The most interesting aspect to me about the game is Henry's very realistic, drawn out climb in social status. Not only does he have to put himself out there as he advances in station, but he clashes with rules and norms he doesn't understand, and very much embodies what a medieval lower class individual would be during that time.

He cannot read. He does not own land. He has absolutely no money.

it's just a very realistic portrayal of an unusual and rare climb in social status for someone like Henry.

i discovered this recently while catching up on shorts from the last few years that i've missed on the festival circuit and wanted to share: PBS has a whole series of native shorts by native filmmakers from sundance's native american and indigenous program. each episode is under 30 minutes and features 1-2 shorts with discussion from ariel tweto and bird runningwater. it's free to watch if you have access to PBS (sorry to non-americans)

and then while you're at it... you should donate to PBS.

Added more to the animation novel, including reinserting a deleted scene. Wordcount is 96k. This novel feels… really long… but hopefully not so long that a reader feels like it’s a slog. Hopefully instead like, how The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is really long… there’s just a lot that happens. Except unlike how Kavalier and Clay takes place over decades, the animation novel is really long because a lot, a lot happens in the span of one year, and I have multiple extra characters’ stories packed in there too, to give the dimensionality of perspective…

Random notes:

-the fact that there’s a little (and by little, I mean fat, rotund, furball) tanuki in here that’s reoccurringly being very cute and very ridiculous just warms my little heart. A little tricksy tanuki in a little animation story set in 1930s California. What could be better than this…!

-sometimes I think about how the whole B story with my characters Rudy, Carlos, and Luis is actually the most unhinged romantic thing that I could have included in this own novel. And people are really only going to know the extent of that if they know the personal author’s story that informs the inclusion of this fictional story. When I say romantic, I mean romantic. And when I say unhinged, I mean, I hope that anyone in the know doesn’t give me the deep side-eye and go… that’s really weird that you allowed that one incident in your life to affect you to the degree of still resonating through your writing decades later, in the multiple forms that it has taken. But you do you…
