Fun fact: if you know your feline body language, you’ll notice that the lynx is deferring to the housecat. As far as these two are concerned, the housecat is the higher-ranking cat.
you know, i remember when the teaser for that episode came out and everyone was like “hows the lemur going to earthbend” and making a shit ton of theories at school
Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points
Finally a Fred and George AU that doesn’t make me want to set myself on fire.
AU where Fred and George are in different houses and they get their hands on house ties from the other two houses as well. By the end of their first year nobody knows which house either of them is in and just take points off a random house whenever they see a redhead getting up to something.
The confusion runs so deep by the time Ron starts that Snape once takes points off Slytherin for Ron fighting with Malfoy.
am i petty? am i going to celebrate the disney/pixar 6-year streak finally ending? losing to a movie i haven’t even seen? and feeling vindication on the behalf of all the animation studios who were ignored and scorned in the past? oh absolutely
@ everyone in the notes are asking about “what happened”
this article haunts me every single awards season. this article. god. it just sums up how oscar voters are just clueless when it comes to animation:
a voter called princess kaguya and song of sea “two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw”. like, 1.) racist! 2.) those movies are japanese and irish, respectively, and 3.) you’re an official oscar voter and you’re complaining about the movies being OBSCURE? HUH? it’s absolutely baffling that this person can vote for the oscars! they’re so utterly disrespectful to movies!
2 of the voters in the article voted for the disney movie just because their kids liked it, so, that tells you what they think of animation pretty quick. this was the year that big hero 6 won over httyd2, kaguya, and song of the sea (the lego movie wasn’t even nominated).
it’s just an ongoing, tiring problem that just pervades the U.S. as a whole, unfortunately. disney/pixar makes great movies, but they’ve been winning for 6 years straight, and it’s absolutely connected to the fact that many of the voters don’t care about animation.
so spiderverse winning this year’s best animated feature is a great step forward in recognizing the value of animation! and i hope there’s more thought put into voting as the years go on; but, again, the lack of respect that animation has is a cultural issue.
