I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up "anime cabbage" I found the source.

Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.

A complaint, apparently in a paper.

The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.

And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.

I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.

Managed to track down a high quality photo of r/place prior to the destruction for those who want it. May it rest in internet history.

Can someone explain what this is and why everyone was obsessed with it for a few days because I kept seeing it referenced with no context

[beanabina]

r/place was an April fool's event put on by Reddit (first in 2017, then again this year in 2022) where a blank canvas opened up on April 1 where users could place one single pixel, once every five minutes. Pixels would overwrite anything placed in that same spot previously, with the canvas constantly changing in flux. Hundreds of communities and hundreds of thousands of people came together to build incredible pixel art, defend their little swaths of territory on the canvas from griefing, form alliances with nearby territory to protect each other's artwork, and hide lots and lots (and I mean lots) of amogus characters.

After 3 days of war, fighting bots, twitch streamers, and griefers, this was the final canvas. On April 4th the only pixel that could be placed was white, and the canvas quickly reverted back to a blank slate, with only screenshots like this to commemorate what hundreds of thousands of people came together to create.

Van Gogh actually painted Starry Night while receiving treatment in a hospital for his depression. In fact, most, if not all, of his most successful paintings were done while he was receiving treatment of some sort. When he wasn't, he often couldn't bring himself to get out of bed at all, let alone paint.

A bit oversimplified perhaps, but the upgrade you're looking for is likely treatment.

Hi! I saw your post about how you were an art therapy intern. I'm a phyc/theater student considering getting training as a drama therapist and was wondering what drew you to art therapy and what kind of person you would recommend pursue it. Do you find it's more therapy or more art? Do you ever work with drama therapists? Also, what kind of degrees do you have? Thank you!

- From a tense and unsure student

Hello! Thanks for reaching out; you brought some good questions :) Just for some background, I am currently a registered art therapist (ATR), working towards completing my board certification (ATR-BC), and I also hold licensure from my state. I did a double major in psychology and neuroscience with a minor in child and adolescent mental health studies for my undergraduate degree, and my master’s degree is in art therapy.

Across all creative art therapy modalities, the majority of work on the clinician’s part is psychological/therapeutic. Practical knowledge of the artistic medium is essential because it helps the clinician decide what interventions would be helpful and effective for their clients, but the therapist’s job before, during, and after sessions mostly focuses on client evaluation+analysis, treatment planning, case management, etc. While I’ve known art therapists who have come from all walks of life, a strong creative arts therapy candidate should be equally well-versed in both their creative medium AND their foundational psychology training.

Some workplaces (like hospitals, youth centers, agencies) hire a variety of creative arts therapists, so drama therapists can find themselves working along arts therapists, music therapists, dance therapists, and the like. Of course, each modality is distinct and requires specialized training to practice, but there can also be a lot of interdisciplinary crossover of the different therapies depending on your client population (ex., kids love to create stories in art therapy and often want to act them out and even create costumes and props, so drama therapy elements get blended in). We also have events like Creative Arts Therapies Day/Week where we can learn from each other’s disciplines and bring general awareness to our field.

If you want to learn more about whether drama therapy would be a good fit for you, I think it might be a good idea for you to attend an open house/information session for a drama therapy program you have interest in. There is no pressure or expectation of commitment for anyone who attends these events, so it can be an opportunity for you to get a closer look at what drama therapy is. If there aren’t any open houses available, you can also directly email the program director/coordinator/appropriate department personnel and ask for a PDF of the information packet they give out at info sessions. Creative arts therapies programs tend to be small, so the faculty are usually more than happy to answer questions from anyone curious about the field.

Sorry for such a long answer, but I hope that some of this may be helpful to you! I wish you the best of luck as you navigate your way forward 😊
