bluberryjelly replied to your post: RAT WEDDING Pictures! ♥

I get the impression you might like rats… Congrats!!! Lovely creative work and looks like an individualized and personal ceremony. Very happy for you!

ONLY A LITTLE :3 Thank you! I think having fun and not taking anything too seriously really made it more memorable ♥

@bluberryjelly​ : Ohmygod, you're saving for a dog?? I am so excited for youuu. You got a kofe or just patreon?

I have both! Ko-fi here and Patreon here.

It’s less saving for a dog and more getting myself to a financial point where I can justify the expense of having one. I have a ways to go before that because like, I’m not even really affording rent right now :S

I’m about to start my gay werewolves project though so I’m hoping that gets more people keen in my patreon :)

@bluberryjelly : I really liked it :/ its not perfect but its.. star wars?? not a series that became iconic for its mastercraft story telling

To each their own! I’m glad you could get something out of it that I couldn’t :)

I had issues with a lot of stuff really (not just the storytelling fuckups). 

I personally didn’t like the direction they took Poe or Luke. Rey, I felt, was shortchanged by a story in which she was supposed to be the protagonist. And Finn got very little in the way of character progression at all - what he DID get was markedly similar to his arc in TFA IMO.

And then just, yeah, random things:

We make a big deal of saving alien horses but leave the slave children be

Rose explaining to Finn, a literal child soldier, the concept of slavery

We establish Poe as a hothead who must be in the thick of battle at all times (which, ugh, but let’s play this out) AND THEN have him willingly stay behind on the damn ship while Rose and Finn run off on their side quest??

Humour during scenes that should have had more gravity

An air of distain for all the hooks set up in the first movie

Etc etc etc.

Sorry, this kinda turned into a rant... I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS!

bluberryjelly replied to your photoset: One more for good measure! Some WIP photos from my...

do you use white paint for the highlights? i thought gel pen but im not sure how you got like the low opacity highlights on the nose??

I do use gel pen! I start with white, let it dry, and then go over it with another gel pen or marker color. The nose was a very light purple marker, and the orange on Red’s hood was a neon gel pen. Same for the red glint in the wolf’s eye, and there is some blue around the edge of his head and chin.

HEY there, so you have literally never once led me astray with the movies/shows you reblog, and I'm in the market for some fresh meat-- so if you don't mind me asking, what do you recommend to watch??

OOOOOOOO

I could honestly spend the rest of my weekend on this list but in an effort to at least pretend I have a life I’m only listing those shows/movies that a) I don’t see a lot of on my dash and b) that make for uplifting viewing.

These are my re-watchables. My comfort food media :)

Shows:

LeverageFound-family criminals with hearts of gold + the greatest OT3 to ever OT3.

White CollarConman-turned-White-Collar-Crimes consultant Matt Bomer is distressingly attractive in suits + his FBI handler Peter has the most amazing marriage I’ve ever seen on screen.

Burn NoticeTwenty-first century MacGyver complete with helpful voiceover instructions whenever something gets technical. This show taught me at least three ways to turn a microwave into a bomb. So much competence porn.PsychThe title is a pun and the show gets away with shit like this:

Brooklyn Nine-NineLook if you haven’t watched this yet I don’t know what to tell you. Do the thing.

Broad CityI usually can’t stand shows that so much as brush my second-hand embarrassment radar but somehow Ilana’s inability to give any fucks about the cringe-worthy situations she and Abbi find themselves in translates through the screen and I find myself strangely uplifted.

Sense8EVERY. ONE. IS. QUEER. IT’S. SO. FUCKING. BEAUTIFUL.

Avatar: the last airbenderI have seen intense, international biopics with a less nuanced depiction of world war than this Nickelodeon cartoon. Also Zuko's character arc is a thing of goddamn beauty.

GalavantFourth-wall breaking, self-referential, medieval musical. That is all.

Movies:

PenelopeChristina Ricci is “cursed with the face of a pig” and has to marry a blueblood to break the spell. James McAvoy is a waifish, floppy-haired musician with a crippling gambling problem. MAGIC HAPPENS. Also Peter Dinklage is there and he’s fantastic.

The Final GirlsA group of friends are sucked into a tacky, 80s slasher flick and have to abide by all the tropes to survive. I laughed until I cried, and then I actually cried at the end because for a ridiculous spoofy horror-comedy this movie actually brings all the mother-daughter feels.

White House DownChanning Tatum is on a tour of the White House with his daughter when a bunch of white-supremacist war mongers attack the place because they don’t like President Jamie Foxx trying to push peaceful international agendas. OBVIOUSLY Tatum must save the president and look very attractive and badass doing so.

Attack the Block“Big gorilla-wolf motherfucker” aliens land in the London projects and a group of teens led by John Boyega must fight them off. I watched this before Boyega was even hinted at being in Star Wars and I remember thinking, “holy shit, this dude is gonna go places” and LO AND BEHOLD \o/

MegamindTrope-bendy amazingness: an evil genius accidentally kills off his heroic nemesis and doesn’t know where to go from there. Also the soundtrack is the shit.

Rock of AgesLovingly spoofy rock numbers, surprise queer love, and the only time I’ve EVER seen a strip club depicted on screen with girls ACTUALLY pole dancing.

HAPPY VIEWING!

Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.

RE: Okay I just came across a tumblr theme...

@rhyperographer​ answered: Can’t you just view page source in your browser anyways? >_> What’s the point in that?

YEP. All I had to do was manually navigate to view the source from the tool bar so *hands*

@myrinthinks​ answered: I saw this *once* on a (non-tumblr) site where you couldn’t right-click on the pictures because they were copyrighted or whatever but that’s the only time I’ve ever come across something like this.

Yeah, I’ve seen that too. Instagram does it (though you can get around it by inspecting the source and finding the original src)

@bluberryjelly answered: I’ve never really understood “stealing” coding like… it’s.. code is like words?? I mean if you’ve strung the words together in a super unique way, sure, but otherwise it’s like… this stuff is available? on websites? in books??

Like, if you’re lifting a whole application (which would require server access so it’s kinda a moot point) fair enough but even then, most projects actually INVITE you to contribute to and innovate their code (Github anyone??). Web development is overwhelmingly an open source community. We learn with and from each other, oftentimes by frankensteining existing code. To cut yourself off from that - particularly if you yourself are learning/have learned from the open source community - just seems really baffling (and kinda dickish tbh).

bluberryjelly said: GOD THAT EPISODE nono no ugh ugh it’s literally the /only/ episode in the entire show that I can’t handle. *shudders* also UR WELCOME <3

T_T I JUST FINISHED THE EPISODE. There’s always one episode in every season that gets me all cringe-y and for season 1, that would be the episode. Season 2 was, and I remember it quit vividly because I went screaming out of my room, the mural of people episode. >A> HOW DO YOU DO IT IF IT’S THE ONLY EPISODE IN THE SHOW YOU CAN’T HANDLE? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS FRIEND!
