I just love the word sarsaparilla

A few months ago, I said on this blog that in my head PJO is an anime with a badass opening credits. I meant it quite literally, like I can actually picture this OP in my head, with all the shonen tropes like Percy walking around pretty backgrounds, cool fighting scenes with lots of camera movements and huge statues of the Gods standing ominously in the background, Nico standing in the rain till Reyna and Hazel and Jason come for him and a ray of sunshine breaks throught the clouds and light hits his hopeful face, GIMME ALL THE TROPES hahaha. Doing the whole opening would be impossible for a single person but I really wanted to try one big “shonen” group shot, so here you are !!! This actually took me AGES, I’m not kidding, the folder for this on my computer is named “batshit crazy ” for a reason, it may not look like it if you don’t know animation but a really huge amount of work went into this. I think it’s actually the biggest thing I ever did for a fandom. I can’t say how many hours I spent on it since I didn’t count, but let’s say I started this in September and spent a lot of week ends and most of my Christmas holidays on it, and I just finished it this week. I had a lot of fun though !!! And I learned a lot too, this was my first time trying to animate japanimation style, with not many in-betweens and ultra dynamic poses. So yeah, I hope you guys will like it !

I want to thank fimyuan and bisexualjason for keeping me motivated with their lovely comments through the project, even when I was complaining about my own decisions to animate friggin’ skeletons, hahaha. Another big thank you to my friend Wekake who went through the animation frame by frame and spotted all the little compositing mistakes that remained ;p

like thats the reason why they’re good at herding cattle. bc they’re little sasuages that can evade hooves and go back to charging and leading the cows. they’re amazing look at them go

they’re only 1 foot tall and are the smallest dog in the herding group 

they’re in the spitz family which means that one of the corgis closest relatives is the siberian husky. like. huskies and corgis are cousins as far as dog breeds go. let that sink in. a sled dog is the taller cousin of this 1 foot tall cow herder

its a common belief that vikings had corgis and traveled w/ them. like. actual vikings had these tiny, little sausages aboard their ships just bc they liked them so much, and if that isnt the cutest thing

 it was a law in ancient wales that u couldnt steal someones corgi and if u did u’d get fined

welsh legends say that corgis were used 2 pull fairy carts and were like, service dogs for fairies and if that isnt the mOST AMAZING ThINg

MOST corgis are born w/ out tails bc after years and years of tail docking, they’ve evolved to become tailless, BUT

here is a corgi as we know them, without a tail:

aaand heres a corgi w/ its tail:

Finished Craig’s broute a while ago and it’s just so hard to get over him and his butt so I can date other dads smh

bonus scribble of my dadsona Steve, dadding

‘Overwatch’ fan Chris Guyot created adorable, minimalist animations of the game’s heroes

its just like. when you make stuff where the intended audience is transphobes and homophobes you. you make money. and yeah you’re a monster but you… still make money. you make stuff where teh intended audience is trans people and gay people and you have like one small not great thing and your whole audience leaves. shitty tv shows can piss off every gay in the world and still turn a profit. stuff made for gay people is always so in danger of flopping. its not safe to create work with the intention of uplifting lgbt folk because of this hypercritical eye. im not saying like. ignore problematic elements, im not saying dont work towards doing better, but, like, we cant keep expecting and demanding perfection and we cant keep saying like, uhhhhh did you know one of the voiceactors in that cartoon was an asshole? you’re not allowed to like that show anymore

there’s a BIG difference between media that has problems that you want to improve and FIX those problems and media whos problems are so bad you just want it to end
