tumblr is kind of an unhealthy environment to be in sometimes because often it’s so black and white

either you’re right, and you’re an amazing god worthy of praise, or you’re wrong, and you’re a horrible monster who deserves to die

i just saw a post that said that if you don’t understand how minimum wage and art commissions work, then you’re “the worst kind of garbage shit trash”. like… after a certain point it’s time to calm down

FAN APPRECIATION POST

This year I hit 50,000 followers. And it seems a lot of people are doing art for the 30 Day Challenge and also a handful of art inspired by mine, which seems to mean cross sections and graphic shapes haha I dig it. It’s both humbling and touching. And there’s more of it too!

Here are the names of these fine ladies and gentlemen:

quagmere, monosattva, linaii, chowowpow, Kat JK Lee, pinksparkledogs, tohdaryl, aftergani

Hope you guys enjoyed your Thanksgiving! I genuinely realized how thankful I am for my followers this past week. I was ready to lose some followers, but I came back to find I actually gained a few. You guys are keepers, I’m taking you home to meet my parents. Yall can be bae.

So to say thanks I’m dedicating a bunch posts to you guys today. Starting with some news I’ve been planning for a bit. Website Update!

All my illustration work is now cataloged and viewable in the full resolution I originally painted it in. No resizing, no optimizing, no cutting my image into parts. Which means a few pieces I never posted before are also up, like Ouroboros up there. And all my gifs have no frame count limits so pieces like the noodle gif are up in full.

Whenever I post from now on I’ll have a link to a full res version on my website. Hope you guys enjoy all the extra detail. A moment of silence for the horizontal slider it replaced.

You can find my website at sachinteng.com

Sachin Teng Illustration thanks I'm so arigato for you

nani was NINETEEN and such a fucking badass who was so protective of lilo and just ROLLED with aliens being a thing towards the end of the movie. #1 Disney relative of all time.

I have honestly been waiting AGES for the right gifset to express the wonderful perfection that is Nani. She is not only protective of Lilo, she respects the way Lilo’s imagination and quirkiness works.

Pudge the fish got a peanut butter sandwich every Thursday. Nani does not argue the logic of feeding him, only suggests an alternative sandwich when they are out of peanut butter. Lilo was allowed to take as many photos of whatever mundane or odd subjects as she wanted and Nani would get them developed. Nani recognized what were important habits for Lilo.

When Lilo asks for a pet lobster, Nani does not tell her that lobsters are not pets. She tells her, “We don’t have a lobster door, we have a dog door.” She makes sure the woman at the pound does not tell Lilo that “Stitch is not a real name”.

NANI SPENDS THE ENTIRE MOVIE MAKING SURE THAT LILO NEVER FEELS LIKE HER IDEAS ARE WRONG.

The only time we truly see Nani get angry with Lilo is when she is scared of Lilo being taken away. Nani spends the entire movie stressed out over taking care of her sister, trying to find a job, trying to make sure her sister has a friend, and yet she is always willing to put that extra effort, over and over again, to make sure that Lilo always believes that anything is possible.

This is a great moment because she probably *remembered* that Lilo said this once. And you know what? Shes not ending this day by letting her little sister think this is her fault. She’s not having an easy time trying to be a parent, but she knows none of this is her sisters fault, and shes not going to let her think it is. 

And half of her terror of losing Lilo isnt even just losing her family; its knowing that wherever Lilo goes, they won’t know how to do these things. They won’t understand her. 

What a good movie.

Casual reminder that the reason Lilo obsessively feeds the fish is because her parents died in a rainstorm and she firmly believes Pudge controls the weather. If you pay attention to the feeding sequence you will notice that storm clouds recede and dissipate, a visual narrative that confirms this.

It’s not just a habit. It’s a very real part of Lilo’s healing process and Nani understands that.

Also if you pay attention to Nani’s room you’ll notice she had surfing posters and trophies. She was very much on her way to being a pro surfer but had to give it up to become the adult Lilo needed her to be.

And not ONCE does Nani show her sister any resentment. It’s worth it to keep her family together. This is a young woman who is willing to sacrifice all of her dreams and make incredibly grown up decisions.

What I am saying is Nani is the best disney princess of all time. Disney Queen even.

Dean De Blois, ladies and gentlemen, genius director and writer of friggin’ amazing nonnormative characters, family and relationships. I may worship that man, a little bit. From Lilo and Stitch to HHTTYD, he really gives us amazing movies.
