Not looking to be a big account or anything I just wanna exist as a part of a community rather than someone just being looked at from afar. The only art spaces Ive had not completely tank were my Facebook days. All the OCs like Ball Girl were from those days too which I should appreciate more

A collection of characters doing a pose in a prison ship escaping a planet. The caption says "OCT9 GOOD END: There's no "I" in Team." Art by saiko-pyon.bsky.social.

Not to get parasocial but this whole thing kinda freaked me out, how quickly something so obviously not true can explode because people are chomping at the bit to hate him, that pressure is overwhelming I think.

I used to be a big convergence theory guy but I’m glad it’s fallen out of favor in some lore discussions because now I feel like that theory makes no sense, the flooded hurtle feels too fundamentally different

Should I say "retweets appreciated" to this one? Yeah I should.

#CharOCtober Day 7 - #IceAge3DawnOfTheDinosaurs

The herd return and go on an adventure to save their friend from a lost world of dinosaurs, where they end up relying on a particularly strange and crazy weasel to help them.

Artwork of JoshuaFE8's Catgirl OC, Joshy Cat holding Buck's sword made from Rudy's tooth from "Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs." She is designed to represent Buck. She's wearing a frilly dress in the colours of Buck's fur with the darker parts on the sleeves and end of the dress to be like how his arms and legs are this colour. She has underbite fangs, a smirky smiley expression, and shorter hair than usual with it flipped over to her right side. She's also wearing Buck's eyepatch.

What happened?

Saw that “you say you’d die for me but would you wash the dishes without asking” post today and it applies here. Side eye people boiling down activism to one big gesture that would probably never come up in their lives as opposed to putting in the work over a long period of time

Laura Jedeed @laurajedeed.bsky.social · 19h

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

My guess is they wanted to recapture the magic of the OG and so with that came a true blank slate. But that was never meant to be something applying to everything going forward and people who really really want it to be true for some reason kinda just convinced themselves it was.

Maple Treeway @smartsmears.bsky.social · 18h

I’m convinced at this point that the Wild era specifically is one where they don’t care about the timeline, before that we got Skyward Sword and after that we got Echoes of Wisdom, two of the most intentionally lore heavy games in the franchise.

No this is valid

Maple Treeway @smartsmears.bsky.social · 19h

Aren't they the good execution of a bunch of movies that already exist? They're basically the ones at the other end

What I dont get about Newsom love is outside the redistricting (kudos for being willing to use leverage) all the talk about how he's the clear frontrunner uniquely suited to beat Trump amounts to trolling on twitter and posting memes. Pretty much the only policy I know from him is being anti trans.

Sin(éad) @tidbit.bsky.social · Aug 27

To highlight the same shit we’ve been saying for at least a month now, here are bullet points from Dr Stryker’s speech below to explain exactly why trans people will not be accepting Newsom.

Dems, I’m begging y’all to elevate someone who meets the moment.

- Blocked/buried protective legislations in
CA to avoid national political fallout
- Said existing quality protections too far
- Claimed to not "understand" pronoun controversy
- Embraced right wing talking points against trans people
- Suggested <25 trans healthcare ban
- Told multiple RW podcasts too quick to ask on some issues, *now* he's done his homework.

This is the best example of the bounce off your enemies and hits your allies meme, pig poop balls is funny to imagine other people seeing but not to see yourself.

CN greenlit my short "Harmony in Despair" for the CartoonCartoons Project alongside several other shorts in 2021.
I happily wrote/directed/produced the creative venture alongside several amazing talents who made this vision come to life.
The short was completed in April 2022.
One of these days, huh?

Nintendo training their fanbase to react with hostility or apathy at anyone trying to engage with their stories or lore and then trying to build hype this way is funny.

oh yea did this 4 months ago and forgot to post it. "Are we there yet?" seems a pretty apt caption LOL

my working theory is that individual words show up in searches better than hashtags so forgive me but i must:
ben tennyson omniverse samurai rabbit yuichi usagi raoul tracks transformers

A recreation of the "Angry Goofy" meme in a "draw your comfort characters" format. There are four characters in a blue car. From left to right: Ben Tennyson holding a disgruntled Master Shake, looking at him with suspicion. Yuichi Usagi in the back seat with his arms crossed, pouting and frowning. Raoul in the driver's seat, annoyed. The car is actually Tracks.
