Idk I think if you're depicting any animal semi-seriously in media the least you can do for it is to try searching for some references in a natural setting. Especially in a medium like animation, referencing behavior is just as important as physiology. Sometimes the clearest photos of a species are in a very distressing context for the animal. Some people only know certain animals for how they look/behave under extreme stress. This is why I love camera trap footage so much as reference.

What I'm saying is if you're tasked with designing and animating an otter or a fox and your only videos referencing them in motion where captive pet videos I'm gonna be disappointed

You can tell when someone's put thought and effort into their depiction of a species, no amount of rigging or polygons can create believable animal behaviour*. Like to me the aristocats is a really cute movie because despite being anthropomorphized the kittens still behave like cute kittens!!

It's hard to find modern animation with great animal acting similar to Kahl's. It's either fully anthro movement or behaves like a dog, and I do think this oversaturation has some negative effects on our relationship with animals. Our society has become so based in narratives and stories and so many of our stories have misleading or fabricated beliefs about animals and how they behave

Destiny's Child when they're NFL team owners negotiating a sponsor deal: can you pay my Bills

[sergeifyodorov]

your introduction post reminded me of the fact that my mother this week just casually dropped the lore that my dads office pooled money together for kings season tickets so all of them could go watch wayne gretzky’s last season and i just have to live with that now

omg my mom and her dad had canucks season tickets through a chunk of the late 70s/early 80s and her mom would make them go to Every Game... she's basically seen everyone -_- jealous. very jealous

Sometime after Luffy left the Marines.

Akainu, looking to his side: tell- oh right.

Kizaru in the background: will you just admit to missing him!

Also, can you imagine if Akainu found out that Luffy never worked witht he revolutionary army, he kinda just gave his son every reason to betray the Marines on a false pretense.

Akainu: *slams his hands on the table* What did you send your son to do here?!?!

Dragon, hiding that his handcuffs are already undone: So he was a boy?

Akainu:... What.

Dragon, only staying because he's curious: his mother cut contact before he was born

Akainu: So... How did he escape impel down? Didn't you hire the remaining Whitebeards?

Dragon: Wait so my son attacked the marines?

Akainu, sneering: Worse, he joined them. If he wasn't undercover for you for nine years, who does he work for?

Dragon: the marines it sounds like - that's a shame, we already have one of those in the family.

Akainu: He can't have! His blood is cursed, he is evil

Dragon: I believe he didn't have much a say in his genetics.

Akainu: What?

Dragon: No I'm absolutely sure my son was not there with notes the day of his conception

Akainu: Well obviously-- what??

Dragon: So you're the one who raised my son for nine years? Nice to meet you.

Akainu: I did not--

Dragon, slapping his knees like he's not supposed to be cuffed rn: Welp, I'll be off.

Akainu: WAIT--

Dragon: *disappears in a gust of wind*

look at me. listen to me. this is directed at americans for the record. the reason you think North American animals are boring is because you live here. there are so many cool and beautiful animals here. we have beavers. we have wolves. we have moose. we have sea lions. we have armadillos. we have mountain lions. we have alligators. we have foxes. we have bighorn sheep. we have manatees. we have bears. we have ocelots. we have BISON. and that’s not even touching on the birds! or the turtles! or the snakes! we have amazing beautiful and diverse wildlife right here and it deserves to be appreciated and protected
