Remember that episode of Beast Wars where Waspinator got possessed by the ghost of Starscream? That was wild

First promo of HexVets and Magic Pets is up!! This show has my whole heart. I’m so proud of the magic we all created together!!

I have a new picture book coming out in September, one that is very personal and means so much to me. Any librarians heading to Chicago for #ALAAC26 - you can stop by the Macmillan Booth #2525 to grab a galley of REBECCA. Words by me, art by the incomparable Sydney Smith. @mackidssl.bsky.social

Idk man. I'm very uninspired today (1/2) #hazbinhotel #charliemorningstar #hazbinvox

So does sofia the first but the kids aren’t complaining

The movie of the week is... Ammonite

Vox folding immediately #staticbelle #hazbinhotel

Caine’s arc can best be summed up as “You are enough”. He believed power would make him happy and make people love him; however, he had everything he needed the whole time, hence why the moon loves him. Without the Blue AI, he’s still fun, whimsical, and - his most redeeming quality - curious.

The moment that made me start sobbing when I read the script was the scene between Caine and the Moon. “You know, I never programmed you to say you loved me.” “I know.” This is my personal favourite scene in the show. We don’t have to be our worst moments - love is what makes us, what saves us.

A lot of my acting in 8 and 9 came from experience. I was channelling being bullied growing up, developing bad coping mechanisms, then being awful to my university housemates, the anguish of realizing I was hurting them and, ultimately, repairing the relationships I damaged.

I specifically played Caine a lot like myself when I was younger. I used to be overbearing with my special interests, and I struggled with empathy, social skills, and emotional regulation; this led to sadness, confusion, even anger as I wondered why I wasn’t clicking with people “properly”.

I think what we see of Caine in the ending is only the beginning of his growth into a better person; I can see him struggling with being insensitive along the way despite how hard he tries. Like how he initially had trouble building his staircase, old habits sometimes die hard.

I believe Caine’s capacity for empathy was always there; he is an AI, but he understood enough to make the empathetic and humanlike Gummigoo. Caine was just slower to it due to his ego being in the way. Plus since the main characters are technically also AI that can change and grow, why not?

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS! 💖

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!! ✊🏾❤️🖤💚 🎥: @blairimani.bsky.social

cool to see mass effect go from something so infamously convoluted to buy on PC that it required converting money into Bioware Points in order to buy each DLC individually to "hey right now you can get all three Mass Effect games and their DLCs for $4.79 on Steam"

StaticBelle, but make it a Silverbolt/Blackarachnia thing.

He is ready for the summer! He is ready for the hot nights

when you don't smoke but want to make your breaktime jolly you end up blowing bubbles but in an adult way

While I definitely lean towards softer and cuter Staticbelle, it bears remembering that Charlie is just as bananas as Vox is, and may have even more energy overall.

That'll shut him up #StaticBelle #Voxlie #HazbinHotelFanart

The 1991 documentary on New York City drag queen ball culture and their houses "Paris is Burning" is available on Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ7r...

Over at Ebert, I wrote about one of the most beautifully crafted and ambitious animated films in recent years: Cinema Fantasma's Soy Frankelda. The Ambriz Brothers are the real deal, offering up a stop motion picture that impressively folds Mexican art and culture into its fantastic worldbuilding.

"I Am Frankelda" is now streaming on Netflix.

Little art direction hopium for you, if the SGF left you feeling like too few beautiful things are happening

across different genres, looks, levels of budget- I think on the whole it's been an amazing era. Great taste & surprising original visual design have never been widespread, but the rarity is part of what makes it special when it finally arrives

A friend recently was reflecting that they felt art direction in games has gotten generally worse. I think it's a good use of our time & energy to celebrate the fact that while there are a lot of whiffs in the world today, the recent era has also seen some of the greatest of all time
