hey friends…… i lost a few followers bc i was without wifi for a bit can i have a promo? i post su! (about)

hey i was lapiislazuli, i decided to remake so i made a promo thing

byf | basics | blacklist

i wanted to draw a scene a little after Stan gets his memories back. he still doesn’t remember everything, so they’re taking a walk and showing him around to help jog some memories

also i’ve seen this scene like 8 times and every single time it makes me cry. pretty much every part of the last 15 minutes makes me cry tbh

Guess I like Yellow Pearl way more than I realized, oops

one of the most adorable moments in the series

Beast boy and cyborg drop everything to make sure that Starfire is comfortable telling jokes. They don’t care that they missed the context, laugh along to make her comfortable, then proceed to make asses of themselves JUST so she can have a good laugh too and feel like she BELONGS.

And that is one of many examples of why the original teen titans series was seriously well fucking written as it showed a very HUMAN kind of emotion, feeling like you don’t fit in and watching a joke go wrong and people not finding you funny, then getting to laugh because the people you chose to open up to were caring enough to make fucking sure you felt like you belonged just for a bit.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Here’s a little doodle of a flustered nerd~

tbh it makes me so sad how many girls dismiss their attraction to women

I’m not gonna label anyone’s sexuality for them but if you have crushes on girls then you’re probably not straight 

because believe it or not there are women who never experience any attraction to women 

it’s not some tiny little thing that everyone experiences

of course that’s not a bad thing, but no, not everyone is “a little bi” etc.

and we are all taught that relationships between women are inherently inferior to hetero relationships - it often takes years to realize that what you feel could be genuine attraction rather than just curiosity or admiration

whether or not you choose to acknowledge that in the label you choose for yourself or how you pursue relationships is up to you 

but if you consistently finding yourself having crushes on women or being attracted to women - even if you remain adamant that you love and prefer men - you may want to look into the possibility that you’re not straight

How about we just let people be and realise labels don’t mean shit

Actually for some people having a label that fits provides a valuable sense of community and understanding 

And a lot of women never pursue relationships with women because they’re closeted and they never realize that their attraction to women is valid or good

I never said anybody has to label themselves or start identifying as not straight 

I’m just trying to help closeted women figure themselves out because when I was 13 reading something like this would have saved me a lot of suffering

Remember when Netflix and Tumblr didn’t exist and you read like 10 books a week? Good times.

Edwin and Daryl ! They probably got handcuffed by accident but rolled with it because LOVE.

I have no idea what a fresh hippy from the 90′s so I drew her in Pepper ann’s outfit instead. 

Mabel and Pacifica sitting in a tree~

For real this is my favorite ship, probably tied with Fiddleford/Stan. I love it when the hot gay and the dork gay are gay together

Five animated shorts for five female animation pioneers

 For this year’s Annency animation festival, the students at Gobelins made five 1-minute animations to honor five female animation pioneers.

They’re all phenomenal. If you have five minutes, please watch each of them. Warning: some hit HARD.

Mary Blair (1911-1978)

Worked for Ub Iwerks, MGM, and eventually Disney. Known for creating incredibly vibrant watercolors, which clashed with the studio aesthetic at the time. Disney eventually let her loose, and her aesthetic can be strongly seen in Cinderella, Peter Pan, and especially Alice in Wonderland.

Evelyn Lambart (1914-1999)

Hearing-impaired Canadian animator who worked with Norman McLaren on several pieces that the Canadian government would later declare masterworks. She directed her own films, making her one of the first women in animation to take the director’s chair. She was known for scratching up film stock to create “jazz” like patterns, the sort of thing you’d later see in Fantasia, Donald in Mathmagic Land, and the like.

Lotte Reininger (1899-1981)

German director who created the technique of silhouette animation, preceding Disney by 10 years. Started out making titles for movies and moved on to make her own animated feature, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, in 1926! As for the rest of her career, well - watch the short.

Claire Parker (1906-1981)

Created the “pinscreen” animation technique, where 240,000 tiny metal rods were manually manipulated in and out of a board in order to create an animation – think tweaking pixels by hand. She and she alone owned the patent on it.

Alison de Vere (1927-2001)

One of the first women to work in British animation, and was design director for The Yellow Submarine. She went on to create many animated shorts at a commercial studio, winning prizes for virtually almost every single one of them. She is often credited as Britain’s first female animation auteur. 

(much credit must go to cartoonbrew for posting about this in the first place - thanks, y’all!)
