this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die

most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic

idk why this is making me so emotional???

Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.

sorry to make this long post longer, but I feel like it needed some actual photos of Cab Calloway, who is, in fact, the greatest

I’m searching for something that’ll give me inspiration. Story often does that, as well as people or memories I feel an emotional connection to.

But that’s the problem: I don’t experience emotional connections like others do. I’m a schizotype, and consequently my (mostly) gray palette of emotions limits my connectivity to anything.

The fact that my capacity to enjoy life or be affected by tragedy is fairly limited doesn’t bother me much. I don’t know any different. 

I’m just annoyed because I know it would make writing music with purpose more intuitive.

sex scene = the audience is uncomfortable and learns nothing 

[batgirlsoundsystem-deactivated2]

Sax scene= the audience is impressed and learns love for the saxophone

*YMCA plays* “Is that the song of God I hear?”

“No one is allowed to pee at band camp except me”

“Everyone who speaks above a low pitch is on my hit list”

“Hazed? You wanna get hazed? I’ll throw you in the fire”

“Instead of popping pills, pop reeds”

Why is Jesus Feral

[birdtypegirl]

- Killed a tree because he was angry that it didn’t give him fruit when it wasn’t fruit season

- Destroyed a bunch of tables and chased the owners with a whip

- Blew up and then acted like he didn’t know nobody (Mark 3:33)

- Yelled at his followers for interrupting his nap to let him know their boat was about to sink

- Healed a blind man by spitting on him

- Explicitly ordered his followers to steal a donkey for him

And that’s just the highlights from Mark.
