my discord server :]

my very small tagging system:

#aster rambles - me talking

#aster shitposts sometimes - me talking except i’m trying to be funny

#aster rambles in tags - me talking a lot in the tags of a reblog

boundaries and things

dni if you’re here to be rude or start discourse. this especially includes aspec exclusionists and terfs. also nsfw blogs please leave (sideblogs are fine, just don’t interact with me from there).

i am a minor. if you’re uncomfortable with minors interacting and i followed you, please let me know. or just block me. i won’t notice or care /g

there’s more of this kind of stuff in the carrd but those are the big ones

also important: i wouldn’t consider myself a part of the dsmp fandom anymore, but i was for a while, so i still reblog art/content from it occasionally and support most of the content creators. so if you’re a hardcore dsmp anti, maybe don’t follow.

Here's to the autistics who are "way too aggressive". Here's to the autistics who get angry easily. Here's to the autistics who are impulsive. Here's to the autistics who have destructive meltdowns. Here's to the autistics who's anger ruins friendships/relationships. Here's to the autistics who can't control their emotions. Here's to the autistics who are bitter and mad. I see you, I love you (platonically), and I hope you have a great day.

why have us queer people as a community normalized terms like "boygirl" or "girlboy" or other things like that but not like. the actual experience of being multigender. i swear some people will be like "ahaha its so cool and swag to be a #girlboy #boygirl" then turn around and be like "MEN DNI THIS POST IS ABOUT WOMEN" "MEN CANT BE LESBIANS (because no man is ever a woman too)" etc etc like come on guys

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S FIRST FILM SOLELY PRODUCED BY THEIR STUDIO HAD TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS AS THEIR ANTAGONIST AND PROTAGONIST WHO, BY SOME FORM OF DEVIL MAGIC, HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FACES

image

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.

image

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER

image

REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.

image

also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate

image

if a studio with 20-30 years of experience can manage this then SURELY an established studio with NEAR 100 YEARS of experience can maybe, just maybe, include a female that ISN’T a part of their formula

I feel the 16ft tall skeleton from Kubo certainly deserves a mention

Laika are goddamn ARTISTS and MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT. Look at the animation on Kubo and tell me it doesn’t feel more like CGI than stop motion sometimes because it’s so smooth.

I love them so much.

lazyartist04

Wait wait wait… Kubo was STOP MOTION?!?!?

Yup.

I mean obviously all of Laika’s movies have had some effects added afterwards, because there’s some things you really just can’t DO in stop motion (like falling snow, for example), but all of their films have been stop motion.

I don’t know how to embed videos successfully, but there are some REALLY cool behind-the-scenes stuff for Kubo that you can probably find if you look on youtube. :)
