My sample came in! Might make a tweak or two but he came out amazing! And he spins for a long time and was easy to put together, which is perfect.

I'll be ordering a batch of these for sale pretty soon. 🫣

Talking about how he loves his horsey and his horsey loves him.

If I really think about it, I feel like the way Rayman is presented as a celebrity and so on leans more towards Asian idol culture than Western celebrity culture…

Western celebrities have way more control over their image and are allowed to express their opinions. Maybe with some help from PR, but that’s just how I understand it so far. Meanwhile, Asian idol culture tends to lean far and beyond towards parasocialism. Their fans are intense and are made to think they are close friends or even have a chance to date their faves. As such, the way they’re presented is heavily curated (any socials are usually controlled by the company) and the idol is trained heavily, a lot of the time it’s so they know how to provide fan-service. This parasocialism is heavily encouraged.

I feel like when celebrities/idols are mentioned, the usual thought is of those that are curated for teens/adults. But you can also apply this to the Rayman Kidz show too, since he’s presented as some sort of Big Brother figure.

Ah, I remember reading this page that said stalking in Western societies is usually an individual thing, but in Asian societies it tends to be a communal thing…

There’s also stuff like marketing, culture differences, etc… There’s definitely way more to this that I’ll go into in The Google Doc™, maybe even dedicate a whole section to it, but that’s basically my thoughts. 🤔

this video of saleh aljafarawi is very relevant. please watch until the end. then i want everyone reading this post to learn more about @ahmed8311 and do everything within their power to extend a help in whatever form they deem fruitful. Ahmed Abushammala created a gfm last April 8th, 2024. he's been tirelessly asking people to spare him their time and money for almost five months already, despite the hostility they face in this social media platform. (i can not reach out to him even though we are mutuals for so long because he is shadowbanned!!) 5 months of navigating this hellsite and they are still barely 12% of their target. 5 months of dreading what would happen to your loved ones amidst genocide and deaths! read his story linked below and ask yourself what would you do if you were faced with such situation. what would you feel being separated with the most important people in your life and the world remains passive.

this is a legitimate campaign vetted and verified by @/el-shab-hussein himself here. do not hesitate to donate and share! time is of essence and i really really really need you all to start campaigning for @ahmed8311. i worry for him and his family. everyone must do whatever they can to save his family. donate. share. make raffles or commissions or posts for this family. please. follow him @ahmed8311 for updates and to boost his posts. tumblr has been silencing palestinian voices like ahmed for way too long. and we should never tolerate such blatant censorship!

tag list under the cut for wider reach. i hope it's okay. dm me to be included/excluded. tysm. 🇵🇸 from the river to the sea, palestine will be free within our lifetime.

Thank you for commission of Voodoo Mama and Mama Híte, @cottage-fr0g

To me these two are absolute besties and Híte is the inspiration behind Voodoo's hairstyle.

Rayman's 29th Birthday - There's always hope!

so...I drew this yesterday, i wanted to upload yesterday on Rayman's B-Day, makes sense? But I couldn't cuz the blackout lights + wifi was so shitty that mobile internet didn't helped at all either, i'm so upset about it (literally wifi "fuck you and yo Rayman" (/j) but it's fiiine...still managed to upload it even if a day later than i actually want it..

But..besides that, Happy b-day to our goofy limbless hero! :D I made it pretty simple, bit heartwarming if you will, and i tried to draw Rayman bit..proper with snout which i don't like how it looks? in my art style at least but maybe i will just practice if i wanna

I know this lots of rambling, i'm sorry, just still mad about yesterday :') I love Rayman a lot, i still kinda feel like I can never be the "true" rayman fan cuz...I got into it after Captain Laserhawk but a fan is a fan + I played quite different Rayman games to get the feel of his aesthetic - still my favorite Rayman 3 and Origins ^^

i don't know how to end this so..eh?
