As much as I hate to admit it, 2001 was 22 years ago now...

I've been slowly working my way through the Mabinogion. The tales in it are interesting, but the writing is so disjointed, confusing, and unengaging. The medieval translation doesn't help...
I always loved the amount of time Tolkien spends describing cute guys. Like, he's very equal opportunities when someone's pretty.
Eye lights were common back in the day because film stocks were extremely slow (needed a lot of light to expose properly). It's always important to ensure eyes are well lit, since they're so important for expression, even if it's a bit overdone here.
I'm not OP, but I feel like I want to add on to this if that's alright. I think it's often easy to get into this mindset when a trend seems to overtake a lot of the industry. For instance, personally I've noticed a common game that seems to get churned out a lot in recent years: it's open world, but has nothing in it and is given light RPG elements that don't really add anything. That doesn't mean every game is like that, of course, but I think it can be easy to fixate on what we're tired of seeing. Eventually, someone will come up with a new trend, and the empty open world games will fade out, and the cycle will continue as it always has. It's also interesting to point out that humans tend to remember the past more fondly, so it's easy to remember old gems and ignore the flops. Anyway, thanks for entertaining my ramble.
I've honestly never understood the point of Instagram. It somehow has a worse algorithm than Twitter...
It looks pretty! I think I'll look for a place with a garden when my tenancy ends!
