"so come home," said ground control

prev dont leave this in the tags

you don’t gotta tell me to boycott the Nintendo prices by not buying bc i don’t have the money to get them anyways

‘guys don’t spend 600-700 dollars on the new nintendo products to send a message’ im way ahead of you man

So we all mocked the Minecraft movie and agreed to not give it money...only for y'all to immediately go see it?

It's lazy. It's ugly. They're banking on it being a huge money maker. They totally whitewashed Steve. Afaik there's a boycott on Microsoft rn (the company that Owns Minecraft). It has colonist undertones. Don't go see this pile of garbage. Yes even if they paid off your fave streamer to advertise it

fan art because I think she's pretty

@elodieunderglass its pretty and all but...

She’s lovely

i think in the pokemon world they would say "it's so snover" and "we're so baxcalibur". my mind is so twisted and fucked up you couldnt possibly hope to understand..............................

Hbomberguy right before obliterating James Somerton's career:

i know nothing about youtuber whatsoever. every time someone talks about a popular youtuber it feels like theyre conjuring a dude from thin air. hearing about youtuber drama is like seeing everyone spontaneously pull a guy out of their hat and start beating him to death with hammers

Cats (2019) is worse than Doctor Who (2006) even though the show was made with the budget of a crisp packet

okay everyone buckle the hell up cause I'm gonna nerd out to you about the makeup they used for this episode.

Yeah that's right I SAID MAKE UP

Everything from the top of their head to the end of their neck

purely intricate, beautiful makeup

(by the very talented make up designer Sheelagh Wells who is the only one to have worked both on doctor who in '63 and new who)

Each shaped individually to each actors face and able to pick up each micro expression we still struggle to produce with cgi to this day without it looking wrong or plastic

everything from the small cheek movements to the eyebrows to the nose crinkle, the actresses is able to act as if she usually would.

By not having to restrain her face to act in one peticular spot or with nothing but small motion capture dots on her face, means she can actually bounce off the more realistic reaction to the other actors performance rather than if they just said "right well pretend she's a cat and we'll add it in later".

and sure, okay, I'm not gonna lie to you, the main reason the nun cats were made to be nuns was because it meant that they could cover up as much skin as they possibly could to save time in the makeup chair, because like op said, they truly did have the budget of a crisp packet

but hey, if it works

IT WORKS

Yes, each actresses sat in the makeup chair getting the extensive hair and make up done for HOURS, but ultimately the sheer amount of detail they were able to add to the characters by doing this made it worth their while.

THEY ONLY HAD A BUDGET OF AROUND £800K PER EPISODE at the time, in 2006 FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING LOCATION ETC

Imagine what these make up designers would be able to do with A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE BUDGET

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS AS INSANE FOR THE CAT PEOPLE AS I AM

THEY DID IT MORE TOO GRIDLOCK IS ONE OF MY FAVE EPISODES THANKS TO THIS GUY

Thomas Kincade Brannigan (yes of course he's dressed like that for the same reasons come on)

YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT MICRO EXPRESSIONS LOOK

This whole episode reeks of "we don't have money at all so we will film only tiny tiny interiors". It almost feels like the whole scenario was written BECAUSE OF THIS

Brannigan is also the proud father... Of... A... Litter of actual real life kittens 😐 ok I remember I laughed out loud while watching I loved this.

Anyway this to say OFTEN THE BEST THINGS COME FROM INGENUITY IN FRONT OF LIMITATIONS AND PASSION

NOT FROM MONEY (and rushing your workers to make more money faster 🙃)

part of the joy of having a fetish that's still somewhat outside of the mainstream (if you disagree then xkcd geologists dot png) but fairly popular is that complaining about a trope being too common in your semi-obscure pornography is really funny

anyway I just saw someone complain about how snakes are too common in hypnosis porn

personally i think hypnosis is too common in snake porn.

Not my image, and it's technically backwards according to how Venn/Euler diagrams work, but…

I don't know anything about YuGiOh but "Overworked" is the greatest card art they've ever done

Yeah that’s good but check out the original OCG art:

tumblr media criticism

the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever

steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!

i think the most interesting part is that steve (and the others, mostly alex) are constantly misgendered by not just fans, but official minecraft content itself. merch, social media posts, etc will often refer to steve with he/him, and alex with she/her, although sometimes they seem to omit pronouns entirely. the developers, though, have seen them as genderless since basically the beginning

before notch became who he is today, he posted about gender in minecraft, ending it with:

and in an interview with lydia williams, she talks about how she was corrected on steve’s gender (presumably by her coworkers at the time):

and again, in the latest skin-related video, both steve and sunny are referred to solely with they/them. the developers seem pretty set and comfortable with the genderless nature of the player characters, which makes it really confusing as to why the rest of the branding ignores that fact entirely
