tumblr tuesday: islands in the sea

Last week, Animal Crossing released an update, and y’all are stoked. To celebrate, we took a little voyage through the archipelago we like to call Tumblr in search of some of the best island updates. Hop on in! ~ @aminal-crossingg has found the perfect balance of cute acnh aesthetics and the ebullience of a shitpost:

@pie-bean is really leaning into the whole cooking thing. Check out this meal they made their neighbors (with wheat they grew on their island :O)

@emlyofthestate is making excellent use of the happy home paradise update of partition walls on Shaolin:

Rowey of Warrenfall has been highlighting the excellent camera update over on @malcolmreeds:

New object alert with @forest-playground, as islander Sasha of Konoha, formerly of Hyrule, shows off the latest museum posters:

@fateside’s Amy of Lamplight is a self-proclaimed certified Animal Crossing elder. Here, enjoy this immensely aesthetically pleasing ootd:

We’re all understandably going wild for the new gyroids. @karzahnii really nailed their essence here:

And @sproids here:

(And let’s say you were seeking an entirely gyroid-themed blog, you would not be disappointed if you headed over to @gyroid-gryoids. Just sayin’.)

We conclude our tour with a little shopping spree at @froggychairr’s @crossingdesigns, which collects designs from all over the internet with extensive tagging ready for easy browsing. So, whether you’re feeling a sailor moon or a squid game ‘fit, they have ’em all.

🍎 Happy terraforming and a happy complete island overhaul to all the perfectionist island reps out there! 🍎

This is my favorite video from Dhar Mann and reaction to it do far. It's just so cute and super sweet what happens near the end.

A lot of people have been criticizing this dude's videos for not always been the most realistic and sometimes not the best acting, but if you're aware of that they're still nice due to the feel good vibes. Plus, especially if you also watch the behind the scenes videos, it's clear that the runner and creators are really trying to be respectful of their portrayals and are trying to spread kindness.

First suspect for the Dhar Mann lore series: Ayden Mekus. He's one of the many child actors who plays many roles on the Dhar Mann Youtube channel. I will be going into great depth about where Ayden falls AMONGst US in the Dhar Mann universe 👀. Stay tune this week for future post.

Miss Marple ermittelt undercover im Theatermilieu. Sehr verdächtig! Sie hat aber eine natürliche Begabung, die Schnüfflerin darzustellen. Wäre sie dabeigeblieben, das Stück würde länger laufen als Die Mausefalle.

my brother is watching horrid henry right now and it reminded me of the fact that i absolutely love that margaret and henry hate each other's guts but are so comfortable enough with each other that they go in each others gardens whenever they want, they invite each other to their birthday parties etc

it's honestly the funniest thing

both henry and margaret are trans and they would kill transphobes for each other but they still don’t like each other kjdfkd

((in margaret’s original concept she was a boy called moody martin, but the author’s husband felt that he would be too much like henry, so his character was changed to a girl named margaret and we stan))

Really random but why did I spend my entire childhood thinking that Henry and Ralph from Horrid Henry were boyfriends or were at least going to end up together? 😭

It is rare that I would do fan art of ‘The Cramp Twins’ nowadays. The reasons for this is because I’ve been sidetracked with other projects and technical difficulties; I also feel that I want to focus on my own artistry, as opposed to doing homages to the works of others. But I actually finished this piece months ago, the reason I’ve not posted it sooner is due to those technical difficulties (which I won’t go into detail at the moment). Anyway as you may know; I genuinely like 'The Cramp Twins’, both the books and the television series. It was about Wayne and Lucien Cramp; two un-identical twins who would bicker with one another, while also getting into many predicaments with a cast of supporting characters. Back in the day, this was one of my favourite shows. From the interesting characters, colourful designs and underlying social commentary, it was a funny and clever show. I’ve gone on record stating how underrated it was, as the general public seem to criticise it in a negative way. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think these troublemaking twins are deserving of such hate. Look if you don’t like 'The Cramp Twins’ that’s fine (I’m not saying you have to), but I think there’s more to the show than people give it credit for. The majority claim that its “boring” but not all animated shows have to be off the wall. I think it’s good to have ones that are more slice of life as well; surely we’re more accepting of these types of cartoons nowadays, right? With that out of the way; when I was a youth, two of my favourite things were 'The Cramp Twins’ and nursery rhymes. So my young mind thought, why not combine them both together? So recently, I decided to re-visit this concept of mine and see what I can do with it now. I did a similar piece years ago with Lucien and Wayne as 'Hansel and Gretel’; only this has the characters assume the role of nursery rhyme characters. See if you can guess what each character is supposed to be. I’ve tried to emulate the Cramp Twins style with mixing in that storybook/illustrative feel. If this was ever a thing in the early 2000s, I could imagine it being aimed at much younger children. I’m sure it would expose them to the show, and they would like the idea of the characters being put into the world of Mother Goose. I know I would have got by it. I hate to sound boastful, but this idea would surely beat those YouTube videos that use the song 'Tommy Thumb’ and random cartoon characters. Seriously what is with these weird 'finger family’ videos that include these licensed characters? Are they trying to turn 'Tommy Thumb’ into some kind of internet meme for little children? There’s even one with Adolf Hitler, you can’t make this stuff up people. Children deserve better than this.

Seriously, I meant it when I said the show needs to have a proper conclusion. If you truly care, then please let these producers know we want The Cramp Twins to get the closure it deserves.
