But Then Again, Nothing Ever Really Ends, Does It.

Nicaise??? Would be a good runner up.

my whole life, all anyone's ever wanted was to possess me

Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.

The three Fates sharing an eye.

Hades’ flaming hair. 

The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.

The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.

It’s a very visually engaging movie.

How could I forget the Underworld

And the opening sequence

Y’all need to get off Walter Disney’s cock

Jeez, I just said the movie looks nice. No need to get antsy.

Also like, pretty sure WD didn’t make that movie. It was the effort of various animators who sometimes get overlooked because we don’t see them WORKING on it for so many days, just the two hour long result.

Pretty sure that Walt Disney didn’t work on Hercules since it came out decades after he died.

Fun fact! The reason Hercules has such a unique style is because Musker and Clements brought illustrater Gerald Scarfe (famous for his work on Pink Floyd’s The Wall) to be the conceptual character artist. His original character designs are wild

Hey kids, did you know that you can be critical of a company and acknowledge how shitty it is in its business practices, and appreciate that it produces a lot of good art, much of which is created by artists and animators who have nothing whatsoever to do with the aforementioned shitty business practices?

Fucking wild that you can do that.

I’m glad this thread went exactly where I wanted it to

when i die i hope i come back as a beautiful microscopic granule of sand

these are all me in my next life btw

#these are mostly Foraminifera and I once spent a month sorting through thousands of these on a microscope slide#I did resent them terribly for a while but I respect them too much for any of it to stick#they were 40 million years old#their shells hold chemical memories of the water temperature and salinity#so we can use them to reconstruct past sea levels#we can read the shapes of dead continents through the bodies of these creatures#we can track cycles of earth’s orbital precession in space#so I guess even if you don’t get to come back as a beautiful microscopic grain of sand something will (@catadromously )

No but I hate seeing young adults beat themselves up for not having it all at a certain age. Like the person with a career will hate themselves for not having a long education, while the person finishing their degree will hate themselves for not also working. And the person in a committed relationship will judge themselves for not also having a big friend group, while the person with lots of friends feels that they're failing because they're single. And in reality no life ever follows a set time line and it's unfair to expect anyone to have it all at once by 20 or 25 or 30 or literally any arbitrary deadline

Happy spooktacular weekends! 👺🌹

"Trash."

Listen, I love the "XL helps HC to see how beautiful he is" scenario as much as the next person... But I also see it like this.

I think part of the reason I’m so obsessed with MXTX’s works is the way that each story seems to hold you gently as say “Your kindness mattered. It didn’t alleviate the suffering, it did not undo the pain. But your kindness mattered.”

Kindness could not erase Luo Binghe’s abuse, but it changed the story into a kinder one.

Kindness did not stop Wei Wuxian’s death, but it did save a-Yuan.

Kindness did not undo Xie Lian’s suffering, but it renewed his sincerity to help others.

Kindness did not change the entire world, but it helped create a softer future.

Its such a nice message, that maybe kindness will not protect you, maybe you don’t see the outcome of it, but you should still try to be kind, and I love that honestly.

MXTX protags my beloved. Prettyboy table for the win
