will be one of the main political characters, and I'm asking this seriously.

If Arya learning multiple languages, how to tell + detect lies, how to rule her face so she doesn't reveal her emotions, being able to blend into different situations, thinking quick on her feet, knowing the importance of gathering information, being someone who makes friends wherever she goes, convincing a FM to help free Northern prisoners and participating in a coup, etc. don't make Arya capable of participating in politics...what exactly is it that you think Sansa will be doing as a political figure?

I think one of the main things that could actually help the latest arcs be intresting is to have multiple antagonists and villains again

Arc 1: Tigerstar, Darkstripe, Brokenstar, Scourge, Longtail, Dustpelt, Leopardstar, Bluestar (after her breakdown), Blackfoot

Arc 2: Tigerstar (again), Stone Teller + Sharp Tooth, Mudclaw, Hawkfrost

Arc 3: Dark Forest residents (Tigerstar, Hawkfrost) Onestar, Sol, Berrynose, Breezepelt, Ashfur

Arc 4: Dark Forest residents (Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, Mapleshade, Darkstripe, Antpelt, etc) Breezepelt, Sol

Then the new arcs tend to only have one antagonist of note? For some reason?? And that’s supposed to carry SIX books??

Arc 5: Darktail (The Kin henchmen), Sleekwhisker, Juniperclaw (I guess?)

Arc 6: Ashfur, Rootspring’s bullies who disappear, Berrynose, Dark Forest residents (only at the end)

Arc 7: Curlfeather (dies book one), Splashtail (has forgettable henchmen), Berryheart

The sheer lack of antagonists and villains who stick around and actually do stuff has shrunk DRASTICALLY

I firmly believe this is a key part of why warrior cats is so boring lately, the conflict is too slow because they have to stretch one notable villain across six books or conflict is instantly resolved (which can take the form of disappearing or fixed in no time within the story)

(Or they have insanely stiff manufactured antagonists that don’t really make sense, such as Sparkpelt and Squirrelfight, who aren’t antagonists to me, because don’t really do anything to earn that title besides have the authors use them to be mean for unexplained reasons in a way that contradicts all previous canon)

I decided Calcinidae Bay needed a nice romantic restaurant for Valentine's Day, and so I present La Rose de la Rivière, or "Rose of the River". It's modern French fine dining. Bookings are essential.

The spacious indoor dining room, for parties of varying sizes (and significance).

The kitchen, notable for its windows which invite guests to observe the well-oiled machine of its dinner service, a little like the real-world French Laundry.

After dining, guests may move upstairs to Cupid's Bar and pair a digestif with some delightful conversation in one of its many intimate nooks.

And of course, since the Rose is famous for its views of the giant slab of floodfill blue river, there is ample outdoor seating when the weather is amenable.

Since this is Calcinidae Bay, this is, naturally, a shell challenge, with a little surprise -

Ta-dah! 💘 Isn't it the cutest? The original shell challenge is by RoseSkyPlays on the Gallery for The Sims 4 and I thought the little cupid heart shape was really sweet. I had fun figuring how to use it; the tip of the arrow is a very exclusive little windowed seating area in the bar, and the "tail" makes up the restaurant's sign.

Hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day however you choose to celebrate (or not)!

I have noticed that it’s been quite a while since you last made art for Gravity Falls. Naturally, you have all the freedom to do and make art of whatever you want: I am not complaining about this, and I still love your style and your art. I do have a question though: how do you feel about Gravity Falls (and Ford) as of now? Do you still like it, or have you simply “moved on”?

at the present moment, i've moved on. ~10 years ago i also moved on from baldur's gate, until last year when my enthusiasm returned (albeit greatly transformed from the 10 years i'd lived since then), so "moved on" isn't necessarily a forever thing

ALSO, like with just about everything about wyll in the full release version i m o, the way his interactions with mizora throughout the game were just sorta ported over without much tweaking to make them fit in with the new version of his character is so weird and clunky and just.... uncomfortable

the fact that mizora was mortal in the original version of the story was kind of an extremely important detail that not only wyll's entire character quest but also their entire relationship and history hinged on. the ea version of mizora was half-human, not a full devil, and according to dnd rules as i understand them, that means she would've had a regular human lifespan. (eta: yes, she's still called a cambion in the full version, but my issue is at some point between ea and full release, all the differences between cambions and devils apparently just up & vanished) so if ea mizora and ea wyll, who were around the same age, met when wyll was 17, that means they met when mizora was also somewhere in the range of her mid/late teens

there's obviously still an unhealthy power imbalance there with her being his patron and all, but there's a pretty big difference between a teenage boy being manipulated by an equally as young teenage girl into signing a pact vs a teenage boy being manipulated by a fully immortal & presumably-already-grown-at-the-time woman into signing himself into her service

and the flirty/sexual dialogue being left in makes this 100x worse. originally, mizora and wyll were explicitly in a romantic relationship that had just ended right before the game started (like literally right before. as in he told you that the nautiloid snatched them up WHILE he was in the middle of giving her his breakup speech (lmao)), but there is literally ZERO reason for the full release version of their relationship to have such a weirdly charged undertone to it??

you can't just take the dynamic of "toxic high school sweethearts who just had an insanely messy breakup 3 days ago after dating for 5+ years" and slap it onto "grownass woman who manipulated a teenage boy into signing his life away to her 5 years ago" with zero acknowledgement of the fact that that changes literally everything??

like sorry, this isn't just petty exes bickering anymore. this is now reading as nonstop sexual harassment, and to someone without the context of this happening due to a messyass rewrite (or even with it tbh), it's weird as fuck that some characters get entire arcs dedicated to unpacking the trauma that comes from being trapped in this exact dynamic, but with wyll, neither he nor the player ever get a chance to try to stop it or even really acknowledge the fact that it's happening in any significant way

the sloppiness of this whole rewrite is actually insane to me
