this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die

most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic

Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.

sorry to make this long post longer, but I feel like it needed some actual photos of Cab Calloway, who is, in fact, the greatest

incoming wall of text but HEY LOOK IT’S THAT KICKSTARTER I MEAN TO RUN IN FEBRUARY BUT THIS ENTIRE YEAR HAS BEEN A RIDE HAHAHA *cough*

HERE’S THE LINK TO THE KICKSTARTER PAGE 

-but! in case you don’t want to be bothered going there for the pitch here’s the gist: I made a fairytale story, and lots of people wanted it to be a book, so we’re gonna try to make it into a book! There’s also lots of really nice rewards like seriously they’re really shiny and I love them?? You can read the entire story here for free to see if you like it! As a taster it contains but is not limited to-

Pretty Pastel Pink City

Princess Who can Kick your Ass and Will

Adorable Silent Movie Comedian-type Jester Nerd

MUTUAL. PINING. and rhymes. lots of rhymes. also a baby dragon.

If that’s not enough for you THERE IS ALSO LIKE A WHOLE PLOT WHERE SNEAKY SNOBBY HIGH-UPS IN THE CASTLE TRY TO LIKE, MURDER THE JESTER AND IT GETS KIND OF INTENSE NGL like make up your own mind about it by going to read it. Go on. Read my dorky love story it’s completely free and will take like 10 minutes tops and like maybe you’ll??? Enjoy it? It’s effectively an AU of the two characters from this animation I made a while back, which oh hey look you can watch that for free too at the bottom of this post.

I have also made a lot of Fan Comics on here which you might recognise, and I make The Property of Hate! The only stretch goal is to REPRINT VOLUME ONE AND TWO of TPoH which is currently completely sold out, so if you like any of the stuff I’ve done I’d be HUGELY grateful if you could support this project and/or share it with people! Thank you! :D

“I wanted to fly planes on an aircraft carrier, but my father had fought in World War I, and he told me that we’re a family who goes into the army.  So I enlisted in the infantry.  I wasn’t worried about a thing.  I was only eighteen years old.  I was too young and too stupid to be afraid.  The government sent me to Europe on the Queen Mary. I had two sets of dog tags.  One of them designated my religion as ‘Hebrew,’ which I planned on throwing away if I got caught.  I was sent to the Battle of the Bulge.  When I arrived at my post outside of Luxembourg, I learned that all the officers in my company had been killed, except for one.  He assigned me to be an advance scout.  It sounds like a glamorous job, but my orders were to walk in front and draw fire so everyone behind me knew there was danger.  At one point a shell exploded over my head and my ear started bleeding.  When the medics finished bandaging me up, they told me: ‘That will be enough to get you a Purple Heart!’  But I told them to keep it because I knew they’d notify my parents, and I didn’t want them to worry.  After I recovered I was transferred to the Mauthausen concentration camp.  I arrived on my 19th birthday.  My new job was to guard the liberated prisoners so the Nazis didn’t come back and kill them.  These people were so emaciated from being starved to death.  I was helping to bury hundreds of bodies per day.  But I couldn’t cry.  Because I had be strong for the prisoners.  They needed my strength.  I would walk around the courtyard at night, and sing a popular Jewish song called ‘My Yiddishe Momme.’  It’s a whole long story about missing your mother, but the lyrics didn’t matter.  I’d sing it as loud as I could.  Because I wanted everyone to know that a Jewish boy was there to protect them.”   #quarantinestories

There is an insurmountable pain that comes with the guilt and grief I carry because of the decisions I’ve made. So much so that I often wonder if the amount of medication needed to fix it would also dull my entire existence. I would rather work on my pain than numb it personally but with that comes needless suffering. Do I take away a part of myself and with it the pain, or fester in my sadness in the hopes I can claw and gnaw my way out? If trying means giving up a little and tearing away at life could mean death, what do you do?

I’m probably looking at it the wrong way.
