there’s nothing heroic about burnout. there’s nothing heroic about not sleeping, or forgetting to eat because you’re so focused on wanting to help someone.
Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.
The three Fates sharing an eye.
Hades’ flaming hair.
The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.
The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.
It’s a very visually engaging movie.
How could I forget the Underworld
And the opening sequence
Y’all need to get off Walter Disney’s cock
Jeez, I just said the movie looks nice. No need to get antsy.
Also like, pretty sure WD didn’t make that movie. It was the effort of various animators who sometimes get overlooked because we don’t see them WORKING on it for so many days, just the two hour long result.
Pretty sure that Walt Disney didn’t work on Hercules since it came out decades after he died.
Fun fact! The reason Hercules has such a unique style is because Musker and Clements brought illustrater Gerald Scarfe (famous for his work on Pink Floyd’s The Wall) to be the conceptual character artist. His original character designs are wild
Hey kids, did you know that you can be critical of a company and acknowledge how shitty it is in its business practices, and
appreciate that it produces a lot of good art, much of which is created
by artists and animators who have nothing whatsoever to do with the
aforementioned shitty business practices?
Fucking wild that you can do that.
I’m glad this thread went exactly where I wanted it to
push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.
push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.
get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.
stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.
buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.
buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.
strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.
organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.
have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.
push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.
message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.
think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.
become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.
lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.
The language of “Western civilization” should be opposed primarily on the grounds that viewing world history through that lens will actually melt your brain
Western civilization is a concept invented by Oxford University Press c. 1880 after they realized they printed too many copies of Plato one month and had to come up with some marketing scam to move inventory
this fourth of july think of the indigenous people of america who had their country and land stolen from them with little to no reparations or apologies. land is still being taken. sacred grounds are still being ripped away. there is no “independence” for the people who were here first.
