A 1968 photo I've had on my wall for a few years, after it had been on my parents' wall for decades -- and the same Kodak moment scanned from the original negative today.

now she’s all ready for spooky season—are you? 🌕🐺

(+part 2)

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

this is legitimately one of my absolute favorite pieces of animation of all time

when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet

I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.

PHEW.... just over a month of work but it's done 👏 As usual at the end I feel like a couple colors could have been changed but... I'm not doing this one again lmao

Okay! Due to (totally unexpected) popular demand:

Other cool things I have found during thrift shop escapades

mmm lye

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

So in one week it’s Valentine’s Day, and I am giving my girlfriend a framed map of Wisconsin. (Where she’s from, thus not a random thing.) I had to gather materials and slap this together myself...

Frame: Random religious print with good matting, 1990s.

Found at: Deseret Industries, $5.

Map: The Midwest States insert from National Geographic, 1973.

Found at: South Tacoma Antiques, $2.

Frame dimensions: 24″ H x 19.5″ W

Art dimensions: 17″ H x 13″ W

Also includes: Two tiny screws to hold the sawtooth hanger in place because the two staples it had looked unsafe; the backing paper was conveniently falling off (I used a pocketknife to pry it the rest of the way) so that was glued back on with Elmer’s Glue-All which came from a Goodwill Outlet bin (10 cents approx) once the frame was filled; there are two pieces of printer paper glued over the original art In Case; I pasted two blurbs from the map on the back -- NatGeo’s historical overview of the state, and a sidebar about how Wisconsin’s cheese is “milk granted immortality”.

They’re so silly

alright so during into the spider-verse's introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews -- however, i believe this is enough by itself). it's a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.

we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!

here we have gwen stacy's peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice -- in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn't make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker's ethnicity -- although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.

and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.

and y'know what? good call on that one guys.
