Don't take this lying down! Fuck Tumblr feeding AI our posts. Opt-out now! Leave them nothing to work with.
On mobile it's under visibility settings. On browser it's under blog settings. I opted out on browser and I had to do it for each side blog individually. I'm assuming it's the same on mobile.
In a show filled with witches and demons, my favorites turned out to be the sad humans who only wanted to find some semblance of home. :,)
The Requiem cafe had a voice actor panel the other day and through some divine intervention (my classmate) I got a ticket.
I knew Dana was gonna be there and I wanted to draw something special to show my thanks in case I got to meet her. I thought about what I loved most about the show and it came down to these dudes :,)
I didn’t have a lot of time to finish this bc of school and unfortunately, I have the motor skills of a used tissue so I was not able to get it finished and printed on time <3333
But low and behold I did end up meeting them and getting my art signed, just not the one I planned lol <333
revamped my Tenna Deltarune design.........
Yes, yes and yes.

happy valentine's day from baron and ty!
wait. tag with your favourite video game piece of music. if i had to pick one, i'd probably say wanderlust from ffxv.
so I’ve been gaining a lot of insight into the animation industry recently, especially in regards to pitching & the creation of new shows. There’s a few ways to go about it.
First, there’s pitching to a studio. When you pitch, it has to be SHORT and CONCISE. You may write a lovingly detailed pitch bible that perfectly breaks down episodes and characterizations, and it might barely even get read. First impressions, first impressions, first impressions!
Most peoples’ first projects don’t get picked up. I’ve heard a few stories from directors that said they tried pitching a story they’d had for years, which got rejected, to then spend a week or even several hours in their car coming up with a new idea, only for that to get greenlit.
But that’s not the end of it. Just because a show gets greenlit, doesn’t mean it will ever get finished. There’s lots of things that can happen. Sometimes, unexpected major world events (like… a global pandemic) can cause projects to get chopped. Sometimes, a CEO change or studio merge means a single person can decide a project “no longer fits with the company’s brand.” Sometimes, the one producer that was rooting for your project gets laid off, and no one else cares enough, so it gets shelved. Sometimes, a streaming service decides to create an animation department, and then they decide they don’t want it anymore. Sometimes, the studio will be simultaneously be developing another project that was too similar to yours and they just didn’t think to tell you until they decide yours is the one with less potential.
On top of that, almost everyone in the industry is saying that “studios just don’t pick up original content anymore.” Studios want something they can franchise, something that will bring in money. New content is risky. Established fanbases are safer.
However! Studios can still be a very good thing. They can be unionized. They can provide better benefits and resources. They can have connections and infrastructure and a larger volume of workers. At a studio, you can divide the labor and produce more in less time. Longer episodes, longer seasons, more consistency in quality.
But this comes with all of the disadvantages of having more in the kitchen.
The alternative is indie animation.
With indie animation, you have total freedom. Full artistic control. It doesn’t even matter if your idea sucks ass, because there’s no one to tell you you can’t make it. You could make it anyway, and you can make it whatever you wanted.
The thing is, making animation is hard. In my production class last semester, the average maximum animation one person could make in that timeframe was 30-60 seconds, and that’s not even counting background design, sound design, or cleanup/color. To make a 5 minute animated short, you should probably have at least 5 people.
And it is CRUCIAL you have a production manager. Ideally someone who’s not already doing art for the project. Most projects without a production manager will fall apart pretty quickly. Once the adrenaline and impulse-fueled motivation wears off, you need someone to hold you accountable and enforce deadlines and proper time management.
Speaking of time, that’s also hard to get. The more people you have, the more likely schedules won’t line up. Most people will have school, or other jobs.
And it costs MONEY!!!!!! You either have everyone work for free and volunteer their time & energy, or you establish a business as a proper indie studio, with people who may or may not have experience on how to handle paying someone else’s salary. And the money has to come from somewhere, so you have to rely on crowdfunding like patreon or kickstarter. (This, by the way, is why I could never fault an indie animation for releasing merch with their pilot.)
And like, maybe you wanna do a series, and all your friends agree to volunteer their labor and time to make the first episode, but it was unanimously not sustainable. Deciding not to produce a second episode until you can raise enough money is not being suddenly greedy, it’s attempting to compensate people rather than expecting them to be continuously taken advantage of.
You have to consider your output as well. There are some outliers like Worthikids, who afaik does all his animation himself, and afaik can work on it full-time thanks to his patreon subscribers. And he still has only produced a total of 30 minutes of animation (for Big Top Burger specifically) in the past 4 years. This is an IMPRESSIVE feat and this is with using a lot of 3D as part of his pipeline!!
Indie animation also has the complication of being more accessible for fandoms. When you’re posting your Official Canon Content on youtube, it doesn’t look a lot different than the fandom-created video essay in the sidebar next to it. What’s canon vs what’s fanon becomes less distinguishable. The boundaries are blurrier. When the creator is just some guy you follow on twitter, it’s easier to prod them for info regarding ships and theories and word-of-god confirmation. They don’t have a PR team or entire international tv networks to appeal to. And this is when creators get frustrated that their fans snowball and turn their creation into something they don’t recognize (and no longer enjoy) anymore.
So it’s tricky.
Thankfully, the threshold to learn animation is fairly low nowadays!! There are TONS of resources online to learn it on your own without forking over a couple hundred thousand to a private art college. There are conventions and discord servers and events where you can network, if you know where to look.
I know it can seem discouraging in the face of capitalism, but I think that’s all the more reason why it’s so important to BE DETERMINED about animation!! We’re already starting to see the beginning of an indie animation boom, and I think it’s a testament to humanity’s desire to tell stories and create art. Even if there’s no financial gain, we do whatever it takes to tell our stories anyway.
Make a valentines if my ocs/j (no no don’t do that at all.)
your anonymous, how would I even?
I was gonna make Valentine’s Day cards of my fav ships. But after sitting down and planing them out I realised I have like, 2 that I care about 💀

*Gives blue cupcake*
thanks, dude ʕ•̫͡•ʔ
please... your octavian is literally the nectar of the gods
Cheers ✨
well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object
I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh
btw with art when people say 'youve got to do it scared' 'youve got to draw bad' 'youre not gonna know how to do it until you do it' it sounds like bullshit but its true. 90% of art is just getting over the fear that it's not going to be good enough to deserve to be made in the first place. but you're here. you're alive and, with no need to justify that, you're going to make art. it's just part of being alive. you'll spend so long worrying you aren't doing it good enough that you'll look back and realized you didn't live a single day of it.
do you ever say something and then think "wow this isnt even a bit. im just like this"
Naturally ✨
Remember folks, it’s not about what you can do for your cult leader, it’s about what your cult leader can do for you (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

how to make frend on tumblr?? 🥺
being somewhat unhinged helps I think
The semesters over so I can breath again 😫😫😫
Take my final project for a class, not my favorite but still 😵💫
Omg, i thought the follower forms used in your CotL art dump looked like the Doom and Shroom ones! i thought it was just a funny coincidence but then you confirmed it
Yup! I love Shroom and Doom. I like to think if we ever got an animated series they would be the main cast. The chemistry they all had with each other was insane 💥💥💥
This is what I feel like whenever I save someone from being sacrificed in the woods
I NEED MORE OCTAVIAN PLS HE'S TOO FRIGGING CUTE-
Sick
Some pics of what my pjo Ocs wore for Halloween this year ｡◕‿◕｡
Aubrey’s a big fan of inflatable costumes, The T-Rex ones, the alien abduction one, if it’s inflatable she’ll love it.
Wisteria likes to go as the classics, bc it’s a human holiday so she doesn’t really ever think about it till it’s time and those costumes are in abundance.
As well as she likes Halloween bc she can walk outside of camp without having to cover her legs and people think she’s being creative by mixing two monsters together or just complimenting her "work’ on the goat legs. Sometimes she won’t even wear a costume outside Camp, it’s freeing for her ✨💥💥💥
And Izabell is all about scary, so whatever threatening costume she can’t make. She not a big fan of Halloween she just like the rush of dressing powerful
An assignment I did for school :)) and I just think he's neat :))
