    I saw your pfp, did you finally watch Hilda?
    Jackomon
    Jackomon
    Yep, just caught up with Season 2 and just about to watch the movie. Its so good, really enjoying it. Sad to know Season 3 will be the final Season, and just like Kipo & She-Ra, I do hope we see more Hilda at some point in the future

    I will say that I've just seen the movie, and I enjoyed it just as much, can't wait for Season 3
    Why am I so scared to draw...I really want to draw, but I don't want to as while I did draw during my childhood, and even submitted some art into some magazines according to my parents that were apparently published in said magazines (Dora the Explorer to be specific, and yeah, this is pre-school me).

    During Primary School, I enjoyed drawing, while during my Secondary School years, I didn't really care for it. And if I did, I would of only done it during my Junior Cert. The art teacher during my Junior Cert years was a very kindhearted, elderly woman that my Sister had back when she was in Secondary School. However, during the leaving cert, the teacher we had was...not so nice, she was basically a bossy, rude, ableist (I asuume, from an interaction I had with her) woman. (For context, the previous one retired). So if I had done Art, I would of immediately quit it just like I did Chemistry & French back in Secondary School (although, when it comes to French, I just found it hard in general and I did like my French teacher in general).

    Afterwards, there were a few times where I was interested in it, and got art supplies, and even got a Wacom digital art pad back in 2021, however, I never did anything with it (although, I do blame currency exchange fluctuation for that one).

    I really want to draw, and wish I could of remembered my drawing skills from my childhood, however, I can't, and I know I will suck. I want to try and draw, at least draw Simpsons characters first.

    Does anyone ever have these feelings of been afraid to draw? I know there are artists on this site, and from what I've seen from some of them, THEY ARE AMAZING, with one example I can think of been @MaryWrite.

    Of course, AI is another reason why I'm scared to draw too, and it getting stolen from what DeviantART has shown me through the years

    Aw, well, I do worry I'm becoming kind of an annoying busybody. I have a hard time holding back from trying to be helpful whenever I can. On that note, if there's any sketches you wanna run by me then I'll do what I can there too. Admittedly, really not great but I might be able to help get you started, maybe.

    Hey thanks for the compliment and yeah I get the feeling of being afraid to draw whether it be from discouragment or getting it stolen. But the best advice I can give is looking at ways to avoid it and mainly getting i ln the mindset that your gonna draw for your own enjoyment and not care what anyone says. Obviously its goid to hear people's advice and proper criticism, but you should be more worried about doing what makes you feel happy.

    And trust starting off, I guarantee its going to suck, and you won't be a pro, but that's apart of it. What matters is that you are willing to work towards getting better at yoyr skills. It took me years to get where I am, but im still not perfect as there's alot of things I gotta work on.

    Just get into the mindset and be willing to try, not for anyone but for you.

    It sounds like you are scared to draw, because you're thinking of the longterm end goal of creating that perfect drawing that - in your head - takes a lot of time and work to achieve. I'd advice you to start thinking in shortterm goals.

    Get comfortable just doodling. Putting down crappy scribbles. It will take a lot of bad drawings to create a good one, but doodles will give you the confidence of getting ideas down fast and will allow you some thinking space while working on your art. If you don't know what to draw, do life observation sketches. Don't worry if it's gonna be good, just have fun with the process. I always have a sketchbook just to fill with crappy doodles and ideas before I start thinking about how to turn them into a good drawing/animation. A sketchbook is just for you, you don't have to worry about how good the content looks.

    Plan small amounts of time to achieve something. 15 minutes of sketching. That's it. If you feel like continuing beyond those 15 minutes, go on. If not, that's fine. Don't pressure yourself too much, or it will feel daunting before you even start.

    Find drawing exercises that will help you learn the fundamentals. Learning the basics of solid drawing will be essential and instrumental. Broaden your horizon with different techniques and styles. Nurture your interest. To be honest, The Simpsons is horrible place to start learning how to draw, because the characters are awkwardly, badly designed. It'll be much easier to draw in this style of broken rules if you know the rules.

    I saw tracing as an advice here, but I would advice against it. Don't trace, but try to recreate an existing drawing by observation. Then overlay your drawing on the original and observe the mistakes: what elements are the wrong size, which proportions are off... Learn how to not only see the mistakes, but why you made the mistakes. This is an import thing that I don't think can be taught, but you have to learn to analyze your mistakes and how to build your skills from them. It's not just about drawing, but also about taking the time to really look at your work. It comes with experience.

    As for AI, AI can't steal my or your way of approaching art. Don't let it worry you too much.
    Part of me is wandering if I should re-review Simpsons episodes in the way I am watching the newer ones? And if I do eventually do it, if I should write those opinions on a separate thread or put them on the individual already established episode threads
    Venomrabbit
    Venomrabbit
    Well, part of me says there's threads already but I think some members have their own dedicated ones. Wish I had a more useful answer there...
    Not sure about everyone else, but Bart vs. Thanksgiving always feels like the go-to Thanksgiving episode for me

    I don't have anything go-to in terms of Thanksgiving. I do however try to watch something related to the holiday I haven't seen before, which this year will be Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

    Why is it hard to write a fic when your distracted by other things, not to mention in a bad mood
    Venomrabbit

    It does take a lot of focus. Personally, I like using various kinds of white noise to block out most other things, helps clear my head too. I dunno if it'll help you but it's worth a try if you haven't already. Youtube's got quite a few 10 hour fan/rain types of videos.

    Just take your time. Work with 10-20 minutes, however long you can focus. Usually, the joy of getting even that little bit done can inspire you to try for more. At least, that's my experience.
    I wander if I have too much on my plate sometimes...or if I go overboard with my planning. From the rest of the month & in December, I plan to:
    - Watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinochio, Fantasia & Bambi, along with rewatching Dumbo for my Disney Rate & Review project
    - Plan to catch up on the 4 Seasons of Big City Greens
    - Finish Season 11 of Family Guy
    - Complete Batch #1 of South Park
    - Catch up with all of Hilda (and its 3rd Season) alongside all of The Dragon Prince
    - Finish One Piece
    - Watch Wednesday
    - Watch Clueless & Mean Girls
    - Watch The Marvels if it does arrive digitally before the end of the year
    - Watch all the 80s & 2000s Strawberry Shortcake shows/specials/movies
    - Keep up with the ongoing series I'm watching
    - Play Super Mario RPG when it releases on November 17th
    - Check out Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections when it releases on November 17th
    - Check out the Game Awards (although I'll probably watch a reaction VOD to it, the Game Awards I have watched live are usually snooze fests for me)
    - Watch Justice League Season 1 along with Batman: TAS & Young Justice when they arrive on Netflix (as who knows how long they'll be there fore, and the DC animated shows are shows I'd rather watch legally if possible)
    - Maybe watch Close Enough if that show will be disappearing from Netflix by the end of the year along with Final Space (which I thankfully binge watched last year)
    - Along with doing my course and other personal real life stuff that will have me busy

    While trying to not get into fanfic planning mode cause that does keep me from doing other stuff I want to do, even if that means I have to forget the fanfic I started a few months back on A03 (which I have unfortunately already forgotten what I had planned for it).

    also...I just remembered there's an Invincible game releasing this month that I want to check out (unless its already released), and a bunch of games I plan to get on Black Friday. Along with watching Thanksgiving themed content on Thanksgiving (if I have time) and watching Christmas themed content during December.

    Ahh okay in that case that sounds more manageable lol. I’d say putting the manga on halt until you get all these shows out of the way is a good idea too

    i will still always prefer the ''if you change something in the past, the present will be completely different'' idea of time travel, even tho it gets a bit confusing like do the people who saw you time travel to the past vanish or do they just forget everything

    Yeah, and I do remember something I love that has timeline shenanigans in it, that been the 4th Pokémon Movie: Pokémon 4Ever. My favourite Pokémon movie of all time.

    Was hoping to start my Disney Movie reviews this weekend, but I'll leave it till next weekend as I don't have the right equipment yet (and my equipment, I meant a writing pad, as I feel like I want to write down my notes instead of typing them).
    I'm honestly struggling with a new Avatar idea, I did change it from Vaggie to Leafeon as Halloween was over, but I have since changed it to Sid Chang as the Leafeon pfp I had was bothering me, but now I want to either change it to Toph from ATLA or a character from The Owl House.

    Probably the best thing to do, although I'd probably open up Pokémon Platinum and do it via the Pokétch feature as I am terrible at coin flips in real life, lol. I will say right now I don't have the urge to change it again, the next time I plan to change it will be in December

    I'd get the same thoughts too several years ago. It definitely meant something so it might be worth giving some more thought.
    A lot more thought though. It might not mean much and might just be drunkenness talking but if you're getting an outright revulsion from the thought of being male... It's just best to be absolutely sure how you feel before making any kind of move from there, okay?

    Currently watching Big City Greens and I'm reading that apparently various Simpsons characters inspired various BCG characters (at least, according to the BCG wiki).

    Cricket is inspired by Bart (which I can see)
    Tilly is inspired by Lisa (at least, when Lisa is acting more like a kid and not a teenager/adult)
    Chip is inspired by Russ Cargil & Mr. Burns
    Benny is inspired by Ralph Wiggum
    Gramma is inspired by Mona Simpson
    Remy is inspired by Milhouse Van Houten (which...I don't know how to feel about and honestly, can't see)
    Bill is inspired by Homer (although, I'd say he's more like by Applejack from MLP & Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers)
    Apparently Nancy is inspired by Marge (from what I've seen & read, its hard to see), Vasquez is inspired by Groundskeeper Willie and Andromeda is inspired by Janey of all characters (although, it might just be the fact that she's the best friend of Tilly like Janey is the best friend of Lisa.
    And apparently another character called Gabriella is inspired by both Jessica Lovejoy & Nikki McKenna, along with Ronnie Anne Santiago from The Loud House & The Casagrandes (although, I think its inspiration from her role in The Loud House if anything).

    Gloria is the only other character that I checked that isn't inspired by any Simpsons characters, but is inspired by Frankie from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which I can see from what I remember of that show (I also looked up another character, that been Weezie who is inspired by Vincent LaSalle from Recess).
    During my watchthrough of Family Guy, there have been moments where the characters go into the distance and can't be heard but subtitles appear, but out of curiosity, I did a test on my phone on, and found out that those scenes can be heard, but my headphones aren't great at all, you can't hear it on my PC and on my phone you can barely hear it, but it comes clear when you put the headphones out. Clearly, I need to use different headphones, but as much as I like my bluetooth headphones, my PC doesn't accept bluetooth due to Micracast so I have to use wired, and its hard to find any around these days.
    Does anyone ever have a dream where it makes you question if that dream was trying to tell you something?

    I think I had one last night, but I'm not sure if its just because I'm stupid or cause I'm currently drunk right now (have been for the last hour and a half, maybe more). Although I have been thinking about the dream since I woke up, even thou I barely remember it at the same time, if that makes any sense, apolgogies if it doesn't

    i dreamt i had ice cream, went ahead and got myself some ice cream, noticed it looks depressing that i'm eating ice cream alone so i called my friend and told them to meet me, then i got them ice cream, and we ate the ice cream together

    message of the dream: buy ice cream and dont eat it alone, cause it looks depressing
    Have a Family Guy related question, but should I watch the final 3 episodes of Season 4 before or after Stewie: The Untold Story?
    John95
    John95
    Ideally, I would've watched Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story before Season 4 since the framing material about the premiere I think references the show returning from cancellation. But as is, yeah I'd say watch it after Season 4 which was how it was when it aired (though now split into three episodes, and with scenes cut like all of the premiere framing material) plus it'd make up for Season 4's actual finale (Griffin Family History) being kinda weak.
    With a Vaggie (Hazbin Hotel) pfp & a Keramon (Digimon) Banner...I think I'm ready for Halloween
    I really need to find a good Halloween themed PFP for this site. I have it as Carrie from Gumball on Discord so I can't use that, and on Insta I'm still gonna stick with Terra, but regardless, not sure who I want to choose that isn't generic or just going for a Pokémon/Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh Card
