Sometimes I complain about writing but at least I don't have to know anything about colour theory. God truly gives his hardest battles (figuring out shading and anatomy) to his strongest warriors (artists)

I feel like there are probably too many people just scrolling past this so let’s go through everything that’s going on here. 

1. With Roger’s voice actor standing off camera, Bob Hoskins acts into empty air and frantically sawing at his handcuff, continually looking up and down at different visual marks of various depths. Look at the slow pan up of his eyes in gif 4, and then the quick shift to his side. Think about how, on set, he was looking at nothing. 

2. Starting in gif 2, The box must be made to stop shaking, either by concealed crew member, mechanism, or Hoskins own dextrousness, as he is doing all of the things mentioned in point 1. 

3. In all gifs, Roger’s handcuff has to be made to move appropriately through a hidden mechanism. (If you watch the 4th gif closely you can see the split second where it is replaced by an animated facsimile of the actual handcuff, but just for barely a second.)

4. The crew voluntarily (we know this because it is now a common internal phrase at Disney for putting in extra work for small but significant reward) decided to make Roger bump the lamp and give the entire scene a constantly moving light source that had to be matched between the on set footage and Roger. This was for two reasons, A) Robert Zemeckis thought it would be funnier, and B) one of the key techniques the crew employed to make the audience instinctually accept that Toons coexisted with the live action environment was constant interaction with it. This is why, other than comedy, Roger is so dang clumsy. Instead of isolating Toons from real objects to make it easier for themselves, the production went out of its way to make Toons interact more with the live action set than even real actors necessarily would, in order to subtly, constantly remind the audience that they have real palpable presence. You can watch the whole scene here, just to see how few shots there are of Roger where he doesn’t interact with a real object. 

The crew and animators did all of this with hand drawn cell animation without computerized special effects. 1988, we were still five years out from Jurassic Park, the first movie to make the leap from fully physical creature effects to seamlessly integrating realistic computer generated images with live action footage. Roger’s shadows weren’t done with CGI. Hoskin’s sightlines were not digitally altered. Wires controlling the handcuff were not removed in post. 

Who fucking Framed Roger fucking Rabbit, folks. The greatest trick is when people don’t realize you’re tricking them at all.

This movie will be studied and analyzed and revered and worshipped for generations because, not only of the ground breaking techniques they used to make the magic happen but, for those of us that grew up with Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, for 2 hours we were able to believe that they all really existed.

This is one if the LAST great movies that was ever made.

[benpaddon]

Let’s also not forget that writing. “Only when it was funny” isn’t just hilarious, it’s great comedy theory. It lampshades the joke, but also serves to remind the viewer that Toons have a separate set of physical laws they adhere to, mostly revolving around comedic value. Roger cannot remove his hand from the cuffs… until it’d get a laugh from an audience.

Everything about this movie, EVERYTHING about it, is so finely crafted. I could wax lyrical about it for days.

Fanfic Xmas Bingo 2025

Took a break from editing my new book to make up some Fanfic Xmas Bingo Cards! If they look tempting, please use them and if you remember, tag me when you post because I'd love to read what you come up with! Have fun!

[neverwhere]

Sad and terrible news.

This post was written by @lazytechsupport If you knew @neverwhere then please read, minding the content warnings in the tags.

If you feel that you can pass this post on to anyone you know who might have known her, that would be a huge help.

Just after 12am local time (8am BST) on October 16th 2025, Nevvie collapsed mid-sentence and never regained consciousness. Despite the best efforts of myself and the emergency services she slipped away rapidly and was pronounced dead within the hour. The LA coroner won't be investigating the cause of her sudden death because "she was fat". I am pursuing a 3rd party investigation and waiting for more information.

This happened six days after our 16th anniversary, Nevvie was 47. Four years ago we lost our home to a fire. This year she lost her father while I was in hospital for emergency spine reconstruction surgery. Though it could be stressful she had a job she loved at Sega, a company she could be proud to be part of, one she helped to unionize.

She was thrilled to have learned that week what her next project was going to be. When her current project was complete we were going to take some time for ourselves away from everything and reconnect with friends. I'm in shock and feel like I have been twisted inside out. My soulmate has been taken away.

We are going to be having a celebration of life for her on the 16th of November, 12pm-3pm.

It can be attended in person or online. If you're in the LA area or wish to join the remote stream, please send an email to [email protected].

This link will show you what that is in your local time: timeanddate link

If you would insist on assisting directly with the investigation into the cause of her sudden and tragic passing then we have a gofundme to cover those expenses: - https://gofund.me/ff8ebcd30 Otherwise in lieu of flowers, gifts, or prayers we request that donations might be made to any of the following in her memory: The Aquarium of the Pacific: - https://support.aquariumofpacific.org/give/230828/#!/donation/checkout The American Association of People with Disabilities: - https://www.aapd.com/donate-to-aapd/ The LGBTQ Center in Long Beach: - https://www.centerlb.org/donate/ The UK Wild Otter Trust: - https://ukwildottertrust.org/donate/ MindOut, a UK LGBTQ Mental Health Service - https://mindout.org.uk Or, support someone asking for #MutualAid on your social media site of choice and form a union.

But most importantly, look after yourself. -James/ Sprite/ @lazytechsupport

Fandom genuinely went wrong when people started imagining a divide between fandom creators and everyone else.

As a fandom creator I am not here to serve you or to "create content" for you, or to make the things that you want to see.

I create fandom works for myself, and they are graciously shared with you. If you don't want to enjoy them, that's fine, but you don't get to demand that I make something else.

You don't get to show up at my dinner table unexpected and start demanding I cook you the meal you personally want to eat.

[three--rings]

This is the one. There didn't use to be Creators and Consumers. If you didn't write or draw or meta or vid or whatever, you were sorta expected to admin or contribute SOMEHOW.

Oh and I want to fight all the Gen Z kids who are like ‘teehee, we’ll just do lavender marriages instead!’ Some of us are adults who want equal rights and protections under the law of our land.

[myfootyrthroat]

Yeah, we wanted legal marriages because your spouse's horrid family could show up, get you kicked out of the hospital, steal all of their stuff, and there was nothing you could do about it.

[moggiepillar]

When my wife went in for surgery before we got married, it was me and her horrifically homophobic mother in the surgery center waiting room and I knew without a doubt that if anything went wrong, I would be expected to leave without any access to her belongings, the pictures of us on her phone, or the funeral itself, and the obituary would not mention me or our relationship at all.

And that was after almost a decade of marriage equality! The fear and anxiety leading up to that surgery and the recovery process after reinforced for me just how important marriage can be. It’s a form of self-determination.

I have lived for ten years with my partner because same sex marriage existed as a pathway to being allowed to share the same city. Those victories bought that decade.

Lavender marriages could not buy me that immigration ability. End of fucking story.

There's plenty about marriage law that could stand to be reformed, but same sex marriage opens up so many options for family unification that are otherwise verboten. If we lose it, it will be a great loss.

In many ways, Obergefell was the last great progressive legislative victory of my young adulthood. Since then we have been playing catch up with fascists. It does not surprise me that it is a major target in the fascist campaign to break the spirit of America.

[corinnetags]

One of the big reasons I got married at 21 was that I was moving to a different state for grad school and would be living with and somewhat dependent on my spouse.

I had already spend years advocating for marriage equality, so I knew why it was so important. When the person I was with happened to be legal for me me marry, I wasn’t going to give up those rights.

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

Yea, you had changelings and demonic possession and “brats” and “back talk”, and kids that were “not all there”, your aunt who’s “crazy”, and your second cousin no one ever talks about cuz he’s “special”, and if you’re fucking lucky, your elder uncle who lives a nice quiet life with his 70 lego sets and writes grocery stores about changing the light bulbs cuz they’re too harsh.

I know I literally  just reblogged this but I love this video so much it always makes me laugh because

1. “LADIES”

2. The very disappointed “Eclair…”

3. “WHAT?” (High pitched mooing in response)

4. The way they turn into Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch as they get progressively more frustrated
