random noise to let you know I love u

I thought she was supposed to say things that aren't true?

I made a joke about Lucifer showing up in 10 inch platform heels the next time he knows he's going to see Alastor and immediately rolling his ankle so I drew it lol.

maybe the point of life is having fun and playing

Hey… so I’ve seen this pic get reposted so many times here and elsewhere over the years, but never with proper credits.

Can I get a source on the artist finally? I collect things like this and really want to see the rest of their work and credit them, this is beautiful.

Nevermind I just found them: SeaStainedGlass on Etsy

They do other glass art too, but I am partial to these kitties 😊

Suggestion for a new saying:

"If the devil's gonna fuck you anyway, might as well grab a condom."

There is no situation so bad or hopeless, that it wouldn't be a good idea to do at least a little bit of some sort of harm reduction or damage control.

Consider:

You died with a remarkable fortune and no heirs. You grant your wealth to two rivalling schools in the same city, under one condition: One of them must always keep your preserved skull. They may keep it on display (therefore attracting interest and potentially fame to the school) but that always raises the risk of students of the other school stealing it. The students and staff of the other school have not only the right, but the duty to do so at any opportunity. Nobody can be arrested for this unless they're caught breaking some other law.

Ideally, the students of the two schools keep stealing your skull, back and forth, forever. The culture of both of the schools is enriched by this activity, the students are too busy engaged in these harmless shenanigans to drift into worse habits and behaviours, and you get to be included in countless nonsensically frivolous heist operations whose sole purpose is to bring more fun into the world.

For those who wondered if this a referencing something: I had never heard of Jeremy Bentham before someone mentioned the name in my notes. The fuck you mean that someone actually did this.

actually kind of ticks me off a little because this is an excellent example of what is probably my favorite editing technique, Match Cutting

Note how the Tom and Jerry footage cuts right on the impact frame, going strait to the impact in the anime footage, and how care is taken to maintain the same direction of the momentum in both, creating a feeling of connection between the sources, even when the quality of video and styles of animation couldn't be more different.

This is a technique that happens all the time in filmmaking, one of my favorite examples is this scene from the Kingdom Hearts 2 opening, which is recapping events from Chain of Memories, cleverly using match cutting to show two important fights that happened at about the same time as each other.

And going back to the original video, not only is it satisfying to look at, but it also (albeit probably unintentionally) illustrates the ways in which western and eastern animation have basically always been in conversation with each other. Classic Tom and Jerry is (at least in my opinion) the pinnacle of slapstick comedy, with it's excellent animation capable of selling punchy and hilarious impacts. Take this shot for example:

A slow build up, as Tom shaves the log down into a bat, followed by a sudden impact on the dog. It works because it starts slow, and hits fast, and that is the basis of all slapstick comedy. And the wonderful thing about slapstick is that unlike other forms of comedy, like puns or observational humor, it requires no translation. Tom and Jerry in particular almost always depicts a David and Goliath struggle, a clever underdog against a large and powerful opponent, which is relatable and understandable to all audiences, and easily localized due to the shorts having little to no dialogue, thus explaining why the series is beloved throughout the world. It's been referenced in manga and anime from Stardust Crusaders to Fruits Basket!

And that brings us back to Anime. Slapstick is a huge part of the humor in tons of series, to the point where it even bleeds into some of it's tropes. Just think of one of the classics, a character finds himself in a compromising situation with one of the girls, and what happens as a result? (for some reason this outdated meme was the best example I could find as an isolated clip im so sorry)

This scene from the same series is practically a slapstick sketch in and of itself:

And of course, that same level of power initially developed for comedy proved itself highly effective for action, and nowadays anime action scenes are well known for their moments of high impact, utilizing the same animation techniques

tl;dr: Without even meaning to, by tying together the western slapstick comedy of the past and the eastern action sequences of the present, this meme edit is a celebration of how far we've come. And that's pretty cool.
