Monk And Surv Are Introducing Their Children To Each Other

Saint as a furby..?

I usually post art at about 5 am (in my timezone), but ehh, I'll post this a bit earlier.

I like talking to people :))

Things change, sure, but where my rage and grief go

нда, я теперь тоже

If you've seen WALL-E, I'd be extremely curious for your thoughts if you haven't already shared them. Actually, I have a few movies I'd love your opinion on, but I'm not gonna keep ya all day. Thank you for your content! :)

I love WALL-E. It's a cool idea, that the whole movie is about what it means to be human, but from the perspective of a robot.

I think it's very straightforward, and there's not a lot of stuff to analyze, which is good! He's this robot that's "developed a personality" but what he's really becoming is human.

And the movie is saying that being human is liking things, taking risks, being vulnerable, and most importantly taking care of things. As in, caring for things that need you. Even if it means you don't survive or get to be as comfortable.

WALL-E preserves the stuff he has an interest in instead of junking it, but remember, he takes care of that little cockroach. He carefully organizes all his things. He fixes what's broken. That's what humans were placed on Earth to do: have dominion over it. Take care of it. Cultivate the land, order the animals.

And instead we use it all to make ourselves more comfortable.

Not WALL-E, though! And he teaches that to everybody else.

The only things I struggle with, with WALL-E, are the repeated "Directive" themes. Like, what you're made for isn't what you should be. You could say WALL-E is all about being what makes you happy.

I disagree with that. That worldview is no good. What makes you happy changes from moment to moment, and it usually comes at the expense of other people and what you, yourself, need to be good and healthy. But you could argue that that's how the humans in WALL-E got to be blobs in chairs that abandon their planet, so my beef with those themes aren't very strong.

You could just argue that the narrative is saying, WALL-E, who was created to put waste in its proper place, is still doing that. He's just doing it in a deeper, better, more correct way than all the other robots. He puts waste in its proper place, but by doing that, he also protects the things that are worthwhile and shouldn't be wasted.

And in that same train of thought, EVE is so focused on collecting and delivering the one sign of life that makes Earth worth living for--that's her directive. But it turns out, WALL-E is the one sign of life that makes Earth worth living for, because of the example he sets. That example of finding joy in hard work and protecting things that are worth protecting.

I also think, if WALL-E were released right now, in 2024, it would not be well-liked or accepted. Because people would get their feathers ruffled by the idea that we're all headed toward being blobs who can't see past our own comfort. And they'd accuse the movie of "body shaming," that kind of junk. Then again, the same people who are worried about that are also worried about that great big topic we call "the environment," and WALL-E cleverly set itself up to be championing "the environment," so maybe it would've shielded itself. Either way, I think the movie was very brave to say, "yeah, hey, we're super lazy and self-satisfying and obsessed with our own comfort, and this is the dystopia it could lead us to."

And MO is my favorite.

And love, too. Anyway. Yes, I love WALL-E! And hey! Ask me about any movies you want! I don't get that many of these questions, and I really like thinking them through and trying to verbalize them, so please do! And thank you for this question.

u are all so so loved by me

Is it just me who sees this, or is LfL fandom sometimes forgetting what the point of the plot is?

Willy will never be Larry.

Never wanted to be him.

And probably wouldn't want to choose him as a cover.

The whole city knows about Larry and Willy. and they are ABSOLUTELY different. fundamentally. and this is, in fact, the point. that Willy screwed up. because I'm 100% sure that everyone who knows Larry would immediately know that it's not him. just because it's OBVIOUS. Willy simply didn't have the time or chance to change anything, he needed at least something, at least some kind of cover. and in a moment of common sense, he would never choose as the cover the person with whom every second citizen probably greets. even such a short-lived one cover, and it IS short-lived one. Guys, don't forget: this is cut skin. it will begin to rot and smell very tasty in day, maximum two days.😋

Willy has no desire to be Larry. there is no goal to take this life for himself. This is very dangerous and unprofitable for a terrible criminal who has escaped from prison.

combining them into one character is strange, just like seeing Larry as Willy (and most people draw Larry as Willy. I can’t blame them, it’s hard for me to move away from such a vision too, we are told throughout the game that this is “Larry”, but we even found out that they look completely different).

Wow I did not expect this take this long but uh I drew my favorite fucked up (and or evil) fictional robots/ai as Iterators weeeeeeee!!! I also doodled the protags of those medias as good ol slugs (minus Miles and Madeline) there’s some random concept doodles of em all under da cut

Anyways who would have the worst beef with Five Pebbles
