Full-color commission for Sarah Tilgner (@a-mellowtea)! Featuring her DnD character Dizae, a faun druid, with a wolf spirit. Observing a beautiful scenery, I suppose 💚

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

[a-mellowtea]

in case no one's asked yet, what are your thoughts on the v9 epilogue animatic?

In a word? Decent.

I know the tropes they're playing with. The "desperate and despondent pulled back to hope by the fortunate return of the heroes" is paint-by-numbers and, even without it, how RWBY would've probably ended post-Volume 9 is fairly clear in my view. The Vacuo subplot is dealt with, likely with some character deaths; Salem either rocks up or the protags go on the offensive and go to her in Vale; big fight, they get all the Relics, summon the Gods, and Ruby and co. talk no jutsu their way into a happy ending via a reiteration of the Blacksmith's dialogue on the true nature of balance and an insistence that Ozma's task of unity was fulfilled in a way that matters.

Which, honestly? Is fine. It works. The epilogue works - the character beats are there, the additional stress of Vacuo being the only functionally defensible Kingdom left is a little cheaply done but overall alright, and seeing the road laid ahead by it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think, if that is the way they intended to go, it would have been a decent end for an overall decent series.

#rwby #i will also say that i was really happy to watch it with friends #feeding off their energy and investment made it pretty enjoyable

Just a question, the rwby sendoff vid was made by you, it isn't official, right? The roosterteeth presents at the beginning had me doubting myself until i saw your tags, but I thought I'd better make sure.

I'm flattered that it was a good enough edit to come off as official, but no - it's my own. RoosterTeeth won't be shutting down for another thirty-five-or-so days, and the future of RWBY is still very much up in the air. The sendoff was simply a "thank you" to the former crew, who I unfortunately doubt will be following the IP wherever it ends up.

As the fool who sent wondyweiss that ask after having *totally* missed the '-lance' part in Neath's tweets: thank you for the correction. That wasn't deliberate, but it was *contemptibly* stupid of me, and I owe everyone who reblogged that an apology.

No worries, nonny! It happens. There's a lot of mud in the water when it comes to RoosterTeeth, and at this point I really can't fault folks for jumping on things. I'm glad I could clear it up a bit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. Pump the brakes.

@wondyweiss (apologies for the tag but it bears a pinging), to clarify: Neath Oum did not do his voice acting work as Lie Ren for free. He was doing the work freelance, aka. an independent contractor on per-job pay rather than a permanent employee, which is typical for voice work in the current industry.

Nowhere in his Twitter thread from March does he state that he was not paid for his work.

I don't particularly like RoosterTeeth as a company either, but let's try to parse the real issues from the actual and absolute bullshit.

So apparently Neath Oum responded on twitter to pestering about how Chicken Dentures' collapse affects him. Good news: not in any 'I was directly depending on this shit company' sense-his actual employment is totally unconnected. Less good but unsurprising news: his Ren-voicing was unpaid.

What the fuck

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

The things we grow to care about, that leave an indelible mark, come and go throughout our lives. When the final page of a chapter comes, take a deep breath, and carry what you gained onto the next.

Thank you, to everyone who worked on this series over the years.

First trailer for Dreamworks' ‘THE WILD ROBOT' and HOLY FUCK ITS GORGEOUS???????

[a-mellowtea]

small hopefully not too weird question! Where’d you find the scans of James from the rwby promenade book in ur last post?? I’ve never seen them posted before 👀 unless you just. Bought the book then disregard me LOL

No worries whatsoever lol. I pre-ordered the book last summer! After several production delays, I got my copy on Monday (and apparently will be several weeks ahead of those who ordered direct through Crunchyroll/Bandai Namco?).

Any Ironwood concept art or things related to him in the RWBY Archives?

Here's what I've got from a few quick scans (translated to English by yours truly):

Nothing we haven't seen before, unfortunately, save for the detailing of his flask from Volume 2.

#rwby #james ironwood #i wish they'd included a more detailed turnaround for due process but hey #can't throw everything in there #you wanna know what's hilarious though? #i have a piece of super early concept art that's not in here
