Having a middlespace moment (spring-cleaning my room and finding a bunch of stuff from high school)

Y’know, sometimes you just wanna draw a pretty unicorn. #mecha #conceptart

Doodling with the Warhammer Fantasy High Elf on the mind.

I will say that wǔxiá and medieval Irish literature do go in some similar directions. The Wooing of Emer (c. 900 CE) has Cú Chulainn sent to a foreign land (Scotland) to learn martial arts and receive a superpowered spear, and getting into romantic drama with every woman he meets.

Edward Said (coined #Orientalism) states the importance of WB Yeats' Celtic Revival for Ireland to gain cultural independence from british empire. But his 1993 "Culture and Imperialism" collection shoes he himself was unaware of Irish Orientalism that had turned Hinduism, Noh into "Celtic Spirit"!

LRP God, that fucking Zeta Gundam proposal... It's sexist to boot and says that women's "protective instincts" make them worse pilots than men, and that their genetic destiny is to be helpmeets.

Yoshiyuki Tomino has stated that in-setting, UC Gundam's space colony plan was israeli sponsored so they could claim more land as israel, but this would "never show on TV". Tamaki Saito (psychologist, coined hikkikomori) says Palestine was an inspiration of UC Gundam. Anime academic Eiji Otsuka too

Shirow manga Batou is a big goofball.

Mamoru Oshii was going to make the next Lupin III movie (recommended by Hayao Miyazaki) with Amano art direction, Anno animation. Was cancelled, ideas became -Angel's Egg (Lupin steals angel fossil) -Patlabor (Babel Tokyo) -Ghost in the Shell (depressed Lupin finds out he's not real, but a cartoon)

On the Delfino Airstrip in Super Mario Sunshine, there is a Strollin' Stu that is doomed to walk off the pier and die 14 seconds after the level loads. However, by moving quickly enough, it is possible to reach him before this happens and divert him from his path, saving him.

New 2025 greyscale tones for early 2011-12 Theos KE Polemos shettier small arms pencil thumb design roughs (of finished designs that were posted back then) I have not posted before. From external HD file archives.

One shoulder hand or arm that's a different stark color is the coolest color scheme.

Thank you to everyone whose support lets me do drawings like this

The weapon to surpass Solid Snake - Metal Gear Mongoose. A further development of Gekko, designed for a singular purpose. The intended target died of old age, leaving the robot relatively useless. Not a mech, despite the little arms, @osgpod.bsky.social #miniaturepainting #plamo #inq28

Back in 2021, Hyundai released some concept vehicle art of the Tiger an autonomous 4 wheel legs mecha. They call it an Elevate Ultimate Mobility Vehicle (UMV) and an earlier version was shown 2020.

Wonderful to watch Howl's Moving Castle on the big silver screen again. First time I watched it on release it was the romance. This time the flames of war is what really struck me. There was a Lao Fuzi exhibit nearby too. The marketing crew from Japan did interviews after viewing.

Satan / Iblis إِبْلِيس in the style of a Buddhist Bodhisattva or Hindu Deva, 1923 edition of the mega-hit 1782 "Gothic Orientalist" novel Vathek. Writer William Beckford collected Indian, Chinese art, owned Yuan dynasty porcelain that 14c Mongol/Chinese gave to the king of Hungary on their way to Rome

She is their Elon. Harry Potter should be seen with the same scorn as Teslas or Cybertrucks.

hell yes, the Earthsea cycle occupies at least 40% of my all-time top ten books. will be passing the quartet to my eldest when they're just a little older.

Thinking about Halo and I just wanted to say: critical support to the Outer Colonies in their national liberation struggles against the fascist UEG. Death to Carver, death to Halsey

lowkey i forgot how absolutely stupid halo 1's campaign is. a bunch of scifi military jargon is the premise as John Action Hero to go kill some aliens because War and then there's some zombies and also an evil robot so you to save universe by doing cool action stuff.

Trans people now have to live our lives in a way so diabolically cool and glamorous that the children and grandchildren of the elite bourgeois throng to become us. Their nightmare is that we steal their future. We haven't yet begun to try.

#1C000LEST #5: Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella In which Rihanna crushes her interview for the job "most iconic pop singer of her generation." I wasn't paying attention to pop at the time. I couldn't tell you a damn thing about any other #1 hit of 2007. But this? This I knew by fucking heart.

HELP MY GIRLS OUT THEY NEED IT!!!!!

it's that easy

This is the reason this comic by @zachweinersmith.bsky.social lives rent free in my head forever. The further we depart from weirdos hanging out to talk about stuff they're interested in, the further we turn university into a pointless certificate mill. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/libera...

That period where people were seriously scared of The SJWS was such an embarrassing goddamn time. Even people who pretended to be normal most of the time would mutter darkly about how The SJWS are Going Too Far. The name didn't even make sense. It was literally something Steve Bannon Cooked Up.

There's a good chance Easter Bukele is stalling because he knows Garcia is already deceased. His palms are sweaty. Knees are weak. Arms spaghetti.

Even when the Freeze Peach gang complain about right-wing attacks on speech, they always frame it as "My god -- they're almost as bad as those SJW woke mobs!"

Hala needs your help!

Reposting one of the best things to come from that website with alt text (original typos included)

I've said it before and I will say it again - the fact that people don't realize Disco Demolition night was an attack on the intersection of black people and LGBTQ+ people? That's a failure on the Left.
