When a character doesn’t realize they’ve been, like, shot or whatever and they hand brushes against their side and comes away wet with blood, and they’re just staring at it like wtf is this and then their knees just totally give out on them and they sink down, maybe gasping a little as the reality finally hits them. That’s good stuff.
I see that, and raise you a character who knows they’ve been shot, but waits until the rest of their crew is out of sight to put their hand against the slowly spreading stain of blood on their shirt, then trying to steady their breathing so they can follow without letting on how injured they are.
Okay but like the character who doesn’t realize they’ve been hurt trying to see if everyone else is okay only to slowly realize that everyone is looking at them with mounting horror. Then they touch their side to find it’s wet and oh no
all 3 of you are evil but i admire, respect, and fear you
Do you wanna hear one of the funniest fucken stories?
Pls do tell
So in my town there is this emo satanist community and at some point a really influential emo dude called Raven lived here. Like every emo in Romania knew him because he was somehow the edgiest of them all. He was also a gigantic incel, but still tried to flirt with every goth girl on sight. At some point when he was in his last year of high school, before leaving for college, he tried to hit on an 11 yo girl(gross). It made her rlly uncomfortable. What Raven didn’t know was that this girl’s cousin was the strongest dude in town-2 meters tall, super bulky, literally looked like a mountain. So the girl told her buff cousin what Raven looked like, and one time, while Buff guy was at work, he spotted Raven. Now, funny enough, Buff Guy worked at a children’s playground, and he was dressed up as a clown that day. So he just walked up to Raven, patted him on the shoulder and asked: “Have you ever been beaten up by a clown?” and Raven said, “N-no”. To which Buff Guy replied :“It’s fine. Because you will be.”
there is no possible way to predict the many directions this post took
1st Image: A screenshot of an instagram post by user rioxofia of a group of LGBTQ members of the refugee/migrant caravan, reading:
URGENT: You can send funds directly to the queer and trans migrants on the caravan headed towards the US border through Venmo [at] dsf2018.
joshuaobawole and [user] rflotte are trusted organizers who are currently in Mexico and personally connected with this group of over 70 queer and trans migrants risking their lives to make it to the US. They are giving CASH IN HAND to these travelers, recent donations last night helped secure two buses so sick [the screencap cuts off here].
2nd Image: A screenshot of an instagram story by user radical_herbalism of a street intersection with text on top, reading:
It’s becoming harder to get donations across the border. Border patrol is putting fines of $50-100 for bringing over things like clothes and tents. What we need is $$$ so we can purchase tents, backpacks, and water here in Tijuana. Please Venmo [at] kaszandra
Please share!

Comrades! My dear friend Josh Allen & other LGBTQ organizers are in Mexico City giving out supplies to queer & trans folks in the caravan.
Please donate & help them buy more supplies to give out!
Yesterday Joshua Allen (11/27/18) confirmed to me on instagram that they are planning a trip to Tijuana soon, and still taking donations at their Venmo (linked at the source) and Cashapp!
this is a sequel to my last post about my gf needing help
my girlfriend is a chronically ill trans girl living in a physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive household. today, her mother shattered her phone. she’s expressly forbidden from buying a new one on her own accord.
to fix the screen, she needs around 100$.
she’s also paying for rent, as well as feeding children in her home, all on her own. if this sounds familiar, she’s made a donation post on her own blog in the past, im posting this now because i have more followers
I don’t know who Megan Kelly is but I wanna piss her off
dis bitch
“Verifiable fact” 😭😂
I’d PISS ON HER tbh
btw Saint Nicholas, whom Santa Claus is based on, was a black guy
and we don’t know exactly what jesus looked like, but here’s an artistic reconstruction of an average 20-something male from his ethnic group at the time
DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING WHITE TO YOU
I want this post everywhere
jesus was represented more or less accurately as an ethnically jewish arab man up until the reign of pope alexander vi, in the late 15th century. since he was viciously persecuting roman jews during this time, alexander wanted to make them less sympathetic to the public, and did so in part by ordering that portrayals of jesus be based off of his son, cesare borgia.
the reason “jesus is white” is because someone purposefully attempted to alter the perception of history to benefit his goal of persecuting a targeted ethnic group.
Wow, more proof the Borgias were trash.
Saint Nicholas was born in Myra, a town in what is now Turkey. That’s where what we deem to be his remains were found. This is where we know he was born. And this is a verifiable fact. So like, at a bare minimum, the assumption should be that he would be similar to the ethnic groups found in Turkey. And unsurprisingly, not much in the way of Northern Europeans
If I type ’@ tumblr’ without the space and then hit the spacebar after, my app crashes. Every time.
holy shit, this works and is insane
love this website
Also notable: @tumblr is an actual account, last updated in 2014, but it’s not possible to tag it, even on desktop. They must have applied some sort of hack to that specific username for some reason.
I also discovered that Tumblr did not reserve the username @admin. There is a blog there, which is also impossible to tag, although attempting to do so doesn’t crash the mobile app.
Me to american animation: I know your stories are great buy why does your animation suck so bad?
American animation: We have to create simplified characters to make the movement faster and more creative and interesting.
Me glancing at Japan:
Me: k.
Hey you know what studios do in America? Due to animators unionizing, instead of paying all the animators proper wage they started sending animation to be done over seas to lower labor costs. Now most studios’ animation are shipped to Korea and China and etc., which means the designs for the characters have to be simplified for easy character animation. Not to mention the history of American animation overall and how the American cartoon style has led towards more simplified styles over the years.
Also animation in Japan, while it does have plenty sakuga stuff, are actually just budget dumps for the best fight scenes. During normal scenes, characters can be very static and has a lot of holds. There’s also the mouth-flapping thing that a lot of animators in America detest. Everything is revolved around budgets for both countries. For America, to pay animators working wages they decided to cut costs and ship labor overseas. For Japan it means terrible working hours and labor, where plenty of animators have fallen ill or even die in their own cubicles.
So watch your fucking language and learn animation history. People like you are the reason why a lot of studios are cutting costs on their workers in America.
also cool of you to compare comedy scenes to action scenes. Like, it really does come down to the money, but let’s compare apples to apples
Action scene in an American animated adventure show
Action scene in an American animated adventure move (where the budget will be higher)
Low budget Japanese animation (though I’ll grant it’s also dated, it’s what I had):
Hell, these drama moments from a comedy show aren’t half bad
There’s another bigger problem here to my mind:
Visual style is not the same thing as Animation.
Like…Garnet’s wedding dance from “Reunited” is actually very NICELY animated! It’s fluid, it’s dynamic, it’s expressive! It does the thing animation is supposed to do and uses Motion to communicate Narrative.
Buuuuuuuut Garnet’s got a big goofy grin on, her proportions are not entirely “on model” (for the sake of facilitating the big expressive dancing) and the perspective is relatively flat, erego it is “bad” animation.
Except that all of those things are and have been from the very start deliberate aspects of “Steven Universe”’s visual aesthetic. An aesthetic that is connected to the show’s animation by virtue of having that aspect in mind at a design level, yes, but it’s not really the same thing.
The OP’s problem isn’t about animation, but stylistic preference. And that’s a preference which they have every right to! But it isn’t something that can be conflated with nor draped in the supposedly objective legitimacy of citing the animation itself as bad.
