Do you ever feel like you have secret joys?

Not things you think you should hide or that make you feel ashamed inside,

But just those things that you couldn’t explain?

Like the reason you like you’re job that starts at 3, or your tea bitter instead of sweet, or why hunger feels more calming than agitating some mornings

And you know they’re not all great.

Habits that have worn into you in crevices you couldn’t trace

But I can’t chase the calm of it away,

The life giving quiet that lengthens your days.

Those crazy, only-you joys.

The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle
(Source: Cartoon Brew)

I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks. 

     I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go.
     Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes.
      Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.

Milt Khal was a MASTER.

God, I can’t express to you how fucking DELIGHTED I become whenever they Milt Khal Head Swaggle Post graces my dash with its presence again.

This. 

The art style seems to get more and more like Calvin and Hobbes as it goes on

So you’re telling me I hurt in fall and winter cause it’s cold, during and before storms because of pressure, and during spring and summer because it’s humid.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

image

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

One of my favourite pop culture useless pieces of information that I know is the fact that trends in horror movies can tell you about the general fears of the world at any given time in cinematic history.

image

Sorta!

1940s - You have people still alive that remember Jack the Ripper, you have the Axeman of New Orleans and two world wars. The classics are being made for shock escapism and dark stalkers are also popular (usually trusting people turning out to be the enemy).

1950s - post-nuclear bomb. Giant monsters, or unknown blobs are the trend.

1970s/1980s - modern era begins, and serial killers are becoming known and prominent. Slasher films are the trend. The Cold War also drives the fear of invasion, so a few alien films come out in this time.

1990s - a horror movie lull, and lull in wars and disturbances.

2000s - fear of invasions and biological warfare. Zombie movies become the trend.

Here you go! It’s just a random article, but it’s a fun starting point. It outlines the ideas better than what I did above. Fears, politics etc all play a role.

I literally did a 100k PhD thesis on this. I can recommend you a different scholarly book for every decade of American horror.

Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like “if you think you might lose, avoid doing that”, “being outnumbered is bad generally”, and “consider lying.”

My personal favourite is his lengthy lecture on the subject of Supplies Being Very Important I Cannot Stress Enough The Importance Of Protecting Your Supply Lines But Also Supply Lines Are Expensive As Shit So Steal The Enemy’s Supplies At Every Opportunity.

listen nobody talks about how mentally and physically draining it is to commute before and after work. you’re tired by the time you get there and you’re exhausted when you leave but you still have an hour in traffic before you can get home and collapse

unions actually talk about this a lot

Are you ever scrolling through tumblr or instagram, or reading poetry or fanfiction, or walking under the stars or watching the first snow fall of the season, and think how do people cope? with the beauty we breathe in everyday and the colors that flood the edges of our brains? Why don’t we choke? How do we walk with the weights on our feet? How have we lived on through so much beauty?

homunculus-argument:

You ever sit there doing something with your hands, listening to a podcast or audiobook or something, and suddenly realise that’s your natural state to be. This is what you’re supposed to be doing, crafting something nice while listening to another human’s speech and thoughts. How people have done this for as long as there’s been people, from crafting arrow heads from rocks while listening to grandma tell the tale of the mammoth hunt, to having a friend read aloud from a book while you’re all fixing horse reins and doing needlework, to you sitting there doing whatever you’re doing, with youtube open on the background.
