I love this picture because nobody is in any kind of recognizable fencing stance.

Adi Gallia is holding a boquet for a Prom pic.

Mace is about to knock a curveball into the stands

Yoda is swinging a broom at a spider on the ceiling

Ki-Adi-Muni is taking a creepy tinder selfie

Obi-wan is on Coruscant’s next Top Model and Space-Tyra has just told him “Play golf, but make it Fashion”

And Anakin Skywalker is grinding his flat ass on an stripper pole.

[anentirestarwar]

To be fair, all of these are entirely in character.

[ranty9000]

Most of these don’t even match the actual lightsaber combat forms lol

[kurtssingh]

The descriptions are so hilarious I have to do this. XDDDDD

"I miss 2D animation, 3D is so lifeless!"

No, no - from an avid and avowed lifelong 2D animation lover - what you miss is stylization.

Something animated to be "hyperrealist" isn't appealing to me anymore because it all starts to look very... samey. It'll age.

But if you have a proper sense of your style...

[terracrafty]

the second gif is stop-motion dumbass

[bodhrancomedy]

Stop motion is a type of 3D animation dumbass

[noodlefiasco]

No it's not. 3D animation is created using computer animation programs.

Stop motion is created using physical puppets and sets, all manipulated by hand to create the frames.

They're two different mediums.

[bodhrancomedy]

Are these both examples of 2D animation?

Because The Sword in the Stone was drawn on physical paper whereas Song of the Sea was not.

(especially the backgrounds because you physically cannot put that many layers of watercolour on paper without it dissolving).

The techniques, however, are fundamentally the same - you draw each frame and then you layer and flip them very fast. (Massively oversimplified)

3D animation for both CGI and stop-motion both require you to build a model and a set and then move them. It’s not just running a computer program, you have to build that program in the first place and you have to build and layer a new character just the same as stop-motion.

“But there can be presets”, stop-motion has presets too - swappable faces and heads for example.

Yes, different mediums, but not different animation techniques. Both are 3D animations.

3D stands for three dimensional. It does not mean Computer Generated Images - CGI.

Now, you don’t have to agree with my logic - but that is why I included Pinocchio because I think it’s important to note that 3D animation can include stop-motion and claymation and that we often unfairly deride CGI when it’s just as much as an art form.

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.

Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.

Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.

Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE

[littlegreydove]

Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat ™ but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process

[systlin]

You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years. 

And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and they’re panting for air like like they’re about to die. I’ve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way. 

Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build. 

No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them. 

And they’re fast. Like, unfair fast. 

Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain.

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner--I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

[hamptercatapult]

great poast every one👍

[shirecorn]

I have drawn him.... The High Geologist

[syberfire117]

Can’t believe he’s ace

[shirecorn]

He is now And here’s the photo evidence:

[aphorisnt]

hey guys...https://twitter.com/MatthewLillard/status/1322648148364324864 so does this make it canon?

[shirecorn]

the high geologist has ascended

[ethanrayne]

every time i see this post it gets.... better? but also weirder.

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

love when a fan loves a piece of media so much they pursue it

"Man I sure do love this show about people and exploring space, I wish i could do that! .......... I am gonna do that"

This is her on the ISS in her own Star Trek uniform.

[thresholdbb]

I feel like it should be pointed out that she was making a specific Janeway reference here too. Her caption was, "There's coffee in that nebula' ... ehm, I mean... in that #Dragon" because the Dragon spacecraft was delivering the first espresso machine designed to work in zero gravity to the ISS
