Guess what lies ahead!

There's a great video from 8-bit Music Theory that goes both into why most gameboy games have a more limited sound-scape, and how the Pokemon TCG game on Gameboy Color uses a lot of tricks to sound like it's doing more than should be possible.

Incidentally, from memory (this could be wrong!) the underground-in-your-hideout is 100% in GBC limitations, instead of "right sound, but without channel limits" as the rest of the soundtrack does.

Which means that compared to the "main" version of the level theme, the underground version uses the same tricks as Pokemon TCG - establishing a catchy groove and then slipping notes and parts out of it to add accents, relying on the ear-worm melody for the listener to still think they hear the full thing.

The Magic School Bus can time travel

When asked, Ms. Frizzle denies that she “knows everything”

However, Ms. Frizzle always knows what her students are up to, knows the answer to every question they ask her, and never shows fear even when in extreme mortal peril, as if she’s experienced this all before

Although we know she was in a rock band called the Frizzlettes and was a Shakespearean actress, Ms. Frizzle’s childhood remains mysterious

Ms. Frizzle is EXACTLY the sort of person to travel back in time to teach herself, and is in fact the most likely fictional character to do so

Nobody is ever named “Valerie Frizzle” at birth

Ms. Frizzle dresses queerly and laughs at her own bad jokes

A lot of the series is about Arnold learning to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy - that phrase is more or less targeted at him as a student

yellow for hope 💛🤍💜🖤

and the post begins

because otherwise it gets kind of visually confusing to parse, which is annoying to some folks, including me

GRANTED not everybody uses the same theme or even the same update. you might have noticed my version of tumblr is earlier than yours (I don't like the new button setup)

but still, it's just about being polite

Okarun: it's m--

Parents: DID YOU EAT OUR SON??!!

This is part 2 of my Dandadan-art-I-did-half-a-year-ago-after-season-one-came-out!

This post was shaped for Instagram, but not friends with that platform anymore, so Tumblr gets it too... I remember being fascinated by the takahē birds, for their shape, but also the dinosaur structure, I believe Okarun likes dinosaurs, just like kaijus, so I had to make a little comic for them!
