Short little animatic for @whumpsday 's Kane and Jim!! :D The audio is from Gastronauts on DropoutTV

This was partially inspired by this ask and a few others I've seen about an AU where Jim has a dog

Some musings about it and the transcript can be found under the cut:

Anyway, yep, this is just a short, low-quality, silly little animatic that I started making at a responsible time in the past.

Oh, what was that time you ask? It was just *checks notes* on October 11... which was almost two months ago.....

yeah it was 95% done and then I lost the motivation to do anything productive for awhile lol. But I have finally pushed myself to finish it!!! :D

Getting Jim's hair right was hard at first and I'm still not sure if this is 100% accurate, but I think this looks good on him! And I didn't feel like coloring Kane in, so enjoy this literally paper white boy!

And to put this out there, I generally think comparing someone's trauma response to an animal isn't good, but this is how the audio went so just don't think about it too hard lol. The story already has a lot of dehumanization in it anyway.

Transcript:

Kane: I have had a relationship to food where no matter how much food I have had, I always sort of feel that I will never have food again. And so, when I eat, I need it to be enough food so that when that likelihood that I'll never find more food happens, I ate a lot the last time I ate.

Jim: My dog has that.
