Mountain Mint

I love this majestic plant so much. You can never have too much Pycnanthemum around.

...Until you have too much Pycnanthemum around. Then you have a mint party

if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.

this one took off quickly - are you guys ok

WIZARD PSA: Chronomancy might be weird and confusing, but one of the few solid rules of the discipline is keep your promises. Time is a library, and you don't want to meet the librarian.

Reblog if you have met the librarian

big fan of "one william" as a quantity. keep it up

[dovecote]

It makes me think of the mysterious Williamcoin I received in the mail recently.

[dovecote]

Behold, One William.

[j4gm]

holy shit, you found it. one william dollar.

[dovecote]

So, very unfortunate news. I actually received a follow up in the mail, too.

I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

If anyone is wondering where we are on a scale of 1 to fucked, Weird Al Yankovic just did a full cover of Rage Against the Machine - Killing In the Name

In this man's 46 year long career, through everything, he has NEVER spoken about politics. He has NEVER spoken harshly to anyone. He has NEVER performed songs with heavy swearing or forceful lyrics. This man guest starred on My Little Pony as "Cheese Sandwich," the only other party pony as fun as Pinkie Pie!

When THIS man stops laughing, we are in trouble.

i do have to say that no matter how shitty any sort of media is or how shitty your own creations are. always remember

[iwillmissourtalks]

Fandom spaces have GOT to stop finding out about concept art & saying they were supposed to have x or y. That’s not how concept art works, there isn’t a secret better show they decided to hide from you for no reason

[ghostboyravenight-deactivated20]

“Look at the animation style we could have had!” and it’s a drawing so detailed that the animators would have killed themselves before ever being able to finish a single frame

[jessilynallendilla]

some people believe the concept art, early drafts, pilot episodes are proof there could have been a better show/movie they maybe could have made if not for technical, financial, practical, studio, or executive meddling limitations

the key word is maybe

Tiana could have been a maid named Maddie

Bob and Linda Belcher could have been cannibals

Elsa could have been an evil ice queen with a coat of live weasels

Wish could have actually been a good movie

but we don't live in alternate universes so we'll never know how it turned out

the concept art and pilot episodes are just a proof of an idea

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

[dgalerab]

someone brought a cake analysis robot to feed the cake into to determine the exact ingredients and supposedly it can spit out the exact same cake. and if you're like dude. what. then they're like well if it bothers you you should have made more cake. i'm hungry and i deserve cake. and you're like dude we're at a party.

[sainamoonshine]

Three months later you find out that fifty people locked themselves in a room to discuss how much they loved your cake and how they wished you made more. None of them ever told you.

[dear-ao3]

so for the love of god. please tell people you liked their cake and don’t feel embarrassed about it. because then they will make more cake.

Are you doing okay? We missed you at the devil's sacrament. He mentioned you by name. Everyone was looking around and cheering until we realized you weren't there. If you need to talk I'm always here. At the aforementioned devil's sacrament.

opened the reblog editor to say the mom is obviously Carmen Sandiego but then realized I have zero justification for that whatsoever I’m just going off of vibes

[gallusrostromegalus]

I mean I always shipped Waldo of Where’s Waldo with Carmen Sandiego, and if you combine the respective outfits of both and whatever deranged bullshit Waldo was on, I can see them producing twin Clown Princes of Crime and Corporations.

[the-geeky-fangirl]

imagine just saying “i always shipped waldo of where’s waldo with carmen sandiego” with no explanation whatsoever

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why would that need explanation they’re perfect for each other

“sex/romance/empathy makes us human,” they say. awful. pathetic. what makes us human is the urge to set things on fire

[sullina]

you’re actually correct!

Cooking is the one thing that only humans do and can be directly linked to the increase in our brain size
