Edit: I just realized some of these sound like captions in weirdcore images.
That last one honestly sounds like a threat o_o

One of the things that sucks about being an animation nerd is having to live with the fact that, from a technical standpoint, the Hotel Transylvania movies are absolutely ground-breakingly staggeringly incredible.
As completely ignorant on animation, why is that? How is Hotel Transylvania any good??
The short version is that they’ve been figuring out how to plug the strengths of traditional animation into cg animation.
Longer version: cg animation is essentially puppet animation. You build a model, paint it and dress it up, and then move it around. That’s why Pixar’s first animated film was about toys, and their second one was about bugs: it’s much harder to make something look convincingly soft and fleshy than it is to work with something that’s supposed to be rigid.
Working inside this paradigm, the progression that makes sense is to work on developing more and more articulated puppets. Figure out how to add fur (Monsters, Inc.), move fish (Finding Nemo), get to the point where you can actually make human puppets who look appealing (The Incredibles.) In 2012 the big animated feature films showed off huge strides in particle physics (The Guardians), and hair (Tangled, Brave). Character effects and lighting were really hitting their stride, and the general movement was towards more detailed models, increased realism, richer and more intricate environments. The models only had so much range before they started to break, so squash & stretch was never going to be as pronounced as something from drawn animation could be. Hotel Transylvania challenged that.
As a show creator and director, Genndy Tartakovsky’s always shown a preference for stylization. He’s also got a reputation for incredible and deliberate timing, spectacular silhouettes, dramatic movement and clear staging, and just overall really good at directing animation. He wanted Tex Avery-type animation in CG and by golly, he did it.
Look at how exaggerated those shapes are, and how snappy, smooth, and fast the transitions between each one: that’s not something that was really being done. The motion-blurring alone was so defining that apparently Sony calls it a “Genndy blur.”
Animation is essentially the art of movement: the better the movement, the better the animation, and the Hotel Transylvania franchise has spectacular movement.
The model is actually being resculpted for maximum exaggeration, and the smears and blurs make the transitions between each pose fast, energetic, and snappy.
Like. Look at that movement. Look at how tightly he’s rooted while the follow through of his clothing sells the hard stop of each hip bump. Look at how sharp and deep his knees are bending, the way his weight shifts onto his heels and that tiny little side step at the very end, where he keeps his weight on his right foot for a split second before popping over to his new position. And he’s dancing the Macarena because he had to find the most brain-dominating, toe-tappingist song in the universe to win a DJ battle where a Kraken was being driven into a murderous rage by a mystical melody and it had to be counteracted by another song.
Yeah.
Somebody once described the Hotel Transylvania franchise as “like seeing Lamborghini making a clown car,” and honestly, that’s kind of what it’s like.

that new animal crossing character named sasha that uses he/him pronouns i say congrats on the gender
I love Sasha but can y’all remember that other countries exist and Sasha isn’t inherently a feminine name? 🙄
In this episode of “questions that have never been asked before”: Is this rabbit a genderqueer icon or just slavic?
I just looked up Sasha’s names in the other game localizations, and there’s a whole lot of interesting things going on!
As we’ve already covered, Sasha is primarily a masculine name in Slavic languages, but it is typically feminine in English-speaking countries.
The funny thing is that in the Russian version, his name isn’t even Sasha! It’s Геррит (or Gerrit, which is also his German name)
Meanwhile, Gerrit is a name of Dutch origin, but in the Dutch version his name is Sasha.
Ariel is another one of those names that can be masculine or feminine depending on where you are, though in Spanish-speaking countries it’s usually masculine.
Alix is also a gender-neutral name, though it should be noted that in French, it is more commonly a feminine name.
The Japanese name ミッチェル and Korean name 미첼 both translate to Mitchell, while the Chinese name 蜜雪兒 could be Mitchell or Michelle.
It seems that for many of these, they intentionally picked gender-neutral or ambiguous names. So in conclusion, congrats! This rabbit is indeed a genderqueer icon.
(Please correct me if I’m wrong about any of these, especially Chinese and Korean as I do not speak or read either of them. I also couldn’t find anything on the gender connotations of the name Sasha in Italian or Dutch, so if anyone has any info on this I’d love to know!)
So he’s consistently both androgynous and foreign.
this rabbit’s gay AND european!

it’s funny because yes, you CAN disable right click save, but it takes like an extra two seconds to get around it because of how images are displayed on websites. (technically you could also just screenshot but this gets you a real jpg)
for example, instagram has disabled right click save. here I am trying to save a picture of this girl with a pumpkin sweater, but I am thwarted by the lack of right click save!
to get around it, right click and go to “inspect” or “inspect element” (it’s called different things depending on what computer you’re using)
shimmy around the webpage code until you find the “src” bit. It will helpfully tell you when you’ve found it because the image, and only the image, will light up as if you selected it.
that source is the link to where the image is hosted on the website. click the link.
find the actual hosted image. right click on that.
check and mate.
