some of yall haven’t seen namek take 71 episodes and it really shows.
I dont just mean that in the meme way i legit mean that because people these days call every episode where the plot isnt immediately solved, especially in the steven universe fandom. Steven universe has always been a slow burn with things being set up for a bigger pay off in the future. Filler is an episode in which nothing happens that contributes to the plot. where the people are in the same position they were when they started with no change whatsoever. escapism isnt filler because now they have backup on the way. shut the fuck up with yalls self entitled instant gratification ass. if yall wanna complain about filler go watch the original dragonball Z
There is some difference, mostly in release schedule. Yes the original airing of Dragon Ball Z had a lot of filler and the entirety of the Namek saga too roughly 70 episodes, but they also aired almost weekly and consistently. The same can’t be said for Steven Universe which is where much of the frustration comes from.
People bitch without reason all the time over the stupidest stuff, but it is less frustrating having to wait through a couple weeks of filler when you know the plot will resume in a couple weeks than it is to wait months on end to maybe get a handful of episodes, and have several of those be filler, especially when that’s the only time the series is shown period.
I’m not going to dispute the premise or the figures, but the parallel is not an exact one.
Costs of living were very different in the 1840s, and the relative value of money was higher. However. Victorian clerks were regularly required to work 10-12 hour days - no ovetime pay - and the only day they were allowed off was Sunday. So Cratchit was being paid 15 shillings a week for 60 hours of work.
Taking the figure of $27,574 above, that works out to about $13.25 an hour, if Bob Cratchit worked 40 hours a week.
But at the more likely 60 hours a week, he earned $8.84 an hour.
So why am I bringing this up, if I’m not quibbling with the premise?
Because $8.84/hour IS STILL MORE THAN THE U.S. FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE.
Because we’ve had over a hundred years of labor agitating for a 40-hour work week and a legal minimum wage. People have fought and bled and been imprisoned and been killed to gain us these.
And we must never forget that.
Today I learned Ebenezer Scrooge was a jerk but not enough of a jerk to pay his workers minimum wage and tbh that’s kinda fucked me up.
Inbox was nuked following the Purge, and I’m hoping for some inspiration to get back into drawing. Requests/suggestions are welcome. Furry, pony, TF, what have you.

I can appreciate that, because it’s something I struggle with regularly and it’s a big part of why I don’t have too many friends offline. In general I wouldn’t worry about messing things up with me, you typically have to try to make me mad.
With Doomsday quickly approaching, now’s the time to send everyone confessions/messages that you’ve been too shy to send in the past. It could very well be now or never…
