tchaikovsky is proud
In case anyone is baffled by this, there’s a Tchaikovsky piece in which there’s supposed to be a loud sound but he never specified what you should use to make that sound. People have done all kinds of weird shit depending on how they think the sound should, well, sound. Hitting a large piece of wood with a sledgehammer is a relatively conventional one.
Jenna Marbles quitting YouTube feels like a punch to the gut and I don’t even watch her videos
I’ve heard nothing but positive stuff about Jenna and how she’s changed from her problematic days and yet people still keep doing this shit. Meanwhile there’s 3 weekly threads on how Shane Dawson keeps being the scum of the earth and yet he still gets stanned and defended. Fuck you. Y’all ain’t slick
People can change, they can acknowledge how they’ve fucked up, and work towards becoming a better person. That’s what Jenna did. Her old problematic stuff is bad, it sucks, and she’s acknowledged time and time again that she’s changed and worked towards becoming a better person and it’s shown through her content. This fucking sucks and I hope she’s doing ok
‘Cancel culture is toxic af because it's as if growth is non existent.’
okay guys, there’s something we need to talk about more..
netflix just released the film ‘ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga’ which is an indian movie about a girl who’s into girls and how she gets the courage to come out and face her family and be with the woman she loves. sound familiar? yeah, i know it’s the basic plot of most hollywood lgbtq movies but that’s not the point.
this is literally the first indian movie i’ve seen on a famous platform, accessible by anyone, that actually represents the lgbtq community in all its beauty and love and affection, rather that scorning or mocking it.
the movie is beautiful and the scenes and the fluff and the cute couple and the emotions just make it so worth watching, and that’s not all.
i’m an indian bisexual teenager and i would’ve been so happy to have been exposed to a movie like this when i was younger. if i had seen this kind of portrayal in the film industry, i doubt that i would’ve been the afraid young girl i was and i would’ve had the courage to do what the main characters did and just BE MYSELF.
all i hope is that someone sees this movie, some little girl out there sees it and knows that she is not alone, that she is not abnormal. with a topic such as this, which has been treated as taboo for decades now in my country (still is kinda), when it is actually being represented and being represented well, i can’t help but wanna scream about it from the rooftops.
also just look at this adorableness:
anywho, REBLOG, SIGNAL BOOST THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
His smile 🥺❤

Facebook post by Robert Hartwell on 24 June 2020. Caption reads:
3 weeks ago I found this house online. I said “this is my house”. I called the seller and was told it was a cash only offer and that “I’m sure that takes you off the table”. Don’t you ever underestimate a hard working black man. I saw the house last week and when I walked in I knew I was home. The house was built in 1820 for the Russell family who owned the cotton mill in town. Slavery was still legal. When the agent asked me why I wanted such a large house I said it was “a generational move”. I know this house is bigger than me. I wish I could’ve told my ancestors when they were breaking their back in 1820 to build this house that 200 years later a free gay black man was going to own it and fill it with love and find a way to say their name even when 200 years later they still thought I would be “off the table”. We are building our own tables. I’ve never been prouder to be a black man. Come to my White House any time. I can’t wait to have you! Glory to God in the highest. I’m a homeowner.

Cows reaction when they see grass after being shut down indoors for 6 months.
(via)
This is also common practice in Sweden. Dairy cows are kept indoors during the winter, then released into their pasture in spring. The kosläpp (release of the cows) is an annual event usually open to visitors. There’s even an expression derived from it.
having watched several of those “CGI experts watch explain bad CGI” videos, I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason why CGI is such a problem in the industry is because executives AND CGI techs alike are actually delusional about the strengths of the medium
CGI is something that frustrates me because it really can be used to accomplish some amazing things - it’s just that it works better as an enhancer than a replacement to practical effects.
One of the first uses of CGI in animated movies was actually in The Great Mouse Detective. It’s not glaringly obvious (which is exactly how things should be), but once you know what you’re looking at, it clicks.
It’s the clock tower scene.
See those gears? Those were rendered in CGI first, then traced over with the characters moving. Trying to handle that much machinery by hand alone would have taken much, much longer and cost a great deal more. This is an excellent use of CGI in animation, because it’s used as a support as opposed to being front and center.
This is how it used to be in live-action, too. CGI was used to create things that could not be achieved with practical effects, but didn’t replace them as a whole. It was a component of the movie-making instead of being front-and-center. The problem is that, like 3D in the past, it’s become a gimmick and a marketing draw. Look at this! Look at all this CGI in our movie that’s supposed to be live-action!
But it doesn’t always work, because the human eye is incredibly intelligent and much more perceptive than we give it credit for. We know when something looks not-quite-right, even if we can’t explain why. And CGI just can’t surpass practical effects in that regard, at least not when it’s right in front of your face.
(Side note, but it’s especially frustrating because there are some genuinely talented CGI artists who are absolutely misplaced on bad CGI-centric projects. I swear it’s like watching a Jackson Pollock imitator waste perfectly good paint.)
Agreed.
The actual strengths of CGI right now definitely lie in supportive elements (as well as animated features and video games). What I was noticing with those videos tho was specifically that even some of the people heavily involved in creating CGI for films seemed to be under the impression that our eyes were being fooled, or that our eyes could be fooled if one or two tiny tweaks were done to “fix it,” and tbh in reality it’s very rare for a big blob of CGI right in your face to accomplish that.
how to draw arms ? ?
holy fuck
holy fuck is right… but… does it work with legs???

LMAOOOOOO
Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:
The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!
So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:
And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:
It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting:
So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:
But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!
HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG
Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles
I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.
Love this
Ok, but are you on grass tiktok?

🏳️🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.
Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

Tumblr humor is on a whole other level any other platform has yet to even come close to matching.
my family fucked up my life by using spoonerisms interchangeably with their true phrase counterparts since before i was born and now i can’t escape from instinctively saying shit like “im gonna shake a tower”

Yes, his smiling face is very disconcerting, but is no one going to talk about the fucking slapping sounds
“At 19, I read a sentence that re-terraformed my head: “The level of matter in the universe has been constant since the Big Bang.” In all the aeons we have lost nothing, we have gained nothing - not a speck, not a grain, not a breath. The universe is simply a sealed, twisting kaleidoscope that has reordered itself a trillion trillion trillion times over. Each baby, then, is a unique collision - a cocktail, a remix - of all that has come before: made from molecules of Napoleon and stardust and comets and whale tooth; colloidal mercury and Cleopatra’s breath: and with the same darkness that is between the stars between, and inside, our own atoms. When you know this, you suddenly see the crowded top deck of the bus, in the rain, as a miracle: this collection of people is by way of a starburst constellation. Families are bright, irregular-shaped nebulae. Finding a person you love is like galaxies colliding. We are all peculiar, unrepeatable, perambulating micro-universes - we have never been before and we will never be again. Oh God, the sheer exuberant, unlikely face of our existences. The honour of being alive. They will never be able to make you again. Don’t you dare waste a second of it thinking something better will happen when it ends. Don’t you dare.”
— Caitlin Moran
yall better be just as outraged about this as you were about notre dame
This is even WORSE.
To elaborate why this is worse: Art and religion are all well and good. But information can be critical. When libraries burn, information can be lost forever. Because we photograph art. We have blueprints of the Cathedral. The Notre Dame cathedral did not burn to the ground, only the wooden structures did. The entire library and everything within is gone here. Another reason this is worse? It was DELIBERATE. It was bombed. Accidents like Notre Dame happen all the time. But bombings don’t have to happen. So yeah, if you cared about Notre Dame, logically you should care about this too,
Literally no excuse ^^^
Also like… Half the characters from cowboy beebop are black or dark skinned.
