Cometgoddess - Comet's Lair

The World(s) and their people p2

this part canonizes the modded dimensions listed and how i interpret them

The Twilight (the twilight forest)

The Twilight was made by a old and ancient being known as a host, the Host of Action, being one of the youngest host, they were the one to have the most imagination and in turn made the twilight.

Legend says that this dimension was discovered by a gardener, and when the portal was discovered the gardener was gone, and made the new dimension her home

The Aether (the Aether)

the Aether is where every living soul may go to rest, if the soul has lived a good life, they will be reincarnated as a protector of the realm, with golden wings. The realm was made by the Host of Foresite to conserve the souls who spent their life doing good for the world. all actions done for the greater good will be rewarded by blessings or prayers.

The Aether's Protectors may choose a paladin or being they deem worthy to stand by and guard with their magic, which is a rare but praised occurrence to those who wield this magic for good.

Addon Info

-The void also has its own form of magic similar to the aether, which acts as a dark opposite to the light of aether magic

-the Alllands and the Emberlands have similar magic, due to the close interactions between the two dimensions

-the Alllands and the Emberlands were created by the host of Knowledge as tests to see how two seperate environments sustain life. it goes without saying that he is very proud.

-the voidsea was created by the The Host of Entropy but was left unfinished due to the calamity

the suffering never ends

today i found out that my favorite vine has an extended version and i couldnt be happier

wip but Ive been getting into animatics so I thought “what better way to practice than by storyboarding shots from one of my favorite movies?”

Anyways, I’m re-conceptualizing some of Mandrake’s scenes because why the hell not, its good practice and Im able to give him some different expressions.

Also everyone should just be annoyed with Bufo anyways.

@chaetocercus has been enlightened me about marsupials and Soundwave w/ his little family and I can’t help but love it a lot 🦘 it’s very cute but also very cool considering how funky marsupials are! Also consider exhibit A: red kangaroo does (females) are also called blue-flyers because of their coloring! Blue mamas that are very jacked 😌 it’s only the best for them (also, apparently drawing kangaroos is fun, they have a fun shape to them)

Teenagers, amirite?

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Can you guys pretty please do me a favor and vote for Adoroza in the Sanrio Ranking for me please please I want to see more merch of her that I can actually buy and I’m so obsessed with her aesthetic and the lore of her being born in an egg in a lab. She deserves to hang with Kuromi as mutual goth queens

Mandrake (Epic 2013) nominated best animated movie villain dad.

Like holy shit a villain dad who legitimately likes and compliments and loved his son?? With literally ZERO passive aggressive bullshit comments???

Kid was excited to show off his new coat cuz it looked like his dad's and he literally just compliments him?? Says it looks good on him??

More villain dads like him plz

Do you think “Moon Sailor” was a bit, on the nose?

it was intended to be! i made the pilot while keeping in mind that the magical girl genre is actually somewhat niche

i wanted to make sure people like my parents or my girlfriend's law school peers or people who don't watch anime at all could easily follow and understand what's going on. if i asked my parents to name a magical girl anime, they'd be like "what is that" but if i asked them what sailor moon was, they'd be like "oh yeah i've seen those characters before!" sailor moon undoubtedly iconic and people IMMEDIATELY know what it is upon hearing it. "moon sailor" is VERY OBVIOUSLY a parody of that so it's easy to get in that one second of time i have before moving on.

the tricky thing about doing a pilot is the setup and the trickier thing about doing a SUBVERSIVE pilot is that you have to set up what you're subverting on top of everything else. that's why zira's dialogue and language is also a bit expository and on the nose during the "gasp" part. there are people watching who don't know the magical girl genre and its tropes! like how is someone supposed to know that aika anticlimactically poofing into her magical form was a joke if they didn't even know that a magical girl transformation was SUPPOSED to happen? i thought i spelled out hoshi's whole thing pretty well or didn't really need to go that into it but i saw a lot of people confused about what they were and why they were there at all (until zira tells us that they're a magical mascot).

back to "moon sailor," it's a silly one off joke meant to quickly signal to the audience that zira likes manga/anime and the magical girl genre specifically as well as circumvent copyright. i also personally just like on the nose bits hahaha. like on big city greens whenever we parody a brand we usually just put a "B" in front of it. one of my favorite being "blego blocks"

this turned into unsolicited writing advice and definitely more than what you asked for but i hope its helpful to anyone out there looking to make their own shows!! clarity, spelling stuff out and sometimes handholding is important especially in a pilot. even though it can feel stilted sometimes, it's better than completely losing your audience or leaving them with questions. but now that the pilot's done it's job, any following episodes i might make will be unburdened by too much expository language haha
