Iāve been meaning to redraw the cover of Making Money for a hot minute- but animating it was a last minute decision and I was kind of a freak for that. Regardless this is my new favorite thing and I will be staring at it for years

hey do guys ever think about how if vimes didnt get yeeted to the past in night watch, he'd never have known or heard of mossy lawn (nor of his skills as a doctor) and in the present they might not have been able to save sybil.
Oh...
I think the people who try to go into Fallout 1 and 2 as blind as possible and then complain about the game being obtuse and hard ignore the fact that the games come with very long detailed manuals and crpgs have always had sites and communities dedicated to sharing information about the game
i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.
grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.
there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

Your skill level is unquestionable but listen.

I've been enamored by this post ever since I saw it so I decided to voice it
I feel like I need to explain this about the Hungarian election: Tisza won without any presence in the mainstream media, and barely anything you could call a "political ad." And it's not just that they couldn't afford it: they couldn't access certain types of publicity even if they had the money. Over the last sixteen years, Fidesz has come to dominate our national media infrastructure. We don't have hardline censorship, it's just that all of the means to speak and be heard belong to OrbƔn.
An opposition party can no longer place full-size billboards anywhere in Hungary: the private companies renting out billboard spaces are also under Fidesz control. Fidesz can fill the city with billboards, on walls, next to roads, in every bus stop, etc etc, Tisza had none, except for smaller cardboard ones ziptied to traffic signs.
There are free, state-run TV and radio channels that lots of people use to get their news, and those are 100% Fidesz propaganda. Free newspapers are handed out: Fidesz propaganda. Private, for-profit media exists, but a lot of it is owned by Fidesz puppets and echoes the party line, a lot of it is technically free but self-censors to avoid trouble, and the remainders of truly free media remains struggled to have the same reach as the media propped up by the whole state infrastructure. Fidesz used financial and political means to break multiple dissenting newspapers and online news sites, replacing them with zombie propaganda creatures. Some things no longer appear in mainstream media, for example, opposition politicians do not appear in mainstream media. There could be no televised debate between candidates because that would have meant giving free air time to enemies of Fidesz.
The opposition has access to social media, and they have access to crowdfunded alternative news/journalism sites, which also disseminate information via social media, and that's basically it, while Fidesz also pushes their own agenda via the same social networks. Shoutout to gen Z and A for being online in the right way and amplifying true information, shoutout to some surprisingly ethical influencers, shoutout to Tisza for being good at maintaining an engaging social media presence that could rival state-funded television, but an especially huge and humbled shoutout to the investigative and documentary journalists who did not stop, and who spent the last decade uncovering the scandals that finally brought the regime down. But that still would not have been enough, because not everyone is on the internet, and not everyone on the internet is already reading the same four independent investigative outlets.
It is only in retrospect that I understand how much of this campaign was won the old, low-tech way, on foot, door to door, face to face. Telling people what was going on, and asking them what they wanted. I used to think it was just a silly gimmick that PƩter Magyar walked from Budapest to NagyvƔrad (ca. 300 km), but if a guy can't get on television, he has to go to fifty different villages and convey the news like a town crier. And of course it wasn't just him, Tisza candidates and volunteers have put in a truly impressive amount of footwork.
The party having a TWO-THIRD SUPERMAJORITY was basically silent and invisible in any mainstream outlet. They didn't need that shit, and apparently their voters didn't either. This is incredibly impressive.
Confession time: The inside cover of #53 makes me think of a Taxxon nightclub. The kinda place where they have the bass turned up so loud it makes your drink vibrate like the T.rex detector from Jurassic Park. It would be even louder after a bunch of them become snakes, because as snakes, they would be more dependent on feeling the music than hearing it.

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again
the state of the internet for 18+ spaces is so fucking dire man i got people who think that anything more risque than hand holding deserves the gooner death penalty on one side and on the other side theres people who are constantly coopting the conversation about the gooner death penalty people to advocate for the abolition of the age of consent. like i dont think i want either of those things
this is an act of war against the menswear guy for sure
āI like your shoelaces.ā
(Pained look) āyeah.. thanks, the president gave them to me..ā
damn how did I miss this one
Iām convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more
for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:
and here it is afterwards:
I truly donāt think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they canāt appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain āremembersā it looking.
Another before and after example:
This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).
yeahā¦
I was already going to reblog this because gifmakers need all the love, but the little lambie made sure that I was definitely going to do it.
dark scenes are truly the bane of every gifmakerās soul
The ecosystem of tumblr fandom relies on gif makers - put some respect on their names!!
Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that donāt wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.
And people say stuff like ālol donāt you hate it when you look up in the middle of the night and see a spider on your ceilingā like bitch (!!) i could have Nicholas II last czar of Russia hangin from my ceiling fan and i would be none the wiser
