Pnf’s best character arc was buford going from ‘generic bully’ to ‘choatic weirdo’

This is the only good reply on this post everyone else go home

forget cannibalism it bums me out that i will probably never be able to ethically eat like, a flamingo

Penguin flippers, Kiwi breast, elephant trunk steak, that kind of stuff?

you jest but now I'm genuinely curious what penguin meat would taste like under all that blubber. would it retain any "bird" flavor or would it be more similar to marine mammals??? i don't actually want to eat a penguin to be clear, you've simply sparked my curiosity

My grandfather reported that they taste like fishy rubber boiled in motor oil. So bad that he only tried it once despite being on a ship in the Antarctic ocean for months on end. 1940s dry rations were preferable to fresh penguin.

Ok so I tried something similar today during work.

Pretty much most marine birds who mainly have fish in their diet taste pretty similar.

I tried a number of auk species (those include things like puffins, little auks, guillemots, razorbills ect.) And when boiled they both smell and taste kind of like wet Catfood and have dark meat.

Pretty gross and not reccomedable.

I could imagine its fair to assume penguin meat will not taste much different, though I can't give first hand accounts.

BUT i live in a place where people used to hunt and eat young gulls and they supposedly tasted good ( biggest lie ive ever heard).

I think with most of these marine bird species you really only eat them when you NEED to or go through a longer process of trying to get rid of the fishy taste by keeping them in milk baths or vinegar.

Poorly drawn Axew line

quite fond of that fraxure.

AU where Sauron literally pours all of his cruelty and malice and will to dominate all life into the One Ring...

And then just fucking stares at at it for five seconds before dropping it on the ground and leaving because without all that stuff he's Nice now.

Why does this sound like crackfic C.S. Lewis would write just to get back at Tolkien for disapproving of him putting a lamppost in Narnia

GEN 5 FULL POORLY DRAWN DEX

[before you say anything. I am NOT being mean to myself. that's just the name I picked for the series (yes there's more)].

I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes

Consider a vampire's reliance on blood as a metaphor for living paycheck-to-paycheck and depending on the kindness of others to get by, and the desparation that can make one slip into taking.

Terry Pratchett "The Fifth Elephant" has the best example of aristocratic high-powered werewolves I've ever seen. Their Castle has no weaponry because they've never needed it, it's great!

Me when the obviously doomed character doesn't get a happy ending

In the role swap AU Obi-Wan isn't a jedi, but he still uses the exact same browns and beiges.

Transcription of the text in alt text!

The Odyssey but Penelope has been slowly killing off suitors one by one via poisoning and staged accidents >>>

“And then, upon announcing to me that he could no longer stand to live with his love unrequited, hurled himself into the sea… that was the last thing he said to me, the last person to see him before his death... I was helplessly unable to stop this tragedy…”

“You pushed him off a cliff, my lady?”

“Yes I pushed him off a cliff”

Odysseus: so how many suitors are we dealing with?

Telemachus: well there were 108 at the start but they’ve been reduced to 74

Odysseus: oh some of them left? We are still outnumbered

Eurymeus: actually it’s now only 43. Penelope took out a lot more while you were gone Telemachus

Odysseus: Penelope has been killing them?

Eurymaus: well there has been a lot of… suspicious accidents

Telemachus: My favourite was the guy who fell down three flights of stairs and got impaled on two swords in the process

@dootznbootz come get yall juice :D

Look, she's of naiad descent. It's not her fault some people can't swim.

Odysseus, tears in his eyes: That's my girl!

forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that

yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"

Sneefin and Snorfin time at the Hertfordshire Zoo

Joy and whimsy detected! These Sengi are joyful and whimsical!

why watch big budget hollywood action movies when you can just watch japanese children’s shows

Crazy how much of that was just one, continuous shot.

Man, the TV critics all lost their shit over Mr. Robot’s uber-prestige Sam Esmail gimmick episodes, but meanwhile sentai can just do this, no prestige needed. See also: One Cut of the Dead.

Also the way they didn’t even bother justifying or disguising the safety crash pad is admirable. More shows should do that.

Also, props to them for making everyone look competent. Yeah, it’s clear that the heroes would wipe the floor with any of the villains in a one-on-one fight, but the villains aren’t actually trying to defeat them: they dramatically outnumber the heroes, and all they need to do (apparently) is for one of them to get away with the MacGuffin, and that’s a much more tenable goal. Having the extended action sequence also be an intense game of keep-away makes it much more interesting than your typical “everyone beats each other up” fight

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.

@transparent-plastic-robotgirl check it out

omg that's cool as heck!!! 🌸
