u really just get to treat your blorbos the way they were always meant to be treated. given headpats. picked up by the scruff and given batteries to eat and play with. they truly are in their enclosure

I saw this today and immediately thought of @jennilah. I hope you see this; I am so sorry to hear about Zeus. He was an awesome pupper. Thought this might make you smile.

i have watched that fucking "its ME boy, Im the PS5," video so much since last night its actually poisoning my brain. its going to be rent free for a long time

filmmaking purposes aside, in-universe i appreciate when John and the Jiglets install fun lights on their traps for aesthetics

i say this bc me and the homies were literally still just sobbing about the finale

its actually such a shame how many people see The Amazing Digital Circus from the outside and they think "uuuhgh" and lump it in with like, idk, probably shit like Garten of Banban

when actually its one of the most poignant mature animation series ive seen in a long long time. you know, with an actual plot and heavy themes and TONS of nuance and none of that nasty "adult animation" art style, like people have been begging for more of in animation spaces for a long time

drop preconceived notions. embrace a genuinely well-written and well-produced and well-executed show. with your brain screwed in, please. it was meant for way more than surface-level analysis and black-and-white thinking and stupid arguments. its a deep one that I'd say has a number of valid ways to be interpreted and related to.

god if theres just 1 thing i want people to get from my pain, rage, and rants, is that if ANY article, interview, tiktok, behind the scenes claims a movie was made "without CGI", its just lying and contributing to the *HARMFUL* narrative that we're supposed to think people's HARD WORK is some cheap and lazy thing we're supposed to hate according to... (reads smudged words).. ?? entertainment news?? thats it really.

while AI is coming for us too, I don't wanna hear shit about vfx artists' hundreds of hours of passionate labor being reduced to computer slop. The hypocrisy is just... enraging.

but seriously, you could see the rant forming here. Just take away ONE thing: THOSE. ARTICLES. ARE. LYING. EVERY. TIME. if they're not outright telling anti-truths, they're just spreading misinformation they heard elsewhere. and the hundreds of vfx artists that brought that movie to life, who cant defend themselves because of their NDA agreements, are wincing

latest from my vfx hero:

edit: sorry, less angry closing statement:

i believe its all about your frame of mind, which media news outlets have been changing for the negative over the last decade. vfx work used to be celebrated and "cool". ILM was practically a household name from their advancements in the technology and how it expanded what we're able to accomplish in storytelling and filmmaking. Advancements that have been going on since the dawn of movies.

if what you believe you're watching on screen is a form of art, made by hundreds of artists, flaws and all, then you will be happier to view it as such. if what you believe you're watching is "real," you will have a bad time when you learn the "truth" and want something to blame. Remember, movies are movies. If you need to see something real, you are in the wrong place.
