Can’t risk it

The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.

[luckyferrero-deactivated2020081]

[fandomchick80]

Please give me some inspiration oh great duck of creativity

Me, seeing a "Which The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Character Are You" quiz: "Pff, I don't need that, I'm obviously Alice"

Also me, whenever I'm slightly inconvenienced: "Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.... Okay"

[afrogonthewall]

So, I have no idea when I actually made this, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the first (and last 😅) things I actually animated

The text says "Once upon a time there was a little frog". I think I originally planned to make this a whole story but gave up after realizing how many frames I'd actually have to draw for that

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

if you ever thought you were confused, imagine how I felt earlier when Grim confidently insisted I told him about a Skulduggery Pleasant character called "Mr Mctastybacon"

[afrogonthewall]

Stared at him for five minutes trying to figure out why he looks so weird then realized I forgot the bow tie

[afrogonthewall]

You're telling me I'm expected to see all these announcements within three days and not completely lose my mind about it???

[afrogonthewall]

You said you wanted the beard in the partition of Viggo, right?

Thanks. I saw that you're planning to reassemble Viggo. Here

have Ruffnut's hair. I'm sure it will look great on him

[afrogonthewall]

@the-daily-grimborn here's the pictures I promised you of Herbert on vacation

and here's how I imagine him moving around like this

(and a GIF version because I was in Flipaclip anyway so why not)

[the-daily-grimborn]

Wide Puti- Viggo, wide Viggo.

[afrogonthewall]

You fool! Your wide Viggo is no match for my unnecessarily tall Krogan

[the-daily-grimborn]

Your unnecessarily tall Krogan might be able to defeat my wide Viggo but is it able to defeat my weirdly flat Dagur?!

[afrogonthewall]

Fuck you sideways Johann!

[the-daily-grimborn]

With this treasure I summon upside down Stoick!

[afrogonthewall]

Circular Mildew, attack!

[the-daily-grimborn]

Thin Fishlegs!

Ignore Heather, she was just used for size comparisions.

[afrogonthewall]

Count your days, shredded Gothi is going to get you!

(also, in case anyone ready this and expected a buff old woman: I'm sorry, but sadly I do not have the artistic talent to make that a reality)

[the-daily-grimborn]

Wide Puti- Viggo, wide Viggo.

The background changed to black and white right when she says adore!!!

[depressedtoasterwhoshigh]

wait... what do you MEAN I actually exist as a physical being who can be perceived by others and NOT just someone whos spectating other peoples lives????? 😨😨😨

[the-daily-grimborn]

Why's the toaster philosophing? I just wanted toast...

[depressedtoasterwhoshigh]

Did you want some existential dread with that toast?

[the-daily-grimborn]

Actually just some butter but I guess existential dread's also fine

[afrogonthewall]

One of the funniest things in Stardew Valley is when you enter the house of a villager you're friends with but mostly meet around town so all the cut scenes just play at once

[the-daily-grimborn]

Remember that picture I sent you of Viggo pointing?

You should put him with the Mean Girls so they can judge us together

Took too many attempts.

[afrogonthewall]

that's exactly what I pictured, thank you
