Today’s aesthetic: fic that spends several thousand words establishing Kink World, the world structured entirely around the author’s excruciatingly specific kink, does one sex scene in like chapter two, then spends the next thirty chapters interrogating the sociopolitical implications of Kink World.

Be prepared to get comments like “Your hair is so pretty. You wrote her hair so pretty. Why is she so pretty?” And “Your writing is so good. I can really tell what he’s saying and oh he smells so nice. That’s a cool looking bag. Your beta has awesome shoes I bet. What’s her name?”

Let the endless compliment cycle begin.

I’m so into this

It’s five years later, I just saw this pop up on my feed, and I’m still so into this

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory

every bi girl out there needs a man hating lesbian best friend to remind her that men ain’t shit and to get angry at them on her behalf when she’s too sentimental to

it’s exactly like the “I hate ur parents lmao” post. YOU may have a complicated intrapersonal relationship with this dude and who he was and what he meant to you, but I sure as hell don’t! I’m getting the hammers. we’re smashing his car

this is the most correct tag anyone has ever left on one of my posts. 100%

I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

oh shit i almost missed it!

you’ll spend so long in deep discussions of gender online and then go talk to someone in your real life family and find out they still havent gotten past “women can be good at things” and its like oh okay jesus christ i forgot some people are still on the baby steps huh

the concept of us being in 2026 and dan and phil are allowed to make jokes about having such loud sex together in their hotel room at vidcon that it would disturb hank green next door. how did we get here.

I fully understand this isn’t everyone, but love the sect of m/m shippers who don’t want to be inserted into the relationship at all. dont want to fuck them, don’t want x/reader. this isn’t about me it’s about my boys being in situations and then fucking about it. I’m barely a fly on the wall im not even here.
