Hello all and welcome to the ultimate face-off for all your favorite fire-associated characters!

RULES!

1. Character must have some sort of association or affinity towards fire.

2. Fictional characters only! This means no real people, and no personas (e.g. dsmp characters).

3. Submit as many characters as you want, but only submit a character once, and only submit one character at a time.

4. Characters won't be chosen purely based off of the number of submissions. The final decision will come down to the mods and how well we think the character fits.

Rules are subject to change because I'm sure I'm definitely over-looking something right now.

Submissions will close sometime in mid-May. Exact time is TBD.

Yo! Go check out this tournament I'm trying to run

People love consuming the arts, but many hate the training required to create the arts. Not every art degree is created equal, but the connections you make and the experience you gain can be invaluable.

I'm not saying every artist needs a college degree for every aspect of creating art, but art is not always created solely by performers.

Perhaps there is an actor who was self taught and got a lucky break, but the cinematographer capturing that actor needed years of training. They are literally camera scientists AND visual artists.

Maybe that punk band you love only knows four chords and just screams into a microphone, but the sound engineer recording their music probably has a college degree.

Here is a video of the sound engineer for a Hamilton production.

He uses an amazing blend of technical and artistic skills to make sure the show sounds perfect during every performance.

Check out his college degree...

Any other theater nerds in the house?

And the thing is, a degree doesn’t even have to be relevant to worthwhile. In early ‘90s (33mhz computers were fast!) I was working on a BFA (fine arts) when I got into 3D rendering, figured out how to hijack school’s new Mac lab and turn it into a distributed render farm. 30 years later I’m running super computers at a major laboratory. (only paid off school loans in 2020)

I’m all for loan forgiveness so folks aren’t dragging around a fucking millstone for rest of lives. Actually, 4 yr college should be free but wtf do I know?

SCHOLASTIC MAGAZINE???

Not only has Goncharov broken containment but it's now fully immortalized in print. Fantastic work everyone.

Reblogging again because the art is spectacular. 10/10.

Your daily dose of cat memes! Happy Pride Month

today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy

Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats. 

My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.

And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away 😭

the most underrated thing about the ghibli movies is how deeply they are love stories to working people, to the small folk, to moments of love and kindness. its not just about magic, many movies are about magic and fairytales. Its not only about the people in the stories, but about stories in the people. And they are just loveable.

bro has that 1000 yard fluoride autism stare but in a way that communicates that he jerks off to gore blogs

happy pride!

I laughed so fucking hard at this

Seeing this come up on my dash was like being at a big family party where someone starts telling one of those family stories that’s still funny even though you could recite it along with the person it actually happened to, so everyone starts laughing before they even get to the funny part.

What do you think freedom means, Earl?

Animal welfare = a science based approach to the needs of animals, taking the needs and behaviour of different species into account and ensuring they are treated humanely and cared for in ways that allow them to live good lives

Animal rights = an emotional approach based on the feelings of individuals who do not necessarily understand the animals they are advocating for, who often group all species needs and behaviours as one and who may end up causing more suffering to animals through failing to understand their actual needs. 

I think people online are too invested in pride flags and make a big fuss over nothing. I also will defend the bear flag with my fucking life.
