so THAT just happened

The first half of TPoM season 1 has such a weird vibe. Not in a bad way but it's just very noticeable. They haven't decided what they're doing with any of the characters yet—even the penguins, the direct main characters, take a long time to start feeling fleshed out. This results in a lot of plot-driven episodes rather than character-driven ones, which again is not bad, but you really feel how simple and plain the early episode plots are compared to how wacky they get later on when the characters have actual personalities to work with.

We've talked before about how underutilized Marlene is. It's so clear that they wanted her to be a main character because she's in a lot of episodes, but rarely does she actually have anything to do. More often than not she's just there to serve as exposition, which really sucks because she's so fun when she has a bigger part in the plot. This also happens to an extent with Phil and Mason; they appear quite frequently in the early episodes but have very little to do (come to think of it, both chimp-centric episodes are in season 1 and then after that we see them less and less). I think the crew did this partly because they hadn't created any side characters yet so they had very few characters to actually work with—it's really a hot minute before any other zoo animals start to appear with regularity.

Nobody tells you that gifmaking can involve so much damn MATH

I'm trying to make a new layout for the AHKJ ten year anniversary sets that isn't so ugly and I am Struggling. I'm talking index cards full of sketches and calculations trying to make these pixels add up 😭

This is why all shows ever should be weekly releases! I'm definitely at the point of thinking it would be far less work to just make separate gifsets for each episode than to fit 13 episodes into one gifset without it looking like trash 😂

But it's alright! I have been wanting to try more complex stuff like I've seen Professional Gifmakers™ in other fandoms do, so this is just how we learn things!

I FINISHED IT finally I can get on with my life!

@lemurblog was curious to see the index cards so consider this a sneak peak of the gifset lol!

First is the initial draft, second has all the proper measurements + guidelines to put into photopea, and third is the final clean version. As you can see it was initially going to be four big gifs like the first few anniversary sets but then I realized that was making it unnecessarily complicated so I ended up splitting them all into smaller sections lol

As I said, I redesigned this because I feared the other layout was ugly; my new fear is that this one might be a bit too long to scroll through. But I refuse to mess with it more so we're done here, until season 4 at least 👏

Still need a quote to tack in the caption but once again DW did not promote this season At All so I'm at a loss 🙃 I'll gladly take suggestions if anyone has any

a sort of recent, sort of old gift for @just4penguins! There was a little going away party organized by people in the fanbase (I think @purplewalskurco) who kindly let me know it was happening so I could join. Enjoy the cuteness!

I was watching TPOM the other day and upon completion of this episode, I immediately turned off the tv, went to my studio, and worked on this drawing for two hours until it was done. I'm not sure what came over me.
