Meanwhile I'm back to taking screenshots of Peet since youtube's better for that than the Angel Studios site and oh my gosh he cannot stop SMILING while he talks to Leeli and it is SO SWEET, he looks so happy to be interacting with the kiddos finally I'm dead ;-;

he just smiles at her through their whole interaction help

[mozart-the-meerkitten]

scrolling through an old word document and I came across the squeeblin screenshots I forgot I took

why does it look LIKE THAT?! why does it have a human face?! why does it only look half animated?! why is it almost see through? it looks like it belongs in the Blackwood not Glipwood Forest!

Even before it opens its mouth it looks WEIRD

the HECK is this Wingfeather people? who forgot to finish animating the squeeblin?! I am CONCERNED for its health and wellbeing. I know you were in a rush but this thing is nightmare fuel please fix it

Janner crying over Sara being taken and thinking it's his fault

Peet having a panic attack everytime something clearly reminds him of Esben

GUYS

BILLY BOYD IS GONNA BE IN THE WINGFEATHER SHOW

aka PIPPIN. FROM LORD OF THE FREAKING RINGS

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO HE IS IN THE SHOW BUT HE’S GONNA BE IN IT

AYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Link to the article! https://www.awn.com/news/exclusive-angel-studios-reveals-wingfeather-saga-season-2-cast

tweet from Andrew to back it up!

also I met him once he’s a really nice guy HE SIGNED MY LOTR BOOK AND COMPLIMENTED IT

I agree with all of this and if you want to see a tv show that has beautifully hand-painted backgrounds by properly credited human artists you should head on over to Angel Studios and watch The Wingfeather Saga tv show- for FREE!

Like, y’all, Aedan Peterson, the son of the author of the books the Wingfeather show is based on, painted this treehouse for the show. If that’s not knowing who the people involved are then I don’t know what is.

Also the show is really good and it, and everything on Angel Studio’s site, is about to start giving Netflix, Amazon and Disney a run for their money (and it’s completely crowdfunded).

So yeah, if you wanna watch something with a fantastic storyline, characters, and beautiful animation and hand drawn/painted backgrounds, say “suck it!” to Netflix and go watch The Wingfeather Saga show!

So Netflix is releasing this animated movie but here’s the thing - all backgrounds are done in AI. No actual BG artists were hired or credited for this work. 

And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. 

Check this out:

“+Human”. No names, no nothing. 

I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill. Hilariously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan. 

The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR WINGFEATHER SAGA S2E2

I knew Nugget's death was coming, and as much as I prepared myself for it (at the time I wasn't sure what episode it would come up in) I was..... not prepared. And now I'm sad. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIEEEEE😭😭😭😭😭😭

at least I have my emotional support Nugget plushie. but still. :((

Also did anyone else notice that Hulwen was the one who carried Nugget to his 'grave'?? that was a very interesting detail, and if I'm correct that it's Hulwen, then..... boy do we have a lot coming up.

I have much more to say but I'm currently going through the 5 stages of grief so I'll make a post later

WHO IS THIS PEET BLOKE? Why does he wear so many socks? Why does he have talons? What mysterious trauma led to him hiding in the woods? Inquiring minds want to know! (He adopts children at the drop of a hat and has a Mysterious Past TM (I think??) so clearly he is a fun character.)

HAHA HELLO!!! I received two asks (including this one) about the dear Sockman within minutes of each other, so that was fun XD Glad to see that my obsession with Peet has become Noticeable!

Okayokay, so, Peet is this lovely man:

He’s eating SOUP LOOK AT HIM!!!

His real name is Artham, but for an undisclosed reason he goes by Peet. He wears socks in order to cover up/hide his hands, which don’t… really look like human hands.

You can see that they resemble something a lot more creature-y, and he doesn’t like to show them off. The socks are a good way to hide them—everyone just thinks he’s weird for wearing them over his hands, and they don’t suspect a reason for it.

As to the reason he has talons… if I answered, that would give away many many spoilers, so I will refrain unless you tell me otherwise 😅 Same with his trauma!

YES HE LOVES KIDS!!! He has a special fondness for Janner, Tink, and Leeli, the main characters of The Wingfeather Saga. He’s super protective of them and just… so sweet 🥺 Later in the book series (the tv show is pretty new and there’s only one season so far) he ends up befriending even more children, and it’s the SWEETEST THING AAAAAAAAAAAAH

Mysterious indeed! You don’t really find out exactly who he is/what happened to him until the end of the third book, so he definitely kept me on my toes! He’s an awesome character, and I think—for the most part—he was written really, really well :) There’s a reason he’s now my second favorite character, after all.

Ajsgajsgajfsjagsjsgs this ask was delightful and made me laugh, thank you so so much for sending it!!

OH SHOOT ANOTHER ONE-

Uh ok.. * searches brain files frantically *

Me and my family randomly quoting through a whole movie in the middle of a drive or task~ ( Seriously, this happens ALL the time- And I LOVE IT. Even during filming, if one of the crew says a line like " I found a speeider!!" then me and my sisters and cousins will go " .. Even the smallest bite from Arachnus Deathicus will instantly paralyze- OW- GET IT OFF!! OW IT BIT ME!!" And continue from there XD ( The scene I'm quoting here is from Megamind! )

Watching movies and tv shows with my family~ ( We all enjoy many ranges of films and series together, (including, but not limited to), Scorpion, Psych, the Wingfeather Saga, Avatar the Last Airbender, Gilmore Girls, How to Train Your Dragon, Home Alone 3, and many many more. :)

Having the experience of a stray cat having kittens in my home~ Seriously, I would recommend this to anyone who has kids. You learn so much on what to do during the birth, as well as you learn the weight of responsibility. Plus- ADORABLE LITTLE KITTENS RUNNING AROUND FOR MONTHS!! 10/10 stars.

Having my Mum read to me and my sisters. :) ~ Since I was homeschooled my whole life, this was a normal occurrence every day. However, once me and my sisters graduated, we all began to truly miss it, so whenever my Mum is reading something we all like, ( like the Chronicles of Narnia ), we'll all pile into the room and listen like we're kids again. <3

Writing!~ I never imagined I would write a whole fanfic of TMNT. Heck- I never imagined I would finish the whole first BOOK on said fanfic. But here I am now, currently working on Chapter One of Book Two of " the Strength in Weakness." And it just blows my mind that so many people have enjoyed reading it <3

Thanks for the ask, @burritello3000!! :)

wait I just reread your bio and my irl reads the wingfeather saga! I don’t know much about it but she really likes it

oh cool! yeah i feel fake having it in my bio bc i’ve only read the first of the 4 books and i haven’t seen the tv show, but i really like it so far! it’s a middle grade fantasy series by andrew peterson who is also a Christian singer/songwriter, so there are a lot of Christian themes in the story which i love. and there’s a big focus on sibling/family relationships with a really intriguing mystery and intricate worldbuilding. hoping to get back into the series soon! i bought the second book when i was in new york and i may pick it up after i finish my current read.

(shoutout to @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters and @kanerallels who posted about this series and got me interested :P)

[kanerallels]

OH MY STARS HAZEL!!! Did you see the trailer for The Wingfeather Saga season two?? I’m SO excited!!

(I got a little bit too happy during the Artham scene, even if it lasted for like two seconds lol)

I JUST WATCHED IT AND I AM LITERALLY LOSING MY MIND WITH EXCITEMENT NOW!!!!!!!!!! This season is gonna be incredible, even though I KNOW it's gonna end on a cliffhanger since they're splitting book two into two parts (or at least so I'm told). But we still get my boy the Florid Sword! And Maraly!!! And the Fork Factory!!!!!!

(dude that is VALID I freaked out a little too. I'm so freaking excited to see how they show the journey he went through in book two in the tv show!!)
