Hey folks! Name's Casey. This is where I ramble about numerous video games, movies, anime, and books, AND a dash of politics/current events. I also do art and make merch sometimes!

A Gpose screenshot of my Elezen FFXIV character Calypso, riding on the back of a reindeer in a snowy landscape at dawn. A photo of 5 different wooden charms, each featuring different "kelptea" art of mine (kelpie plus tea). One of my Junicorn 2025 pieces, a kirin or qilin (basically a draconic-looking unicorn).

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

'Sleeping Beauty' flopped in 1959, leading to cutbacks of the animation department in favor of theme parks, to make animation production faster/cheaper. Much of the women were the Ink & Department, yes, but getting rid of women were not why the cuts were made.

Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you
A post from twitter with a screenshot from 101 Dalmatians. The caption says, “A lot of animation snobs will say that the sketchy linework of Disney movies in the 60s and 70s was sloppy and cheap, but man I adore it. The shifting outlines do just enough to remind you that every single frame of the movie was made by a human being.”

The Hanged Man card featuring Kavra, for @/auxanges on tumblr ✨
Hanged Man tarot showing an aasimar with gray hair and blue clothes falling, laurels in his hair and stars like freckles. Below, an abbey kind of creepy in vibes. The background is filled with flowers, blue poppies and white gladiolus, on a golden field of wheat. Above, a shepherd cane.

I don't think Walt Disney was a particularly good person or even a very good artist, but he WAS very willing to spend a shitload of money to develop art and technology to chase his impossible dreams and THAT'S what made Disney actually innovative and interesting.

A reminder to watch Wolfwalkers. A story about how childhood kindness and curiosity are at odds with the harsh and controlling world of adulthood, how beautiful and archaic nature is and how it needs to be protected and about the courage to find yourself even if that’s at odds with society

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

How we all create art and find meaning in it is as unique as a fingerprint.

In visual art, that fingerprint impression is called having "a style". It develops in 3 parts:
1) your influences
2) what you enjoy
3) your special brand of laziness
