its actually insane how the sony pr team silenced the shamik moore stuff so fast

#

like nobody talks about it

#

other than the production being a mess like i cant imagine anybody from the first 2 movies would ever want to be associated with the project again

#

cause like he HAS to be in it

#

i guess they coukld recast but people would def be caught off guard

Uhm really sorry but can someone help me color in a thing on wplace? Like if you have an account or pixels left over uhm... pretty please

Gonna have to wait on recharge so I'll be back in a few hours

@tawdry seal@light granite heres the full piece

i did much more than i had to we will most likely not draw the entire thing lol

#

but its there if we want it!

final nova
#

Ill stop getting distracted and ill finally finish outlining the colors for charons hat LOL

#

finally got myself to finish the coins

#

we should leave any non-bought colors for my sister and friend to color in for charon
so black for example

they need to paint to level up

#

same with hypnos we can leave large areas with free color for them to paint in

#

low priority rn tho

#

@light granite is your wplace username Joey?
if not then we have a random person helping :D

#

oh theres another person named wittyscarf

#

and a guy named custard3unny

theres so many people helping!! :D

we will be doing that for the smoke though

#

the music industry’s best kept secret is that weezer is good actually

#

why didnt anyone tell me this

still schooner
#

...Is that a kept secret? Maybe I was in their main generational demographic but I don't think I know anyone who is familiar with Weezer who doesn't like them.

well theyre kind of a meme or joke now but i didnt realize theyre like Actually Good

yeah so every site ever

#

unfortunately true lmao speaking from 20 years of being terminally online, its just extremely common to hear, even back during the heyday of forums (i miss forums so bad tho)

#

a lot of people that seek moderator/admin type permissions, whether thats servers or games or sites or anything, do it from a place of wanting power and control, so thats why theres always a persistent issue with garbage moderation

#

and it doesnt help theres often a general public perception issue of that being exactly what those positions are, which, like. no. good moderators serve their community, not themselves or their admins

final nova
#

im just really bad at outlining without making mistakes lmao

tawdry seal
#

Leave it for now especially cause I'm waiting for refill but you should work on the colouring

final nova
#

colouring what

#

the art?

#

i did some line art of the scroll

#

and ive recolored some text and things we drew over using the colors that will be there in the end, in order to save on pixels instead of using transparent on them first lol

tawdry seal
#

Been doing the same

final nova
#

im makign a little cadence from crypt of the necrodancer at the top there

#

the goal of htis is to make people looking to make big pieces of art to go elsewhere

#

so if we need to move peoples art its easier

final nova
#

@tawdry seal@light granite Which character should i prepare next if yall are willing to make more with me

im thinking nyx

#

this gives me something to do between waiting for charges

#

gosh all of nyx's colors will be off though maybe and that will by annoying

sketched in 2021 and finished a couple of years later with painstaking accuracy to get 3 notes vs. one hour sketch this year that got over 5000 @steel lantern
scrolling through all my stuff, its samey but i guess that doesnt necessarily mean uncreative if art is already a creative endeavor in and of itself

#

i dont rlly compare myself to others anymore, and im not jealous, i just dont see myself at the same level. objectively

#

but looking at this i guess its 1. the popularity of the fanart im drawing and 2. maybe ppl enjoy this messy, more visceral style more

#

actually idk what counts as more creative and what counts as "better"

#

if its a simple portrait but it has interesting brushstrokes maybe its more compelling than a sistine chapel on my canvas that is just very rigid lines

#

like if the first drawing feels uncreative to me even though i think it turned out amazing. and the second one is the Creative one even if its as simple as can be and also a meme. what does that mean lol

It’s a small startup, I should be more understanding

The labubus

I’ve heard that name somewhere already

not labubus

So it’s just a… a toy?

Then why is everybody losing their crap over this ?

because it's a fad

Im getting old…

#

Ah
See - now here’s an explanation that makes more sense to me

#

Best Spider-Man btw

mild pelican
#

and here we are, several weeks ago i've seen a girl with labubu here, in the butt of the world.. I'm glad it's not popular enough here though, i don't want to witness another political rants on TV how evil West produces devil toys that makes russian kids violent, and how it's supposed to be prohibited immediately (and they will do it)

this gets increasingly more funny to me

#

this is for a one weekend only run of a sing along version btw

#

drop the full theatrical release, im dying to see what kind of numbers that brings in

glacial marten
#

I liked Mel to be clear

shut ermine
#

Ngl out of all those arcane points mentioned earlier id try to go against a few of them if only i still had a clear memory of what was going on

glacial marten
#

I’d rather they do her justice than off screen her for like 3 years and give her a mini arc in isolation of the actual plot of arcane

empty basin
#

I hated the war against Noxus I hated Caitlyn’s arc I hated hated hated the Vander stuff and I did not care for Isha

glacial marten
#

It was 3 months I’m being dramatic but the effect on watchers is the same

#

Caitlyn’s arc could have been good if Vi was an actual person

#

They shouldn’t have ended up together the way they did

shut ermine
#

Like for the political aspect that never seemed like itd be the biggest plot point
Acted as motivators to fuel the characters at first but as they get more and more broken / reveal how broken they are, the show focuses on their personal interactions rather than some overarching political issues

empty basin
#

I don’t think Caitlyn’s arc could have been good because there’s no redeeming her after that, she cannot be viewed positively after what she had done

empty basin
#

Their personal interactions have tension because of the political conflict

#

Vi and Jinx cannot simply go back to being sisters because they stand on opposing sides of the political conflict

#

Jayce and Viktor cannot go back to being naive inventors because their science has gotten them caught up in warfare

#

Every single interpersonal interaction in the show was coloured by politics

glacial marten
#

But I think that in and of itself is an interesting arc

#

I don’t think she needs to be redeemed in the sense that audiences need to like her

empty basin
#

I mean I never cared much for Caitlyn, so a corruption arc would have been neutral to me

glacial marten
#

I think that her authoritarian arc could have been a good and natural progression that she should have struggled to come back from

#

Which just brings me back to Vi I guess

empty basin
#

Like, emotionally and cognitively

#

A Caitlyn that can conceptualize those actions as valid and even preferable is a Caitlyn that cannot understand the depths of her own capability for evil

shut ermine
#

I shall now look up youtube essays on what arcane did wrong and right and copy the perspectives of other ppl bc honestly idk what to say i never thought of these aspects of the show

empty basin
#

What aspects did you focus on instead? /gen

#

Because to me I genuinely cannot imagine watching Arcane and being able to separate its characters from its political themes

shut ermine
empty basin
#

They usually were! Except for in S2 šŸ˜”

glacial marten
#

I don’t know if a true comeback would have ever been in the cards for her from a viewer perspective or in-character perspective

#

That said I still think that Caitlyn would absolutely have faltered when her idealistic values and privileges were tested

shut ermine
#

Maybe some things just overwrote other details and thats what i focused on most
Linkin Park song, goated
Ep 7, goated
Ambessa and mel, goated

glacial marten
#

To the degree they did idk, and should she have come back from it? Not when the deeds were this bad

#

Again vi is not treated like a person with autonomy and a unique worldview half the time when she’s around cait which is questionable to me

#

And I do think a lot of cait’s so called redemption hinges on her relationship with vi just because that is what the show set up

empty basin
#

Cait’s never been challenged by anything so it’s easy for her to say whatever she wants

empty basin
#

What is interesting about having Caitlyn’s horrible actions be excused by Vi’s affection for her? What depth is to be found here?

glacial marten
#

Too true

empty basin
#

I mean I guess there’s some intrigue to it being a toxic near-abusive relationship across classes but we all know that’s not the deal

glacial marten
#

Vi was the original test to cait’s morality except they gave her no backbone whatsoever

#

Even in the first season really

empty basin
#

Yup

glacial marten
#

I’m a caitvi hater

empty basin
#

Mmmhm

glacial marten
#

If only the show were self aware of it

#

Anyway

#

If only!

#

Curse you Amanda Overton

#

Goddd the things that woman has said about Mel

glacial marten
#

Oh?

empty basin
#

Medarda

glacial marten
#

Oh about her being a jezebel?

empty basin
#

Yeah

glacial marten
#

Yup yup yup

empty basin
#

Plus also trying to devalue her and Jayce’s relationship

#

ā€œWe want the caitvi scene to be Better than the meljay one!ā€ Well you failed

#

Amanda seems to view everything from a shipping lens first and foremost the whole ā€œvi’s parents were killed by copsā€ thing was apparently just fodder for caitvi angst to her

glacial marten
empty basin
#

Ehmmm

glacial marten
#

Seems like they were just into the steampunk aesthetics of oppression, crime and violence alas

empty basin
#

Yup yup

glacial marten
#

I like timebomb too

#

I just love Ekko

#

And I’m a Jinx apologist

empty basin
#

I’m all for childhood friends to lovers

glacial marten
#

She should never apologize

empty basin
#

Ekko is the most righteous character

glacial marten
#

Ekko is pretty easy to love

empty basin
#

He is he is I wish he was worse about it

shut ermine
#

i live to fight another day with at least one aspect of the show not being terrible

glacial marten
#

The name of the game with arcane s2 is terrible execution

empty basin
#

I mean if you want aspects of the show that aren’t terrible the animation is gorgeous as always

glacial marten
#

Also S1 was very good

shut ermine
#

it probably isnt great that its also like 5am so im incapable of comprehensive thoughts and when i watched arcane it was to relax after college work not analyze it that deeply
so, maybe worth the rewatch in this scenario, or at least those ytb essays that i mentioned

good to find out about yalls opinions

empty basin
#

Go sleep

shut ermine
#

no i crave human connection through pixelated words

empty basin
#

I mean me too but go sleep

fast marlin
#

oh no not arcane debate

#

my least favorite hobby

shut ermine
fast marlin
#

s2 is like a mid tier 7/10 animated show while s1 is like 13/10

glacial marten
#

S2 is riot realizing that they needed to promote their game and characters

empty basin
#

S2 is a 5/10 for me, 6/10 if I’m charitable

empty basin
fast marlin
#

you know what other shows is really good and has gorgeous animation and (it’s long story short)

#

its all ive been talking about for like 3 days since its came out

#

pleaseeeee give it a try please dear god

shut ermine
empty basin
#

I’m not the hugest fan of his recent stuff but all his old arcane vids are top tier

severe oriole
empty basin
#

It is! I do feel like the direction in S2 is worse than S1 and it can be summed up with that one tweet about the soundtrack

#

S2 is about making ā€œmomentsā€ not about telling a story

severe oriole
fast marlin
severe oriole
empty basin
#

No no the ā€œkilling some people and stealing their moneyyyā€ one

severe oriole
#

lmaooooo hahahahahahahahahahhaha

#

this is so funny omg

#

that's so true though

empty basin
#

It really is

#

At least S1 wasn’t so shallow

severe oriole
#

Viktor: dying
soundtrack: my body's on the line now...... :(

empty basin
#

I KNOW

#

like oh my goddd

severe oriole
#

hahahahahahhahaha

empty basin
#

I skipped that sequence

#

And the caitvi scene

severe oriole
empty basin
#

I just could not care

#

I do not care about Vander dying 3 times

severe oriole
#

omg ikr..

glacial marten
empty basin
#

Vander’s death was thematically important because it represented the death of the old status quo, there is no returning to the time of his order

severe oriole
#

also everything about vi and powder just never got resolved too... the called a double trucies because of Vander but that's kinda it lol.....

glacial marten
#

Me when I have to sell more vanders

empty basin
fast marlin
#

uou know what other shows has lesbian representation and a parental figure only dies once

glacial marten
#

Idk it felt pretty callous for vi to have sex with Caitlyn in her a-hole dictator era in the prison where her sister was being kept and for it to be like a ā€œfinally they get togetherā€ thing and not the tragedy it was

empty basin
#

It was disgusting

glacial marten
#

I actually laughed when I saw it bc I thought they couldn’t be serious

empty basin
#

A full disintegration of any authorial dignity

#

I complained so loud I woke folks up

glacial marten
#

Such a jarring tonal shift

empty basin
#

And then immediately afterward we cut to Jinx trying to kill herself again!

glacial marten
#

I actually want to know why people liked it

#

Because it felt like such an unbelievable sequence of events to me

empty basin
#

Because they ship

fast marlin
empty basin
#

When you’re only in it for the shipping material you don’t pay attention to things like ā€œnarrative cohesionā€

glacial marten
#

It wasn’t even that Vi was out of it due to trauma which is the only way I could write off that happening (and should have been followed up on too) it was literally like. Like watching someone die slowly with imagine dragons playing

fast marlin
#

its also on netflix so like u can basically just watch that instead of arcane

empty basin
#

It’s shallow and meaningless

glacial marten
#

:[

#

So sad

severe oriole
#

One thing I hate about s1 is how quickly Vi gives up on Powder... it was like episode 7 or something when she's like "Fine, i guess my sister's gone now, i guess i'll start calling you jinx now, whatever"

#

it feels so sad

#

like idk..
feels like Vi could've tried a little harder than that

shut ermine
fast marlin
#

i know people who worked on it i want to support them lmfao

#

shoutout noel bright hes so goated

shut ermine
#

oh sweet actually

fast marlin
#

yeah right

shut ermine
#

ill still pirate but sweet

fast marlin
#

fair enough!!

empty basin
#

Because Powder was dead and trying to cling to that was harming their relationship

#

Whatever was left of it, at least

glacial marten
#

The first step to their reunification was indeed for vi to accept who Powder/Jinx is now and not cling to who she was

empty basin
#

Except oops never mind Powder is back and inscrutably the Better version

glacial marten
#

But they did lobotomize Vi and not do that arc of acceptance any justice in S2

empty basin
#

Powder is kinda like Jinx’s deadname lol

severe oriole
fast marlin
#

depends

#

trauma works in different ways

empty basin
#

Of course the person underneath never dies but Jinx was not a little girl anymore, and she did not respond well to being treated as such

#

Which the name ā€œPowderā€ invoked

severe oriole
#

i'm saying to still treat her as a sister

#

etc.

#

not giving up on helping her

#

helping her recover and get better etc

empty basin
#

Vi could not see that Jinx became a terrorist, and in not being able to understand that she could not truly bond with Jinx

severe oriole
#

Jonx

empty basin
#

Nooooo

severe oriole
empty basin
#

Don’t do me like this

severe oriole
#

im sorry its such a funny typo

empty basin
#

But anyway, Jinx needed affirmation that she could be loved even despite all the awful things she’s done, or the awful things that have happened because of her (in her mind they’re the same). Vi could not give her that because she could not love Jinx the Terrorist

#

Not the way Silco could

#

I just woke up and back read this discussion and started crying

#

at least like most of the music in the show (and kda too, etc etc) is really good

#

My mutual has been posting a lot about league and arcane qnd idk it’s just been making me Reconsider it

#

Or jsut think about it again

#

When I watched it (since s1) I did not care for caitvi that much but s2 cemented that wow it is horrible ! Cait is horrible. the emotional whiplash I got from them going from hating each other to in love and hating each other then in love again just.. felt weird. If thats someone’s thing as it stands then whatever, the power imbalance is just a little crazy to me to be a lovey dovey ship but who knows
The prison scene is awful for many reasons, jinx being actively suicidal and it’s all forgotten a moment after for Cait pissed me off to no end

#

Anyway. Post from the mutual who’s thoughts I enjoy even if idk what it’s about 90% of the time

#

(Also s2e7 was maybe the best thing about the second season for me. Even when it’s bad it’s good)

#

At least in comparison to the Everything Else

@shut ermine
It was a 9/10 instead of a 10 and it isn't clear why. They had so much story they didn't have enough time to tie all the knots.
Probably with 12 episodes they would have managed.
The fact that many moments in the first 2 arcs they opted for a music video and that mellows down the experience.
The sacrifice of Isha is so telegraphed it is ruined. In arcane season 1 things break, things go wrong. Isha sacrifice is a choice and therefore shown in a positive light, with music video and all, in my opinion completely ruins the moment. Also because the heroic sacrifice of a child is quite a strange thing to portray as heroic.

This is enough to ruin quite a lot of things.
Ahyes the "elite team" picked by Caitlyn is literally a team of random people she picked up from low ranks. It is quite hard to look at it differently. Some random foot soldiers are going to solve all the problems. I get the idea, but that was a little bit too random.
There were also various things about the final confrontation that were not ok but I cannot remember. Like why did Vander wake up after the mind control? All the other mechasoldiers didn't. The appearance of Jinx and Ekho at that precise moment was very cheesy with the music and all. I get that is Jinx, but this is a war and not a revolution. It was cool, but got me out of the moment.

#

Also yeah just read AD message. Caitvin happening literally after Jinx escaped prison was so out of place. It felt so wrong to be shown there.

yes its very touching until you realize its glorifying a child all but committing suicide. jst so another characters mindset will revert. lmao

I didn't pay so much attention after they decided to do what most fanfics do. High school AU

#

Yeah... Well the death was part of the plot and all, but all the music video before trying to upsell it was not ok.
I know the writers were amateur and they brought an external consultant to help for season 1, it almost feels like they fired her for season 2, or stopped listening to her.

Isha's sacrifice was something i didnt pay any attention to and I'd blame the pacing for that too
For cait's team i really do think they just wanted to throw in some cool character designs so they gave them like a 2-sentence-long backstory each ( at most ) and said "yup, ship it, good to go"

my #1 guess for bad writing is almost always time pressure

#

arcane s1 took like eight years or something

#

s2 took like three

#

and i know they already had the technology but arcane is an insane show and i don’t think they had it planned from the beginning so its impossible to make that work in half the time

#

i also have a theory that bc its so gorgeous their writing time is very short anyway bc you don’t really get to do reshoots in the same way

tranquil bay
#

the isha thing is like. she could not have more clearly been a character that existed solely to be a sacrifice, and one of my friends got raked over the coals for saying that and people were throwing around child hater accusations and whatever at her. and then amanda went on to confirm recently that, yes, that was basically isha's purpose, to be a lesson for jinx to learn. which like. there's nothing wrong with the concept itself but the execution was. lacking. it felt unearned.

# fast marlin the consultant thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjB2DU5MdU

So I saw this ages ago, and thankfully I found it because it was still in my history.
It is mentioned how the two main creators were "first timers" and how they hired Amanda Overton and I just assumed she was the more experienced of the 3 and was hired for this reason.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3354758/
She has experience in script and continuity department but in the writer department it looks as if there are only little things. So maybe I misunderstood. Or maybe I am right, but my mind gave her too much credit? Or maybe the credit was correct and her background is enough and maybe she has a lot more uncredited work too.

Reading the comment by Tatz I see that she remained for season 2, so I suppose she is part of the problem for season 2 as well.
Or maybe it is the production to 'blame', or to 'thank', because they all tried to push for more episode, and when the management, or netflix, or whatever, told them no, they still managed to string things in a compelling way.

Yet... I still cannot believe that after what they showed in season 1 the lacking moments in season 2 feel a little bit more amateurish, almost beginner level...

steel lantern
# still schooner If S1 is as good as people say it is S2 being this much of a problem would proba...

I think some people are making a mountain out of a molehill... It is worth a watch. The problem is that season 1 is perfect, and season 2 is a 9/10. It is well made, but if we had 3 episodes more, or 1 probably even episode more, it would have been just as majestic, and people get caught up with "What could have been" and that is a slippery slope. Or by quoting the Hero of arcane "That's a good way to drive yourself crazy."

# steel lantern I think some people are making a mountain out of a molehill... It is worth a wat...

mmm from the league lore side of things, since they hastily made arcane canon to the league universe after the success of s1 that means they have to rewrite certain characters completely (which we still havent seen, and word of this was like. nearly 2 years ago maybe atp) and s2 has further complicated the state of things and left some characters in limbo. its frustrating and the criticism is not unwarranted

#

if you want to just enjoy the show as a show, its perfectly fine. as a companion piece to a broader ip though, not quite as much

steel lantern

If they messed up the IP in different ways that is outside of what I know... I can only speak for the show.
I was taken aback when they first stated "not canon" and then "big canon". sigh...

S1 my friend told me is a 9/10 because they reserve the 10/10 to some really special occasions

Im kidding, of course
Not throwing shade at team cherry

#

But I find hype this massive scary

#

I’ll try the game once the hype dies down and more level-headed opinions start coming out

# royal relic But I find hype this massive scary

that's fair but I mean people are already playing the game and the hype is still going... people had MASSIVE expectations for this game and lots were worried that a game cannot live up to these.. but it turned out that Silksong even EXCEEDED some of these insane expectations somehow!!

#

like it's just that huge of a phenomenon

#

you can feel how insanely much passion team cherry put into this game, it feels like a pure passion project that's been polished to an insane degree by a team that didn't need to worry about money or rush the game out like the majority of developers do nowadays

#

I dont know, I just love when creative people who genuinely care about making the best version of their artistic vision get to do exactly that! without capitalism and stuff getting in the way, it happens very very rarely, that's why these games are so precious in my opinion!
so I think it's fair to love this game based on this reason alone honestly! let alone the fact that it genuinely turned out extremely well

#

oh i agree 100% but it's just...
the general conversation around this game is all like

#

it's just so noisy

#

i'll wait for it to quiet down and enjoy it on my own terms, if that makes sense

severe oriole
#

yeah I get it!

tall owl
#

yeah thats why i muted the vidya channel for the time being lol

royal relic
#

surprised you didn't do that back when i was ranting about FPS games for like...

#

the last 5 years dusa

tall owl
#

oh no it's more like a volume thing

royal relic
#

i need to step up my game then

tall owl
#

and fps are semi-interesting to me

severe oriole
#

šŸ˜”

tall owl
#

oh no dont worry about that at all

#

its not like me and bim rented that channel

royal relic
#

yeah don't worry about it peepoSmile

tall owl
#

if i was playing a game i anticipated as much as what's currently happening it'd be the same

severe oriole
royal relic
#

see this?
they're recruiting

tall owl
#

lol

royal relic
#

half a mil in two hours just clearly wasn't enough PES_Lul

tall owl
#

i actually do have hollow knight in my library

severe oriole
#

both are great

tall owl
#

tho for some unknown reason, i conflate it with rain world and i played that for half an hour before giving up so it's been pushed wayyyy back (i'm a rational being)

royal relic
#

yeah i was like that with ori

#

kinda similar case to hollow knight

#

an indie metroidvania that was just gorgeous to look at and everyone was raving about it

severe oriole
#

Hollow Knight is nothing like that haha

royal relic
#

but then i got in and found a super clunky metroidvania that couldn't even stack up to super metroid from 1994

#

well - at least it felt clunky to me
so i dropped it PES3_SadCoffee

severe oriole
#

it's alright at best in my opinion

royal relic
#

it sure was pretty tho

severe oriole
#

I honestly don't even know if I fully agree with that.. There was some muddy shading and clarity issues

#

Hollow Knight, on the other hand, doesnt have those! MelGrin

royal relic
#

listen you guys already sold milions
you don't have to sell me on it PES_Lul

severe oriole
#

hahahahaha

royal relic
#

my mind is already made up - it's just not a matter of if but when

tall owl
severe oriole
#

I come across as such a shill.....

#

severe oriole
royal relic
#

anyway - apple is doing their thing in 5 minutes so i'm just gonna grab a beer and get on a VC with a mate and laugh at them

tall owl
#

PES2_HmmmmNoted okay so it's some PR spiel, some airpods 3 stuff

i'm just waiting for a funny slipup like that Liquid Assā„¢ from last time dusa

tall owl
#

they should make the next airpods bigger

royal relic
#

YES
now i have a reason to post one of my favorite things

royal relic
#

okay - 30 minutes in and the single most used word in this keynote is "double"

tall owl
#

instead of float, eh

royal relic
#

double the strength! double the range! double the anc

#

i'm just waiting for the price to just say "double" dusa

#

alright - liquid glass update - the only thing i was waiting for

#

cause i'm sick of everything looking flat and maybe this will give everyone a swift kick in the collective butt and change things around

#

and a PCJ minigame further down the way dusa

#

BRUH

#

ok so this lady just said that "iphone users took 500 billion selfies last year"

tall owl
#

no they just asked me

#

i took all the selfies

#

they knocked on my door saying 'sir can you please delete some of your 500 billion selfies from your icloud account, we cant keep buying hard drives'

royal relic
#
