I didn't expect either of my haunted doll comics to ever be liked so much, uuuhh anyway shoutout to everyone in the tags & replies who, like me, read books as children that gave them lifelong sentimental crybaby syndrome.

one thing i will also say about my horrible rapid onset orv obsession is that i want to distill the orv webtoon's art style and inject it directly into my hands

Man, I'd fuck the hell outta Yasu from Nana. I'd beat his cheeks in from the back with one leg up while gripping his bald ass head like a Spalding ™️ basketball.

I'm Done! I've wanted to try making an animatic for forever! It was just a matter of figuring out how to get music into csp and that turned out to be Easier Than I Thought. Was I planning on animating my beautiful girl Jan to carol of the bells as my first animatic? No. But it happened to be the holidays when i started this and i wanted to finish it while i had the motivation.

So we get this! Definitely a learning opportunity, and I think i got better as i went along? I certainly got faster at figuring out how to get mind images onto the canvas and i'm genuinely very happy with how quite a few of the shots came out!

(story under the cut)

Jan (phur in purple) is attending the annual Ice Dancing Festival in a small town by a lake as she tries to do every year. The day is lovely, phurs of all ages are skating on the frozen surface of the lake and gathering in anticipation of the later competitions. A growing glow is all the warning the phurs get before the lake is cracked open and a hydra-like elemental tears it's way from its seal beneath the lake. As the revelers scramble their way to shore across the shifting ice, Jan runs towards the hydra hoping to stop it before it makes it into town. As she throws her power at it, hoping to destroy it with sheer force, it only proves to make the situation worse and the onslaught of its many heads proves overwhelming. Thrown into the freezing lake and dazed, Jan is at first despairing over her inability to stop the hydra. She then takes a moment to realize she shouldn't try to destroy it so much as restrain and reseal it. She takes hold of the residual sealing magic of the lake and races to intercept the hydra before it can reach shore. With the full might of her magic bent towards pulling it towards the middle of the lake, the hydra proves easier to manage. It is still with no small effort that Jan is able to drag it under and reseal it under the ice, making it a problem for another day. Whether the festival will continue, or they'll call it off this year, remains to be seen.

This was mostly an excuse to animate the fight scene that plays in my head whenever this song comes on. It's more of a slice of life self-contained scene with no real effect on the overarching lore of the world. Jan is a long-time character of mine who acts as a sort of avatar of myself (she isn't a sona, more like a warlock/patron sort of vibe) and ends up living a very long time. This scene takes place on a day off earlier in her life when she's is still learning a lot of the lessons that shape her through the ages, this one being a simple: sometimes problems require a little more creative thinking and a little less brute force to solve.

Part 2 is up!

The Perfect Host

once again begging hoping praying for zom 100 to blow up and get a bigger fandom this time because Akira is the protagonist ever. You guys could break him down to a single personality trait and misinterpret his character in so many ways the possibilities are endless.

you want a pathetic sad poor little meow meow? he can be that!

You want the plucky shounen protag whos uplifting the whole cast and changing the narrative singlehandedly? he's that too!

you want a dumb himbo with not a thought behind the eyes? boy do you got it!

You want a sorta nerdy socially awkward loser? Akira Tendou babey!!!

You want an anticapitalist king who says eat the rich? well maybe not totally that one cuz of that one time but i mean the themes of the story are definitely there-

i need to buy aot's uprising arc volumes just so i can continually gawk and stare at historia's stellar character arcs cuz she's so MOTHER

nothing feels more Adult than sneaking out of ur house after u put ur puppy to bed just to go look at furniture stores 🤣

then again we also snuck out after her bedtime to see across the spiderverse which also feels like a very Not Adult thing to do so we're still keeping it fresh

anyways. code geass guys

Saw avatar 2 with a friend a week ago and mmmm spoiler ahead i guess but uhhhhh. Ignoring the major plot holes at the end of the movie lol how did they make exactly zero points towards like. Feeling of community, standing together for a common cause etc, and instead straight up made them into a neuclear family?? Granted i have not seen the first film since i was fuckin 10 or smthing so maybe i completely misremember the vibes n messages in that one, and i have also heard some shit abt the writer since i saw the 2nd apparently he is Not That Great lmao but still! How do u mess up that bad how do u not notice how off the vibes are when writing it.. what.. How did this make it in the final product

the two [in the wasteland] tracks seem pretty obviously tributes 2 morricone 2 me + jeneora rock is rlly just classic spaghetti western vibes which i think is cute! makes me happy 2 see the western part of space western comin through on the score n ive got a big soft spot fr morricone in particular ^_^ n lmk if there r other glaringly obvious ones i missed!

sometimes i think girls who wear a full face of makeup every day and get lip fillers and other surgeries n shit. just forgot what an actual woman looks like. actually post cancelled I think so much of the world has forgotten what an actual woman looks like. genuinely can't imagine waking up every day looking in the mirror and feeling like i have to paint my face to be presentable. fucking terrifying man.

if you look at what women are trending it's so weird how many of them look exactly the same. same hair style, same makeup style, same outfits. and it's not just celebrities, i sit in class and the girls are all carbon copies. even have the same style of taking notes. pretty much all appear to be thinking the same way, even. what the fuck. those 2010 cheesy illustrations of a bunch of identical looking blond Barbies were right maybe

Yeah, the jacket, the pack, the cane. Basically the only thing you can take in is your camera and your keys.

What about rescue meds, inhalers, water (in a cave that gets over 84 degrees sometimes). Why will my jacket brush up against things in ways my body wont already do. Where am I supposed to keep my payment and ID, bunny boy?? My fuckin bra? Or are those not allowed either
