Persistinghorrors - Macking Cheese In The Michael Wave

something about how in the wild robot, the golden gate bridge is deep underwater. and yet whales are swimming in the bay above it. something about the idea that climate change has come and yet the world is still alive and thriving, that there was still time to make it better, to fix what we could, to make things right. the bridge is underwater but the whales are alive and back. our cities went underwater but instead of pretending as though nothing had happened we learned to change and care for the planet we had left, realized it was not too late. that there was hope. learned to farm better, preserve what we could. leave the natural world safe. that we didn’t have to be merely aggressors but learned to coexist on our planet. that it will still be okay. something about that man idk.

Reblog this to place a small flower in the hair of prev, and that you're very proud of them

not being able to interpret tone (online and irl) is a double edged sword because not only can i not tell when someone is being sarcastic or joking and therefore assume everybody is joking all the time i can also not tell when someone is being deliberately mean to me, like i’ll be in bed thinking about the day’s social interactions and then realize someone was rude to me On Purpose just to be mean. and then spend the next three days wondering if they meant it.

reblog to bonk the person you reblogged it from with a hollow cardboard tube

one thing i love about portal 2 is the distinct difference in physicality between wheatley and glados. in the core transfer scene, glados, as she does, moves fluently, smoothly; seductively is a good word to describe it. you know how she is. then after wheatley takes over, despite using the same body, noticeably shifts from "I suggest you take a deep breath. And hold it." to "HARR HARR HARR I'M BLOODY FOCKEN MASSIVE INNIT" and i just love that so much. glados smoothly rotates around like a serpent and wheatley starts spinning circles and bouncing up and down it's just great

i had NO idea! credit where it is ABSOLUTELY due, i didn't even mention Wheatley's facial animation as well but it is beautifully done. all he has is a rotating eye, eyelids, a pupil that can expand or contract and some little handles at the top and bottom of his face, but his animation is still impressively emotive. it's really half of the charm of his dialogue honestly, puppeteering is already such a cool skill and it's even more impressive to do it digitally on this little fuck

ADDITIONAL addition: @meow-moment you're a PART of this post now you are FUCKING Correct

[ID: Reblog from @meow-moment that reads "i love in the scene where he tells you you have "a very minor case of serious brain damage" when his eye pops out a little and his handles flare out and it somehow looks like he's adjusting his glasses nervously]

there are a good few additions to this post I'd love to add to it but this one is like. NECESSARY. that is PRECISELY what that conveys and it's fucking magic how well it works. hats OFF karen prell
