I can’t BELIEVE they’ve gone back to Porky living in a normal house and Daffy living in his bathtub. I have held “Porky & Daffy” in my heart for all these years as an ideal of portrayal. This is the happiest day of my life

SO NICE I'M POSTING THIS TWICE FOR CONTEXT just because i want to look at it again. ughhhhhhh the little bird on Porky's bedpost one of the photos released also has another, DIFFERENT little bird. if he's like Snow White or something i will cry. just don't let him around any dogs because he'll drop them from staircases or encourage them to jump off bridges

I MEANT TO ANSWER THIS WAY EARLIER, BUT IT WORKS OUT BECAUSE LOOK AT WHAT THE WARNER DEUTSCHLAND CHANNEL JUST POSTED TODAY:

I'M SO HAPPY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UGHGHGHGGHHG!!!! IT IS SUCH A GOOD PORTRAYAL ISN'T IT.. when LTC first came out i was very confident the opening to Firehouse Frenzy was a reference as well

I'M. SO. EXCITED. i know this needs to speculation like yeah no DUH. BUT AHHHHHHH. UGHHHHH I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE. i'm so excited to see what other homages to other shorts are in store. I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T ARTICULATE MYSELF. i was gonna have some big eloquent explanation about how much i love Porky & Daffy (the characters too) but my words are stopping short because i literally cannot focus because i am just SHROUDED WITH EXCITEMENTTTTTT CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!

since i am in a CARTOON SHARING MOOD, here is the opening to Porky & Daffy for those who have never seen it because i have no idea when else i would post the entire opening. it's so endearing!!! look at the shaky camera truck-in and dissolve to the house... back when they were still struggling with how to do diagonal camera pans and double exposure effects.. :'))) i miss reviewing this era of cartoons profusely

i have a deep fondness for stuff like the shot of Porky grabbing the paper, Clampett seemed to have a similar fondness of starting shorts out of this era with close shots like that (Porky's Party opens on a very synonymous shot of Porky lighting the candles on the cake). Bobe Cannon's animation of Porky is adorable. some really smooth and hypnotic Chuck Jones animation of Daffy boxing with the pillows (in Chuck's last short working for Clampett!). this entire exchange is adorable. i am so excited for anything that even entertains the idea of modeling itself after this. i'm so excited.

If somehow we had the chance to view everyhing you've ever written about your characters, all of things you have planned for a single character. Who are the top three people we should pick? Hopefully that makes sense

like which characters' arcs would've gotten crazy?

that would have to be casper and coco, look at this behemoth doc i have of vague ideas & dialogue for them (mostly for coco) 😭

the problem is that i was planning to write casper out of frozen pines when he went off to college, but i was sick of only writing teenagers & their parents, so i kept him around for a fresh perspective. i didn't expect myself to project so much onto him and i didn't plan on making coco into such a complex character that i would fall sooo in love with. so it all kind of ballooned into this massive plot that, even back when i had free time, i was never going to have time to write :( it sucks because i would LOVE to be able to tell their story, but i think it would've worked better as an entirely separate story to frozen pines.

third i suppose would be finn... i actually wrote this whole fake podcast transcript based around his murder, i've written countless oneshots that aren't finished enough for me to post them, and every single AU version of him lives in my mind like they're all their own characters. i love him so so bad... writing from his point of view feels so natural to me

Hmm, you know once I saw someone say Lucifer is a king and so of course he's gonna be a bottom in bed because people of power always in control and usually want not to be in control somewhere so in bedroom with their partner is a perfect place.

Lucifer from HH. Always so much in control of his life and 'monarch duties' that he wouldn't want to be the one who top in bed. What a funny joke, seriously, I laughed.

"Lucifer would be a bottom because he's a king and people in power are always in control, so he obviously wouldn't want control in the bedroom."

Meanwhile:

"Alastor would never bottom because he's an Overlord and people in power are always in control, so obviously he'll want to have control in the bedroom."

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

Been following you since 2019, I've seen things, but it's INSANE how some things will never change. This reminds me of the time where you wanted to renovate Hallownest, in like, 2021. Keep doing what you do your blog is amazing and still love your art 👍

many things come and go but my single-minded obsession to waltz into any fantasy world, obtain fictional absolute power and place or reform a system of government, and then leave with no trace behind except a well-functioning machine of a State, like a fantasy Sulla, is forever

[literaryvein-reblogs]

hello; i just wanted to say i respect you immensely for the resources you publish on a daily basis. i'm sure you have your own motivations for doing so, but if it ever becomes hard for you to manage, please take some time to care for yourself and your health. you are far more important than i feel you give yourself credit for.

You are so sweet, dear Anon. No worries, though! About +90% of my posts on this blog are now queued. It seems like I'm always on here, but I'm not. Usually you can tell I'm here when I answer replies on posts, or messages like this. But sometimes these are queued too. Or is it.

The flipside to fans overstepping is show creators and actors who enmesh themselves in fandom. I get loving your work and wanting to share that with fans but that’s what the show and interview and maybe fan q&a’s are for? Like you said maybe some of it is unfair embarrassment because of past fandom’s that haven’t been particularly kind to sapphic shippers, but there’s also a boundary crossing with actors that get super involved with fans. Things get weird and cliquey real quick. Not only in that annoying way where other fans start to take their word as law but in a how much attention do you as a celeb need way lol. Maybe that’s mean lmao. But yeah it’s all so silly and unserious Im just always stunned that fandom is becoming so normalized.

LOL eesh yep i don't think i've ever really experienced it first hand on that scale before, but i can imagine exactly how annoying that would be. and stifling, actually. fandom space is kind of sacred... i'd hate to have somebody who's that close to the source material be looking over my shoulder constantly, critiquing my silly little brain worms.

i think it's very cool how accessible and normalised fandom is becoming, having experienced a time when it really just was not (and god, i imagine it's even wilder for the OG fandom elders), but it really does make it all the more important to find your own little tiny circle of similarly-minded weirdos who are on your level, and to become extremely liberal with the block button.

[semifinaldraw]

I hope this isn't weird but are we allowed to draw fanarts/make fics of your work? if no that's fine! and also do you take commisions 🤔

you are very welcome to do whatever with my art, including draw more art based on it or write fics! i'd be honoured if my art inspires you that way <3

i don't take commissions but i do take requests for free! i'm just pretty slow with them because real life gets busy often :) but i try my best

Regarding cerebrocrustacean’s teeth: DJW stated that they’re actually filter feeders, so I think it might actually be stylized baleen?

Hehe, cerebrocrustaceans don't need a toothbrush since their teeth are already brushes :P

Hmm filter feeding means that you gotta intake a lot of water with your food, and no matter what the water is filled with (different planets, different rocks, different elements eroding into the water of rivers and oceans), swallowing that water is not going to treat the body well. Baleen whales open mouth a lot of food and water and their 'teeth' are used to keep food in while they spit out the salt, using their tongue to do so, so if cerebrocrustaceans have a baleen then they might have a similar process.

Thinking thinking (mentions of vomiting below)

In comparison to a whale cerebrocrustaceans are incredibly small, the fact that their filter feeding is centred around keeping food in rather than letting it pass over internal gills (the method I like making orishan fed) makes it seem like their food is a little too big for gill based eating, but with the size of their brain aka one of the most nutrition and energy taxing organ in the entire body (so much so our extinct cousins the neanderthals had BIGGER brains they couldn't maintain) they probably need to have bigger if not many MANY small prey to eat in relatively large quantities. Well if cerebrocrustaceans have to filter feed like a whale, do they also have a tongue or tongue-like replacement? Well considering that Brainstorm was capable of vomitting in War of the World part 2, with the addition of a retractable baleen, cerebrocrustaceans have the physiological capacity to adjust pressure levels (increase pressure in the stomach, lower pressure in the thorax which I'm just using terms in reference to humans) as well as have the abdominal muscles to move stomach contents out.

Technically emptying the contents of your stomach is not indicative of anything but I imagine since they're kinda all torso (all thorax) that they might have a water stomach, perhaps even combining it with some form of gizzard since cerebrocrustaceans don't have teeth to chew with. They open-mouth a whole bunch of zooplanktain and maybe larger prey (closing their mouth if something bigger comes obviously), water enters the gizzard where a vomit-like function occurs, expelling all the water while the baleen catches the mouthful of food. Also! This is when underwater, especially in zooplankton swarms, does this process occur. Cerebrocrustaceans have evolved to filter feed and have a gizzard that facilitates the act to chewing thus doesn't necessitate the evolution of teeth should they (and have) live on dry land.

Of course Encephalonus IV would have a different culture to Earth, so making the transition from a reliance on the water to being able to live between environs of land and sea, they retained the habits of filter feeding habits (swallowing food and water and spitting out the water) until fully acclimating to a dry(er) setting. Technically one could say they were the type to 'drool' or 'spit' randomly all over the floor until collectively agreeing it's more of a hassle on land than in water to filter feed. Instead with the move to land cerebrocrustaceans have developed a separate cuisine culture between dry and wet settings, eating larger (though still swallowable/gizzard-chewable) foods, perhaps beginning to create and invent foods rather than rely solely on live prey. Kind of like how you can't have metal without fire, you tend not to be about to have a cuisine culture without fire too, but unlike human evolution where obviously food came before smelting, cerebrocrustaceans developed both cuisine and technology at around the same starting point; though technically it's technology they're mainly interested in as there are more niches technology can fill in invention over cuisine, those roots still exist in a passion for well crafted delicacies packed with more nutrients per square inch to make smaller meals worth the same as a feeding frenzy.

Wait a damn minute, hetalia fan that follows you for DC content here, YOU'RE the one from the Hetalia is Real post????

[utilitycaster]

this is just a curiosity question bc i was going through your caleb tag the other day and saw that you said that vax and caleb are each other's types, and i was wondering if you'd be willing to elaborate on that?

Vax canonically was in love with a powerful redheaded spellcaster. Caleb canonically had feelings for a prankster, and seems to be attracted to a fairly wide array of physical types. Both are bisexual. It means that they would fuck each other.

If it helps I believe the original context was a jokey question of "if the Mighty Nein and Vox Machina characters played by the same actor fought each other who would win" and this was my answer.

I go to a lot of concerts and the safest I’ve ever felt was Taylor’s Eras show

I'm a music freak. I learned to appreciate oprah at 9 years old, i learned classical concerts antique at 10. I go to so many shows, most of them alone, and I can count on one hand the ones I went to and felt completely safe outside of israel and all of them would be taylor shows

[baconcolacan]

do you know homestuck? by any chance.(curiousd)

I know of it yes, but am not a homestuck myself. It just so happens that a person, whom I love dearly, is one.

I spent years with this person, and still do, so I gotta say from what I've heard, it's a wild and untamed media. Dunno if I'll ever read it but, good for yall (? Maybe idk my dearly loved person talks like they're cursed fdjgkfdg)
