If you must blink, do it now.
Fun fact: The character from the 2009 stop-motion movie Coraline, Mr. Bobinsky, wears throughout the movie the medal given to the Liquidators of the Chernobyl Disaster, the personnel tasked with the clean up operation of the destroyed reactor 4, the city of Pripyat, and the Zone of Alienation, not to mention those tasked with the construction of the Shelter Object (Об'єкт “Укриття”), better known as the sarcophagus, the structure that contains the reactor 4, and those who served as helicopter pilots, firemen, miners and divers during the initial efforts to stop the spread of radioactive contamination.
Confirming his status as a former Liquidator, while at the same time explaining his unique skin color and physique: Radiation contamination.
“We cut a trough into the set, and we put a piece of rigging that goes under the set and into the mother’s stomach. It’s a little creepy, I know. But it allows us to slide her along the surface of the sand, and every time she reaches out and claws into the sand, that’s all a plasticine or clay surface that we have to carve into and move a frame at a time. We’d have little bits of sand that were flying up in the air, so we take these little bits of foam or clay, we put them on bug pins or wires or little bits of fishing line, and we have those elevated and move them a frame at a time to make it look like it’s bursting out of the ground.” - Travis Knight
today i’m thinking about: this Sudowoodo character in SM that can just randomly speak English in the localized versions of the games, assumedly because nobody in the localization team caught on to the fact that Sudowoodo’s Japanese name is Usokkii, and it was saying “uso” as in Usokkii…not literally saying the Japanese word for “lies”
