The costume and makeup styling is insane??? Unless I'm missing something and this is animated and not live action hello???

Like the "style" makes it look animated but the eyes and the hands and the background look very real to the point where I genuinely can't tell if it's insanely high quality animation detail or insanely artistically skilled makeup and costuming to mimic an animated artstyle

Don't worry it's 100% real! If you follow the source link and look through their account they demonstrate how they did the cosplay on other videos!

I’ve seen this kinda thing IRL and I wanna add that the illusion is, interestingly? a lot stronger in videos and photos! Probably because we’re used to seeing Animated things on Screens, but my experience of seeing it in meatspace with a 3d depth of field was that they looked kinda. Dirty? At first? Until somebody explained it to me and my brain suddenly saw it, whereas here it’s obvious as the nose at the end of my face.

Perception is such a neat thing!

Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!? Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs)

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

I love the library ☺

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way

As a writer, I like to visit libraries, and I do not ask to be paid for visiting bookshops or libraries. Writers mostly don’t get paid (very successful ones do appearance fees sometimes) but often writers wish for travel expenses as writers don’t tend to be rich enough to fund travelling about. Publishers tend to send writers to bookshops (if they send us anywhere, also rare!) as people can buy books in the bookshops which makes the publisher money. (Almost never enough for a publisher to break even on a book tour.)

it would be excellent if there were arts funds to send writers around to libraries. I know I would go! I know we all in the book biz are operating on slim margins but also in the knowledge this is important and joyful work.

Speaking of work, I often write in my local library. It’s free and beautiful. Everything else in this thread is more than true!

I like how the kid pauses their toddler momentum before approaching the cat gently. Like, yes, cat understands that toddler must be treated softly. But clearly, toddler also understands that cat must be treated softly. That’s pretty great.

These faces have been and will be in my mind all month, and likely they will never leave. Worse even, there will likely be more added. To artists and those of us who can speak up, we NEED to speak up—we are as much a part of this world and society as everyone else, and we can create things that can do even just a little good/reflection/solidarity. I’m so angry, which only means I’m NOT going to stop speaking out and doing what I can to remind people that this is so wrong and evil. Abolish ICE!!!

I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school's first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who'd awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes "oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts." and I'm like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don't like red. second of all look at me. there's literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.
