We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called "technology" at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe…

— Ursula K. Le Guin, from “A Rant About ‘Technology’”

the thing about teaching middle school in the current day and age is that it makes you say the most absurd things in order to engage with students on their level. like yeah sure caesar was a real rizzler. now can we lock in and finish these last few sentences before class is over. one of my colleagues has stuffed animals that the kids can keep on their desk but they have to ask in french if they can have the animal and the other day i heard a student asking if he could have the among us plush named sussy rouge

Even the person you despise the most is created in God’s image

I find it so frustrating when people say that a fault of miraculous is that the characters don’t have more outfits. (A writing/design fault) like that’s not a completely normal thing for cartoons.

Giving a character multiple outfits isn’t as easy as just giving it to them. It needs to go through a character designer, a turn around, then modelling, then texturing, (in miraculous’ case) all of which costs money. It doesn’t make sense in most cases for shows to devote that level investment just to give a character more variety when let’s be real, it’s not necessary. That’s why in 2D productions characters can often get multiple outfits because it is slightly less costly (you really only need to come up with the design and make a turn around).

Why do you think the show only gives the character a new outfit when it’s relevant to the plot? Or when it would be weird not to? It’s not that it would be hard to do. It’s not that they don’t want too, it’s that it would cost more money to. Money executives aren’t willing to give.

Every human person possesses an infinite dignity, inalienably grounded in his or her very being, which prevails in and beyond every circumstance, state, or situation the person may ever encounter. This principle, which is fully recognizable even by reason alone, underlies the primacy of the human person and the protection of human rights. In the light of Revelation, the Church resolutely reiterates and confirms the ontological dignity of the human person, created in the image and likeness of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. From this truth, the Church draws the reasons for her commitment to the weak and those less endowed with power, always insisting on “the primacy of the human person and the defense of his or her dignity beyond every circumstance.”
