Hmmmmm….. Ima have to go with cookies over cake. I get sick of a taste fast so I need small portions. As for thumb or pacifier , well I do enjoy the pacifier , I don’t always have it with me so I’m going to have to give that one to thumb
Commission for @silver-tongues-blog! Their character Lapis Lazuli… UBERFIED. Figured that a pony that wants to take over all the oceans would transform into something a little fishy, hence the Siren parts.
I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been
The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”
my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”
What if I made a deer named Donner who cannabilizes others?
i always laugh whenever we have to centrifuge bacteria because imagine you’re just chilling in some broth with your buds and then someone comes along and puts you in a tube and spins you at fucking 14,000 rpm
Every time I see a piss baby complaining about the ppg reboot all I think about is Lenny Baxter in the ppg episode “collect her”
It has shit animation and the most recent episode was a horrible, horrible trainwreck that the writers tried to pass off as a trans-positive message which, if taken as such, makes it even worse. Is this the hill you want to die on, my dude?
Every time I see a brat comparing legit criticism to the actions of “piss babies” all I see is Femme Fatale.
Hey, OP? Quite a lot of us that are against the reboot are women, including those of us that were teenage girls when the original series premiered. It was so popular with teens that–surprise!–they even sold shirts of it in our size. I likely still have mine somewhere.
You seem to be under the impression that the show is only “for” a certain demographic. Which demographic is that, if I may ask? Because I’m pretty sure it’s any demographic that brings in ratings. People who enjoyed or have an interest in the franchise ARE the target demographic, though the people behind it are also trying painfully hard to appeal to fans of shows like Steven Universe. This isn’t an 80’s cartoon–this is contemporary Cartoon Network. With company like Regular Show and Adventure Time, I’m pretty sure they’re damn well aware that older teens and adults enjoy cartoons.
Men choosing to watch a cartoon does not–nor will ever–“take it away” from anyone else. That’s some paranoid gatekeeping bullshit.
Bottom line: The animation looks like shit. The designs don’t have enough varying line widths, which makes them far less aesthetically appealing or dynamic (in fact, I own drawing books that highly discourage maintaining the same line width in an image, because the eye will not be drawn to anything in particular, and the image will look flat and lifeless). The most competent, intelligent female role model has been removed, presumably for being “too pretty”. What a great message to send to girls: You can’t be a leader and be pretty or sexy at the same time. They even went so far as to FLATTEN Ms. Keane’s chest. Imagine how that feels to women like me who are top heavy. It’s basically saying “Breasts are unclean things that people should never see or talk about”. None of the original voice actresses were asked back, but ALL of the male ones were, apparently to sell the show using “fresh, young faces”. Frankly, it seems insulting and misogynistic on the part of the casting director. The episode they so loudly touted as “tackling gender identity” actually turned out to be pretty fuckin’ transphobic. The girls have all been made into negative cookie-cutter stereotypes, and they’ve also had their powers weakened. It’s literally about little girls who are superheroes, but they’ve decided to make it about everything BESIDES that. If I wanted to see cliché-ridden, slice-of-life crap, I’d go watch a different show.
This steaming pile isn’t “empowering” to women or girls. It’s an EXTREMELY transparent grab towards our wallets. Literally their entire reason for the reboot is “GIRLS! They’re GIRLS! See how GIRL they are? Look at all this GIRL! GIIIIRRRRRLLLLLLL!!!!!”. That’s fucking insulting. It’s no better than the “GRRRL POWER!” bullshit that they tried to shove down our throats in the early 90’s by slapping it on everything from pencil cases to hair accessories.
I am sick and bloody tired of people trying to force-feed me diarrhea, and insist that it’s “good” for me. I’m sick of people producing half-ass content, and then expecting us to eat it up just because we identify as female. I’m tired of people dismissing valid criticism by crying “MISOGYNY!”, despite the product being poorly made to any rational outside observer.
If you want to be spoon-fed the animated equivalent of a pile of shit with glitter on it, be my guest. However, some of us actually have TASTE.
I want to make an infomercial where it’s not clear what the guy’s selling. Like he’s demonstrating how powerful this vacuum is by sucking up a bowling ball but then he starts showing you how strong the bowling ball is by dropping it on some knives, but then he’s showing how the knives haven’t been damaged at all by using them to cut through some shoes and it goes on and on for two hours then just loops back to the start while a number flashes on screen the whole time and if you call it it just echoes whatever you say back to you.
Person: mentally ill and disabled people are horrifying and scary

I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
