"There's a room where the light won't find you, Holding hands while the walls come tumblin' down, When you do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it, So sad they had to fade it,

Everybody Wants to Rule the World~"

-Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears

And here it is! The long awaited AvA "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" MAP is complete!

I can't believe it's out for everyone to watch. It was such a delight to work with everyone on this project and I can't even begin to imagine how excited everyone is to finally see the results of all their hard work!

40 parts with 35 participants! And you know what? Everyone absolutely kicked it out of the park

Please take the time you check out everyone's credits below and give them your support!

In a separate post I'll share the MAP Call image, the Thumbnail, and the Credits image without their words because I think they make great backgrounds!

And I hope you enjoy this crowning MAP!

Hey there AvA Fandom! It's that time of the year again!

It's Animator vs Animation Sticktober time! 2024 Edition!

For this year our lovely @k1ttyadventurer has composed a prompt list thats themed roughly around the Animation vs Youtube video and the "Green's Influencer" arc!

For those new to this, AvA Sticktober is a yearly art challenge inspired by the Inktober art challenge where you draw something in ink everyday based on a prompt list!

AvA Sticktober works similarly, expect you can do any of these prompts in any way you want! Traditionally, digitally, written, or arts and crafts? Heck yeah! Want to combine 2 prompts into one? Go for it!  Don’t know what to draw for one prompt? Replace it with one of substitute prompts provided!

There’s no pressure to complete all of them if you don’t have the time or just don’t want to!  The art challenge is all about having fun! 

AvA Sticktober starts on Oct. 1 and ends Oct. 31!

If you fill out any prompts, post it with the tag #AvA Sticktober or #AvA Sticktober 2024 to share it with others!

Additionally, this list will be cross posted to Twitter in case you also feel like sharing it on there as well!

Have fun! 8D

I'm so honored to be part of such an amazing community that for my 1st year running an event like this, it turned out exceed my WILDEST imaginations!

And I had a lot of fun putting it together!

So thank you guys for making this event as awesome as it is!

Alao hints at AvA 6, being 7 parts long? 👀

Ooooooh my gooood

I've barely been keeping up with the current "Green Influencer Arc" and I only know what I've seen from the thing people reblog onto my time

BUT OOOOOOH MY GOD??

I know its speculation if Purple's the one Green's gonna prank

BUT IF IT DOES TURN OUT THAT WAY??

aaaaAAAAH

I love the way you write Purple

Love this guy

He's so sad and reaches all the wrong conclusions

all devils break down

(green<qpr>purple)

You beam into the mirror, inspecting your hair one last time. It never seems to stay fully flat, but at least your bedhead is gone!

Your outfit is good too. A nice sweater jacket fitting for the spring breeze, as well as your usual black top and some blue jeans. Nothing that screams "trying too hard". This is supposed to be casual, after all. You did think very hard on the colors, though— you considered a pink sweater due to the comfort the color gave you and how cherry blossom forests are super pink, but then remembered that one experiment the humans had done about pink as a color slowly stressing inmates out. Maybe blue, but then you'd blend in with the sky too much, and you don't really have any good blues that don't clash with your jeans. Orange doesn't really look good on you, as much as you love the color, and yellow makes you look weird and desaturated. Not that being desaturated is bad, of course, but something cooler brings out your complexion more. Ultimately, you went with a pale green, something that would still stand out while also blending with the grass. Plus, Green really likes the color green. Self absorbed much?

So. Yeah. Not overthinking it at all!

You double-check your inventory, and then climb down the ladder, heading for the nearby portal. This is going to be great! With the picture Green sent, it looks like he put a lot of effort into the picnic too, so there's no way the feeling isn't mutual. You just have to trust him!

You should've noticed with when you arrived and found no picnic basket. Honestly, you should've noticed when he invited you for a picnic. It's clearly revenge for the prank you played on him with Red— how did he find out you planned it? Did she tell him? Did it piss him off? You thought the two of you were on good terms, but you suppose he was just keeping up a ruse so that it'd hurt more when he "pranked" you back.

Smart.

The word is bitter on your tongue. It's also hot on your tongue, as well as the flecks of lava that entered your mouth when you screamed. Rookie mistake, honestly. You automatically pull out a bucket of water, one that you usually keep around to stop yourself from getting hurt when you crash-land, and you splash it over the lava, trying to get the source. Nothing; Obsidian forms and the lava quickly drowns out all the water.

The liquid burns at your legs. It's not a slow sort of deterioration as one would expect, but jabs of sharp pain every few seconds, as if you're just being stabbed over and over, and you're not sure whether that's better or worse.

Your health's down to two hearts now. Green's holding up his phone and recording, his back turned to you. Still, you know he can see you.

You hope the camera captures your watery glare. You're sure that's what he wants.

You feel your stomach drop, and for a second there's confusion, before your vision goes black and you're back in your bed. His laughs still echo in your ears.

You've been watching his videos, of course. Eagerly liking each one, although you share your comments with him over text. He's responded with enthusiasm to each one. He'll probably post this shit as a video too, and his stupid mindless fans will flock to compliment him without even thinking.

You don't think you'll send him a message for this next one though.

You want to take some sort of revenge, go to his PC and knock his lights out in front of his friends, or maybe destroy his instruments to spite him. You try to recall that hatred you felt back after you'd first met him and gotten kicked out of the village, the anger that propelled you for months to beat him up in League.

There's nothing, though. Instead of fire, you just feel some cold disappointment. There's a numbness in your chest.

You remain where you respawn. For some reason, it's hard to move. It's hard to do anything other than think, and even then, your thoughts feel a little muffled. Like someone else is thinking them for you. 

But hey. At least it makes it easier for you to think logically? Mango would commend you for this, honestly. You're keeping your temper!

You take a look at the facts.

Number one: You helped Red plan a prank on Green. You thought this was normal for friends, but you guess not. It's not like you're very good and figuring out when your friends will be upset anymore.

Number two: Green got upset about this.

Number three: What if it wasn't about the prank, though? Maybe he was just waiting for an excuse to hurt you?

Number four: Even if he wanted to hurt you, it's okay, because you deserve it. You hurt him first, and then again, and then again. He's allowed to hate you. He's allowed to hurt you. It's not like you're not used to it.

Number five: But didn't he forgive you for that? You told him why you did it. You said sorry. You said you were bad. You wear your horns, a reminder that you messed up. He knows that.

Number six: But did he really forgive you? He never said the words "I forgive you." He said to fight back against King.

Number seven: He never said the words "I forgive you."

Number eight: He just needed you on his side so he could win. He didn't care about how you actually felt.

Number nine: None of your friends actually care about you. They only tolerate you because Green told them to. Green only told them to because he wants you on his side in case he needs anything.

Number ten: Mango doesn't care about you either. They just keep you around because you remind them of their daughter. And even then you fuck that up, running off whenever instead of just staying with them so they can cope with their empty nest syndrome.

Number eleven: But that's King's problem, not yours.

Number twelve: They only keep you around because you're useful.

Number thirteen: You'd be better off without them.

Your hand moves of its own accord, removing your phone from your inventory and clicking it on.

You'd be better off without them.

You block all their contacts. You don't even hesitate. It's laughably easy, honestly, like you've been waiting to do it this whole time.

You'd be better off without them.

You axe down your house without even realising. You take your essentials. You grab a rocket and set it off, barely feeling the heat as you launch into the sky.

You'd be better off without them, and this is going to prove it.

BRAIN DAVID GILBERT???

[sammy8d257]

I think it depends on the stick figure and what they were created for + their environment

In general, I think Born sticks age the same as human years (1 to 1) but Created sticks age differently since they're made at a general age range (both physically and mentally)

But! If a stick figure is from a website game or animation, they don't age because their environment also stays the same and the time doesn't change for them

It isnt until they step out of the static world onto a Desktop or into the Interspace, does the "Laws of Time" start taking effect, i.e. they start aging

But even then, at what rate they age is debateable

In my headcanons, Purple being a born stick ages per year where as King was created but left his original game a long time ago (like early 2000s). He was created in his 20s but by living in the Interspace and growing mentally, he would be in his late 30s by the time AvM season 3 happens

RYGB were created in their 20s for the SticksFight animation and they've stayed in their 20s (mentally) even while the Desktop

Orange (Second) was created without an age but decided to have their age match the Color Squad, so Orange is also in their 20s

ajfhsjfhjsjd

Basically what this whole thing is leading to is [wildly gestures]

I don't know, do what your heart desires

How do you think sticks age?

The internet and computer tech is still rather young so it’s hard to tell, but with the lore featuring stick children alongside humans creating stick figures, I’m curious how sticks would age in the AvA universe.

Do you think it’s on par with humans? (1 human year = 1 stick year)

Or on par with dogs and cats? (1 human year = 15 stick years)

Or something like elves? (10 human years = 1 stick year)

Or maybe some other thing I haven’t thought of. I am genuinely curious what the community thinks
