Ik the monster high g1 vs g3 discourse is like over but I recently watched the g3 movies and the first season of the show and unironically am about to watch the first movie for the 3rd time
Like it's endearing, it reminds me of being a little kid like this is MY monster high generation that I get to grow up with because I wasn't allowed to watch g1 when I was little it totally has its moments and isn't my favorite story or visual wise but it's alright because that's why I'm an artist lmao

i want more nuance to be entered into the discussion of the green girl sorority and how differently cynthia plays elphaba in comparison to those who came before her because while a lot of people are rightfully like "why was elphaba not black from the beginning" and celebrating that she is now being played by a black woman, i think we need to be careful in just writing off all the elphabas of the past as Random White Girls when the role was championed (and often followed/succeeded) by a jewish woman
the pop culture archetype of the Wicked Witch has deep roots in antisemitism stretching faaaar far back. there is a level of reclamation happening in casting idina menzel, a jewish woman, to play the Misunderstood and Maligned young girl who is branded as exactly that. and stage!Elphaba is also written and acted with jewish stereotypes in mind--she is loud, aggressive, no-nonsense, blunt. she is quick to advocate for herself and shut down the discrimination she faces. all of this is very intentional! her personality is abrasive from years of abuse, and that makes propagandizing her easy. this is literally the thesis statement of the musical--it's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed.
cynthia's performance of elphaba is fucking INSPIRED despite going in a completely different direction. she's much more reserved, analytical, one of her key character traits is how well she can read people (see her calling out Galinda as insecure/putting on airs in their first scene together, clocking that Fiyero is using his party guy persona as a shield for his own depression) elphaba's attempts to blend in and make herself smaller all fail simply because of her existence, if not that then because she feels empathy so strongly she often struggles to hold back from acting, protecting.
personality wise, though, cynthia's elphaba is very quiet and closed-off, not at all the bullet-to-the-face that she is in the stage show, and... she still gets propagandized and maligned. though this seems to contradict the other interpretation, it tells of the other end of the spectrum of propaganda, one that black women watching (and many, MANY other marginalized folks) are sure to identify with--it does not matter how "nice," how reserved, how small a black woman makes herself. a racist society will still scrutinize her every action for a way to parse ill intent from it, brand her as an angry black woman who is dangerous and wicked, and write off any humanity she has in the process.
these two very different interpretations tell of the lie of assimilation. the fact of the matter is, when you are marginalized, there is no way to sand down your edges enough to make the people oppressing you "accept" you. that is why wicked is a tragedy at its core. whether loud and aggressive or quiet and unimposing, there is nothing elphaba could have done to make the people of Oz see her as anything other than a scapegoat to blame all their problems on.
so while i definitely appreciate that people are excited for black girl era elphaba, i would encourage us all to still show appreciation for what came before--that was not white girl era elphaba. that was jewish girl era elphaba. two houses, both alike in dignity, two stories both worth being told.

“You're paranoid,” he rolled his eyes. “You're paranoid, and you have a guilty conscience. Clearly, you're doing something wrong,” I was fine with that statement because he wasn't lying. Jude's fatal flaw is honesty. Whatever his form of honesty is. It is his truth.
“I have my reasons to be paranoid. You are one of them.” I smiled faintly as Jude continued tracing my back.
“Oh stop it,”

“You know you love me so act like it.”

I sucked my teeth and shook my head ‘no’. “Tch, you know I don't like blonde boys,”

“Okay, well, I'll grow my hair back out for you,” Judas tells me with a smile I can hear, and I can't tell if he's joking or not.

He's really been getting under my skin recently. I couldn't help but tense up hearing his completely steady heart as he lilted his voice, changing his position entirely and wrapping his hands around my waist, resting his body against mine.
"Do you even love me anymore, Darry?"
And the voice shifted.
“Well?”
me too gang
bisexuality demons were kicking his ass
HAD to repost this because i was never a jayce hater and will never truly understand the hate he gets ❤️🩹

crossing my fingers for a future pilot of my own
I want to make my own pilot one day. How much did it cost to make this? Including VAs, music, any other storyboarders, etc.
$10K was gonna be my absolute budget (i would have been hurting a bit lol). I was estimating it'd be closer to around $8K but wanted to account for everyone's rates being higher than I expected. This would have been for VAs, an editor, BG artists (for a few bg sketches), composer, singer songwriter for the ending song, animator (rough animation for a couple sequences), and logo design. You could probably get away with cheaper but I was trying to match union rates and whatnot (plus the talent I was looking at are all A listers and professionals who've been in their respective fields for years)
But because most of my friends offered to help for free, I've only used around $3500! I mean it's still a lot but I'll take it. And I was able to get extra help on stuff I didn't think I'd be able to which is nice!

"Why do you even have that up here??"

The redesigns of Shining Armor and Chrysalis and arewrite of Wedding in Canterlot, where Shining Armor and Princess Cadence switch places! I figured it would make way more sense for Chrysalis to try to make Cadence love her because she's kinda a goddess of love, also toxic yuri is real Way more sibling angst with Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor, her thinking she needs to fight or even kill her brother which results in very tragic and sad scenes. Twilight believes him only when he sings his version of B.B.B.F.F, also Cadence is very tired for the whole time and bonds with Twilight over her brother's weird behaviour.
