POV you're an artist that lives in the USA and now returning to your roots

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK YALL!!!

I will be cycling my content I have made over the years into here like I used to so if my blog looks a bit weird, it is most likely under construction.

 This clip is so good

Canada lynx up north is so impressive with how far they can jump with no momentum and we have Lynx rufus down here that can apparently climb cliffs( never have seen it but would like to)

Sorry to say, but they do the exact same thing for humans too.

[rainbowravioli]

It’s amazing how people in the notes and comments are absolutely FURIOUS at me for the included Frozen comparison. Special shout out to everyone trying to prove that real people look like this.

[penismadnessgirl]

Not to mention that when people edit these characters to have better facial proportions, the originals look like bizarre fish people.

How humans draw themselves is always fascinating to me

[rose-in-the-cosmos]

op why are you speaking like you aren’t human i’m scared

[simonalkenmayer]

Eh…perhaps read my blog description.

I think I know the reason for why people prefer “unrealistic” animation.

For some reason, humans really don’t like things that look like humans but aren’t quite human. Hence why a lot of people are uncomfortable with movies with animation like Monster House and The Polar Express. It looks too realistic to us and sets us off.

Scientists call this the “Uncanny Valley” effect and its thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival.

The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the uncanny valley effect. Only humans. Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival?

Okay, I’ve seen this thread a dozen times before, but not with this addendum.

[vrabia]

i made the original post in the throes of unmedicated depression because that’s where my sense of humor was at the time. i don’t check my activity page. seeing it barge onto my dash months later with +250k notes and this exchange attached to it like a bunch of rattling tin cans attached to the tail of a rabid dog running loose is fucking WILD

[cluster-fandom]

So sometime after whenever humans developed the uncanny valley effect, did we just hunt this mysterious predator to extinction? Or did it die out on it’s own? Or did it evolve as well into something… else? Could it still be living on Earth today?

[aberrantemotion]

Idk why dont we ask the “people eating cryptid” who claims to be from a species that’s easy to hide and apparently passes as human who’s like, 3 reblogs above this?

Hey fun fact;

Back when Homo sapiens weren’t the end-all of hominids, we also had some other two legged “humanish” cousins like the Neanderthals, Denisovians, and more!

There were nine different species of “humans”

By 10,000 years ago, they were all gone. The disappearance of these other species resembles a mass extinction. But there’s no obvious environmental catastrophe – volcanic eruptions, climate change, asteroid impact – driving it.

Instead, the extinctions’ timing suggests they were caused by the spread of a new species, evolving 260,000-350,000 years ago in Southern Africa: Homo sapiens.

Neanderthal skeletons show patterns of trauma consistent with warfare.

Like language or tool use, a capacity for and tendency to engage in genocide is arguably an intrinsic, instinctive part of human nature.

Optimists have painted early hunter-gatherers as peaceful, noble savages, and have argued that our culture, not our nature, creates violence. But field studies, historical accounts, and archaeology all show that war in primitive cultures was intense, pervasive and lethal.

Basically: the reason we as Homo Sapians find other human-ish figures unsettling and have an instinctual fear/aggression response called “The Uncanny Valley” is because we literally TOOK OVER THE WORLD by hunting down and killing every other hominid on the planet.

Dunno if the “9 species of hominid genocide” was a result of uncanny valley or the cause of it, but it’s a pretty sure bet to guess they’re linked.

Read more about it here :)

This is a wonderful post.

[sewickedthread]

Except, there are genetic indicators that there was some ‘mixing’ also going on (says the person with some Neanderthal genetics). So apparently we didn’t kill them all. 

Source I linked to is wikipedia, but I have read some academic articles I was too lazy to look up.

[jenniferrpovey]

The genocide theory is now considered thoroughly obsolete. While there was definitely physical conflict between modern humans and Neanderthals (we have found one Neanderthal skeleton that we think, but can’t prove, was murdered by a modern humans, there was also a lot of mating.

The lead theory now is that rather than killing all the Neanderthals, we actually out-competed them.

The Neanderthals had adapted to a very specific environment, in very specific ways. They were almost entirely reliant on hunting big game. Because they were cold-adapted, they probably had greater caloric needs.

For a while it all worked out. They got the cold plains just south of the glaciers, and we got the tropics. Then the climate changed, the glaciers melted, and some schmuck went and invented clothes.

The more adaptable species spread, and the less adaptable one faded…but again, there was mating.

By mating with Neanderthals, we picked up useful genes…and gave their species a legacy. But it’s even possible that they would have gone extinct without our input at all.

It’s not impossible we committed species-level genocide, but it’s unlikely.

(We still don’t know enough about the Denisovans to know what happened there, but there was definitely mating).

I have a feeling that your worries aren't all the faeries would take away

[tflatte]

well, it’s not wrong. once the fairies take you you stop worrying about what you used to worry about. granted, you start worrying about the fact that you’ve just been turned into a deer and are being chased by the wild hunt, but you know. not technically a lie.

[lakidaa]

honestly at this point just fucking do it.

When I was in college, my Stage Craft teacher showed us this.  Basically the machine heats up a sheet of plastic, and once it’s malleable enough it’ll be blown up to make room for whatever you want to imprint in the plastic.  Once it’s in place, the air reverses and the plastic vacuum-sucks all around the object.  

He demonstrated it on a baby doll and it was like a baby had been frozen in carbonite.  I got to take it home and I still have frozen-carbonite-baby to this day (his name is Franklin XD)

these are literally real

I tried to guess what the actual fuck “stand” is but every one of these photos both deepened my confusion and further deterred me from looking it up. Y'all just be you I guess

I love that they saved that until the very last moment.

It's like being hugged and then immediately punched in the face after.

no one is too busy, you’re just not a priority

[butchboy]

this is not true. hate bullshit like this, other humans are not here soley for your entertainment/companionship, loved ones wont always be there when you need them most, doesnt mean they love you any less. they have their own lives & feelings & every action of theirs is not a slight towards you or, g-d forbid, a judgement of ur worth. I get everyone has insecurities and mental tribulations but this type of thinking is just self-sabotaging ur self-worth & relationships.
