Phoneme Chart by TheEndIsNearUs
This is a nice chart! Lipsync is one of my not-so-secret passions. I also hate front mouths. Theyâre harder to inbetween, I find, and theyâre not used nearly as frequently. Hereâs some ž mouths I made.
These are the basic shapes I was taught, and I use. Standard lipsync shapes;;Â
You have your closed mouth to open, to clenched teeth, to oohs, and your (often optional) F, L, and TH mouths.
Tips!
Your top teeth donât move; Â I mean, stylistically it happens sometimes (Gravity falls does it fairly well, as much as I haaaaate that), but your lipsync will prolly look better if they donât.
My clenched teeth (SH) mouth is always a bit wider than my biggest AH mouth. It adds variation and helps your shapes blend more nicely. Conversely, my biggest AH mouth is narrower than my SH mouth and my closed (M) mouth.
My L mouth is a tiny bit more closed than my biggest AH, and not as closed as my second biggest AH. It fits between them nicely so that if you have to go from an L to an AH mouth, like you would for the word âLikeâ or âLoveâ, it doesnât pop or look weird.
My R and oo mouths move forward on the face a bit, it adds dimension, and if you leave it all in the same place and have the mouth just shrink into a circle it miiiight look weird.
Aaaaand I think thatâs it?  Never go from a SH mouth to a TH mouth, itâll pop and look weirdâŚuhhh;  Also! Itâs alright to skip some shapes;; So below is a lipsync I made using the above shapes;
Itâs clear what theyâre saying, the mouth is moving nicely, but thereâs only one problem. Veeeery rarely do they give you enough time to use all the mouths you want to make it move nice. Voice actors talk fast to fit everything in and holycrap do we hate  love them for it.
So hereâs a fast one.
Those two gifs should start at the same time, and notice that the second one stops while the first one is still saying âdoingâ. I not only cut out the mouth between the biggest AH and the clenched teeth, but I combined the word âAre youâ into, like, 3 shapes. I also trimmed some inbetweens overall. The lipsync still reads, though! You can still tell what theyâre saying even without audio (which would help it a bit, haha~) Cutting out that stuff ended the lipsync a whole 14 frames sooner (more than half a second!). It doesnât sound like much, but with 24 frames per second and dialogue moving at the speed of light, you donât have time to dilly dally. This isnât a preschool show;; Aaaaaand I think thatâs it. Liiiipsyyyyyync~~~ Now to go back to actual work and stop talking about things most ppl donât care about;
I AM CRYING TEARS OF RELIEF BECAUSE I NEED THESE REFERENCES FOR MY SENIOR FILMâS DIALOGUE~
Reblogging this again because Iâve been using this reference for the last 2 months to help with my lip-synch in my film, and Iâve just tested one scene where I used the referenceâŚAnd my mouth-drawings have improved tenfold ever since.
To the OP who made this chartâŚI wish I could hug you right now because you helped make my film look much better. c8
This post makes its rounds every so often;; Iâm glad people are getting use out of me not wanting to do the actual work I had!
My Korean classmate, who is still learning English, lent her jogging pants to my male classmate. He wore it over his jeans. When she wanted the pants back during class, she yelled "TAKE OFF MY PANTS"
You canât tell me this is not Draco Malfoy
Theo Nott - Slytherin House, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry, 1991-1998
If you were actually immortal, you could get trapped under rubble and be stuck for potentially centuries.
That's pretty much what happened to that one character in Old Guard, but she was deep in the ocean.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because heâs honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people donât understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

On a different mental health note from my earlier post, I created some affirming lock screens if anyone would like to download and use them. Â In times like these, especially when our phones can be a source of negative news and distressing thoughts, I wanted to create some lockscreens/backgrounds that had affirming, validating words on them. Â These are all quotes from members of the DissociaDID system on YouTube (I believe just Nin and Jade). Â I felt it was only fitting, as their words helped me feel valid in my own struggles on my darkest days.
I hope these help people feel a little better, especially those of you who are struggling with mental health and trauma responses right now. Iâm sending my best wishes to all of you.
THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM
Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe, thanks in particular to Jules Verne.
He even wrote a sequel to Poeâs only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.
By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US) really *was* baffled by all of this.
Reblogging because I never saw that part before!
Chamomile - Hermione Granger/Theo Nott
for @theforgottenweasleyâ 385 words Rated T Chamomile - Meet-cute while waiting somewhere
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The queues at Gringottâs were never a short affair. Hermione actively avoided having to come in to the bank at all ever since theyâd come out with the cards attached to the accounts. Much like muggle debit cards, actually, but much larger because thatâs usually how things in the Wizarding World worked. But she could safely stow it in her bag or bewitch it to be smaller, so it was no matter.
But there was another sort of problem with hers and she needed it fixed. The only ones who could do that worked here at Gringottâs, so here she was. In the seemingly never-ending queue, taking up the entirety of her day off.
âSo do you think the queueâs actually this long or is it bewitched to look long to keep all the wix away who donât have genuine problems with their accounts?â a voice asked from behind her.
She chuckled. âOne has to wonder.â
âIf so, I applaud them their ingenuity. They must not have to put up with many silly problems.â
âIt depends. The wix who have silly problems might be very tenacious,â she replied.
âIs that you? Are you tenacious?â
She turned and looked into his dark eyes. âWhat do you think?â
âOy, Granger, didnât know that was you.â
She smirked and shrugged. âI had my hair dreaded, so itâs not so insane anymore. Itâs not your fault you didnât recognize me.â
âDo you recognize me?â
âNott, correct?â she asked, primly not turning around again as the queue took a half a step forward.
âNott, but you are correct,â he replied and she chuckled despite herself. It was just the sort of witty half-joke that she loved.
âHow many times do you get to use that line?â she asked.
âNot nearly as much as one might think,â he said. And the queue shifted forward three more steps as a few wix got fed up and stepped out of it. âSay, would you fancy a coffee after we finish up here?â
âMight be too late in the day for coffee by the time we get out of here.â
âToo right. A nightcap, then?â
She laughed again, turning to look at him, narrowing her eyes as she scrutinized him. âAlright.â
âJolly good,â he said bluntly. âSomething to look forward to in eight hours.â
