Development art for an upcoming patron reward. One of the characters in the piece will be an anthropomorphic Fidget the Nimbat acting as an tactical operator. However before I start on the final piece I want to make sure that I understand what the patron wants for the character's design.
the hate on Taylor for being times most influential person is very politically based and in my opinion it’s wrong.
I find it weird as an adult people wait for celebrities and influencers to talk on political topics because? Well they aren’t really qualified and it doesn’t really change anything but please fans.
the people that we should listen to are politicians. Yes Palestine needs help but like? Taylor swift speaking out won’t change what’s happening there because they need a person in POWER to speak up.
in my mind the hate centered on her winning is crazy. Men are saying she should get ra*ed getting THOUSANDS of likes, people slut shaming her wishing she’d die… it’s horrible.
One of my biggest issues with that critique is that the Person of The Year is picked months in advance and parts of the interview for the profile were done prior to October 7. I didn’t see anything about people wanting Palestinian journalists being to be named when the shortlist was released on Monday. It’s like people are asking for the TIME journalists and editor board to time travel and make their decision. Even if they did pick something dealing with Palestine, they’d probably choose the IDF or Netanyahu given how Western media is still primarily supporting Israel even though they’re blatantly committing genocide. The work that Palestinian journalists are doing is brave, courageous and devastating, and unfortunately most of western media is refusing to show their work and bring attention to it when they should be.
I don’t know when or why we decided that we need to hear and know every single celebrity’s stance on every big political issue, especially when they most likely know nothing about it and are making a statement for the sake of optics. I agree with you anon and that the people we should care about knowing their stance is the elected officials who actually make decisions and have influence over these situations. I literally don’t think Taylor Swift making an Instagram story or post is going to change any politician’s minds or actually end any of the conflict; it won’t have any actual effect beside being a statement. Have the statements from any of the other hundreds of celebrities done anything to change the minds of politicians or impact policy?
People getting annoyed or mad at Taylor for something that isn’t in her control is seemingly becoming common place. I’m not sure there would be as much backlash if the title had gone to one of the world leaders on the shortlist, I’m sure there would be different kinds of backlash though. TIME picks the person or group based on the influence, positive or negative, that they had around the world during the year and as I said earlier, the western media only started paying attention to what was happening to the Palestinian people on October 7th and the days following.
An 11-part tv 'docudrama' series broadcast in East Germany from 1978-1980 all about Marx, Engels, their life and works ... A few years ago I decided to translate and write English subtitles for each episode, and finished episodes 1-7 before it was all unceremoniously pulled from youtube. Anyway here's the folder of what's left. It's quite an interesting historical artefact as well as a decent dramatised depiction of Marx's biography, and the music is freakish and incredible.
i cant exactly vouch for the quality/accuracy of these translations any more but since im probably one of the only people left with copies of these films i thought i might as well put them out there.
What are some REALLY funny/silly facts about some of your guys. If you need specifics, either anyone you're obsessing over or IAMOS guys.

- aiden can be interacted with like a shimeji including the commands for like sit or jump right n stuff but no matter what you try to make them do they almost always get out a crusty png of a bag of cheetos and start playing the most annoying sounds of crunching chips
- engels arc does make me want to sob but i also cant take it very seriously because its about them realizing they really did love and adore their wife and if vivian ever found out they were having breakdowns about her death she would never stop making fun of them. engel: i miss my wife so fucking much | the vivian haunting them: LMAO FUCKING CRINGE??? THATS SO CRINGE. FUCKING LOL. WHAT A FUCKING LOSER. GOD THATS PATHETIC. I WIN MARRIAGE FOR BEING THE LAST ONE TO ADMIT MY LOVE. LMAO.
- reverie is entirely aware of viola's true identity and the fact that she intends to take over the monster realm herself. this plotline has never really affected reveries own plans in any runs of the game so they really enjoy just walking up to her and revealing they know everything. so she'll be like having a mini monologue in the kitchen and reverie walks in like hey violetta hows the evil plans going, can you move i need the microwave for my popcorn. and she looks This close to killing them but too curious to actually do that so she kinda just stares at them. it is funny to them every time
- raid makes up some wild story every run of the game to convince their friends to help them on their quest for revenge on kazooie. the stories range from "he bullied me in middle school" to "he tricked me in among us and ejected me out the airlock and i cannot forgive him". whatever works to get the rival gamer club started. in every run, kazooie has never met raid before in his entire life raid is just making shit up to start a rivalry with a guy who literally doesnt know them

But there’s someone who isn’t thrilled with the direction things are headed, and she’s the one…
