Centaurworld OC, Sir Rattington, a fancy rat-taur.
I know it sounds kinda like Derpleton but it was a name I came up with long before Centaurworld and I didn’t want to change it just because a canon character has ‘ton’ at the end of their name.
Will I actually do anything with him? Eh, dunno. But it was fun to design.
Leopard gecko sculpture Part 2! Messing with the face took be the better part of two days so I wasn’t able to record that bit. Tubercles were created with the use of liquid sculpey. If all goes well I’ll be making resin copies of this guy for sale as blanks and custom paint jobs! 🎵Dreamin’ - Syndrome

THE NEW EP OF EVOLUTIONS IS THE FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS THAT A KADABRA HAS APPEARED IN THE ANIME (DO THE URI GELLER LAWSUIT). MY BOY IS FINALLY FREE FROM THE SHADOW REALM
I’ll explain what the lawsuit is about for those confused. In 2000, famous British magician Uri Geller sued Nintendo for 60 million pounds (80 million USD) over the Abra line. More specifically, he claimed the Pokemon company were ripping him off with Kadabra. Yuri claimed Kadabra’s Japanaese name Yungera
(ユンゲラー
) was based off of his name, and Kadabra bending spoons was a reference to an act Uri often did. Even though bending spoons is a fairly common trope with psychic characters, Uri didn’t realize that and claimed the Pokemon company “stole my identity.” While Uri never got any money from the lawsuit, to avoid any legal action, Pokemon stopped publishing the Abra line in the TCG and from appearing in the anime in 2003.
In 2020, Uri wrote a tweet apologizing to the Pokemon Company and for the grudge he held for all these years. He gave the company permission to use the Abra line in the TCG and anime again.
Long story short: British man got butt hurt over a cartoon psychic goat creature and it took him 20 years to realize how stupid that was.
a select niche of boomers literally think Tumblr is supposed to be a hookup app and it’s very very funny to see them talk on Facebook about it from that angle, sometimes complaining about their lack of success. Sir the average person youre trying to flirt with is half your age and gay for a video game creature.
me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?
me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.
the only scary thing about the monsters of monsters inc is that theyre stuck under the foot of capitalism too
Look we all want a robo dog but if you kill someone with a sledgehammer to steal theirs, they are going to find you. There’s no way a 75k$ dog doesn’t have gps
we are killing the dog
NO.
ALL DOGS ARE PRECIOUS.
Even robot ones.
its not a dog, its a machine used and designed for police surveillance and the entire reason they made it dog shaped is so idiots like you would go “awwww robot dog how precious” instead of seeing them as the oppressive tools they are.
we’re killing the fucking dog
That’s not a robot dog.
It’s a four-legged robot spider.
It is not a dog, a spider, a chicken, a horse, a fish, a tick, a mosquito, a tapeworm or a baby
It is a weapon
There is nothing morally wrong about breaking weapons that are hurting people for any reason other than to prevent those people from hurting others worse
the dog robots are fully capable of hurting people, and badly. failsafes that would prevent that have not been installed. the police are deploying a thing out in public that can maim anyone who touches it wrong.
look, when i was a kid i was passionately in love with the idea of robots–that humans would one day create another sort of intelligence to share our world with– and believed very firmly that we should respect and protect all our robot friends from the start, so there would be no violent humans-against-robots revolution or anything.
anyway it turns out that the people trying to keep end-stage capitalism running are really banking on us feeling more love for the robots than for the kind of people they’re going to be using the robots to oppress.
so like. maybe lets all agree right now that if a robot is being used to hurt a person, you need to smash the fucking robot. they’re going to make the robots really cute. they’re going to show us so many movies about how much robots need to be loved. and then they are going to use robots to hurt people.
