Dear tumblr consider this

This is now on my always reblog list

if ur reading this rn, this is ur reminder to drink water hoe. ur skin and ur piss will look amazing. 

where is the lie though?

It’s a lie of omission.

You’re comparing highly polished mainstream examples of iconic Japanese media to low budget, indie, and amateur american works. If you wanted to be fair the second image should look more like this:

The cultural exchange between American and Japanese art, particularly in animation, is hardly a one way streak.

Here we have Panty and Stocking, which boasts an artistic style that draws heavily upon modern western animation with it’s hard outlines and comical proportions. Shows like Dexter’s Laboratory barrow dynamic posses, dramatic framing, and highly expressive faces form anime and manga. Early anime and manga developed it’s distinct big eyes and childlike features by taking cues from western animation of the 20′s and 30′s

Betty Boop, in particular, was immensely popular in Japan. Her creators even made this short in appreciation of her Japanese fan-base.

WAIT I CAN ADD TO THIS ALREADY OBSCENELY LONG POST.

The entire Magical Girl genre is a big example of Western (primarily U.S.) and Japanese cultural exchange!

BeWitched (which was inspired by the 1940′s American movie “I Married a Witch”) was incredibly popular with young girls! This prompted the creation of the first popular Magical Girl Sally the Witch.

When the “Little Witch” Subgenre was big in the 70s the U.S. countered with animated Sabrina (from the Archie comics) which followed the same formula albeit with an older girl.

The 80s we start seeing more “flash of light” henshins/transformations being utilized along with the rise of the “Magical Idol” sub-genre in Japan it gave birth to shows like Creamy Mami and Magical Emi, in the U.S. it made way for Jem and the Holograms and She-Re Princess of Power (not a magical idol but still uses “flash of light” transformations). Jem was even a collab with U.S. doing the writing and Japan doing the animation!

The “Magical Warrior” sub-genre emerges in the 90s (even tho it has roots in the 70s with shows like Cutie Honey). This doesn’t catch on in America until the early 00′s with Atomic Betty (Canadian creation) and The Life and Times of Juniper Lee but we did see the start of it with the Canadian/Argentinian collab called Cyber Six. We also get W.I.T.C.H. and WINX Club in the early 00s from Italy which are both probably the most heavily influenced from Japan’s then current MG show structure.

Today we have Steven Universe, Bee and Puppycat, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Lolirock, The Miraculous Ladybug, and if it gets picked up Twelve Forever which are all great Western MG shows that are influenced by Japan!

I could go on, I haven’t even scraped the ice berg on this! I have a whole hour panel I run on this subject called “Magical Girls from Around The World”

The point is the Magical Girl genre- and tbh animation in general- has been Japan and America (with some other Western countries thrown in) talking back and forth since the 60s. I leave you with probably the most direct influence:

can I add to this that Osamu Tezuka aka “the God of modern Manga”

was inspired by Bambi 

into deciding to give big eyes to his drawings so that they would look more expresive. He also remained a big fan of a certain Jewish American animator until his death, oh yeah this guy

Walt Disney himself was also intrested in Tezuka’s work, with Astroboy being one of his favorites. A similar case exists now between John Lasseter (Pixar and Disney fame) and Hayao Miyasaki (Studio Ghibli) who are big fans of each other’s work.

Japan and America are less of a competition to those who work on it and more of an inspiration, it is very often the fans and not the creators who create rivalries between people that would be friends in real life.

OMFG! I never saw that Betty Boop short :D

WHAT THE FUCK??!!!

Male victims of domestic abuse have a 47% chance to be threatened by police, 35% of being completely ignored, and a 21% chance of being arrested themselves.

Of the abused men who called domestic violence hotlines, 64% were told that they “only helped women.” In 32% of the cases, the abused men were referred to batterers’ programs. Another 25% were given a phone number to call that turned out to be a batterers’ program. A little over a quarter of them were given a reference to a local program that helped. Sixteen percent said the people at the hot line “dismissed or made fun of them.”

If anyone wonders why men don’t report being abused, maybe its because the only number they have to get “help” is the same number that’s going to tell them they’re the abusive one. 

i can’t have jalapeno stuff without thinking about an embarrassing moment that happened to me. 

My dad likes to have BBQs like at least 3 every two weeks and he always invites his work friends (and these are construction type guys) and they are all about the BBQ and beer. Well I remember them all sitting outside next to the BBQ pit and they are talking about work having their beers and my dad yells for me to come outside and he’s like “Savanna, sweetie, can you get me the jalapeno sauce from the fridge” and I go in there and I’m like wtf there’s no ‘jalapeno’ sauce there’s just A1 and some other sauces and I go back and I’m like “there’s no jalapeno sauce just A1 and stuff” and he’s like “Go check again it’s the green bottle” and I go back and sure enough there’s the green bottle and I take it to him and I’m like “Dad there’s no jalapeno sauce just “GEL LAPINO sauce”. GELLAPINO. For whatever reason I read it as GELLAPINO. I was just standing there at the top of the steps holding this fucking bottle of sauce and my dad and his buddies start laughing and I was explained that it was pronounced  Ha-La-Pen-yo and I didn’t go outside for the rest of the day until everyone left I didn’t even want to go out and get my plate of food I just stayed in my bedroom and played bloodrayne.

“Hey, what are you drawing? Can I see i–”

mentally crafting incredibly angry speeches that i will never say to all the people i hate is my favorite hobby
