It's all right here 👆 The whole history.
Not sure about a background yet but these two have their color! Also, I wanted to rough sketch a gundam head~
Wait a second, am I tripping balls?
HELP I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING
Sometimes life is just beautiful.
May you never be forgotten, magical forest accordion man
He’s playing the Lost Woods song from Zelda that’s the important part
Thank you for making real life a little more surreal

if i had seen the transition from sepia to color in wizard of oz in 1939 i would have lost my shit i would've started screaming in the theater
Okay no but like, I am still SO ENAMORED by this transition y’all, ‘cause when Dorothy opens the door of the house onto the colors of Oz, the inside of the house is still sepia toned. And they did that by literally making the interior and the costume and everything SEPIA TONED. You had a double for Judy Garland in a specifically-created sepia-toned dress, in a sepia-toned set, opening the door, backing out of frame, and then the Dorothy that steps back into frame is Judy Garland in her full color costume and makeup, stepping out into the color set.
It’s just
Y’all it’s such a GREAT EFFECT, and this was before computer effects and green screen, it was all practical and yeah it feels like nothing now, but at the time, man, not only was technicolor new, but I’m pretty sure no other movie had done a transition out of b/w or sepia into color, and even knowing it was a technicolor film, that must have just been fucking wild to see! It still is wild to see!! It’s so good.
The technique of switching between double and main actor without an edit is called a Texas Switch and it's still used today, it's very neat to have something so simple yet tricky persist pretty much just because it genuinely looks better to do it with timing than with editing.
Couldn’t sleep so I started sketching some of my old faves! Any Gundam Wing fans out there?
I think one of my favorite creative joys is seeing how many different things people can do with the same concept. give ten writers the same starting point, or basic plot, or set of tropes to use and you're still going to get wildly different end results
the details you focus on, the ones you omit, turns of phrase, tone, and framing, the cadence and tempo of the sentences themselves, all the little fingerprints you've left littered across the prose — how you tell the story matters, and your personal voice is what makes it unique

“Which one of you holds the umbrella?”
Duo stopped short, clearly caught off guard by his walking companion.
Noin met his confusion with a smile. “You know,” she said casually, crossing her arms over her uniformed chest, “when you're walking together, which one of you holds the umbrella?
Heero: I want to revisit something you said previously. If you were to put together a draft of people you would date, would I at least be on it?
Duo: I mean, how many slots do I have?
Heero: …One.
Duo: …No.
Heero: Two.
Duo: Wh-What are you asking me right now?
i dont know who needs to hear this but as a general PSA for those who pay people online for goods and services: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. While it might seem funny to write a clever note along with your transaction, any sort of hint that you're buying something nsfw or even mildly suggestive poses a huge risk that the person you're paying is getting their method of payment shut down permanently. transaction services are stricter than ever. "thanks for the boobs" is a pipe bomb that only needs one pair of eyes to be noticed. loose lips sink ships
hey i know you guys are all the funniest and smartest people in the world but you arent actually required to give any reasons for payment right. you can just say nothing. you know that right
Its me, your feral godmother
*waves a wand and grants you the teeth and claws to fuck your evil step family up*
Good luck kid you're in a reverse beauty and beast situation. Do not let that princely motherfucker fall in love with your inner humanity or the spell will fail and you'll turn human again
Good news if you bite his ass you can start a pack together. Go forth. Enjoy the ball
You can bite a princess too if you want. Or a milkmaid, or a butler or whatever. Go nuts. The more the merrier
#misread as feral hogmother
That's my girlfriend, she's rooting for you too
#investing at 70 notes
That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about a post of mine that wasn't an addition to a post of someone else's XD
#posts that will become Tumblr heritage
I wish. I don't think it's even gonna crack 500 notes
I am researching the term “shipping” for my bachelor thesis, and turns out, in 1913 there were already printing fanfiction. The novel “Old friends, new fancies” is an imaginary sequel to the novels of Jane Austen and apparently some crack ships became canon. WHY IS THIS THE FIRST TIME I HEAR ABOUT THIS?
I ask the same, fan fiction had been around for 100 years?? That’s so weird and cool. 😂
