titaniumgavel asked:

I can prove with a single sentence from the 'bible' that's absolute bunk and has no real relation to the writing of the show: "

✓ At all time, we must feel empathy with Marinette/Ladybug, understand and emotionally feel what she’s going through."

Oops, you’re right.

Everybody go home, this bible is a phony!

Anonymous asked:

Which episode synopsis disgusts you?

“Derision” with Marinette having panic attacks. I think it’s disgusting because other parts of the bible make it clear that knowing the root of the issue doesn’t really help at all.

Essentially, it looks like they’re going to use this for propping up Adrien for his “cutting off Chloe for good” moment while continuing to make fun of Marinette for what they literally call “trauma” in the bible.

And on the incredibly slim chance that they somehow stop humiliating Marinette after this (which it doesn’t look like judging from other summaries), then they’ll use the titular akuma (Dark Humor) and overall plot to essentially guilt us for ever laughing at Marinette’s misery (we never get but you get the point), as if everything they’d done to her up until now was intentionally framed the way it was for this moment.

Basically, no matter what happens, it’s not going to be good.

Anonymous asked:

ah, of course, let's give Marinette more unnecessary, never mentioned before this point, past trauma and add sudden pAnIc aTtAcKs for the sake of making her miserable. because, Of Course. (as if they didn't already make light of anxiety, they gotta come after panic attacks too and continuity will not apply so they will "resolve the issue" within one episode, I want to throw metaphorical hands)

Remember that one time where Astruc promoted/complimented someone’s masterpost about mental health in Miraculous (one post inside being about Marinette having ADHD), which gave off this feeling that Astruc’s been making a neurodivergent girl the punchline of every joke?

Feeling something extremely similar right now to what I was back then.

YASASHII NO DE

HE CAME IN 20 PULLS……………….. ……… ….. …. . … …. .. .. . . … . .. . .. . . . TRULY YASaSHii OF YOu, GOOD SiR 😭

***Crowley Groovy, chibi sprite, lesson lines, and vignette spoilers below the cut!***

Unfortunately, we do not get any more details on his profile. It’s the same as the profile he had before the update. Age and birthplace unknown, 185 cm tall, favorite food is wild game, and his hobby is vacationing.

SDFHEGYOGYFQEN;jkhaCWIDODB A LOT OF CROWLEY'S LINES ARE VERY CHILDISH OR GOOFY... Like he has one where he complains about Grim eating his snacks, tells on students who are sleeping in class, and gets distracted by shiny objects (which, I guess, is par for the course for a crow).

Crowley cannot attend Alchemy class and does not have Chats. His Buddies are Deuce, Vil, and Grim (with Grim being his Duo Magic partner). Deuce and Vil are interesting choices, I wonder why those two in particular... (Some friends and I were memeing earlier about how "all those characters have single parents so Crowley must be a single parent" and, "Vil is the Evil Queen and Meleanor is a princess of evil", etc.) Crowley can, however, attend the other lessons and it’s every bit as awkward as you think it is. (He has a pre-lesson line where he expresses surprise taht he has to do homework 🤡)

THE CROWLEY DOPPLEGANGER ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE 💀 He can just straight up run into a clone of himself during lessons… THE DEVS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, they even goofily have Crowley say, “Oh! Hello, me!” while the other Crowley is in class for the special lesson… THEY KNEW HOW DUMB THIS WOULD BE 😭 (The dialogue states the Crowley that barges into class is a magical projection…?)

Here are some of his chibi sprites, as well as his Groovy candy. Crowley is not only very yasashii, but also very cute!!

He does, in fact, have vignettes but they are unvoiced. The first part is him running an assembly with the dorm leaders present. Crowley discusses the health of an adolescent apple tree in the school's courtyard, and no one seems to be interested in his speech. Malleus barges in late and, in a fit of anger at having not been invited, starts unleashing lightning. Wow, just like how Meleanor shoots lightning at Lilia... Like husband, like wife/j Everyone retires to their dorms, leaving Crowley to deal with an upset Malleus. The second part features Crowley having lunch with the other staff members (Sam included!). Each staff member is eating something different (Vargas is of course having eggs), and Crowley is revealed to have a great appetite in spite of his age. Crewel and Trein wonder how many decades old Crowley is, since he was apparently still headmaster when Crewel was a student and when Trein started teaching at NRC. Finally, Crowley is walking down main street and spots Yuu, Grim, and some mob students skipping class… so he uses his Lash of Love to discipline them! He binds everyone together and proceeds to drag them back to class. (It was surprising, we haven’t seen the Lash of Love since like… what, the prologue? I almost forgot about it.) Crowley alludes to the fact that even though the students joke about him, he is actually a very powerful mage that shouldn't be taken lightly, you know?? The vignettes end with Crowley referring to his students as "apple trees" that he is nourishing and watching over as they grow, which rounds us nicely back to the apple tree he mentioned in his first vignette.

BUT ANYWay HEREmS thE GROOviY in JUICy DETAIL INkjoW YOU WERE ALL WAiTING FOR

It’s so pretty AaAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaAaaAHHHHH 🥺 His grotesquely detailed hand reaching out to the viewer, who appears to be awaking from within a coffin… and do I have to mention the parallel between Crowley here and the mysterious hand that is offered to us in the mirror at the very beginning of the game????? Which could imply that Crowley is beckoning/summoning us into another world... The dim room, light spilling onto the Mirror of Darkness… So atmospheric!! If Crowley knows how to do one thing well and consistently, it’s drama~ The Groovy totally reminds me a lot of the prologue when Crowley tells Yuu to go before the mirror to get sorted. Omg guys... He's posted like Masquerade Malleus/j

One detail I super appreciate in this illustration is that you can see the dorm leaders in the background! If you squint, you’ll realize that there are 5 of them posing exactly like how they are in the following promotional artwork:

The one without a matching pose is Idia, who is present via his tablet. Though… I feel like we’re forgetting something 🤔 … Eh, I’m sure it’s nothing, nothing at allllllllll~

Kids understood Miraculous better than most of the adults MLB fans out there. This says something about the mentality of the fandom.

@staff what the fuck?

Why in the hell would you change mobile notifications so that when you select them you only go to one post instead of the whole blog starting from the latest post?

Who would want this?

I hope this is just a mistake/glitch/bug, because if intentional it's really stupid

You need to fix this, yesterday

Introducing the Jekyll Estate staff

|

- Mrs. Jessica ‘Harpy’ Harpshire is Jekyll’s tightly wound and stiff-lipped housekeeper. Hired shortly after Poole, Mrs. Harpshire has been well acquainted with the Jekyll family since Henry’s boyhood. She has seen it all, and subsequently knows how to keep things in order… even without the presence of her beloved husband John. Deemed ‘the Harpy’ by Bradshaw, she is respected and feared by nearly all of the staff (Poole being the only exception).

- Mr. Steven Poole is the eldest and most tenured member of the staff. Poole has performed many roles within the house over his twenty years of service as head butler and valet to Dr. Jekyll and his father. Loyal to a fault, Poole will see to it that his master’s house and reputation is kept in perfect condition, come any trial that may arise.

- Mrs. Lillian Davies is Jekyll’s cook and head laundress. After severely injuring her leg in an east end wash house, Mrs. Davies found herself and her three children in desperate need for work and shelter. Enter Dr. Jekyll. When she is not in the kitchen preparing for lavish dinner parties or ensuring the master does not starve himself to death, Mrs. Davies spends her time instilling her values of hard work and integrity to her children.

- Mr. Niles Bradshaw serves as Jekyll’s footman and unofficial jester (much to everyone’s dismay). Jovial and charismatic, Bradshaw ensures that the house is never entirely quiet. His good looks are readily used to incite the attention of any woman he encounters, but unfortunately for him, never quite seem to catch the eye of the one person he actually wants to notice him…

- Ms. Valentine Davies is the youngest member of the staff at 15 years old, but her age is hardly noticed in the wake of her shining character and determination. After working several years under her mother’s tutorage as a scullery maid, Valentine worked herself through the ranks to become one of Jekyll’s housemaids. Kindhearted and empathic, Valentine is quick to endear herself to nearly everyone she encounters.

- Ms. Emily Waller is Jekyll’s infamously levelheaded chambermaid. Having come from several houses prior to working at No. 28 Leicester Sq, Emily has learned how to thrive in the cutthroat world of service, even if it is to her detriment. She is quiet, wise beyond her years, and knows far more than she would ever dare to say aloud, even to her friend and coworker Valentine.

In response to the antis crowing (in the Sylki tag no less) that the Sylki’s lost because a certain somebody thinks that shipping it is weird because they’re like the same person.

Who’s opinion should I take on this matter:

A- A producer of the show, who’s opinions on Sylki being a romance in both seasons appear to be shared by the show’s other producers and writing staff, and have been for two years.

B- An actress, who has no producing credits on the show, no writing credits, and acts like she’s 1.5 sheets to the wind at any given moment.

I’ll take option A, thanks!

#this is why I never pay attention to anything the actors say #unless they’re on the producing or writing staff #take their opinions with a grain of salt #get out of the Sylki tags antis!#you lost #we won #sylki #pro sylki #sylki is romantic

it’s always “harassment is bad” and “wishing violence/death upon people is terrible” until it’s someone y’all don’t like or think is Bad. then it’s “they deserve it” and “they can’t take a joke”

#moi #salt is salt #hot take ‘i want you to die a violent and painful death’ is not a very funny joke #and is a really really terrible way to convince someone to be on your side #like respectability politics is one thing.#but people getting upset when you flat out them you want them to die is not about respectability politics.#like yes there are issues that need to be fixed #and expressing desire for pain and suffering to be inflicted upon staff is—surprisingly—not helpful.#this really is not that wild of a concept.#if you want someone to help you…publicly wishing death upon them is counterproductive.#like y’all just have no fucking sense of diplomacy. you can tell someone why you’re upset without violent sentiments.#it is possible to be angry and unable to explain your thoughts clearly because you are so angry and STILL not make violent statements #learn some fucking self restraint good god #anyway.

What's happening with MAPPA ?

Their scheduling is simply terrible and its killing animators on the inside. Many big name animators are posting online how little of a time they are being given to work on the episode. I have seen one artist post how they only have 5 days (!) to draw a sequence. The Choso vs Yuji episode only finished post-production BARELY A DAY before it aired. It's insane.

Shibuya Arc is action-heavy and the expectations for the animation is high. Artists HAVE to deliver high quality work on the project because their reputation is on the line.

Some of the artists have been posting how hellish it is to work on MAPPA. The director of the last episode felt so bad about how "terrible" it is and apologized. Some have barely enough time to submit their sketches, in-between art, key frames, corrections, etc.

Now, for us, the episode is great. However, "sakuga" fans are more discerning and would see how its faltering in some parts. They can tell how the staff is struggling and are being forced to produce "subpar" results because of the 7 day production schedule.

*Sakuga = High quality Animation = 24 frames (drawings) per second

The staff takes great pride in their work. So, having to deliver subpar "sakuga" to audiences is horrible for their mentality and confidence. They do not want that to be their legacy - which is a big deal for them.

Think these episodes look great already? Had the animators have more time, they would have looked even better!

The fact that the staff can still make episodes look so good by sheer will and god-like drawing skills despite their schedule should be given a lot of respect and admiration.

Now, why haven't the staff been given more time?

It's because MAPPA is greedy. Not only is the studio producing JJK. They have other big projects going on alongside it: AOT, Vinland Saga, CSM. All of them had to look good. The staff have barely any time to breathe as they are treated like machines to deliver high quality animation season after season.

While CSM is being produced, the staff are already working on JJK 0 and then JJK S2 Hidden Inventory. It resulted with CSM's last few episodes being janky. JJK 0 was great and Hidden Inventory, obviously, was really polished (at the cost of Hell's Paradise being average imo tho).

Then we have Shibuya Arc. In all honesty, I wished they have delayed this a bit later. Maybe turned it into a winter season anime because again Shibuya Arc is:

Very very hyped. It HAS to look good and polished.

Lots of Action. Action is like the crowning jewel of any shonen anime and JJK has the reputation of being the best at delivering it. They CANNOT mess this up. *Cue PTSD to the insane complaints of the Toji vs Gojo Round 2 + Yuji vs Locust Curse episodes*

The solution should have been: Delay the anime so the animators can breathe and deliver their best which would make Shibuya Arc as polished, if not better, than Hidden Inventory.

Sadly, with MAPPA's insanity, it is impossible:

The staff are juggling so many high-tier projects. They have no room to "take their time" so to speak. They have to "GO! GO! GO!"

The "airtime" has already been reserved. Any delays would cost them losing a slot of airtime which meant the series MAY NOT completely be televised (which I think was the fate of ZOM100). Lost airtime means lost profit and MAPPA can't have that.

Fan anticipation. I wish I could lie about it but I just know some entitled assholes would harass the studio and the staff about animating Shibuya Arc ASAP. Fans can really put a lot of hype and pressure for JJK at the same time.

Now here are just my own opinion. But other factors may be:

4. MAPPA wants to capitalize Halloween. Just look at all the merch and collab events! All profits from those would go to the studio and not Gege. Gege's profit are JUST from the manga. Anime-related merch/products would be for the benefit of its manufacturers, studio, and shops only.

5. Timing things with the manga. Prime example: Gojo. (I am not too sure about this tho).

One reason I am excluding is the staff not working on the project because they may be busy with something else. JJK is a huge! New animators would love to have that as part of their portfolio. Big names in the industry would have wanted to work on it too because of the challenge it poses and their love for the manga series or animation in general as well.

TL;DR: It's all MAPPA's fault and not the staff. The studio wanted everything out of greediness while the animators just want to bring out their very best at their own pace.

#i'm so sorry that this became really long #but this is the gist of it i think #i may have missed or mixed up a few things #i'll clarify further when i have more time #but yeah... MAPPA is just too greedy and the animators suffer for it #hence why i am now hesitating about getting the blu-rays #blu-rays would have the most polished version of the animators' work and i wanna see them #but i would be lining the pockets of the higher-ups of the studio at the same time #i'm torn because i want to show appreciation of the staff but at the cost of inadvertently supporting MAPPA's terrible business practices #it is also the main reason why i have burning hatred for assholes who complain about 'wrong angles' or 'art style ugly' or 'staff used AI'#the animators are practically killing themselves to entertain us #the least we could do is appreciate them and find a way to alleviate their stress with kind words #instead of putting salt on their wounds with ignorant and entitled complaints #again sorry if this became really long #thanks for the ask

ngl i usually dont have problems with dash updates etc, i get used to it. but for the love of god the new one is just physically painful to use.

I already made a shitty edit of what i meant, but i wanted to improve now that im not fucking exhausted lmao

I am going to be critiquing the new UI, and comparing it to twt, and how poorly they pulled it off dont keep reading if u dont care/think im overreacting

and im not gonna sugar coat my opinion on it. please understand when u read.

Honestly its just bad, its a copy of twt, and I use twitter??? you'd think id have no trouble adjusting since ive used both since 2020. (tumblr first but ykno)

but it just feels totally wrong. the buttons are too small, compared to twitter's much larger ones, the change between the top bar with the post types vs the new +create button is just???

If it was about icons, you could make a form of hover to see what they do. but now it feels so much more painful to use. like i physically struggle to find shit on the new dash because tumblr decided to put shit in weird ass locations.

all the improvements supporters are talking about could have been done without messing with the whole site alignment.

(blogs censored cuz im digging into tumblr here like im not holding back and i dont want randoms being brought into smth)

This would have accomplished the exact same thing

(not perfect but i need to get my idea across.)

Id probably spread out the icons too, to get room for text. especially since theres room over there

AGAIN I DONT WANT IT TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THIS!! THIS IS JUST DEMONSTRATING WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

Or like this so that its even with the tumblr logo

Or hell, just make the upper ui look similar to the post ui where it extended the bar to add the text in.

like this.

(again i dont think this exact layout would be best but Im trying to show what i mean.)

Like I LIKED the explore update

I liked getting recommended blogs!

I even like radar n shit

But the new layout is objectively worse.

this was messing w muscle memory for no reason. and just making the whole site look bizzare

and its not even a GOOD twitter rip off.

Here is my biggest issues with the new ui

(not written but i have a problem with the fyp and shit being so high up, like it s at the same level as the logo)

Here's a direct overlay

The tiny icons is what really confuses me + the placement of the create button? like why????

the misaligned tumblr logo too. like really??? would that be copying too much??? they already had a pretty good ui??? just add the text to that????

Tumblr really wasnt that hard to use? most confusion could be fixed with text under.

anyways if tumblr REAALLLYY wanted to do this like desperately

everything on the right makes slightly more sense, given the fact tumblr has always had right side ui.

(please ignore the shitty parts, im just trying to get a point across not actually make a new ui lol)

Anyways,,, I may be overreacting but its really not the change that bothers me.

its how they changed it

also recent stuff i heard about tumblr recently is making me really not wanna be nice about this, at all.

Its just weird that in their path of adding the text they have removed other accessibility features they used to have.

and the fact that tagging a post with "epilepsy warning" puts it in the epilepsy tag is abysmal.

I kinda dont buy that this was for accessibility given tumblr's other actions.

Anyway i dont blame individual members of staff but cmon yall...

Hey mods!

How many years have yall been apart of AF?

Some of us go back to the old forum days. Others go back to the earlier days of the site. Our most "af baby" mod still goes all the way back to Sun/Moon or so. We've all been around a long time and have seen it all, to say the least. ♥

#artfight #art fight #artfight2023 #submission #we also have a lot of staff connections if that helps validate some of our claims at all lol #but still #take what we say with a grain of salt and use your own judgement always #maybe one or some of us IS current or former staff too....#you'll just never know~

The old dash was better. It was simpler and more compact, so I didn't feel like I wanted my brain to explode just so I could stop looking at it. It was easier to navigate (I needed help from a friend to even figure out where the hell they moved my drafts to).

And not only is the new dash ugly and, despite Tumblr staff's intentions, not particularly user-friendly (I legitimately believe it's less user-friendly than the old one, which I, as a user, can judge pretty darn well) they've altered the way my feed looks too. If I search a tag that I want to browse through, say for a ship I like, I can only see like two posts side by side instead of three. This means I can see less content and it takes longer to see.

Really irritated. These changes were not for the better.

#need a button to turn these changes off #I hate them #they're ugly #make my brain want to splatter #and they've made it a labyrinth to get to my damn drafts which I NEED TO POST #WHAT THE HELL WHERE THEY THINKING #I DON'T WANT TO PRESS ALL THOSE BUTTONS TO GET TO DRAFTS THAT USED TO TAKE ONE EASILY-FOUND BUTTON TO LOCATE #ARE THEY ACTUALLY TRYING TO DISCOURAGE ME FROM POSTING?#tumblr #Tumblr critical #Tumblr salt #Tumblr staff #listen up PLEASE #you've taken a perfectly good hellsite and screwed it up #Tumblr dash #tumblr dashboard #ANGY #martianbugsbunny opines #martianbugsbunny grumbles

Heh, just saw the new round for that AO3 ships poll, and this one made me stop and wish for a third option to eject them both out of the poll and into hell:

#a dash of salt #I never liked Ron and Hermione because I hate bickerships #I hate the SheRa one because its grand confession episode was beat for beat Sheith in The Black Paladins #and the SheRa staff were anti-leaning and pretending they were so much better than VLD #I'm basically voting against or abstaining in every poll with a Potter ship #unless they shock me and Harry/Hermione is in there
