I had this idea for a looping animation in which a single dot has a pretty long loop, but the animation as a whole is much shorter. Because of the repetition this animation is only 1 second long!
THIS GIF IS ONE SECOND LONG
I sspent far too long just following it around, getting lost, and having to restart.
I realized I never posted these here on tumblr! 2020 did unspeakable things to my mind and body…I staggered away from lockdown with a whole pitch of how I would make an animated Cats adaptation. I got the whole thing up here *taps skull*—it would be Very Good. I can’t think about it too much lest I awaken my sleeping obsession…still want to finish Old Deut and Macavity one of these days.
Fun fact: The term “Jellicle Cat” is actually the cats’ mishearing of the term “Dear Little Cat” (this gives me much joy)
the barbie movie is an anomaly and i look forward to seeing all the other mattel movies being giant flops 😂
okay so the ACTUAL lesson here is “People enjoy seeing a fresh, funny take on something familiar with surprising depth and heart from an imaginative director” and the lesson THEY took is “People want movies based on old toys and games.”
I was applying for a Visa for a layover in America and one of the questions is ‘have you ever or do you now plan to commit acts of terrorism’? Wow, what a deterrent: asking! I clicked 'yes’ just to see what would happen and it brought up an alert that said 'Warning! This could jeopardize your entry into the country’
i saw some thread on xitter with some dude asking why drag queens “want to be around children so much” re: story hours and all the replies were either predictably disgusting or very defensive but not a single goddamn one of them answered the question so i will help in case anyone ever asks you this incredibly stupid question: they are clowns!! drag queens are just clowns!! they put on extremely silly makeup and huge wigs and bright clothes and do over-the-top performances that make people laugh and smile and sometimes cry. that is the definition of a clown. they like to perform for children because they are a type of clown and children are great audiences and it is not any deeper than that. god damn.
Why shouldn’t adults want to be around children and do fun things like read them stories?
People should be asking themselves that first.
This weird hysterical paranoia we’ve all more or less bought into where it’s WEIRD to get excited when a small human is delightedly happy about something is… it just sucks.
Kids are great. Hanging out with them is great. If you think the only reason a grown human would do so is sexual… what thing in your life went so wrong that you think that?
I think more people need to learn the phrase “I don’t know enough about that to have a strong opinion” its literally a cheat code for awkward conversations
