I'm so serious about being kind above all else. it has genuinely changed the way I interact with the world on a fundamental level and has made me so so much happier.

Blender… why you always scaring me with your complexity even when someone’s explaining you simply?

Hello! Currently learning blender and wanted to ask a curious question after seeing your adorable animations. How do you do eyes, in particular Susie and Nicole's ones. Their expressions with their eyes is so animated I am curious how you do it.

Hi there!! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy the way I do expressions! I'm assuming you mean Noelle? :D

Anyway here's a closer look at Susie and the way her eye works. I just gave her one eye and left the other one covered by her hair since it would've ended up looking goofy.

Here's a close-up of the eye and the shader nodes!

For extra morphed expressions, I make custom eyes which don't adhere to the rig. They're usually just spheres with the same shader.

Here's Noelle's eye rig and a little bit of a goofy showcase of her eye/eyebrows rig:

I used lattices to make the eyes stretchy!

I also used nodes for the pupils because in this house we love to avoid image textures. 🤭 The purple thingy is a driver, which switches between her dark and light world eye color.

Hope this was insightful and not too much technobabble. Best of luck on learning Blender!!

The AI tech bubble finally bursting is going to be both catastrophic and very funny.

ahhh my metroid dna is acting up ahhhh it’s making me want to kiss girls

Alright, a sort of part two to this post.

About my “Mike is Gaster” theory.

I worked on this one with @allseeingmoth

Theory and long convoluted rambles under the cut

So, for context, i follow the headcanon that Sans, Papyrus, and Gaster all are related in some way. I won’t go into detail with that, it’s just the only way to explain some of these discord screenshots.

Entry #17 from the true lab is also important here, and i translated the whole thing because that makes this nice and easy. For those who don’t know, it reads:

“entry number seventeen.

dark darker yet darker.

the darkness keeps growing

the shadows cutting deeper

photon readings negative

this next experiment

seems

very

very

interesting

...

what do you two think?”

(This is actually written in all caps in the entry but i didn’t type it that way so whatever)

NOW. Crazy thoughts time. First off; the next experiment mentioned. What if that’s the roaring? This is a bit of a stretch but… well, to me, Gaster feels like something thats separated from the game. They can’t totally interact with it, just influence bits and pieces. And his question at the end, “what do you two think?” I’ve seen some theories about the two being Sans and Papyrus, but they seem a little far fetched… not that mine isn’t, of course, as i believe they’re talking to Jevil and Spamton. And this is why i think Gaster is Mike.

Below are screenshots of my original thoughts on this.

Now, i do admit, i hyperfixated on Gaster because i found them interesting, and canon may have blended a bit with my fanon, but i’ll try to keep it as unbiased as possible here. I believe the “next experiment” is the roaring because in the entry, they state that “the darkness keeps growing / the shadows cutting deeper / photon readings negative” (for non-sciencey people, photon readings being negative could mean a complete lack of any light OR the opposite of light/negative light). These all point to, well, darkness, “dark darker yet darker” after-all. And what’s in deltarune? Dark worlds. Boom, theres the simple theory.

Now, why is Gaster experimenting with the dark worlds and roaring? Possibly because he’s trying to merge Deltarune, the game, with the real world. Think about the in-game explanation of the roaring:

“When the LIGHT is subsumed by SHADOW

When the FOUNTAINS fill the sky

All will fall into CHAOS.

The TITANS will take form from the FOUNTAINS

And envelop the land in devastation.

The surviving Darkners, crushed by the darkness

Will slowly, one by one, turn into statues...

Leaving the Lightners to fend for themselves

Lost eternally in an endless night...”

It mentions Titans. Who could the Titans be? Us, of course. We see the characters as, well, characters. Fun toys to be played with and explored. If all the Darkners turn into statues, they will be dolls for the Titans to play with.

So what if Gaster is trying to bring upon the roaring, but is also trying to bring Darkners here, alive? Hence the manipulation of Jevil and Spamton. That’s their experiment. Can they merge our worlds while bringing those who were previously only code to life?

Now, of course, this is all fun video game stuff that can’t happen, but it’s fun to think about.

Anyway have an extra little joke i made.

Hello :) I wanted to brainstorm an ivo robitnik during the time of his uprising. Apparently present Egg is around his 40s?? So I was thinking this design is like late 20s-early 30s 🤔

a story about tumblr’s collective ability to fact check

As a leftist Jew who believes strongly in the cause of dignity and freedom for the Palestinian people, and that Israel has abused them, I am begging fellow leftists to understand that real life is not a comic book. A government being “the bad guy” in a situation does not automatically make anyone who opposes it “the good guy”.

Hamas denies the Holocaust. Hamas disseminates the Protocols of the Elders of Zion—the conspiracy theory it paints is what they mean by “Zionist”. Hamas forbids foreign aid educators from teaching human rights to Palestinians, and claims that even teaching that the Holocaust happened is a war crime. Hamas has written the aim of annihilating Israel (the country and its people) into its charter—the mass slaughter and violent expulsion of 7 million Jews from the land is written into its laws.

There is no crime any state could ever do that would justify any of that; there is no act of state repression that could ever make it acceptable to side with the organization spreading Nazi pamphlets and Holocaust denial.

Oppose Bibi Netanyahu. Oppose Israel’s far-right, authoritarian government. Oppose Likud’s policies. Oppose its violence against Palestinian civilians. That isn’t antisemitic. But Hamas is—verifiably, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to its core—antisemitic. Its portrayal of Israeli Jews as blood-thirsty, child-killing master manipulators that control international media and finance is antisemitic. Its insistence that Palestinian freedom necessitates the death & expulsion of Jews from the land is antisemitic. Its redefinition of “Zionism” as a pejorative to mean genocidal Jewish/Israeli Supremacy is antisemitic.

Supporting the Palestinian people in their plight is a noble and loving goal; please never stop that. But do not let Hamas co-opt that into excusing or denying their rampant antisemitism and war crimes.
