How easy is it to subdue a giant Cetus / sea monster?

Shockingly easy if it’s ticklish (and if it’s your friend, most importantly). A little gift for @macrolago ft. Perry the Bilby and Bruce (Cetus form)!

[destinypaw]

@chainsxwsmile Since you’ve done a great job at drawing Bruce the Cetus and yeas it was BEAUTIFUL!! so I decided to make an art about Bruce introducing to red the kangaroo (Even they don’t even met each other before Lol)

I mean I think it’s such a wonderful art! (Also I love When you draw my oc Lucia I appreciate that!)

Perry (Bilby)

I watched a short film called "Bilby", and it was pretty interesting! So I drew the main character of the short film, Perry (which I found out his name on a larrikins wiki article)!

Too bad DreamWorks cancelled that Larrikins movie a few years back.

[chiprewington]

can you tell us more abt stapler?

Thumbs up emoji... I'm glad you wanna know more about her!!

There was a whole... Thing involving her circumstances that needed to be dealt with for the safety of her and her parents. Legally, she is listed as only a Bilby Toon. Nothing about how she's actually a White-tailed Jackrabbit+Chainsaw Consultant.

Chip's involvement with her is kept incredibly under wraps and anonymous. This is why her last name is specifically Winkles rather than Revvington or Winkles-Revvington. As far as anyone knows, Stapler's father is unknown to the public.

Both of these above points allows at least enough comfort to have her attend a Private School. Parent/Teacher Conferences means that only Perry comes.

In fact... a lot of Stapler's care falls onto Perry. While Chip is absolutely doing a lot better mentally and is in a much, much better place than he ever was while employed under C.O.G.S. Inc., he still has to be careful. He needs to be able to step away if necessary. He's immensely bothered by the fact, even though it's mandatory for his and his family's safety.

Enough of the more rough facts though. Stapler grows fast (though she was a big baby to begin with), getting nearly as tall as Perry by the time she's 3 years old and she still wants uppies. (Don't worry, Chip can still give her uppies.)

She was also named by Chip. ...His excuse is that toons have silly names regularly. ...And she looks like a Stapler. ...If you squint.

Her eyes are tiny and beady under the glasses. She's also very near-sighted. Flunky-type beat.

She also remains non-verbal for quite a while, only starting to talk in the middle of her 3rd year and even then preferring to be quiet.

Not having a mouth (her "teeth" aren't actual teeth. it's white steel) might be part of this.

In comparison, she picks up on Sign Language very quickly and prefers it instead.

Her favorite toys are what's basically a Suit-equivalent to Barbie. She fucking loves playing dolls and making up the most convoluted plots ever. She will hand you one of her Mingler dolls and tell you she's a wanted criminal.

at some point she happens upon Chip's metal band CD and merch collection and this becomes her canon event

Today's Save the Bilby art is of Perry from the Dreamworks' short film "Bilby," using the puppet Bob Bilby from "Bluey," to play with his adopted daughter! These cute little guys are bilbies, an endangered species that need our help for their continued survival! If you'd like to help; the Save the Bilby Fund will have all donations matched on March 20th starting at 9am (AEST)! Every little bit will help, and USD happens to be worth a little more in AUD too if you're in the US!

Bilby is one of the best shorts I've seen in ages. It's a been a long time since any animation warmed my heart so much. Sure, there's been plenty of Pixar movies that made me cry, but warm fuzzies that made me feel all gooshy inside? I can't remember the last time that's happened. And the main character has quickly become one of my favorites. It's definitely worth mentioning that Bilby is actually the end result of a cancelled feature-length musical DreamWorks was making called Larrikins. Look up the article on the Lost Media Wiki if you wanna read more about it. I really hope one day they can finish it.

Just a quick  ☯ test so I can get back into the groove of writing my boi Andrew again

It's been weeks since Andrew's big incident. He hasn't been contacted or in touch with anyone during all that time, mostly spent reminiscing and thinking about how things could've been. How they would've been better. Enter a big kangaroo and his small bilby pal, both of whom have caught Andrew's attention.

He briefly reconsidered not saying anything, yet he persevered anyway. This may be the only chance he'd get to engage in conversation with anyone besides himself for months! "Are you the only ones?" He asked the two quickly. Andrew worried that behind them there might've been an angry crowd ready to tear him apart. The bilby and the kangaroo stared at the toad confused.

"Who know?" He elaborated. The two still looked on, lost in the context.

"...That I'm here?" He now whispered. Again, the fear of being theoretically torn to shreds haunted his conscience. He didn't want anyone else to hear his location, should they perhaps be ready to rip him apart again. The bilby finally answered. "I think so, but I don't..."

"Phew! Last thing I need is to be mobbed while I'm still moist, from my douched-on upper scene."[citation needed] Andrew was relieved. He had a lot of weight on his shoulders upon these two stumbling across him, and he relaxed his muscles once he found out he was safe... for now. "You're...?" The��bilby was about to ask the toad who he was, but he began to ramble before Perry could get any more words out.

"Although to be honest, it's quite nice bumping into you." Andrew paced about the two as he explained his situation. The bilby and kangaroo were finally about to be introduced to his character, and for once in a long while, Andrew embraced their soon-to-be-found knowledge.

"I value the privacy, I really do. I needed a bit of me time... Y'know, a little medititive solitude, but it's just so boring, y'know? Sorry..."

(at least for now)

Andrew spoke and gloated for a solid minute before the kangaroo started doubting Andrew's sanity. "Okay... Uh, Perry, should we get moving?" Red whispered to Perry's ear. Still the toad continued to monologue, even breaking the two's space together to regain his attention.

"Can you imagine what it's like, looking like this?" He looked over towards Red's direction, mildly distraught. "Aww, of course you can't. Look at your thin lips!" He pressed his gleaming finger onto the kangaroo's mouth, before backing up to nonchalantly compliment his bilby companion.

"Y'know in a way, I envy him, his cloddish visage... If I looked less amazing, maybe it wouldn't have happened!" Andrew let his shoulder go of Perry as he slowly began to slightly break down, over the unspoken events of his past. "What wouldn't?" Perry asked Andrew.

He was suddenly back to being shy and hesitant, and began to stumble on, and think carefully about, his own words. "The tragic thing... that... happened." Perry was puzzled still, at what must've happened to Andrew. The bilby softly spoke a simple "What?"

"Would you mind if we stopped talking about it?" The cane toad suddenly raised his voice. His mindset immediately switched to being a drama queen in just mere milliseconds. Red began to hop away from the toad. "Great idea." He sarcastically said as he grabbed Perry. Andrew instantly saw the kangaroo's efforts to carry the bilby onward to his own path, and quickly grabbed the bilby by his arm back, before looking back again.

"It's very painful!" Andrew attempted to bait the two into hearing his story through and through, but the kangaroo was having none of it. "Okay handsome, thanks for sharing. Let's go." Red said whilst winking at Perry, signaling the bilby to follow in his footsteps. "I'm sorry, we have to leave." The bilby quietly adjourned to Andrew, as he slowly started backing up towards the direction Red was heading.

"Oh yeah, no worries, yeah sure. See ya." Andrew quickly replied back. He tried to act like their departure was nothing more than a tasteless fly, but deep down he knew that it meant the world to him, being able to speak to someone whom hasn't had a negative bias towards him in such a long time. He thought it over and decided... Where those two were heading, perhaps Andrew should tag along with?

“I’m not gonna hurt ya!”

PERRY 🩵🫐🐾 Aesthetic

[kettterer]

Sorry again for being really inactive lately. I have nothing much to say beside that I have been horribly unmotivated for the past several months. In make-up for that, I drew a full-body image of Perry the Bilby from the cancelled film Larrikins. I am kind of interested in the franchise, and I wonder what the film would have been if it wasn't cancelled. Of course, This little guy belongs to Dreamworks.

Tim Minchin: 'I need to remind myself what my job is' after Hollywood

Right about now, Tim Minchin should have been basking in the warm glow of seeing his debut as a director hit cinema screens around the world. Instead, he is in Australia, preparing for his first full concert on home soil in three years as he slowly recovers from a Hollywood dream-turned-nightmare.

"Obviously, that all went to shit, but not before they stole four years of my life," Minchin says of the experience of having his animated musical Larrikins cancelled when Dreamworks Animation, which commissioned it, was taken over by Universal last year.

Tim Minchin in concert

Tim Minchin electrifies a crowd with his new song about things people are reluctant to say.

Universal has had success in recent years with the Fast and Furious, Fifty Shades and Jurassic World films – "almost franchise-endingly bad stuff," as Minchin puts it. A one-off movie about a bilby and a kangaroo in the Australian outback was not quite their speed. "They're obsessed with pre-existing intellectual property," he says. "We didn't stand a chance."

The movie, budgeted at $100 million, had been slated for release in February 2018; Minchin got news that it was being canned in March 2017, while he was in Budapest playing Friar Tuck in a new Robin Hood movie (that one is still due for release, in September).

The fact the movie could be canned “without [the decision makers] ever walking into a room and talking to you or acknowledging" the years of work about to be tossed aside infuriated Minchin.

Never shy about speaking his mind, the man who gave us the ditties I Still Call Australia Homophobic and Come Home (Cardinal Pell) finally dragged the reluctant suits to lunch, where he told them they were "behaving psychopathically".

"I don't blame them for avoiding me," he says. "I am almost pathologically incapable of the bullshit they live in."

When he finally got an explanation, it did nothing to assuage him. "When someone says 'We're shutting down your project because we can use that $50 million as a tax write-off against the purchase of the studio', the gap between you and those people feels absolutely unbridgeable," he says. "I just want to scream at them."

Minchin says he is 'pathologically incapable' of playing Hollywood at its own game. Photo: Justin McManus

Minchin says he feels most for the 100 or so creatives who worked on the movie, particularly the Australian writer Harry Cripps. "It's just broken them, f---ing broken them in a way that they will never really get over."

In many ways, 2017 was a year Minchin can't get over soon enough; despite great reviews and a bunch of Tony nominations, his Broadway musical Groundhog Day (adapted from the 1993 movie starring Bill Murray) closed after just six months. "It was a very tough year and Broadway is a f---ing bloodbath," he says wryly.

But 2018 is all about fresh starts. He and his wife Sarah had always planned to move back to Australia this year, and while the circumstances aren't quite as envisaged, he is relishing the opportunity to "live near the beach and heal yourself from all this American dirt".

The move has been a wrench for his two young kids, but the arrival of a long-promised dog is easing the pain. "We're getting there," he says.

As is Minchin himself. He's writing material for a new album he hopes to release this year, with an eye to touring it in 2019. There's a TV show in the works too, which he wants to make in Australia.

First up, though, is Saturday's concert at the opening of the Gold Coast's Home of the Arts outdoor stage. He promises a Matilda-leaning family-friendly program, and some surprise guest musicians. Above all, he promises no interference from the studio.

"I'm in a very privileged position because I can just go on tour and I'm the only person who gets to touch my work," he says. "I need to remember that because I haven't toured for years, and that's stupid.

"This Gold Coast gig is a little shot in the arm," he adds. "I need to get back on stage and remind myself what my job is."

DO NOT REPOST!!!

(ONE person on YouTube has been reposting my Larrikins art— which I have to constantly file copyright complaints to take them down. Luckily YouTube follows suit and takes down the videos, but I’ve had to file it about three times in the past year)
