an image is drawn of two girls hugging so close together that one girl who is far smaller than the other is almost suffocating on the other girls chest. she’s visibly hugging her smell and completely suppressed by the other girls aroma and strong hold

The thing about Grant Morrison that it took me way too long to realize is that they are dumb as hell.

Doesn't mean they haven't done some good comics or had some good ideas, but SO much about them and their work clicks into place when you realize "Ohhhhh they're *stupid*!"

Lol, fuck off Grant

Grant Morrison made AI art of my cat, which I suppose isn’t copying someone’s style, but it’s still fucking weird, and the only reason I’m not kinda upset about it is that they also magically rescued her when she got out.

The thing is, the makings of an infinitely better show are in there. If they had more time and budget.

2013: Evangelicals: "We're going to use feminist sounding language to separate the T from the LGB, to ultimately ban abortion."

2014: UK 'GC' groups spring up overnight, with anon donations.

10 years of anti-trans activism.

2025: The British Press: "OMG, evangelicals are trying to ban abortion!"

They probably also operate as a sub-division of Starfleet's sciences division for long term planetary operations, exploring and surveying the oceans of alien worlds.

I mean, there's no real reason not to use boats anymore when you have starships. Probably do various forms of survey, rescue, patrol, etc. when needed.

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 1d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Funnily enough, the background cels on the original He-Man and She-Ra were some spectacular environmental art and have their own ongoing fandom.

Can't fault it for loyalty to the original.

The sad thing is that some western companies were clearly on their way to managing something decent, but capitalists didn't wanna fund it. Partly because it was cheaper to do 3D animation due to lower unionisation.
