Some Reason I Just Wanted To Redraw This Photo…

For the past month or so I’ve been drawing these little Gravity Falls vignettes based upon memories of vacations my brother and I spent at my grandparents’ summer cottage in Nova Scotia. Click through for captions explaining my strange childhood. I did something similar previously here.

Come to think of it, most of the times Stan shows up in these he’s standing in for a memory of my grandmother, probably because she has a rather larger-than-life personality. It’s a shame I didn’t realize sooner, though, because in his own subtle, quiet way, my grandfather is the biggest troll in the world. Ah well, I’m too tired of working on these for now, maybe I’ll do another set later on.

I WOULD PLAY A GAME WRITTEN BY THIS MAN IN A HEARTBEAT

I’m also really glad that the finale of Gravity Falls didn’t hook anybody up. Gideon didn’t have some final extra moment with Mabel implying anything might go anywhere now that he’s learned and the secret letter Wendy gives to Dipper just turns out to be from everyone, collectively. That so goddamn sweet. The closest thing was just the episode confirming what was already obvious to everybody and I’m glad Disney allowed them to come out and say it, especially after the network made them nix an explicit portrayal of gay characters once before.

positivity….?

Boycott “The Forest” and watch the documentary, “Aokigahara: Suicide Forest”, instead.

Aokigahara: Suicide Forest:

Educates viewers about Aokigahara and the issue of suicide in Japan

It’s a documentary so everything stated is based on facts.

The Forest:

Romanticizes and trivializes suicide, death and the Aokigahara forest which is a real forest in Japan where people go to commit suicide. In fact, suicides in the forest are still happening today so it is extremely disrespectful. It’s been happening for the last 30 years—over 100 bodies are found in Aokigahara every year.

Suicide in Japan is a national crisis.

The mental health stigma in Japan is horrible.

The film is set in Japan but the main cast is dominantly white with a white female blonde lead. Not only that, it also doesn’t mention depression. This then leads to ableist erasure of Asian people, especially Japanese people, with mental health issues.

The film perpetuates the model minority myth which assumes that Asians are universally intelligent or rich, are able-bodied and don’t suffer from mental illness. Everybody believes Asians are rich and smart enough to access healthcare when in fact, this isn’t true at all.

Instead of talking about the real important issues happening today, Hollywood took the tragedies of the Aokigahara forest suicides and turned them into a Hollywood horror movie which in turn, dehumanizes not only Asians around the globe affected by mental health, but those who have already committed suicide. 

Please do not see The Forest in the cinemas. Do not buy tickets to see it. A terrible movie does not deserve any support.

Me when school ends

I was requested to do undyne and alphys dancing but then I couldn’t stop. I tried some animation techniques I never used before, I learned a couple things!
