Watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron again as an adult is so great because not only do you appreciate the nostalgia and joy of it, the stunning 2D animation mixed with early 3D techonology and well written tight story with a main character that never speaks.

But also you appreciate that the plot relies on horses, despite not being typical talking horses in cartoons, being extremely intelligent to the point that they are aware of their captivity and exploitation. And it involves a hyper intelligent horse dismantling (or, at the very least significantly delaying) American colonialism's expansion into the west.

This horse also very likely killed many colonialists when they were either launched at high speeds from his back, kicked in the head or blown up in a train explosion.

Good for him.

#I also love how the humans continue to severely underestimate just how much damage this horse can do #imagine the Colonel rocking up to the train camp with the whole place on fire #so many men killed #all the horses gone with some probably getting stuck along the way because they're dragging literal chains #and he sees that goddamn buckskin mustang that wrecked his whole shit #and that he last saw jumping into a raging river #what a day he'd be having #that horse? played dead so he could kick off the chains on the horses and then sent a whole train rolling down a hill into another train #set the whole forest on fire - killed so many bystanders and probably woodland animals #this horse is a liability he just keeps wrecking our whole shit every time we capture him #seriously don't go near that horse I think he might be a god or something

So did Ashrah tell the shaolin she was bringing Sareena, or did they just have to find out the hard way?

#nrs PLEASE ANIMATE THIS #I wanna know how kung lao reacted when Sareena was brought over #unless ashrahs tower ending isn’t canon then nvm #i just wanna know how the flying FUCK did Ashrah not even acknowledge Sareena in that forest fight #like did she see her and think ‘here we go again’ 🙄?#probably just bad writing on nrs’s part but ashrah girly how did you not see your sister there??#Ashrah #sareena #kung Lao #Raiden #mk1 #mortal kombat 1

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - The World Within

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #the world within #dwarf woodlands #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #this world is interesting because it's so different from the rest #the sky looks like some sort of dome with triangular screens that project a broken glitchy sky #almost as if it takes place in some kind of data simulation #which i don't think is the case but it adds to the feeling of aqua's experiences here not feeling ''real''#i mean this place hardly even resembles what the original world is supposed to look like #like it changed to match aqua's psyche. forcing her to look at her own reflection and confront her own fears; doubts; guilt; and sadness #actually now that i think about it this feels extremely fitting for this world #it's like when snow white was running through the forest and was so afraid that it made the trees around her look alive and dangerous #except aqua has to wander this broken world and face her dark thoughts that take shape by looking exactly like her #she's constantly running in and out of mirrors into rooms that make no logical sense like the endless staircase and the pillar maze #there are ghostly echoes spoken in her own voice that mock her by saying no one can save her and no one wants to. it's chilling #i can't even say for sure if the phantom aquas are actually physically there or if it's all in her head #similar to how she'd see visions of terra and ven #she's such a tragic character

[OLD ART ALERT] A COLLECTION OF SCENES FROM THE GILLIONS CATSCRATCH ARC THAT BROUGHT ME GREAT JOY. i love fishy chips especially when its just gillion being delirious and violent and hostile

#jrwi fanart #jrwi show #jrwi riptide #jrwi riptide spoilers #JUST NOTICED A MILLION MISTAKES FUUUUUUUUCK BUT WWHATEVERRRRR IF I STARE AT THIS ANYMORE IM GONNA HHUURRRLLL #SO I REALLY LIKE FISH AND CHIPS RIGHT. IVE BEEN IN LOVE W THE SHIP EVER SINCE THAT NAT 20 KISS #BUT I THINK I SHIP IT WRONG. OR LIKE. I AM CORRECT BUT EVERYONE SHIPS THEM DIFFERENTLY #THE FISH N CHIPS I SEE EVERYWHERE ELSE IS SO FLOWERY AND SWEET AND ROMANTIC. AND THATS NICE! THAT STUFFS NEAT #but gillion and chip would NEVERRRR enter anything similar to a romantic relationship. chips too damaged and gillions too uninterested #I LIKE MY FISH N CHIPS ONE SIDED AS FUCK #bc 2 gillion chip is his best friend in the whole wide world but hes also kinduvagross little man that took him a MINUTE to really warm up2 #but to CHIP gillion is this powerful and gorgeous and heroic paragon of destiny and his best friend in the whole world who will #bring about the eschaton. 'i didnt believe in destiny until i met you' until i met a champion radiating with a light thatll alter the world #OHH REMEMBER THE FIRST ICE ARENA?he was so mad.still probably shaking from the ordeal.NEVER had he felt true divine radiance CLEAVE through #his SOUL like that.do you remember that moment in the forest w the bugs. an alien from the ocean; lacerating the land w lightning #when the realization flickered in chip for a moment.that the thing standing before him was more powerful than he could ever fathom #remember when grizz mentioned that the nat20 kiss was the 'best kiss chip ever experienced'. that has nothing to do w this. where was i.#LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. BUT HEY. I THINK at the beginning chip absolutely knew that gill was smth grand n powerful n scary #when gillion revealed what exactly the prophecy was;chip got defensive and mad.sure he was sleep deprived but OOH. HES SCARED!#he believes gillion too! he believes that his destiny is to eradicate either the sea or land and that scares him!#but then he gets past it bc ultimately he trusts his bestfriend gillion so so much. he fuckin loves this dude.#he would throw himself intothe path of fire for this dude. he would boat across the ocean for this dude.he would build arenas for this dude #even if this dude will end half the world.even if this dude wields the power and the obligation to eradicate him at any second.#even if this dude is going to throw himself into harms way for his own comrades.even if this dude is just going to sacrifice himself.#one way or another one shall die for the other.these self-sacrificial bastards click so well with eachother!!#chip believes his body is best used to pave roads and gill believes his body is destined to pave prosperity.WHATEVER!!#i really love their dynamic!! they care for eachother so much!in MY heart tho. the icing on the cake here is the fantasy that chip is #just a bit more In Love w gillion than he realizes. like this powerful fish guy is HOT and PRETTY and KIND and FUNNY and LOYAL and STRONG #but gillion would never rly feel that same sort of attraction towards chip. its just not rly his thing. aroace as fuck man.#thats how it is in MY little heart atleast. and i sit here and play w my touys in my brain n i explore my silly lil one sided fish y chips.

i may be less normal about yudrain than i previously thought reference for the text on hope under the cut

open for better quality | no reposts

#yuder aile #yudrain aile #turning novel #터닝 #fanart #myart #comic #do you ever think about how yudrain kept trying to ask the nobles for help and that meant he really thought that someone would believe him?#and do you ever think about how his hopes were crushed each time? bc i do.#haven't made much novel progress since last time but the part where yuder tells k.ishiar about the crack in the forest #and k.ishiar genuinely considers his opinion and suggests they keep an eye out #and yuder was so surprised that he listened to him #on one hand it's k.ishiar so it was likely he'd pay attention #on the other hand 2nd tl yuder has been putting in effort to care about his peers and let them care for him in turn #seeing his efforts rewarded was just so impactful to me #he deserves the world

I'm away from home for the month of June so I can only re-post old art, but here are some contemporary (as of ten years ago, anyway) Inquisition portraits while I wait to return to my scanner.

#dragon age #dragon age inquisition #fuck me I can't wait to draw those Evanuris #and also the new party members of course #I'm in a beautiful forest on a work retreat but all I do is wander around and think about dragon age #Like a useless smitten teenager #how can anybody expect me to be productive under this deluge though come on

I might be poking at a bear here but I kinda really dislike the "all or nothing" attitude the WoF fandom has. This character is evil the worst piece of garbage imaginable or is secretly a great character and you're just a fool for thinking otherwise. It's ridiculous at times

Like I recall the stuff with Secretkeeper a while back. Now, call me crazy, but I don't think she's some horrifically abusive and neglectful parent. She did the best that she could. Was it great? No, but she was trying to keep her daughter safe in a hostile world that she was terrified would reject or, worse, hunt her. Her leaving Moon alone for days was bad, yes, but she wanted to keep Moon free from the horrors of the volcano. She loved Moon and clearly took care of her a lot. You can't just look at a character and paint them as being a "horrible abusive POS" for something that, let's be real here, is much more forgivable and understandable than anything Coral, Scarlet, Diamond, Cobra, Jerboa, or Kestrel did

#Honestly– and I am quite sorry if this is obscenely rude or tone deaf of me– but I think a lot about that one anon #on the WoF confessions blog that kept sending long winded essays on why Secretkeeper was a bad mom #and it reminded me of when a fellow friend of mine said “y'know there is a time and place for criticism and analysis and it #should be considered and appreciated..however when a person is 10k+ words deep into how Moon betrayed Winter #and how Moon is a actually a horrible heartless monster while Winter is a helpless and innocent victim the analysis #becomes less about the topic at hand and more at the writer because it reveals how they perceive things and what they get fixated on“#Like Secretkeeper anon are you good?#sp-rambles #wof #Like of course you can argue and say whatever you want for her but eventually as time goes on you're just seeing the forest for the trees #When you go in hating Secretkeeper for whatever reason of course literally everything she says or does will be irredeemable

project moon is getting me with the girldads double whammy

ryoshu spider bud ego.... ryoshu getting the ego for the abnormality that's so fiercely protective of it's children to the point of murder... combined with how protective the artist is of his daughter in hell screen... she's the best dad on the bus

#i have a lot of feelings about ryoshu getting the spider bud ego #my horrible murderwoman who's also just a fantastic parent #my feelings about outis canto can also be copied over for ryoshu's canto. which is canto 9 #i need to see yuzuki. i know she is... probably dead considering uh.#“forest for the flames” is a reference to how she died (in a carriage that was set on fire)#(and a play on “not seeing the forest for the trees” which means focusing too much on detail not seeing the big picture)#(which is what the artist in hell screen was doing. he was so focused on each detail of the hell screen that. y'know)#(he didn't realize the man who commissioned the screen was going to kill his daughter. until it was too late)#and also considering ryoshu's cg from the tgs trailer is probably a nod to. how the artist hung himself after the screen was finished.#because of his daughter's death #i don't think limbus yuzuki survived. but we can hold out hope
