Motivators and Lolerfs (image-heavy)

[ryos]

Heh. Much as I like TAG, the meme just isn't that common.

Wait - it has to be a meme? I recognized it as a reference to the classical "Igor" hunchback servant. Didn't think it had anything to do with the Internet...

I took the Conan quote from the demotivator thread and made a full-blown, non-demotivating fanmix.

LOL!! Good one!

I took the Conan quote from the demotivator thread and made a full-blown, non-demotivating fanmix.

O_O Now that is something entirely else. It never occurred to me to use deadpan humor with that quote (and then play off the sexual tension, too) - I just went straight for the subtle-as-a-twoll kill-em-with-action approach with my demotivator.

Well played, sir. Well played.

(I gotta learn to do speech bubbles properly... I guess it's easier to add them than to move or remove them.)

[Scientivore]

Thanks, guys! That really means a lot to me.

I had a lot of fun with the writing, like how "Titans' toenails" just sounded right. (I don't remember that phrase in canon.) Since I don't know much about drawing, I was especially tickled by how easy it was to change their glaring into mischief: just one little line per face!

(I gotta learn to do speech bubbles properly... I guess it's easier to add them than to move or remove them.)

I've been meaning to ask, would there be interest in a tutorial on intermediate remix techniques like erasing speech bubbles and adding new ones? what about basic techniques like cropping, resizing and adding text?

And the tweak of the quote to lead into the double-entendre was the icing on the cake.

I've learned a few things by trial and error; I ought to figure out how to write them up so that somebody else knows what I'm describing....

[TigerHunter]

This one's not that good, but I figure I might as well post it.

Alliteration FTW. And the original line is *ahem* here.

Yes, I noticed that too. "It's the little things which make a difference sometimes", indeed.

Yes, I'd appreciate the intermediate guide, if you have the time for that sort of thing. It would go well in the Arts and Crafts forum. For my part, I should probably start by reading some of the normal guides on the GIMP or OOo Draw, instead of trying things randomly to see what works. (Not that it hasn't been fun so far...)

It's a good idea - I like how you clipped the text from the original Zero Wing animation (unless you found one helluva font there...). Maybe you should try laying out the image and the "text" side-by-side, like in your "Evil Personified" piece - it would look a bit less like the game, but it suits the panel's shape better.

Just my .02 Rands.

[Griemont]

I got up in the middle of the night to work on this burst of inspiration. Are you not entertained?!

Alternative title text: "When Stanley dreams..."

Is it wrong that this image made me think of the Zealot from StarCraft singing Master of Puppets?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it, but it looked worse... oh well. Thanks anyways.

Oh yeah! Thanks, that got rid of the vague, nagging feeling that I'd seen something like it...somewhere.

Be advised that the following Wanda/Jillian scene remix breaks the boundaries scrupulously observed by Rob and Jamie and explicitly depicts a certain activity of consuming interest to the fans....

(I am, of course, referring to breaking the fourth wall in order to have the characters explicitly generating grist for the speculation mill. That should go without saying, really. After all, what else could I possibly have meant?)

Heh. The Seven Deadly Sins is an interesting template. The Seven Cardinal Virtues would seem a logical follow-up, though it might be a bit harder to find appropriate frames.

see ansom, vinnie, and webinar.

I would have recommended the picture of Parson curled up on the cloth golem rug for sloth.
Good job, though.

More to the point, there's a lot of variations on the theme of Virtues...

I know the Kindness, Faith, Prudence, Charity, Wisdom spiel, but that's a list of only five Virtues...

The Christian Seven tends to be Humility, Chastity, Abstinence, Diligence, Kindness, Patience, Liberality, which directly oppose the Deadly Sins.

Or there's Valour, Generosity, Humility, Kindness, Patience, Diligence, Liberality, which is different still!

And there's an eighth virture: Justice, which doesn't seem to fit in anywhere...

Edit: I'm going to take up the Christian Cardinal Virtues. Seems the most logical, as they are meant to directly counter the deadly sins...

The seven deadly virtues, those ghastly little traps
Oh no, milord, they were not meant for me
Those seven deadly virtues were made for other chaps,
Who love a life of failure and ennui!
Take courage- now there's a sport
An invitation to the state of rigor mort
And purity- a noble yen
And very restful every now and then~
I find humility, means to be hurt
It's not the earth the meek inherit, it's the dirt
Honesty is fatal; it should be taboo
Diligence, a fate I would hate!
If charity means giving, I give it to you
And fidelity is only for your mate
You'll never find a virtue unstatusing my quo, or making my Beelzebubble burst
Let others take the high road, I shall take the low
I cannot wait to rush in, where angels fear to go
With all those sev-en dead-ly vir-tues; free-and-happy-little-me has not... been... CURSED!

To summarize: Courage, purity, humility, dilligence, charity, honesty, fidelity- According to Mordred, anyways

Made this quickly in paint

[Scientivore]

Led by Katherine Dahlsgaard, we read Aristotle and Plato, Aquinas and Augustine, the Old Testament and the Talmud, Confucius, Buddha, Lao-Tze, Bushido (the samurai code), the Koran, Benjamin Franklin, and the Upanishads—some two hundred virtue catalogues in all. To our surprise, almost every single one of these traditions flung across three thousand years and the entire face of the earth endorsed six virtues:

• Wisdom and knowledge
• Courage
• Love and humanity
• Justice
• Temperance
• Spirituality and transcendence

Sorry Jindra, I'd already started on this set. If I have time later on, I might be bored enough to do a set of all the other virtues.. Still.

Oh wow! I just found out that there've been lolbuffys since at least May 31. It's an absolute goldmine of lolmemes.

Incidentally, it's possible that we technically beat the Whedon fandoms to fanlolling by a day, thanks to jannyblue's LiveJournal version of Nom Nom Nom from May 30 that SteveMB linked after seeing FuzzyJuan's supercute version on July 1. It's also possible that someone set up the site for lolbuffys because people were already making them but I like the other possibility better.

Me too.

[TigerHunter]

Alright, dumb question. What's the 'traditional' font that appears in lolimages? Like 'o rly/ya rly' and 'i can has cheeseburger'.

Erfworld has started affecting my brain. I forgot that there was a space between o and rly.
