All my coworkers might have all seen the same shows but I can quote most of "The Champions" by Bleachers Report and McLaren's "Tooned"

third life winner Grian, sun-kissed and sand-caked, lightly battered, slightly bloody, having just won the series, guilt-ridden with scar's blood still dripping from his knuckles, teetering on the edge of the mountain, choking out apologies to the sky.
secret life winner Scar, regaining his memories from pervious seasons, walking through third life like a hazy mirage, a cape embroidered with lilacs and roses hanging from his shoulders.
He finally sees Grian in the desert light for the first time in years, the fondness and heartbreak hitting him all at once. He frowns as Grian cries and sobs, muttering apologies and regrets to the empty space around him.
Scar is unable to reach for him as he takes that final step off the ledge.

I don’t use tape when I paint, and part of it is because I’ve always lived in old houses, and old houses always have crooked lines and weird old textures and usually taping creates a false sense of security so then the paint gets slopped on and it creeps under the tape and it’s a bigger mess than if there was no tape.
That and I’m impatient and I always want to get to the good part and taping is soooo tedious. SO tedious.
Anyway, this room is so full of color and I’m so in love with it.

Man. Now that I think about it
It’s a bit strange (albeit completely natural) how much we love actors, know their names, love their performances- they’re celebrities. And yet the same is rarely the case for animators who MASTERFULLY build a character around that performance. Along with actors, their contributions are ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.
For most people who like King Candy- it’s common sense to know he’s voiced by Alan Tudyk. He’s in a ton of things, and he’s a GREAT actor.
But that’s only half of the performance!
Can you name King Candy’s animator off the top of your head? Because I sure couldn’t.
Zach Parrish is credited as King Candy’s animator- he was supervising animator for Wreck-It Ralph and also head of animation for Big Hero 6
Animators carry so much weight with their beautiful work, it’s astonishing. It’s what we SEE when we WATCH THE MOVIE.
And this is only ONE guy out of a hard-working team of visual artists. WE NEED TO APPRECIATE THESE PEOPLE MORE!!!!!! ❤️❤️

I'm looking to start a band and we can work on the colors of the Sky song if anyone is interested and has musical talents let me know because I've been dying to make a band and I think that this is the perfect song for a Tumblr created band
ooooohh wait if this actually happens please oh please let me know so I can promote it !
and idk who you are anon, but I’m hoping anyone interested reblogs/comments on this and you’re able to find them, because a Tumblr band would be ICONIC
i mean, yes it’d possibly be really cursed and maybe a total disaster, but ICONIC nonetheless

got the tldr of the vid that I'm Not Watching All That & somewhat amusing how the straw breaking the camel's back for people over James Somerton is his blatant and unashamed plagiarism (as it should be genuinely i don't think you can nor should recover from this) like he hasn't regurgitated for years vile, unempathetic, ahistorical and Purely Just Wrong information about gay history including about the fight for legal same-sex marriage in the US and the AIDS crisis. like an alarming amount of people truly heard his ass say "all the good fun funky artistic and radical gays died of aids and all those who were left were unfun stuck-up prudes and conservatives also the fight for legal same-sex marriage was an assimilationist ploy by the latter who just wanted big gay weddings" as if the gay men who survived the epidemic didn't literally lose lovers and friends and entire communities and long-term partners who they shared a life with and who were denied any crumb of this previous life at their death because there was no legal recognition for same-sex cohabitation and unions and their homophobic family could tear everything from the surviving partner thanks to this lack of recognition and let it slide.
some people out there were truly so eager to shit on the boring assimilationist prude gays who survived aids by being stuck-up prudes and who just wanted "big gay weddings" they made up in their minds to get mad at that they turned their brains off and let it slide. they could've used their smoothed-out brains for ONE minute & found out that surviving took 1) plain boring luck and 2) radical, loud, proud gay activists campaigning for safe/safer sex and the information campaigns they led, as well as the protests and demonstrations they undertook to make the government fucking care for once. and that legally-recognized unions [be they civil or religious] were a matter of survival for the partner left behind. some people out there truly let a business major with a turtleneck (possibly the definition of boring) passing himself off as cool and radical and an intellectual tell them homophobic bullshit. and did not blink. like OF COURSE this guy's gonna be a plagiarist. he needs to get his information from SOMEWHERE. because when he tries to formulate his own stuff it's complete fabrications or the frankensteining of multiple sources that he manages to misunderstand/misrepresent threefold over. trying to fit a knit sock over the foot with the inside out and wonder why that itches.
i know many people in his audience are likely very young and also likely american and as such did most of their growing up in a world where their country (1 out of 195. give or take.) had legalized gay marriage but i cannot even begin to describe 1) how Young legalized gay wedding is, even in ""the west"" and 2) how many. other countries there are. my country legalized same-sex marriage before the US did. i am not even 25 and i still remember the hordes of catholics marching down the streets chanting homophobic slogans, implying the only reason two mommies or two daddies would want to raise a child together is for nefarious, vile purposes. i still remember families having to drag their asses into court to argue that, yes, a woman who raised a child for its whole life with another woman she's in a long-term committed cohabitated relationship with should have the right to be considered a direct guardian even if she's not biologically related to the child, and spending thousands of bucks having to argue their case in court. this might be shocking to some, but there are countries where homosexuality is punishable by death. in others, not by death, but by imprisonment. in others, not by imprisonment, but by ""medical intervention"". in others, not by ""medical intervention" but by fines. and in some others still, you can be gay (yay!) but you still cannot get married or civil-unioned, and the very same shit that was discussed in the 80s is still discussed now. the right to stay a guardian of your partner's child if your partner dies or is ill, so the kid does not go into foster care. the right to inherit your partner's property according to married rights instead of having through long annoying time- and money-consuming legal processes. the right to arrange your partner's funeral or have a say in their medical choices if they're incapacitated instead of their (potentially homophobic) families.
like We Are Not There Yet. we are not in a world where any homosexual can truly, fully, wholeheartedly assimilate, whether you consider it a good thing or not. fun gay artists and boring uninteresting gay office workers die the same death that we all do. the one you don't wake from. and guess what. all types of homosexuals, regardless of which ones you pick and choose to be mad at, are affected by homophobic legislation. not just the ones you think should be spared because they're oh so fun. and oh so radical.
donate to the rainbow railroad org if you can. they help LGBT+ people escape state-sponsored violence. a singular nail on one of their members' hand does more activism and real-life good than any mfer making video essays could do in his entire life.

as someone who likes watching secret life smp but a) doesn’t interact with fandom and b) isn’t caught up, I love seeing all the dramatized art on my dash and having to guess what happened. ok so Mumbo probably died a few times based on this sad song art of him. cleo and etho are there based off of this very cute shitpost art but it tells me nothing. grian might not be having a good time but this very dramatic fanart full of fire isn’t super clear so I don’t know for sure, maybe he’s having fun? there’s like 20 of Lizzie’s dumb poem from ep 1 alone and I can’t tell how she’s doing. what do you mean scar fought a wither
