I still think about qsmp purgatory
To me, that arc was absolutely perfect.
The stakes were so high, we genuinely thought some or all of the eggs might die depending on who the winners ended up being, and no one knew exactly how that would play out, so you had to just try damn hard to win for your kid. But there was even that chance that if your team did win that would be the wrong outcome and your kids would die.
But anyway the atmosphere was insane
That eye and the ominous fucking voice, that opening animatic of the mystery guy walking into a surveillance setup, monitoring everyone on the island, that’s so cool. So much mystery, so much implied power.
And then we get there and girlies have NOTHING. And it was fucking bugged or something for the first part so no one could fucking mine cobblestone. Then the random disadvantages pile on top of that, now you’ve got to worry about thirst, all the food is going bad and won’t stack.
And I watched Bolas pov so that’s what I am talking about:
This group was at every conceivable disadvantage. Right off the bat they only have like half the active members of the other groups, no one there is good at pvp, and most of those guys don’t really grind and play that much. They keep dying, Phil starts to make some progress and admins spawn mobs all around him to prevent even that. They give up, and resort to killing each other.
And somehow, from rock bottom, from passing through all the stages of grief and landing on insanity, this small group goes from being but a speck in the progress bar percentages to fucking winning the whole thing.
Watching their madness turn into actual power is sooooo wonderful to watch. They stay fully crazy. But somehow, that works. Going absolutely feral, saying fuck the rules and do whatever, yell mumbled nonsense at your enemies, steal all their shit, that’s the winning play.
There is something so gratifying in watching them go from day one of not having a base, dying over and over again, to week 2 where they are kinda doing the damn thing. And still don’t have a real base and die over and over. I mean that’s literally Jaiden’s main strategy.
And then Baghera with the fucking chainsaw. And Cellbit leaning into his character’s preestablished bloodlust thingy, and everyone collectively building off of each other’s energy.
And something about watching my favorite blorbos lose their goddamn minds for 5 hours every day. I loved every second of it. And it wouldn’t be able to be much longer, Slimecicle for one was absolutely exhausted, that guy doesn’t stream for more than a few hours and now he was grinding for 5 a day. Only adds to the chaos.
But the pace, it being every day and yet a scramble because of the time limit of play time.
The stakes of the eggs lives potentially being on the line
The complete foreign nature of an entirely new island?? With a new scary npc??? Unprecedented.
I absolutely love this arc.
It’s been a while and I still think about it.
I’m mostly making this post because we’ll mainly it’s 2am and that’s the sort of thing you do at 2am but also because I remember like during and right after the prison event people saying that was their favorite qsmp arc
And like good for you bestie but I do not get it
My heart belongs to purgatory
And I want to submit “ok but do you remember-“ to the council because it was fucking perfect.
And omg the fucking bolas shrine and Baghera and cellbit cameo in purgatory 2 like, ah my heart.
Bolas forever o7

Day 15 of Milgramtober: Amane/Skeleton
(CWs for child abuse, death imagery, minor flashing images)
Song by The End of the Asterisk by Los Campesinos!: The End Of The Asterisk (Remastered)  
This video has captions! I'm not sure if I aligned them correctly so if you see any issues please do inform me!
Technically there's no skeletons here but there is a egregious amount of coffins so I think it counts.
I like rambling about art process so that's going under the cut:
I'm trying to exorcise the ghost that is "Amane Momose could be dead" from my mind so I can stop thinking about how close my blorbo was to dying so boom- whole animatic about her dying and being dead.
A lot of this was really fun, as you might notice I have a lot of fun framing things so very much an enjoyable experience.
Fun fact: The flowers weren't supposed to be symbolic of anything, they were just generic flowers, and then 1moremilgram-enjoyer made this really good Kotoko post and it in there's flower symbolism breakdown and my brain kind of short-circuited and now they mean things! Flowers are white lilies and baby's breath respectively but I'm not good at drawing plants so it probably looks a bit off.
I feel like the standard of quality for animatics rose gradually over the years and I'm not sure how to feel about that. Does not help my anxiety but ah well I did this in 3 days give me a break.
In the middle of doing this at like...2am there was a sudden quick brownout, which happens a lot where I live but I did not save so I panicked. Luckily opentoonz has autosave and I didn't lose too much but that was still terrifying.
I think Amane Momose "exists" in the times she was most in pain and that makes me want to explode btw.

i saw that you animate using krita? i use krita too but im not really familiar with how to. animate. at all. i was just wondering how you do it (like basic steps or smth!!) you dont have to reply to this ask at all if its annoying tho!!
hoho yes ifc i love talking about myself and the things i do hehehe★★★
still i dont guarantee any type of quality bc 1. Im bad at explaining things in general 2. im no english grammar expert haha 3. tbh the only parts of krita i understand are the basic animations, i dont even know how to configure the cube haha and 4. it's 1AM, it's the second time i write all of this bc i did ctrl+z in accident and 90% of the mf post dissapeared and im goddam furious hahahaha.
now, with no more further ado, lets begin with my class!
First of all, i recommend you to save your workspace and put the Animation one that come by default, right here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Looks a little messy, right? Worry not! Just configure everything in the Dockers until you're satisfied: (yes i dont have windows activated, fightme microsoft)
Tumblr media
Now, i always use the default Animation Template (Animation-Japanese-En), but they usually come with lots of layers/groups that we don't really need, so i always delete them until the Layout Paper is the only group. Then i create a group for the Characters and another layer for the backgrounds (we'll get there later!)
Tumblr media
And before actually getting in the timeline and shi, letme explain two points, they're important i swear!
Onion Skins menu: (at the right bottom of the screen)
Tumblr media
Here you can configure all that has to do with seeing the past/next frame in the timeline for when you're drawing. The bars show how many past/future frames you want to see and their opacity, you can also change their colors. Once you're done with the config, you can just close it, to open it again just use the weird striped drop shaped button or choose it from the Dockers.
And the Animation Settings menu: at the right of the Onion Skins button.
Tumblr media
Here you can see the starting frame from your project and the last one, but we're focusing in the Frame Rate. It comes with 24 FPS by default, but for simple animatics like mines 8 FPS are more than enough.
Now, going with the actual animation things.
To start drawing you don't actually need to make a first frame, but i think is more practical make that type of start an habit to yk, dodge bad moments haha
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This move also works for imported images, since they come as layers and we need to make them actual frames by creating another frame at their right.
Talking about imported images, all my backgrounds are done in Sai2 since i feel more comfortable drawing there haha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When we import more than one image, they become separated layers, and to combine them all in one we must make them frames and move all to one timeline (?)
Tumblr media
+ if you dont pin the layer in the timeline they dissapear from it, but you can just select it again from the layer menu and they will appear again (you gotta pin it so they dont go).
Tumblr media
now some personal preferences,,, i don't actually organize my timeline in any specific way, the only thing i want is having all the important layers at the display, so i re-use layers for different things (like the arashi/izumi layer is also used for tsukasa's hair that i forgot to draw in the first scene haha)
Still, to simplify and organize things a little more you can always color the timeline as you want, selecting a single frame or many as you want!
Tumblr media
My last tip is that Copy a Keyframe is nOT the same as Clone one. Copy will make them a complete separate frame, while Cloning one will make them into another frame, but whatever you do will affect the original frame. I learned that by force :)
That's all i honestly know about animating in Krita, in terms of theory i have no idea what im doing 120% of the time, so forgive me if its messy or hard to understand hahaha.
That's all! 2AM! It only took me one hour to re-write all of that letsgoo
Seeya★★
With love, Rui, almost having a breakdown for pressing ctrl z ★★★★

i think part of what draws me to the dsmp so much is the like .. semi official character designs
like i got into it because of fanart and fan animations, and ive always found it so interesting how we have like baseline designs and traits about these characters and then fanartists just go wild coming up with their own interpretations
and i love how after big story events or details drop, you see their designs evolve to reflect them. or even in big content droughts people come up with headcanons or add details that get picked up and popularized completely independent
i rarely made any fanart before i got into dsmp because i dont personally like translating a very solid/set design into my style, but i got so into making dsmp fanart because theres so much room for experimentaion and drawing what you want and i think thats always gonna be one of my favorite parts of being in this community

hi hello someone whos just watched ur the plagues animatic like 5 times in a row here. first off, holy fucking shit i am entranced. second, oh my fucking god tommy looks so much like wilbur (in a good way) is that deliberate? like. the parallels, the battle hes fighting, the people and the place hes fighting for hes stepped into wilburs shoes whether he likes it or not and by god does he fill that role, hes in a coat thats too big for him but hes still wearing it and doing what he has to. idk maybe its bc im a film major maybe its bc its 2am and my brain is going haywire but still. also as a technoblade apologist thank u for making me remember that doomsday was a brutal as it was. like yeah ive never thought it was 'good' or 'right' (huge advocate for morally grey chartacters yes gimmie) but i think i and others tend to forget that it was literal hell, esp for the lmanburgians. it was dark it was grisly and yes what it achieved may have needed to happen but nothing about it was good. i forget that too often and you have made me remember and you have done it in such a beautiful, poignant way. thank u for that and thank u for the animatic i am obsessed and want to get so deep into it bc yes <3
Oh yeah!! Tommy and Wilbur looking similar was very intentional :D I was also originally gonna give him the beanie but decided against it. The coat is too big for him but he wears it. he’s a boy looking for someone to follow and well, who better than your brother. Or whatever rose tinted memory you have of him
And YES TY I love c!techno man’s is great and full of flair, but doomsday was, tho aesthetically incredible, a brutal affair. No matter how you slice it, tho whichever party felt justified, it’s still a very violent act dgdjdh and a lot of people apologize doomsday but it’s literally in the name, it was not meant to be a good thing. Unrighteous or righteous intention regardless, its results caused more carnage than catharsis

Hi love bug! Thank you so much in advance. Seeing your stuff in my ask box always makes me super happy.
So, I’m Elsie, she/her/hers, and bi (but I lean heavily towards men rn). I’m a Virgo sun, Scorpio rising and Aquarius moon. I’m also an introvert, but I love being around other people! I just get,,,,, tired easily.
I’m East Asian + Southeast Asian (Chinese and Vietnamese). I’m barely 5’0 tall! Long, black hair that reached my upper thighs and dark brown eyes that you can’t even see the pupil lmfao. I always have painted nails, usually red. I’m pretty athletic and I also like to think I have nice thighs—most of my workouts include building up my legs lol. I wear big gold hoop earrings. I also wear round Harry Potter glasses. My body isn’t very curvy, in fact I’m pretty flat but I am COVERED in stretch marks. I also have acne flare ups from time to time but it’s usually nothing noticeable anymore.
I’d like to think I’m a pretty chill person, likes to go with the flow and stuff like that. My friends say I’m often their therapist or their mom, which is kinda funny because that’s what I’m in uni for, to be a therapist. I’m a pretty determined and motivated person? I like to push myself pretty hard ngl but I also like to just hang out and take it slow. I also like to do stupid things like exploring abandoned buildings at 2am. I’m also big into intersectional feminism. I’ve also been told I’m really approachable and friendly, but bro I am so shy and quiet in public unless I get to know you.
I can get pretty stubborn tbh, it depends once again on what the topic is but once I’ve set my mind to it, that’s how it’s going to be. I also have low self esteem and my depression sometimes makes it hard for me to even get out of bed at times. I usually don’t know when to stop giving myself to other people, which means I get pretty exhausted and fast. I’m also prone to overthinking which stresses me out. And when I’m stressed, I can honestly get a little bitey.
I apologize to inanimate objects if I’ve bumped into them, and I also have a tendency to talk to myself? I also am a witch! I’m currently elbows deep in some deity work and ngl my energy is all over the place. I also have a weird habit of waving to security cameras I see in public because I like to think the people watching those cameras get a kick out of it lol.
I really like coffee, tea, singing with my ukulele, playing piano, drawing and art in general. I haven’t been able to draw as much as I’d like recently but I do have some animatics in my head. I also really like Victoria’s Secret perfumes, specifically strawberry pound cake—it’s what I always smell like lol. Crystals are super fun imo. I live next to a huge lake and it’s honestly one of my favorite places to be. Ocean animals are my favorite! I also really like car rides with like, one other person and just exploring the world and talking. The music I listen to is a lot of classic rap, lofi-hip hop, modern rap, some pop artists and Ella Fitzgerald, Gloria Gaynor, HaroinFather, KYLE, and ofc Hollywood Undead.
I cannot stand centipedes those things horrify me. I also don’t like rude people, bigots, people who purposely start drama or hypocrites. People who put other people down aren’t cool either. I don’t really like parties or being around lots of people, they make me anxious and kinda suffocated. People who try to force me to do stuff aren’t cool in my books either. I also think red meat is kinda gross, but that’s just because it makes me exhausted.
Eeeee I am so sorry if this is too much, but thank you so much in advance. Nothing but love to you, and all your future writing and everything you’ve done so far. 💕
Heyy! I almost hit the roof when your follow came in 😅.
So I told myself that Brian and Hoody are disqualified because of obvious bias, but, damn you make it hard!
So, Brian aside, I match you with...
The Puppeteer/Jonathan Blake
Tumblr media
I know, I know, odd choice right?
But you came under his attention, and just when he thought you were getting ready to bend to his will, you'd rally. He found it... Refreshing that you keep fighting, no matter how low you feel.
Of course, he had to be persistent in gaining your trust. You weren't falling for his smooth talking ways. He tried not to use any information gained from his psychic gifts... but if they helped him know something you've really been wanting or something that's bothering him, that's a different story. It took him years to gain your trust and that was only after he slipped and let some of his old self, from before he became The Puppeteer, out. You seemed to prefer that side of him, so he revealed it more frequently.
Jonathan is an introvert too, and like you, being around other people can tire him out. He prefers nights in or long car rides with you with some good but soft music playing.
Jonathan finds it ironic that you want to be a therapist while his main method of feeding is by intensifying depression symptoms. In ways, you've softened him. He'll spare those who seem to have the drive to live. But he views it as a friendly competition of sorts. Like a married couple of lawyers, but one works for the prosecution and the other works for the defense. How many souls can you save verses how many he can take?
Jonathan will listen to every crystal fact you have, and want to know more about your witchiness. He's like a sponge. Throw information at him and he's soaking it up.
Let's gloss over the fact that he can control golden threads from his fingers. I'm sure it'll come up in #just chatting.
Jonathan is a caffeine addict, that and cigarettes are what fueled him when he first went to college. He loves drawing with you over a hot cup of coffee.
Eat what you want, Jonathan doesn't really care. He might take a bite of something every now and then, but he doesn't really need it. This makes it so he finds your scent... Intoxicating.

There's some stuff that has been going around in my head regarding Luckuboy!AU, so I'll just dump everything here and see how you might adapt/change/evolve some of these ideas, or don't use any of them since that's perfectly valid too and it's your au, not mine :3 anyways, this is a long idea that can be divided, so I'll do just that and make a paragraph for each sub-idea.
1) Ben's daily schedule: Ben most likely has a morning schedule in the coffee shop, and as such he would get to work early, now idk how they work, but I imagine Ben's day to day life would go something like this: Ben's alarm goes off at 7:00, he wakes up and leaves bed at 7:15, breakfast and shower before arriving at work at 8:00 (do shops open at 8:00? 8:30? idk :V), keep working until 16:00 with lunchtime tucked in the middle, hang out with friends/relax/naps until 20:00, start his own vigilante work until 2:00, where he goes to sleep and repeats. If his patrol is slow then he would go home earlier to sleep more, if it's hectic and he doesn't get enough sleep, then the afternoon/evening would be used in powernaps.
2) Ben the info brooker, I imagine that Ben would eventually get to know a lot, and I mean A LOT, of information about everyone and everything important that's going on in Undertown (which, considering the situation of Earth and the Plumbers, is probably the only alien world center, would be everything), and when he hears of someone having some kind of trouble, he gives them a nudge in a certain direction for them. Eventually word gets out that there's a new information brooker in town that has scarily accurate info, he works at a coffee shop and you better give him a big tip if you don't want some of your info to get out fast (how real this info is nobody knows, and since Ben hasn't heard of it he can't correct them)
2.5) One day Argit appears and asks for a coffee under a different name, when it's ready Ben calls for him (he used a fake name) and writes with an alcohol marker on the cup "Argit", scaring the hell out of him. "How did you know?" "I'd be shitty at what I do if I couldn't recognize you *wink*", then he tells him that as long as they do nothing dangerous near him he won't tattle him and Kevin to the Plumbers, or worse, Gwen. "Don't you dare" says Argit aghast, "Try me bitch" answers Ben grinning, almost double daring him into doing something dangerous only so he can call his cousin and set up a date
3) The coffee made in the shop is delicious, caters to every species needs, alergies, likes and dislikes, and everyone agrees that the place is the best of the best in the whole world for these reasons and more; thus the shop has been a tentative neutral zone for years, however the lack of "people" (idk what word to use that captures everyone, human or alien) that knows how to fight there has severly dampened the opportunity of it becoming one. Cue Ben beggining to work there, in the beggining it's nothing special, he's just a human who makes good coffee and is surprisingly charming, come a few weeks and months and everyone starts noticing how he's the infamous information brooker that has been the talk of Undertown, thus gathering a bit more attention. Eventually someone (Plumber, civilian, villain, whatever you choose) is more rude to him than needed and tries to get some info from him, even if it's by force... Ben decks him, like, he kicks their ass, defenestrates them, break a chair on them and hands them unconcious to the closest Plumber, bleeding and all while still being intact himself. Everyone glares in awe at the show of badassery and oficially the coffee shop becomes the new true neutral zone, where everyone can get coffee, exchange information and form unlikely friendships. Whenever someone tries to mess with the shop, if Ben isn't present, is busy or it's too much for him, everyone else, Plumber, villain and civilian joins him in defending the shop and getting rid of the nuisancess that mess with the shop.
4) With all the info that Ben gets both as a barista and as a vigilante, one would think that he would give everything out as long as you paid the prize, but surprisingly he has a strong code that he never breaks. If he EVER learns that a piece of information he has with himself is considered confidential, then he'll never speak about it with anyone, no matter how much they offer to pay him. He can't answer for the ones who talks about this info in the shop without saying in any moment that the info is supposed to be confidential, he can't read minds, but everyone catches on fast on this, and some say the keyword when talking in the coffee shop. However many still forget about it once in a while, since the calm atmosphere of the shop is too powerful and slip up often happen. Still Ben can't be blamed, how is he supposed to know if some piece of info is confidential if no one ever says it is? Again, he's not a mindreader nor a telepath.
5) Any info on his vigilante persona he never gives out, however it's not because of not wanting to give out any of that info, but rather because another part of his code is "If I haven't heard people talk about something, then I don't know information about it. All my info is second hand, so unless someone else already knows about it, I won't know about it". That can come in very handy considering the surprisingly little info there is about his vigilante persona out there, despite how famous he kinda is. This more often than not drives Jimmy mad.
Love brainstorms, hate the alien.
1) Most cafes open at 7am from my knowledge, 9am if you're in a sleepy town, so it'd be more like a 6am wake up, optional breakfast- (who eats breakfast these days?), straight to the cafe around 7ish to help with cleaning and setting up for the day.
This cafe is more of a 24/7 place. With 24/7 breakfast! (don't you hate it when places stop doing breakfast at a certain hour?)
Apart from that love what ya got there.
As for the vigilante side, he starts whenever is easiest, it's all dependent if things are hectic or not. Sun goes down roughly 7PM (pretty late I know, but where I live (during summer at least), sun won't go down til 9PM). Sometimes he finishes at 2AM, sometimes a few minutes before work (Incoming animatic!)
2) Love everything about that too! I'd like to think Ben has no idea about it at first, he just notices some days the tip jar is fuller than others. He chocks it up to his charming personality. But eventually he catches on.
Another thing to add, at some point if people wanted to get info from Ben they'd order a "whipped caramel latte with icing sugar, honey, and salt" (gross) Ben has no idea of this, but the weird amount of customers ordering that and asking for intel, kinda makes him think about it.
2.5) This!! good shit right here! Except, you can't call a customer a bitch, trust me... Karen's and Kevin's exist in all shapes, sizes and forms. So Ben uses the kill them with kindness, customer service attitude.
Additionally, sometimes Kevin, although rarely, comes by, hovers around the counter. He'll order a coffee and glare at Ben until, he gets his attention.
"You staring at me for a reason?"
"I need to know about Gwen 10."
Of course, at this Ben would grin devilishly and respond with, "Oh, you wanna take her on date? She loves sappy romance movies, she's also a nerd, so get her a math book instead of flowers."
That always shuts Kevin up, makes him leave most occasions.
3) Everything about this is just!!! Love it. Wouldn't change a thing.
4) Yes yes!!Sometimes, a customer will demand classified info (those that aren't initiated to how the cafe works). When Ben refuses to squawk this can lead to some shouting from a customer sometimes, which leads to a coworker, or a regular shoeing the nasty customer away. Ben can hold his own against most people, as a human, but sometimes they're just a little too big or a little too tough to be able to defend himself against.
5) I like that a lot too.
I also like to think that sometimes, if Ben wants to mess with someone, especially Jimmy. He'll slip a piece of information out that no one else knows.
"I heard from a plumber, that the vigilante guy likes smoothies- specifically [insert favourite smoothie flavour of the week]"
Cue Jimmy buying several of that smoothie to try and lure Luckyboy (still haven't thought of a namee!!!) out. It works, and Ben gets free smoothies almost every week.
This could backfire immensely though.
Woo, sorry about the delay there, been working a few shifts. Work is kicking my ass as usual...

FUNSON!AU
I’ve had this idea like months ago, even before the election (and the last part during the election, so HAHAH HOW DID THAT TURN OUT HOO BOY) so like idk how to end it and don’t feel like writing it anymore. SO IM GONNA DROP ALL THE NOTES I WROTE IN THE PAST HERE! 
feel free to write it, but plz tag me (a must! i want to reaaad!) and I’d appreciete it if you credit the idea ;w;
FUNDY AU WHERE WILBUR TAKES CARE OF FUNDY EVER SINCE FUNDY WAS A CHILD. FUNDY ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY WITH HIS DAD, BUT DAD NEVER HAD TIME TO PLAY WITH GIS SON 
Always busy with planning this, writing that, meeting them and Fundy was lonely. Wilbur actually spent years planning revolution as soon as they moved to the Dream Kingdom, so Fundy grew up to the ideas of that, listening to dad behind the heavy wooden door, crying quietly clutching at his fox plushie. 
 As he reached his 19th birthday came, he joined the revolution. Fighting along his father, spending more time with him than he had in years. And after the victory they spent even more time together. And as annoyed as Fundy was that Wilbur only now acted like he had a son, babying Fundy and not letting him do stuff, he had a father finally.
 But then soon later he throws himself into an election for L'manburg and he hardly sees him again and thinks to himself "Some things never change", but then looks outside his room in one of L'manburgs towers and stares at the setting sun and remembers a quote he once heard his father say to someone in his office. "if you want the change, make it happen" or something like that. 
 The next day he joins swag2020. Soon later he makes his own party of him and Nihachu, refusing to join his father once again, seeing how he's slowly turning into a tyrant, who'd do anything to get the seat, be elected. Why wouldn't He abandon L'manburg for the seat, if he has neglected his son for his goals already? 
Wilbur is in the docks and take the fundy from Salmon's hands and holds the baby fox close. He watched the mermaid swim away not looking twice and dive only seeing one last sparkle of her scales on the sun, one last splash of her golden brown coloured tail and she's gone he takes the child and treats it to his best abilities, but once he has reached the age of 5, he went back to planning and working and everything for the best for his son.
 He works his ass off every day, works does his best s overjoyed with every opportunity to meet his son and once they win the revolution. He creates a safe world for his son who proved himself during the revolution despite not needing to prove himself Wilbur stops seeing Salmon's hair in Fundy's fur after that. He stops seeing her smile in his grin and the mischief in his eyes. He sees Fundy for the first time in forever and hopes to establish a happy family with Niki and Fundy but peace cannot last long and he goes back to making sure his son will be safe, along with his new chosen family found family 
So imagine both the pride and surprise and dissapointment when his son decided to compete against him.
   The day of election, Wilbur sits nervously, his leg bouncing, waiting. The results are going to be out today. He was confident he'd win, but he knew something the others didn't...Swag and schlatt team. They should win, however... He just had a bad feeling. Niki told him she had a bad dream about today and it just keeps ringing silently, yet irritatingly in the back of his head.
 Preparing his sheets, going through the pages, while trying not to look at the results just yet, he caught a glimpse at coconut2020 votes. And despite himself he smiled His son tried at least, but the false votes? Man, he didn't expect that from his son... But hey coconut2020 got so many votes anyways! 
Truly like father like son, in no time will Fundy follow his steps and become a great politician perhaps...? Anyways, it's time to go on stage. From what he's seen Tommy and Tubbo were listening to the disks, just vibin' heh... He decided to let boys be boys for at least one more moment and just went forward alone. They'll meet there.
Now that i edit and copy and paste my notes I can see THE PART WHERE I CUT OFF DID NOT
IT DID NOT AGE WELL.
Here is where my notes cut off those months ago, but ideas do not stop you know. 
So like, remember when Wilbur looked at his son tearing down the walls? When he heard his son deny any relation to him? 
What if Fundy at first was bitter and a little happy to be out of his father’s control? What if he thought it to be a change for better rather than worse? What if he decided to be a spy only once he realised HOW BAD Schlatt is? Because while Wilbur neglected, Schlatt straight up abused. 
I DON’T KNOW, GUYS, I’M JUST... BRAINROT ALL THE TIME I WOKE UP AT 2AM TODAY BECAUSE I HAD AN ANIMATIC IDEA THAT I FORGOT TO WRITE DOWN ANYWAYS.

Quick question. How long does it take for you guys to write, storyboard, record, animate, and edit a single episode (or segment)?
It takes about 10 months from start to finish to produce an 11 minute cartoon (actually ours are 10:30). What people usually don’t understand is that we’re working on around 25 episodes at any given time, all at different stages of production.
This week, we just finished writing the last two episodes of season 2. We have 4 storyboard teams which means we always have 4 episodes simultaneously being boarded. We have two directors and they each have 3-4 episodes in the animatic stages that we oversee. The design and color teams usually are dealing with another different 2-3 episodes at any given time. The storyboard revisionists clean-up a revise a new storyboard every week. Then there’s post-production which means Shane and I are giving sound/music/editing/retake notes on another 4-6 episodes. 
At times (like right now for us) TV production carries on at a completely insane pace. You have too much to do and too little resources. I find myself fantasizing about time off. It’s stressful! For instance, I’ve been up since 2am this morning! I’ve just got too much on my mind and am dealing with a lot of work/stress/frustration right now. But that’s the price of it all! If it was easy, anyone would do it! Life ain’t fair and if you wanna do something special, it’s gonna take a lot of fuckin work!
Whenever I can’t sleep, I don’t fight it. So I got up around 4am and started writing. Often times I wake up with ideas because I think our brains keep working on problems even when we’re asleep. I made notes about a conversation I want to have with a crew member (we’re a team of about 45 people!), I wrote out a proposal for a new BCG mobile game I’d like to make based on a hilarious episode that was pitched yesterday, I reached out to a blog I really like in hopes of getting them to interview me about BCG, and I also wrote to Bob Iger and asked him if he wants to go bowling.
With any challenges in life and art, we all only have two choices: quit or find a way to make it work. Sometimes it’s worth quitting, but usually it’s more satisfying and rewarding to find a way to make it work. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m throwing my all into BCG in order to never have any regrets! I want (and I want the crew) to always be able to look back at the work we’re doing now and be proud of it. I don’t take this opportunity lightly, nor do I take our audience of millions lightly! I’m just IN IT right now and I know that one day I won’t be. One day, far in the future, the show will end in some way or another (as is the fate of all series!) and I know that I’ll look back and miss the craziness. 
As Floyd Norman once told me: “Embrace the chaos!” I urge all artists to do the same! (I also urge you to telepathically send me your youthful energy!!)

Here I am, at 2am wheezing about critical role as I finish the last panel of this damn animatic. But I think I’m going to wait to post it until tomrrow so I can make sure I didn’t miss anything obvious/maybe add some gray tones.

Ok so I know the non-binary replacement for Mr/Mrs/Ms is Mx and the replacement for king/queen is royalty, but consider:
Our Lord And Savior

I just remembered the song “You who I called brother” from The prince of Egypt and all I can think about is an animatic with Foolish and Dream

Daily Doodle 241/365 - August 29, 2017
A day full of passion, determination and need to please!
At least that’s what both Pixie and my animation team have in common, that’s a lot of gifts..
Today I woke up late again, but some minutes earlier than yesterday, so that’s.. good.. still bad though, I miss 2 to 3 hours of my morning sleeping, I’m fine with waking up at 8, ack!
I made myself some lunch since it was so late and then just got on my PC to sketch out a silly idea someone suggested to me yesterday regarding commissions. I did so until it was 2pm. I had set up an alarm for that time since I had an university meeting at 3pm
I got ready real quick and left to the meeting. There I got reminded of the heavy traffic but ever since I graduated, it’s gotten a lot worse.. I still blame the fact that they closed a lot of schools in the island, but I eventually made it to the university
Once there, I happily greeted my team once again which I hadn’t seen since May, they were very happy to see me again. They asked how I’ve been and all that stuff
We later started the main meeting and discussed the project we had put on hold, at least I think it was on hold, but either way, it makes me happy to know it’s still there and we will finish it. I know it’ll be awesome. We also welcomed some new members, one of them includes this guy that did an animatic some months ago that completely blew my mind. The class required a one minute animatic from what I remember and he did a 20+ minute one, WOW!! It looked really well done as well and I’m super excited to see how he can help us with this project
After the meeting we did a celebratory clap to announce that we were back in action and I should start working on my parts soon this upcoming month
There was a second meeting one of my friends did which involved him showing an animatic he was working on and needed animators and even if I don’t think I’ll be able to animate, I still will help him. So I will break a personal record again and work on 3 animated projects in one month, beating my previous record of 2 excluding the weekly animation challenge from last year
I also taught one of my teammates a filter effect in Photoshop/Clipstudio which makes screenshot-like art look like real screenshots and he was extremely happy about it! I love to help!!
After this was all done, I said my goodbyes and left to Pixie’s place where we planned on having a little date now that I was down in the city. There was a lot of traffic in the city at the time so I didn’t let Pixie borrow my car to practice since I want him to learn a bit more before getting into more stressful situations
We headed out to Walmart to search for a calculator Pixie needed but didn’t find. He did however try to buy me a TON of snacks. Which we just got some mini-donuts outside of the place
We later headed to a Kmart to try and find a calculator but they were out of Pixie’s price range so he postponed it for another time. Pixie succeeded in convincing me to let him buy me some trail mix bars I’ve been drooling for awhile now, so he got me there! I don’t want him spending a fortune on me, but it makes him happy!
After this we headed to the usual Fuddruckers and got our stuff. Finally confirmed somewhat that they DO accept Android Pay so we can rest assured for next time, I just wish they were more educated on that but almost nobody uses those modern services here.. Oh well
I sat down and Pixie headed to the claw machines. He later surprised me with this cute blue plushie which he promised himself he would try to get in one try for me and he managed to do it! So I now have another plushie to add to my collection of plushies Pixie has gotten me.. he’s actually getting luckier with these claw machines
We ate and talked. Pixie now knows that my parents know we’re in a relationship and they’re fine with it, other than that we got stuffed while eating and we didn’t even have our milkshake yet.. so I overstuffed myself and regretted it when I got home
Either way, today was a whole lot of determination going around.. to finish animation projects.. to buy me things.. to finish all of the food..
Also, I got home late after mom asking me not to arrive late.. oh dang
And I started the doodle 2 hours ago but got heavily distracted, now it’s 2am.. hey, at least it’s not 3am!! HAHA!! I’m gonna bed

Rival matchup time:
"So, I’m Elsie, she/her/hers, and bi (but I lean heavily towards men rn). I’m a Virgo sun, Scorpio rising and Aquarius moon. I’m also an introvert, but I love being around other people! I just get,,,,, tired easily.
I’m East Asian + Southeast Asian (Chinese and Vietnamese). I’m barely 5’0 tall! Long, black hair that reached my upper thighs and dark brown eyes that you can’t even see the pupil lmfao. I always have painted nails, usually red. I’m pretty athletic and I also like to think I have nice thighs—most of my workouts include building up my legs lol. I wear big gold hoop earrings. I also wear round Harry Potter glasses. My body isn’t very curvy, in fact I’m pretty flat but I am COVERED in stretch marks. I also have acne flare ups from time to time but it’s usually nothing noticeable anymore.
I’d like to think I’m a pretty chill person, likes to go with the flow and stuff like that. My friends say I’m often their therapist or their mom, which is kinda funny because that’s what I’m in uni for, to be a therapist. I’m a pretty determined and motivated person? I like to push myself pretty hard ngl but I also like to just hang out and take it slow. I also like to do stupid things like exploring abandoned buildings at 2am. I’m also big into intersectional feminism. I’ve also been told I’m really approachable and friendly, but bro I am so shy and quiet in public unless I get to know you.
I can get pretty stubborn tbh, it depends once again on what the topic is but once I’ve set my mind to it, that’s how it’s going to be. I also have low self esteem and my depression sometimes makes it hard for me to even get out of bed at times. I usually don’t know when to stop giving myself to other people, which means I get pretty exhausted and fast. I’m also prone to overthinking which stresses me out. And when I’m stressed, I can honestly get a little bitey.
I apologize to inanimate objects if I’ve bumped into them, and I also have a tendency to talk to myself? I also am a witch! I’m currently elbows deep in some deity work and ngl my energy is all over the place. I also have a weird habit of waving to security cameras I see in public because I like to think the people watching those cameras get a kick out of it lol.
I really like coffee, tea, singing with my ukulele, playing piano, drawing and art in general. I haven’t been able to draw as much as I’d like recently but I do have some animatics in my head. I also really like Victoria’s Secret perfumes, specifically strawberry pound cake—it’s what I always smell like lol. Crystals are super fun imo. I live next to a huge lake and it’s honestly one of my favorite places to be. Ocean animals are my favorite! I also really like car rides with like, one other person and just exploring the world and talking. The music I listen to is a lot of classic rap, lofi-hip hop, modern rap, some pop artists and Ella Fitzgerald, Gloria Gaynor, HaroinFather, KYLE, and ofc Hollywood Undead.
I cannot stand centipedes those things horrify me. I also don’t like rude people, bigots, people who purposely start drama or hypocrites. People who put other people down aren’t cool either. I don’t really like parties or being around lots of people, they make me anxious and kinda suffocated. People who try to force me to do stuff aren’t cool in my books either. I also think red meat is kinda gross, but that’s just because it makes me exhausted."
Your rival is:
ŇƗŇΔ ŦĦ€ ҜƗŁŁ€Ř
Tumblr media
So I've done a ton of reflecting and have finally arrived at this rivalry.
I feel like you would end up defending yourself after Nina attacks you while you're trying to talk some sense into her about her obsession with Jeff.
I mean, really. This girl carved herself up to look more like him.
She even uses a version of his catchphrase, ffs!
While its fun to write about, Nina's level of obsession with Jeff is pretty harmful to not only others, but herself.
So you try to do what you would do with any rational adult. You take her out to lunch and try to talk with her about it.
You take her to a local pizza buffet and the two of you talk over every kind of pizza toy could imagine.
It was all great... Right up until it wasn't anymore.
You'd overlooked a major flaw in your master plan. You treated Nina like a normal, rational, adult. Nina was none of the above.
Sure, she may be an adult physically.
But it's like her obsession had stunted her emotional growth.
So, naturally, Nina thinks you're trying to talk her into forgetting about Jeff so you could have him all to yourself 🙄
She grabs you by the back of the shirt and pulls you through the restaurant and out into the parking lot.
"Nina, are we really doing this?" you ask her. She sneers at you and lets go of your shirt with a shove.
"You thought I was that dumb, didn't you?" Nina began slowly pacing back and forth, within the confines of the lines of the parking space.
You'd seen a panther at the zoo pace like that at the front of his habitat. He walked back and forth in front of his home, but his eyes, fierce and cunning, stayed on the people gathered to look at him. He didn't look at them as if they were a threat. He looked at them like prospective meals. Dinner. Midnight snack. Breakfast. Supper. Dinner again. Nina looked at you like that now.
"You thought you could just take me out, tell me I'm crazy and obsessed with the love of my life, and what? That I'd just back off? Say, 'You're right, Elsie, what was I thinking?!' and we'd laugh and go to your house and watch chick flicks and laugh into the wee hours of the morning?"
Nina huffed and rolled her eyes, "Spare me, bitch." Nina started closing in, flicking her knife open. It had little charms hanging from it like a heart, a grumpy storm cloud, an excited yam, and a beaming milkshake cup. They were the cutest, most impractical thing you'd ever seen.
You weren't surprised when Nina rushed you and you stepped to the side at the last moment, catching the wrist of her knife hand in your hand and shoving the heel of you hand into the back of her hand painfully, forcing her to drop the knife.
It fell to the pavement with a clatter and you used your foot to kick it away from the two of you.
Nina looks shocked and sad as she watches it spin away from her, and then it disappeared under a parked car.
Enraged by the loss of her knife, Nina rushed you again and screams in your face.
She grabbed your arm tightly and watched as you looked at your arm where her hand gripped. Something about your expression made her let go. But...
"I won't let you have him" she snarled and she lunged again, this time knocking you off your feet. Nina rode your body to the ground, sitting on your chest and upper stomach to pin you.
"I don't want him, Nina" you spat at her, the first stirrings of anger coiling up inside of you, "What will make you see?"
"Leave us alone" she said and as she reached down and fisted a handful of your hair and used it to knock your head into the ground a couple of times, "Leave us alone so I can show my sweet prince how happy we could be."
"What do you mean 'we'?" you ask Nina, "the only reason Jeff knows you exist is because everyone started warning him about this crazy fan girl. If we're truthful, he's stated that you kind of scare him."
"You expect me to believe that he's afraid? Afraid of anything? Especially afraid of a girl much smaller than him who would give him anything he asked for. Anything.'
She punctuated that last word with another attempt to thump your skull into the ground, but you tightened your muscles and wouldn't allow the movement.
Nina let go to slap you and you threw your body upwards, throwing Nina off of you, and you sat up and crawled over to pin Nina down.
"Just give up," you hiss at her, "I don't want him, I swear it. But don't lie to yourself anymore. Jeff will never love you, not the way you want him to. He may fear you, Nina, but he'll never love you."
You watched as a myriad of emotions cross over her face. Rage. Uncertainty. Denial. Stubbornness. Pleading. Her face collapsed into despair, which slowly faded to reluctant acceptance.
You move back slightly to let Nina up, rubbing the back of your head where it was starting to ache. When she doesn't make any aggressive movements, you let her up completely, offering her a hand to help her to her feet.
"So... You're gonna be alright?"
Nina shrugged slightly, looking drained and disenchanted, her arms crossing under her breasts to hold her.
"I'm sorry it had to be like this, Nina.."
"Go."
"I understand you probably hate me right now. You're hurt, but maybe in time we could make a friends-"
"Get out of my sight. Now" Nina growled, "I'll hurt you the next time I see you. Now go."
You turn away from Nina and start walking away. You get at least 500 feet away from her and stop, looking at her over your shoulder.
She looked so small, now, uncertain, folded in on herself as she hugged herself tightly, staring at nothing in particular in the middle distance between us.
"Nina" you call, "It's fine to hate me right now. But when you're not so raw about it, maybe we could hang out. Watch chick flicks, do each others nails and eat ice cream?"
The corner of Nina's mouth pulled up in a wry smile, "I'll think about it when I don't want to kill you."
You smile, "It's a start. Take care of yourself, Nina.
Ahh I hope you like it! I really tried to branch out from typical answers, too. I like to think that a rivalry with you wouldn't be like a lasting thing. You'd just do what you could to a) get them to listen, and b) keep yourself as safe as possible, and set them straight with no hard feelings afterwards.
