honestly like kipperlily kind of hits on the same story beats hit by tectonya karkovnya and more broadly neverafter for me like. what if you were stuck being a background character in someone else’s story. what if you were resigned to being a boring person surrounded by outstanding people deemed of legendary significance by the fate and random chance. what if your adventuring party didn’t give a fuck about being special or about being heroes but instead chose to see themselves as minmaxxers going for the easy win. what if you wanted to be a hero and no one would let you, and when you met the people you resented this whole time for being heroes, they proved themselves as being as mean to you as you thought they would be. what if the one time you really reached out for it and went on a mission that you knew was above your level and you wanted to be a hero this once and be important and succeed, you got turned into the pawn of a dead rage god. what if you weren’t allowed to be an intrepid hero, so you turned into a villain

Drawn in Photoshop, animated in Spine Pro. The final art piece I made for my bachelor thesis on GIF as a medium for art.

I've been researching digital art in the context of modern folk art, outside institutional or commercial art. I analysed almost 500 art GIFs across Tumblr, Artstation and GIPHY.

There's almost no academic research on art GIFs, so it was important to me to examine and document it. I also examined the optimisation of GIFs and how it relates to web sustainability.

And because the bachelor program was focused on art practice, I then created my own art GIFs, and it seemed only right that I should do it through fanart of something I've been really into lately. Thanks @samreich and the rest of Dropout for giving me some unhinged content as inspiration. Watch 'Game Changer' everyone, it's great.

hats off to the man that has been making us all lose our minds for the past 5 months

[curiousaur]

they simply must stop making ally and brennan learn new names that sound like intrepid hero characters

[goblin-king-jay]

Ally: Yeah I grab a pool skimmer-- (starts laughing at themself)

(audience laughs)

Ally: --and I start trying to get that out of the well.

Brennan: Sorry, stop, real quick -- when you 'grab a pool skimmer'...

Zac: The quangle appears!

Ally: Yeah! The quangle appears, and the peppermint BURSTS open and there's a pool casita.

(cast and audience laugh)

Ally: And I run to it--

Siobhan: Adaine runs out of the time quangle with a bowl of shrimp-- (laughs)

(audience cheers and applauds; shots of a few people in the audience holding up cardboard cutouts of oversized shrimp)

(Ally is losing it)

Siobhan: --out of whatever the pool thing is and goes, "it seems like you need this. I got a vision." and then runs back through.

Zac: "Fabian's gonna be mad!"

Brennan: ...you have a pool skimmer.

I think the best part of finishing Burrow's End is the moment about six or so hours later, where you're chilling in the shower or in the middle of dinner, and you suddenly realize that the tape—you know, that tape—wasn't all five of the Firsts dog-piling and murdering Dr. Winnebago, but literally just Phoebe. And just that one stoat was enough to cause the carnage the kids found in the store room and turn the doctor into a Meat Dave when she didn't even know how to speak human yet.

witnessing the most horrifying atrocities and then experiencing whiplash from the funniest thing you’ve ever seen is just part of the d20 experience

[vivitalks]

brennan lee mulligan wrote two whole seasons of a d&d campaign just to really underscore to everyone that when you enter a train car it is your irrefutable civic responsibility to move all the way in so you aren't blocking the doors
