Between Fantasy and Reality

This is my fandom blog where I reblog or post art and what not from things I like. Also will post personal experiences mostly dealing with video games I've been playing. Any gifs posted on here aren't mine, neither is most of the art.

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S FIRST FILM SOLELY PRODUCED BY THEIR STUDIO HAD TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS AS THEIR ANTAGONIST AND PROTAGONIST WHO, BY SOME FORM OF DEVIL MAGIC, HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FACES

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER

REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.

also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate

if a studio with 20-30 years of experience can manage this then SURELY an established studio with NEAR 100 YEARS of experience can maybe, just maybe, include a female that ISN’T a part of their formula

LAIKA !

[beetlejuicesgf]

Also paranormal had a canonically gay guy in it just saying

[onwardsmynoblesteve]

I feel the 16ft tall skeleton from Kubo certainly deserves a mention

[ruffboi-mags]

Laika are goddamn ARTISTS and MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT. Look at the animation on Kubo and tell me it doesn’t feel more like CGI than stop motion sometimes because it’s so smooth.

I love them so much.

[burlbread]

IT WAS REALLY THAT BIG

[fiddlymoon]

It really was that big!! I went to a Laika exhibit in 2018 and this took up almost an entire room alone!

Another room was mostly dedicated to the Coraline garden, for reference, the pumpkin eyeballs were about the size of a basketball each

There was so much crazy detail it was mind blowing!

God I wish I took more pictures and had a better camera back then cause it was the COOLEST EXHIBIT EVER!

I mean, who doesn’t love a wall full of faces??

[james-silvercat]

I am utterly in favour of walls covered in faces

Undo the Damage of Sitting

[artist-refs]

(Technically, this isn’t about saving your hands… but if you draw, you’re probably doing a lot of sitting, so…)

[screechythyng-deactivated202003]

This has such extreme shitpost energies but it’s 100% serious

[ceevee5]

Looks pretty useful for everyone endlessly working at home at their dining room table.

This could be the most important post I’ve ever shared. Please Share it with anyone who is or might be going through this terrible disease.

My mom has fairly severe respiratory issues and is recovering from joint replacement; her PT told her the same info about sleeping/sitting positions and how they impact the lungs. Fascinating.

[miss-sweetpotato]

Can someone rephrase what op said?im having trouble understanding it and i want to translate it for my relatives who just got covid because im worried they didnt get enough information

[moth-er--moth-er-deactivated202]

@miss-sweetpotato Here’s simplified list of OP’s post:

• Sleep on your stomach or on your side. Sleeping on your back is bad for your lungs

• When you sleep, set an alarm for everyone two hours, and at those times, get up, walk around a but, maybe wave your arms. You want to be moving.

• breath in through your nose and out through your mouth

• If you are sitting in a reclining chair, sit up straight. Remember: no laying on your back

• if you’re watching TV, get up and walk around every commercial. You want to move a lot to open up your lungs

• Eat at least 1 egg a day, along with avocado, asparagus, and banana. You want lots of potassium

• Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero, or anything with electrolytes. It is important to stay hydrated!

• Do not drink anything cold. Have it room temperature or warm. Water with lemon and honey, peppermint tea, and apple cider are good warm drinks

• No milk products or pork

• Vitamins D3, C, B, Zinc, and Probiotic One-Day are good for you

• Take Tylenol for a fever, Mucinex for getting the gunk out of your lungs, Pepcide for cramps, and Aspirin can help prevent blood clots

• Make a smoothie with blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea, and a few spoonfuls of penut butter

I hope this helped! Remember: wear a mask and stay 6 ft away from others!!

A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)

[thelamprey]

Holy shit this is awesome.

For any wheelchair users following me!

every few months I forget about this and then see it again and it is always one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out  it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.

They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.

Here is their website, if you want to learn more: https://omeotechnology.com/

This is so good. Makes me feel like I'm really helping.

Which I need, because this kind of sucks.

If you're staying home during #Quarantine2020 you're helping make things better than they would be otherwise

As you celebrate thanksgiving, know that the Trump administration is taking away 321 acres of land from the Mashpee-Wampanoag, the tribe that helped the pilgrims survive and were present at the first thanksgiving. Tell legislators to support the Mashpee Reservation Reaffirmation Act. ]

[cyborgoctopus]

For those who don’t live in Massachusetts, that is literally ALL THE LAND THEY HAVE! All of it. The state aims to make the entire ~3000 person tribe homeless.

[nerielle]

If you want more information the tribe themselves have a website for you to look at! Please spread the word and reach out to your networks so people are feeling specifically asked to act upon this… it is incumbent upon all of us to stand up for our Mashpee-Wampanoag siblings at this time. We MUST be their allies. We MUST uplift their voices and support what their asks are. 

We owe all Indigenous peoples in this country so much more than this… but this is a start.

Misha not giving a fudge about restrictions is my new kink (x)

[annenxf]

This is 1000% what I expected. I understand they chose to get an ending they could film with covid. However, I wish they didn't rush to make a ending with covid and just waited to finish what was originally planned.

Maybe one day they'll do an alternative ending that was the original planned ending for an anniversary.

Hi guys!

A couple of months ago I’ve lost my job because of the pandemic and I’ve started working as a full time freelance artist.

I specialise in illustration and character design, especially when it comes to pokemon and DnD. I can help with both the design and the conceptualisation of the character. I can also draw professional level artworks targetted to game designing.

Prices depend on what you want and the amount of details you want DM me for info

If you can please spread this around, I would really appreciate it!
