do tumbleweeds actually blow around in the southwest or is that a myth…?

!!! They do!!!

Tumbleweed is actually an invasive species from Siberia. What happens is when the soil gets too dry the roots come out of the ground and the plant curls up into a ball so that it can blow to a new spot. When it comes into contact with wet soil its roots will unfold and it will settle down. 

That is ten times more fucked up than I thought. They plant themselves again? That’s neat. I always thought they were just dead leaves and twigs in a bunch.

I like this. Tumbleweeds just fuck off when they don’t like a place, they are not like other plants who have to respect your plant rules, they are rebels.

Hello new FOB fans!!

So apparently we’ve got a boatload of new fans joining our fandom due to the huge success of American Beauty/American Psycho. We are not going to be mean to them! We were all in their place at one point. Here’s a couple things you newbies should know: 

 - We are called Overcast Kids (original name from pre-hiatus) or Youngbloods (name adopted post-hiatus in Save Rock and Roll Era)

-If you want to see Patrick Stump without a fedora, you’re going to have to literally search up “Patrick Stump without a fedora.” 

- Joe is literally 300% cooler than any of us will ever be and we’re all perfectly fine with it 

- Andy never wears a shirt. If he’s wearing a shirt it’s because he’s probably on national television. If it were up to him, he would not wear a shirt. We all like Andy without a shirt. We all like Andy. 

- The first time you hear Andy’s voice you’re going to fall out of you chair, than fall in love with him. 

- Don’t ask what guyliner is. Please. We’re still trying to recover.

- We are part of what is called the emo trinity. 

-We periodically shove things up our asses. Don’t ask questions just join us.

woops i uploaded this now. no fucks are given.

A few months ago, I said on this blog that in my head PJO is an anime with a badass opening credits. I meant it quite literally, like I can actually picture this OP in my head, with all the shonen tropes like Percy walking around pretty backgrounds, cool fighting scenes with lots of camera movements and huge statues of the Gods standing ominously in the background, Nico standing in the rain till Reyna and Hazel and Jason come for him and a ray of sunshine breaks throught the clouds and light hits his hopeful face, GIMME ALL THE TROPES hahaha. Doing the whole opening would be impossible for a single person but I really wanted to try one big “shonen” group shot, so here you are !!! This actually took me AGES, I’m not kidding, the folder for this on my computer is named “batshit crazy ” for a reason, it may not look like it if you don’t know animation but a really huge amount of work went into this. I think it’s actually the biggest thing I ever did for a fandom. I can’t say how many hours I spent on it since I didn’t count, but let’s say I started this in September and spent a lot of week ends and most of my Christmas holidays on it, and I just finished it this week. I had a lot of fun though !!! And I learned a lot too, this was my first time trying to animate japanimation style, with not many in-betweens and ultra dynamic poses. So yeah, I hope you guys will like it !

I want to thank fimyuan and bisexualjason for keeping me motivated with their lovely comments through the project, even when I was complaining about my own decisions to animate friggin’ skeletons, hahaha. Another big thank you to my friend Wekake who went through the animation frame by frame and spotted all the little compositing mistakes that remained ;p

A few words on the process : I animated and colored everything in TV Paint, drew the background in Photoshop, and composited everything in After Effects. The song is an extract of the Yowapeda opening “Reclimb” by Rookiez is Punk’d because I wanted something very distinctively shonen but no lyrics, and I like that song ^^ I animated directly without any model sheet references which is definitely not how you should do it, hahaha, hence the design inconsistencies, but honestly even my madness had its limit and I didn’t want to spend more than a year on this thing ;p

aaand my life flashed before my eyes

THIS IS THE MOST NOSTALGIC POST EVER

I love that Aang’s favorite fighting style is nooooooope.

BEAR DETECTIVE PREMIERS THIS FALL

They can never bear to loose a case

No one, not even God, can tell what will happen to any of us. So, in case it’s necessary, I’m counting on you.

Glory, Ruin, Despair and Fear by Daniel Kamarudin

When you make an adult decision without calling your mother first.

when you realize your adult decision has unforeseen consequences:

I get so excited when people send me asks, like you could literally just send me one that says pancakes and I’d be so flattered that you took the time to send me that

I fucking hate this post so much. I always reblog it because I want messages but I always get TWENTY BILLION PANCAKES IN MY INBOX AND I DONT WANT PANCAKES ANYMORE
