LIVE Turbo reaction. Recreated very painstakingly by yours truly. Tried my very best to recreate the scene faithfully, some notes about what that entailed under the cut along with a version of the gif that hasn't been enlarged.

Thank you to @king-crawler for a version of the clip without any weird interpolation artifacts, made my life 10x easier.

The most accurate thing in this GIF is probably movement and timing. There are potentially a frame or two where I could've incorrectly calculated how far he had moved, but when it comes to when he moves and how he moves, I'm pretty certain about what I have. I had the clip open and frame count visible as I worked, and I am an animator, so I know my stuff.

The sprites themself I would say are pretty accurate? I started from what was shown in these GIFs on the wiki, and I made a fair few corrections since I started working with them. I'm the least confident on the wheels, if you're wondering. It felt like there was something more going on with them in the movie when compared to the GIFs on the wiki, but I couldn't be fully confident.

The colors are 8-bit, which is not how the wiki GIFs' colors were, and honestly I'm not sure if this is more accurate to the movie... but I felt like it was more accurate to the spirit of WiR, you know? Also, imo, love these colors a lot more. Fun fact that I learned! 8-bit color maps don't really have proper greys in them, since they distribute their bits unevenly between red, green, and blue. There were some ways to get around this at the time and it's a bit more complicated than that, but I've already written a couple paragraphs so I'll leave it there. The color map I used was from the hardware Rally-X used since that is the game that likely inspired TurboTime.

The aspect ratio I did a lot of math to get... but I'm still not super confident about it just because it's pretty irregular. I'm not sure if it makes more sense that I've counted something wrong or if its more likely that the animators weren't like, super strict about it lol.

The thing I am the very least confident about is how high up Turbo is on the screen. Nearly no frame of reference for that, so i just tried seeing how many Turbos he was from the bottom of the screen lol. Sometimes that is the best you can do.

tbh my latest biggest theory for why HoO and onwards is such a dramatic drop in quality and consistency is just. Rick stopped making teaching guides.

Like, the Lightning Thief teacher's guide is SUPER in-depth with even stuff like sources about middle grade child psychology and exact specifications of where he's applying that, explaining what different character's goals/motivations are, their dynamics with each other and their environments, etc etc. Even specifying which specific myths certain plot elements are supposed to reference or be about.

That stuff just doesn't exist for later books. There's activity guides and smaller, significantly more simple teacher guides for later books but they don't go into anywhere NEAR the same level of depth. The TLT one is a full lesson plan that breaks down the book at every level and explains what's going on and more or less why Rick did that. The others are all basically just glossaries of terminology and some simple question guides.

And they didn't even use the TLT teacher's guide for the Disney+ show because they clearly aren't adhering to any of what's discussed in that breakdown of the book.

By creating a teaching guide alongside writing the actual book, that's forcing you to document what you're doing, why, your sources, and information about your characters and the story they're in. It's like an even more in-depth version of a series bible. But that's lacking for later books (and etc) and it shows because that level of thought and depth and attention just isn't there anymore.

Restrained & Detained

Return of prison blue this time with phantom in a straight jacket. Perhaps there was mischeif... Or embezzlement.

But for real though I feel like phantom wouldnt mind the jacket its essentially what he does all the time anyway.

POV you’re a deceased mother and you realise not only have the other ghosts never made it to the age of 18 but almost all of them are related to the same dude expect for the oldest who never even had parents

I just randomly thought of this and I thought it was too funny not to draw it

btw it's fine if you dont know how to feel about the election yet. to be exhausted and depressed, it's normal after something this awful and the way thing after thing has kept happening. you dont have to do anything yet. I know I've personally been too depressed to do anything but play stardew. I know I'm absolutely enraged and in despair, but if my brain is anything less than blurry and numb- even joy- I'll just cry, and it's fine to be like that. you dont have to figure anything out yet, theres still a few months. you can't expect yourself to be over it and ready for anything in just a few days. btw
