Lancer manufacturers explained with lemon memes

IPS-N: A lemon is a mighty fruit

Smith-Shimano Cropro: Did you know that a lemon isn't naturally occurring? It is, in fact, born from crossbreeding a bitter orange and a citron! Which means... LIFE NEVER GAVE US LEMONS! WE INVENTED THEM ALL BY OURSELVES!

Horus: When life gives you lemons, m̶̨̢̛̮͎̞͉̟͈̖͔͔̊̈͆̔̕͠a̷̛̜̼̓̓̏̋̂͂͂̽̃͋͘͝k̴̡̛͓͓̠͎͙̝̪͖͒̓̿́̀̀̏͘͜͝e̸̢̩̞̋̐̄̈́͋̋͘͘ ̶̧̜̘̹͚̈́̎͛͗̿̓̂̿̅̈́̅͂̂s̶̛̺̻̹͒̈́̅͐͂̀̐̊̆́̉́̎͠ḁ̴̧̙̹̬̭̥̝̻̹͇̜̻̺̺͌͠͝c̷͍̜̺̑̔͜r̴̡̘͊̃̇͋̐͂��̲͍̠͕̪ͅi̶̦̯͇͆̓̎̄̓̆̐͛̀̋̈́̆̓̿͜͠f̴͖̦̮̍̊͑̆̒̒̂ì̴̖͖̣̮͋̀́͐c̸̖̩͉͉̫͚͎͎̟̰̣͓̈͊̂ͅȅ̶̛̼̞̤̼̙̙̙̝̞̘͙̮̹̩̾̆̑̾̒͐̂̇̀̔́͘͝s̴̨͎͓̿̈̓̐́̉́̇͋̒̀̕

Harrison Armory: When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give John Creighton Harrison lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get the Think Tank to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with a web series based on a tabletop game that uses limited animation I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened three times

An Alfabusa Fan's Retrospective

So, lets start out easy with where I started: Like many people it was with "If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device". The first few episodes really betray how it all began: A bunch of /tg/ nerds (or at least /tg/ adjacent) fucking around making in lore jokes about how pissed the Emperor would be. You can tell very quickly though that something changed. They stop using slurs by like the 5th episode (or at least real life ones that still are being used to harm people). And then eventually all those bits of "Haha gay people" were recycled into a slow burn, likely gonna be tragic arc of two people who never had a chance to be together falling for each other. And of course, the custodes being given the "Its not cause you are gay, its not even cause you like showing your muscles off, its cause you are an asshole" treatment". It was fun to watch this silly parody turn into a real plot that wanted you to take it at least somewhat serious. It was also honestly pretty touching to see the creators become more aware people and to see things previously used for cheap jokes turn into real drama, instead of just a bunch of jokes where the punchline is a slur. And then there's Hunter the Parenting. See, TTS was in a lot of ways a test run. It might not have been that originally, but it was where a lot of the growth as artists that the crew went through happened. It was also their test run for making things bright and cheery and even fun without qualifier in a grimdark setting. But Hunter the Parenting is what they made with all that knowledge already in the bag. And WOW does it fuckin do it well. Its got action, mystery, intrigue, interpersonal drama, a canon gay couple who are totally not Kitten and Magnus made into normal people and who are canonically gay at each other in the first episode. Its also one giant mess of WoDfans kinda knowing what's happening behind the scenes and the authors making it even more fun when they give us more hints that imply its way bigger than what we began to imagine. There's something for everyone, aside from the homophobes, and that's beautiful in my eyes. And then there's Zero Viscosity. The Halflife Fanfic I didn't know I needed but now am excitedly wanting more of. They got the vibes down perfect, they know more lore than I ever will about that series, and they are having fun with the narrative sandbox that valve constructed for themselves. Its deeply fun to see the differences in perspectives at play between characters, and that punkish vibe of a bunch of weirdos society would reject under any other circumstances slowly finding themselves in situations where heroism is necessary.

Over all, Alfabusa content has been a wild ride where the people behind the name seem genuinely interested in being better people and making better and better work. It shows in the timeline of their work clearly, and I am excited to see where it goes in the future. They are some of the few creatives that can immediately and heavily get me invested in something new before I even see it and its cause they simply do not fucking miss with their core shit, and even when they miss with the peripherals they always try to make up for it. The list of people who can say that in my mind is fucking tiny and they are up there on it.

mentor au au) just for fun what would have happened in jaune had gotten Ciaphas Cain (hero of the imperium) as a mentor instead?

Just for fun, I think the best answer to this question is the video parody, "What if the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device" featuring Takahata101 as Cia-Cia-Ciaphus Cain, hero of the Imperium.

"TELL THEM, YOU COWARD! TELL THEEEEEEEM!"

"Jaune, is everything okay?"

"Mhm, yeah. Just fine, Pyrrha. Everything's just great."

Do you and your team consider to be part of the indie animation community up with Helluva Boss, Lackadaisy, Murder Drones, Satina, etc? It might be because your shows aren't original IPs and instead parodies of other franchises, but you have been doing this for almost a whole decate, made enticing and deep world building, characters, lore, and stories, and sure, you they're not frame by frame hand drawn like the afformentione shows, but still your show's quality are as great as them, personally I think it's unfair you're not aknowledged by them and I wonder why. How do you feel about that and would you like to be aknowledged up there in the indie animation community?

Oh, uh, oOoiaiaoOoOh I dunno.

Honestly I’ve not really watched any of those shows and the only thing I really know about them is that they’re very well-animated and popular. But they feel distant from what we do.

I’ve always tended to see our projects to be more ajdacent with like Abridged Serieses and early 2010s Gmod/Source stuff. Doing our most with a limited format and style, and focusing primarily on parodizing IPs we’re enthusiastic about.

And I’m perfectly content with how we’ve been acknowledged on that front!!
