no rule that says a weasel cant make a movie...
i dont have any firm plans atm cos i dont rly have any one to work with. im interested in docufiction atm (we watched close-up and nirvanna the band the show the movie this year) and id like to film a short about people who live on a superfund site. sort of "day-in-the-life" mundane interview footage intercut with bleak/empty looking polluted vistas. i got a new camera the other day so maybe ill be able to shoot some test footage for this when if/when we go up to taipei this august
for some reason (it seems like something someone would've done by now!!) no one to my knowledge has done a weirdo docuseries about their own transition so i'm tempted to fill that niche. no plans to share it anywhere public i'm mainly personally curious if it's a concept that holds up to how interesting it is in my head
i've been working on an animated short film within strict parameters (800x600, mouse drawings in ms paint only) to iron out a pipeline by which i can actually produce animation because all bespoke animation software sucks way worse to me than just assembling drawings frame by frame in vegas. im approaching it as something to complete at my leisure
I made this with my homie dana
https://youtu.be/TFQK1ITgZzg
I have been interested in making some new animated films but my ideas are too ambitious... instead of making an animated film with characters and acting i was thinking of turning this one big idea into a narrative RPG maker game
whats everyone working on lately? hows it going? tribulations and triumphs?

post about what language(s) you're learning, resources, language learning in general

>>3mrstuh7zxg2d
I dedicate each day of the week to a specific language -- Monday:Pali, Tuesday:Mandarin, etc. No mixing allowed.
I suspect it also helps to use a distinct input/output method for each language in a given period, but this is maybe only possible for someone learning modern and classical languages together. For example, I don't think Pali and Chinese interfere with each other cuz Pali is mainly reading and Chinese is mainly listening/talking, for the moment.
In general, I think you just need to be excited about doing it. Having study buddies and enthusiastic teachers go a long way
>>3mrstuh7zxg2d
i think its pretty much like learning a single language, ur facility will depend on the amt of input u get and how consistently ur able to practice. studying mandarin has only impacted my japanese ability in the sense that i have less time to spend studying japanese (and ig that i say すう學 instead of 數學)i dont find that they mix around too much in my head. its simply really difficult to resist the gravity of ur native language and that actually works to ur advantage when u try to pick up a third one imo
>>3mrtgnkt6lb25
iow the extent to which my japanese gets rusty as my mandarin gets better is from my POV is still the result of me not parcelling out enough of the time i spend speaking and thinking and writing in english to dedicate to japanese, and not because its inherently impossible or even particularly difficult to learn both at once
speedrunning latam spanish bc we moved to my partner's parents home country for [gestures generally at the state of the united states] since my home country was not an option for similar unchecked rampant fascism reasons
im hoping itd go quicker than learning english because that took uhhhhh 4+ years of living in an english speaking country, im so far doing really good with my selective mutism around language things, it seems promising [and also being somewhere where going outside is at all an option without spending sixty dollars helps]

What has scared you recently? My sleep quality has declined and lately and I've woken up startled by my room draped in black webs or barbed wire while a figment of my imagination looms over my bed, instanly disapearing. Durring the day I'll rarely see insects apear then disappear from my peripheral vision.

A couple months ago, I was at work and it was dead slow. We were getting no business, and so I was just leaning against a wall while staring at our empty lobby. Then out of no where I heard these really loud footsteps march up to me and this loud, sharp scream right into my left ear. Made me jump and look around, and nobody was even close to me. All my coworkers were in a totally separate room. That was my first time experiencing an auditory hallucination, so it genuinely scared the piss out of me.

my critical character flaw is I like fantasy art but also want it to be actual fantasy [or sci fantasy idm the exact aesthetics]
by which i mean, non-isekai non-irony-poisoned shows that are not so fundamentally insecure about their premise as to be unwatchable
vaguely preferred if late 80s-00s maybe early 10s because i think the five trillion episodes simply serves the premise of a fantasy adventure the best and also helps the writers not take every episode Deathly Seriously all the time but if a newer show is good then its good yknow
but please intended for teens and above age rating wise squeaky clean kids shows that cant show violence make me really depressed

Shorter series but I recently watched Outlaw Star and Kino's Journey (2003 TV show)
Outlaw Star is in the sci fantasy category but features magic, mysticism and unique species. In terms of tone and narrative, close to Cowboy Bebop except there's less meandering and leans into its humor heavily. A pulp series with desirable aesthetics. Bounty hunter Gene Starwind overcomes his fear of space and forms a crew to make it big.
Kino's Journey is on the lower end of sci fantasy but features robots, automation and spirits. Heavily introspective and understated, as Kino wanders through various countries only for the sake of traveling itself, their motorbike Hermes being the only other consistent character. A story about stories, text and the nebulousness of telling them.
spice and wolf
its a pretty grounded fantasy so it might not be exactly what you're looking for but it features medieval ish folklore style supernatural elements, the whole two seasons of original series is a big road movie with a very charming pair with great chemistry, its a very fun watch
>>3msxkelsbak2q
Lately I've really liked Witch Hat Atelier, and I've been recommended Frieren: Beyond Journey's End endlessly. Made in Abyss is great too if you can stomach it.
Land of the Lustrous is one of my all time favorites, though I'm not confident it counts as fantasy?
as for older stuff I can vouch for Spice and Wolf being peak, I remember Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE being fantasy-esque too. Knight's & Magic is a fantasy take on Mecha I remember being charming.
Discuss your faves here! Or what you're watching/reading. Spoiler tags please for important plot points.
My faves are Bocchi The Rock! (anime) and Rock is a Lady's Modesty (anime). I think for Bocchi I want to experience the anime first so I'm not caught up in the manga.
Totally in love with Girl Meets Rock! but ive paused halfway through because I wanna wait for more chapters to come out, especially scanlations with uncensored lyrics.
Just started dipping my toe into Bandori and I heard BanG Dream It's MyGO!!!!! was a good place to start if you aren't planning on going thru the whole catalog. Two episodes in and I'm really liking it so far.

I'm looking to get goth boots to better stomp on girls (/j, or am I 👀)
Very new to the world of goth/alt fashion and looking for suggestions/advice.
I'm in love with the idea of Demonia Camel-305 boots (pictured). I do question though how much of an ordeal it would be to take them on/off.
US Size 12 women's btw

I have some demonias (i like that the 5 inch platform makes me 6 foot 5), but after i got some like really nice regular boots (Thursday brand) I can really notice how uncomfortable they are comparatively. It's nice that Demonia has lots of size availability for girls with bigger feet like me (size 11 womens). But def they are for occasional parties as opposed to general use, they are expensive and not that high build quality.
i got a pair of demonias on depop the other day because they are the only ones who make boots in mens 14 and i will literally never be able to wear womens' boots lol. i've wanted big chunky goth boots forever. we'll see how they hold up
Those are cool ones! I hope they treat you well
>>3msugwiqe2s23
>>3msxu4ab4xc2q
Yes i have heard about the shitty quality, but unfortunately I can't find anything else in a similar price range in Canada
I looked at Thursday just now and im heartbroken that two boots im interested in only go up to size 10 in womens

I am thinking about the nintendo 64 tonight... I was 4 or 5 when I first got a nintendo 64 and while I played a lot of Pokemon Snap and Mario 64, I had some more weird games too. Mischief Makers was one of the first games I ever owned, but I've never beat it...

What anime have you all been keeping up with this summer? I've been getting really into Sayonara Lara, Draw This Then Die, and Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You which have all been pretty good so far!

mushoku tensei season 3 has been hitting for me, i was not expecting a realistic depiction of polyamory instead of a typical harem.
the character development throughout this story has been so strong. i really appreciate the strong sense of mortality and mystery as well, like this season has largely just been slice of life wish fulfillment but it is given an undertone of anxiety and impermanence that i really appreciate.
definitely going to read the light novel after this season finishes its run, i'm smitten.
chainsmoker cat has been amazing, the OP gives chainsaw man with every shot showing its film brainrot, the characters are messes in both relatable and extremely funny ways. its some freakmedia in its form, like it leans on fetishes in ways i really wasnt expecting, idk its been an excellent time
GITS rules, didnt know what to expect after dandadan s2 (was worried like....maybe saru is washed, and theyre doing 2 shows in the same season....), but wow its been fantastic??? really really liking the tone, i liked how grim the oshii film was, but im loving how much time and character everyones getting?
Lara is solid, im mostly watching for how beautiful it is, its definitely a fun time.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm cour 2 continues to be excellent, its been keeping the wellwoven intrigue id expect from the fma mangaka while still having excellent tone/pacing? I loveeeeeee that were still getting longform shonen like this, really feels like a genre we'd left behind, im so so so glad to see it cx
Planning on watching:jaadugar, false memory
gotta say The Ghost in the Shell has really fed the part of my brain that wanted more Minakami Yuki circa Ch 1 & 2 of Subahibi. i think i have a type? im embarrassed by that. oh no.

the mods have totally lost it and have instituted authoritarian RULES! or as we like to call them today - terms of service.
you should read them before your next post so you don't get b&!
on a more serious note, we thought this would provide a clarity of purpose. what we expect and don't expect of our users. and its also a way for us to stay out of trouble.
okay. thanks! stay healthy!
> greentext stories banned
> mfw
i don't, really understand why the story format is banned entirely.
i get the other rules, but this one just sticks out to me as unnecessary? like, the rest of the rules largely cover the content of what may not be posted and after reading them i generally agree with them, but this one, just bans a storytelling format?
shouldn't the content of the story be what gets a post banned, not what format it's told in?
i also, don't really get banning wojaks
pepe i get because it's a symbol, as much as i hate that it got hijacked by idiots, but wojaks are much more just a meme format. you might as well ban impact font while you're at it.
it just, reads as really weird for there to be bans on that stuff.
ultimately what defines what you call "being a chud" is defined by largely anti-social behavior and and displays of anti-social beliefs. it isn't defined by meme formats.
>>3mswkfdbjnc2d
i understand that form doesnt necessarily determine content. the rule disallowing posts like that basically serves 2 purposes
1. ensures that i dont have to read those types of posts, which is good cus i dont like them much
and related,
2. encourages posters to think of new ways to post on image boards. i dont think its important for people to make good posts. but lets at least try something new. there are many other places where you can post those things.
i was in syracuse lately where you can see picrelated all over the place, it's the tag of someone who goes by "vacant." it's very cute as you can see.
what's everyone's favorite tags/individual pieces of graffiti anywhere?
