@Lumin_esc it deffo doesn't look comfortable, where *is* this anyways?
#subpost Brave Starr/Cow Boys of Moo Mesa fanfic?
@Kusimanse whoa!
@Ylfingr I like it! It takes a little while to figure out what's going on, so "slightly surreal tagging which, on closer inspection, references Norse myth" seems way more like Oakland/like the Oakland I want than Bible quote stickers.
I am surprised to find that - outside of two incidents in which victorious Hussites were complete bastards to everyone, Jews included - my usual expectation of medieval Europe and what we're told about it doesn't actually apply to the Hussite Wars. And I can therefore persist in oversimplifying them, of course.
#drawing today wasn’t intended as vent art - originally I’d wanted to draw a ghoul lord inviting a wizard to an apparently feast, and she’d dispel the illusion to reveal body parts and entrails. This isn’t my usual deal. CW for drawn parts of corpses.
occasionally I think I'm superhuman right up until something triggers me and it's ridiculously easy to trigger me.
@erin_kitsune points out that I'm not human, but then neither's Superman and *he's* described as superhuman.
re: The Wild Robot, thoughts and some spoilers
@Kusimanse It's BEAUTIFUL. Also, stay for the credits; there's a little outtake at the end but the credits themselves have little animations of the animals.
@ziphi look that trebuchet was a GOOD IDEA.
@Ylfingr Cool!
The Wild Robot, thoughts and some spoilers
So I got to see The Wild Robot. Visually it's gorgeous, and predictably I wound up weeping at points, but the story's kind of disjointed. It's sort of like Dreamworks trying to make a Studio Ghibli film so there are places they pull punches and it feels disingenuous where a Miyazaki film would hurt like hell.
The initial storyline about a stranded robot and her fox companion moving from taking care of an orphaned gosling until he can survive by migrating during the winter REALLY works. The robot's just seeking a meaningful task, the fox trying a new scam, and the gosling is limited by being a runt, and all of them actually grow beyond their "programming."
Then there's an added storyline about the gosling becoming some sort of brave goose leader and the island's animals joining together during a terrible snowstorm, then to help the robot fight agents of her less than altruistic manufacturer when they come to retrieve her, and afterwards the animals are united by those experiences, and it's just a little *too* happy an ending and sort of misses with me if that makes sense.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
