@amtrak-official, I’m so sorry no one has told you yet.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons should already be your favorite game! Not only can you dress up your own character, and buy, decorate, and TARDIS a house, but…
There’s no travel by cars!
Only boats and water planes!
Make paths all over your island!
Get the DLC and you can design homes for over 500 characters not on your island! (And eventually you can remodel your neighbors’ houses too)
You can do custom designs to make all sorts of things, including…
TRAINS
Also, I will be your friend and grace you with money and fruit and recipes if you do manage to get ACNH. I stan hard for public transit and having a carless world. 😘
They should make a game where you design characters and then decorate houses for them
#amtrak#animal crossing#animal crossing new horizons#trains#i like trains#public transit#bikes are better#walkable cities#can’t find creators; would love to credit#TARDIS a house#i’m serious#there’s businesses and organizations that have played ACNH as marketing

For the record, unless you were in a classroom for a club or team project, you definitely ate outside at my middle and high school. My main group hung out by a dugout and played Twister most days!
i feel like high school/middle school sitcoms set the unrealistic expectation of being able to have lunch time outside

It’s Analysis Friday about precisely why Hazbin Hotel is such a stand out.
But first - this is probably my last Hazbin Hotel-related analysis until the next season; give me asks during this long dry spell!
Why on this specific topic? Because I’m tired.
Y’all.
Listen.
I’m all for subjectivity. People can just like or dislike things regardless of quality. Heck, I know Helluva Boss is part of the Hazbin world, but it gives me too much cringe and vicarious embarrassment to handle.
(Yeah, I’m weird. I know)
But I keep hearing people say Hazbin Hotel is mid or just relying on hype.
Those are fighting words!
We are getting quality on par with Disney movies for a tv series!
That’s crazy! Let’s break it down.
Musical numbers
Talented singers play the main crew. Stephanie Beatrix plays Mirabel Madrigal, Kimiko plays Izzy, etc.
There were 2 songs per episode! And because it is truly perfect for a musical, we even get thematic reprises and callbacks!
Does anyone recall when similar things have happened in animation? MLP:FiM had a glorious episode that was ALL musical with a reprise. That’s all I have at this scale outside of Disney.
Characters
I’ve always known Vivzie to put thought into her work, and this shines through so well in Hazbin.
Lucifer’s depression is similar to my own
Angel’s gradual changes and struggles are realistic
Charlie’s breed of passion is the same as mine in my career
Alastor’s extremely manipulative yet we all love him
Velvette had one of the best formal character intros I’ve seen in a long time
Hazbin Hotel works really hard to get away from stereotypes, and dives in past superficial traits.
Also, we get things like Valentino sounding like he’s squeaking because moths squeak. We don’t need these things!
Animation
You know what else we don’t need?
Airplane arms!
Complicated dance moves!
Cute leg swishies with cuter sound effects?
Every second you see is 10+ frames traditionally. (Idk the studio’s technical details). That’s wild to add in these complicated extra details! And they flow so nicely! This level of quality for 2D (and honestly 3D too most of the time) is unheard of in the West nowadays.
And on that, western adult animated shows typically are so poorly made, especially in the art. Even the few I have seen that have okay stories to tell absolutely stink in terms of visuals and movement.
Story
Yeah, this is the biggest weakness Hazbin Hotel has, no doubt. The story is actually an incredible premise, and truly done pretty well within the awful time constraints. I think everyone is valid in saying it was far too fast! Hopefully we get more (or longer) episodes in upcoming seasons.
But at the same time, this is also the nature of musicals. If you think this is fast, don’t watch the Les Miserables musical where everyone only sings. Idk why, but singing the entire time makes everything seem like you’re in a race car on autopilot.
Don’t forget; the symbolism just drips out of the screen in this show. The fact that I could still do more analyses even now is a testament to that with all the content I have done since it aired. Vivienne goes hard on the details.
But put yourself in Vivzie’s shoes. You do the impossible, shot for the moon while hoping for maybe the top of a 5-story building, and you were offered the stars. Your project has been a part of who you are before you even went to university, and a major company gives you a way to bring it to life? Why wouldn’t you settle for this good of a deal?
Innovation
People do not bring up often enough that Vivienne broke a glass ceiling separate from that of gender. She showed that YouTube animations can be taken seriously, and even be aired.
In this age, the Saturday morning cartoon blocks I grew up with no longer exist. There were tons of great shows, and I could talk with other kids about it. Nestled within these weekends were shows that ran short pilot episodes for potential series. The last time I saw one was Adventure Time’s pilot.
It’s been a whiiiiiiile.
So having a cutesy little indie pilot animation amongst thousands on YouTube be such high quality and get a mainstream platform? Spindlehorse made history!
Moreso, Helluva Boss is also demonstrating the capacity of indie studios like never before - and what may pave the way for the future of animation too.
Out of all the animated series running on YouTube, Glitch is the only creator who does 3D that I am aware of. Even Glitch’s work has only started within the past few years, ie after Vivienne managed the impossible.
So please, stop complaining about subjective parts so much. Hazbin Hotel objectively has some of the highest craftsmanship in western animation.
We are blessed that Vivienne’s dream has come true in such a glorious manner. When I discovered her back in 2012, I couldn’t have guessed the pilot would be so successful, nor that it would change what was possible for animation!

Literally so glad I am not alone! I love The Good Place and Hazbin Hotel so much for honestly questioning the binary of traditional Christian heaven and hell.
Is it a little raunchy? Yes. But if other members can unabashedly watch mindless, crude adult animations like Family Guy, I can watch one that has story, theme, Broadway tunes, smooth animation, and character development.
(also, HH is so meme-y and my ADHD gets a lot of dopamine from making and finding HH memes!)
as a mormon, i love hazbin hotel so much bc it just epitomizes why the traditional idea of heaven an hell makes no sense.
my byu religion teacher asked us, if its possible to improve to higher kingdoms of glory (levels of heaven), does that mean that it's possible to go backwards, too? all i could think of was adam and laughed

A Home Where the Spirit of the Lord Dwells - President Eyring, April 2019 General Conference
Love this talk! The full, contextualized quote:
You will find some of your greatest joys in your efforts to make your home a place of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a place that is permeated with love, the pure love of Christ. The Restoration of the gospel started with a humble question pondered in a humble home, and it can continue in each of our homes as we continue to establish and practice gospel principles there. This has been my hope and my deepest desire since I was a little boy. You have all had glimpses of such homes. Many of you have, with the Lord’s help, created them.
Some have tried with full heart for that blessing, yet it has not been granted. My promise to you is one that a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles once made to me. I had said to him that because of choices some in our extended family had made, I doubted that we could be together in the world to come. He said, as well as I can remember, “You are worrying about the wrong problem. You just live worthy of the celestial kingdom, and the family arrangements will be more wonderful than you can imagine.”
does anyone have that quote that was like "family arrangements in the celestial kingdom may surprise us"? I can't find it for the life of me

In real life, I met 2 alternative versions of me, and in both cases we shared a single brain cell.
The first person hated my guts for existing
The other person and I vibe HARD off each other all day.
I know Short Duck Daddy and Deer Troll Daddy are on the hate side, but I love the idea of them accepting how similar they are and being a dastardly dad joke duo!
Can we get less out of character romantic radioapple and more they both like dad jokes and are insane friends radioapple

K, so at first yesterday I thought the boop thing was a weird new feature, but…
WHEN WAS SOMEONE GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT GAMES ON TUMBLR??
Now I need to use my finely-honed career skills and some good old test runs to make games on here. So many possibilities!
i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

General Conference is a great way to get back! I often listen to podcasts at work, while doing chores, even playing games. You don’t have to be formal and sit in the living room and take notes.
Idk where I learned this, but it’s stuck throughout my life since:
Sometimes it’s our turn to catch people when they fall, and sometimes it’s our turn to be caught.
I always reminded my Grumpy Friend in YSA that maybe, they were coming to the church thing today because someone would need them. It just so happened that often they befriended the person in your similar situation.
If you go back, and keep going, you’ll find your people. It may take a few months to wade through and find each other. But even in the suckiest Mormon Bubble ward where the RS President waged war against me (idk why btw), I still found a small group of friends.
Heck, one church acquaintance became my bestie after six years of just being Facebook friends, when I helped her avoid homelessness. I felt so silly after we became friends, that we hadn’t sooner. Catching her at that moment was the catalyst.
And another church friend happened when I begged to be let into an apartment hot tub because I hadn’t gotten my key yet and went on a 10-mile hike that day that was supposed to be 2 miles. She caught me that time!
Anyway.
And even if you don’t find someone? You already have Christ ready to catch you. He knows your desires, and fears about it. Taking the plunge to restart something is hard, but keep your eyes on the Gospel, and the nice social parts should come with time.
I don’t know if any of this will help you, but you’re not alone in this struggle. Not enough active members think about the invisible apprehensions to coming back even if you yearn for it. It’s similar to my issues with going back to soccer after I had to give it up in high school.
(except, church is nice and doesn’t give you weird meniscus issues)
I haven't been able to follow general conference in April for a couple of years now
I haven't even been able to go to church really
I accidentally became less active when I didn't want to. It was something I never wanted to happen and it was unavoidable.
I haven't been to the temple in 4 years and my temple recommend expired around that time too. Never renewed it.
I miss it. I miss the temple and refusing to go to 90% of the activities organized by the ward but still being asked every single time. I miss groaning whenever the too-talkative elderly member stopped me for a chat when I was in a hurry only for them to always end up telling me a funny story.
The ward has grown so much these past 4 years and I know nobody in there. Aside from the 10 people I talked to most often, I don't remember anyone's name and I don't know the face of any of the new members, let alone their names.
I miss it all and I don't know how to go back

PSA, don’t be rude about sounds in public spaces!
It’s not just annoying that someone else has to listen to your TikTok feed or a phone call. Yours truly has weird, crazy sensitive hearing. The normal sounds in a setting can already make it hard for me to understand the people right next to me, even with noise-dampening tech. Please be considerate and don’t add to the chaos.
i'm literally begging people to relearn how to use earbuds and headphones. i don't wanna hear your fucking tiktok while im waiting for my flight.

It’s Analysis Friday! Who’s seen Wonka? I love that it keeps to the original film’s spirit. There’s so many delicious connections to the book and both movie adaptations. Let’s gooooo
Overall, this musical prequel has really hit home by creating many parallels to Charlie. Some striking ones:
Wonka shares his chocolate (his mom’s homemade one) with his found family; Charlie shares with his family.
The Chocolate Cartel is a mirroring of the four bratty children Charlie has to compete against.
Wonka and Charlie were both in poor families and received chocolate once a year
Both are big dreamers
I also love that many small touches add to the depth seen in earlier movies:
The 5 people who help him get his business started inspired him to have 5 golden tickets when searching for an heir.
The golden ticket itself was inspired by a message Wonka’s mom wrote on some gold leaf inside her chocolate’s wrapper
Wonka lived in a house boat as a kid, which explains the chocolate river and the boat.
He got the crazy long fine print on a contract from Mrs. Scrubbit
And finally, the most heart-warming: “the man who suddenly got everything he wanted lived happily ever after”. Wonka makes this happen for Noodle, and does it again for Charlie.
