wait you said you did an animatic on your main blog! is that for traffic series’s, is it posted here?
Oh right yes I was meaning to mention this here!! Thank you ahaha
Okay so YES! I did do an animatic, it’s for Empires SMP! No it’s not posted here yet because I am kind of unsure about what do with it… Let me explain.
Over the summer I had to do a big project for school, and it was entirely self-directed with no supervision. That meant it had to be about something I’m Really Passionate About to make sure that it would actually get done. So naturally I chose Empires! I got in touch with Pixlriffs and got his permission to use his audio for a school project (he said yes, thank you Pix <3) and then, audio in hand, went nuts and roughly storyboarded out 8min of an animatic in a single night.
When getting the project approved I told the professor, “hi I am going to do an 8 minute full colour animatic in two months while taking a full course load of classes” and he said
So the plan became to begrudgingly take a 2-3 minute excerpt of the audio and just do that for the class. And I did! And it slapped!! Full colour, rendered paintings you know and love from floweroflaurelin, except they’re moving a little bit. And Pixlriffs is there talking.
I figured at the time that once the semester was over I would paint the other 6 minutes of the animatic on my own time!! How hard could that be, right?? Except Things Kept Happening With School, and once it was over I was moving to a new place and getting sick and Tango’s desk mat took priority, and suddenly it’s over a month later with Do Those Other Six Minutes still on my to-do list.
The real kicker was that one of the Things That Happened With School resulted in me not getting feedback on the project—the teacher wasn’t able to really look at it. I got a grade, but a series of ridiculous circumstances meant that all that work was only briefly glanced at and a grade hastily entered, which was frustrating and resulted in me resenting the project a bit, since I worked hard on something I loved and it got no appreciation at all.
I’d love to share it with people who would appreciate it, which is to say, other fans!! But the thing is—as much as I want it to be Done the way I intended when I storyboarded it out initially, I won’t have the time to paint those six minutes any time soon: Huevember is in a couple weeks, and that’s a big commitment! But in my mind it’s not a complete project unless it’s a Complete Project. So I’ll put the question to you:
So yeah let me know! I’m still pretty busy but either way I want to revisit the animatic, either to paint more frames or to get it prepped for posting (something I’m not sure how to do yet).
(Also good news about Things Happening With School: I graduated yesterday!! Bachelors degree with honours, baby! Maybe now that school is behind me I can turn a new page where that project gets shared 😆)

Glamrock Bonnie turning out to be Blue in-verse is actually fucked up but not for the reasons you think
Glamrock Bonnie is no longer around the Pizzplex.
We all know that somehow, someway he got damaged corporate decided to replace him with Monty.
We also know that Bonnie’s Bowl was rethemed afterwords to the 50’s ice cream parlor/diner theme we know in Security Breach, a somewhat odd choice give the more futuristic feel the rest of the Pizzaplex has
Bonnie’s look was completely rehauled to fit this new theme as well.
Nothing has been kept from before he disappeared. Not a single piece merchandise. No magnets, no stuffies, no piñatas, nothing. Even the Puppet (who doesn’t even exist anymore) has a stuffy or two. The only images left of Bonnie is some purple, bowling dad knock off and faded cardboard cutouts from Foxy’s pirate adventure.
It’s only in the DLC when the Pizzaplex is falling apart that you can find any physically evidence of him ever even existing, and that’s it’s all surrounding his death.
His friends have nothing physical to remember him by, excluding (maybe) Monty’s glasses, and they can’t even visit Bonnie’s Bowl due to the all the radical changes.
It’s just sad.

Y’know, when Napoleon was bitching to the British government about them calling him “general” rather than “Emperor” when he was in captivity on St. Helena, which is totally a worthwhile argument to have and totally worth having a 5 year long temper tantrum over,
he should’ve just one day said “oh okay I’m not emperor of the French :) but I am Prince Consort of Parma.” ‘Cuz that would’ve been funny. Still get called “majesty” for a different reason.
It wouldn’t have worked.
But it would’ve been funny.
It would’ve made Napoleon the funniest man alive but no, he dropped the ball, this is why he’s problematic and we should boycott the movie
