This is ruining me I can't breathe

Hi!

I just found your blog, and I wanted to say how much I adore your art! The colors and shapes in your work are so flowing and hypnotic and I had to follow✨

Also I wanted to ask what the backstory/plot is for your oc Chaucer. His design kinda gives me Xerox-Era/1960s Disney vibes, and I’m super curious as to what his inspiration was.

(*Also* also is his mask a Breakfast At Tiffany’s shout-out? Because omg I love that👀🤌)

Chaucer's backstory is something I would like to share through illustrations rather than words. It will be up to the viewer to piece together what exactly happened to him. Stay tuned !

( With that vague answer aside ) What inspired him ? Chaucer sprang from my mind fully formed, like a striped Athena. I created him after graduation as a sort of self indulgent present to myself. I love tigers and the idea of one with human intelligence being forced to live like an animal was funny to me. Chaucer isn't Tiger enough to live in the jungle and he isn't Human enough to live amongst man.

He just Is.

( Yes that is a the Holly Golightly mask. Good eye ! )

Because this movie comes out in like a week I need to hype this up!

I don’t see enough people talking about it, so I figured the best way to do this is by starting with a poll

Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”

how can you tell

btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Honestly where would we be as a society without the "if I had a nickel for every time [x] happened, I would have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice" meme. Perfect meme to express confusion that something happened two whole times which is not a LARGE number of times, usually, but for this specific thing that is a lot of times. We owe Doofenshmirtz everything
