animators fuck me up. if you asked me to draw something it would take every ounce of my life to complete this task. if you then asked me to draw it again a little to the left I would die

#why it takes me a few hours to make a 10-30 second shitpost animatic but its taken me 8 months to finish a 4 second animation w/ inbetweens #why ive never made an animation meme despite the fact animation memes are what got me into animating #I have a million animation ideas that aren't shitposts but could I ever make them actually animated? no lmao #I CAN MAKE THE SHIT MOVE BUT IF YOU TELL ME TO MAKE IT *MOVE* ILL DIE 💀 #FUCK INBETWEENS!!!!

the key difference between lena and elias is that elias would force the archival team into doing awkward team building exercises like trust falls whereas lena would rather shoot herself

Thoughts on the trans Alice (mtf) and Sam (ftm) headcanons? :)

I tend to steer clear of canon discussion and avoid head-canons as much as possible since I don't really believe in the author-as-authority thing. That said, just to be clear, the character Alice Dyer is canonically trans.

#y'all really thought alice being trans was a hc??? #it was everything but stated in canon lmao #glad it's confirmed tho no more questioning 💥 #diversity win! one of the people experiencing the horrors™ is a trans woman! #tmagp

Hello, Mr. Gaiman!

Out of pure curiosity, did you and Sir Pratchett decide to have Aziraphale seem very gay for any particular reason or just because it’s a funny concept? (Just because conceptually, Aziraphale, an angel that looks and acts like that, is hilarious)

Thanks so much!

(Thank you and kudos for writing all those books btw. Quite nice really)

Because that was the character we were writing. We didn't go "wouldn't it be funny if people read Aziraphale as gay-coded" we went "so our angel owns a rare bookshop and will look and behave like this, which means people will probably read him as gay, and he'll be really clever, etc".

A murder mystery film set in a medieval village. After an outbreak of plague, the villagers make the decision to shut their borders so as to protect the disease from spreading (see the real life case of the village of Eyam). As the disease decimates the population, however, some bodies start showing up that very obviously were not killed by plague.

Since nobody has been in or out since the outbreak began, the killer has to be somebody in the local community.

The village constable (who is essentially just Some Guy, because being a medieval constable was a bit like getting jury duty, if jury duty gave you the power to arrest people) struggles to investigate the crime without exposing himself to the disease, and to maintain order as the plague-stricken villagers begin to turn on each other.

The killer strikes repeatedly, seemingly taking advantage of the empty streets and forced isolation to strike without witnesses. As with any other murder mystery, the audience is given exactly the same information to solve the crime as the detective.

Except, that is, whenever another character is killed, at which point we cut to the present day where said character's remains are being carefully examined by a team of modern archaeologists and historians who are also trying to figure out why so many of the people in this plague-pit died from blunt force trauma.

The archaeologists and historians, btw, are real experts who haven't been allowed to read the script. The filmmakers just give them a model of the victim's remains, along with some artefacts, and they have to treat it like a real case and give their real opinion on how they think this person died.

We then cut back to the past, where the constable is trying to do the same thing. Unlike the archaeologists, he doesn't have the advantage of modern tech and medical knowledge to examine the body, but he does have a more complete crime scene (since certain clues obviously wouldn't survive to be dug up in the modern day) and personal knowledge from having probably known the victim.

The audience then gets a more complete picture than either group, and an insight into both the strengths and limits of modern archaeology, explaining what we can and can't learn from studying a person's remains.

At the end of the film, after the killer is revealed and the main plot is resolved, we then get to see the archaeologists get shown the actual scenes where their 'victims' were killed, so they can see how well their conclusions match up with what 'really' happened.

#sounds amazing

I think people going about Jon being in the therapist office are forgetting the very important part that they were in a place for court-ordered therapy. We don't have the insane take of a version of Jonathan Sims that seeks help we have a version of Jonathan Sims that somehow commited a crime and was forced by law to finally go to therapy.

By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.

Voting abstinence/sabotage does not absolve us of our responsibility to do everything in our power to lessen harm, but it DOES show that when our personal morals aren't satisfied, we retreat into (imperialist, this time) privilege to 'wash our hands' of the situation and declare it's not our fault and it's not our problem.
