My First Post! :] I Hope Y’all Like It Like I Do, And I Hope To Post More!

[COMING SOON]

Heheh oc content :]

YESH its been a while ~_~ I’m so sorry for the inconvenience but I’ve been getting better with my art lately and I have to say I’ve improved..

Slightly… OKOK but I will post some of my art journey from these past few months so mwahaha

if you are recommending for people to watch the 2007 Flatland film please at the absolute bare minimum warn them about all of the flashing light and spinning camerra.

Here is a post with timestamps.

this movie can induce migranes, motion-sickness, and even seizures. You need to warn people about this before you tell them to watch it.

it'd also be great if you could all warn people the movie's made by a racist conservative.

Sup

So uh art THATS it

(Why does tumblr make the quality so bad ._.)

List your fandoms now. I want to know which fandoms we share!

To put it simply my friendly friend, I’ve been in so many fandoms from 2014 to now; that if I ever want to talk to someone about them, by 2070 I still wouldn’t be done XD but the main few I’m in now is bugbo, tf2, castle crashers, Octonauts,Minecraft(a whole), Roblox,i.o.n,and bugsnax!

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin Abbot Abbot, published in 1884, is public domain. That means it has no copyright, and belongs to everyone.

This post will have links to as many versions and adaptations of it as I can find, and will be updated whenver I find new links to add.

None of these links are piracy, because you literally cannot pirate what has no copyright. Anyone who tells you you must pay to read the original Flatland is scamming you.

The only time you should be spending money on Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, is if you find a cool physical copy that you want specifically.

Check the original post before reblogging to look for updates if you are seeing this post days, weeks, or months after I originally post it.

Here’s an animation from 1965. Contains some flashing lights.

Here’s a stop motion film from 1982 in Italian with English subtitles

Here’s an animation from 2006

The 2007 Flatland film by Ladd Ehlinger is free on youtube. Unfortunately Ladd Ehlinger is a virulently racist and misogynistic conservative who thinks feeding school kids is the same thing as slavery. His film is filled with almost constant flashing lights and spinning cameras that cause headaches, motion sickness, migraines, and seizures.

Here is a link to timestamps for these if you still choose to watch it.

The film ignores all of the politics from the original novel because the creator of the film agrees with them. You are much better off watching another visual adaption or reading the original or translated book.

Especially if you suffer from photosensitivity or motion-sickness, this film will make you want to throw up.

Public domain:

An Episode of Flatland: or How a Plane Folk Discovered the Third Dimension. With Which is Bound Up an Outline of the History of Unæa by Charles Howard Hinton. (1907) Public domain, unlimited reading and downloading. It's terrible. But you can rewrite it to make it not terrible.

Other copyright:

Sphereland: A Fantasy About Curved Spaces and an Expanding Universe, by Dionys Burger. (1983) Can be borrowed by 1 person at a time. It's racist. Was intended to be a sequel to Flatland, but the author's racist and failed every lesson Flatland tried to teach.

The Planiverse: Computer Contact With a Two-dimensional World by Alexander Keewatin Dewdney (1984) Can be borrowed by 1 person at a time. It's the best related one so far.
