how did you find IF concept art 👉👈🥺

I found it on Tumblr (mainly the Cosmo concept designs), but they’re from Instagram! There from an account called ovi_nedelcu that posts concept art and storyboards and they have IF concept art! Here’s a few

Trauma Candy Bowl, IF edition

If you don't know what a Trauma Candy Bowl is, and if you don't have Tiktok and therefore can't look it up, it's basically when a group of friends all come together to share different traumatic events from their lives, and then they dump any candy they have with them in a huge bowl. I think this is how the people in those videos bond over their trauma.

CW: Mention of SA, religious trauma, death, drugging, loss, and mention of 9/11

Cal: My name is Cal, and back in 2016, my kid and I both lost our mom when she died of cancer.... Shortly after, my kid forgot me and I was left alone in an abandoned apartment for a while until Blossom found me and brought me to Memory Lane. I brought mini Butterfingers. *dumps the mini Butterfingers in the candy bowl*

Bubblina: My name is Bubblina, and my kid had a strict religious upbringing, while also going to a Catholic school of their choosing. We both lived under stress all the time that we weren't following God's path and that we'd go to Hell for not believing hard enough, and in a sense our upbringing caused us a lot of anxiety...... I brought Fruit Gushers. *pours Fruit Gushers into the bowl*

Robot: My name is Robot, and most people don't know this, but my kid died during the September 11th attacks. He was in one of the towers when the planes crashed, and he never made it out..... I brought Twix. *pours some Twix bars in the bowl*

Star: My name is Star, and my kid grew up in a abusive household with a mother who was a drug addict and alcoholic. She eventually got away from that hell when her mom was arrested, but years later she died in a bus crash when she and her band were on their way to get signed to a big record label in Los Angeles. I brought Reese's peanut butter cups. *pours the Reese's in the bowl*

Spaceman: My name is Spaceman, and my kid was the drummer in Star's band..... He also died in that crash while their other band mates survived. I brought blow pops. *pours the blow pops into the bowl*

Art Teacher;..... My name is Art Teacher, Art for short, and my kid and I both lived in a very dysfunctional household with parents who just didn't want to understand their own child..... I went to parties with Star back in Illinois to distract myself sometimes from how chaotic things were at home, but at one party, I was drugged and sexually assaulted by someone I trusted.... I ended up blocking out that memory for a long time until that person showed up again and made me feel even more uneasy than I felt on a day to day basis. And..... I brought Swedish Fish. *pours the Swedish Fish into the bowl*

a lot of media assumes robots would be immortal but i think its a lot more interesting to explore robots dealing with their parts wearing down and battery life shortening and all the horrible little failings that come with being a complicated machine. sure they can replace parts but you'd assume you cant completely ship of theseus them, or it'd have pretty big rammifications on their sense of identity. idk. give me robots with distinct, unique signs of aging. as a treat.

you can’t jokingly post about kinky shit on tumblr because you say smth like “haha wouldn’t it be hot if you…tried to launch internet explorer…but it wouldn’t load :D”

and then you’ll get one thousand robot girls in the notes going “mmngngnnghhhngn”

Might one day make some posts on some headcanons about the IFs previous lives, but since I shared my headcanon in a couple posts that IFs were originally humans, I thought I'd get a little dark here and share my headcanons on how each IF in the movie probably died in their past lives xD

CW: Some of these deaths might get a little disturbing, so proceed with caution..... or don't read if certain ways to die are too much for you to read about.

Calvin- Was likely a circus performer in his past life. He was a tightrope walker, but somehow he slipped on the line which caused him to fall to his death, dying as soon as he hit the ground

Blue- A baker who ran a beloved small business in his past life, but one day his shop was robbed by a couple of bank robbers. When he tried to reason with the robbers, he ended up being shot in the head

Lewis- Probably had the least traumatic of everyone's deaths, having died peacefully of old age before one day finding himself reincarnated as a giant teddy bear. He was actually a priest in his life as a human, but after his kid forgot him in his current life, he received what he felt was a calling from God to start a home for IFs looking for a new after after their kids forgot them. (A/N: I'm not really religious, but parts of religion have always fascinated me, so I like to incorporate it into my work if I think it fits a specific story)

Blossom- Was a ballerina in her past life, and one that was adored all throughout Europe, but one day during a performance, she slipped somehow and ended up falling off the stage, breaking her neck and dying on impact.

Art Teacher and Star- They were both lovers in their past lives together, somewhere in the 80s. Art Teacher was an artist of course, and Star was a musician that played local shows in Illinois. They lived together and were going to get married, but one day a group of home invaders broke into their house to rob them, Star getting severely beaten and stabbed as Art tried to save her, but the latter ended up thrown out of a window from their apartment that was about 3 stories high up..... Art died from the fall, and Star later died in the hospital from her wounds. (A/N: if you've seen The Crow, yes, that movie inspired me for this. Not the new one thar just came out, the original one with Brandon Lee)

Sunny- Was a therapist in his past life, but despite all the help he gave to his patients, he suffered from severe depression and had no one to talk to about his own issues..... He ended up losing his battle to his demons and taking his own life in his office.

Cosmo- Was a cop in his past life, and when he ended up helping to save a group of kids from a hostage situation, he ended up taking multiple bullets from the criminal he was after, dying from all his wounds.

Pop- A woman in her past life who worked in an office and suffered severe social anxiety. She was mugged one day in the streets and ended up being stabbed after having all her valuables stolen.

Uni- A cheerful woman in her past life who worked with kids and always got joy out of what she did, but sadly she died in a hospital of a terminal illness

Spaceman- Was an actual astronaut in his past life that one day was boarding a rocket ship to head to space with his crew..... but a malfunction in the ship caused it to explode before take off, killing everyone on board.

Ted the ice cube- Somehow got stranded out in a desert island, likely spent hours walking in a wasteland to find help, only to eventually die of thirst and heat exhaustion.

Banana- Was someone who always loved exercise, went out running almost every day.... He lived in Florida though, and one day he got too close to a lake on one of his jogs and got mauled by an alligator.

Steven the slime- Died by drowning in his hometown of Spokane

Marshmallow- Burned to death when he got caught up in a fire

Octocat- Was a professional marine biologist who went scuba diving under the water for her work.... Sadly she ended up losing her life under water when an octopuss got spooked by her and managed to strangle her to death

Magician Mouse- A Magician who performed in Las Vegas, he decided to have one of his shows feature a snake..... but sadly that snake bit and immediately killed him on the stage with its venom.

Andromedus III- An author who wrote ghost stories and medival stories, but he died of a heart attack before finishing the final book of his most recent series

Guardian Dog- An actor who was starring in a superhero movie, but production was canceled after a prop weapon somehow ended up actually killing him on the set on accident

Ally- A professional wildlife expert, she went into a swamp in Australia for her studies, only to be mauled to death by a Crocodile

Gummy- A woman in her past life that ran a candy shop, but she had a lonely life that caused her to turn to binge eating sugar for comfort at night.... this ended up being the cause of her death when all the sugar in her system eventually caused her to go into a diabetic coma and die.

Robot- A technician who worked endlessly to make technology that he hoped would change the world for the better instead of being used to make humans more dependent on technology and be another victim of corporate greed..... He had an invention that he was certain would help others, of which the invention and its functions remains unknown..... but whatever it was was enough for his higher ups in the company he worked for to have him shot and killed so they could take all the credit.

Happy Valentine's Day! Here are some gay robots :3

Saw someone mention the new Boston Dynamics' robot was introduced like a Souls boss. Was not expecting it to come out so creepy.

[rambling-robot]

crazy that gravity falls was like, hey what if we made twin brothers, and one of them is the worse one. he gets bad grades, he likes to punch his problems, everyone thinks of him as “the other one.” he’s engulfed in a shadow that’s shaped like him. he doesn’t even have his own name—it’s derived of his brother’s name, the only one his parents planned on having and using. everything about him is derivative—imitative of another person (his twin brother) (the one everyone likes and wants) and is disapproved of for that reason (he isn’t just “bad at this thing,” he’s “not as good as his brother”). and then he ruins his brother’s science fair project (the one next to his own—no one noticed it because it’s not good, it’s almost stupid next to a “perpetual motion machine” made by a high schooler) (he tried to fix it) (he doesn’t know how; he’s not as smart as the guy who made it) and he gets kicked out. the potential of the money his twin could’ve made is enough to throw him onto the street, and he can’t go home until he makes that money back (the money that was never gained and therefore was never lost. he never had a chance of making enough). he took every job he could (his brother went to school). he got banned from multiple states (his brother bought a house). he traveled internationally and went to prison and had people try to hunt him down and kill him because he couldn’t make enough money (his brother’s house has three basements. he made them himself, as secure as can be). and when his twin finally summons him for help, things go wrong (he messed up this machine like the last one) (he doesn’t know how to fix it. he isn’t as smart as the guy who made it) (he tries to fix it) (he was never any good at reading and these blueprints are impossible, coded and fragmented and in a science that he didn’t know existed) (he tries to fix it). the townspeople ask who he is, and he doesn’t even say his own name (it was hardly his to begin with). and he invites them to a house that isn’t his to show off experiments that aren’t his because he needs to make money that can’t be his. everything he does for the next 30 years is in his twin’s name, for his twin’s sake. he had two funerals for himself and it isn’t even his body in the casket; he had to wear his brother’s name to both of them. if he had died before he fixed the portal, that funeral wouldn’t have been for him. we meet him as a funny and unique character, but in-universe, he’s only ever been defined by someone else.

and then they went, this is entirely in the background btw. most of that is going to be revealed in one episode and won’t be addressed again. he’s a primary comic relief, even. I’m ill about this.

I don't know about you, but I really hate mentality that says that we don't get good animated projects anymore, especially when these exist.

And there's more.
