Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice #I just think it's really interesting #Like even looking at the Five: #Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace #While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy #Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie #Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant #Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner #(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble). #Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.” #And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking. #In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class. #This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it #Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?” #“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?” #kung fu panda

My kink is *check notes* when people mask consistently and actually care about my safety without me having to ask

#unmasked people stop flirting with me challenge i dont trust you enough to kiss you let alone anything else #mantis talks #covid conscious nsft #covid conscious

It's the 6 month anniversary of this blog! Check out these cool bugs I found.

(EDIT: Check out this amazing fanart by thecornermushroom!)

Part 2 - Part 3

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #hollow knight #mdzs au #mdzs hollow knight AU #way too many characters to tag #'OP why?' Listen... It was either this or a Homestuck crossover. Which is still on the table btw. I've put thought into it. #Speaking of putting thought into things...I have put two full asses of effort into this. So I'm gonna talk about it in the tags. #I mapped all the major sects to hallownest clans and drew *way* more than just the characters shown here #More pertinently not shown are the Nies - Who are beetles! #The mantis clan has a lot of crossover with the Nies given the lore but I Love Mantis Wangji and you cant take him away from me. #wwx was a moth solely for his ties to Baoshen sanren (nearly forgotten sect & nearly forgotten clan) #but (HOLLOW KNIGHT SPOILERS) the ties to her radiance and the infection made for some very fun parallels #YLLZ moth 100% is puppeting husks around #JGS is a pale king expy becuase...you know....lots of children... #it also gives me a great excuse to explain wwx's soul taking mxy's body. #Still have lots and lots to say but I'm already running late! More funny - less specific to a very small population - comics to morrow! #This was more or less a style study and I learned a lot! #Thank you all for an awesome 6 months B*) You guys have pushed my way more out of my shell (pun intented) than I would- #-have ever gone had I just hidden away like I usually do. Thanks for all the support even with silly things like this <3

I need everyone in the universe to know that THESE fucking things exist

#metal gear solid #solid snake #revolver ocelot #THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME #i think Kaz would absolutely have a rubber ducky of BB #just for shits and giggles #there was also a Hal one but I think ut would be really funny if Hal had one that he put on his desk and talked to to work through problems #rubber ducking at rubber ducky snake #it would be such a funny gag gift #they also had a gray fox and psycho mantis one which was pretty sick :]

been playing the metal gear collection for the first time this week

#metal gear solid #mgs #psycho mantis #my art #comics #I’m obsessed with making these dumb little comics of stuff I talk about with my bestie on FaceTime while playing #or stuff that happened to me while playing. I made a comic earlier on paper about my experience with the nikita missile volt switch area

finally figured out what jan and nace talk about during gigs

#joker out #nace jordan #jan peteh #jance #why did they include this moment in one of their vlogs??? not that i'm complaining #proof that they're talking shit all the time #also jan really loves the praying mantis he's brought it up on at least two other occasions #and both those times nace translated it to english for him #knowing what your partner's favourite insect is is true love

being in fandom as a lesbian is so funny bc everyone else is posting hornily about your special guys and you absolutely cannot see it at all he just kind of looks like a stick bug but he's a stick bug you want to study under a magnifying glass in a little tank.

you know?

#like sure sometimes men are pretty enough but the way I see ppl talking abt these men I'm like #are we looking at the same guys? that's a praying mantis #this isnt about any people in particular it's true of every fandom I've ever been in #and if you ever see me screaming about a man being pretty it's in the same way art is pretty #the two genres of man are nice painting or stick bug. TO ME.

Oh lord, bad idea. What if d*ckhead is actually Mantis’s petname for Nebula? Like it’s her version of “babe” or “pookie”

I JUST SAW THIS AND OK WHAT IF

one year reigen overhears a discussion about birthdays in which ekubo responds that he has no idea when his was SO later on his birthday he gets together with the crew and surprises him with a joint birthday party

#ekurei #BC LIKE REIGEN KNOWS THE FEELING #mantis-talk #im going insane #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #ekubo x reigen #ekubo #mob psycho ekubo #reigen arataka #who knows ekubo might no have even been all that bummed about it #but seeing reigen acting like a dork would be so adorable it wouldn’t matter

tattoo day 2! what a difference in the pain and swelling with this one. i'm gonna talk about some perhaps gross stuff about the healing process so, a warning for below.

my last tattoo, on day 2, the saniderm (the clear bandage on top) was filled with so much excess ink and plasma it ended up coming off. and my arm was so swollen it was like a huge red balloon.

this time around there's almost no swelling, just a little redness, and almost no leaking. there's a little excess ink leaking in some spots, making some of the lines look a little wonky underneath the saniderm, but last time around there was so much leakage you couldn't even see the tattoo. seems like this time around i'll be able to keep the saniderm on for the full 3 days. so the healing process should be a bit quicker!

not sure if it's healing better this time around because my last tattoo was so black heavy or what, but i'm happy

#i love this tattoo so got damn much #also the mantis is a female! i took a closer look and counted the segments on her abdomen #which is accurate to the chubbiness of her abdomen too.. seems like a very anatomically correct female mantis #definitely glad i went to someone who loves bugs as much as i do #she also keeps spiders as pets! man it was just so nice talking to someone with similar interests lol.. none of my friends keep inverts #she said she's going to email me when this local invert seller we both frequent get these communal velvet spiders in stock #i didn't even know there was a species of velvet spiders that can be kept communally #anyway now i'm rambling #tattoo #100% going to book my next tattoo with her again though

storyboards by Nassos Vakalis for an earlier version of Kung Fu Panda where The Five fight Tai Lung. previous iterations of the movie had an army of wolves (later used for Shen in KFP 2) and The Wu Sisters allied with Tai Lung. never seen these before so i thought i'd post them!

check out the artists website for more: Storyboardpage (nassosvakalis.com)
