Does anyone else just wish to know what Shmi thought of all the stuff that went down after TPM?

Of Padme and Anakin secretly marrying?

Of her grandkids, Luke and Leia?

Of Vader?

Of literally anything?

Or is it just me?

My grandma took me to the theater....and surprised me with tickets to the Secrets of Dumbledore!

So...Spoiler alert!

DUMBLEDORE ADMITTED HE LOVED GRINDAWALD. TWICE. SCORE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY.

CREDENCE. he is a dumbledore. Just not what we initially thought. He's Aberforth's son! AND HE'S DYING. THE OBSCRUOUS IS KILLING HIM NO.

MORE FANTASTIC BEASTS YES. (though the scorpion-like creatures kinda freaked me out. I don't like things with many legs. *shudders*)

THE QILIN IS SO CUTE HOW DARE GRINDAWALD KILL ONE HOW DARE YOU SHAME FOR A THOUSAND YEARS-

JACOB AND QUEENIE YES. YOU GO JACOB. SHOW GRINDAWALD YOU WON'T TAKE ANY SHIT YEAH.

NEWT. NEWT MY BOY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

THESEUS IS BACK BRO YES

I love how the Scamander bros relationship kind of echoes the dumbledores'. But they'll have a better one I believe.

ABERFORTH YES I AM LOVING ABERFORTH YO

The professor character (I can't remember her name rn and I can't look it up bc I will lose what I'm typing) is so cool! Am I the only one shipping her and theseus?

EDIT 2/20/22: EULALIE HICKS IS HER NAME SHE IS SO COOL I LOVE HER.

BUNTY YOU ARE AMAZING.

WHY WAS TINA ONLY IN THERE A FEW TIMES? I WANT ANSWERS.

QUEENIE AND JACOB ARE MARRIED YAY

EDIT 4/2/22 WHERE IS NAGINI. THIS QUESTION ENTERED MY HEAD WHEN I WATCHED CRIMS OF GRINDAWALD WHERE IS SHE.

EDIT 5/3/22 CLAUDIA KIM WHO PLAYS NAGINI WASN'T IN THE MOVIE BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT OKAY I FEEL BETTER NOW

My #1 post of 2022

Ok but what if din was there during the originals and like is crushing so hard… and Vader finds out first his daughter is falling for the smuggler now his son is falling for the mandolrin

Can we have headcanons for Vader’s reaction?

Okay, let's see here...

Now, I think we can all agree Vader does anything he can to get his hands on any and all peices of information on his son.

For "research purposes" ofc. (Not. It's cuz he's a snoop. Anakin's still in there, ya know! )

And lo and behold, what is this Vader finds?

What's this Mandalorian bounty hunter doing tagging along with Luke?

...and not bringing him in for that sweet reward Vader placed on his son's head?

So, Vader being Vader (or Anakin being Anakin) starts to keep a closer eye on this Mando.

He pours over holo footage of this Mando lending a hand to Luke, the princess, and that accursed smuggler Solo (at least Solo seems to be just as disgruntled as he is!)

So from that 3 year gap between ANH and Empire, Vader just can't shake the feeling that this Mando...there's something going on there but he can't figure out what...

AND THEN COMES BESPIN

Vader's trap is set. It goes as planned...until it doesn't. (Shocker, right?)

While that Mando's not there, he *does* overhear a little conversation between Leia and Han about him...and Luke.

He would've choked if he could.

Luke. His son. The only person he still cares about.

Is dating?

A Mandalorian?

Force, no.

Not on his fucking watch.

Vader manages to keep his indignation under control for a bit - until he blurts out (before the I am your father moment) to Luke that he *knows* about his relationship.

Luke is, understandably, confused and worried.

On one hand, "oh no Vader knows about Din!"

On the other... (mind the pun)

What does Luke's love life have to do with Vader?! Has Vader been stalking him or something?! (Yes Luke. The answer is yes.)

Then comes the reveal and Luke's ultimate escape, leaving Vader even more frazzled.

First, he finds out he has a son.

Then, that son has a boyfriend. (Who is he? What did he look like under that stupid helmet!!? How old was he - Vader needs to know, okay?!)

Then comes an offhanded comment from Boba Fett.

"Oh, a Mando is silver and red armor? Yeah I know him."

[alexseanchai]

Some of the photos from the official in-character Instas are on Marinette's bedside corkboard. One is hanging in the apartment stairs, we saw it in "Qilin". I don't think the photo anon mentions is off any of the official Instas (partly because Sabine is facing the wrong way in that photo to be the Alya Insta photo I thought it was), but we have no reason to believe Marinette, Adrien, Alya, and Chloe are the only ML characters who have Instagrams, or indeed social media generally with vast image hosting capability. (We know Nino doesn't have an Instagram, but that's it.) Come to that, it's entirely possible Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie has an Insta, if only so Adrien can tag the bakery as well as the baker's daughter when he's waxing rhapsodic about his sweet treat du jour.

Also this looks suspiciously like Marinette Instagram in "Heart Hunter". Different profile pic, and this image of Marinette and Kagami was never on the official in-character Insta, but like.

...None of which rules out Lila being a stalker with a camera and a good zoom lens. The photo with the fishing rod here is a frame from "Ikari Gozen" has to have been taken by someone who was near Pont des Arts while Marinette and Kagami were there for the friendship scavenger hunt. And the camera angle pretty much rules out a photographer anywhere but beside the river at enough of a distance neither Marinette nor Kagami would be likely to see them. And the photo on the sidewalk was definitely taken from an upper floor of an adjacent building.

I'm betting the photos with Luka and Zoe were taken and posted by classmates, though. I'm not sure who exactly, especially since Chloe's view angle of the bit from "Sole Crusher" shows absolutely nobody in a position to take that photo, but the two frames disagree on whether drawing an arrow from Rose through Zoe will point at the close or the far riverbank, so I'm calling animation error.

...Has Lila ever been on the Liberty? At all? I cannot remember a single time.

(And I would be deeply unsurprised to learn either that Luka is taking Marinette's side against both Lila and Chloe while Juleka doesn't want to argue with Luka over Lila, or that Lila ticked Anarka off, and therefore Lila is banned from the boat. I'm certain neither Chloe nor Lila has been there on any occasion Luka and Juleka's father has been present or mentioned, anyway, meaning all either knows about any kids Jagged Stone might have is what's public knowledge, which I am almost positive is nothing whatsoever except possibly that he has more than zero kids.)

Nope, Lila's a stalker, I even saw a picture of Marinette working in the bakery with her mom (with her head chopped off like all the other ones), she def didn't get that one from any group chat lol.

Eh, I could see Marinette posting that pic at some point actually, especially since it's semi-canon that she has an instagram account.

11 Questions Meme

hRules: answer the questions of the person who tagged you, come up with 11 new ones, and tag 11 new people.

Got tagged by @niuniente! Thank you so much! :D <3

1.  What is your comfort food? - Chocolate. Milk chocolate to be more specific. 2. What would you recommend from Netflix? - Castlevania, Nailed it!, Tip and Oh (cartoon version, not 3D animation!) 3. What is your one thing from your bucket list you want to do/achieve in this life time? Can be small or big! - I would like to become a master. I don’t know what master yet (perhaps some martial arts), but I know I would love to have students and teach them. Lead them. Guide them. Help them grow. 4. Congratulations, you have discovered a new star! What name you will give to it? - Aah, oh no! I don’t know :’D Um, maybe Dusty, ahaha. Since that name keeps rolling in my mind as a first name when I think of a new star.

5. What is the best fanfic you have read? Why you like it? - I have read few very good fanfics, but my mind always keep going back on @emerald-leaves “Losing Leo” -> LINK. It just has that... something. It’s perfect. So much emotions, action, tension, great plot, great character handling etc. I have re-read it many times and I still want to go read it again and again <3 But anyone, who don’t know this story, I say this; It is TCEST one which holds male pregnancy as well! If those two things won’t bother you, then I HIGHLY recommend it and other fics from emerald-leaves <3 6. If you took a tattoo, what picture you would take? - Oh my God, I have so many ideas what I would like to take, ahaha! Probably a wendigo or some other monster. Or then skulls, Japanese frog from Japanese art, Japanese or Chinese traditional dragon, Qilin... or / and something small and cute :D But here’s some pics as an examples what kind of style and look I am after / which pleases me the most. Because I am FUCKING PICKY when it comes on tattoos. “Just nice” will never be good enough for me when it comes on them. It needs to be PERFECT. And the tattoo artist HAS TO have amazing skills, not just “normal or okay level” skills.

7. You can summon a demon to help you out with anything you want or need. No limitations and you do not have to sell your soul, either. The demon is just happy to help you. What task you will give to the demon? - To find and get me my mansion further away from people, making sure there’s land for me to have animals. Demon also should make sure I will have money, muscles and health to take care of the animals and live in the mansion :D (as you can see, poor Demon wouldn’t get away from me with just one task, ahah)

8. Are you good with plants? - It depends. Some plants I am good with and some just hate me :’D And there’s also this funny thing; If I have a indoor plant which blooms, they ALWAYS die! But if I have a outdoor plant which blooms, it survives! I don’t know what’s going on etc. but yeah. I have experience this so many times that I don’t want blooming indoor plants anymore because I don’t want to kill them.

9. What is your favorite mythological (folklore) creature? - I always have loved Minotaur, but lately I also have started to like Wendigo with Hiiden Hirvi (Hiisi’s Moose).

10. What makes you inspired? - Usually my imagination combined with music (when it comes to art). Music triggers my imagination instantly. That’s why I prefer listening only instrumental musics or musics with language what I don’t understand (Japanese and Chinese mostly) so that the lyrics won’t ruin or interrupt my imagination / its flow (if lyrics are Finnish or English). With other things I find old historic sculptures and books inspiring, nature, other peoples works (fics and arts), super natural stuff (real, not fictional) etc.

11. I come to visit you; where would you take me in your town/city/country? - Juankoski’s bridge or town square after it’s renovated, ahaha :’D No, not really. Hard to say until I have, someday, managed to move somewhere else since this place currently don’t have anything worth to show.

My questions! 1. What helps you to relax? 2. Your happiest memory / happening from this year so far? 3. You are wrapped in another dimension / galaxy without a warning.

[yingqilin]

Where Do I Even Begin?

Well, first of all, I’ve LOVED LOVED LOVED Qilin ALMOST as much as I loved Unicorns, and Dragon. I say ALMOST because I first saw a unicorn on TV when I was 4 years old in the EARLY 1980s! But, I’d never even heard of a so-called “Chinese Unicorn” since about the mid-late 1980s when I saw a children’s magazine called “Cricket” which had a WHOLE SPREAD about UNICORNS, including the Chinese & Japanese versions.

(I don’t believe this was the actual cover. I can’t remember what year the Cricket Magazine issue was, just that it was in the 1980s. This issue was cited in many books written about Unicorns as well, following its syndication. It had a full on spread including many kinds of unicorns from many cultures... if I recall correctly, there might even have been an French Unicorn story as well.)

When I was a little kid, I actually didn’t like to read (which was an issue by the late 1900s, and even the government would talk about it, the trouble was they’d demonized comic books in the 1960s-1970s, which resulted in that problem, because even tho’ “correlation doesn’t equal causation” they didn’t know that and thought that the act of reading comics made you into a criminal. My experience was the exact opposite, because I read super hero comics a lot and was more interested in THAT than things like doing hard drugs, vandalism, and shoplifting which was rampant in NJ where I grew up.) So, by the late 1980s-early 1990s children were encouraged to read, read, read. Well, I liked pictures, and I LOVED: unicorns, dragons, and dinosaurs, ANYTHING FANTASY, but also Sci-Fi. (I also loved Marvel Comics/X-MEN, and Disney Adventures Magazine, and nearly all the Jeffrey Katzenberg hit Disney Films)

So, whenever it was something of interest to me, I would read a lot, and I had stacks of books, which I also used to practice learning art, and I was self taught. (I have A.D.D.)

I graduated in May 2001 from the Art Institute of Philadelphia (Majored in Computer Animation AKA CAM). And, by the GW Bush Era, I had already been active online since 1994, and had been blogging, and using many various art websites.

By late 2001, and most of the early 2000s (2001-2007) I spent months and even years sketching and drawing Qilin, interacting in the Furry/Anthro Fandom, and published a lot of my works to GeoCites/Yahoo, and had even created my own message boards, and so on. I even had one called “Qilin Savanna” Altho’ much of these sites are gone, my original works still remain on DeviantArt in my gallery HERE. (I also LIVED IN CHINA many times in the GWB Era often.)

Since that time I’d also written a lot of things, multiple times over, about my research into Qilin (which are not all unicorns, just some).

If you were to type in “qilin cartoon” into Google you can actually see the many many photo images that come up since the time I’d first started publishing my work ONLINE, FOR FREE, you can actually see how my works have influenced people. Back then, there was a MAJOR mix-up with the term, because MOST information available in ENGLISH regarding CHINESE EVERYTHING was often inaccurate, used the dead Wade-Giles Chinese language, or were often confused with JAPANESE. Another issue was that I actually could speak standard Mandarin Chinese, but many people wrote the Cantonese names, or FREQUENTLY confused them with Japanese name for the exact same character (AKA kanji, AKA Hanzi), which is “kirin” in Japanese. Also, the majority of NON-Chinese speaking persons don’t know how to pronounce Mandarin pinyin. (Example: Can you pronounce?: chi, qi, shi, xi, zhi, zi, qu, chu, er, ri, ren, si, ran, yu, you, bo, po, zhou, zhu, cao, zui - Most Non-Chinese speakers CANNOT pronounce these correctly at all. “Chi” sounds like “Tcher” and “Qi” sounds like “Tchee”, “Shi” sounds like “scher” and “xi” sounds like “schee”. There are also variations on pronunciation.)

But, I still stuck to the facts. my father-in-law in China,The late Wang Zimin, actually had special access to a restricted library, and wrote letters to me about Qilin, and the 4 major Chinese magical deities: Qilin, Long/Dragon, Fenghuang/Phoenix, Bixi/Dragon-Heard Tortoise.

Back then, mostly you needed to search “kirin” especially because M. Peña called her artwork “Kirin” but still also called them “Chinese Unicorns”. Her gorgeous sculpture works were sold everywhere for years, nation wide, from the boardwalk to Spencer Gifts, to Flea Markets, and Christmas season mall kiosks.

But, as you scroll through all the works produced since that time, not only the ones titled or tagged as "kirin” but over time “Qilin” starts to replace this as more and more people growing up actually start to study Chinese, especially artists and customers, and many of these young artists are either my fans or students, but fans or students of my students... after a while, people forgot who I was... but my work BECAME PART OF THE CULTURE.

You can SEE that many people emulated my poses, my styles of doing hair, and many other details. Over the years, a number of my fans, and friends would send me private messages FREAKING OUT that either someone stole my work, stile my style, or ripped me off...

That’s actually NOT TRUE. No one ripped me off. THOSE ARE MY STUDENTS.

You guys ASKED ME things like: How do you draw _____? so I made countless cheat-sheet style tutorials (because paid classes don’t ACTUALLY TEACH). Also, if someone wants to learn, (like myself) they try to draw from WHAT THEY LOVE. That means ME. MY ARTWORK. How else will they learn if they don’t copy, ask questions, etc.?

I have many many open source materials in my DeviantART gallery (which are STILL MY MOST POPULAR WORKS OF ALL TIME despite the hours of work I’ve produced artistically.) I have also licensed much of my line art works FOR FREE for people to practice coloring with wither digitally, or to print them out and color with real media like markers, color pencils, pastels, or whatever because people kept asking me.

Actually, I would like to credit a number of artists whom are my biggest influences as well:

Susan Dawe

Glen Keane

Alan Davis

Those are my biggest ones, but I also loved artworks by Burne Hogarth,  Auguste Rodin,  Edward Degas (I especially love his ROUGH sketch work), Frank Frazzetta, Boris Vallejo & Julie Belle, Fred Moore, Vladimir “Bill” Tytla,   AND the film The Last Unicorn was especially the #1 thing that got me actually DRAWING when I was 4 years old.

SO much of my work, especially ANYTHING with unicorns, has been tattooed onto people bodies. Many people personally asked my permission, but I honestly DO NOT MIND. I have found over the years more examples of my artwork tattooed onto people than I can count. It’s LOVE.

However, I’ve also many many times been the victim of theft FOR REAL. Many people have tried to rob my sketchbooks, and many companies have illegally robbed my artwork online. It was the cause of MUCH online fights, wars, and battles. There’s also impersonators: People pretending to be ME, or claiming THEY did my work: also the cause of much much online fights and flame wars.

-Then, of course, there’s LOTS & LOTS of kids online that “rob” my work for RPGs, and fan pages... Honestly, I’m NOT going after children, or fans, for harmless things like that... I’m NOT Metallica.

So, where am I going with THIS?

Well, for one, there’s both ART and PHILOSOPHY which are BOTH a MAJOR part of my life.

I had a number of setbacks, delays, and many other strings of very unfortunate events in my life. Needless to say, I was very depressed. However, I did find myself back in college, first for Philosophy, and then for Art, especially Video... which somehow saw me thrust forward into Animation HEAD-FIRST. Suffice it to say, I’ve worked through, blew threw, and past, all of my blocks, and have been doing animation again. (lots more long stories, but not writing them here)

Many many times, you can’t always reach, yet, what you want. Other times, other persons, or groups want to change you, or make you something else.... and not you. But, it kills you inside...

At some point, you need STOP listening to everyone, and everything else, ESPECIALLY if that’s not FLOWING in the direction are are INSIDE.

I’d already WANTED to produce at least 2 series/films of my own. (”Eyewitness” and “Zenith Beyond The Dragon’s Rue”) Well, THIS is a branch off that tree. This stems from my concepts for “Eyewitness” but sort-of... I had ALWAYS wanted to produce my own small animated shorts, especially with music, like the old 20th Century animated works such as “Silly Symphonies”, “Merry Melodies”, and even Disney's “Fantasia”, but also a number of influences from Far East Asia including PR China, and Japan.

I’ve been multiple times inspired by Socrates, Plato, Laozi, Bruce Lee (Li Xiaolong), and many fusion artists/dancers on the American West Coat including my teachers: Zoe Jakes, and Alyssum Pole, as well as Rachel Brice, Carolena Nericcio, Jamlila & Suhaila Salimpour, but also Matahari, and Kerli Kõiv. People that think differently, question things, or create their own ideas, or even fusion artists.

Well, this project has been on my mind since at least 2001.

In fact, my actual name (Ming Zi) in Chinese is: 任思麒 (Ren SiQi)

It literally means: Duty/Task [to] Think/Contemplate/Dream of Qi[lin]!

Also, as an artist, there are a number of things I believe in, whereas other things I’ve shed like a snake molting its skin. I’m a fusion artist, an eclectic artist, but I still firmly believe in art fundamentals like life drawing, practicing one’s skills, and I use bot digital and real media. I LOVE TO DRAW. I firmly believe in Quality OVER Quantity, yet, in some instances I also think too much detail is overdo, and somethings look better less refined. I like realism, stylization, cartoons, and beautiful things.

I want to create content that is LESS about “being a big success” or ego driven ideas of “stardom”, and lavish money making, but more about THE LOVE OF IT.

I do NOT want to be part of any establishment groups, crowds, clubs, or institutions, and DON’T want to be mainstream, NOR corporate. I have found all of those things to be negative and destructive to my life and therefore regret pursuing those avenues. I’m NOT interested in walking those paths, nor dunking helplessly into those turbulent or stagnant flows, but RATHER Flow my own way, because I have my OWN PATHS. I don’t need to buy their metaphorical light bulbs, because I have my own light that I can shine inside of me.

And, if I am being completely frank & honest, another MAJOR influence on me WAY BEFORE HE WAS EVEN POPULAR was Bernie Sanders. I am a Berner. Sanders actually GAVE OF HIS HEART & HIS TIME FOR FREE. He crowd funded for what he believed in with SMALL MONEY because he was against BIG MONEY.

I have no care for being in exclusive film festivals or galleries. People whom already LOVE my work find their way to it. People HAVE found value in my efforts and work.

Therefore, I wish to begin producing this animated short. It is not cheap tho’. But, I will gladly share my process, my concept work, my practice work, and everything FOR FREE. Free to ALL ARTISTS, and people whom just live beautiful things, art, and QILIN.

I wish to pursue an independent direction in my art. But, I would very much like to include people, if not the world or those in it that care about these things, to interact with me. A long time ago I’d created my “Qilin Savanna” site to interact with people whom also loved Qilin, Unicorns, Dragons, and other things, but also a love for art, or learning art.

This year (2017) while interacting with MANY MANY young people, and young artists, I often found that people WANTED to learn to DRAW, to improve their techniques and practice them, but despite having paid money to attend art classed (including “drawing classes”) they did not actually get what they paid for, did not actually get instruction for what they wanted to learn, but either had to fend for themselves, try independently, or got resources online for free... so, why then were they paying for it?

I have many many times, spent just a short moment with frustrated peers, students, classmates, friends, and fellow artists whom couldn’t draw what they wanted to, and teased me for being some kind of special person... when in fact, whatever I do, others can too. I sat with them, explained, and demonstrated (AKA Using The Feynman Technique) and after that moment of AHA THEY COULD DO IT. And, they didn’t need to come back. 

I did THAT FOR FREE.

I did THAT FOR LOVE.

And, NO, I DON’T HAVE A MASTER’S DEGREE. Honestly, at this point, I don’t feel I actually want one. I DON’T want to be a part of that club, nor establishment either. In this way, I’m somewhat like Socrates, Diogenes, or Bruce Lee... only NOT. I’m ME. 

I have a lot more to say, but I think I will leave it here for now.
