Yes, it looks like long grass weaved into fabric! I also like the green leather top piece, it reminds me of the pixie/fairy stories from the 2000's - perfect for a young forest boy! :D

Yes, if anything, there's a bit too much detail. It is nice that they're able to do that now, though!

Actually I made a video about this very topic (how an oot remake should/could look) two years ago! If you love Ocarina of Time and/or Last Unicorn, I highly recommend you watch it! I worked very hard on it :)

....well I like the OOT remake's artstyle. I think it looks really pretty and full of life! :) I like the different choices they made, even if I wouldn't have made some of them. But hey guess what? If you prefer a more faithful recreation, um... this isn't the first time they've redone this title!

-Ah! Got it. The biggest difference is that garbage is the byproduct or the end result of something that has/had value. Slop, right out of the gate of its creation, has no value. It is brought into this world as completely worthless.

E.J. Smith ✨ Read Island Reverie! @ejsmith145.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
It's such a doomer term that just reads as "hey guys! this thing has literally no value on this Earth (because I said so btw), and if you like it you're an idiot!"

E.J. Smith ✨ Read Island Reverie! @ejsmith145.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
YES exactly!!! Any time another "__slop" word is created and used with that current smug confidence you see everywhere, my eyes want to roll out of my skull...!!!!

E.J. Smith ✨ Read Island Reverie! @ejsmith145.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Sure, history repeats itself - i remember jokingly calling my art "garbage". But I don't know - "garbage" feels subjective. One man's trash and all that. "Slop" is objective. You don't go into a creative endeavor to make slop. Slop is churned out by soulless corporations. It's a damning term.

To call human art "slop" is antithetical to art itself. Art, in its creation, is inherently imbued with meaning. I've seen other artists refer to their own stuff with this slop suffix, for God's sake! That doesn't make me laugh. It just bums me out that you'd put down your work like that for a joke.

E.J. Smith ✨ Read Island Reverie! @ejsmith145.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Now is not the time to give into irony-poison and start using "slop" as a suffix to attach to things you deem unworthy. "slop" means something that is churned out with no inherent value. I'm sorry, I'm usually not so grandiose - but the way this term has been seeded into current slang is disturbing.

E.J. Smith ✨ Read Island Reverie! @ejsmith145.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I could write a whole (video?) essay on this - and maybe will to further its reach - but I am begging people, especially in this current age, to please stop calling human made art "slop". Guys - we have to lift up the works of fellow man now more than ever.

Same with people saying storytime animators fell off, or are "cooked" now. Literally what are you talking about..??? Oh they have teams of artists now who are getting paid career experience to widen their portfolio and contribute incredible stuff to their respective channels, boo hoo

SayoLara finale prediction
Fan art for the anime series Goodbye, Lara (2026) parodying a scene from The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004). Lara and Mari are standing on a beach, drawn much smaller than normal, gazing up past the frame. Mari is wearing her boxing gloves. An off-screen figure says, "I can take you there!" to which Lara replies, "Who are you?" We then see a low angle shot of a man in swim trunks, rendered in a much more realistic style. Lara's dagger hovers distantly in the sky behind him. "I'm David Hasselhoff," the man says. The scene ends with Lara smiling and throwing her fists up in the air in celebration while Mari holds her boxing gloves over her chest, both shouting "HOORAY!" in unison.

Imagine trying to come up with snappy wordplay during a government speech and thinking "ah yes perfect time to use a dehumanizing slur for aliteration" fuck you.

Deeply pathetic and disturbing. The way things have gotten so bad that gov. officials proudly saying slurs in speeches is practically a footnote. Healthcare for us trans people is not wasted expenses, or hardly any expenses in the grand scheme of things. You just hate our fucking guts for existing.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."
