Good motherfucking god

Splatoon Rainbow War (1985)

the full video doesn't seem to be available anywhere online so i uploaded it to a google drive here

Rainbow War! My family and I watched this at the 1986 World's Fair in Vancouver when I was a wee little toon. Thank you for putting it up for download, OP - I'm looking forward to rewatching it as an adult. I wonder how well it'll hold up.

(Though even this short clip is reminding me how well this movie did at conveying a story without any dialogue.)

nothing beats the feeling of finally checking out a classic piece of media you've heard about thousands of times & after you're done you're just like "damn, they weren't lying"

some of you have a very different definition of "classic" than me

by classic i mean like, a crystalized relic of the canon that is referenced so much by everyone that it stops feeling like a work of art & more like a figure of speech, the feeling im describing is of witnessing the crystallized meme become art again. its more than just finding out something "lives up to the hype" its actually having that century defining experience directly impact your soul when thus far it has only been an abstract point of reference

"witnessing the crystallized meme become art again" absolutely. This was my experience in watching Casablanca.

(Among many other things, I was floored by just realizing what "round up the usual suspects" actually means in context.)

An animatic for the track “Everything About You” from Groundhog Day the musical. Proud of this one. And it didn’t even take me two years!

Keep reading

I maaaay have recently fallen headlong in love with this musical, largely thanks to this person [points up] who put it into my life. Mwah.

i dont care how corny iris by the goo goo dolls is bc i love iris by the goo goo dolls and i will continue screaming iris by the goo goo dolls from the top of my lungs every time i hear iris by the goo goo dolls for the rest of my miserable life 

I hesitated to reblog this to express my heartfelt agreement, because then all my followers would see it

and i don’t think that they’d understand

I only hate so much that it’s associated with such a horrible rip-off film that never should have been made.

@animatedamerican I respect the moment of truth in your lies

@lokis-lil-queen good to know that you feel me somehow

and I know what you mean @chokeanddagger, i guess that's the problem when everything feels like the movies

Today is the book birthday of SLEEP NO MORE, the 17th October Daye book and the 16th dingbat that I have designed (spring 2018 unfortunately involved in unexpected medically induced coma, which is why I never had the opportunity to design a book specific illustration for NIGHT AND SILENCE) and I am not going to lie to you THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE.

The original design which I'm including below unfortunately proved two complex for printing which is something that often happens with vector art, and so it was simplified. But I've also included the original unbroken mirror, which is inspired by a mutual foundational fandom that Seanan and I share, and so it's a little Easter egg that brings me a lot of joy.

Me looking at this design: hmmm there's something familiar about it, but I can't quite --

Me rereading the last paragraph of this post and seeing "mutual foundational fandom": wait a second

Made these about a month ago, figured other spoonies might want to use them

There are a lot of people I really should send the first one and the last one to. Maybe the second one too.

Holy shit twelve poll options now???

(goyim this poll isn't for you)

New honey!

Shana tova to all my people! Have a poll to bring in the new year.

(why is apple-and-honey not here)

I know most of my followers are into xenofiction, so PLEASE reblog so this breaks containment, especially if you saw this in the tags and/or aren't following me

another question that gets me is… would u be friends with your parents if they were your not your parents/ were the age you are now?? hard to tell bc who knows what they were really like at 20 something but….. we wonder. and we wonder and wonder. 

god but I wonder. not about my parents when they were in their teens or twenties and me when I was in my teens or twenties, but my parents when they were in their mid-forties, which is the age I am now.

I remember them at this age, is the thing. Just into or just out of their two-year educational fellowship, just moved to New York and getting teaching jobs here. I remember them from the perspective of their teenage kid, and I wonder whether the adult I am now could have been friends with them, and I genuinely don't know.

so if we follow blood of eden naming conventions, your name should be:

'Line from A Shakespeare Play' + 'Line Your National Anthem' + 'Line from... any song from the early 2000s???'

so i would be

If You Have Tears Prepare To Shed Them Now In Full Glory Okay Now Ladies

and i'm okay with that

Everyone only refer to me as "Beware the Ides of March und Recht und Freiheit eat you like your heart's a pomegranate" or "Ides" from now on thank you very much

I went with "Surely some revelation is at hand In joyful strains then let us sing For your dream! For your faith! For your life!"

Or Surely, for short, I suppose. My favourite part of BoE names is all the room for activities. You basically have fodder for twenty different nicknames depending on who is giving one to you.

It was hard picking a song but Babymetal won out over Taylor Swift on sheer tonal whiplash.

"What wound did ever heal but by degrees where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes and I still taste it on my tongue."

But my buddies call me Silence (I'm shy)

“Better To Be Eaten to Death With Rust Than to be Scoured to Nothing With Perpetual Motion O Say Can You See What’s Cooler Than Being Cool (Ice Cold)

Call me Rusty

I managed to piece together "And In That Heart Courage To Make Love Known On The Shore Dimly Seen Your Memory Will Carry On"

Which is delightful on an extremely meta level, actually. Also you can call me Will.

hmm ... I'm gonna go with "If We Shadows Have Offended By The Twilight's Last Gleaming Can I Make It Any More Obvious." Because I feel like there's really gotta be a jarring tonal shift. Call me Shadow I guess?

... my god, that's brilliant.

No shade but Sebastian is the only DA2 character I would trust with a small child.

You know those memes that look like educational pamphlets on what to do and not do with a baby. Imagine Sebastian is doing all the right ones treating it like an actual baby and everyone else is like … taking baby to the bar, playing cards with the baby, trying to feed it a chicken leg.

“What about Aveline,” being an adult woman does not inherently make a person more or less motherly or caring, I stand by my original statement. The baby would not be in any danger, granted, but would not get any enrichment. She would probably make the baby get a job or something, but then not provide the baby with any employment resources.

Aveline: Would not put the child in any danger but wouldn't really know what to do. Offers any guardsman a bonus if they have ever successfully raised a child and would be willing to temporarily look after this one.

Varric: Also inclined to outsource/subcontract; sliiightly less choosy about his subcontractors than one might like.

Bethany: Makes sparkly magic lights to entertain the baby. Has no idea what else to do.

Carver: Thinks taking care of a baby should be about the same as taking care of a puppy. Doesn't see what's wrong with this.

Isabela: Gives the baby hard liquor to make it fall asleep. Doesn't see what's wrong with this.

Fenris: Viscerally horrified at the mere idea. Has no idea what to do with a baby and knows it, which puts him ahead of Carver.

Merrill: Actually not bad at it. She's definitely babysat before.

Anders: Also not bad, right up until the baby cries and he can't figure out what's wrong and panics because he can't make it right.

Who’s the chaotic evil guy?

I think it’s the one who makes jungle juice out of 5,734 kinds of liquor, a bunch of sliced fruit, and bags and bags of fruit-flavored candies? This guy.

I'm sorry, the Glam Kitchen demigoddess is definitely Chaotic Neutral
