Anthropology and Folklore for Writers of Fictional Worlds

[annatheprincess-blog]

do people realize if they included poc in frozen, they would most likely have to be slaves

it’s the same issue with brave, it’s not historically accurate sorry

[saturnglimmer]

you might benefit from checking out medievalpoc. it’s a blog dedicated to debunking the common but incorrect idea that poc didn’t exist in Europe before the Enlightenment (~late 1600s)

I don’t mean to condescend, really. it’s just that the “historical accuracy” argument is not actually based in fact and I wish more people knew that.

ooh yeah i saw that ikillnazisforfun made a good response regarding this too

see i never learned any of this but yknow i don’t think anyone does at this point but yeah you get my point i was always taught poc were slaves at any given time before the 1850s yknow

but thank you for not being an asshat about this and i will happily go through this blog

Just in case anyone’s wondering why an art history blog has about 15 posts about a Disney movie on it right now.

Read the bolded.

This is why this blog exists.

Just found this tumblr recently and I just want to say I really enjoy your work and look forward to more! I appreciate how much effort it takes to make these things (research and editing!) and I just want you to know how wonderful of a job you're doing and to keep it up! :D

That is so sweet of you! Thanks so much! I have so many video plans I want to implement but ugh time. I think I’m on 3 current half-edited videos? ffff

Edit: I feel like I should mention that blankd here is the creator of deSTRESS a comic that I discovered well into it's run and will be revisiting when I get around to that episode <3

i'm deeply sorry for my idiocy but i can't manage to like or reblog things on your theme, could you tell me what i'm doing wrong? :(

You are absolutely not an idiot, anon. In fact I am. As much as I love this theme, I’m probably going to have to get rid of it temporarily - because I have been trying to track down the HTML or JavaScript code to re-install a reblog button on this theme without success. I can’t even find a theme with a similar aesthetic that does have a prominent reblog button. The day that I can do this full-time, I’ll sit down and craft one of my own from scratch.

From what I can tell on this one, you have to be on the Notes page in order to reblog, and that is just plain silly. So consider the theme gone for now. :)

Pre-Blip Bloopers

The underlying 'theme' to this episode is the true story of how I tracked down the family copy of Final Cut Express after a call to my brother, which eventually led to support for a new camera and microphone. :')

Still, learning to laugh at myself has been one of my biggest struggles, so I hope you get a laugh as well!

WC003 - Back To School Month Begins!

Frudence kicks off her first theme month with a dash of retro cheese and a healthy disclaimer for those who were glad to leave school behind. This is, after all, a series about resources for webcomic creators.

[culturecoacher]

I just discovered your series at the TGWTG blogs, and I can't seem to find a way to contact you other than here. (Email or something, please?)

[email protected] works :)

GenCon 2013

WOW folks, Saturday was an intense day! Woke up at 5AM, left by 6AM, got into Indy around 9:30AM, conducted 4 interviews, got some swag in Exhibit Hall, and finally got in a Pathfinder game that ran until 11PM. We landed back home close to 3AM Sunday morning. Needless to say, I was trashed today.

I was able to caption and render 90% of the first interview to be posted, but alas I do have to work tomorrow morning. It should definitely be up tomorrow night and I'll be sprinkling the rest in 2-5 day increments, i.e. shorter than normal episodes take.

First up: Erfworld's creator Rob!

[culturecoacher]

On the road!

Headed out for the big day at GenCon! Will any of you webcomic creators be there? :)

Episode 03 Progress Report

13:24 into the first pass of the video and that's all I can accomplish before GenCon. I really wanted to have it up on Sunday when we get back, buuut that's unlikely now. :( I had to spend a fair bit of time testing out the new microphone.

Hopefully one of the interviews from the con will be short enough to render for an update.

[culturecoacher]

Time to take the new mic for a spin before GenCon. Are any webcomic artists going to be there? :D
