MildlyInteresting dump

The corrosion on this water tap looks like a map

This spectrum of eggs from my mom’s chickens.

The chain of Starburst wrappers I’ve been building for three years

My friend’s smoked cauliflower looks like an explosion.

I took a photograph at the exact same time this photographer took hers - and caught her flash lightning the scene.

Fan looks like it’s missing a blade

My friend’s cat was recently put down, and the vet gave him this paw print of his cat that is full of flower seeds to be planted

This half dollar cut out by hand

The apple’s skin I cut looks like from a low-poly game

My friends bathroom is also the entrance to his basement

These horses have tail lights

This airport has free arcade games to help pass the time

My roommate painted ornaments of everyone in our house.

Photo I took of a lake through the lense of binoculars looks like a planet.

The snow/ice in this pic looks like the ocean

This can of paint looks like a cat.

This tiny plant growing in my car window

The pole in this picture makes it look like two different pictures.

The way this dead cactus decomposed, leaving only the spines behind

My mom found a baby owl on the porch behind the firewood

This moss covered boot found in the woods.

My school’s library has noise-level guides that change colour when it gets too loud

The way this snow stayed in place when the trunk was opened/closed

I’m so tired of stereotypes that come along every Black women. And the fact that they were created by the white media really pisses me off! I am very proud of all Black girls and I admire all their accomplishments despite the hate of the modern society. 

#BlackGirlMagic is not just a hashtag, it strengthens our self-respect and emphasizes our importance!

I keep cracking up at that 1 guy who got a muffin from his family. It looks like a bran muffin. Meanwhile everyone else gets a ton of food or gifts.

“Now give me your best grito!”

[petr1kov]

in the lyrics of ‘remember me’, héctor specifically asked coco to remember him 'each time [she hears] a sad guitar’, but knowing how fully imelda erased any sort of music from her family’s life for generations to come, it just might be that coco spent the rest her life without hearing a single chord of a sad guitar until miguel played for her

[dikanamai]

Working on a new gifset, I’ve noticed again this beautiful detail in the post-cenote scene:

The way Hector shakes his head briefly when Imelda says “You leave me alone with a child to raise, and I’m just supposed to forgive you?”…

… and the way Imelda shakes her head with horror when she sees him collapsing by the final death’s spasms.

Both gestures are very, very subtle, it’s easy to miss them while watching the movie. But you find a lot of little treasures like these ones when you’re working frame to frame.

I’m still astonished of how awesome the body language is in Coco, at every level, from Hector’s histrionics to Imelda’s grimaces.

I managed to get a little something done for today :D

Hector’s and Coco’s skull markings

I usually find myself studying screenshots from Coco. I just noticed that Hector and Coco have the same markings on their skulls (in different colors).

I like to think that this detail represents how similar is Coco’s personality to Hector’s personality. Hector is humorous, mischievous, warm hearted, a hopeless romantic and so full of life (ironic ha-ha).

On the other hand Imelda is stubborn, fierce, passionate and more uptight than her husband (when it comes to expressing her feelings -except when she’s angry. She really knows how to express her dissatisfaction-)

Coco is stubborn like her mother (-I’ll try analysing Coco’s personality explicitly on another post) but I think that she resembles more her father.

Héctor still being a lovestruck gentleman, even while Imelda still believes he’s a cad.

Happy Anniversary Coco! ( In México ) - 27/10/2017

[feynites]

Coco and Moana both teach kids the rare-but-important lesson that sometimes parents who love you, but who have been through traumatic things in the past, can make bad decisions for you out of fear.

This is an important distinction from the usual varieties of parents where either they are evil and do bad things to their children, or are good and it turns out that their actions were right all along, even if the child didn’t understand at the time.

Loving parents, families who genuinely care about their kids, can still end up stifling them in an effort to keep them safe. It’s hard to shoulder the responsibility of protecting and guiding another human, and so it’s easy to mess it up from time to time, even when you don’t mean to. Chief Tui didn’t want Moana to drown in the ocean. Mama Imelda didn’t want Miguel to abandon everything else in pursuit of music. 

Their fears came from understandable places. From genuine trauma, and bad things that had happened to them.

But they were also both wrong. If Moana hadn’t sailed off to find Maui and restore things, she would have died on the ‘safe’ island along with everyone else. If Miguel had been forced to give up his music, he would have only continued to resent his family, and would have lost the closeness they had through another, different kind of tragedy.

It was important that they learn where their loved ones were coming from. But in the end, they were right to change things, too.
