I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

Sometimes, sure, but why was Maid Marian a fox in Robin Hood? There wasn’t anything particularly “foxlike” about her personality, and it would make more sense for her to be a lion. They made her a fox only because Robin was a fox and making her something else would be “weird”, but I don’t think the wolf cop or the chicken maid or the lion prince were actually meant to represent race.

The best inter species couple is Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits in A Muppet Christmas Carol, because all their sons are frogs and all their daughters are pigs, as God clearly intended.

there are only two genders: frog and pig

I’ve pointed out to my friends that the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy’s kids are like that means either

1) they reproduce asexually and the children are clones of each parent OR

2) Kermit and Miss Piggy are members of the same sexually dimorphic species, hence the split between their male and female children

yes I have spent too long running about potential muppet biology

oh god

Third option, when they want kids they get some fabric and make one, and hope a Hand inhabits it

Do you think there’s a ritual for inviting An Inhabiting Hand to possess the empty husk of your muppet baby?

Recall that in The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie are brothers. And this was their dad (right):

Thank you for specifying, which one of the two individuals in the picture was the dad haha

I, for one, think Shrek handled interspecies coupling the best. By this I am of course talking about the Dronkeys.

In season 3 of BoJack Horseman, we learn Diane (middle) has been impregnated by Mr. Peanutbutter (left). The fetuses are confirmed to be puppies.

This is the worst addition to this post

I am reminded of Treasure Planet.

In which Captain Amelia (left), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic cat, had hybrid babies with Doctor Doppler (middle), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic dog, whom also gave birth to the babies

I always thought that in muppet movies like muppet Christmas Carol the characters are played by the muppets (so kermit is acting and playing the role of Bob rather than being him) so the kids in that film would just be other acting muppets right?

Or is that just something my brain made up?

Last time I saw this post (YESTERDAY) it stopped at the second Eggman

In Leo the Lion (2005) a lion and elephant have the most cursed hybrid children and I think yall should see them

(also Matt Mercer voices the villain, Maximus Elefante and I think that’s very important)

I can't believe Doppler and Amelia are canonically t4t! Good for them, good for them.

In Doctor Who, Thomas Kincade Brannigan (Catkind) and his wife Valerie (Human)...

(Ignore David Tennant)

Have children, and they are just LITERAL KITTENS.

A Christmas Carol never even says that Scrooge gives up anything at all, or even somehow stops being super-rich.  He just stops being a dick about it and starts using his wealth to help people.  Scrooge isn’t even written as an indictment of rich people, since plenty others appear in the story and are presented as perfectly nice people.  Scrooge is a miser.  He doesn’t even use his money to help himself, which is called out as the reason he dies within the year.  Learning to care for himself is just as much part of the Ghosts’ lessons as learning to care for other people.

how dare Charles Dickens, a man once sent to work in a factory at age 12 while his father was in debtors’ prison, inflict such Wokery upon us as “caring about the poor”

I saw a post about Blake's V1 outfit and how it doesn't represent her and I wanted to ramble about it :D

because it DOES represent her, but not in the way that people think. specifically what it represents is her relationship with Adam, how Adam sees her and how it feels to be objectified. It's pretty, it's cute, it makes her look like a doll, like an object. Adam doesn't truly care about Blake as a person, he is possessive of her the way a little child is possessive about its favorite toy

When Blake runs off to Menagerie, her outfit still represents that. It's Blake still feeling Adam's influence on her, wanting to hide away but being unable to. It's still sexualized, albeit not as much (even Ghira remarks on how much skin she's showing), and she's wearing a coat (often used to symbolize characters seeking shelter or a hiding place), but its one that she cannot close properly, symbolizing that Adam is still out there looking for her and that Blake doesn't feel safe yet.

She keeps this specific coat until V6, where she loses it once she stands up to Adam, symbolic for her choosing not to run, not to hide away anymore. It doesn't show up again after Adam dies, once her stalker and the person who objectified her for years has died at her hands.

That's also why the Atlas outfit is still "sexy". I'm putting this in parentheses because while yes, it's a bodysuit, it doesn't scream "ooga booga sexy female" to me? It covers her entire body and remember, they made it a point with Ghira that showing skin = objectified. Now she's covered, while still showing off what she has, so to speak.

And my favorite addition, the new coat.

Blake can close it all the way.

Blake feels safe now.

Nothing more irritating than when liberal Zionists claim to be non-Zionists. No, you explicitly said Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself. You accept Zionist propaganda about Palestinians. These have never been “non-Zionist” positions don’t lie to yourself and others.

You’re just a genocide apologist like the rest of them except you’re so cowardly as to retreat from the position while you advocate for it!

I don't know if you've seen the latest iteration of "tumblr is dying" but if you haven't, Automattic (owners of tumblr) have decided they will put the site into maintenance mode. This doesn't mean that tumblr will disappear, it just means that they'll keep the lights on and that's about it. They're taking the staff who have been working hard to try to make the site a success, and they're relocating those folks to other projects. A skeleton crew will remain on tumblr, keeping the site alive.

If we want tumblr to thrive, however, then we need to do something to support it - and that something is financial.

If you're someone who enjoys your time on tumblr and you're someone who has an entertainment budget, then consider visiting the TumblrMart and buying yourself a badge. Go ad-free. Choose the new option that I just discovered which is "Support tumblr" - that's the shiny t badge I now have that will change colour over time for the longer I subscribe.

This doesn't require every single user to pay for tumblr. Far from it. Just look at AO3 as the example. Time after time, they hit their fundraising goals and beyond, and I don't think they've ever had more than 10K individual donors for a userbase of something like 5 million.

I've been on this site for a decade. It's the only social media I actually like. I think the internet would be worse off if tumblr wasn't around. I'm going to pay what I can to keep this community around, and I'm going to encourage others to do the same.

If that's something you don't want to see, then feel free to block the tag subsidize tumblr that I'll use on posts like that. If you're open to the idea, then expect the occasional post from me on the subject.

Fandom has lost enough homes in my lifetime. If I can do anything to keep this one around, I will.

Rare Pair (or more) week.

Trying to gauge interest. Would anyone be interested in a rare pair (or more) week.

Rare pair being denoted by the stories on AO3 ergo Whiterose is not a rare pair but frosensteel is.

Bumbleby is not but Blaked Alaska is etc.

Arkos is not but Knightlight is.

Generally just a week for everyone to toss their goobers into without a zillion weeks clogging everything up leaving people struggling to find a week to fit it and I figured rare pair week would be more exciting for people than me making Death's Whiterose week lol.

There would be more rules and what not and exact specifics about what constitutes rare but I'm on the phone so I'm just trying to see what the interest level is.

Feel free to comment on what pair you'd be willing to write or might want to see.

it’s been literally over a month since i finished this but hey!!! better late than uh never right @rwbytarotproject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right….

it took a LOT of bouncing around for ideas but for The Tower i really had to go for the fall of the CCT. the tower represents sudden, disruptive, revelation, and potentially destructive change, which is a VERY fun thing to draw wrt: cinder oh boy oh boy. this is cinder, standing before her perfect victory, at the height of her power and the crux of her greatest plan… shame things went wrong, hence the scorchmarks in the card itself, damaging the vision she’d had of her own success. better luck next time, cinder. or, never.

there’s a ton of amazing artists on this project who are just scary talented, so you should check out their stuff!!!!!!!!!
