Still don't know what to do next in the crossover fic.

So, I’m on the day before they set sail. Got Yami and Vangeance off training with new grimoires, because in this fic becoming the Tree of Q gave them a shared mental state and when they split back into two people, their magic affinities kind of became complementary mixes of their two magic together. So, I know it’d be good to catch back up to them at some point to illustrate how their new affinities are, but I got to bridge to that a bit more. 

I last left off with a scene between Finral and Langris that evolved into them stopping by to see Finesse and Finral taking off immediately because of their agreement but Langris staying, because it seemed logical both of them would go see her before taking off for a few weeks on a diplomatic mission especially since they just got out of healing after Spade. Now I got to figure out some stuff to do between that point and catching up with where Yami and Vangeance’s training took them. 

So I’ve got some options but nothing’s really sticking with me. Like I know I need something with Boruto at some point. I also would like to do something with Liebe. I already took Boruto into the marketplace earlier in the fic when Magna and Zora went after dashi ingredients for Yami and took Boruto with them. 

I could do something with Asta, Yuno, Noelle, Mimosa, and Liebe, but what? They are all going to the Land of Fire so they’ve got to prepare for that. 

Earlier I tried what would happen if Boruto showed off some ninjutsu by rising to Luck’s challenge, but that made things too complicated and I want to keep this simple. Also I’m not sure if Luck would identify Boruto as someone worthy of fighting since Luck probably doesn’t know what a ninja is let alone that Boruto represents a ninja out of ninja school since Boruto is like three years younger than people are when they get their grimoires. I dunno. It got complicated because I realized that being exposed to the mana healing properties of the beach, the food, water, etc...of Clover Kingdom, and so forth, Boruto, like Yami, could develop the ability to use mana, and again, that complicates things. 

Like obviously Boruto’s affinity would be lightning because he’s already got an affinity for that in terms of jutsu. But then that begs the question would mana dirupt chakra? Would it work with chakra? Chakra might just be a body’s personal mana and what the mages do is integrate their personal mana with the natural mana around them. Like would Boruto only be able to use lightning magic on one side of his body and then the other side could do jutsu? Then you’ve got that karma factors in there and again, too complicated, though it would be interesting to delve into if this was going to be a much longer and involved fic. 

I haven’t done much with Gauche, Gordon, or Grey in comparison to other chaacters not going to the Land of Fire. I could also pull Letoile, David, Klaus, or Alecdora into things. Sylph’s also been weirdly absent so far, but I’d think that’s a function of the mana healing process and curse cleansing everyone had to go through at the beach post-Spade as it is the narrative just hasn’t called for her yet. 

Julius, who only understand that jutsu is some type of foreign non-grimoire style magic could also crop up before they set sail but idk. Seems like they have to be extra careful with him because of some manga spoilers. 

Anyway, lots to consider. I just need to like figure out the flow of things. 

Part of the problem here is I also got my first dose of vaccine a few days ago so it might just be I’m still too tired for writing yet. We’ll see how it goes.

For my animation, i drew inspiration from many places. The first artist i think inspired me was Robert Morgan who is  stop motion animator who specializes in horror. I liked the way he uses stop motion to  make movements seem jagged and more horror like. His films have a comedy effect too which i also ise in my spring heeld jack film.

Another influence on my film was Tim Burton. The shape and lankinees of my character is directly inspired by how Tim Burton creates his stop motion chaacters. originally i had wanted to do stop motion with 3d characters like Tim Burton and Robert Morgan, however because of extenuating circumstances i didn’t have the time to make models of each scene. 

Instead of persuing 3d stop motion, i instead decided to research 2d stop motion with puppetry where i came across  Annie Katsura Rollins, an American artist, scenic designer, and puppeteer. Her traditional Chinese shadow puppetry inspired me to instead use shadow puppets as i liked the idea that they only ‘suggests’ what the character is doing, you cant see facial expressions and the movement is simple. I chose this type of animation also to save time as i had been ill and didnt have to to lip sync or put too much detail into my animation. If i were to re do this project, i would have made my shadow puppets much more detailed and the story line longer. 

 also got a lot of inspiraion from silent films, which is hwere i got the layout of the film from. I used boards to illustrate the storyline instead of narrating because it added to the old fashioned feel of the film which is what i wanted as spring heeld jack was around in the 1830′s.
