Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

my current starter king whose retiring in a week who i barely customized besides bad luck rma’s but he’s almost at natural retirement age so i figure ill show him once before he dies. and then next to him is my heir set to take over for him, a clean g3 flint w primal fangs i bred myself :-) he’ll likely get some app markings once he’s kinged but i do like him simple how he is

the two guys on the bottom are work in progress heirs, i’m working on breeding g2-g3 clean smilus and frail pies i can mut rep with. waiting for the smilus’s mom to be in heat again so i can try a crunchy and hopefully successfully clone her. the black n white guy already exists i bred him recently (without the mut ofc) and liked him, he’d just need a base and skin changer and making his marks all 100% opacity. i thought that was only 1gb in the oasis but apparently it’s 2 for each mark. sad! anyway i’ll have months before i really NEED a heir but currently i plan on doing both these at some point, id need to just keep some submales on a side and not rollover.. i do really want a primal king still (it would be a lot easier to breed the smilus i need that way..) but that pie is so swag. really depends what order i get the mut reps bred tbh

fireworks is really underrated as a fantasy weapon with the highest "aesthetically pleasing to wield" to "horrifying to be on the receiving end of" ratio

some of you need to make your bed and have a shower with a soap that smells nice, and then sit in a chair near the window and have tea with milk and read a hardcover book and see how your creative block is after that tbh.
