So excited to finally share this film!

It was such a blast to work with @studio105animation as a VFX animator. I still see dust clouds and explosions when I close my eyes ( ˘o˘ )

Growing as an artist on your own is one thing, but growing through collaboration is a special experience I wouldn't trade for the world. I've met so many incredible people through this project and this studio, and I can't wait to see what the next project will bring!

AFTER A YEAR SINCE ITS COMPLETION, YOU CAN FINALLY WATCH OUR SHORT FILM, SPACEBREAK RODEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s because it is! It was such a blast to be able to work with Kate Micucci!

Seems legit

we all hear about kudzu being introduced as "erosion control" in the South but I don't think contemporary people understand on a gut level what that means

these are images from a 1930s pamphlet that endorsed kudzu, entitled "stop gullies: save your farm"

It was Bad.

Invasive plants need to be understood as part of a much larger cycle of incredible violence against the land.

For context: erosion on that scale occurred as a result of our clear-cutting entire states. The land east of the Mississippi used to be covered in old-growth forest to an extent that we literally can’t imagine anymore, because most of us have never seen a forest over 100 years old. It turns out if you remove all vegetation from a landscape, you end up with a bunch of loose soil ready to move downstream. A fast-growing plant that covers everything in dense vegetation sounds like salvation when you’re surrounded by 40-foot deep gullies that get wider with every rainstorm.

A lot of the south too was covered in Canebreaks, basically bamboo forests like a lot of South Asia, I don't know the specifics of the ecology, but bamboo being a grass I assume is rhizomatic like other grasses and forms a big net of roots that prevent erosion. *I assume* (pleez ecologists weigh in)

Yes, the destruction of Canebrakes was a direct cause of this erosion we see here. Canebrakes were destroyed, using slave labor, to make room for cotton plantations. You can read about it here.

Canebrakes built up incredibly rich, fertile soil and are amazing at preventing erosion. They form incredibly strong mats of rhizomes. And their roots are known to go 10 feet deep into the soil.

The erosion we see in these pictures was a result, very much directly, of the Canebrakes being destroyed.

This is a case study in how violence against ecosystems goes so closely hand in hand with violence against people. The violence against the indigenous caretakers of the land, and the violence against the enslaved captives that were forced to clear the Rivercane and work the cotton fields that would degrade the soil into nothing.

Finished rtfa a few weeks ago and thought of this but in between moving and meeting merch deadlines I haven’t had the time to sit down and draw it

"wholesome" and "pure" are not antonyms of "sexual" btw

some of the most unwholesome twisted shit you can imagine happens in fully platonic situations

it's almost like we shouldn't assign morality to sexual activity or lack thereof

the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists

we're going to try again witha little but minimal casting

IT will happen in August of 2026. like to charge and reblog to cast but cast sparingly

Wait stop. everyone +like now and spread it a little but cast on the same day in August. lets try August 6th or something.

CAST NOW
