its so frustrating how a lot of scu fans cant handle other sonic fans not having the exact same taste in sonic media that they do. like i feel like you can say something negative about literally any other sonic media on here and people generally wouldnt care that much but the second you say anything less than positive about the movies people start getting all weird about it and trying to argue with you ive had it happen to me and seen it happen to others as well .... like the sonic franchise is very big and has many different media types and writing styles not everyone is going to uncritically love everything. get over it ? im not trying to be mean but idk what else to tell you

Random fuzziness/blendiness among the Sides is great to me. (Because there's a lot of fuzziness in labeling features of the psyche when ya go past the brass tacks. Reflective of how reality tends to wriggle at labels/categories, when under enough scrutiny.)

Like. I feel like the whole getting decapitated on "it's a small world" tangent Logan had in AA was totally colored by Remus's influence.

No one is gonna convince me otherwise on that one.

a quick helpful reference guide:

Children's books - Target demographic is generally up to like age 10 - basically elementary school and below, for us Americans.

Middle-grade books - Target demographic is approximately middle schoolers (ages 11-15).

YA (Young Adult) - Target demographic is about 15-20ish year olds, so high schoolers and early college.

There is such thing as "upper middle-grade books" (targeted more towards the upper range of middle grade, so middle schoolers going into high school) and other such more specific intended target demographic age ranges within those groupings.

What these ranges mean is that the books differ in how they present subject matter to be appropriate to the intended audience demographic. Obviously, books geared towards younger kids are going to be shorter, use simpler language, and present concepts in ways that are easier to understand for younger children. As the target age demographic increases, the length, word choice, and presentation of topics will become more complex. The actual subject matter within the book itself is unrelated to this classification system for the most part - the books are graded on what's presumed appropriate for that age-range in terms of how children learn and their presumed literacy and reading comprehension at that age, rather than the topic itself.

Rick Riordan is a middle-grade author, and his books are usually middle-grade - including the entirety of the Riordanverse and Daughter of the Deep. The only exception is The Sun And The Star, which is loosely either upper middle-grade or YA, as Mark Oshiro is a YA author and co-authored it.

I like them a lot

Really I just wanted to play around with more dynamic poses. Parts of the anatomy may be off, but it at least gets across some aspect of intimacy and has a fun composition.

It’s loosely based on the dream in the Dionysiaca that Dionysos has about Ampelos, but it’s not exact depiction. I really love that passage. Nonnus depicts Dionysos with utter devotion to Ampelos. Imagine praying to the most powerful god, your father, and saying your boyfriend is hotter than his. Crazy. I’d suggest reading book 10 (albeit with the full awareness that Ovid’s work is more connected to the actual religion and stories than a 5th century Christian Greek living in Roman occupied Egypt. And ovid isn’t Greek. Ovid also depicts a variation of the Ampelos story, but it’s extremely different. Cool how stories change among different times and places!)

anyways it’s been awhile since I last made a piece with Ampelos and I very much need to remedy that. Made a few small changes to his design but you can’t really see it lol. Happy pride

I just don't understand why a horror film was up for nomination under the category of musical/comedy. It's like they knew horror goes overlooked and snubbed and they were like "Demi we're gonna get you that GG no matter what girl we got you". And then they went and gave 4 awards to Emilia Perez. Awards are sooo unserious and people are mad about wins and loses for the wrong reasons.

idk how much you know about bio anthropology so pardon me, but afaik neanderthals are more commonly accepted by the anthropology community as being a subspecies of homo sapiens! we're all the same guys!!! :-D

[fwiw there are also at least a handful of other extinct human subspecies that we know only a little about due to having minimal remains of them]

I mean, if Svante Paabo, THE foremost human genetics anthropologist, says "this is stupid to argue about", I doubt it's that common a belief among anthropologists? Maybe I'm appealing to authority too much though

Clamor about "idealism" is a red herring. It is one thing to say (absurdly) that we make objects by using words and something quite different to say that we do not know how to find a way of describing an enduring matrix of past and future inquiry into nature except in our own terms — thereby begging the question against "alternative conceptual schemes." Almost no one wishes to say the former. To say the latter is, when disjoined from scary rhetoric about "losing touch with the world," just a way of saying that our present views about nature are our only guide in talking about the relation between nature and our words.
