Back in the old days of DeviantART, I'd dedicate a day to comment on new artists I found. Finding new faves, giving thoughtful insight on works I enjoyed, encouraging others. The current artist website landscape doesn't feel as welcoming for that, and I'm really missing it.

A post and friendly reminder from last year.

The OG 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' actors are calling for the upcoming movie to be released in theaters after it leaked "Paramount has my nickel [already], so I skimmed it ... Release it in theaters ... it's really spectacular. The artwork is gorgeous" — Ty Lee actress Olivia Hack (via Collider)

Preach it louder. The fact that people have gone on to genuinely harass animators, writers, and let alone belittle Disney and spread all of this parasocial toxicity is genuinely disgusting to witness everyday.

Another thing that a LOT of people don't (or refuse to) understand is that corpos like Disney and Paramount are TOP BIG to effectively boycott. As what Ben here said, they own way too much and a lot of their products are aimed at kids, who like wouldn't know or care about boycotts to begin with.

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

Having online friends is being in a dozen different discord servers with varying combinations of the same 25ish people.

come on man.

genuinely was my first thought when i saw this (sonic was the second)

When I forget I was cursed with instant testicular torsion after vocalizing numbers of memetic significance

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Tim Curry was a man blessed with a PERFECT villain voice

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

This was worth it

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

It's a shame certain people have such a blood lust nowadays that they see a movie about the need to find other solutions to solve a problem and promoting co-existence with each other (since, after all, we're all on this planet together), yet come away with "no, the animals should squish the humans."

Checked my bank to see how much money is there for my therapy session on Thursday....I have $69 currently I'd love to go "nice" but like...damn xD

As much as I love tragic villains or villains with redemption arcs, there needs to be more villains who are just evil for the love of the game.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Honestly, I'm at the point now where announcements of live-action/photo-real remakes of animated films don't get much of a reaction from me. They don't erase the existence of the original movies and Universal and Disney, in particular, release multiple animated films per year.

I cannot overstate how profoundly influential Space Ghost Coast to Coast was on my being. When I was a sullen teenager, it was Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and The X-Files that gave me a window into a weird world into which a weird kid like me would someday fit.

Kinda tired of this now 🫩

Furries on this site are always like "Ummm, that's Copoganda sweetie" whenever someone draws Judy Hopps like anyone's drawing her in support of the police state and not because they like Fat Bunny Ass

It's the same logic people have when they think applying nuance to a story about rape means you *condone* rape. That's just ONE example. In fact, I remember when "Across the Spider-Verse" was released, people were accusing the film of being "copaganda" simply because it had police characters in it.

“We should empower and champion our women, as men. That’s what real masculinity looks like.” — Dwayne Johnson at #CinemaCon.

Heh. Okay, I'm more than appreciating Toy Story 5 making potshots at doomscrollers.

Well now I'm DEFINITELY questioning the whole "We can't have movies that promote girl power" bullshit from last week if they were willing to change it from a mother/son story to a mother/daughter story. Either way, I'm hoping this'll turn out interesting.

Changing this from a mother/son story to a mother/daughter story now makes me even more doubtful that Disney execs cancelled Be Fri, "because of girl power." In any case, what's been revealed of the plot has me intrigued.

A new study from UC Santa Barbara shows that watching experimental animation expands creativity and opens new ways of seeing the world. #Animation #ExperimentalAnimation #MentalHealth #BrainRot

Walt Disney Animation Studios has revealed a new logo for Hexed, and has revealed that both Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones will voice the main characters in the film. Definitely a surprise considering they initally revealed this as a mother/son story, but I'm intriguied.

I always hear people talk when BlueSky "shits the bed" but this was the first time actually experiencing it for myself.

Honestly though, this is more an issue with the audience than the creators. Indie animators make weird, expermental stuff all the time on the internet, but people still favor the fanciest, most polished works, which are more expensive to make.

I think indie animation is still stuck in the "we need to be as good as mainstream animation" mindset considering how all the big name indie projects are less experimental than Adult Swim.

Artists! Show what built your style!
