Millie Warm the Kettle (once more!)

Remade an animatic from last year! I made the original in a day and wanted to go back and correct 1) a lot of easy mistakes visually and 2) how I communicated my characterizations overall

This was also a bit of practice with my new designs for the lifers (namely BigB, Grian, and Martyn even though Martyn is only in a couple shots), the animal coding concept, and with backgrounds/environments

It’s really short, but I like how it turned out :D

Thinking about the "first" player to kill another person in the entire life series, back in Third Life (or, well, there are three people this could apply to depending on what you consider really killing another person to mean)

Grian is the one who technically caused another player's death first. Grian who lured a creeper into a crowd, a simple joke gone wrong. Grian, who feels such a strong weight of guilt he swears his life to Scar. Grian, who is followed by the weight of guilt every season, who holds himself to a standard he can never reach, because he doesn't think he can ever be forgiven.

Martyn is actually the first person to kill another player directly ('directly' meaning the killers name is in the death message). Martyn who was ordered to bring a new era of bloodshed to the server by beheading his king. Martyn who has never washed the blood from his hands since. Martyn who has always been followed by invisible eyes.

And then Skizz is the first person to perma-kill someone. Skizz who killed Jimmy, and then Cleo just after, because one wasn't enough. Skizz who was proud. Skizz who's possibly the sweetest person you'll ever meet, but who is so completely swept up by the violence of this server that he'd brag about being the first to get to watch the life really leave another player.

i could write a story set in a world where birds are known for spreading diseases and everyone thinks birds are gross and disgusting and people are afraid of them & if you say "wow that bluejay is really pretty" then people look at you like you have a third head, or tell you about how much they hate birds. and if you say "i think maybe the bird hate is unjustified" then everybody says "so do you think it's good that some people get the disease from them and die!?" or they say "i think all birds should go extinct. there's other animals that can do whatever roles they do in nature. let's kill them all" and this is a popular opinion. does it sound familiar? huh? does it? wouldn't that suck? bugs. it's bugs.
