hey since I just told a friend this and they found it helpful: if you’re having hallucinations and are having trouble distinguishing what’s real and what’s not, use your phone’s camera and take a picture of the thing you might be hallucinating. cameras don’t hallucinate.

Random Positive Post About Animation

There are SO many animated shows premiering recently and so many more to come and so many of them look so good too!!

Like… Big City Greens, Final Space and others have already gotten quite a following, and that’s great!

Speaking of, Final Space has announced a Season 2!! How cool is that!!

The official intro for Rise of The TMNT is now on YouTube, and it looks!!! So amazing!!! The animation is incredibly spot on and energetic, I was skeptical about the show at first but I am definitely watching it once it premieres

Thundercats Roar’s intro is like that too!! It’s really fluid and well-animated, and while I know many are still skeptical about it, I say we give it a fair chance. It’s definitely the most radical change from the typical Thundercats formula so far, but that isn’t really a bad thing on its own. I’ll be watching it, that’s for sure

Netflix, CN and Disney are picking up more and more series that will have the chance to have great, deep plots, from Infinity Train to Victor and Valentino, to Twelve Forever to The Owl House to Amphibia!! It’s so exciting, seeing shows follow the footsteps of the ones before them

In fact, while I was writing this I got notified that Netflix picked up a story-driven animated show written by AtLA’s headwriter, The Dragon Prince!! Judging from the short synopsis and this poster alone, it already looks and sounds superb 

And it’s also exciting to see all these networks acknowledging that maybe, just mAYBE… if you give people what they WANT… they will… LIKE it? They’re finally growing up!!

(All of these shows look amazing so far btw, and a few of these have pilots on YouTube so go check them out if you haven’t already!!)

YouTube is doing great stuff as well!! Emara is a 5-episode (so far) mini-series made in the Emirates of a kickass superheroine

Sonic Mania Adventures (also just a 5-ep. miniseries, sadly) has rightfully gotten very popular! Go check it out if you haven’t already it’s really great

And if you think only TV (and YouTube) animation is improving, think again!! Movie animation is taking a lot of leaps recently too!

First off: SPIDER MAN: INTO THE SPIDERVERSE LOOKS SO GOOD. It’s doing something that should’ve been done a long time ago: doing unique things with 3D animation!! As much as I love Disney and Pixar, a lot of the animation in each movie feels a little…. samey, but SM:ItSV (wow that’s a terrible acronym, whatever) is taking the concept of 3D animation and making it unique again!! The two trailers released so far show so much potential for this movie it’s CRAZY. Squash and Stretch, switching between 12 and 24fps to make the fast-paced scenes look more dynamic, 2D effects blended with the 3D, and the whole thing just

looks

so

GOOD

I could homestly write an essay on how excited I am for this movie, it has the potential to reshape 3D movies as we know it. And they’re finally getting Miles Morales a movie!! I’m so proud of him look how far he’s come

AND speaking of ITSV, Sony has announced they’re making a movie on Silk (Cindy Moon), a Korean-American Spider-hero!! That’s also great!! (and it means she’ll almost definitely appear in Into The Spiderverse, yay :D)

A Super Mario movie’s coming out in 2019! I’m pretty confident on it being good, I can’t imagine Nintendo NOT making something excellent for their posterboy

And the Sonic movie now has a release date and a general idea of what the plot will be about! It sounds… a little weird, admittedly, but it actually kind of sounds like it’ll be something fun, a small diversion from the typical Sonic formula. I mean, hell, Jim Carrey might play Eggman. That will be amazing to watch no matter how the movie ends up being 

It’s a time of advancement and change for animation, and one I am incredibly excited about. 

And so should you! 

MR. REYES DOESN'T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION

oKAY BUT GUYS MR. REYES GOT SQUIPPED TOO SO WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THAT:

-he probably becomes the Squip Squad’s favorite teacher

-he’s that kooky drama teacher that you can’t help but love anyways

-he becomes really close with them and gives them really important life advice for whenever they’re feeling anxious about the future 

-Mr. Reyes writes Christine a recommendation letter to the highest acting colleges bc he’s so proud of how far she’s come as an actress

-he signs all of their yearbooks with personal messages and gets emotional when he sees them graduate bc shit these students are like his kids to him -he becomes a father figure to not just Rich but also to Michael after he joins drama tech

-will spend hours at night doing research on where the kids would like to go to college because he cares that much for them and wants to make sure they feel ready and prepared to leave high school

-they bring him hot pockets every morning 

-he even comes up with a secret handshake with Jake after Rich bets that Mr. Reyes wouldn’t do it but he does it so he can see Rich lose a bet

-the kids secretly host a car wash to raise money and surprise Mr. Reyes with a trip to Broadway (at the car wash, Jeremy bakes, Christine sings while Michael is working her music, Jenna promotes the car wash by getting her thousands of Twitter followers to stop by, Jake and Rich are the sign spinners and get super competitive on who can bring in more customers)

-he’s tHAT ONE TEACHER WHO YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON AND LIKE THEY’RE PROUD OF YOU REGARDLESS OF YOUR FAILURES HE’S THE ONE TO PICK YOU BACK UP EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CANT GO ANYWHERE IN LIFE 

LIKE YEAH MR. REYES IS WEIRD BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT HE’D FEEL CONNECTED TO THESE STUDENTS LIKE “WOW I REALLY WANT THEM ALL TO SUCCEED AND I’M SO PROUD OF THEM” I’M SORRY I HAVE SO MANY EM O TI ONS

THAT PART IN “THE PLAY” WHEN JAKE SINGS, “I WAS ALREADY PRETTY BOSS BEFORE, NOW I’M TOTALLY BOSS AND THEN SOME MORE. I’M LIVING THE UPRAAAAAAAAADE.” REBLOG IF YOU AGREE.

I listened to Renegade when I sketched this ;P messy sketch is messy

My best friend found a bnha “Villain AU” fanfic that I actually liked. It’s written by @roguedruid and you can find it on AO3 and it’s called Hero Class Civil Warfare.

I was on the edge of my seat reading this, and the intermissions that involved the teachers were fun to read. Warning though: each student on the Villain side of the test have codenames, and at times the characters get called by that, their first names or their last names. So it can get confusing at times. But def worth the read!
