01/07/24, 3:43 PM EST: At this time of day, I saw "the dress" as a white and gold dress that appeared to be in the "shade," (which to me gave the "white" part of the dress a "light bluish" tinge).
UPDATE 01/07/24, 4:50 PM EST: I had originally reblogged this post in the late afternoon. It is interesting that when I revisited this post later to add to it, it was in the early evening, so my blinds were closed and no more sunlight was coming in my window behind me to shine on my computer screen. Consequently, at first glance, the dress looked darker, with it almost being a very light blue (especially the photo on the Wikipedia link above), and a dark gold or mustard color. 🤔
For more information on what colors of "the dress" actually are and why some people see the dress as "blue and black" and others as "white and gold," (and a few as "blue and brown" or "other), see below the cut.
Yes, the actual dress is blue and black, which I can clearly see in the photos below.
Both photos above are from BuzzFeed. Above left is a photo of the dress worn to a wedding by the mother of the bride (who started the whole thing when she took the original photo and showed it to the bride and groom before the wedding). Above right is a photo of the dress from the company it came from: Roman Originals.
Roman Originals (now just Roman) also has an image on its #THE DRESS That Broke the Internet website that fades from the blue & black to the white & gold dress, represented below by this (edited) gif:
Fun facts from the Roman's #THE DRESS website:
"The dress" is a viral meme that launched to stardom on 26th February 2015, when the world disagreed over whether the item of clothing below was black and blue or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception which have been the subject of ongoing scientific investigation in neuroscience and vision science, with a number of papers published in peer-reviewed science journals. In popular discourse, the disagreement over the colours was sometimes referred to as "dressgate". But to us it will always be our Dress that broke the internet. After 7.6 Million tweets it's time to seperate the fact from fiction
* 3,622,960 visitors to our website in 48 hours * 2,214,343 uses of #thedress * covered on over 150 networks including BBC Worldwide, Sky, CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, Globo TV, NTN24, Nippon TV and more... * 70% of people asked actually saw white and gold instead of blue and black * 73 million views of #thedress across all social media channels * 34 minutes was the amount of time it took for our website to sell out of #thedress We even made a #WhiteandGold version that was auctioned off for Charity
It appears that some of the illusion might have been caused by "the dress" having been photographed with yellow-tinged lighting. According to Wikipedia:
Daniel Hardiman-McCartney of the College of Optometrists stated that the picture was ambiguous, suggesting that the illusion was caused by a strong yellow light shining onto the dress, and human perception of the colours of the dress and light source by comparing them with other colours and objects in the picture.[40] [...] The first large-scale scientific study on the dress was published in Current Biology three months after the image went viral. The study, which involved 1,400 respondents, found that 57 per cent saw the dress as blue and black, 30 per cent saw it as white and gold, 11 per cent saw it as blue and brown, and two per cent reported it as "other".[44] Women and older people disproportionately saw the dress as white and gold. The researchers further found that, if the dress was shown in artificial yellow-coloured lighting, almost all respondents saw the dress as black and blue, while they saw it as white and gold if the simulated lighting had a blue bias.[33][44][45][46] Another study in the Journal of Vision, by Pascal Wallisch, found that people who were early risers were more likely to think the dress was lit by natural light, perceiving it as white and gold, and that "night owls" saw the dress as blue and black.[47][48] A study carried out by Schlaffke et al. reported that individuals who saw the dress as white and gold showed increased activity in the frontal and parietal regions of the brain. These areas are thought to be critical in higher cognition activities such as top-down modulation in visual perception.[49][50] [emphasis added]
The yellow-tinged light hypothesis might account for why the dress seemed to change colors for me slightly from the time I first saw it with sunlight hitting my computer screen through the window behind me, to when I revisited it in the evening, when my blinds were closed.
I'm also an older woman, so I fit in the demographics of those most likely to see the dress as white and gold. However, I'm not a particularly "early riser" (although I do have to get up early for work🤷🏻♀️).
Optical illusions are always fascinating.
[edited]
In February 2015, the "The Dress" debate had everyone weighing in on what color it was.

I think Ralsei would get overly invested in his friend’s relationships. Especially after his ended, I think he’d put a lot of emotional investment into Susie and Noelle. His story might not have gotten a happily ever after, so theirs must.
I don’t know about you, but when I was in high school, there were the couples who had been together for ages, and everyone kind of viewed them through this storybook narrative lens. Like, “Oh they’ve been together the whole time we’ve been in school, they’ll be together forever!” Then that couple in my year broke up and everyone else was really upset about it, like something was wrong with the universe that these two teenagers hadn’t spent their whole lives together.

10 things I do to feel close to my romantic F/O!
Hopefully, these will make you feel close to yours too♡
1. Make a Piccrew or Neka of the two of you! Dress each other up, try out different poses and backgrounds… and when you’re done, you’ll have a photo album of all the photos you took together! (Let me know if you would like a list of couples’ piccrews/Neka’s to make you and your F/O with)
2. Listen to your F/O’s voice double sing! I can’t vouch for forms of western media, but almost all Japanese seiyuus have sung something before, if you’re only willing to dig for it! Not only do a lot of IP’s include character songs, I’ve also even found cover CD’s of “popular voice actor compilations.” You can also consult my guide on how to find drama CD’s of your favorite voice actor here. I am always MORE THAN happy to help anime/Japanese game self-shippers find voice actor content; you need only ask💜
3. Snuggle their clothes! If you don’t have a shirt/jacket that belongs your F/O yet, I highly recommend getting one. If you take a trip to your local thrift store, I’m sure you’ll find something that matches their style that they left for you to find! Once you have it, I then recommend spraying it with their perfume or cologne– there are websites that let you design your own unique scents, but this is my favorite place to buy. [Bonus step: warm it up in the dryer or with a heating pad!]
4. Bring a little piece of them everywhere! I like to bring my plushie and acrylic stands out with me to photograph, but it can be anything they’d give you– a necklace, a trinket, a ring, a handkerchief– anything in your pocket that reminds you that they’re always there with you.
5. Make a “what’s in their bag” edit, and include pics all of the things they’d carry with them!
6. It’s classic, but make a playlist of songs that describe you, or the two of you together. You might even discover some new music in the process! (You can also ask some trusted friends and fandommates to make one for you!)
7. Make a list, collage, or board of their favorites things, and I mean everything! Favorite food, drink, color, season, flower, time of day, quote, gemstone, holiday, animal, movie, place…. as thorough as you’d like! Even if it’s not mentioned in canon, you know them best, right?
8. Speaking of Pinterest boards, everyone says to make them, but here are some ideas on specifically WHAT to make collages of.
•Clothes you think they’d wear (or want to see them in…)
•Decorations/design for their house (or both of yours!)
•Activities you’d want to do with them
•Places you’d like to visit together
•Moody pics that fit their style/aesthetic
•Gifts you would give them, or they would give you
•Things that would make them smile or laugh
•Quotes, or something sappy/romantic/intimate!
9. Fill out a ship template or make your own! (Like this, for example)
10. The Sims. Seriously. The base game has been free for a long time, and mods make anything you could dream of possible. I have a wonderful house, marriage, and lots of cute little kids with my F/O and it’s my favorite place to be!
Happy Selfshipping!♡

For those that don't get why he's scared- lemme explain as someone who is working on my branding as a vtuber in the making. Sit down *hands you popcorn*
Ben Shapiro is so bad at being a CEO that I had to stop and look up what his company is because I genuinely did not know until now.
I have heard a lot of bs (I could do without) in regards to Ben Shapiro, but I have NEVER heard he's a CEO nor do I know what his company does.
And what doesn't help is "I Hear Everything" is the WORST name for a company and their website does a shit job explaining what they do. I'll link it so you all can see what I mean.
Putting aside the website, if I wasn't posting this- would most people know that "I Hear Everything" is a podcast and audio media distributor run by Ben Shapiro? No.
What is the point in having a CEO like him, constantly running around & ruining things like a headless chicken, if NOBODY CAN NAME YOUR COMPANY?
There's 2 major reasons to have CEOs but lemme clarify 1 thing first
I hate Elon Musk but everybody knows he the guy who bought Tesla & Twitter. Walt Disney is literally ashes but 100 years later people are pissed his company his shitting on his legacy. Donald Trump owns multiple businesses and has gone bankruot 6 times as a CEO long before he ran for president the first time around.
Whether we all like it or not, a rich (usually white male cis/presenting) eccentric weirdo running your company can be good or questionable but still effective marketing- doubly if you lack a mascot or want to run multiple companies. At some point macot CEOs usually hire people to help run it because they are too locked into whatever their hyperfixation and/or crimes are. They become a face, name, or symbol for marketing rather than a genuine CEO.
But overall mascot CEOs are not good CEOs- they can and will be replaced because they are not running their company as the priority. Disney's marketing of how they present their CEOs to the public is a fantastic example- they keep rehiring guys who wanna be the next Walt but when they're not, the real board of elites who run things use them as a scapegoat when in reality they are all complicit in their financial and business failures. It's a terrible business strategy long term and it's why they are struggling right now.
So what makes a good CEO? 2 major things.
1. Being financially and morally responsible for how your company is run
2. Maintaining good brand recognition and public relations
Most of you may not know his name but David Menashi is why AriZona Green Tea is everywhere. Bro locked in to focus on running his business and only earning what he needs btw- but is it a perfect business? No. Look it up- it's around 50% of employees dislike working there for various reasons from pay, racial discrimination, not enough breaks, and managers sucking. But when people quit their reasoning is never "I hate the CEO because he's an eccentric weirdo who only focuses on what he wants to do/hoards all earnings on themself/ has a whole boys club blah blah blah" you get with mascot CEOs.
Has there ever been a mascot CEO who could do the other 2 things?
Short answer- No.
Long answer: Because I include moral responsibility- most CEOs are going to some kind of hell for greed related decisions. Mr. Menashi is just barely skirting by as a normal CEO only if you ignore the 3 times he donated to Republicans. It's borderline impossible. But guys like Ford, Rockerfeller, and even Jobs understood that being a macot and at least doing point 2 was the bare minimum.
But if you can't do number 2 & be a mascot CEO- you shouldn't be a CEO at all.
Ben Shapiro does nothing for brand recognition and public relations for "I Hear Everything" co. I thought (and looking at the replies of his tweets & all the social commentary since he posted his thoughts) he was a mascot for only his podcast and nothing else.
And that is why he's scared- bro has made a living off creating enemies for himself via his podcast and could straight up die tomorrow with 0 impact on his company because he can't even mascot correctly. Like in the sea of CEOs he's the least deserving of the title from a business standpoint.
This is a good time to remind you that Ben Shapiro is a CEO himself
That explains the horror he has been expressing over the UHC shooting incident and the reaction to it by the working class
#mun post#sorry for the rant but i am tired of folks not knowing what ceos are for and#how most ceos that exist right now are AWFUL at their jobs holy fuck#doing everything on my own means I wear a lot of hats so b r o so many ceos should not have the title at all#fuck ceos#ben shapiro#the claims adjuster#UHC shooting

A "RETURN of the Number of PERSONS FLOGGED in the BRITISH NAVY, in each of the Years 1845 and 1846; specifying the Name of the Ship, the Offence, the Sentence and the Number of Lashes Infficted." Parlamentary Paper, Number 661 of Session 1847
So after reading the Post about Jopsons Flogging by @handfuloftime I went down a research rabbit hole because I wanted to see if their exist sufficient & specific enough Data to accuratly compare his punishment and put it in the historical context.
I found this Website, which features the two tables from the Parlamentary Papers and their Source.
(Note: The tables on the website are incomplete and inaccurate in certain places. I compared it from top to bottom to the original source and corrected/added the informations in my table.)
I used that as a basis for my own table, where I also added Averages and Sliders so people can search the Informations!
(Apparently Sliders don't work on Mobil, and I don't know enough about Google Sheets how to fix it :/
If anyone knows or if you find a some kind mistake please let me know.)
This week I visited the University Libary, which has access to the Parlamentary Papers Online, to see if such tables also exist for earlier years but sadly 1845 was the first year where they went into such Specifics.
(I hope to add some of the Years after 1846 to the table, when I can.)
Earlier years only had these Informations per Year:
Total Number of Punishments
Total Number of Lashes
Highest Number of Lashes Inflicted at One Time
Lowest Number of Lashes Inflicted at One Time
This Information for 1839 - 1846 under the Cut.
Also under the Read More are some Graphs, Medians & Averages about Flogging for Drunkenness Alone, seperated by Seamen, Marines, Boys and Everyone!
Hope that someone find this useful/interesting !

Yes with these names, Pedrosa, Marquez and Stoner amazed me. And Rossi, obviously. Pedrosa was very strong in 125 and 250, because with his stature he had an incredible technique. Above all he took advantage of his weight a lot - as they say, in the pick up of the bike, which was very difficult and he was the first to do it like that. After all we copied him with the technique. Marquez is a beast here (points at head), and the only rider that... I wouldn't tell you that he likes to fall, because nobody likes to fall, but he wasn't afraid of falling. And he was like a pit bull - he always wanted to win, even if he wasn't comfortable on a circuit, even if the bike wasn't going well... He had an unconventional ambition, he always wanted to beat you. He believed in the falls, but he wasn't afraid of falling. So in that sense he is unique. Stoner was a natural talent, unconventional. For example, when the track was wet, with patches of water - he took it on, came out of the box, delivered the track record, took two or three seconds off everyone. So an improvisation and an ability to see the limit of the track immediately, incredible. What a natural talent. Either you have it or you don't. Valentino? Very complete. A person... as a person, naturally very intelligent, very charismatic. A great braker, a rider who could improvise a lot with the bike. When he was racing, [even when tired, with an elevated pulse], he was very lucid. Very complete. He didn't have a super quality… How would I say? (Interviewer: Any [outstanding] quality.) Yes, but it was all very complete.

Since I like polls, here's another Morrowind one based on varying interpretations I've seen:
Are the "Incarnates" we see in the Cavern of the Incarnate failed incarnates (as Peakstar calls herself), in the sense that they were true incarnations of Nerevar and/or the Nerevarine that failed, or are they false incarnates, in the sense that they weren't incarnations of Nerevar/the Nerevarine but tried to be or believed themselves to be.
#morrowind#tesblr#tes#nerevarine#I could think of a handful of other ideas but thats just my brain not sentiments ive actually seen in the fandom#morrowind itself implies failed incarnates but also leaves it open ended whether incarnation is even a thing thats happening#but idk i just like seeing other people interpretations and i love love love polls#any website that lets me do polls gets a thumbs up in my book#mine#i have now playyed through the mw dlc in eso but i know conoon condala is in it and it might imply something else idk#ive been trying to avoid spoilers tbh

okay i talk a big game about never fearing cringe and always being 100% yourself and never surrendering your true artistic desires to something as immaterial as "embarrassment" EVER but now it's time for me to walk the walk bc i am drawing something that i think is so fun but it's also maybe super cringe and i am afraid of getting made fun of. I DON'T CARE THO i have to follow my own advice or i'm a hypocrite (posting this to embolden and also entrap myself. now i've said something about it and i can't backtrack)
#i've been working on it on a feverish whim for like 2 days and i think MAYBE i might finish it tonight but maybe not. we'll see#if i DO chicken out after i have spent this much time on this website soapboxing about 'u have to do YOUR thing + not care what ppl think'#u are all allowed to make fun of me forever. that would be so lame

lol hey so my printer just didn't get back to me at all for two weeks and suddenly Volume 3 Books Are Happening sometime next week (the proofs! just the proofs, which i had to make a full order of 20 to get, so hopefully they didn't fuck it up), I was going to make more announcements about the preorders during the period but i thought it would be smart to wait for my printer to give me the delivery date i asked for first :) whatever. if you want a book or any of the keychains i have coming in go check out the shop listings here and here. there's fun preorder stuff i was super psyched for that is still there if you want it but i'm so fuckin frustrated im not writing up any cute copy today lmao. thank yall very much for your patience as usual
#yesterday i had to apply to the biggest local convention#which i am doing badge art for and have been unofficially assured i was attending for months#and they fucked up their website so badly it literally beamed every vendor's personal information to everyone else applying#150 people were editing the same cart live it was a fucking nightmare#i had to pay them 300 dollars for the privilege of hoping their show helps me make rent that month#i have to pay this printer even more than that so i can get no communication about a whole box of books that might be unsellable#i want. anybody to fucking do their job#why do i worry so much about trying to run a tight ship if the only places i can take it are Like This lmfao

webtoon-wise:
Her Tale of Shim Chong (~90 chapters), retelling of korean folklore, solid art/pacing/writing from what I remember (though it's been a while), also good for almost-rancid (but not quite) vibes
I Love Amy (~60 chapters), high school setting, artist's goal was to have a yandere character get a happy ending, good reference for high energy/dysfunctional characters and relationship building while a main character is switching targets (as opposed to master of the fox bead which imo spent a little too much time on the red herring love interest guy)
Sherbet Above the Sea of Fog (~60+ chapters), good reference point for fantasy, one-sided relationships, and very gag-oriented super comedic writing that still leaves room for pathos and interesting developments (as opposed to hero and former general, which imo is too gag-oriented for emotional investment)
Partition (~60 chapters), office romance, hits a very BL-type vibe because both characters are high energy and the main character kinda sucks a little as a person (LOL), main story extends beyond establishing relationship
indie project-wise:
After Hours (20 pgs), office/supernatural romance, good reference for short-form genre-juggling and tension building, I LOVE THIS COMIC!!!!
Gimm*r Vol 1 (~100 pgs), anthology, a lot of good examples of short-form comics
Influenca (~80 pgs), supernatural slice of life, good reference point for more experimental/non-linear narrative stuff
Of Thunder and Lightning (~60 pgs), good point of reference for violence and vibes that don't hit explicit romance but are very loaded
Misc:
Fear and Trembling is a 2003 french-japanese film where part of it is the main character having a weird toxic unfulfilled relationship with her supervisor, watch it to get a reference point for weird toxic unfulfilled relationships
yuricon is a site run by erica friedman, who is the writer of 'by your side: the first 100 years of yuri anime and manga'--good english resource for the genre, I've been meaning to actually sit down and read it. the website has essays/podcasts/yuri news (just checked okazu and learned that galette is having a kickstarter...!), so it's a good academic/news reference. There's a lot of narratives/tropes that you kind of pick up when you learn about the genre, like class s narratives, which can contextualize older yuri and what some current yuri might be referencing/subverting.
translation of a jp blog post about yuri taxonomy
yuri made me human interview part 1 & part 2
Where Is My Place in the World?: Early Shojo Manga Portrayals of Lesbianism by Fujimoto Yukari, translated by Lucy Fraser (got the link to the paper from this tumblr post)
The Sexual and Textual Politics of Japanese Lesbian Comics: Reading Romantic and Erotic Yuri Narratives (using the archive.org link because the website is down)
Bit of an odd one here, but do you have any yuri/GL recommendations for people interested in learning how to learn and write the genre well? Stuff that fires on all cylinders and hits every target, even if it doesn't exactly break the mold (tbh I just want to write girls... no, I shan't say. But I want to do it WELL, y'know?)
YES, manga-wise:
Still Sick (3 volumes) is good for grounded but still silly office romance, the main character tables at cons selling yuri doujin and her coworker finds out her secret, the women are just some guys
Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko (3 volumes) is good for high energy high stupidity office romance (that still hits pathos, does explore internalized homophobia), ayaka is down bad for hiroko and hiroko is very ‘WOAH STRAIGHT WOMEN ARE SO SCARY… STAY BACK, TEMPTRESS’, the women are just some guys
5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls In Love (2 chapters + short extra) is good for short-form action-oriented romance with a witch hunter and a witch, the artist mainly writes BL, the women are just some guys
Hana to Hoshi (2 volumes) is good high energy high stupidity high school romance between table tennis ex-rivals, the gals are just some guy
my preferences skew towards romcom rather than drama/slice of life so if you’re looking for that I have some titles but not a lot to say (and I haven’t read all of these in-depth):
Run Away With Me, Girl where a woman reunited with her high school ex who is in a currently abusive relationship and they run away together. Good for distinct art style, heavier storyline that still wraps up in 3 volumes
Even Though We’re Adults, a woman hooks up with someone who turns out to be married; shimura is pretty prolific (I mean she wrote aoi hana), as far as I remember competent character writing and scope; good for long-form reference for heavier storylines (10 volumes)
How Do We Relationship, more coming of age than yuri imo but good for long-form messy college relationships
She Likes to Cook, She Likes to Eat, very slice of life, grounded to realistic emotions and experiences, definitely comes from a place of Wanting To Represent The Queer Experience, can be a reference for low-key romance
The Two of Them are Pretty Much Like This, age gap slice of life established relationship, good for slow atmosphere and conflicts beyond will-they-won’t-they
I have a couple webtoons to add to the list but this is eating up my snow frolicking time so I’ll add that in like 4-5 hours if I remember. also I have an ff recs tag
#ff recs#recs#I need to reread some of these article#I actually went through like 70 pages of my articles tag to try to find the 'where is my place in the world' article#because I remembered the crimson rose/candy girl concept but forgot what article I got it from

i’m pretty sure this was done on the tlt subreddit once before but i haven’t seen it here and i’m curious to know tumblr’s opinions on the topic! personally i like the second two much more than the first—gtn didn’t really grab me that much and i wouldn’t have even called myself part of the fandom until i decided i might as well give htn a go and immediately got sucked in—but i’m guessing that most people’s experience is different, since the first book seems like the most popular based on the impressions i’ve gotten. also feel free to put in tags where you’d rank the short stories (as yet unsent and doctor sex) relative to the books! i would have stuck those in the poll too but there are. 120 different ways to order 5 unique objects
#personally it’s always going to be ayu >/= htn > ntn > dr sex > gtn for me#i do think that gtn might have had a chance against ntn if i had read gtn in the same mindset that i read nona (i.e. already completely 100%#obsessed with the world and characters) but there’s no way either of them could possibly hope to compete with the EXPERIENCE that is htn#and ayu is absolutely perfect for what what it is (character study of judith subtle worldbuilding exercise etc.)#like that short story more than anything else to me is where it’s clear that muir has written fanfic before because in the best possible way#ayu feels like one of those extremely high-quality 10-15k oneshot fics that you read and find your entire life permanently changed by#also the night that story leaked on this website was my destiel night so i will always have a fondness for it tied to that experience#the locked tomb#polls#if this HAS been done on here then i’m sorry and i’m not trying to steal anyone’s thunder! i just really want to know

youidraw.com was lowkey a little disappointing
#bandit's doodles#grian#mumbo jumbo#waffle duo#is waffle duo even their duo name anymore#this must be some kind of sick joke right#Just for a bit in his video#Im calling it rn#It can't be permanent#waffle duo will live on forever#big fan of the grey hairs but the waffle man#think of the waffle#cue montage of all the waffle fun we've had over the seasons#now for the website#The setup looks great#looks professional#my expectations were high#They should not have been based on my last reviews#it had an eraser but it just didn't work?#whenever I tried to change the brush size it would just revert to the huge default??#It had that color picker thing with the gradient which was great#But whenever I tried to switch colors#the last brush stroke I did would change color#the selection tool was fine but when I tried to move things it was being so difficult#this might just be a mobile problem but still a problem#But there was this massive ad on the side of the screen so I didn't get the optimal canvas access#the stabilizer on the pencil was horrendous#that little 'no waffle :(' on mumbos head took like 8 tries for it to look legible in any way#Thats why I just used the text for grian which worked fine#actually 4/10 it looks good but works badly

2007, conference finals phoenix vs san antonio
#politely i'm obsessed#also so the first gif is from essentially the game clinching play#there's a minute and a half left pho are ahead 89 to 85 [they've won the first game in the series if they win this they are through#to the championship. the game has been up and down with sas going on runs and one girl hitting 4 threes in the first#cappie pondexter winds down the shot clock penny sets a screen to let her through#all the sas run to cappie which leaves penny open for 3#she makes it she's fouled and 1#that first gif is right after she makes the shot and the whistle blows#then she makes the free throw phoenix mercury are up by 8 and sas has to foul for the last minute of play#i am also obsessed with their big 3 being 3 13 and 23#also that this is cappie's second year in the league and she is the reason they won this game#and she wins finals mvp#this footage well the first one is from the measly 1 minute and 48 second penny taylor highlight from the wnba#and the second one which is from the same game but not in the bootleg video on youtube is in an edit from inside the bun#which has in the description free diana so i can only assume it's from the modafinil situation but i cannot find that footage anywhere#it's actually unfortunate bc the merc used to like before youtube was big post video exclusives to their website#and not everything has been preserved#i have to go on the internet archive because i think there might be more there#it's where i see all the old late night clips that aren't on youtube#so and ik im yapping here that's why it's in the tags the way i figured out where the last one was from#was i cross checked getty images for the 2007 and 2009 playoffs#and there's an image of cappie you can see her in like the first frame talking to then gm annie meyers drysdale who now calls the games#diana taurasi#penny taylor

I gotta come clean gang, I made this!! With my own blood, sweat, viscous green slime, and tears.
Took me at-least two months to make it and according to the single procreate page I used, approximately 24 consecutive hours (not counting concept art and website stuff)
I post a lot more Kaiju media content on this site but I’m a huge Doctor Who nerd! I was actually into Doctor Who way before I watched a Godzilla movie (11 is my favorite if you’re wondering).
It’s genuinely insane to me that this got this much attention in the first place because I was originally just gonna leave it unlisted and keep it for myself as a little piece of self indulgent fan fiction.
I’ve done a lot of art for this thing (most of it being posted to the website linked in the description if you can figure out the password ;) )
If you’re wondering what regeneration I’ve designated my Doctor, somewhere in the 300’s. Something so comedically high it would take forever for actual Doctor Who to ever reach there.
Some people have asked whether I’ll make more, and I’m definitely considering it, I mean I have a whole series arc planned so it’s not exactly out of the question (another thing you can find in the website) BUT here’s the thing, I want it to be a considerable step up in quality to justify itself if that makes sense.
If I were to make it a series it would have to be realized in a way that’s more appealing then 4 minute monochromatic animatics, which is also a lot of work and might take me a while but could be fun.
Anyway I’m so incredibly happy people are taking a liking to this. Doctor Who has been a part of my life for years so to see other Whovians vibe with what are essentially OC’s brings a big smile to my face
youtube
Have y'all seen this?? I am cracking upppp 😭 it's so good and the art is incredible
#doctor who#dr who#dr who fanart#dr who fandom#dr who art#dr who fanfic#fandom#fan film#animatic#dr who au#fan art#I’m a little late to reposting this but whatever#classic who#new who#whovian#dw
