Oh my god my nano novel is basically just me talking to myself about worldbuilding but I am having a great time.
Today I get to throw an inclusive holiday party and make all my characters dress up and be awkward over the charcuterie. And then drop a (figurative) bomb on them.
Yes I have spent more time planning a set of charcuteries that you can serve to a crowd that includes people who are diabetic, vegan, jewish, muslim, and fae than I have the “plot”, so sue me.
Sorry to say, but they do the exact same thing for humans too.
It’s amazing how people in the notes and comments are absolutely FURIOUS at me for the included Frozen comparison. Special shout out to everyone trying to prove that real people look like this.
Not to mention that when people edit these characters to have better facial proportions, the originals look like bizarre fish people.
How humans draw themselves is always fascinating to me
op why are you speaking like you aren’t human i’m scared
Eh…perhaps read my blog description.
this post has EVERYTHING
I think I know the reason for why people prefer “unrealistic” animation.
For some reason, humans really don’t like things that look like humans but aren’t quite human. Hence why a lot of people are uncomfortable with movies with animation like Monster House and The Polar Express. It looks too realistic to us and sets us off.
Scientists call this the “Uncanny Valley” effect and its thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival.
The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the uncanny valley effect. Only humans. Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival?
Oh hell yeah this is what I’m here for

Tragically, Yorkshire Museum’s Curator Battles have come to an end. Here are some highlights from the grand finale subject of Best Object.
The pee spout in the chain mail underpants is smiling. It’s creepy.

thehuntresslair asked: Just out of curiosity: how and where do they normally store the costumes in a way that can be re-used in another production if needed?
Most costumes are stored in costume houses. Each costume house is a little different, but by and large, they are storing costumes in the same way that you would store any clothing - just on a much larger scale. Clothing is stored on hanging racks, hats are stored on shelves or hang on pegs, jewelry is often stored in drawers or hung up, etc.
Angels Costumier is the largest costume house in the world. They have over eight miles of hanging racks arranged chronologically in order to make finding costumes for the proper period easier.
I would highly suggest visiting their website for more information. They also offer a tour called “Behind the Seams” if you would like to learn more. You can also check out this interview I did with Angels about a year ago.
There are literally hundreds of costume houses around the world that provide specialty items for film and television, but if you wish to learn more, some of the best-known places are:
