homesick

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

Zedd - Make You Say (feat. Maren Morris & BEAUZ)

You’ll miss the weeks the days the hours When all the loneliness kicks in You’ll buy them drinks and send them flowers But they won’t love you like I did

You’ll learn one day I’m one in a million Maybe in a billion And when it’s too late Oh I got a feelin You’ll be in your feelings

Go ahead, Walk away You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say Oh my god, Night and day You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say

We had some highs and lows And in betweens We could’ve stayed and worked it out You got your arms around her when you sleep But I’m the one you dream about

You’ll learn one day I’m one in a million Maybe in a billion And when it’s too late Oh I got a feelin You’ll be in your feelings

Go ahead, Walk away You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say Oh my god, Night and day You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say

Go ahead walk away Oh my god, night and day You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say

Go ahead walk away Oh my god, night and day You’re gonna miss the way I used to make you say

Another Husk screenshot redraw to keep my blog from going into the light. Also! I may or may not be participating in ArtFight this year (under the same username).

(That's not entirely me playing coy -- I'm not sure how active I'll be this year. Mostly planning on drawing friends' characters, but if I see any cool Lackadaisy / mayyybe Hazbin OCs, I'd love to draw them too (motivation permitting)!)

do you guys every think that maybe Bill never saw his parents faces?

I mean. It makes sense that he wouldn't be able to see them with his eye fixed on his front towards the stars. Do you think that maybe he only saw his mother face as she was burning alongside the world he lived in but never got to know?

Do you think he never saw them at all? Do you think that maybe. Just maybe he looks into the mirror and wonders if he even looks like them at all?

Maybe he had them described at one point or another and has vague ideas on what they looked like. Chances are that he wouldn't know what they looked like from the front like him. Maybe he wonders if he may have mixed up details over the years and has completely forgotten what they looked like as he slowly forgot details and desperately tried to replace them with something else theseus' ship style?

There’s a part in Spirit of Justice that confirms the defiant dragons named a fucking cactus after Apollo once Dhurke had to send him to the states because it was pointy and small (and I can’t find it because it’s an optional piece of dialogue that’s in none of the playthroughs online!!!)

But anyways hey capcom, who named the cactus?? Did Nahyuta grow up fucking nurturing and protecting that shitty cactus before leaving it behind with the rest of his flesh and blood family? Did he wake up at the tender age of fuck you and found out he didn’t have a brother anymore so he latched onto a fucking cactus instead? A cactus? He couldn’t even take care of a cactus right? A cactus? A cactus?
