Tries to find his mom, she tells him to fuck off, and he unintentionally starts dating the devil

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Is the devil hot? And/or female?

[vaeveritas]

It is set right after the failed take over in heaven, so he is heavily scarred, across his body though his face is beautiful. Also his gender is not clear until after they have already built a connection to each other. The devil in this story though evil and corrupting, does so as part of his nature and talks and acts as a gentle idealistic young person who just doesn’t understand why hardship exists. Basically the lead finds what he initially assumes is a corpse of a beautiful girl about his age on the road, but upon realizing that she is alive he helps her and they travel together on his quest to find his mom.

The foreign warrior may finally find inner peace after surviving a brutal season where a trans dimensional conflict between humans and cosmic demons took place around an entire continent, and for this continent, this kind of stuff is annual. Onwards to new sources of power now that his body, mind and soul are forever marked by the demonic essence, product of consuming cursed flesh, blood and chemicals in order to survive.

Once she realizes where she’s going and who she is aren’t the same thing, she finally let’s go of all of her anxieties!  Which is good because she’s got a loooooong life of trial and tribulation ahead of her she doesn’t even know about.  Not even her future self let in on what would be coming for her.  XD

Disney MovieToons/DisneyToon Studios: 1990-2018.

Not every film they made was good, but there certainly were some gems that came from the studio and there’s no denying that the crew behind all of their films put as much effort as they could into every frame.

If your favorite DisneyToon film is not featured here, I couldn’t really fit all of them into this photoset. I decided to go with the most notable films out of their library. If your favorite film from DisneyToon Studios wasn’t featured here feel free to mention it in a comment or reblog.

Oh.  My.  Gosh.

WARNING: THE INCREDIBLES 2  IS NOT EPILEPSY SAFE.

[exigetspersonal]

This is not a joke. I was at a premier showing tonight, and my immediate thought was how disasterously unsafe this movie is for my photosensitive epilepic friends. @markingatlightspeed I’m tagging you with this specifically because this would be extremely dangerous for you to watch.

There are multiple scenes in this movie with full-screen, black-and-white flashing strobe effects. They all happen without warning, and last anywhere between a few seconds to more than two minutes. In a darkened movie theater, this means the likelihood of a seizure could be VERY HIGH if you are sensitive to these effects.

If you have photosensitive epilepsy or another disorder that is triggered by strobe lights, I would highly recommend you DO NOT SEE THE INCREDIBLES 2 IN THEATERS. Wait until the movie’s released on digital/Bluray, and you can watch it in a fully-lit room, with someone with you who will be able to help if the strobe effects do trigger a seizure.

Please stay safe.

Where did the modern cartoon art style come from?

[jwblogofrandomness]

So recently a new reboot of ThunderCats was announced called ThunderCats Roar, and the announcement has caused quite the uproar (Wocka wocka! within the animation community. The main target and focus of discourse within the cartoon community is regarding the art style. Said art style involves the characters drawn in a very rounded art style with limited to no sharp edges, thin outlines, and use of bright colors.

Now the reason why a lot of people aren’t found of this art style is because it resembles the art style used in the PowerPuff Girls reboot, which resembles the art style used in Steven Universe, which resembles Craig of the Creek, which resembles Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, which resembles Gravity Falls, which resembles Regular Show, which resembles Clarence, which resembles Adventure Time- Bottom line, this art style has been used a lot (and I mean a lot) in the past decade of animated shows, with the majority of them being on Cartoon Network.

People often refer to this art style as the “Cal Arts style” but I personally hate that term because not everybody who went to Cal Arts draws with that art style (Tim Burton went to Cal Arts and his stuff doesn’t look like Clarence), and a bunch of the shows I mentioned before weren’t even created by Cal Arts alumni. Still to keep things simple I’ll use @pan-pizza​’s term for the art style and call it “The Bean Style”, which is a good way to describe it cause a lot of things in that style are certainly bean shaped (like the heads and smiles).

Now how did this Bean Style come to be? Well I have a theory. Being a cartoonist myself I’ve noticed that we tend to be mainly inspired by what we watched when we were kids, cause often we start off by trying to draw out favorite characters, and the art styles those cartoons are drawn in end up influencing our personal art styles in one way or another.

For example back in the 90s, cartoons were created by people who grew up back in the 60s and 70s. Back then the main cartoon shows running were the various series made by Hanna Barbara Productions and reruns of classic theatrical shorts from Warner Bros., Disney, Fleischer Studios, and MGM.

Thus manly of the shows made by the people who watched them as kids resembled them strongly.

Now we’re getting to the point where cartoons are being made by people who grew up in the 90s. Now while several cartoon shows came out in the 90s, there was one particular cartoon show that came out that stood out amongst all the others, both in terms of appearance and writing, this cartoon would be later be a major factor into reshaping animation as well know it. This cartoon was The Simpsons.

While The Simpsons is pretty common place nowadays, back when it debuted nobody had ever seen anything like it before. No cartoon had characters that looked this strange or that dared to go against the ideal Nuclear family, as a result it became a smash hit. Back to what I was talking about before, take a look at The Simpsons art style, the characters have thin outlines, a very round with little to no sharp corners, the toothy smiles only show three straight lines, and use bright colors. Looks familiar doesn’t it?

Now I’m not saying that The Simpsons was the only source of inspiration for the current cartoon creators using the Bean Style (the anime boom in the US during the 90s certainly influenced them too), but The Simpsons is clearly the most prominent influence looking at the art style.

Now I want to be clear that I’m not trying to bash The Simpsons, nor the Bean style, this is just my theory as to why this particular art style seems to have such a strong presence nowadays. Am I a little sick of it popping up so much? Well… Yeah I am, but I can’t deny when the style is done well nor when it’s used appropriately (Gravity Falls is one of my favorite cartoon shows of all time after all), and that being said the Bean Style isn’t the only art style being used in modern cartoons. Shows like the 2017 Ducktales reboot, the new Mickey Mouse Shorts, The Loud House, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mighty Magiswords all have different art styles that are unique from each other.

Besides, eventually the kids who grew up back in the 90s and 2000s will be the cartoon creators of the future and the art styles from that area will most likely make a comeback.

I’m not saying you have to like every cartoon art style, but rather you should keep in mind that there are still several more options out there, even if one particular art style seems to be dominating the market nowadays. Also you shouldn’t assume that there’s a bad guy in all of this, just that we all have different tastes when it comes to what art we like.

So the next time you see a cartoon with the Bean art style, don’t start getting all angry and blaming Cal Arts…

[comic-auzi]

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that The Simpsons were clearly inspired by cartoons of the 1920′s and 30′s.
