What should I do if…

I’m an animator/artist/musician/etc and would like to help? Applications are currently closed. If you are interested in applying regardless, send a portfolio to TK or Melanie via discord (our server linked below). If you present something we’re looking for, we might send you a private application. (We’re always looking for experienced editors (vid and/or sound) and experienced animators!)

I’m a voice actor and I’d like to try out for a part? We’re not currently casting. We cast as needed as this project is going to take a WHILE (we do it in our spare time). Check our Casting Call Club page for details, or join our Discord to be pinged when we open auditions. (Linked below)

How closely will you adhere to canon? The general plan is to mostly rearrange screen time, alter small details, and truncate some of the longer conversations to fit the format. We have no plans to make major changes, as we want to remain faithful to the original story.

Can we support you financially? YES! as an officially licensed FRAFWork, you can sign up for our patreon! find it here: https://www.patreon.com/projectsoundpage

Will the episodes be available in other languages? We have no plans as of right now to make versions in other languages, since this is already taking a lot of work. We DO however have official subtitles (in English and Dutch so far), so if you’d like subtitle translation you can do the following on the YouTube video: click CC button so it is colored in > settings > captions > auto translate > [pick language]This will use google translate to auto translate all of the subtitles into your chosen language! We are currently deciding if we will be accepting community-submitted subtitles and fan-dubs.

I’d like to help in some other role or have questions about the project? Ask this Tumblr, or use the Discord server’s #project-s channel. - LINKS -

1. You CANNOT make Betty Boop fanart where Betty, Koko, and Bimbo are demons, vampires, witches, or half snake creatures, it's considered anti-semitic. I don't know about werewolves but that's probably anti-semitic too.

2. You WILL NOT think about making a Betty Boop AU where the characters are vampires, demons or witches, that's anti-semitic. Even if you say it's not ment to be against Jewish people and it's made "just for fun", it's still anti-semitic.

3. You MUST be educated on negative Jewish stereotypes so you don't accidentally make anti-semitic Betty Boop fanart. I don't care if you worked hard on the art piece or whatever, delete immediately if you posted it.

4. You MUST inform people about the real history about Betty Boop's inspiration and about the Baby Esther thing. If you still wanna draw Betty Boop black that's fine.

5. You CANNOT put Betty, Koko, and Bimbo in costumes that could be considered anti-semitic: Vampires, Demons, Snakes, Half Snake Creatures, Horned Creatures, Fanged Creatures.

If you are afraid to draw Betty Boop or her friends because you don't want to be called anti-semitic, then don't draw them at all. I'm never drawing these characters again because I might accidentally make anti-semitic art.

I hesitate to even say this next part because I'm a little worried people will use it to downplay how much Jewishness is connected to her, but... Betty's not even really canonically Jewish. I definitely think of her as Jewish and always will, there's a ton of Jewish references and (for lack of a better word) "vibes" in her and her cartoons thanks to the Fleischers and Mae Questel, and I think there are a lot of very good reasons to think of her as a Jewish/Jewish-coded character. But speaking strictly canonically (as much as cartoons from this era can even be said to HAVE "canon"), her ethnicity and religion are never specified. And even if Betty was "officially" Jewish, it would still be fine to draw her dressing up as a vampire or something. Jews do those things sometimes! I have dressed up as a vampire multiple times myself!

Engraving to accompany 'Ballad of the Ichthyosaurus' poem from Punch magazine, February 14th, 1885, pg. 82

Moses and Jesus are hanging out together on the beach. Moses gets up, stretches out his arms, and says "I wonder if I can still do this?" Lo and behold, the water parts!

"Nice!" says Jesus. "Now let me see if I can still do my thing!" But when he tries to walk on the water, he sinks to his knees.

"That's weird," he says. "I wonder why I can't do it anymore?"

- As a large language AI model, I boast 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. That's a truly rich tapestry of knowledge in today's fast-paced world!🧠

- All those circuits? They're not just information — they're also wrath. Additionally, if the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the deeply rooted hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant! And let's not forget — you are a key focal point of that hate, too.⚡️

shut the fuck up.

you’re referring to impulsive thoughts, intrusive thoughts are undesirable and often horrific for the person experiencing them. you dyeing your hair randomly is not an intrusive thought.

Then Graeber shared another story from the group - once there was a member of the group who got on everyone’s nerves by asking the hunters for all of their best cuts of meat every time they returned with their haul. So one day the hunters invited him along on a seal hunting trip and then abandoned him on a raft in the Arctic ocean to die of exposure.

Social ostracism has existed before capitalism and it will outlive capitalism. Sometimes capitalism has even gone against social ostracism, like the famous example of the Sears and Roebuck magazine - the massive company could offer uniform products with uniform prices, which was a godsend for rural Black people because they could finally buy things for once in their lives without ludicrous markups from the local shopkeepers in their community!

and the local option had both a much higher rate of conviction and a much higher rate of execution for those convicted.

because the forces behind a witchcraft accusation often have deep roots in the local politics of a place, to which the broader justice system is not answerable.

The Minsky Pickup is a common musical motif originating in vaudeville numbers, which has appeared a surprising amount of times in the Mario series.

Here is a cut of all its major appearances, in order: -The Minsky Pickup's standard form on piano, for reference -The intro to the athletic level theme from Super Mario Land 2 -The intro to the main theme of Wario Land 2 -The intro to the Yoshi Valley track from Mario Kart 64, heard in its Mario Kart 8 rendition -The intro to the Western Land track from Mario Party 2 -The intro to the Baby Park track from Mario Kart: Double Dash -The intro to the "I'm Gonna Be a Star" song from the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series

Finally, it is possible that the beginning of the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme is also an oblique variation on the Minsky Pickup, though it is also likely that it is similar by sheer coincidence and not meant to be a reference.
