Remembering the time where I had the sudden urge to understand the McDonald’s lore/history and to write a paper about it

[mcelquotes]

The only thing that comes to mind, and please tell me if this is nothing, is Neon Grimacis Evangelion... and this would be a just shot for shot remake of Evangelion, but the angels would be McDonaldland characters in giant monstrous forms.

Hello, animatronic fans! Lots has been going on lately, huh? Well Do I Have Some Good News For You!

DO YOU find yourself indulging in content produced by Chuck E. Cheese’s? Creative Engineering, even? DO YOU find yourself wanting to discuss animatronic characters or headcanons? Wanting to share your art with a welcoming community of fellow animatronic enthusiasts? Wanting to keep up on THE LATEST CEC Entertainment news? Are you into silly lighthearted roleplays? Voice chatting with like-minded individuals over Pizza Robot music? Learning more about this interest, and similar silly restaurant/entertainment mascots? CEC showtape streams every Saturday (and often on Fridays as well)? Are you even, perhaps, a Furby or Teddy Ruxpin connoisseur? Hell, are you neurodivergent about the McDonaldland and Jack in the Box guys? The 90s incarnation of Geoffrey Giraffe? Have you so much as heard of Rocky of Peter Piper Pizza notoriety? IF NOT.

A Note on Style and Truisms

I see a lot of posts here discussing the merits of genres, tropes, and general writing advice: "advice for high fantasy magic system worldbuilding," "how to write enemies to lovers," "words to use instead of 'said,'" "how to write foreshadowing," "how to show and not tell," "why telling is okay, actually," "how to write a killer plot twist," etc.

Most of this advice is bullshit, which isn't to say it's wrong, just that it doesn't matter. (Any advice about avoiding "said" though is wrong. The word is fine, and you can use it pretty laissez-faire.) If you want to write genre fiction, which most of these posts are aimed towards, that's totally fine, but if you follow the advice found in these posts religiously, your prose and your story will suffer. Why is that?

A distinction should be drawn between prescriptivist and descriptivist uses of genre. The latter is genre applied to a writer's work. The writer likely isn't actively thinking too strictly about the genre they're writing in as they're drafting, and when they're done writing, it's up to the audience to define it with a genre. These stories are fluid, real, and are a genuine creative expression of the author's lived experience. We love descriptivist genre use.

But a lot of writing advice on here, and a lot of writing in general nowadays, uses genre as a prescription. Before you even start drafting, you read a thousand posts about low fantasy magic systems, worldbuilding tips on which color paint your fantasy race prefers to eat, how many drones should be in your science fiction epic, how long is too long for slow burn romance, etc. Don't get me wrong, these are fun questions to ask and think about, but their merit doesn't go much farther than that. This isn't writing advice as much as a conversation starter, and if taken as genuine advice, your prose and story will turn into fairly generic slop in the genre you read about.

You aren't the only one writing a high fantasy strict magic system epic. You aren't the only one writing your specific combination of fanfic keywords. You aren't the only writer who thought to combine fantasy and sci-fi. Every other writer is reading the same posts you're reading, and since we've all been raised on pretty much the same media canon, our stories are going to sound pretty much the same. It's all going to come out as relative genre fic slop. But why? When you take all this shibboleth as gospel, you aren't writing from your own experience with your own style--you're cobbling together a novel from a list of tropes. It's like forming a human with a list of character traits. It sounds good in theory, but practically, you miss something vital in what it means to be human, what it means to tell a story.

But how do you write a story without this advice? Well, you start writing. Very quickly, you figure out what works for you and what doesn't, how much "worldbuilding" you like, which tropes you naturally gravitate towards. You read a lot and incorporate the things you admire from your reading into your own work. This becomes your style. If you read too much hokey writing advice, your style will never develop. It will become the homogenous style of the genre fic slop factory. Don't let that happen! Write your own story, your genuine story, and then apply whatever genre labels may be applied to it.

Again, this isn't me trashing genre fic. Genre fic is great! I've published a novel of fairly genre-y realistic fiction, and I happily write grimdark McDonaldland fanfiction. I'm only saying the best genre fic didn't start with the writer asking himself, "How am I going to write the next big fantasy novel?" They didn't start with the author looking at blog posts about the most effective tropes to include in their narrative. The best stories are expressions of personal experience, of an individual's life. That should be what you write towards--not some platonic ideal of what a genre should be.

The same goes for writing advice. A lot of it is sound, but much of it is worthless, and some of it is actively toxic to the writing life (and figuring out which advice is in which category is another struggle that should be solved). For every "avoid adverbs when you can help it" (sound advice), there's another "stop using 'said' so much" (awful advice). And most advice falls somewhere in the middle (the semicolon debate is a huge chunk of the middle-ground advice). If you follow too much of this advice before your style has started to develop, it can stunt its growth. Maybe you love semicolons. I sure do! That may never reveal itself if you read too much about how semicolons are the devil.

TLDR popular writing advice very quickly becomes an echo chamber, and most of the advice is worthless or detrimental in developing your writing. A good general rule is to never take any advice about what to write too seriously.

McDonaldland adventures 🍟🍔✨ colored pencil piece on grey card stock

I don’t usually post pieces that I did for art class but I was super happy with how this came out! I spent a few weeks on it and had tons of fun drawing all these nostalgic characters.

This post is quite a few firsts for me- first time posting a colored pencil piece, first time posting something from art class, and somehow my first time drawing the classic McDonald’s characters. Seriously how have I never drawn them before?? Anywho I hope you all enjoy this fun art piece~!

[titleknown]

Given I've seen multiple people confused about this, I figured I should mention it: If someone manages to dredge up something from latent space that looks similar enough to your character/concepts while doing AI art, you can in fact sue them for plagarism.

Like, under current fair use laws, what is plagarism is determined by the similarities of the end product not the process. That's how collages that don't use CC/PD elements are protected by fair use, and for the sake of anyone who thinks they got hosed by someone specifically using AI in the future, what's considered malicious plagarism can be pretty broad as seen in cases like the whole McDonaldland vs HR Pufnstuff thing.

Reason I bring this up is because multiple people I saw thought that the legal status of AI art meant that, if they made something that looked exactly like one of their OCs due to their works being part of the training data, they could claim it as their own.

But that's simply not true, and I figured I might as well clarify that.

My favorite mascots besides the obvious (gestures vaguely to @avengerchuck ) are the main McDonaldland guys + Mac Tonight and Jack Box and Geoffrey the Giraffe but I also like the Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald and Ronald’s weird creepy dog named Sundae. Birdie IS my favorite character did you know I have an elaborate Geoffrey family headcanon that rationalizes the drastic changes in design and voice actor (we’re pretending the photorealistic giraffe ads did not happen okay). Did you know the Jack in the Box clown has three children with a human woman. The clown genes transferred over if you were wondering. Did you know that he (the Jack in the Box clown) was shown through official means hitting Ronald in the balls. He has also murdered people on air. Did you know that I could definitely write probably ten essays on this subject because its my favorite thing in the whole world
