OKAY THATS ALL I LOVE IDOF BYE

just so you guys know all of my posts have elevator music playing over them by default and you should imagine as such

rb to power up your blog

Oh my gosh, someone who's seen Flatland.

Last week my math teacher had a workshop where we watched Flatland together. She'd already shown us all the other Flatland (the one you have to pay to watch), and loves that one.

This Flatland (the one we refer to as "Nightmare Flatland") probably changed us all as people and ascended us to the fourth dimension. We shall never be the same again.

I'd like to ask: what's your favorite quote from the movie? There's a lot of surprisingly good ones

ah, wasnt expecting this ask!!

i've heard a lot of stories of people finding flatland, somehow, through school. most of the time its them watching the film in like 6th grade or whatever. sort of wish i discovered it that way, but nah, i just sorta stumbled across it one day!

i assume you mean flatland 2007, the film... which, in that case, i have a LOT of favorite quotes! couldn't possibly pick just one. (i dont really feel like listing them all though cause then i'd have to THINK about it, gross.../j will prob edit this post later when i do feel like listing them)

and yeah, i've seen the one you have to pay to watch as well! the first and second one. love em both!

flatland did also, indeed, change me as a person, as it did you.

reblog to bap prev with your paw

YEAHHHHH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE HAHA ITS ALR MAN!! happens to me all the time too no worries

i need to post their new designs anyway

ENOUGH DRAWING PEOPLE'S OCS. /SILLY WHERE ARE *YOUR* OCS I AM WILLING TO DRAW THEM >:D

OH! OH OH OH OKAY OKAY HERES SOME OF MY OCS

FLATLAND OCS YAYYY!:

so the first one is Marley, or M. Cube if you wanna call her that. The second one is Lyn, or L. Line.

I have yet to talk about these guys all that much, but the whole gist of their story is that Marley talks to Lyn about the third dimension.

To go more in depth: Their story takes place way in the past, long before the events of canon Flatland. Lyn is just your average line, though people don't really seem to look at her as "average" because she doesn't know how to talk to people, and also she's an absolute bitch. Yeahhh Lyn kind of just... doesn't like anyone in general... She's also a girlkisser btw lol, so's Marley.

But anyway, while Lyn is just living her life minding her business, Marley pretty much shows up out of nowhere to teach Lyn about the the wonderful fantastic world of Spaceland, yayyy. Naturally, Lyn is kind of skeptical and is her usual bitchy-self, but since she's always kind of questioned if everything she was ever told was right, Marley is able to get her to believe that there is in fact a third dimension relatively easily. She never directly shows Lyn the third dimension, though, mostly because she doesn't have the technology to do so (because if she tried to lift Lyn out of Flatland with her bare hands, she would die lol.) But with enough explaining and convincing, Lyn is taught about the third dimension, which is great for her.

So anyway, after that, Marley just leaves immediately which, naturally, Lyn is pretty devastated about (imagine if you were visited by a higher being and told about some awesome other world and then it just leaves.) She tries to keep this knowledge to herself for a few days, because she's already bad enough at conveying any info at all, but after a while she can't take it anymore and finally tries to tell someone. Which eventually leads to her being hunted down and executed, pretty much.

Oh, but thats not the end of the story!

This is 16-cell, A.K.A E. Hexadecachoron or Edgar. A being from the fourth dimension, or as I like to sometimes call it, Angleland.

So anyway, after a while, Marley goes to check on Lyn only to find that she's, y'know, fucking dead. So this is genuinely heartbreaking for Marley, because she had gotten attached to Lyn, then found out she's dead? Yeah. Sad. But before Marley can be all depressed about it, she's visited by 16-cell, the 4D guy. 16-cell tells Marley that he's here to teach her about the fourth dimension, much like Marley had come to teach Lyn about the third. Only this time, he actually shows her the fourth dimension. So after a while, while Marley is in Angleland, 16-cell tells her that he knows about Lyn, and says that Marley could see her again (because the fourth dimension is kind of time, kind of a spacial dimension, its sorta complicated...) to which, obviously, Marley agrees to do. So they travel through time, back to when Lyn was still alive, and 16-cell actually shows her the third—and fourth!—dimension. But anyway, Lyn and Marley reunite, yuri, the end. (For now, until I add more details to their story... thats just what I have right now...)

Sorry, just wanted to rant about them! I love my silly shape gals... Also maybe if you know their story you'll be able to make more silly drawings, so. That's sorta what I was going for.

Hope that all made sense btw.

I HAVE OTHER OCS TOO! but uh... I don't really have their stories fleshed out, nor have i named them, so right now I kind of just have a bunch of spare shape guys lying around. So yeah.

ILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR ART OF MY SILLIES

Slugcats!!

this was a little rushed <:]
