It’s been a while since we checked in on how the Renaissance is doing with its ocean mysteries, so here is a marine biology update circa 1550.

Seals come in two forms:

Buff

& Triangular

Walruses are horrifying

But whales are worse

Fish can have human faces

but not always where you’d expect

As for the rest

… it’s probably better left alone.

22 YEARS AGO ON DECEMBER 18, 1998 - DREAMWORKS ANIMATION RELEASED “THE PRINCE OF EGYPT”

Because DreamWorks was concerned about theological accuracy, they decided to call in Biblical scholars, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim theologians, and Arab American leaders to help the film be more accurate and faithful to the original story. After previewing the developing film, all these leaders noted that the studio executives listened and responded to their ideas, and praised the studio for reaching out for comment from outside sources.

The animation team for The Prince of Egypt included 350 artists from 34 different nations. Careful consideration was given to depicting the ethnicities of the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, and Nubians properly.

Both character design and art direction worked to set a definite distinction between the symmetrical, more angular look of the Egyptians versus the more organic, natural look of the Hebrews and their related environments. The backgrounds department, headed by supervisors Paul Lasaine and Ron Lukas, oversaw a team of artists who were responsible for painting the sets/backdrops from the layouts. Within the film, approximately 934 hand-painted backgrounds were created.

“Who am I? Who am I? What are you even saying? I’m the loser of the game you didn’t know you were playing!”

My mom walked into the kitchen and said “What is this? A fat ｓｗａｍｐ ｓｋｕｎｋ in my residence?” and I entered to find her and my remorseful cat locked in a staring match with these exact expressions

Me when i fucking GET you

there’s a lot of slapstick comedy in ed edd n eddy, and i think everything comes down to the fact that these characters have no concept of personal space. none. it just doesn’t exist. they’re constantly roughhousing and manhandling each other but they’re also constantly clinging to each other and won’t stop doing shit like this so it all loops back around in the end, really

like i’ve never seen so much of this in a cartoon. they will not stop holding each other. eddy just crawls all over people like a spider. incredible

One of the sweetest things about Way Of The House Husband is that Tatsu hangs out with all the middle aged housewives while his wife is at work and apparently that’s exactly the life he always wanted.

Even sweeter is that Tatsu affectionately calls Miku “the boss” but will also sometimes talk about his yakuza boss without making it clear that he’s not talking about Miku. His old boss would make him do grueling work and often beat him, which results in the women thinking Miku is abusing him.

Their concern for him and assurance that he can always come to them for help is so sweet. Just housewives looking out for a househusband with no judgement.

heather after every elimination ceremony in tdi:

jessica rabbit is literally a sex symbol though she can't be asexual?

she is in romo with a rabbit because he makes her laugh and aside from using her looks to get things out of people she literally never once shows interest in anything or anyone sexually through the entire movie and is clearly appalled when anyone makes advances towards her like there is canonical evidence that jessica rabbit from the classic motion picture who framed rogger rabbit is an asexual character  

Can we talk about this guy for a second? I feel like he doesn’t get enough credit even though he played, arguably, one of the most important roles in Mulan. For those of you who don’t know, this is the Chinese soldier stationed on top of the Great Wall at the beginning of the film.

After his helmet is knocked off and he sees the Huns throw grappling hooks up onto the ramparts, he calls out to the person who is supposed to be on top of the tower to light the signal. We don’t know where that person is supposed to be, but given the fact that several Huns come out from the door in this shot, we can assume they likely killed him.

But does that stop this guy? No. He judges the situation and reacts accordingly. Despite being swung at by a Hun with a large sword and being forced to pull himself up onto the tower, he doesn’t even stop to take a breather. He just grabs the torch and is about to light the signal himself when something stops him.

This guy. Shan Yu is already on top of the tower as this soldier is about to light the signal. Now, Shan Yu is already a scary mf, but I think it’s important to see how our soldier reacts to seeing him because it tells us an important detail that many people may overlook.

Look at his face. This soldier isn’t just stunned because there a massive Hun waiting for him on top of the tower, but because he recognizes said Hun. Or at least he knows enough about what Shan Yu looks like to put two and two together and assume that this is him. He knows this man and his reputation. He knows exactly the kinds of things Shan Yu is willing to do to people who stand in his way. And what does this soldier do? Does he beg for his life? Does he try to escape?

No. This bamf just looks Shan Yu right in the eye and does his duty. He lights the signal, knowing full well that doing so will likely get him killed. But, he does it anyway. And immediately after lighting the signal, he looks up the the Hun leader with this expression.

This is a man who would look Death in the face and say “Fuck you!” He knows he has maybe a few more seconds of life left and yet he stands tall. And why is this important? Because this one act of valor led to this.

The signals are being lit. All of the people of China are being warned of invasion and now they can properly prepare for the war to come. And it’s all thanks to this one brave soldier who doesn’t get nearly enough credit for his service.

The LGBT community has worked it’s ass off to make it known that sexuality is not a choice.

Fast foward to 2018 and ya’ll are out here mocking people for being straight, asking them why they would be that way, spewing reasons why being straight is apparently gross, and that being LGBT is so much better.

Great fucking job, guys. Honestly. Keep up the great work giving homophobes ammo and reasons to hate us. You’re doing great, sweetie. Absolutely fantastic. You’re everything you hate. Congratulations.

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
