How Snape Would React To His Newborn Child:

Whoever the mother would have been (Constance Hardbroom in my stories), I figured Snape's reaction to seeing his first born for the first time would've been something like Bilbo in the Rankin/Bass "Hobbit" film...hear me out-

He'd be pretty stoic on the outside but, inside, Snape would be pretty...anxious. He wouldn't even want to hold his child within fear of somehow dropping/breaking him/her (newborns are fragile). But, as Snape continued gazing as the tiny wizard/witch, tears would come into his black eyes. Tears that were not out of sadness but hidden joy, beauty and love. Going with Bilbo's line:

"There are moments which can change a person for all time."

here's to all the weird and obscure movies from the 80s and 90s that never got their score uploaded to spotify etc because the companies that made them don't exist anymore and the rights to the music is really weird now and whoever owns it doesn't give a shit that they own it now

I got to draw the 1977 animated Rankin-Bass version of Gollum for an art trade!

I love this movie and its style sm😭

The Ranki-Baas are an alien species from the Andromeda Galaxy. Seen as a barbarian race by most of the universe, the Ranki-Baas didn't develop space travel on their own but had it introduced to them by visitors. However, their resource-limited homeworld made them an unattractive prospect for invaders and traders alike. Ranki-Baas culture is simple in its aesthetic tastes - making things for mostly utilitarian purposes and avoiding ornamentation or art-for-art's sake. The main exception is in their songs, which are renowned abroad, even by those who dismiss other aspects of their culture. Singing is extremely important to them - in fact, several wars have been fought solely because a tribal chief or two wanted a venue to showcase a new acapella war chant or the like. They each have two throats, which aid in their ability to harmonize. 

Ranki-Baas only have one sex, with each member having both male and female features. In a mating scenario, both participants tend to give birth. The have live births, but the young are soon after suspended in nutrient-rich mud until they reach adolescence, when they emerge healthy and strong. Ranki-Baas have expandable throats, like the bullfrog of Earth, with are used in threat displays. Their "horns" are actually the upper canine tusks, which grow upward and pierce through their skin. 

Inspired by the Goblins/Orcs from the Rankin/Bass Tolkien movies. I always liked their designs (even though they're not remotely book-accurate) and they always had the best songs. Their gestation period is based on the infamous "Orc Pods" from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies.

Smaug the dragon (voiced by Richard Boone) as he appeared in the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit (1977).

I love that whenever the animated Hobbit movie is brought up, it’s collectively agreed that Down Down to Goblin Town is the best song in the movie.

So I drew this as my frustrated fan fiction for a proper Space Jam: A mocumentary of cartoon characters forced to make a movie they don't like.

Gollum cels from 'The Hobbit" (Rankin/Bass version)

[kirbyddd]

Despite its flaws, there has never been a more beautiful and faithful adaptation of Tolkien's work

[cityoftheangelllls]

Here is a little screencap redraw for the animated Return of the King that's been a loooooooooooong time in the making because I'm lazy
