honestly “i’ll do whatever you want” “then perish” is the single most powerful exchange possible in the english language and it’s from some bizarre “hewwo” obama rp
And there was that other post where someone dreamt that Obama said “violence for violence is the rule of beasts” like what is it about Obama that makes people come up with such raw fucking dialogue for him
my mother had a dream where he lived in the forest and she had a cigarette with him and he said “to become god is the loneliest achievement of them all” and put it out and walked into the mist and i’ve never fucking forgotten that
Reboot this post to be blessed with dream Obama’s wisdom
hey so, i really dig this particular style of animation but I don’t know what it’s called:
thicker lineart but with obvious weight, interesting usage of curves and angles
characters are fairly colorful but it’s more muted and retro-style, it blends with the background. sometimes colors are even more stylized for effect depending on the scenes, overall aesthetically pleasing
its generally pretty cartoony
character designs are diverse but they all retain some sort of charm, im not sure how to describe it but theyre all pretty funky and flowy and i really like that
usually big, oval-shaped, expressive as FUCK eyes
animation itself is pretty smooth and stretchy, usually traditionally animated. lots of facial expressions, very fun to look at
i know for a fact that not every early 2000s cartoon had this style but i really like it, idk if theres a specific name for it.
The style is based off of the UPA style revival kicked off in the 90s. UPA was popular with early television animation in the 50s because the more simplistic style was cheaper to produce as well as aesthetically pleasing, cartoons like Ren & Stimpy brought it back from the dead as retro cool.
This is my personal favorite style
This style seriously needs a comeback. And I’m not just saying that because it was probably the most influential to me.
tea drinkers: unlike you filthy disgusting creatures i only drink green chamomile peppermint raspberry lemon tea, which makes all my insides glow 10 times brighter and improve. i can feel my body get healthier by every drink i take of my delicious hot mug of TEA. youre absolutely disgusting and a waste of human potential
coffee drinker: hhhnng lov those beans
someone tagged this as #tw drama
coffee drinkers: i am unimaginably powerful. i can see through time. i haven’t slept in four days but who needs sleep when you are on a higher plane of existence. the beans are in my soul, they are in my heart. i AM the beans. soon i will vibrate at the harmonic resonance of the universe and transcend.
tea drinker: hhhhhhhhhhhot leaf juice
soda drinkers: death is coming. death is coming. pass me a hotdog.
I think that it’s pretty clear that Tumblr is not a healthy site for content creation.
Minus all of the faults and glitches with the site, a bigger issue is how people on this site seem so entitled to the content someone else creates combined with the fact that so many people are eager and willing to jump on a content creator and call them a pedophile, abuser, abuse apologist, pedo apologist, racist, sexist, etc. They will talk about respecting a creators wishes and reblogging their work, respect and boundaries, etc. and the next they’ll be making fun of a creator for not wanting their work tagged as “kin” or anything else despite it making the creator uncomfortable. They talk about wanting LGBT+ and minority representation and then turn around and attack minority characters and creators for not being 100% pure little angels.
All this serves to do is to cause creators to basically be slaves (don’t get me wrong, you shouldn’t be afraid to listen to your fans and their requests but you shouldn’t feel obligated to do it) to their creation and become afraid to create because they don’t know which eggshell they’ll step on and break and get attacked over it.
Regardless of whether “It doesn’t happen much” or “It hasn’t happened to them.” it still happens. Even though Ive grown pretty numb to the usual tumblr buzzwords, even I feel reluctant and not inclined to post my works on tumblr or even deviantart because which wrong person with enough influence will see it and decide to basically ruin my reputaton? What incident is going to happen and cause people to suddenly hate it even if it was only a concept? How many fanartists (or hell even original creators) are going to get harassed, sent death threats, etc. and basically not be able to apologize or explain the situation enough? Even if it was something innocent? The fact that people who create triggering content either because they find it interesting or base it off of their own trauma and hardships aren’t allowed to do so because otherwise theyre “apologizing” or excusing it even when they correctly label it as triggering content? The fact that they’re putting themselves at the firing squad for not creating a perfect coffee shop story?
It’s why I consider this site to be unhealthy for content creation. The level of entitlement disuised as progressiveness can cause fear and reluctance for content creators.
