Jasmine is depicted as a firebender with her lightning tiger Rajah, Mulan is a member of the earth-bending Kyoshi Warrior clan, Pocahontas is appropriately an airbender, and Ariel is a waterbender. Ursula, the villain of The Little Mermaid, is a corrupted waterbender who controls Ariel through the dark art of bloodbending. To see the rest of the crossover artworks, head over to Cook’s website.

5 Stages of Fangirling - Animated Comedy Short (1 photo + 1 video)

I'm not going to pretend that I know what it's like to be a fangirl because I have no idea. But I assume Leigh Lahav knows what she's talking about in this animated short she put together called the "5 Stages of Fangirling." In all honesty though, I think a lot of fanboys go through the exact same stages!

THOR: THE DARK WORLD - Extended TV Spot (1 photo + 1 video)

Marvel has released a new extended TV spot for Thor: The Dark World, and as you've seen, it looks like he has his work cut out for him in this next movie. He's going to be fighting some real bad dudes in trying to once again save the universe. Unfortunately, there's really nothing new to see here, but the movie still look amazing! I can't wait to see how this story turns out, especially the ending. I think it's going to be pretty jacked up. The highly anticipated film hits theaters on November 8th, 2013.

Animal Panties With Ears (8 photo)

This is a collection of adorable panties with animal faces on the bum bum plus some BONUS ear flaps. The cutesy drawls come from Etsy shop Knickerocker and pairs start at $35 and go up from there. They’ve even got little crop tops to match each panty. Cuuute. I want the one that looks like a bear. You know, so I can still be bear assed. Then, I can be all “Hey which one of y’all wants to see my BEAR ASS?” and they’ll all think I mean “bare ass” and say “Dear God no! Take all my money, but please don’t show me your bare ass!” Man, it’ll be really funny. Sure, this whole situation is only going to end with my feelings getting hurt, but I guess I kind of asked for it.

Superhero Jewelry (3 photo)

This is a collection of Superhero Jewelry sold over at Etsy shop WhatsYourPassion. What’s my passion? Thanks for asking. I’ll tell you: Pizza. Plus beer. The shop’s got rings inspired by Batman, Spiderman, Green Lantern, and more! So many more. Okay, actually just like two or three more. If that. But who cares? It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Quality and also, finding someone who will buy this stuff for you. Because I sure as hell can’t afford it myself! I’d have to cut back on my pizza and beer intake and that is just not an option. Don’t ask me to sacrifice my passion — what are you, some kind of monster?

Nick Jonas Posted A Shirtless Selfie To Instagram (2 photo)

As if it wasn’t bad enough for us guys that Parks and Recreation actor Chris Pratt was out there, bragging about how shredded he looks for his leading role in Guardians of the Galaxy, now we’ve got former teen heart throb and current 20-year old heart throb, Nick Jonas, posting his own shirtless selfie on Instagram, all in the name of “fitness.” The youngest Jonas Brother prefaced his photo with the caveat, “I never do this but…” to which Huma Abedin rolled her eyes and said, “Heard that one before.” But Nick is actually an inspiring idol, as he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 13-years old, and he has done a great deal of work to raise awareness for the disease, both through his own Change for the Children Foundation and with a variety of other organizations. Maybe next he can start a foundation for insecure bloggers who swim in their t-shirts. For other people, I mean. Not me. I’m ripped, too. Shut up.

'Selfies At Serious Places' Shames Photographers (11 photo)

In the near future, all photos will be selfies. It's best to accept this inevitability now. The front page of the New York Times. A picture of Barack Obama taking a selfie with Karolos Papoulias? Sports photojournalists will be obsolete, having been replaced by athletes whipping out their cellphones and snapping a quick shot while running for a touchdown. It's sad, but it's true, and already, the negative effects of the selfie are being chronicled on "Selfies at Serious Places," which aims to shame the kind of people who, well, see above. THUMBS UP FOR GENOCIDE.

Fantastic Manipulations Performed Before The Golden Age Of Photoshop (23 photo)

You’ll rarely see a photo today that hasn’t been manipulated, generously enhanced or overlayed with dozens of filters, but in truth this has been happening since the dawn of photography itself – its just that the process of manipulation has evolved. In the early 1800s and even through to the 1900s, if you wanted to alter your photo to create an illusion it was an incredibly labor intensive process. There was combination printing, photomontages and even overpainting – all took time and all had significant drawbacks. Which makes the following collection of fun and somewhat illusory photographs all the more impressive. They were created during an era where you genuinely had to be measured and considered in how you were adapting the film negative itself. There was no magical ‘undo’ button, just lots of trial and error and trying to adapt the technology as best you could. But its safe to say, thanks to the creativity of those involved, all of these images bear little resemblance to their original photographs – it’s amazing what a little magic can do isn’t it?

15 Cartoons Better at Twerking Than Miley (14 photo)

If Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMA has turned you off of twerking, or if you just find cartoon butts bouncing around hilarious, this is for you. Or, you could look at it this way — we went through the trouble of parsing through all the twerking GIFs and selecting only the ones that don’t require a NSFW tag. Frankly, it doesn’t matter how you look at it, as long as you look at it, because cartoon butts bouncing up and down ARE hilarious. End of story.

See Miley Cyrus on Classic Hip-Hop Album Covers (11 photo)

Miley Cyrus is apparently ratchet now, and her attempts at twerking seem to suggest she is really trying to mean it. As we sit back and watch her try to ingratiate herself with the hip-hop community, let’s take a moment to think about what could’ve been if Miley had been around during the ’90s and early ’00s and discovered rap when some classic albums were released. Here are some beloved hip-hop albums with Miley on the cover courtesy of TheDrop.fm. As unfortunate as her VMA performance was, it could be way, way worse.

Ice Cream Monster Truck (3 photo)

Czech car manufacturer ŠKODA, best known for bringing us The Manliest Stroller EVAR, is back to jack up something new — an ice cream truck. Enter The World’s Biggest Ice Cream Van (EVAR!!!!), a 5 1/2 ton, 21 foot tall monster truck with 5 foot wheels that serves ice cream. Well this certainly beats the hell out of my neighborhood ice cream truck. A, it’s not even a truck, it’s just a van with all the seats taken out. B, they play Christmas music all year round. Do you know how it feels to hear Jingle Bells blasting over some shitty speakers while you’re sweating in your own apartment, but you’re too lazy to peel yourself off the sofa and go get an ice cream? Hell. It feels like hell. And a little bit like irony, but in the Alanis Morsette sort of way.

Revisiting First 'Madden NFL' Soundtrack From 2003 (1 photo + 11 video)

HAPPY MADDEN RELEASE DAY EVERYONE. It's a big event for the video game and sports industries alike, as well as for people who own $250 DeShaun Foster jerseys and aren't above going to Walmart at midnight to pick up a copy (guilty). Our own Dan Seitz already wrote his defense of Madden NFL 25, but I want to take a look and listen to something that's much tougher to defend: the first Madden EA Trax soundtrack. It came back in 2002, when Marshall Faulk graced the cover of Madden 2003, and I'm already sorry for all future Audiovent references. For everyone who hasn't Eternal Sunshine'd Audiovent, though, let's go the tape.

Extraordinarily Odd Photographs From A 1972 Rothschild Party (20 photo)

There have been few dinners parties quite like it. It’s December 12 1972, the night at which Marie-Hélène de Rothschild held her famous Surrealist Ball at Ferrières. As you can probably guess by her surname, she was a member of the ultra-wealthy Rothschild banking family. Few made the guest-list but if you did, it was the ultimate seal of approval from Parisian high-society. The requirements for the evening were “Black tie, long dresses & Surrealists heads” nothing more, nothing less. In keeping with the theme, the invitation which she sent was actually written backwards – to read the invite you had to hold it up to a mirror. Now when money is no object, the only limit is ones imagination and it’s fair to say that Marie-Hélène certainly had plenty in supply. Firstly she insisted the iconic Château where the party was to be housed, be floodlight with sweeping amber lights, designed to create the illusion the building was on fire. Once instead, she made sure the entire staircase was filled with servants and footmen dressed as cats – all in various poses of sleep. And once you’d overcome that initial shock, guests were then forced to enter a hellish labyrinthine maze – where should you get lost, one of the “cats” would rescue you and whisk you away where you’d be formally greeted by Marie-Hélène herself. On this particular night, she was wearing a ginormous giant’s head that was crying tears of diamonds. Naturally.

Impressive Portrait Of Yao Ming Painted Using A Basketballd (3 photo + 1 video)

If you haven’t already guessed, we’re big fans of portrait art here on SBSG, but we have to admit it’s not every day you see artwork painted using merely a basketball! But that’s precisely the tool Malaysian artist Hong Yi used to create her portrayal of Chinese basketball player Yao Ming. Below is a time-lapse video of her bouncing the ball and bringing her creation to life using nothing more than red paint. Quite how she achieved such an impressive feat is still somewhat of a mystery, but then again that’s half the fun isn’t it? In her own words “I love to paint, but not with a paintbrush.”, she’s true to her word too. You can see the full range of her artistic experiments via redhongyi.com, there’s not a brush in sight.

The International Trailer For 'The Counselor' Looks Awesome (1 photo + 1 video)

In case you were wondering, Ridley Scott’s and Cormac McCarthy’s The Counselor still looks pretty ridiculously amazing. I know, I was also starting to worry that maybe the first trailer and clips were just an illusion and that I imagined the whole thing, but fortunately the international trailer was released this morning and now I feel a hell of a lot better. Javier Bardem still looks like your dad strung out on ecstasy in a mid-life crisis, while Brad Pitt is pretty intimidating as a long-haired cowboy. And Cameron Diaz looks better than she has in quite some time, probably because she’s being mean and I just love it when girls pretend like they don’t like me. “Here, have all of the money in my wallet,” I’ll say as she puts a cigarette out on my face. Anyway, enjoy the new international trailer.

Shocking News: Jon 'Bones' Jones Wants To Be A Famous Actor (1 photo)

A few years ago, Strikeforce Women’s Middleweight Championship challenger Gina Carano figured out that she was pretty and people liked her, so she stopped getting punched in the face for a living and started doing MMA fight scenes in movies like Haywire. UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey’s is currently going through the same thing, starring alongside 40 60-year old men in The Expendables 3. One of the many conspiracy theories about Chris Weidman’s Middleweight Championship victory is that Anderson Silva threw the fight so he’d have more free time to make horrible-looking MMA movies. Hell, even Ken Shamrock was in Champions back in the day. MMA has proven to be a surprisingly-easy springboard into mainstream movie stardom, so it shouldn’t surprise you that UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones suddenly wants to be an actor. Or that he wants to be like The Rock, who is in, like, 65 of the 67 movies released this year. “I’d like to model my acting career on Dwayne Johnson, the way he came out of [WWE] and started off tough guy roles and then moved over to doing ‘Tooth Fairy,’” the 24-year-old Jones told MMAjunkie.com during an appearance at the UFC’s “World Tour” in Los Angeles. “That’s when you really saw that he could act, and he’s the one I admire and respect a lot, so I know I’d love to model my acting career after (him).” Yes, we all really saw The Rock’s acting chops in Tooth Fairy, because being tough and wearing a tutu means “acting.” We saw Hulk Hogan’s acting ability in Mr. Nanny. But don’t think it’s all tough guy roles and then ballerina costumes for Bones. He’s going to ply his craft!

Watch Pearl Jam's 'Mind Your Manners' Video (1 photo + 1 video)

Pearl Jam‘s love-hate relationship with making music videos is beginning to lean back toward “love.” After winning Best Video of the Year at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards for the stupidly controversial “Jeremy,” Pearl Jam asserted that they were done with the medium. To quote bassist Jeff Ament, “I don’t want people to remember our songs as videos.” (That sentiment lasted until 1998, although to be fair, “Do the Evolution” was entirely animated.) In 2002, five live performances of songs from Riot Act were filmed and released as videos, and the same thing happened again for cuts from Pearl Jam and Backspacer. The video for “Mind Your Manners,” a single from the band’s forthcoming Lightning Bolt, isn’t as conceptually interesting as “Jeremy,” but there are visual nods to September 11th, so…that’s something? Also, a lot of lightning. Who doesn’t love a bolt of lightning?
