Friendly reminder that your sexual history is not necessarily connected to your sexual orientation and that you can know what your sexual orientation is without having had sexual experience.
its so weird how ur gender supposedly dictates which shapes and textures of fuckening cloth u are permitted to drape over ur flesh prison
I like to imagine that a demon who is trapped in their human vessel is saying this
demon: and tbh wtf is up with hair like??? some genders have to have longer strands of dead proteins emitting from their scalps but other genders have to keep their protein strands short??? weird shit
possessed person: yes the gender binary is stupid and arbitrary can we be quiet now
demon: also this whole makeup thing is suspect as hell like why cant all humans put pigment all over their oral openings why would that be an issue
possessed person: craig please i am trying to sleep
The Adventures of Prince Achmen. 1926. German. The oldest surviving animated film in history.
I am sorry BUT THIS IS NOT JUST “GERMAN” PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE NAME OF THE ARTIST.
THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE WAS MADE BY LOTTE REINIGER! SHE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF ANIMATION!!!! SHE MADE OVER 40 FILMS IN HER CAREER USING A TECHNIQUE SHE INVENTED WITH HER HUSBAND! WALT DISNEY ENDED USING HER MULTI PLANE TECHNIQUE IN HIS OWN MOVIES! AND SHE FUCKING MADE THE FIRST FEATURE LENGTH ANIMATED MOVIE!! (she ended up fleeing Nazi germany eventually work in north america, both us and canada, on other movies.)
Look, I love Winsor McCay but I’m extremely pissed that my animation history class in college focused on him and did not mention Lotte Reiniger at all.
Willy Wonka sent out his chocolate bars worldwide, and 5 white kids (4 with first-world problems) still won.
