Prompt 203
Another Hydra prompt! Because I am enjoying the designs I’ve made lol. And perhaps it’s a bit inspired by @radiance1 ‘s different dragon prompts too.
So they’ve succeeded! They’ve managed to combine their powers- with a bit of shapeshifting helped along by so many ghost allies- and become a giant duck-you dragon! Well, originally they were going to do something else, but they couldn’t agree on an animal, so dragon it was!
And how mighty they are! They’re giant, absolutely massive- dwarfing the couple of skyscrapers still in Amity. Damages via ghost attacks and general sparring made it where people really didn’t want to rebuild those types of buildings.
But anyway, dragon! Them! They’re absolutely stunning! And did they mention powerful? Because boy oh boy, are they powerful. The GIW’s guns do practically nothing against their combined might, and barriers shatter before them!
The uh, issue is that they erm… can’t turn back. Which is fine, they’ve all sort of outlived most of their generation- thank you possessions and ecto-contamination, it’s just a tiny bit of an adjustment. But really it’s not too bad, and someone needs to stop the GIW from trying to poke their heads into Amity. Like it’s been a solid couple of generations, it’s time to stop, thanks.
Actually they’ve been a bit quiet. Meh, that surely isn’t a problem. Probably. Honestly they’re all going to use the opportunity to sprawl out where the school yard once was, their favorite place to sun their scales. Huh. Usually more people are around now that they think about it- or really, as Paulina points out, sharpening her fangs on one of the rocks.
…
How long had they been sleeping, because it couldn’t have been that long. One of them was always awake, they slept in shifts after all! Yet there are things missing now as they patrol the skies, both Wes and Tucker pointing out specific buildings that the others didn’t particularly notice usually that now lay empty.
Hm.
Oh. That is a… strong barrier there. A really strong barrier actually. Pfft, they can take it! They’ve shredded every barrier together before- Ow.
…
Okay this might be a bit of a problem. Shit.
You want a general size reference? :P
#Dcxdp#Dpxdc#Prompts#The Class Pulls a Tiamat#The GIW have been working on a way to cage the Very Dangerous Ghost Dragon that just seemed to Appear one day according to their predecesso#Yes it’s been a good hundred years or so since the DP series happenings#Also yes they’re poly & sharing a body#They can talk telepathically & share some abilities or dozen#”Danny this is definitely all from your luck I swear” “It could also be Wes’ y’know” “Don’t drag me into this”#Big angry dragon king/queen (as Amity started calling them) throwing a fit at the barrier they can’t get through#Which gets some people’s attention both inside said barrier and outside it#This includes a few heroes and people who Should NOT have learned about a Giant Hydra

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.
ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol
#it was a weird class#it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow#I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy#and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess?#she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason#standing is a lot more tiring than walking#i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life#did not like the teacher tho#on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies)#which is very nice#but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it#like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now#and also kind of racist#she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person#and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner#im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist#she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist#she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately#like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all#also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once#also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips#she was like a walking russian stereotype lol#anyway heres some ink the artist lore

"During the French revolution, they thought... "During the revolution, they did..."
Wait. Stop. Pause. The French revolution is a thing that lasted 10 years. You cannot give any blanked statement about it as a whole, because there were so many things going on. Things generally common at one point were unheard of in another. To say anything about frev, you must specify these things:
1. When it's happening? (Not just a year; a specific month at least).
2. Where it's happening? (Paris? Near a battlefield? Somewhere else?)
3. Who is saying/doing this? (Different people had very different takes and tried to influence things in different ways).
4. (of course, should come as #0) How do we know/what is the source?
(This is half a joke post and not an instruction on how to interact here, lol. Just a reminder that we can't give blanket statements about revolution as a whole because so many things differed from month to month and place to place and person to person. The more I read about it, the more I realize it.)
#frev#french revolution#i don't even know if there are things to say about frev as a whole#was it a bourgeois revolution#was is a class struggle#was it liberal#was it proto socialist#idk man what year are we talking about and according to which participants

#shitpost#immunology#immunology shitposting#meme#mhc#b cell receptor#bcr crosslinking#this meme brought to you by my mom and I making fun of a question on a quiz I had for literature class#where one of the questions was ‘which of these is NOT a feature of the Greek underworld’#and I guess the professor just picked a random Greek sounding word but the specific word they picked was leukocyte#so we were pretending that leukocytes were in different literary traditions#and that morphed into talking about ‘immuno-christian values’ and I got inspired to throw this nonsense together

ik everyone and their mother has said this already but I appreciate how many episodes of puppet history focus on non-white stories and are both respectful and dont just focus on mass suffering at the hands of white people, and when they do have episodes involving that they still make sure to focus on the people fighting back and not just "oh this horrible thing was done, sad!"
Also I appreciate how Shane makes an effort to pronounce shit correctly, and to be respectful of people's cultures and spirituality, and to find lesser known stories from these cultures. It's always cool to go into the comments and see people who usually don't see their history or people acknowledged talking about how happy the episode made them.
#I hope he does an episode on ndn history I feel like it would heal the part of me who had to sit through 30000 white history teachers#all telling the same story#as good as it is to be in a time where colonization and native people get acknowledged beyond the basic “they were there and then we were!”#bs it's also like. ive had several times where ive had to step out in class bc my white teacher was talking about how white people#slaughtered ppl like me. in horrific horrific detail. some stories which still haunt me.#I know much of our history is soaked in tragedy but I would be happy to see a puppet history episode talking about what we did divorced fro#the white man or at least. what we did when we werent being betrayed and raped and murdered. yk. cause i feel like thats literally all#people know about us. its probably a reason why so many white americans think we're not around anymore haha#if I could commission a puppet history episode i'd commission one on ndn history tbh#sorry tags got ranty#puppet history#shane madej

Royalty send their kids to Aflea under the assumption that they will get good magic education while also teaching their kids how to be future rulers, completely unaware that all the staff are fucking cartoon characters who choose chaos every time.
#Palladium is brewing illegal poisons in his potions lab#Wizgiz just stole a tree bc he thought it would look nice in the dining hall#Griselda is comically annoyed all the time and carries a clipboard that she will periodically scribble notes down on which scares everyone#Faragonda is faragonda we all know that bitch keeps secrets for fun and probably pops up out of nowhere#DuFour probably has half the library in her classroom and spends most of class talking about nothing of relevance#winx#winx club#winx alfea#winx faragonda#winx palladium#winx wizgiz#winx griselda#this is canon btw. not a rewrite thing#.they all did this anyway the writers just never mentioned it#trust me

When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings
#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem#in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together#and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier#WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH#i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd#and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i#waves my hands around manically#for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins#in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone#and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control#one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings#that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded#and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all#like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need#to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level#AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING#anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have#and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh#yapping

still rotating him in my mind like a kebab. But racetrack’s wardrobe is so everything to me. Once again may routh please let me interview you for an in-depth analysis on costume design for every newsies clothing (yes even swifty’s vest which is Atrocious. It’s So Bad.) Racetrack’s undershirt being two sizes too big for him is so important to me and his gaudy vests that he has to hitch up to his pants? There’s so much bravado that begins and ends with how he presents himself as larger than life in favor of the odds he’s presented through shape. Even the parts we can’t see (ie his suspenders, pocketwatch) are properly coordinated to his outfits which implies he takes care to notice for little details that are incessant to other characters clothing.
#racetrack higgins#i love his stupid bow tie he doesn’t even tie on correctly#the only thing I’d complain is we should’ve gotten to see him with less wax in his hair#even though that’s also a main part of his character#which I could go into just that for hours#i won’t. but I could!#he’s a spiffy little guy#there’s also the argument of wealth and class here#which I Could Also Talk About for hours#that however intersects into more serious aspects of interacting with the media#one that I am not equipped for nor have the proper language to divulge#anyways. back to rotating him in my head.

i think i got accepted into the 2D animation class at my university #win #success #awesome
#talks#all of my other classes this semester are kind of boring. we kind of got the worst professors/teachers for every class too lmfao#our first semester teachers were so passionate about their job and now we only have teachers who have the personality of a cardboard box.#i really looked forward to illustration but our first seminar yesterday was a huge disappointment#and i'm lowkey trying not to have a crisis about it lol.... it's not even the class. it's the teacher & the way he chooses to teach us#which is just. sketching from real life. realistically. no room for creativity whatsoever. WE WONT EVEN HAVE A FINAL PROJECT#i'm mad about it because the other groups who had illustration last semester had assignments that sounded really fun#illustration class is the reason why i chose to study here in the first place.... and we got a teacher who doesn't gaf about it. grrrrr#anyways. i'm hyped about 2D animation!! it's the only class i really look forward to :D

It sounds like Joe and Ken focused on telling stories, stories that being stories focused on the world and characters they knew. While Pete's were more focused on delivering a message with story flavored wrapping.
This is very much the case, but the difference seems to go even deeper than that, to a fundamental difference in worldviews that affect how they approach story.
Episodes written by Joe Fallon and Ken Scarborough respect children as people. Children have been shaped by their experiences and have unique personalities. Children are curious and have brains--they are driven to explore new things and can draw conclusions from what they see and do. Children are already people who deserve respect, and like all of us, they're growing into different people as they learn new things and have more experiences. The child characters can thus be the drivers of their own stories and come to learn lessons for themselves. The child audience can relate to those characters, be drawn into the story, and learn what it's trying to teach without having every detail explicitly spelled out.
Episodes written by Peter Hirsch seem to approach children as people-in-training. They might have one or two personality traits, but instead of coming from and interacting with other elements of their background, they're just pasted on, like a sticker you can put on your Generic Child Prototype. These blank-slate children need to have knowledge poured into them so they can become Properly Educated Adults. So in his episodes, these child characters will go through their story with a question, and the adults--the real people--will tell them the information in great detail so these characters--and the watching audience--can go off into the world knowing what the writer has decided they need to know.
In Joe and Ken's episodes, flaws are funny, and can create funny conflicts that will teach the children better ways to approach problems. In Pete's episodes, flaws are horrible things that need to be pointed out, labeled, and sanded away, so these children can grow up into the perfect model of what a Good Adult should be. The first approach is engaging, and celebrates diversity of personality in a community, while the other becomes bland in the interests of shaping all the members of a community into the desired mold.
Comparing the two approaches provides a shockingly thorough lesson in how one should and should not approach writing and education. Story and character and message are all intertwined. Trying to force the message onto the story and characters makes for something bland and generic and unrealistic. Letting the characters shape the story and letting the story bring out the message makes for something much more unique, organic, engaging, and real. And yes, maybe I've come to this conclusion by spending far too much time thinking way too deeply about a bunch of shows for elementary-aged chlidren, but that doesn't mean it's not fascinating to see how, even within the same show, an writer's personality and approach to the audience can make such a vast difference in the quality of a story.
#answered asks#arthur#curious george#it has gotten to the point that i inspired the brother i usually talk to about these things#to google peter hirsch's biography#he couldn't find it#but we thought there has to be *some* explanation for why his work is the way it is#has he ever been outside a city?#has he ever left the east coast?#i didn't even get into the different approaches to class between the writers#joe and ken write episodes that happen in a world with working-class people#francine's family can't afford things the other kids can for instance#whereas in later arthur those real-world concerns are erased in favor of upper-middle-class discourse#i don't think i would have descended to this level of analysis except seeing all these people write for multiple shows#is really making it clear which elements come from the writer's personality regardless of the show#oh also the main post wasn't the place to mention this#but it's fascinating to see this message vs story thing applied to completely secular issues#because it drives home that it's not just the religion that makes some christian fiction so awkward#but how they approach it#message needs to come from story no matter what the message is#and you can have cringy preachy content even in completely secular works

forgive any incomprehensibility but the notion that the world can be cleanly split between the two immutable categories of 'the neurotypical' and 'the neurodiverse' ignores the reality that any person can at any point for any reason be arbitrarily 'diagnosed' by a 'professional' and shuttled between categories with no regard for the notions of 'accurate traits' or 'specific symptoms'. nice dichotomy what lies outside of it? you understand me?
#N posts stuff#i'm reading some old issues of 'Phoenix Rising' and a line in one of the articles really caught me#''we are questioning the very foundation of psychiatry which uses mental illness; which is often just behavior that is judged strange#by some usually conventional middle-class-standard of morality''#also thinking about that post i reblogged yesterday claiming that 'posture sway' is a Symptom of adhd like.#Embracing the pathologizing of average behaviors VS the like. weaponizing of diagnoses against 'undesirables'#idk am i making sense? lol#like people talk about this re: disability - the notion that anyone can become disabled at any time but that's usually in the context#of like. 'anyone is one bad accident away from being disabled' but Neurodiversity in particular does not even require that much#another Phoenix Rising tells the story of a woman who like. got a little sick at work and diagnosed as 'stress' and prescribed a#heavy tranquilizer that caused side effects no one had told her about; she got confused at her appointment and her subsequent#panic got her involuntarily committed as psychotic where they upped the medications and gave her ECT until the combo#caused so much brain damage that she seized and died. bc she threw up at work one day. the categories are not immutable and#the people who define them have agendas. who benefits from buying into this dichotomy? you understand what i'm saying?#anti psychiatry
