So the thing we all know sucks, sucks. What an amazing revelation.

For whatever reason I am making a video basically nobody could possibly be interested in and pouring my heart and soul into it.

If it gets 500 views, 3 likes and 1 comment, I'll count that as a win.

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this MAGNIFICENT animation, by the talented James Baxter! Note how each of the THREE SECONDARY MOTIONS are slightly OFFSET to emphasise different parts of the action: HAIR jumps UP, SKIRT billows DOWN, RIBBON wraps ROUND! #anime #2danimation #animation

Yes everyone, I've seen that Blokees is doing a Scyther kit. It's very exciting, my favorite Pokémon has never had a proper articulated figure before.

There's also no US distribution for this toyline and importing things to the US is getting harder, I am NOT going to enjoy getting one.

Stumbled across this pic of Prime from Ultraforce on eBay and I'm just gonna keep it in case someone asks me how I am on a bad day.

It's so strange how the first combo figure of Skeletor and Megatron worked so well, and they just couldn't figure out how to amalgamate any of the others into something aesthetically pleasing or all that cohesive.

Spike Prime @spikeprime.bsky.social · 8h

I've seen a lot of people hype this figure up, and I just don't get it. IMHO, this is a mediocre toy of a bad design which doesn't do a particularly great job of Studio Series' central mandate of screen-accuracy.

It's okay, but I don't get why it gets glazed.

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Damnit, I forgot you have to tick that setting which makes sure you can't post without alt text on every device individually.

Whose stupid idea was that? Why doesn't it just apply to our BSKY account and not to the device?!

Saw a post on tumblr that said “Think I need a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".” So I drew this 🖊️🦑

Ahh, two of the most clowned-on scenes in all of Superhero media.

That said, it's not without good reason but maybe the jokes should be laid to rest by now.

NGL, I don't mourn its loss.

The Rise of Skywalker was so bad that it killed any enthusiasm I may have had for any of those characters. I've zero interest in seeing any of them again.

According to DC Fontana, who wrote many Trek episodes, Vulcans can and do mate whenever they want throughout their lives. It's just that the Pon Farr is the inescapable urge for males to return home and mate at that point in their life cycle.

Even that episode backs her up.
