I just watched Surfs up for maybe the second time in my life, and I think it's a highly underrated movie. if its not, I'm writing this in hopes I manifest more Surfs up appreciation in my life.

I think the movies animation is fricken beautiful ✨️✨️They drew so .uch inspiration from professional and novice surfers to get all the movements and stances correct, and they took footage of waves forming and crashing so they could get the most realistically animated waves they could, that coupled with the first hand testimonies of the surfers on how water acts I think they did a really beautiful job 🌊✨️

Does it pass the Bechdel test you may ask?

No. It does not. There are 2 women ( Edna Maverick, Lani Aliikai) and 1 little girl (Kate) in this story, and none of them talk to each other. The little girl does mention Lani, so it's known that they know each other, but they're never in the same scene.

Edna Maverick is Cody Mavericks (the main character) mom. A Rockhopper penguin whose species mates for life loses her husband to an orca whale right after her youngest son Cody is hatched. A single parent now raising 2 kids by herself, a young son hellbent on going against the grain and another son who bullies him for it in a community that shuns individuality. She's caught between wanting to be encouraging to her son while simultaneously not looking like an enabler to the rest of the town.

Cody Maverick is a young man with big ambitions stuck in a small town where community is the biggest priority. Although Cody works hard to hone his skills on his own he is labeled selfish and lazy by his brother and community for not volenteering all of his time for others. Despite being a social pariah. Abd the lCk of support from his family Cody doesn't let anyones disapproval of him dissuade him of his goals of being a great surfer.

I'm not going to do a review of every character, but I'll do one more as I find this character to be delightful and his wiki to be wild. 😁🐓

Chicken Joe!!! Hailing from Marion Ohio, Joe grew up surfing Lake Erie. In 2004, Joe found himself attending an online college course in Yuma, Arizona, and got an online associate degree in psychology from the University of Phoenix. He then moved back to Sheboygan in 2007, where he was picked up to be a surfer for the Tenth Annual Big Z Memorial Surf. (I didn't know he went to college or that college even exists in this universe until I read his wiki) Chicken Joe is the embodiment of the golden Retreiver best friend, just a guy happy doing his own thing 100% of them time and is stoked that you want to do them too. He's the kind of guy that will drive to pick you up from a scary situation if you gave him a snack once because he said he was hungry... how effective he'll be at saving you I don't know because he's not a very focused individual. he's got a heart of gold though and no one can tell me otherwise.

My sister told me today that if all spiders/ ants collectively around the world decided to devour the human race it'd take about 1 year.

So stop the world people, I wanna get off!

There's no place they cant get into folks and I'm not about to kill myself and have my entire skeleton stripped clean at the convenience of BUGS to "save myself" from the possible horror of being eaten alive!

So anyone who knows how I can make my own rocket very quickly so I can die in space like any norm and sane person I'd really appreciate the help.

Why isn't train technology further along in this county?? It used to be so big and booming back in the day but it's really stunted :/

if i tell you im overthinking,, invite me over to organize your tea packets 🙂‍↕️

•what if we led a species to Intelligence to a point we were able to have dual species society? Look at dogs for example, studies have shown(1) that dogs have developed a variety of facial muscles to communicate with humans which was most likely caused by preference breeding over many generations. Not only that but augmentative interspecies communication(aic) has gotten really popular with your average dog owner these days what with it being a pretty popular trend online. The popularity of such content has allowed for investigations(2) to be made that shows that dogs are able to respond appropriately to the specific words in their soundboards.

So if we keep this trend up pushing communication on dogs could we actually be capable of raising the canine conscience to the same societal level as us?

• If we did would we be good to them?
