After setting up automatic payments for my student loans it struck me that if every person that follows Papillon were to donate $.25 a month, then they would cover the monthly payments, and leave almost $60 for food.
Random thought.welp, time to give you a quarter
There is no need. It’s a random thought, not something I plan on encouraging.

People, or at least Tumblr, have a tendency to attack Disney on character design more than other companies. Ghibli often reuses character designs among female protagonists, not all the time but often. Disney does the same thing, but they’re the ones who get bashed.
Dreamworks almost never uses non-white characters, while Disney has touched most ethnicities in the last 2 decades, but it was Disney that was slammed when it portrayed northern European settings as being predominately white in population (Frozen vs. HTTYD2).People getting upset about a character is one thing. People looking at and for flaws is one thing.
Going after a single company for doing something that is fairly commonplace in the industry, while completely ignoring the very same issues from opposing companies. Completely disregarding characters, and the works of designers and animators because of similarities in design, and leaving the judgement solely with the design without regard for the aspects that /should/ be what defines a character above all else. Deigning a property unworthy of attention because of one member of a diverse cast being similar to those of previous works, months before anything else is seen of the property. That is another thing entirely.As an artist, as a writer, as a critic, and as a person, it is that thing that makes me mad. It’s not the judgements themselves, but their focus and their cause that makes me livid.

hmm, lets go with; 9, 53, and 70!
9. Shoplifted?
No, and I work retail so I don’t take kindly to shoplifters.
53. Smoke cigarettes?
Nope. I think smoking is disgusting, and the act tends to knock even close friends a few pegs down in my eyes. My dad was a heavy smoker when I was growing up, and it very nearly killed him, just as it did my aunt.
70. Sleep naked
Nope. I’ll usually have a shirt and undershorts on when I sleep. -

Transformers: Age of Extinction Review
Michael Bay is back to destroy a childhood franchise. Except he’s not. Kind of. It depends. The film definitely bears a strong resemblance to its predecessors, but at the same time feels fairly new due in large part to a changed human cast, a reworked Autobot cast, and a general shift in tone.
Spoilers. -
One of the best examples of artistic integrity on a corporate scale.
wow.
No matter how many times I see this, I never fail to be impressed by that last sentence.
More of this please.

Big Hero 6 doesn’t come out for months, yet the drama surrounding it is already pissing me off. We’ve seen ONE PICTURE of a character, one picture in which said character’s head is partially covered and people are in an uproar because the facial model looks similar, or even identical, to that of Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa. Because of this, there are already shouts that Disney is being lazy and recycling models.
It’s one picture.
We haven’t seen this character in motion. We haven’t heard how she’s going to sound, or seen how she’s going to act. All that people are going off of is one picture of one character out of a cast that is arguably the most diverse and dynamic in Disney’s animated history.
I don’t know how long Disney has had Big Hero 6 in the works, but given the past few animated movies and the space between them I really don’t think it should be as big of a deal as it is being made out to be. This film is coming out within a year of Frozen, which came out within a year of Wreck-it-Ralph. All of that is from the same studio. That models are being reused on certain characters within movies that are released within one year of one another should be understandable, especially by artists who work to put out consistent works.
Could Disney have made a new face model for Anna/Elsa, or for this new character? Yes. Does it make them lazy that they didn’t? No. Why not? Because the characters SHOULD NOT BE DEFINED BY THE STRUCTURE OF THEIR FACES OR SHAPE OF THEIR BODIES.
If you want to be mad and complain about Big Hero 6, then that’s fine. Please, save it for after we’ve seen more of these characters, or better yet for after the god damn movie comes out.Welcome to Tumblr, where the facts are made up, and the points in an argument don’t matter.
Come on, amigo, lighten up. Let people complain and lower their expectations for the movie, so when it comes out, they can be surprised by its charm and wit, and then you can poke fun at them when they start trying to defend their movie.
I mean, seriously. How many people thought Frozen was gonna suck, then immediately hopped aboard the fandom express? How many people jumped off when they saw how many others were jumping on the train?
It’s how fandoms and movies work, dude. We complain, then complain about the complaining, then go to the movie. After that, it goes to, “Everyone hates” or “Everyone starts hating the people who love it because they love it in a way that annoys the piss out of everyone”. Or you’re one of the ones who love it. Who cares? Just crack open a cold one and enjoy the way people will argue about something that doesn’t have a strong enough foundation to argue for.
Hell, I’ll admit I enjoy taking part in both sides of the argument because it keeps me from leaning too strongly on one side or another. Valid points all around, and so are the invalid arguments. One could say I’m telling you to… Let it go.
I’m not sorry for that last overused joke. I’m only sorry that it’s overused.Believe me, I’m well versed in the toxic culture of hate and hypocrisy on Tumblr. That doesn’t stop it from pissing me off. It’s not that people don’t like the character or the movie, but why.
I like to argue, don’t get me wrong. However, I also like to see characters as more than just a design on paper, and to judge them for more than just physical similarities to other characters in other movies. That there is already so much hatred over one character’s physical appearance and nothing else regarding her is what makes me mad.
You would think that on a place like Tumblr that seems to thrive on asking for equality and representation that Big Hero 6 would be a big deal. You would think that on a site where personal thoughts and experiences are put on display, and shipping as a major hobby that a character’s appearance would be secondary to personality and portrayal.
Sadly, I should be too well versed in the toxic culture of hate and hypocrisy on Tumblr to believe that.(via travelererrant)
