Hey gang! You can call me Koschei. Or Cal. Or anything, really.

Host of the Skeletal System, current frequent fronters are John Constantine, Jamie McCrimmon, the Doctor, and Jim Hawkins.

Hi @delgado-master love you <3

I’m a broke disabled transmasc and I’m currently absolutely fucking terrified about rent, if you want to help out with that I’m at leapingintodisaster on paypal and venmo.

Ao3 is here, I get sad and give all the sad thoughts to fictional characters: https://archiveofourown.org/users/skeletonnoises

Radically inclusive, pro-endo, and transandrophobia is real. I also do not give a shit about what other people ship and antis fucking scare me.

I’m back on my Doctor Who bullshit it’s my comfort show it’s my favorite thing and I will forever be having emotions over Charley Pollard. I’m also a massive anthropology nerd and I love to crochet and embroider.

Note: I do not publish random fundraising asks. That’s a hard boundary for me - I never have and I never will. I only reblog fundraisers if I personally know the people involved.

obviously not every cheesy chips is going to be like this, but why is it a majority of the time i see "cheesy chips" it looks like this and it's from the UK. i've seen like 10 different variations of fries with kraft singles just slapped on top of it. at least melt the goddamn cheese

MELT THE FUCKING CHEESE YOU ANIMALS

come on man

pissing me off

they're just doing this shit on purpose now

I think some of the dumbest Rick Riordan discourse I've ever seen is a post saying that Chiron is problematic because he's the trope of a wheelchair user who can secretly walk and is just using a wheelchair to hide. He is a centaur. Half of him is a horse. How else is he supposed to interact with modern society when he needs to. Even without the issues of mortals and the Mist only doing so much to hide things, he is a centaur. Do you know how big horses are. Can you imagine trying to access buildings as a horse. Trying to navigate a gas station or grocery store. He was a teacher do you think he could sit down at a desk. he'd be standing and blocking the whiteboard. I'd say that being half horse is an accessibility issue actually.

i think rickrolling is the only meme that gets objectively funnier with age. in 2009 you learned to anticipate it but in 2019 it happens just infreqently enough that i fall for it every single time

like people still make rage comics and doge jokes and shit but it’s always ironic (the real punchline is that you’re using an outdated format) or more in line with modern absurd internet humor. rickrolling is the only meme i can think of that’s been the exact same for a full decade- click on a link thinking you’re getting something else, get rick astley instead, and it’s still consistently funny

the more time passes the more foolish you feel for falling for a rickroll as well. Like darn I learnt about this prank 10+ years ago how did I just fall for it now,

Nooope. Nope, you can’t get me. I’m not clicking on that link and you can’t make me.

it’s honestly so, so fascinating—here’s a graph I found that estimates how many people have been rickrolled in the past decade!

Youtube themselves got rickrolled in December 2020

Most of the time I click the link knowing full well what to expect, because honestly it’s just a good happy feels song.

I have terrible news

I keep trying to post a picture of fig. A really bad one. But tumblr keeps giving me an error message. Maybe the world isnt ready

Im going to split it into 4ths and see if that works

FUCK YEAAAAAHHH

put rainbow laces on all my shoes recently which is fun and sexy but has the side effect that i have gotten multiple "i like your shoelaces" from strangers and like. i cant NOT "i stole them from the president" in return. just in case. but its recieved mostly awkward laughs and looks of confusion. embarrasing myself in public out here over my damn shoelaces.

it's crazy how many health services are harder to access when you're sick/disabled like hi yes if you want an appointment please make a phone call at 8am and then go to an in person appointment and then you may get referred to a specialist three hours away. this is surely fair and balanced yes yes.

Going from Marta who literally threw up every time she tried to lie to Helen who was game to go to her sister’s murderer’s private island dressed as her and manages to extract motives and opportunities from everyone basically on her own, to Jud, who keeps running off to confess at basically every opportunity must have given Benoit such incredible amounts of whiplash

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.
