Rather Than Reading My Book Pile I’m Rendering It!

Thing is about the terfs sending me anons wishing violence upon me, is if I respond with any kind of anger, it'll suddenly be evidence of "male behaviours" and "male socialisation"

Tonight, midnight UK time*...

is the first screening of my animated short film with Yuri Heart, The Tale of the Little Witch!

*[4pm PST, 7pm EST, 8am JST]

We've been working on it for the last week (pulling crazy hours lmao, rip 2 work) and I'm really excited to finally be able to show everyone.

The occasion: Yuri's a vtuber who's an old friend of mine, and she's been building up to this big 're-debut' stream for months and months. She's made herself an amazing new model which you'll get to see tonight, and updating just about everything on the stream. And alongside all that, we made a film together~

For this film, Yuri wrote and directed, and created the music and 2D art. My role in this project was all the 3D modelling, rigging, animation, and lighting etc. and video wrangling, and Roubharb provided excellent voice acting.

I won't say any more than that for now, but I'm looking forward to writing a big 'making-of' post next week. So stay tuned, and I'd love to see you at the stream ^^

Spent the past week making 🐡

“Why should a French or a German citizen be born with access to world-class services and well-protected rights (actual implementation on the basis of minority status may differ), while a Somalian citizen is not only denied those things, but also faces huge obstacles in becoming a citizen (or even a resident) of anywhere else? If you are born a citizen of Japan, there are 190 countries you can travel to freely without a visa; if you are a citizen of Afghanistan, there are only 25. If you are born a U.K. citizen, and feel like a change of scene, you can pay $7 for permission to go to Canada, hop on a flight, and stay for up to six months without anyone bothering you. If you are born in a refugee camp, it can take years before you even get a chance to live in a place like Canada. So how can we possibly consider ourselves to be people who care about freedom and autonomy, when thanks to borders our destinies are practically assigned to us at birth? Is it absurd to form your own state? Or is it more absurd to have states in the first place?”

Why on earth would you like herpesviruses? Don’t they cause STDs?

Herpes simplex virus 2 does indeed cause a sexually transmitted disease, but there are several other herpesviruses that infect humans, many of which are not sexually transmitted. Coldsores, chicken pox and glandular fever...

some stuff.

I havent been linking my youtube videos, or posting much at all lately. Because I’ve been ill, and so even when i do post videos (produced a a much slower rate than i used to) I forget to link them here or on twitter.

I have managed to pick twitch streaming back up again though (go check me out also i have a discord server where i announce schedules etc) and the last few days ive been working on a new overlay and start/end panels etc.Example of how it looks in context:

I’ve gone with a vaporwave design and I’m really pleased with how theyve come out. And now that I’ve settled on a style i can make banner art etc and update all my channels and so on to match!

These were all made by me, to the point of hand-dithering the frame corners, and all the photos used were hand-edited by myself from cc0 stock-photography.

under the cut: the thanks for watching panel, and an overlay for 4:3 aspect ratio games (which is still a WIP)
