I had no idea giant porcupines made fucking precious sounds
THAT’S THE SOUND IT MAKES!?!?!?
UN-BE-FUCKING-LIEVABLE
We got asked if this is cute and okay. I can very happily say yes, this is stupid cute and those are happy porcupine noises.
One of my favorite things about doing zoo work was all the noises you never realize the animals make when they’re excited or interested in a new thing. Coatimundis squeak and snuffle, and giant porcupines make that sound.
Omgggg the sounds.

[ID: a short, simply animated video set to the song skeletons! by DomFear.
The song lyrics say “Hot dog, french fries, come on baby, tell me your lies. Up, down, side to side, these skeletons are now alive!” followed by scat singing.
The video shows an image of a hot dog, french fries, and the written lyrics “come on baby tell me your lies” at the appropriate line. Skeletal hands point up, down, and side to side, followed by written lyrics for “these skeletons are now alive!” Three skeletons dance to the scat singing until the end of the video.
End ID.]

I'm not sure if you were around back then and remember but
Was there a big controversy or discussion about Lady Dragons original design?
It was allegedly changed?
Is that just a persistent rumor is is this true?
I vaguely remember this? I think it had to do with her hair color.
I can't resist. I collect too many concepts to not say anything. So originally her hair color was blonde. They changed this real quickly due to the vocal outrage the fandom had. I also believe part of the reason to change her hair color from blonde to red was to reference her original concept design which had red hair. The renlings were also originally going to have green hair but that was also quickly scrapped due to public outrage. What a shame. Would have loved to see jade green hair on the renlings but that's just the art nerd in me loving the complimentary color aspect and the contrast. I get the distaste, however. I still do wish they had that third color to really break up their design, even if it wasn't green. Also, fun fact, there was a very period of time where Lady Dragon had green hair however she was never released in full detail with green hair because of the backlash with the renlings. I wonder if the yellow hair with a near green tint was just them quickly fixing it because the fans hated the green on the renlings so much, not really realizing that it made kind of an ugly yellow. However, that's a theory, and most likely not true. There's no way for us to really know. However, green haired Lady Dragon made a very brief and small appearance in a small line up of Zagtoon's most popular characters and character concepts at the time. This included Ladybug, Chat Noir, Miss Rose, Rapunzel of Fairyon, Pixigirl, Melody, the Ghost Force team, Lady Butterfly, Carapace, what looks to maybe be Queen Bee, and the characters for the scrapped show Moonlight Hunters in the far back, just barely silhouettes.

Speaking of other topics.
I found one of my absolute favorite shows of all time on complete accident. It's all thanks to Drew Gooden and IDOLiSH7 (also a very good show).
IDOLiSH7 is a very nice feel-good idol anime. I adore it. It makes me unreasonably happy. It's based on a game of the same name that happens to be a rhythm game. They even have official music videos of their songs which I immediately found every single one of and watched them.
Then less than a month ago I finally watched that Drew Gooden video about Guitar Hero. I have never once played Guitar Hero and I barely watch Drew Gooden because I have like an endless list of YouTuber's I'm subscribed to that I just cycle through so this was at random.
But I guess watching that one video about Guitar Hero onto of all those IDOLiSH7 music videos had the YouTube algorithm go "Hmmm... she must really like rhythm games" and it recommended me one rhythm game based YouTube video. It immediately gave up on showing me anymore afterwards because I guess it realized I don't actually care too much about them. I just really like music.
But luckily this one video had this absolute banger of a song that someone had put into the rhythm game and tried to match the game to the beat. I freaking adored this song but it didn't give the name of the artist, just the title of the song so I told myself I'd like the video and then look into it later.
I completely forgot about it until a week later where I was looking through my liked songs on YouTube Music and saw one with a thumbnail of two animesque boys. I literally could not remember what this video was so I clicked it and then I saw it was that rhythm game. But I wondered why on earth these two dudes were the thumbnail when they were absolutely no where in the video.
So that song was Dive Back in Time from the first opening of the donghua, Link Click. I looked it up, saw that the same two anime-like dudes were on the album cover and thought to myself, "Huh, is this like a game or something?" The song was completely in English which threw me through a loop.
So I looked up Link Click, realized it was a donghua, then immediately looked up the opening this song was attached to because I figured based on the song title it had to be something about time travel.
Here's a fun fact about me... I absolutely adore time travel for a story narrative. It's so fun. But good time travel content is extremely hard to find because apparently it's super easy for people to absolutely screw up this amazingly creative and fun premise.
With that being said, I was willing to do just about anything to figure out if this was not only a time travel show but a good time travel show. So I watched the season 1 opening and it gave me absolutely no clues whatsoever. Absurdly unhelpful without context.
Yeah, I turned to wikipedia for the answers. And yes, it was about time travel and the premise sounded so gosh darn amazing. Here's the wikipedia synopsis;
After finding this I realized there was apparently a season 2 so out of pure curiosity I looked up the season 2 opening. It's called VORTEX. Amazing. If nothing else this show would be full of gorgeous animation and breath-taking music.
I immediately hit up @koo1creations. She is also an avid enjoyer of some good time travel stories and she also adores sci-fi which time travel stories tend to fall under so we were hyped. We also both took the same short animation course when we were young so we absolutely adore animation and we both adore music. This show looked like an absolute winner.
So like fools, Monday night we started Link Click fully intending to stop at like 4 episodes. Ha. Nope, absolutely not. We loved it too much, we binged the whole first season. Tuesday night we binged what was out of season 2. Thankfully for us there was only 2 episodes left of season 2 to be released as soon as we finished it.
I cannot begin to give this show the praise it deserves. Season 1 is still the best so far, I'd say. But season 2 is still very good. It's such a fun show full of twists and turns. It really makes you think and it's full of nuances. The animation and style is gorgeous, the music is amazing, the characters are intriguing, and the story is addicting.
So thank you Drew Gooden and IDOLiSH7 for like my new number 1 favorite show. Gotta be the best way I have ever actually found anything I liked. I have had many times where I had quite a few hoops I had to jump through to find another thing I liked but this one takes the cake.
Tired of posting Miraculous, gonna do my very best to limit it to just supporting others in the fandom and my own fan art. Like, Adrien and Marinette are way too fun to draw for me. I'm sorry. I don't know why but they're like my default characters draw, especially Marinette. She's fun shaped. This whole blog started as Sonic fan blog, okay. And then it like switched to Miraculous one year into it's run and I haven't shut up since. It's time to give this a break. Oh the dream will be to share other things I am actually into and don't have this weird love/hate relationship with like most Miraculous fans on this website honestly. I get very giddy seeing a mostly Miraculous Tumblr talk about other things that intrigue them. It's fun to see how different we all are. That being said, I would love to expand to other things more frequently so here's giving it a try. Hope that hyper fixation of mine can calm down for five seconds. Because, believe it or not, I am into other things... Shocking, I know. Wish me luck!
Someday I'll clean this up but finally decided to make a colored version of that outfit I always put Adrien in. I'll probably change a few colors later but right now this is good enough. In any case this is my first addition to the series of "drawing Adrien like an actual model in different outfits" that I plan on doing but perhaps not sticking to a regular schedule because I suck at that. The others will come when they come. It's still great to draw again and make really messy art. Ugh, how I missed it. This outfit is heavily inspired by one of Kiro's outfits from Mr Love: Queen's Choice.
Been waiting literal years to draw something like this for literally any Citizen Solider song lyric because pretty much all their songs remind me of Adrien/Chat. Like I have just been biding my time waiting until I'm "good enough" and I realized that just ain't happening so insecurity be damned, I sketched something up. It's messy, it's flawed, and I love it. Story behind this scene is kind of up to your interpretation I guess. I have my own but it would be curious to see what others think. The lyric is the last line in the Citizen Soldier song Who I Am. Man I haven't drawn in forever. Feels great. Missed this.
september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone
Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.
His dad is dead, just don’t.
In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.
He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.
It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.
reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.
Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.
When people pause an animated tv show during movement and say ‘eew why does it look like shit’
I’M COMING INTO YOUR HOUSE WITH A POWER POINT PRESENTATION ABOUT SMEAR FRAMES TO SHOW YOU AFTER I WHACK YOU WITH A STICK
When people zoom in on a character in the background ‘eww why do they look like that. L this animated TV show is so low quality and bad’
I’M IN YOUR FLOOR BOARDS AND CLIMBING IN ABOUT TO TELL YOU ABOUT A THING CALLED ‘WHY FUCKING BOTHER TO DRAW A CHARACTER WHOSE 3 PIXELS WIDE CORRECTLY ON SCREEN YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO ZOOM IN AND IF YOU ZOOM OUT YOU’LL SEE EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE’
You guys all know you can respond to non-anon asks privately, right?
Here's where it is on desktop, you access it via the little arrow besides "post now"
Here's where it is on mobile, you find it under the 3 dots besides "post"
I don't wanna spend money blazing this so if y'all can just reblog this to spread the word that'd be great.
I use to think people are just answering charged asks publically cause they are down to fight, and then I clued in some people literally don't know you can answer privately anymore cause the option changed places.
this is for those who despair over seeing ships or tropes that make them uncomfortable while they do their little scrolly-scroll on ao3, acting like they aren’t responsible for their own internet experience
(alternatively, the back button also works)
man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.
I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"
it's just... lonely and sucks bad.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.
-Psalm 63:3
The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken away from evil.
