For straight allies they really were such good sports about this stuff.

Other straight allies that play queer or queer-coded characters would be much more hesitant to talk about the queer representation. But they always acknowledged the parts of the show that resonated for the LGBTQ community and they talked about it openly and lovingly.

I'll always have such gratitude to Lucy and Renee because I know that this is something that could have ruined their careers. But they didn't ever ignore. They didn't even recoil. They really embraced us as fans and they listened to what it was that made these characters so important for us. They fully acknowledged the interpretation that these characters were queer and they even understood as to why.

They wouldn't have paid any attention to a queer narrative otherwise.

I would have loved to have seen those other takes where they had Gabrielle go back to Potidaea and have Xena chase after her instead because that poker face she had on never fooled me. She was just as affected and influenced by their "first meeting" as Gabrielle was. 🥰

Star Trek V with audio commentary from Shatner:

Yeah, I wonder what’s in that scene that’d make two professional actors giggle so uncontrollably...

Yes, it is.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE WAS A VERSION OF ONE OF THE SCENES IN THE BEGINNING OF FIGHT CLUB WHERE THE NARRATOR IS MASTURBATING WHILE THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE HATES MARLA

I just discovered this video of Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, and Isaac Hempstead Wright singing along to the opening to Game of Thrones. This single-handedly brought me more enjoyment than the entire series ever did.

It's just so....fun!

Another golden star from the audio commentary, this time in the near-life experience scene:

'i love these guys [space monkeys in the back seat] looking at each other like, this guy is seriously crazy.

..

And he does a GREAT Brad Pitt imitation!' - Edward Norton

ALSO ALSO ALSO OH MY FUCKING GOD??? THE FUCKING- DETAILS THEYRE POINTING OUT THAT I DIDNT NOTICE BEFORE. LIKE NARRATOR CARRYING THE GREEN FILE THAT HOLDS ALL THE PROJECT MAYHEM SHIT IN WHEN HE'S GETTING OFF THE BUS, CAUSE HIS BODY WAS THERE EVEN THO HE WASN'T!!!

AND- AND AFTER THE NEAR-LIFE EXPERIENCE WHEN TYLER DRAGS NARRATOR OUT THE CAR AND well- well I'm English. So y'know, I didn't notice it cause American's fucking cars are backwards. But, he drags him out the DRIVER'S side! NOT THE PASSENGERS! Oh it's so fucking cool oh my goddddd

🌴🐘 According to the audio commentary for Disney’s “Tarzan”, the creative team admitted they considered Tantor being an adult elephant when he first meets Tarzan. I had done this drawing and another today. This is my take on Young Tarzan with Tantor. 🐘

Party Animal Commentary

'AFIN' with commentary and without cutting off Xena's head. They did some editing work for the Director's Cut. Some of the scenes that shocked fans the most were taken out and instead they replaced them with scenes that never made the finale cut. I only ever watch this version of the finale. I never ever watch the actual episodes. The two parts melded together play like a movie. It's a better experience.

If you get your hands on the Director's Cut of 'AFIN' - it's worth it. Especially because they include an entire scene that shows you that Xena had no idea she couldn't be revived without dire consequences - making it so she really had no choice but to stay dead except the choice between avenging those souls or to forcing non-absolution on them. So really the choice was either allowing them to be forgiven or forgive herself. They cut this entire scene out in the episodic version but it's a very important scene to show you that she never actually intentionally made Gabrielle go on a wild goose chase for her ashes. She was sure she could be brought back to life until she learns the truth that Akemi was holding back from her all along. She couldn't. They go on in the episodic version as if she already knew she couldn't. But no, by the point she learns the information, she's already dead and the stipulation is that the only way she could be brought back to life was if she condemned 40,000 other souls to eternal damnation. So it explains what's going on a bit more than you get in the episodic version. It shows you it was really about agency. Xena chose this end and Akemi was a manipulating, lying sack of shit that tastes karma.

As the self-sacrificial hero Xena now is - she'd never choose selfishly no matter how much it may hurt her and Gabrielle to separate. But then if you follow watching the Director's Cut of 'AFIN' with reading my character study thesis - you'll learn that they never could separate because one soul in two bodies are within each other for all eternity and it's only the physical body that leaves. The vessel of the soul. If that one soul belongs to two people, they'd just become one body from then on until that body also eventually left the mortal coil too.

So my thesis combined with Rob's "fixes" for 'AFIN' is a much more palatable watching experience. It leaves you on a better note and it's what I'd recommend anybody that decides to go for watching 'AFIN'. to do. In other words: don't watch the episodes. Just watch this and then salve your trepidation by reading my unique perspective on it.

I know it's painful and it really does feel like a betrayal. But having more information or just a different way of interpreting information along with some clever editing does help a lot. I promise you that because even if Xena had to stay dead, she didn't leave Gabrielle and that's what she promised her. That even in death - she'd never leave.

Hey everyone, I've created a video that shows how I make a shifting 3D effect animation from my 2D artworks using Gimp!

✦ Written guide below the break ✦

I'm using Gimp 2.10 on Pop!_OS

Open your image in Gimp.

Create a new layer over the art, color to black, and lower the opacity.

Starting with a dark to medium gray color fill in each element, working from back to front, visualizing the figures in a 3D space. Black is the background, white is closest to the front.

When your gradient map is complete, move the layer underneath the artwork and go to Filters➺ Map➺ Displace.

In Aux Input double click on the gradient map.

I personally prefer to work in Horizonal Displacement only, so I have to click the little chain link icon to the right to “break” the chain and allow only one axis to be displaced.

It doesn’t take a big shift to make an interesting effect, in this video I only move the artwork 2 degrees in each direction.

Here I displace two images total to create a perfectly looping four frame animation. Frame 1 shifts slightly to the left. Frame 2 is the original unedited painting. Frame 3 is shifting slightly to the right. The final frame is just a duplicate of frame 2, to create a perfect loop that goes: 1 2 3 2 … 1 2 3 2 … etc.

Make your animation! You can open all frames in Gimp to export as a GIF. Note that with your animation layers in Gimp, frame 1 is the bottom-most layer, going up from there.

For this video I simply opened the image files with my video editor Kdenlive, shortened each frame to 00:00;05 seconds, and made the loop that way.

Thanks for watching, let me know if you try this with your own work!

Is Anyone Interested in Audio Commentary?

[laurenfoxmakesthings]

I'm watching the commentary of Jason and the Argonauts with Peter Jackson in it. Turns out the 1960s British Avengers is one of his favourite shows. I feel vindicated.
