I had a dream last night involving this silly ass Mumbo Jumbo plushie and he was so incredible that I had to immediately wake up and draw him so that he may be immortalized

I feel like it's important to note that he's definitely supposed to be one of those little plushies you clip to your bag but he's like twice the size that any of them should be. He was $60 and I bought him immediately upon seeing him.

idea: “Would you fall in love with me again” edit where it flashes between different animator’s versions of odysseus and penelope; where it flashes between different animatics of the song. They fall in love over and over again. In every interpretation. In every context. Designs change, but its still them. Time and time again.

i've been thinking a little about the belief that true freedom can only be found in isolation. reasonably, you can do whatever you want when not constrained by laws or the public eye. yet, without limitations, what's the point of doing anything? it's connection which give you purpose and it's other people who define your reality.

and, where the princess is imprisonment, i think abt how the long quiet represents freedom. without the narrator imposing his limitations, tlq can accomplish whatever he wants if he believes himself capable. according to the shifting mound, even after escaping from her shackles, the princess recognizes, if subconsciously, that the long quiet is a gateway to her freedom.

and then i think abt cold. and i think about how he wants us to do whatever we please without fretting over emotions or morals. the long quiet is Nothing, but the only way for him to encompass Nothing is through isolation. to be freed of the princess who gives him shape.

and cold helps you but at the same time he urges you to chase new sensation because even then he represents longing. he uniquely understands the princess's since he, too, has spent an eternity in the cabin, and he longs for connection with her. to feel anything other than oneself. it's not only rage and sorrow he hopes to repress but Love.

and then i think abt the new ending. how if you choose again and again to choose cruelty, to deny your connection with the princess and slay the shifting mound then you'll lose the voices along with her. true freedom at the expense of losing the sums which makes you You. is this anything

Since hyv are being clowns again, I guess I'm doing another redesign masterpost for Natlan. I won't be able to collate it properly for a while (since I'll need to message for permission, and it's still early days so more info on cultural inspirations would be useful) but if anyone has any links to redesigns they've done or would like added to the post, please send them my way

thinking about kab and the thing about her i think is she knows just enough to keep herself safe Generally but not enough to really predict what would happen should something more... complicated??? unforeseen??? idk whats the right word to use but something not covered by someones reputation and/or vids happen, believe it or not this also affects her view of clownpierce (we'll get to that)

for example, mapicc has a reputation for being an violent, angry, & impulsive guy and nothing else which makes sense but is incredibly surface level and something that only really works if you dont have a lot of experience working with him

another is reddoons, his betrayal after the base incident while shocking is not unforeseen but his reputation as being a guy whos seen as being a reasonable person whos fairly loyal to his team made it seem like something he wouldnt do even tho it absolutely is

regarding how it affects her view of clown, since he isnt perfectly aligned with his reputation she instead pivots in the complete opposite direction and forgiving basically every crime he does even tho hes something much more mild and complicated than either his reputation or her view of him will ever be (think madonna-whore complex which is especially obvious when it comes to kabs vs woogies view of him)

another side effect of this Just Enough amount of knowledge aside from being blinded by her own expectations is that it frustrates ppl who think shes oversimplificating things (like me and seemingly several other tumblr users as well) especially when she claims that shes objectively correct and the smartest in the room at any given moment

how this roughness in her analysis affects her in the server still has yet to be fully seen but we do still have at least a couple months until the end but 'til then shes just gonna keep stumbling as more and more complicated situations pop up as is typical in lifesteal to happen and eventually shes gonna have to learn to adapt or else she'll be suffering the consequences one way or another

Good morning transformers fandom, I'm new here

Now from what I gather there's a guy? Jetfire? Skyfire?? In the ice? Now someone must have done this already because how could u not, but what if The Thing au, what then

Like, the whole point of the Thing is that it imitates u perfectly. So they don't know something's wrong, they don't know that that's not Jetfire, girl that's a Thing.

Hi sorry ur boyfriend's been thingified, yeah that's gonna be a whole thing. Imagine fighting a war for just, forever and u land on this shitty planet full of apes and one of ur guys crashes into the fucking north pole. And then he's just back? And suddenly you're fighting this third party, this thing that could be anyone and suddenly the war is on pause because hey guys, you can't fight a war if you're all not even yourselves anymore. Or maybe not, maybe both factions are pointing fingers at each other and fighting harder and meanwhile folks are being assimilated left and right until there's nobody left.

I'm not gonna wax poetic about the horror of The Thing, just watch that movie, but imagine it. Imagine the thing.

Yes, Frostcup is a better ship name, but Hijack just captures the dangerous recklessness that these two exhibit in their daily lives.

Hiccup tends to be labeled the "responsible one" by default because he's always surrounded by reckless idiots, but he's just as careless when it comes to his own safety as any of the other dragon riders or the big four, it just always works out for him.

I’m sorry, even his eyelids couldn’t stop his powers? Has Scott ever had this happen on-panel? How would that even work?

Would his eyelids be completely blown off, like Chamber’s jaw? Would he simply be unable to close his eyes?

important nsbu questions- do you think if the characters that the video store employees inhabit have disabilities do u think that the employees would then get that disability

(like cassie's not hoh but indi is, would cassie become hoh when inhabiting indi???)

mmm that’s the assumption i’ve been operating under? i think a disability is a part of a person enough that it would stay considering it is part of their body

I really like how the piano in the background of AKAA sounds so gentle, so lovely, listening to the instrumental feels like a warm soothing hug, totally contrasting the pain, passion, frustration in Haruka's voice (and the general dark theme of AKAA)

Weakness is the opposite; the instrumental is very chaotic—in a wonderful way—but Haruka's singing sounds calmer, even at the moments where he's shown to be in great distress.

I also like how at the end of AKAA the music starts to get not so gentle, it really feels like it's showing how Haruka was having a total mental breakdown, how his entire world was collapsing in seconds (and suddenly there's hardly any music anymore. He's come back to his senses and realizes nothing will be the same again. I could ramble forever about Haruka's smile, how it seemed to me like a broken "I messed up" smile rather than a "finally, I got attention" smile, at the very end of AKAA)

hi mutuals im just curious.

[camellcat]

thinking about making a pack au where they actually stick closer to hyenas than whatever the fuck they did in that episode

bc uh he-LLO? hyenas are like... one of the BIG popular matriarchal animals and we just acted like xander was all scary now? pshh. I mean he was hyenas are scary but buffy is absolutely highest rank top dog here no wayyy he'd be all scary to her since they're already y'know a "pack" of sorts. like I'm pretty sure he'd still defer to her. plus willow! her making friends with buffy first and just generally being a girl he'd rank below her as well (though I do wonder where his stance with giles would be)

and I get that xander already sorta had a new clan with the other possessed kids but even then why was HE at the top of that hierarchy?? in fact it was so barely structured at all I'm only assuming xander was a high rank bc he's just one of our mains. and the shot of them all walking ofc where he was front and center I can read basic filmmaking choices lol

but also hyenas have FRIENDS! they have cliques and groups within their own clan. isn't that so cool? why did they just disregard xander's friendship with the scoobies? I think the fact xander had friends and quite loyal ones is like important? I mean okay I suppose it's all he's in this clan now he's cut ties with the scoobies, but to me at least I think that's kinda boring haha. though actually even if xander had the support of the scoobies, with how that clan were already a group before xander and not with xander at all, he'd actually probably be like real goddamn low anyways instead of more equal like it was shown

look I really have no idea about any of this I've just been looking up hyena facts for the past hour bc I thought it was neat. I simply think they should've done more with this instead of oo look xander's all feral and evil when they literally chose hyena to be their animal. like ooookay then whateverrrr lame
