I would die for Tessa. I would find her 200 toothbrushes.

[crowcaws]

So it looks like Tessa has been using these veggietales toothbrushes for ages, but has misplaced the stash.

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago

2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

If you're hypermobile, be especially gentle.

Add in wrist exercises and 6+ hours of crochet time are back on the table.

I think acknowledging that even with your own history of trials and adversities that there are people who have it worse shouldn’t be taken as an attack on your ego or your very real experiences but a push to better the world around you because if it was bad for you, it’s especially unacceptable that there are people who objectively need more support and have faced greater intensity and frequency of violence, poverty and discrimination. None of us should be treated that way. That’s a positive attitude I don’t see many have, merely defensiveness.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing

I'm sorry- Actually I'm not sorry- for being crazy about Moonlight. It just eats me alive inside that it managed to do all those things and make history and be a fucking BRILLIANT film, and people just... Overlook it. Won Best Picture and people treat it like it's indie.

It's one that everyone here who asks me questions could be assed to watch, because it is a PERFECT example of nuanced writing of Black characters. It is genuinely that good. You know how sometimes we go crazy over shit that's mid, but we do it because that's our taste? No, Moonlight is actually THAT GOOD. I am willing to stake my honor on it that it is excellent.

"How do I write a character that has a bad home life-" Chiron.

"But what if he's getting bullied-" Chiron.

"How do I write a Black boy that struggles with-" CHIRON!!!!!! It's Chiron, it's Chiron you wanna study!!

The only way you wouldn't find that movie perfect is if you genuinely cannot empathize with a Black person on screen, I am firm on that. Because if you open your Eyes and Watch it, it's that good. Like trust me, I didn't believe it at first either, and then I watched it and was converted.

we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme

[lloerwyn-deactivated20201104]

Ah yes, those slutty slutty Landsknecht shorts:

[petermorwood]

The bare-legged / hot-pants look was fairly common, since the whole point about being a Landsknecht (or Reislaufer, their Swiss equivalent) was to look outrageous.

Most period illustrations of Landsknechts are black-and-white woodcuts…

…though in 1905 a book called „Geschichte des Kostüms“ - History of Costume - assembled a bunch of black-and-whites and added colour.

If they look excessively gaudy, they’re not, because these next prints were coloured in-period by an artist called Erhard Schön, and it’s fair to assume he was representing what he saw.

In short - or in shorts - those reenactor costumes are spot on. :->

[brightwanderer]

Something mentioned nowhere in this post that I have just learned from googling: these guys were not Ye Olde Medieval Dandies. They were 15th-16th century mercenaries. Pretty hardcore, too. They were exempt from sumptuary laws (ie the rules that said you couldn’t wear certain colours or cloth or styles) and apparently their response to that was technicolour thotpants.

[tuulikki]

I was complaining earlier about costuming in both “historical” settings and in fantasy/scifi. This is exactly what I mean when I say a knowledge of actual history would enrich the conceptual creative palette for things like “hardcore mercenary outfits.”

[joe-spookyy]

say what you will about IT (1990) as an adaptation but i think the creative choice of changing the narrative so that eddie kaspbrak could come out as a virgin, share (unprompted) that it’s because the only people he loves enough to fuck are the members of his 80% male childhood friend group, and then immediately kick the bucket is actually the greatest thing ever. Amazing. no notes. genius work.

[rabbitscreams]

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

[rabbitscreams]

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

[danielsarmand]

as soon as i read richie's reflection about the werewolf guy in the movie, i knew it was going to come back to haunt my nightmares. lo and behold! it did!

there is just so much to be said about richie's biggest fear being, essentially, himself. his own repression and avoidance, his own inability to sit still with his emotions for more than half a second.

the shapes pennywise takes are never just the literal thing he becomes; those are always representations of deeper, more complex fears. however, with richie's it's especially striking and it really has you sit there staring at his name on the wolf's varsity jacket in abject horror, perhaps because richie didn't even fully realize his fear until it was looking back at him. he is terrified something Bad is brewing inside him, ready to burst out whenever he's too exhausted to keep it at bay. he is terrified that as soon as the façade falters, he will become nuclear. i am distraught

Hair Love - 2D animated short by Matthew A. Cherry. Heartwarming story about a black father learning to do his daughter’s hair and bonding with one another.
