#They really did it

i just realized something that is probably ridiculously insignificant to literally everybody else but harley’s potato gun is made out of hamster tunnels. in conclusion... harley had a hamster

he probably had a class hamster and then BEGGED his mom for one and finally she relented IF he split the costs using money from chores/cutting neighbors grass and whatnot, and he agreed so quickly. started doing research too and found out the hamsters cage and all wasnt suitable and so he built a better one all by himself for his hamster and used the left over tunnels for his gun. whenever it bites him he’d tell it that it’s an ungrateful little asshole, but he loves that thing to bits anyways. named it nog after the star trek character and vents all his life problems to it...

Please Back My Cartoon on Kickstarter: A Plea From a Man Who Has Run Out of Steam

Copied from my twitter account:

Please back my cartoon on Kickstarter. We’re halfway through the campaign and have less than 3% of our goal. I’ve been trying to run this campaign professionally and am just not good at it. So in my own voice, here is why you should support my project:

My name is Max Dweck. I call myself the World’s Greatest Writer. I may even believe it a little. If you know any of my stuff, it’s these vids I wrote for Marvel, “Marvel TL;DR”. If you’ve ever enjoyed it, we’ve already proven that I CAN entertain you.

My idea’s called “Big Cat Bandits”. It’s about a group of globe-traveling thieves who resist an evil dog empire by stealing from them. A lot of folks have compared it to Sly Cooper, which IS an inspiration. It is also very solidly its own thing.

My partner’s Noah Sterling, the voice and producer of Marvel TL;DR. I’ve been running this campaign, and I am not good at marketing. But WE are VERY good at making entertainment. Here’s our original pilot animatic from 2018 for proof. I think it holds up.

Don’t wanna watch all those videos? I don’t blame you. So here’s the TL;DW: We’re making a fun, imaginative, action-packed show with a dynamic and lovable cast of animal characters who are drawn and voiced by some extremely talented people. Here’s our main character, Prince.

Prince is the son of history’s greatest criminal, the King of Thieves. He’s trying to continue his father’s work of stealing from the evil empire for the people they’ve conquered to keep hope alive and inspire rebellion. He’s cool, except when he’s a teenage dork. The other bandits are:

Reggie: Buff lion. Full of himself. Confidence is 67% deserved.

Mel: Snow leopard disguise artist. Goes undercover as the guy in charge.

Emmy: Clouded leopard kid genius. Young with a lot to prove. 

Roman: Russian tiger who blows himself up a lot. Wild card.

They steal from lots of bad hombres, but mostly the two top dogs of the Rover Empire: 

Emperor Sparky IV: Stupid bratty little chihuahua with skewed priorities. Hey, he’s a royal, whaddya expect? 

Eberhardt Van Hund: Genius German Shepherd inventor and tactician. The real danger.

These guys can go on lots of rad adventures, but only with funding. We need $100K to show you a heist involving ballet dancing and deadly traps. 

If reality breaks and we get $250K, we can show you a longer story involving lasers, aeroplanes, and in lieu of racecars, a giraffe.

This is something I’ve been trying to make for years, and I need your money for that. But I’m not asking you to do this for ME. You don’t know me, you don’t owe me that. I’m asking you to do this for you. ‘Cuz if you like how ANY of this looks, you’re gonna love the full thing.

If you fund this, we’ll have a full pilot. And then we can maybe even sell that pilot and make this thing into a whole TV show. Which would mean a lot more of these cats on their outrageous adventures. And we got a lot of different ideas for all the crime they get up to.

And even if it’s just the pilot, if you give us your money and we make it, there’s crowdfunding rewards for you. Stuff like pins…

An in-universe book of character files I’m way too proud of…

The chance to get your OC in that book…

Or your dog in the pilot…

Wanna see this? Great! Please give us your money. We NEED the money. Without the money, there is no cool cartoon. And then we’re all at the mercy of Netflix for animated content and if you’ve seen the trade headlines you know “mercy” ain’t the right word.

Animation fans! Give us your money! Crime aficionados! Give us your money! Cat lovers! Give us your money! Furries! Please, PLEASE give us your money! I won’t lie, even before we launched the campaign we were really hoping you folks in particular would come in clutch for us.

Please, so we can make this very cool and fun thing you will like, give us some money, and then go and tell other people to give us some money. Pick your ten most disposable friends and annoy the hell out of them until they each fork over five dollars to our Kickstarter.

I am just a storyteller who could not do this marketing thing right, and now I’ve written the Twitter thread Tumblr post that may either save or sink this project. Look into my eyes, and then the eyes of the character from this cartoon on this blanket I got for Chanukah 2020, and PONY UP.

Again, if you don’t wanna scroll up, that Kickstarter link is right here. Get to it and give us your money. We’re all or nothing, so if we fail you don’t actually lose anything anyway, I’m not interested in playing you like that.

Breathe if you agree

Yeah it's time we stop arguing about this.

This is exactly how I feel right now!!

Calling it now. If Andrew's Peter gets introduced by catching M.J then Tobey's Peter will enter like this.

if ms marvel were real there’d be a scene where kamala’s mom is comparing her to other people that can shapeshift and telling her to apply for a superhero scholarship of some kind so she can become “dr marvel”

(kamalas moms disappointed voice) meri beti… ms tique turns into other people why you cannot do this… :(

kamala: ammi mystique is evil

I’m not even in this fandom, but I am Indian, and I can confirm this 100% tracks.

How can you leave this in the tags, @tikkunolamorgtfo

Kamala is actually Pakistani.

Ok, so, totally on board with the tin can kids™ thing. Peter, Harley, Vision are definitely Tony's kids. But, what about Friday??? She was literally created by him, she deserves to be one of his children

This!

You're right; Friday is Tony's kid too.

I feel like she would be seen as the responsible big sister but actually she would be just as chaotic as Harley. But only the other Stark children know that.

So much respect for Andrew Garfield
