âAt Last, we finally meetâŚâ
Spent the past few weeks working on a short animation of one of my fav scenes in #FF7 đ¤
i had this stupid idea in my head and I had to do it so sorry
I've read a lot of criticisms lately of things I enjoy. It's maybe not the healthiest pasttime, but I enjoy picking these things apart to myself or my partner.
But one thing I often see almost every time is people who say "There's too much telling, and not enough showing." Which often the way media (especially tv) is these days is kinda true. But then these posts usually go on to talk about how confused they are at certain things, that usually only take a modicum of critical thought. And its like they really need things explained to them after all, because when its not they're lost.
anyway just a thing i noticed in a lot critique I've seen lately.

I was clearly feeling some sort of way when I got to the middle Sephiroths outfit & somehow created what Iâve now called
â90âs Midgar Grunge Sephirothâ đ
Half the problems people have with the show would be fixed if disney gave them more time per episode. If they had 50-60 minute episodes there would be more time to flesh out the plot points. They wouldn't have to cut things out or shorten scenes to make sure the most important plot points are included. They would have more time for the characters to naturally figure stuff out instead of saying 'this is Procrustes' or 'this is Medusa' if the episodes were longer.
In episode 7, they're trying to fit 3 chapters into one 40 minute episode. The writers can't dwell on every single thing. They have to change things and make the pace a lot faster.
We should really be blaming disney for not giving the show the time it actually needed and not Rick or the show runners. They used the time they had and some sacrifices had to be made.
I really hope that if we get a season 2 they will give more time for the story to be told.
the adhd kids missing the deadline but saving the day anyway is so personal to me actually
Like yeah I could nitpick the pjo show to death, or I could respect it for what it's tryna do in bringing the story to a new audience while also rectifying some issues with the original book but imo that energy is best spent on two main criticisms:
1) the episodes are short as fuck so when your trying to exposit in a small amount of time it feels like too much tell vs show
2) the scene transitions are super jarring
This! I feel like a lot (not all and there's a lot valid ones out there) of the criticism I see of the show can be boiled down to barely 30 minutes per episode and only 8 episodes. It's too short to aptly *show* everything properly. But they also want to include as much as they can.
There's something about Athena, goddess of wisdom, refusing to allow her child to be a free thinker at the cost of her LIFE and schools being a tool to create factory workers, not creative types.
There's something about Hephaestus, god of invention, now making machines that suit himself not the world. He is still selfish. He is still trying.
There's something about Hermes, god of thieves, living off of stolen moments with his son.
There's something about Hades, god of the dead, choosing not to allow more to die on his watch. He makes them work for it, because he is a god and inherently flawed, but thinks for his and others' safety.
There's something about change coming to Olympus, to the highest point. There's something about unrest. There's something about the way anyone can spark revolution.

This happened to my buddy Katy Perry
One of the biggest beauties of ShB is ambiguity. Personally I would've loved if there was no "right" side ever, but of course, the mmo medium needs bosses to fight, heroes need their villains.
We're told all the time, the Source and the reflections, the original and the copies, the greater and the lessers, but Lakeland, the place that welcomes us into a new [lesser] world, looks gorgeous, and the Crystarium's literally designed to be easy to love, no, not by the game devs, by the Exarch himself. However he couldn't have built it all on his own, countless people of the First must've contributed. It's not just a thing architected by a guy from the Source, it's a flower of the First, that one stubborn plant that grows in a crack of a paved road.
It's a post-apocalyptic world. The entire thing could've easily looked like Amh Araeng or the shanty town around Eulmore. People could've easily been as unlikeable as many of those who we save in the Source over and over again. Or at least, not interesting. Yet, this [lesser] world's vibrant and captivating, rich with history, albeit most of it's just hinted at, still, it makes you believe and wonder. You don't see the First as a lesser world as you walk it. I think it adds to the overarching theme of ancients vs sundered.
The dev effort that went into building a new world from scratch, making Norvrandt feel tangible, has paid off in so many ways, this being just one of them.
Poor twitter intern learned a lesson today

it seems so strange to me that the only people it is socially acceptable to live with (once you reach a certain stage in life) are sexual partners? like why canât i live with my best friend? why canât i raise a child with them? why do i need to have sex with someone in order to live with them? why do we put certain relationships on a pedestal? why donât we value non-sexual relationships enough? why do life partners always have to be sexual partners?
My grandmother and grandfather more or less adopted my grandmotherâs best friend back in the 50s. After my grandfather died (before I was born, back in 1968 or so) they continued to keep house together, platonic best friends, and they hung together until they died, a few months apart, in 2007.
Itâs quite recently, as far as I can tell, that living arrangements like that have stopped being regarded as normal.
Itâs absolutely a new thing to find this stuff weird, and it has a lot to do with media pretending that the nuclear family and marriage are the only reasons to live with other people.
Iâve lived in a 3 adult household my whole life. My parents and their best friend. This was never weird to me, even though everyone my age thought it was because the media never portrayed these kinds of housing arrangements. As far as i was concerned, I just had an extra non-blood parent.
According to my parents, it was very common in the 70â˛s-80â˛s to buy houses with your friends, because it was financially smart to do so (so long as you were certain they were close friends who wouldnât fall out with you and fuck everything up). Houses and house payments are much more manageable when you split the bills 3-4 ways instead of just two.
Millenials arenât the first to think itâs a great idea to just shack up with friends. Thatâs housemating without the hastle of living with strangers. Itâs still a good idea to shack up with people youâve known a long time so you know how youâll get on living together, but still. In the current economy, itâs pretty much now our only option for affording anything.
I think, and Iâm not researched on this, but I think conservatives probably tried to suppress images of non-nuclear families because they likely thought it would encourage ideas of polygamy, polyamory, open sexual relationships with or without marriage, as well as other relationship types they thought of as un-christian or unsavoury. I could be wrong, but that shit wouldnât surprise me.
(And i want to make a note that thereâs also a disturbing amount of asexual denial around that makes people go âif theyâre living together they HAVE to be banging because why wouldnât they?â and that shit both creeps me out and annoys me no end. People can be in relationships without sex. People can live together without sex. Sex is not the be-all and end-all and people being taught to think it is really need to stop).
Donât let the media fool you into believing you can only live with a sexual partner or blood family. Someone somewhere has an agenda for making these seem abnormal, when really itâs just practical.
A lot of people acted like it was super weird when two of my brothers decided to move states with me when I started my postdoc. I got really used to giving a little canned speech about it because it seemed to bewilder people so much. (Their leases happened to be up! We could share rent! They wanted to try somewhere new!)
The notable exception was my grandma, who was just like, âoh, yes, when we were young my sister and I decided to move cross-country together and it was lovely.â
More of this kind of thing for everyone, pls.
The implication that close sibling relationships must also be a warning sign for incest also peeves me off; what kind of society are we living in anyway
#my momâs a historian#does a lot of research#one of the main takeaways from the census data of literally every US census since the beginning#is that the nuclear family has never been the actual norm#nobody really ever lived like that#and a lot donât now#and itâs clearly artificial and not ideal for most people#every household in the census had at least a grandma#usually a cousin#some rando#someone living in the house who wasnât mom or dad or kid#always someone#usually several someones#some uncles etc.#unmarried aunties#that sort of person#but often unrelated friends#weâve never really lived alone#thatâs not how families work#thatâs not how humans work Â

Having a multi-adult household unit also just makes a shit-ton of sense, tbh. Much easier to split not only the bills, but also the housework and child-rearing responsibilities. Communal living ftw.
Itâs also super a capitalism thing.
With only two working-age people in the house, itâs very difficult to make ends meet without one of them (or increasingly, these days, both of them) working away the vast majority of their waking hours to earn enough money to support the household. The other person, if they arenât also working similar hours, is there to support that working person, full time, with unpaid labour.
The end result of this is that nobody has any time or energy to spend together properly, and they just end up tired and miserable and shackled to their work, throwing money at their problems because itâs all they can do. Itâs very easy to convince tired, miserable people to spend their money in the ways you want them to, and itâs also very easy to manipulate and oppress people who donât have the energy or the means to fight for their rights. Convince a whole nation that this is the way the world is supposed to work, and youâll be well away.
Death to the cancerous myth of the nuclear family.
this is exactly the type of thing us aros and aces are referring to when we talk about amatonormativity
In addition to the above factors scorning non-nuclear family households, there is a load of racism pointed at living arrangements including more than 2 adults.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and nearly every multi-gen/extended family (who were rarely ever white) in my quiet, uniformly lower-middle-class neighborhood was thought of as âdirtyâ and âtaking advantageâ of âthe systemâ. The defacto impression was these households were drug dealing or otherwise out of control.
The amount of surveillance that white folks dedicated to the comings and goings of a BIPOC multi-adult household was disgusting, and this was *before* Next Door. And despite me being white, people often made clear to me that my own multi-gen household wasnât How It Was Done because thatâs what Those People did.
