I’m obsessed with this because this woman is me (if I had a cricut). I make fun of all this shit but also I am SO into it. The balance between genuine lust for a good Pinterest craft and pure sarcasm in her voice is amazing. 10/10

Also? Cool of her to make something clever that kids can just go up to and take a pencil instead of possibly embarrassing themselves by asking around for one if they don’t have one, forgot it, etc.

[ID: A partial screenshot of a tweet reading “Paulina (Pau) Oliver, contemporary Mexican ‘embroidery style’ tattoo artist’ #womensart”. Underneath the text is a picture of a light-skinned arm with a large tattoo from shoulder to elbow. The tattoo is done in embroidery style, meaning the tattoo looks like realistic threads sewn on the arm at first glance. The tattoo is two blue and turquoise flowers with pale yellow centers and matching blue leaf-like designs curling away from them. End ID.]

HEARTBREAKING: piece of media got incredibly popular and a lot of annoying people started hyping it up and recommending it so you avoided it on principle and you finally checked it out and it's actually very good

it wasn't "some reason", it was 2D animators being unionized and 3D not being unionized. and the simple truth that capitalism kills art.

[loubatas]

I remember when 2D faded out, the reason studios kept giving was "it's because 2D is a lot more expensive to produce". I was a child back then so I didn't think too much about it, assuming it was about the process itself, but as I grew up and learned more about art as an artist, and gained friends who were professional 3D artists themselves, I started to question it. Because 3D is very different from 2D, but it's definitely not easier or faster to make. Also, both European and Asian studios kept producing 2D animated movies

The answer was unions. The answer wasn't "this kind of art is cheaper because it's easier to make", it was "this kind of art is cheaper because these artists can't force us to pay them correctly"

the ending of well of ascension is so funny to me. everyone's all excited cuz vin's going to do the right thing! she's going to save the world! she's trusting and honoring elend's words and will give up the power rather than save his life! she's learned to love and trust fully! and then it very, very rapidly declines into "oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no."

MDZS Mulan AU Part 1: A Girl Worth Fighting For

I’ve had this idea since a couple of years ago when the live action Mulan came out, and I plan on moving forward with it this year (I have several ideas).

Also because JC is the biggest mama’s boy. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh my gosh y’all it was hyperbole but I stand by Dalinar being one of the worst fathers in the Cosmere. You don’t get to abandon your children in your drunken grief and pain and be called a good father. You don’t get to live vicariously through your “one good useful son” while ignoring your neurodivergent son because he’s different and be called a good father. You don’t get to murder their mother in a blood frenzy and then be called a good father. Adolin raised himself and then he raised Renarin while trying to keep his dad alive and healthy and not drunk.

To me abandoning your kids because you can’t deal with your own issues is just as bad as sending one to marry a God-king or treating your son like he is absolutely worthless and then trying to take his kingdom from him.

I love Dalinar. I love his journey, I love his redemption arc, and I love that he is trying to make things better. But that doesn’t erase the fact that he is one of the worst fathers in the Cosmere and I will die on this hill.
