LOOK AT OUR THREE GAY SHIPS IN THE STEVEN UNIVERSE COMICS
There’s no reason for anyone over the age of 21 to be having a conversation with anyone under the age of 18
“For the last time son, I wont talk to you.”
“im sorry students, but this is the last time im gonna say this. Stop trying to talk to me”
“I’m afraid I can’t hire you, I cannot speak to you.”
“I would tell that kid to get off my lawn, but society isn’t ready yet”
“my new born baby just said it’s first word but I’m not trying to hear that”
“hello 911?!? help my parents are in a burnin build-”
“i dunnoo kid….you sound just a little young and….idk…. im not really feelin too comfortable with this” *hangs up*
Music Video Shows Singer’s Crazy Retouching Transformation
If anybody is curious how this is done, it isn’t actually retouching. More of a simulation. They took four videos. The first was underexposed and under-saturated. The singer was wearing no makeup. The subsequent videos were shot with different levels of makeup added on. They would add more flattering lighting and use different practical effects to give her a more glamorous look. Then in After Effects they synced up all the videos and used tracking to line her up perfectly. The no-makeup video was the top layer. Then they would erase bits of the top layer to show the video underneath. And then they did some digital coloring effects to the final version. The truth is, actual retouching can go much, much farther and is quite a bit scarier. It is just not possible to represent that in a video, so I think they did an incredible job simulating it.
I often think about the power of retouching in my photos. I have over a decade of experience in photoshop and if I wanted to, I could create those pore-less “perfect” images you might see on the cover of Vogue. I certainly think removing blemishes and a few distracting bits is okay. You want to present the best version of the person while still being realistic. But when you alter a person’s appearance to the point where they are no longer themselves, I think that is much too far.
Some say they want photos not to be retouched at all, and I think that is a mistake. Modern digital cameras can capture so much detail that they can show things even the human eye could not detect. Sometimes you have to dial back that detail to keep things authentic.
Knowing where the line is… knowing when you have gone too far… that can be tricky. I think as photographers and digital artists we need to be very conscious of this power we can wield. It’s okay to not look perfect. Honestly I think perfection is boring. Everyone ends up looking the same. I think it is our imperfections that make us unique. They make us beautiful. Distorting that beauty and calling it perfection is a problem. It is a practice that needs to stop. So like I said, present the best version of your subject, but don’t turn them into someone else to fit some twisted ideal.

So, Voltron has EIGHT Seasons, at the very least.
8 seasons. seasons= 7 letters. 8 + 7 = 15. And we are meant to have 5 paladins. 15 + 5 = 20
If we follow the letters in the word ‘paladin’ and each letter corresponds to a number (A=1, B=2, etc.)
P=16, A=1, L=12, A=1, D=4, I=9, N=14
16+1+12+1+4+9+14=57
And if we add these to the previous number… 57+20= 77
Coran and Allura were in that pod for 10,000 years. If we divide 10,000 by 77, we get 129.87 aka 130.
If we subtract the 7 main characters, as well as Zarkon and Haggar- which makes 9 characters in total- from the 130 we have, we will get 121.
As you can guess, a phrase can be made from those numbers, if we follow the sequence accordingly.
K=11, L=12, A=1, N=14, C=3, E=5
I=9, S=19
C=3, A=1, N=14, O=15, N=14
11+12+1+14+3+5+9+19+3+1+14+15+14 = 121
so what i’m saying is
