y'all, not only does James Gurney have an active website, but he's still selling hardcover signed copies of Dinotopia — and for less than $50?!? 😭
He's still selling large art prints too!!
10 year old me is reeling and I cannot wait to fulfill my lifelong dream of having Dinotopia art in my home 😭🩷🦕
The USA just revealed that they have a lot of suckers.
flat earth is compelling to me, because their whole selling point is that reality is EXACTLY as you see it. just use your eyes bro, you're not moving, there's no curve. but then you look inside and its just endless batshit attempts to explain away basic observations.
TL;DR: I was being a dick on twitter, the allegations on both the BBU devs and Blackgryph0n were false, and I sincerely apologize for my actions and I will better myself as a person here on out. (please read. or don't, i can't tell you what to do.)
HI! :D if you don't know, some false rumors were spread on twitter about the Billie Bust Up devs and the VA for Barnaby recently. Now, beforehand, I did not know this. This drama lead me into a sour streak where I would admittedly harass people and just say nasty things about the wonderful people behind this game. :(
I will say this now; WHAT I DID WAS WRONG. Instead of being patient, waiting for both sides to come out to listen to both sides, or even asking for updates on the drama, I lashed out on others, said nasty things, and this lead me in a wrong path of taking a break/cooling down before properly apologizing. I should have apologized first before taking the break, honestly. I DO NOT CONDONE MY ACTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A CONTROVERSY/DRAMA AND WAIT TO HEAR BOTH SIDES BEFORE FORMING YOUR OPINION.
To the lovely devs at Billie Bust Up;
I apologize for calling you guys all those awful things and harassing your fans. I was heated in the moment of the drama which was on my part. I won't blame my mental health or mental illness for my behavior, since this was a failure to have critical, logical thinking on my part. I understand if you guys won't forgive me, and that is okay. I understand that feeling. I wish the best for you, and when your game comes out for Xbox, I will purchase a copy of the game to support your guys wonderful and creative endeavors of diversity. /gen /srs
To BlackGryph0n himself;
I apologize for not hearing your side of the story when it came out. I had only heard of your side a few days ago (I wanna say 2 or 3 days) and I feel really bad for harassing your fans as well. I had believed the false rumors, and I am the one at fault. I had lacked patience or critical thinking at the time and I was in the wrong for doing that. I hope the best for your career, your mental health, and you and your wife.
To the people I had harassed and to the rest of the Billie Bust Up Comunity;
I sincerely apologize for what I had said. It was a dick move of me to say the things I had said, since it was impulsive and rude of me to do so. This controversy, and my reaction to it, had left a stain on the community, and I wish to clean up that stain. I will take time to learn to grow and improve so that this community may be a more welcoming place, to fans new and old, and to the wonderful people behind the game.
if you wish to contact me further, you can either DM me here, on twitter @/anonymousegeek, or contact me on discord (anonymousegeekakabatty)
Everytime this is reblogged, JK Rowling steps on a lego
Trust me I'm getting tired of this too but...
This is Micah Mayfield, a guntuber who recently released a video in which he made a "joke" about having a trans person in his gun sights....
And oh man would you look at that? Its Grand Thumb! The man who Brandon Buckingham who will make fun of you for thinking that they are terrible people or not! These are all people Wendigoon are comfortable being around. Let's see how Garand Thumb is taking the criticism?
Ah! I see! Surely a great person to be friends with!
I’m gonna be blunt. We really should be boycotting fnaf.
Scott Cawthon donated to Trump. If you’ve been online since results have been called, you know people are panicking because he’s getting a second term.
as far as I know, he has never owned up to it and tried to do better by his non-white, non-queer fans. He is still making money off the games, the toys, the books, the movie, anything FNAF related.
And we know at least some of that money went into Trump’s pockets.
The fact FNAF isn’t being boycotted like Harry Potter is baffling. We need to do better. Especially if he actually has won the presidency.
Y'all do know scott cawthon is making money off of the fnaf movie AND he donates to republican politicians who have been supporting the anti trans legislation going on?? Right.. righ???
The only stuff that made it from the book into the movie are some of the aesthetics, Michelle's name, and her motivation to find her brother.
List of stuff down below of what the book had that the movie didn't have. Spoilers for people who haven't read the book. (Read the book it's great)
There is no AI.
All the robots are controlled by humans.
The USA had a civil war that was fought by drone pilots who wore older versions of Neurocasters which required them to use addictive drugs that also destroyed their ability to reproduce.
People who wear the Neurocasters too long meld into a digital hivemind.
Neurocasters keeps the mind alive as long as it is worn. It does not protect the body from harm.
Graphic description of someone's brain getting chunkified by an anti-matter round.
Michelle's bio parents didn't die in a car crash. Instead her father is unmentioned (if I recall correctly) and her mom was a veteran who died from a drug overdose after being abandoned by the government. (foster parents "died" due to the Neurocasters)
Michelle dyed her blonde hair black because she wanted to distance herself from the "popular" girls and to spite her foster mom (who Michelle beat over the head with a lunch tray after she mocked her for wanting to dye her hair). Kind of important to her character. They keep her blonde in the movie for some fucking reason.
Michelle had a girlfriend who broke up with her after a crazy priest converted her. Heartbreaking to read.
Michelle found her brother's body rotting away in a house while wearing a Neurocaster. Still alive and in control of Cosmo.
It is implied that she and him rowed out into the ocean in a kayak to be swallowed by the waves.
Cultist working for the hivemind hunting for her brother as well, possibly what Giancarlo Esposito's character was based on though I doubt it.

So, this took root 1 day to write, me 100 hours to draw and you 10 seconds to read (spend a little longer plz?)
Really proud of this one! I wanted to practice action and experiment with different coloring styles and I thank root so much for being patient as I tried out different things. Root, I loved going back and forth with you over the pages at every stage. I adore how you captured both Talanah's and Aloy's voices as they casually converse while fighting an angry Thunderjaw. Hope you enjoyed the Sunhawk teasing her Thrush!!
