Ep 10 - The Bad Ending

Hi, my name is Lemon Sherbet (or Leo, for brevity's sake), and I'm currently writing an alternative script for Ep 9. This blog is for promotions, news, and any asks that people have for my script (but, just like Gooseworx, I'm gonna be selective >:] ) If you see posts similar to this one, just know that I am also FilmsToGo and that this is an alternative blog just for things related to my script! These posts aren't canon to the script (...unless they are HEHEHEHE).

INTRODUCING!

Ep 10 - THE BAD ENDING! by Lemon Sherbet!

That's right, I, formerly TADCToGo and now Lemon Sherbet, am writing an alternative Ep 9 script! I understand my audience needs some characters to significantly develop and some mysteries to be resolved, and I have stepped up to fulfill these needs within my script.

More information under the 'Keep reading':

More about me: I have been a fan of this show for nearly 8 months, with my skills in 3D animation, lighting, and posing being sharpened through my obsession with TADC. I have a YouTube channel and Tumblr account under the names TADCToGo and FilmsToGo respectively, mostly on theories and analysis on specific trends and consistent patterns shown throughout the series (previous poses I have made are mostly on FilmsToGo on Tumblr, but most 3D promotional art posts will also be here as well). I am no stranger to the absolute chore of editing TADC clips T_T. I am, unfortunately, still a beginner writer, but I am putting lots of time and effort into this script, with clear connections to the source material.

Now, the script! My creativity in developing theories and connections within the series has given me a rough idea of what I would like Ep 9 to be like in order to resolve character arcs, answer mysteries of the worldbuilding, and what messages I would like communicated. I talk about some more basic elements of my script in this post, but it's mostly intended for possible worries that could arise while gaining more traction in the future.

The most important note, however, is that I want the lore of the circus to add to the characters. What I mean by this is developing and revealing world lore in an engaging, character-focused light. There will be character subversions, there will be LOTS of deviations from Ep 9's canon but EVERYTHING will be canon to TADC's Ep 1-8. And trust me when I say this, this script is going to have a LOT of foreshadowing from previous episodes because I want to stay as true to the source material as I can.

My VISION! I currently have my Kinger voice actor and am scouting around for more voice actors, however there are no auditions yet, just lists for sign-ups. Auditions will not be anytime soon, as I have not even begun story-boards (it's been only two weeks since I saw the Finale) BUT if you are interested and have some audio examples of your voice acting for this character (even just attempts) then I can put you on the list. TO ALL STORYBOARDERS, ARTISTS, AND ANIMATORS! YOU, yes YOU! I need promotion, I need layouts, I need community, and you are part of it. If you want this project to continue, REBLOG! COMMENT! LIKE! I will be trying to create a Patreon so I can help fund the project and properly compensate the voice actors, storyboarders, animators, and modellers. This is going to be something I am dedicated to, because I LOVE this series, and I empathize with those who are not satisfied with the ending.

Now, to the nay-sayers: I get it. You enjoyed the Finale and you don't appreciate people changing the ending. You were emotionally moved and you don't like how people tear apart your validity in connecting to the material. Unfortunately, I didn't connect to it at all, and I think I'm not alone in this. For me, I'd rather do something with that energy and use it to create art than bitch and moan about an artists' take. What Gooseworx made in Ep 9 was not meant for me, but she still made Ep 1-8, and they moved and intrigued me, and for that I am eternally grateful. Gooseworx's creation has resulted in so much art to be made, for so many people to attempt 3D art, myself included. Regardless of my disconnect to Ep 9, I cannot help but thank everyone who made TADC in getting me motivated on animation and writing. Really, this is a mourning piece of art so I can finally lay this show to rest and move on, and the fact I got so attached shows an amount of artistic masterfulness that is difficult to achieve.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, my asks are open and I am willing to answer any question (unless it's a spoiler or I'm sneaky >:] ). Don't worry, there will be more content shown here, so please FOLLOW if you would like more updates or some 3D art of the show. Audition announcements and inquiries will also be here, so stay tuned for that. There will also be streams in the future with the voice actors, including game plays, casual analysis of the show, and possibly some voice overs and maybe specific asks from donations (I need all the funding I can get for this project).

Hey guys, I've been rather busy with life and writing the script (I'm so glad for my co-writer friend who's getting me off my ass to polish this). Act 3 has been a real toughie to develop. Endings are always hard, so I'm taking my time and doing lots of writing and thematic research. Anyway, here's a cute little render I did in my off time!

Also, none of this promotional stuff is canon but moreso to give the look of the show and to give fans a little more food. There'll be some stuff with more ominous symbological meaning, but renders like this are just for fun.

There will be Pomni angst?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Alright Abstragedy fans, here's a cute lil vid:

This is for an Abstragedy MAP I'm currently in, but I won't tell you which one just yet, but I'll send a link once it's published fully.

[ep-10-the-bad-ending]

To all who are curious about my animation skills, this was a little animation I did for a MAP. Not super proud of it, but I do like the lighting I did and I learnt some new stuff on this project for timelines, the graph editor, and the dope sheet for lighting and camera.

[ep-10-the-bad-ending]

My Ep 9 alt script has begun dialogue development! It's honestly a little scary how real this is becoming, but I thought I'd make this to celebrate. Plenty more renders on this blog and for the future.

[ep-10-the-bad-ending]

Omg, what this script is doing to me, holy moly macaroni-

Dw, I've got most of it down, it's just... emotionally gutting me. 0-0 This is the most fun I've had writing a script, but oww oww owww.

If you're interested in my script, check out my blog, I've got art way better than this there. Anyway, imma brace for more pain I send my way.

Animators no joke were 100% when saying Gangle was the most difficult to animate. Her ribbons and 2D mask are dreadful

(To you Blender nerds, this was just using emission as the material, nothing special, extremely easy)

Btw, these promotional things are not canon in my script, they're just here for creative gushing.

One thing I won't be getting into in my Ep 9 Alt Script

So, within my Ep 9 Alt Script 'The Bad Ending', I have been able to connect most, if not all, questions the series has lore-wise, character-wise, and plot-wise pretty succinctly, but there is one thing that I won't be diving into too much.

That's Kaufmo.

I cannot, for the life of me, find a way to include him. I have found no way I can tie his character into my story. Even for flashbacks, every time I try to incorporate his character, I hit a thick wall that just won't budge. It's infuriating me because he is so key to the desperate need for escape and has a mild connection to Jax and Gangle, whilst also tying thematically to Caine's insecurity of 'nobody laughed at his jokes' and being driven into insanity when trying to please others. He is a really interesting character, but I can't find room for him to breathe in my script, so, as a warning (since I still am developing the script and things could change), don't expect anything Kaufmo-related in my script. That is the most major gripe I have with myself, so this is just a warning beforehand.

BUT I absolutely LOVE when people analyze him and dissect his role within the story. This is not out of not liking him or seeing no complexity, this is mostly due to a need for extreme compaction of conflict and character dynamics within my script, and he just doesn't fit with what I am trying to communicate.

Just a heads-up, but yeah. Oh, and don't expect any abstracted person who wasn't brought up in the series by name or extremely meaningful interaction, they won't be dissected or deeply explored, since most analysis of these characters is head-canons at best and wasting valuable screentime at worst.

Everyone else, however, is going to be brought up VERY meaningfully, be it through conflict, character analysis, thematic relevance, and lore that builds upon character and thematic elements. And yes, this includes Ribbit :] mehehehehehe
