My coworker flips his shit every time I include a ternary operator in a PR. He also insists on refactoring any block of code longer than two lines into its own function, even when it’s only used once.
He is not well liked.
This is my favorite type of one-shot. Profoundly casual, and yet casually profound. 10/10
I’m a writer rather than an artist, but I think I experience some similar frustration when I’m working on stories of my own. I know how I want the story to go in my head, but when I put pen to paper it comes out wrong somehow, or just not quite how I imagined it, and I end up scrapping it and starting over a million times.
I don’t know how feasible this advice is for art, but I can share a lesson I’ve learned the hard way: Just put something on the paper. That’s all you need to do. Even if you hate it, at least it’s something. Once you’ve got something, you can work with it, mold it into the shape you want it to be, or at least something close. The temptation to edit your work as you create it is powerful, but it must be avoided at all costs. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Like I said, I’m not sure how well that advice transfers over to drawing/visual art (or maybe I just completely misunderstood the issue in the first place, lol), but I hope that helped somehow 🙂
“Bleach-blonde fuckboi” had me cackling
Oh damn, you’re definitely right about Fairy Tail. It’s been so long since I’ve watched it I completely forgot about all the fanservice. It’s bizarre though, because if it wasn’t for that it’d fit right in with other “Saturday morning” kids anime like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon
My Hero Academia is also violent, but it’s a bit less graphic than Demon Slayer, and it’s themed around super heroes/villains so the concept may be more approachable for a child. It’s one of my personal favorites, but fair warning: The themes do get somewhat more mature as the show goes on.
If your kid has an interest in science, Dr. Stone could be a great fit. Contains some violence, but it’s mostly about a super genius recreating modern technology using primitive resources after an apocalypse.
Another one in the science vein, Cells at Work tells the story of anthropomorphic cells living and doing their jobs in a human body. Again, some violence, but it’s mostly cartoonish and shouldn’t be much of a worry for a kid.
Fairy Tail is also a good choice, especially since its audience skews younger than the other recs I’ve given here. It follows a group of wizards at a famous guild as they take on quests and go on adventures. Very kid-friendly with a huge backlog of episodes.
On second thought, maybe give Fairy Tail a miss due to the fanservice. I apparently blocked all those scenes from my memory when watching as a kid.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
