The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle (Source: Cartoon Brew)

spootywabbit

I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks.

kaseylgifford

I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go. Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes. Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.

Milt Khal was a MASTER.

And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.

I’ve got mad respect for the effort that goes into taking care and styling these hair types 💜

Considering black ladies and girls start a intense hair routine as early as three, they get all my respect.

I honestly believe the whole “adults require less sleep” thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism

mikkeneko

It is.

i honestly believe that sleep deprivation is the biggest ignored/neglected root cause of health dangers that prematurely kill adults

ask me sometime about the role of sleep in the leptin ghrelin cycle and how its interruption destabilizes weight homeostasis

or about the new research showing that heart disease is not caused by fat, like we thought for years, but by inflammation in the circulatory system whose root cause is unknown but one of the prime suspects is, you guessed it, sleep deprivation

but nobody wants to hear that lack of sleep is killing people. employers don’t want to hear it. and god knows that having sold their waking hours to capitalism to survive workers don’t want to lose the only time they have left to them to live their lives, mostly stolen from sleep

i mean even i don’t want to do anything about it and i love sleep, i just love overwatch more

curlicuecal

this this this this this

our society places almost zero value on sleep

on enough sleep

on uninterrupted sleep

on regular, predictable, cycling sleep

all the evidence we have suggests sleep is really, really, really important to the processes of the human body, including both mental and physical health, and yet when was the last time you heard somebody suggest that people had a *right* to sufficient, regular sleep?

paddysnuffles

Reminder that

- Humans are not meant to sleep for extended periods of uninterrupted sleep.

By this I don’t mean “humans shouldn’t have 8+ hours of sleep a night”; I mean that we are supposed to sleep for four to five hours (ish), then get up and do something relaxing like reading for a half hour to an hour, then get another bout of four to five hours. This is what our bodies were designed for.

Sleeping the whole night through was a fad started with the advent of the lightbulb. Sleeping the whole night through is so recent (and artificial) that First Sleep and Second Sleep are mentioned in Dickens’ novels.

- Lack of sleep for even a single night severely compromises your immune system.

If you’re planning on getting little sleep or pulling an all-nighter, make sure to eat lots of fruit and veggies/take vitamins that day. Or even better, get yourself some bee propolis. It’s a natural remedy used for thousands of years in Latin America and is insanely good for boosting up compromised immune systems (if you get the drop kind, put 3 to 4 drops in a spoonful of honey and mix well with a 2nd spoon to mask the strong taste). It has no side effects and is all but impossible to overdose on.

- According to several government bodies around the world, chronic lack of sleep is literally tied for 1st place as the worst kind of torture (the other is solitary isolation)

- Expecting a teen to get up for 8:30 classes is the equivalent of expecting an adult to be at work at 4 am.

After babies, teens are the age group that needs the most amount of sleep. Puberty is exhausting, and the body needs time to recharge. Ideally, a teen should be getting between 10 to 12 hours of sleep at the bare minimum. Most teens are lucky if they manage to get 8. And that’s a gigantic problem; not only does lack of sleep affect mood (which is extra significant when your hormones are already riding a rollercoaster to begin with), but also has massive effects on growth, which is kinda what the whole puberty thing is supposed to be about.

- According to research “starting work before 10 a.m. is tantamount to torture and is making staff sick and stressed”

- Humans were not designed to have the same sleep cycle across the species. Much the opposite in fact.

Night owls and morning people are an actual thing. Because we’re pack creatures, Nature came up with a clever way for our ancestors to always have someone on the lookout for predators and threats: make people naturally alert at varying times so that there’s always someone alert to keep watch.

Forcing night owls to follow morning people’s sleep cycle means night owls live with what researchers have referred to as “permanent jetlag”.

“ First Sleep and Second Sleep are mentioned in Dickens’ novels”

this is how hobbits can have two breakfasts

“permanent jet lag” sounds about right. No idea how to fix this.

Every Day by Serge Gabriel

This may be the unpopular opinion but when people ask me, “What’s the most romantic thing you can give to another person?”—I always just have one answer: Every day.

The same blank stares and faces usually greet me when I give that answer because ‘every day’ isn’t romantic. It’s not good-looking as its older brothers: Always, Forever, and Until-the-end-of-my-life which manage to make it to the end of every ‘I’ll love you’ uttered in this world. I’ll love you… always. I’ll love you… forever. I’ll love you… until the end of my life, But, I’ll love you… every day? No one ever says that.

Every day isn’t romantic because every day is concrete, and concrete scares people. Every day gives you the Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays an ‘Always’ only tries to promise. It gives you the Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays a ‘Forever’ only tries to give, But, though this is the unpopular opinion, I do think every day is romantic.

And if it’s fine, I think I would love to give you that to you someday. If it’s fine, I think I would love to give you every day.

If it’s fine, let me love you. And, if you do, I promise you no more mundane moments in your life. Not to say that every date we will ever have will be filled with fireworks lighting up the night sky. No, I don’t have enough money for that. But, when I mean no more mundane moments, I mean dinner will never be just a dinner, Conversation will never just be conversation, And when I utter the words, “I love you.” I will mean them from the bottom of my heart.

Let me love you. And as geeky as it sounds, I will choose you the same way I chose my first Pokémon. People think it’s funny when I compare love and Pokémon but I don’t think it is. I mean, really, isn’t love a lot like fire, water and grass sometimes? Isn’t it like fire? When you see that person entering the room for the first time, doesn’t it feel like there’s an actual burning sensation in your chest that tells you, “I have to be the very best.” And, when you finally get to talk to that person, doesn’t it feel like a scratch, a slash, an ember, a flamethrower, a fire blast, a seismic toss, even—hitting you all at the same time.

Isn’t love like water? Just like our bodies, doesn’t it make up most of the world already? But, that’s not good enough for us. Don’t you drink it? Don’t you dance in it? Don’t you shower in it? When it freezes over, don’t you skate on it?

Isn’t love like that? Aren’t we made up mostly of love? But, that’s not good enough for us. Don’t we love giving out love? Don’t you dance when you’re in love? Don’t you die without being in love? Doesn’t love give us life?

Isn’t love like grass? Isn’t it just everywhere you look even though you never notice it? Isn’t it just there even though you step on it a lot of the time? Isn’t it beautiful to watch something grow from something so small to something so big? And, when it dies slowly, doesn’t a small part of you die with it, too?

Let me love you, and I promise I will love you the same way I loved my first Pokémon.

Let me love you. And whenever you’re sad or happy Sleepy or hungry, Or, strangely, all of the above, I’ll be there for you. And, when you’re thirsty, I will be there to quench your thirst Not just with love, but with water, or wine, or if you’re like me, iced tea.

Let me love you. And, the only thing you ever have to be frightened about are the horror movies that we will watch together. I promise I will only close my eyes when you aren’t looking.

Let me love you. And, even though it’s physically impossible to own a ring as big as Saturn’s, I want to be able to show the world that my love for you will go beyond this one.

Let me love because I think you’re like the sun. Because I think you’re brilliant, you’re bold, and you’re beautiful.

This may be the unpopular opinion but when people ask me, “What’s the most romantic thing you can give to another person?” — I always just have one answer: Every day.

So, if you’ll let me, if I may, let me give you all these days. If you’ll let me:

Let me give you all my Mondays, And I promise you no more mundane moments in your life.

Let me give you all my Tuesdays, And I promise I will choose you the same way I chose my first Pokémon— A little unsure, at first, unbelievably excited, and like it was the greatest decision I would ever have to make in my life.

Let me give you all my Wednesdays, And whenever you’re feeling anything at all, I will be there for you.

Let me give you all my Thursdays, And I promise to quench to your thirst, not just with drink, but with love.

Let me give you all my Fridays, And the only thing you ever have to be frightened about is being the most loved person in the world.

Let me give you all my Saturdays, Because I want to give you Saturn, this earth, my entire universe, even.

Let me give you all my Sundays, Because I think you’re like the sun. Because I think you’re brilliant, you’re bold, you’re beautiful, You’re alive, and you give me life.

This may be the unpopular opinion but when people ask me, “What’s the most romantic thing you can give to another person?” — I always just have one answer: Every day.

So, if you’ll let me, if I may, let me give you all these days. And, if you’ll let me, if I may, if I’m not in over my head, I do honestly hope you’ll let me: Start no day but today.

Part of Apple's new terms include "do not post incorrect things about religious texts" but even scholars of religious texts often disagree on the actual content or intent behind them. Apple has therefore declared itself the arbiter of the true word of God. 🤔

I like the way they took time to explain that VIXX went through different concepts. And srsly.. his carrot hair in On&On era was epic💎

I'm glad that he now considers this hair style as alright, but it's so typical VIXX that he does not like the debut look, whereas all members think that the 1st pic looks the best. XD
