I'm gonna be real with you, i don't think weirdo kinksters should be considered acceptable collateral damage when banks/credit card companies enforce adult content bans on sites like patreon and ko-fi

Happy 14 years to 2011’s Winnie the Pooh ❤️🍯

I struggle to put into words how much this film has meant to me within the past few years; a short but sweet, engaging, and gorgeously animated time spent with characters I adore <3

i had a dream that i made this meme so first thing when i woke up i had to recreate it

[nova-appleade]

This.

[nova-appleade]

These are so adorable!! 😊❤️

Man, sometimes I don't like being a student aspiring to become a storybook artist, because my drawings are smaller than a thumb and too simple. And it's fun to draw Piglet, because he's supposed to be small, but I still struggle with his size HAHA... Ha.

And I finally got to draw Tigger with his full body.

I know, he doesn't look like the original Disney version, nor even like the illustration from the original book; but that's because they're just visual headcanons for him, completely personal, leaning toward the basic ideas of Disney's Tigger but also seeking a "redesign" of his appearance.

*Puts a hand on the door before you can close it*...THAT'S NOT ALL!

There are also visual headcanons for Owl!

I couldn't forget about our dear friend with speech disabilities. Owl!

I tried to give him a slightly more "furry" or "puffy-feathered" look on his face, simulating a beard on his cheeks and chin (they're just feathers). Of course, I gave him little glasses, a pocket watch he can't read,

and pants... why not?

Every time I see an owl walking on the ground, its feet have feathers stuck to them, making it look like "little pants". It's a really fun and cute look, you should see it!

Finally, a drawing of Rabbit trying on a gardening hat!!!◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Just my personal interpretation, but I like to imagine that the animals in Winnie the Pooh all have similiar personalities to Christopher Robin's family/friends irl.

He's a little boy playing and imagining these characters and stories in his head, and it makes sense that he would only imagine personalities that he's familiar with?

In that way, Kanga's personality, to me, feels like... Christopher Robin imagining his own mother. How his mother talks and cares for him and her personality is all shining through Kanga.

He doesn't imagine much more for her because... well... he's a child who doesn't see his parents as people yet. If that makes sense.

I mean but I could just be reading into Winnie the Pooh WAY too much lol 😂

Tried to draw her in my style. Ignore the silly texts.

Honestly, I like to see Kanga as a more multifaceted character than Dismey ever made her out to be.

I can easily understand that not even in the original book: Kanga had no major involvement other than being a mother figure to Roo and Tigger. AND I KNOW IT.

But it hurts me...

So I enjoy looking at some specific quotes from the original book and making my own interpretation of it.

Some will say that Kanga just wanted to go home for no particular reason, others will assume that Roo had already been playing for a long time and Kanga didn't approve that.

BUT IF YOU ASK ME, I see her as suspicious about the presence of Pooh, Rabbit and Piglet. I'm not saying that they make her afraid, but I am happy to say with complete confidence that Kanga WAS ANXIOUS.

At least, that's what I like to see.

At Disney she always appeared serene, kind, although a little clueless at times. But I feel that that image was too empty or very typical of a flat character, leaving aside all the potential there was to give her more facets.

All of that is my justification for having drawn her (if that counts as a drawing)... with a worried face.

Why is this getting so many notes so randomly I posted this when I was drunk 😂

It's nice to know there are people out there who share this fear, though. I know personally if I had OCs get super popular, I wouldn't have a problem with people doing near anything to them. Even if I didn't see the characters the way someone headcanons them or if people shipped things I didn't really like.

Like I'm not the fiction police lmao do literally whatever you want unless you're harassing people who don't agree with you 👍

One of my biggest fears is if like I actually make a compelling story with an original world and characters only for the Fandom to be taken over by Antis.

Like I am not on ya'll's side LMAO 😂

Unfortunately it seems like some antis have this mindset because they truly think that Proshippers are pedophiles and groomers

When really they're doing the same shit we are

I'm gonna lose it, why are antis so stupid😭

"I like shipping dynamics with rape, slavery, manipulation, murder but proshippers dni"

What stage of denial is this?

[nova-appleade]

You're so nice I'm gonna cry. Thank you so much I really needed to hear that. It really motivates me to see people love my work so much and it reminds me to try not to be so hard on my writing. Thank you 😊😊🐯🐰

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE I LOVE YOU 🥺🥺😭😭❤️❤️

I'm working on it!! Slowly but surely!! Things have been rough for me lately but I promise I haven't forgotten about it!!

This election is really making me fear for my safety. Not just as an LGBTQ+ afab person, but also in my own household.

I feel like I lose no matter who wins right now.

Yes!! Pooh's Grand Adventure has always and probably will always be my favorite depiction of all the characters, but especially Rabbit! 1997 Rabbit is the version I picture when I think of him.

2011 is great and funny in its own way, but the character depictions have always felt off to me in that movie. I much prefer 1997. They're all so cute! 😊🩷

"Do you prefer the 2011 Rabbit or the 1997 Rabbit?"

☆ Mark my words, I'll shout a very loud "HIM", pointing to the one from 1997!

Yes I know! The Rabbit from 2011 is supposed to be the "best", since it is the most modern one (Before Live Action). It has a remarkably fluid animation, in interviews they claim to give it a different animation since it is a real animal, unlike the other characters/stuffed animals. But I am not entirely comfortable with this Rabbit, since I feel that they took away many characteristics of his personality that had always been shown. For example, before he was a little more "effeminate" (to say the least), in addition to his kinesic language (and sometimes also his words) showing a delicate and even sophisticated side of him. Anyway, I'm glad they never chose to change their nervous/anxious attitude, but of course, the downside is that their facial expressions were exaggerated and maybe a little more exciting than they once were.

On the other hand, the 1997 Rabbit is great! He was always rooted in his initial personality, without the need to eliminate his way of being a grumpy guy. It was faithful, classic, and they kept the fact that Rabbit is one of the few critically thinking characters. I love the fact that he looked adorable (pointing to his physical appearance). I think "cute" is very important when we talk about the characters in WTP, they all tend to be cute or at least easy on the eyes, I'm not sure if the reason for that is because the movie was aimed at little kids, but still That's how it fascinates me. Rabbit is very adorable, and I personally think it's the only movie in which he looks this cute. I love it! He has a very pretty face, his ears tend to droop sometimes. Rabbit's eyes had slightly larger dark pupils, I think that's what allowed him to look as nice as he did.

In conclusion, the 1997 Rabbit was my favorite. I hope one day I can draw him the way he looked in that movie.

Antis are so braindead that they'll attack ships that aren't even proships because they perceive a character a certain way.

"That character is child-coded!" And then the character is an adult with a fun and bubbly personality.

"They're literally implied father and daughter!" No bestie, that's your headcanon.

"That character is a minor!" And then it's a character that is clearly an adult that has an occupation and is independent, but they're below average height and have small breasts.

It's so funny seeing antis attack ships that aren't even proships because they think their headcanons are canon.

[nova-appleade]

Yeah, obviously Rabbit is not my favorite character. All these drawings mean nothing. 🙄🙄🙄

[nova-appleade]

Being an anti is the exact opposite of being progressive and anyone who told you otherwise is lying. It's the exact same rhetoric used to justify homophobia and transphobia, but since it's now directed at an "acceptable target" some of you people are just fine with it.
