anyway so i'm doing a literature class right now that i'm really enjoying, and i love the professor for the most part, but he is dead set against bringing up disney movies in class. and by disney movies he means any animated movie ever. (given that disney owns a whole host of live action stuff now and he did not ever shut anyone down when they brought something up... as far as i remember? i don't think he has beef with live action movies. which. okay.)
i was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he just wanted to steer the class away from overly common comparisons or examples in media, but honestly? i felt like people were bringing up obscure stuff, popular stuff, other novels from the 19th century, TV shows from the '60s, modern movies: he didn't even have to enforce his rule more than once because nobody was even reaching for animated movies.
but then this one kid brought up puss in boots: the last wish (i forget why, but it was relevant enough) and the professor's like, "nope, no disney movies"
and i'm sitting there like oh. okay. first of all, that's dreamworks, and second of all, so you did actually just mean no animated movies point blank period. I kicked around the idea of "um, actually"ing him, but I didn't want to derail the class or be obnoxious. because the point wasn't so much that he wasn't distinguishing between animation studios, it was that why in the everloving heck would you just put a blanket ban on animated films. especially when the question is just something simple like "what other stories can you think of that have this trope?" and that is a whole 'nother discussion.
but then the kid. the kid who brought up puss in boots. he jokingly literally pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and was like, "um, actually, first of all it's dreamworks, not disney-"
and the professor kinda laughed and was like "okay, you know what i meant" (then why did you SAY disney movies. my guy)
and the kid laughed too and he was like "-i promise it's relevant though. can i just say it quickly?"
and the professor let him. so that was a win i guess. i wish i'd gotten the chance to tell that guy he was my hero though. he managed to do the obnoxious thing in a friendly way and kept me from combusting in my seat
#pickle pontificates#i get it. i get it i get it.#i think there's value in ''read a different book/watch a different movie''#but again. that does not mean there's inherently less value in animated films???#and certainly not less value than gilligan's island?#(i've seen gilligan's island. no hate to it but like. why are we acting like some family entertainment is inherently superior )#(like we're not even talking high art we're just discriminating between forms of pop culture now)#eh rant over i think

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through
#art#i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more#do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original#or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them#or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave#you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

Peace and love
#pink posts#i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged#i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit?#why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors#is it the textures they used? the brushes?#study them and try to put your spin on it#and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
#missed out on a whole year I could have skated at my local roller rink because I didn't want to go alone#and now it's closed and I won't ever get that year back. sometimes you gotta do it alone if you want to do something

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this#one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails#also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help#instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites#it's infuriating that it works so well#ramblings
