the puppetry in phm is just so fucking good dude. think abt how much improv there was. the dancing/mimicking scene when rocky and grace first met? that was improvised. that means that 5 people were so in sync with each other on this puppet that they were able to mimic ryan gosling in real time with no plan. bro. BRO. ouugghhhhh rocky puppeteers i love u

sorry but if your bed isn’t against at least one wall you’re not valid

[heartsdesire456]

I used to think this post was stupid because most people like both sides of the bed free but then I realized some psychopaths put their bed like this so not even the headboard is against a wall and this post is about these animals.

[ranger-truth]

A single person’s bed is generally against 2 walls, a couple’s bed is generally against 1 wall, and people with 0 walls have no fear of the dark/unseen with direct access to their head, and therefore cannot be human.

[unnonexistence]

ok the bed just out in the middle of the room is bad but have you considered: only the footboard end against a wall

[crumplelush]

no i hadn’t. why would you put that image into my head?

[aceofsquiddles]

[demansiabites]

Okay, but how is this

This was the bed of Thomas Jefferson.

Congratulations! You made the right choice

Saw a passage from the book and got inspired

Said passage btw

[makomoriz]

no i don't. cheers

[homunculus-argument]

"You only get one family" is true, but not in the way that people who like to say that think it is. You only get one family, the first one is free. If that one sucks or it's just not a good match, you can get a new one but you're gonna have to find that one yourself.

“Trans men don’t make good music it’s all cringey ukulele indie pop” name a trans male musician who makes music like that other than cavetown

You know what? Name any trans male musician at all who isn’t cavetown

[totalmoralfag]

i dont want to derail from op's original point, but there have been a lot of wonderful reccs on this post, and i DO think we as a community need to do more to uplift trans men/transmasc musicians instead of stereotyping all transmasc musicians as "cringy". so, i sat down and went through every comment, tag, and reblog on this post (at least, all of the ones that are visible to me) and compiled a list, and i included some of my own favorites that i didnt see mentioned!

this list is not in any order, and i am not familiar with most of these artists, so an inclusion on this is not an endorsement of anything! if ive made a mistake anywhere, just let me know!

Do the kids these days know that the traditional payment for "having your friends help you move" is "order everyone pizza after"?

Feed your friends. Feed your loved ones. Feed the people who help you. Feed your neighbors. Feed your community.

Seriously though, with a lot of people, especially friends, you can shamelessly and blatantly trade pizza / food for help and labor <3

[burningbea]

It is also important to note that your friends will almost certainly help you move / drive you to the airport / anything else without a trade! If you can afford it then pizza/drinks/whatever is the traditional payment for moving house but if you can't, still ask your friends for help!

Especially if you're the kind of person who wants to help all your friends but won't accept help in return, you should start asking for help! It helps everyone else get more comfortable helping each other and accepting help, and it's the foundational part of building community!

A New Light

Do you guys like my portrait of Simon? Think I got his nose right? /silly

I was inspired by deadlymelodic's concept images of the Light and the Blood Tree, along with my theory that the Light is a disembodied human soul. It wasn't meant for us to see, right?

Riffing off of a BTS storyboard scene where Simon's conscious being explodes into a ball of fire, I utilized the same colors that made him up (that being orange, purple and teal.) Here are some gifs I made!

I am obsessed with the "stick people" clinging to the blood tree. I've always interpreted them as Simon's victims and those he lost; the people he placed into his soul and tried to move on from with them dragging behind. I took a little creative liberty and decided to surround the new light with orbiting blood! I also used pictures of steak for the blood ocean surface texture, and based the formation around the new light off of a quasar.

This piece took me eight hours. Here are some unfinished shots:

You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs

I didn't see any art of this scene so I decided to throw this in the ring because I thought it was very funny

When I am king, we will valorize sanitation workers the way we currently valorize the military

[thegrindingwheel]

So heroic posters showing trashmen battling allegorical monsters? I'm down.

[draconym]

Yeah but that's just the beginning. I also want Sanitation Worker Discounts at every business and blockbuster movie propaganda glorifying sanitation work. I want random people to salute garbage collectors and thank them for their service. I want drivers who get impatient with the recycling truck and honk at it and swerve around it to become social pariahs
