Oka, I plan on following everyone on tumblr

literally everyone

Jschlatt: ...

Wilbur: But if you were hit by a car, I would be the one driving it.

Phil: Why not?

Techno: I caught him training an army of raccoons again

Y’all released a 1 hr and 9 minute cutesy collection of Pooh Bear short stories about trying to find Eeyore’s lost tail on the SAME DAY AS THE FINAL HARRY POTTER FILM, of course it didn’t do well

AND y’all went up against YOURSELVES because Cars 2 had just opened like three weeks before and was very much still in theaters

You remember what came out literally one week after it?

And if you think 2D animation can’t look as good as 3D animation, there are 2D animated TV SHOWS that are on a lower budget than 3D animated movies that look fucking STUNNING. Let me list a few. 

Even if the story isn’t the best, Steven Universe’s animation is really beautiful and has such a nice style to it. The gems, the weapons, all of it just looks gorgeous. And have you SEEN the Other Friends animation?

Gravity Falls’s episode “Not What He Seems” aired five years ago, but it looks like it could have been animated today. The animation is absolutely stunning in every way. The lighting, the colors, everything. It’s just beautiful.

And have you SEEN The Owl House’s fight scenes? Those are entirely animated in 2D, but they’re so smooth and gorgeous! They look ten times better than the fight scenes in a lot of 3D animated movies!

And don’t get me STARTED on the Tangled The Series animation. It’s done entirely lineless, which is not easy, and it looks so good that there could be an actual camera recording it in real-time. I can’t describe how amazing it is in words.

Basically, I think it’s a bit unfair to try and completely disregard 3D animation as a tool and medium. I ABSOLUTELY agree that 2D animation deserves recognition and it’s deliberate exclusion in mainstream movies by Disney is a MASSIVE disappointment and is REALLY shitty. AND I agree that 2D animation has a MUCH easier time holding up than 3D animation.

HOWEVER, when 3D animation works to its strengths, there are plenty of examples of 3D graphics that do still hold up.

In video games, for example: Super Mario Galaxy released in 2007, but still holds up, as does Jet Set Radio and Catherine (though still a little rough around the edges). There are also plenty of YouTube videos and articles you can find that give other examples as well

For movies, I can see films like Spiderverse, Trolls, and Captain Underpants having a good chance at holding up in the future. They focus more on creating a unique visual style that fits their movie and are very stylized!

And even older 3D movies like Shrek and some of the Barbie movies look pretty good still, despite being almost or over a decade old at this point

Additionally—there’s recent examples of 3D and 2D animation being used TOGETHER for absolutely fantastic results, like in Land of the Lustrous or Promare

The main issue with 3D animated movies (+ video games) now is that plenty of companies care more about making a product that will work IN THE MOMENT, instead of trying to create something that will last. So hyper-realism, new technological marvels, and established tropes (like Disney’s sameface in its 3D movies) will be used in a shallow and easy to consume manner. It’s about the spectacle, instead of using these things as tools, carefully and sparingly.

It’s the same issue with CGI in many modern movies all but replacing practical effects. Plenty of these movies age like milk because they’re trying so hard to look realistic, but their CGI is basically left to do all of the work itself, which isn’t what it can really do. It should be used in tandem with other effects or stylized to mask the uncanniness (leaning into how not real it is instead of trying to trick the brain into thinking it is)

Jurassic Park is a well-used example of this. The film used a thoughtful combination of practical effects and CGI, working to the strengths of both to create a stronger whole.

I myself am ftm asexual and panromantic so oh boy does this shit get real…

I had a few people already say that “You can not be trans, its not biologically possible Blah blah blah” and all this bullshit. Same goes for the Asexual part, , that “its impossible because I was born a female” THEREFORE I for the tranaphobic and asephobic sense should fuck, get married and have little Satan spawns which I too never plan and wish on truly having.

This still counts as discrimination, I’ve read some of your comments people already and the minority of them is just plainly disgusting. How can you exclude someone or “compare them to you”?

You don’t know what their life is like, you don’t know if they struggle a lot or not. You are just going to say that because you are a fucking hypocrite who can’t accept that something that isn’t only gay for once gets a shade of reflector light on it.

Also if someone is Bi, Ace, Trans, rarier even Aro (…) and dating someone opposite gender, THEY are still considered to be in this community, just because they date someone who isn’t the same gender as them or something like that doesn’t mean they don’t belong here, y'all just being mean at this point.

Asexuals AND Aromantics are BOTH valid and precious gems to this community. At least they don’t need to preferably and constantly pick who to screw or be desperate to date someone. I don’t care about your bs about: tHeiR oNlY PrObLeMs aRe peOpLe hAtInG on tHe “I prefer cake” memes. No you stupid idiot. I don’t think rape threats and pushing people into stuff they don’t want to be in is considered a light problem.

Same goes for Non-binary, Poly, Omni, Polyamorous, Agender, Bigender and so on. They all suffer from different and similiar types of hate at some point in their life. For example, people who think, that real Polyamorous relationships are just threesome/foursome(..) fetishes are morons, this is false on so many levels, you can still love more than one person (while being with them at the same time when they all know about it, when they don’t, that’s cheating and you are a sick unfateful bastard if you can’t tell the difference) it is still valid just like all of the above and so on.

So please people, especially you, who just think that they are smarter than everybody else because “LGBT starts with 4 letter only!” Etc etc. Get this through your thick skull of yours and into your brain and just TRY to understand. If you don’t, that’s your problem, stop trying to overpower people because they are different. How would you feel if they did that to you huh? Oh right, they already do that? How sad, maybe then just think about other’s problems too before you comment some stupid disrespectful shit.

To all out there who are nice and supportive, I hope you’ll sort it all out and get better, to the straight allies, have a good life I suppose.
