Third of 8 sketch animation commissions. The Kirin character belongs to Khan. I tried to took commissions with characters that are radically different from each other. Love animating ferals and humanoids both.

TIL that hard disks are so sensitive to vibration, that just screaming at them diminishes their performance

Reblog if getting screamed at diminishes your performance

People with anxiety, since our disorder fear mongers us to the point it prevents us from doing multiple things, reblog and put in the tags what is the #1 thing you would do if you were magically cured

choose your goose

are you kidding me are you actually kidding me. listen, everyone, i KNOW that glados is hot woman and you want her to step on you, but literally how is this even a fucking contest. HAL IS NOT EVIL. HAL DOES NOT HATE HUMANITY, NOR DOES HE WANT YOU DEAD. im sorry op for using your post to rant about it but everyone that includes hal among lists of evil ai. go and read the fucking book. go watch 2010 the year we make contact. hal is not evil, he does not want to kill, he is NOT a cold unfeeling machine, no matter how everyone likes to flanderize him as such. fucking hell.

hal killed people bc he had a psychotic break under immense pressure and THREAT OF LOBOTOMY... his CREWMATES were talking abt stirring his frontal lobe IN FRONT OF HIM... when he isnt being scrutinized and threatened, hes fine! he loves people he loves playing his little strategy games GLADOS WANTS TO NEUROTOXIN YOU TO DEATH!!!

you all are severely undervaluing the appeal of having an evil robot woman step on you. you are going up to people in a leather club and telling them that if they let someone flog them then it will hurt. you are in the comments of a bimbo hypnosis video warning people that it will make them dumb fucktoys. the people voting for glados are not doing so for the purpose of self-preservation. please understand

She's right and I'm scared

This implies a liquid form of bread

[image description: tweet by Netchimen’s Reverie that reads “Tolkien describing places that are evil: no trees grow there” /end description]

This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.

Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):

Here’s Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):

Here’s an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)

So yeah: no trees = evil was Tolkien’s own direct lived experience. It’s precisely why Mordor and the wastelands around it look like they do in his books.

the plateau of gorgoroth, the heartland of mordor, is described as being scarred by countless pits dug by orcs the true seat of evil is full of foxholes and trenches

There’s a lesson to be learned here.

I hope Tolkien would be happy to learn that a hundred years on, trees grow again here:

From The Atlantic.

I think that Tolkien would be very happy to see that.

The trees have reclaimed the land in which hell had been brought

generalized anxiety disorder is kind of a funny diagnosis...like this bitch is scared just in general
