I Had Like Twenty Scenes From The First Three Stormlight Books I Wanted To Illustrate Before The Fourth

upon morning reflection I've decided the ice looks decent and the helmet looks kinda sick but I failed to convey the cosmic horror of the watchful eye of jove. but I think that's because no earthly medium can capture jove's pitiless face, and certainly not the crude colors of a veteran like me

we honor our fallen comrades beneath jove's unblinking eye

me tagging when i first started posting to A03: ok i’ll tag the main characters, relationship, and content warnings.... maybe a little explanation of the plot? oh jeeze i hope that’s not too much...

me tagging now: welcome, readers, to the director’s cut (with commentary)

loved the colors of the flowers from conference so I just had to doodle them

yes girl. cry. let it out

Somebody described Marichat as the dramatic irony ship, and I've never heard anything more true in my life

They're both such liars.

Here's a version with no dialogue:

It just occurred to me that we've heard all the protagonists of Infinity Train sing:

Tulip sang for nearly half of episode four.

Jesse sang "Travel Friends" and Lake improvised on the same song mockingly.

Simon and Grace's VAs sang two lines each in "When I Look at You, I See Me".

Ryan and Min-Gi basically spent all of season four singing.

. . . I'm adding this to my looooong list of reasons to love this show.

I'm so bitter that we're not getting that Amelia-One season

Dear Cartoon Network, HBO Max, and whoever else is in charge of Infinity Train these days,

You have decided not to renew Infinity Train because the next season has no child entry point. Though this is a conclusion that makes sense, it is a decision that is largely unsupported and will lead to a great loss, both on your part and on the part of its audience.

Season five does not need a child entry point, because any children watching the show are already invested in the characters that will lead the season. They need no entry point because they have already entered. You do not need to worry about grabbing their attention, because Amelia and One-One have already grabbed it.

Yes, you could argue that since this is a new season, the show has to regain investment from the audience. And, as you believe children make up a large part of the audience, the show has to capture a child's interest. You believe children make up the majority of Infinity Train's audience because animation has always been considered a child's art form. Assuming this is true, then isn't the child entry point the very medium of the season? If the majority of the audience is children, that is because animation appeals to children. And if animation appeals to children, does that not make it a child entry point?

But the truth is, when it comes down to it, you don't need a child entry point. This is because Infinity Train appeals to adults and teenagers, not just children. This is not a weakness or a paradox; if anything, it is a strength. After all, children are not the ones who buy subscriptions—adults are. And it is guaranteed that the adults will be deeply invested in season five, child entry point or not.

You cancelled Infinity Train because the next season does not have a child entry point. But it does, in the form of familiar and beloved characters, as well as animation. And even if those don't count as entry points, the season does not need an entry point, because Infinity Train is not just a children's show, it is a people's show.

Sincerely,

a child who is already invested in season five, no entry point required

I was rewatching Voltron and I watched the scene where Pidge rambles to Allura about sweating a lot, and it hit me:

Pidge is short

Pidge sweats a lot

Pidge is always grumpy

Holy crap, she has celiac disease
