Huskyboarding premiere! by Andreas Öst
together forever :)
what if we were little bugs holding hands encased in amber forever and ever :))))
prints available here :p
This gif contains what is probably my favorite background detail of Megamind. Megamind has just ordered Metroman’s death after trapping him in the copper dome. Of course, since it’s Megamind, it doesn’t work, and Metroman just stares at him. We learn later that Metroman faked his death, and used his super speed to wander around the town while having an existential crisis.
He first visits Megamind, having found his real hideout:
and then goes to the park, the library, a diner, etc, and finally, the Metroman museum:
before returning to the dome and faking his death.
Now, what’s really fun about the first gif is that, if you look closely, you can see Metroman fade slightly for two frames right after he rolls his eyes. If you look even more closely, you can see him in one frame standing behind Megamind, and in one frame on the upper deck of the museum. Look at it again. See the flicker?
I’ve slowed it down here to make them more obvious (though at the resolution it’s difficult to see him on the deck):
Screenshots, zoomed in a bit:
There is a bit of a continuity error, though. In the first gif, Metroman uses his superspeed while everyone is waiting for the death ray to work. But in Metroman’s retelling, he leaves while Megamind is yelling “FIRE!” to Minion. You can hear Megamind yell in this video:
So the fun of this detail is a little bit broken by the continuity error. But I think it’s an intentional continuity error, made at the points of drama in both scenes. I mean, look at this dynamic face that Megamind is making here. Pretty cool looking:
Anyway, there’s a fun fact about Megamind!
Yes.
They should take a cue from Discworld and give him a cameo in every Shrek movie from now on every time someone dies.
This is the best thing that could have come out of that.
For my personal reference.
To clarify: Works with my autism. WORKS WITH MY AUTISM!!! I’ve been meeting my goals since I made them my New Year’s resolution! Anyway I’m so sick of all those ‘how to’ guides that don’t actually tell you what the process is they’re just like ‘just do it, but don’t burn yourself out, do what’s best for you!’ because you’re not telling me what I’m not supposed to be burning myself out over but okay, so I made my own. Hope this helps
1. Choose your fighter metric. What works better for you as a measurement of your progress; time spent writing or your word count? Personally I get very motivated and encouraged by seeing my word count go up and making a note of where it should be when I’m done, so I measure by that. At the same time, a lot of people are also very discouraged by their word count and it can negatively impact their motivation to write, and in that case you may be better off working from how much time you spend writing rather than where the word count is
2. Choose your starter Pokémon time frame. How often can you write before it starts to feel like a chore or a burden rather than something fun you look forward to? Many people believe that they have to write daily, but for some people this can do more harm than good. Maybe every two or three days? Weekly? Figure out what fits your schedule and go with it
3. Choose your funny third joke goal. Now that you’ve got your chosen time frame to complete your goal in, what’s a reasonable goal to aim to complete within that time frame based on the metric you chose? If your metric is your word count, how much can you reasonably and consistently write within your chosen time frame? If your metric is time spent writing, how much time can you reasonably and consistently spend writing within that time? Maybe 1000 words per week works, or maybe 10 minutes per day? The goal here is to find something that works for you and your own schedule without burning you out
4. Trial and error. Experiment with your new target and adapt it accordingly. Most people can’t consistently write 1667 words per day like you do in NaNoWriMo, so we want to avoid that and aim somewhere more reasonable. If you feel like it’s too much to do in such a short time frame, either give yourself less to do or more time to do it in. If you find yourself begrudgingly writing so often that it constantly feels more like a chore than something fun, maybe consider adapting things. And if you think that you gave yourself too much wiggle room and you could do more than this consistently, give yourself more of a challenge. Everything needs to suit you and your pace and needs
5. Run your own race. Don’t feel like you’re not accomplishing enough in comparison to others or not working fast enough to satisfy some arbitrary feeling of doubt. Everybody works at their own pace and slower work doesn’t mean worse work. You could be on one word per day and you’ll still see consistent results, which is still one word per day more than you could originally count on. All progress is progress, regardless of its speed
I need it.
Okay, right- imagine Knock Out in Earthspark. Him and Starscream having their TFP disaster team up
I like wakfu, blender, marvel, random web series, and technology.
