You have no rizz, no aura, and yet you still think yourself a hero?

[fallout-lou-begas]

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

More freaks for the freak pile.

shipping a consensual, safe & sane pairing all the while i'm shaking my head in disapproval so the audience knows i still love wildly toxic abusive fictional dynamics

[biggass-pancake]

no no, i get it. i can see why you're confused- I want the CANON to be completely platonic, fucked-up exploration of intimacy that transcends human sexuality but never includes human sexuality.

I want to be the pervert that makes them fuck.

bracing myself for episode 9 by doing a tadc-themed study of "The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" by Frederic William Burton. i am so stressed.

(this was a really fun exercise though!!)

Lazing around forever

[toa-archive]

Started to feel very sideways in the past hour so let's see if can post this without anything exploding.

As probably noticed last week was double checking David Woo (Aka Dwooman)'s site when found there had been a shuffle around. All that were there before still are so not lost a sequence to it this time which is great. How about a bit of interrogation from the Trollhunters episode Homecoming for your week? While it is on his website in youtube format Here, it's been shortened to fit the final audio...

What you really want to do is click this link for the google drive version. Blinky will be very upset if you don't click it, look at him:

He's about to crack and everything.

Nothing yesterday for hopefully understandable reasons. Had a few times people thought posts were fake (??) so figured best to avoid that entire problem this time.

To make up for it, here's some credits art from Wizards by Alison Donato!

Can't stop me when I have links vimeo.

Got some Dan Stone in the form of a sequence from the 3Below episode, A Glorious End, right here for you this week!

Source for when the embed inevitably breaks.

Now, if 3 Below held any weight at all in Tales of Arcadia, more emphasis would have been put on the Guardians of Arcadia taking the Genesis Seals away from Bellroc & Skrael and hiding them away on Akiridion-5 as a parallel to how King Fialkov and Queen Coranda hid Gaylen’s Core on Earth because it was too dangerous to keep it on their own planet but NOOOOOOOOOOO-

[slic3d--br3ad]

I miss Bellroc and Skrael ;;;;;

[aaronwaltke]

Hi, Aaron! Does Douxie eat toothpaste? 😭😭

There was a full year after Douxie became immortal where he ate nothing but toothpaste, just to see what would happen.

By the end, he smelled like an air freshener and swore he could talk to pine trees.

Something I did in class

[slic3d--br3ad]

(for fan fiction purposes) What do you think Claire and Eli would choose as their majors in college/uni?

Claire canonically was able to get her diploma at the end of Trollhunters and by extension has the highest chance of graduating high school early. I'd say Krel does too, but he'd stay in his grade because he wants to make age appropriate friends. In my opinion, Eli is also capable of graduating high school early but just keeps it on the down low until casually dropping to Jim and co. that he'll be starting community college classes with Claire instead of attending senior year at Arcadia Oaks.

[toa-archive]

His website is still borked but do have the link for youtube! As a follow up to last week and during the same internship with House of Cool, Tristan Cottin uploaded a second sequence he worked on. This one is also A House Divided juuuust a different scene.

The script got tightened a wee bit in the final but it's still fascinating to see.
