ATTENTION COSPLAYERS:

Nothing beside remains

Pause. Think about this (amazing video, obsessed with the snake facts and the delivery of them). Imagine if you were living your life then an unknowable entity scooped you up and started very very excitedly ranting about how amazing a creature like you is. It loudly goes on and on, getting more and more excited. You try to wiggle away to no avail. But it’s not hurting you, it’s being very gentle as it holds you. It’s just so happy it finally found a creature like you!! So excited!! And it goes on about how beautiful you look and random facts about your species!!

And then you’re finally allowed to slip away, you are let go back into your day-to-day life. The experience was a little frightening, but you are completely unharmed and safe. You return to what you were doing before.

i love this clip he sounds beyond hammered

So one of my favorite things about WALL-E is how, even though it takes place in a future where humans have screwed up the Earth big-time, and we’re living in this impersonal complacency dystopia and everything, all the human characters (or at least the ones we meet at the time of the narrative) are good people.

And like, in that vein, I love Captain McCrea’s arc—his sense of wonder at discovering the vast, complicated beauty of our Earth; his shift, when his romantic notions are shattered, not to despair but to heroism; the way he takes on the true meaning of what has been a cushy figurehead position, and becomes a real decision-maker and leader.

But another thing that always really catches my attention is the little scenes when WALL-E meets John and Mary.  WALL-E doesn’t look or act like the Axiom robots, so they both react to him with some confusion—but at the same time, they automatically return his politeness.  Just by the simple act of exchanging names, they accept WALL-E’s invitation to engage with him, and they begin to count him as a friend.  John and Mary don’t do anything big to impact the main conflict or anything.  But it means a lot that when their routines are interrupted by a strange robot, their first impulse isn’t to be annoyed or suspicious, but to be friendly and nice without a second thought.

And these positive qualities aren’t limited to the humans that have been directly touched by WALL-E’s eccentricity.  When the deck tilts in the climactic scene, everyone reaches out and tries to help each other.  Everyone cheers for the captain when he stands up to AUTO; everyone feels for WALL-E and EVE in their moment of tragedy.  And everyone seems excited and hopeful about the prospect of returning to Earth and starting something new.

I just really love the optimism in this movie.  I love how the story posits that being kind and caring and curious and brave really is the natural state of humanity, and it’s just that sometimes we need a little push to remind us of that.

Oops I dropped my updated drive of DnD resources that I'd NEVER put the 2024 Player's Handbook on, or any other materials.

That would be so reckless of me. Who would leave 100+ DnD materials just laying around?

Time to show some love and appreciate these heroes.

This is the most motivating thing I’ve seen in my entire goddamn life

If Venom 2 doesn’t start like this we riot okay guys

This took two hours do not let this flop-

HEY GUESS WHAT

You're cool and loved ❤️✨

I appreciate the ✨nice✨ things you have said. Thank you :)

Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.
