my final BFA film, Corn Wizard, a midwestern-gothic horror fantasy about a crow, two girls, and a wizard.
it's unreal to see this thing finished after almost 2 years of work...what a way to end my college career, huh. thanks so much for supporting me this far, i hope you all enjoy it!
i'm baaaaaaaaack! happy new year :) idk when the next part will be yet but it won't be as long of a wait as this one was. i very much lost steam on this one alongside going thru a bunch of life stuff. i made this part because people got confused about why eddie was acting like he didnt think richie liked him. i made this part to remind people why he would act that way, not realizing that people were actually confused because the order of events was unclear. all this phone call stuff with beverly is a flashback, before richie even confessed to eddie. whoops. but yeah in retrospect, i kinda worry when the whole thing cuts together that this would be jarring in a tonal/pacing sort of way, but at least we got to see some of the other losers in some compacity, which i know people had been asking about. (plus my voice actors kicked ass, please check them out, especially Mike's actor, who streams on youtube and on twitch)
trigger warning at very bottom
as usual, i voiced richie/eddie/beverly/ben and did all the writing/drawing/editing/etc. if you message me to tell me that you hate a character's voice and that i should recast them as you, i will laugh at you
Trigger warnings - Internalized homophobia, homophobia, gay slur ("fairy"), character(s) have 1980's period typical poor understanding of sexuality and gender (not knowing there is more than simply "gay" or "straight" as well as implied not knowing there is more than the gender binary), misogyny, mocking of Valley Girl accent, song referencing the bombing of Hiroshima by the United States in WWII ("Enola Gay" was adopted by the queer community as an anthem and was chosen for the tone of the melody, but I want to acknowledge the lyrics are in fact about the bomber plane for which the song is named for), a pony pees a considerable amount, arachnophobia/tarantulas/spiders
The Lovers is a dark fantasy that follows Sara Lim Baylon and Sirena. Sara is the head chef, faced with pressure from her family to keep their restaurant afloat, while Sirena is a siren that happens to be the next dish Sara is supposed to prepare. However, complicated feelings grow between the two of them.
- Be warned, The Lovers is a dark animation and heavily features gore, body horror, mental distress, etc.
Currently, the animation is in its development phase and has a kickstarter! While it has reached the needed goal, you can currently still purchase tiers that offer limited edition merch!

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.”
“We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.”
“You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?

And interestingly enough, Joanca was voiced by Masako Katsuki, who would go on to voice another groundbreaking LGBTQ+ character nearly a decade later… Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune!
