The Derp Crew Situation (April 2021)
Hi everyone! If you don't know me already, I'm Raakx, I work closely with some of the derps and here's an update on what's going on.
As most of you might know, or if you haven't already, there have been a lot of questions regarding what's going on between GaLm and the rest of the Crew.
I'm here to give you what information I was allowed to share, and here are some clips from Chilled and Aphex talking about what's going on.
Chilled's Clip (x) // Aphex's Clip (x)
I couldn't fit the whole thing, but here's what you need to know!
They are not on speaking terms right now. There are private things going on that the entire Derp Crew wish that you would respect to keep private and not pry or interfere in the situation. They ask that you don't bring anything up or discuss it in their chats and don't @ them about it.
To put things straight, no one unfollowed anybody. Aphex and Chilled were blocked, and the rest were muted. That's all I can say.
Again, please respect their decisions, thank you!
To specify this has nothing to do with their coming out!! There are just things happening in their private lives that we don't need to know about and y'all know how internet fans can start unnecessary fights! They're being very professional about keeping their drama under wraps so please please just respect this decision and know that they're taking care of themselves and each other and that they're okay !
A thing i made for Ze’s birthday, also a repost from twitter!
tag yourself as cheesys made by his friends i’m cheesy’s cheesy
the four types of enjoyment derived from video games: 1. make number go up
2. make color get big
3. make all the people like me
4. gay
Facebook: Spend all your money here! Buy things from your neighbors! From these weirdly specific ads! From these athletes you’ve never heard of!
Twitter: Argue with strangers on the internet in 140 characters or less!
Instagram: Look at these photoshopped models and feel bad about yourself! Buy our stuff!
Tumblr:
shoutout to the people working for hours on content that only gets ten notes. i’m kissing you tenderly on the forehead as we speak
cinematic parallels: tumblr somehow becoming one of the most bearable social media platforms in 2020/2021, and that speed skater who made it to the olympics because everyone else fell over
tumblr, doing the bare minimum of keeping posts chronological and not forcing targeted ads down our throats 24/7:

the way my jaw dropped at this bit
Toby: So I wrote a bunch of music for the computer to play. Its going to be epic since the computer can handle so many crazy parts. Orcistra: We’re going to play this. Toby: Ummm…
Every band member ever: Music that was clearly composed by someone who doesn’t know how human fingers work? yeah alright, let me warm up.
I need this
Like the full concert or a copy of the audio I can download
Oh look, I found it!
https://youtu.be/2vHERvHx26A
new favourite thing to listen to: literally exactly what i’ve been looking for my entire life
Yo I just spent an hour watching this religiously. As an ex cellist I’ve got some highlights:
This fucking slaps
You guys think spider dance was hard? Nah. Watch them tackle death by glamour. I was exhausted just watching them. The technical skills to pull off the rhythm and pacing is A LOT. Here’s a tip- try moving your fingers and arm as fast as the first Violinist. Good luck.
The people in this orchestra are. Wow. There’s a single viola dude with 80’s glam hair, the lead Oboe’s throat inflates like a frog? The lead Cellist IS LIVING* every time he’s on screen (*possessed by a demon). There are TWO pianists for a single piano. The butch lesbian on drums stole my heart. There’s an electric guitar??? The lead violinist is clearly also the conductor, but his passing resemblance to Junji Ito is uncanny.
Everyone playing this music absolutely loves it. When SAVE the world hits BY GOD THEY’RE GONNA SAVE IT WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC.
The pianist is having a religious experience whenever she’s solo, she literally caresses the keys for certain notes.
I cannot express how beautiful Undertale is played during this performance. It brought me to tears. They made sure the title song was given the honor it deserved.
This entire concert will make you forever respect Toby Fox as a composer. Absolutely gorgeous work. It’s like it was made to be performed. This is worth sitting and watching with headphones in. The entire hour is worth your time.
ARE WE JUST NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THEY EXECUTED YOUR BEST NIGHTMARE?
forgive me while i post about disney on main, but i literally cannot believe that they put a disney princess face... on a dragon
like... what the fuck is this
for contrast, here are some actual dragons, from Thai mythology, which is clearly the inspo for her design, except they’re infinitely cooler
i hate that she’s furry, and has EYEBROWS, and eyelashes and liner? i understand modifying a creature’s design for the sake of animated emotional clarity, but this is weak creature design. this is a human face superimposed on a mythological creature. even worse, it’s disney’s favorite face— with giant eyes, pencil brows, and a button nose, on a dragon.
you can create animated creatures that still look animalistic. the dragons from httyd do this extremely well; they clearly show emotions, but are still obviously, and delightfully, dragons.
they’re covered in scales, have prominent snouts, and reptillian eyes. these are dragons! and they look the part!
anyways, disney really, really needs to get its head out its ass about marketability, and create characters that are actually interesting to look at.
And I Guarantee the httyd dragons will continue as the more beloved and remembered dragons for years, simply because they have better designs that appeal to more than just the disney princess crowd.
Nearly every person you ask will say they know who toothless is and say that hes a cute dragon, despite his more realistic design. You can have appealing and memorable characters without forcing them into an overused and overly polished mould.
Obviously not disney levels of quality but here’s a quick attempt at honoring traditional Thai dragons while still having a pleasing and relatively simple design for a kids movie. Its Not That Hard, if I could whip up this design in an afternoon I’m sure that a multi million animation and arts company could do much better than me. Anyways!
It’s actually harder for a multi million animation and arts company to make a unique and memorable design than an individual artist because you don’t have someone with no art experience standing over your shoulder and demanding you make it look like the last thing that sold well
Imagine the fucking art that would come out of Disney if we trust-busted it and broke it into like, 12 different companies
my favorite thing in the world is how every single human culture, together or independently, created its own version of Pancake. everyone took one look at frying pans and were like “holy shit i have the BEST idea”
i’m not even exaggerating not even a itty teeny bit
Latkes (Ashkenazi Jewish), Blini (Russian/Ukrainian), Injera (Horn of Africa), Kabalagala (Ugandan banana pancakes), Arepas (Colombian/Venezuelan), Cachapas (also Venezuelan/Colombian), Qatayef (Middle Eastern)
Buchimgae (Korean pancake), Cong you bing (Chinese scallion pancake), Okonomiyaki (Japan), oh crap I hit photo limit
WAIT I GOT MORE
Dosa (Indian), Apam balik (Southeast Asia), Nordic pancakes (Norway, Sweden), Poffertjes (Netherlands), Dutch baby pancake (U.S.), Johnny/Hoecakes (Indigenous North America), Crumpets (U.K.), Souffle pancakes (Japanese)
some of these recipes go back a thousand years, some are only a few decades old, wikipedia has like a hundred more entries, PANCAKES ARE THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE, PANCAKES ARE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF EXISTENCE
British people hate this post more than they hate spider rain
@rosadiaz-givesme-bipanic, @whythefuckdoiexist
Dosa… is more than Indian pancakes. It is like eating papery gold (which in hindsight is a bad description). The thinner and crispier it is, the more likely you are to see people’s face look like they’re in literal Heaven. Plus it’s healthier than pancakes, especially if you make it out of ragi.
