How did you get so good at animating and drawing? Aside from practice, what techniques do you use? What software do you use?

I only know the basics/fundamentals of both drawing and animation.

For drawing, I've carried out lessons about the Elements and principles of design, the history of graphics design, traditional drawing techniques, color theory, anatomy, character design, blah blah blah. Lots of info I still do my best to practice/put in my art. If y'all notice me animating gifs then it's bc I have time to do so... ( I'm in term break until late July ) They're likely short, but it's through animation blocking, timing, and incorporating both in-betweens and tweening.

I've used Adobe Animate/After Effects for school projects, sometimes for doodles only, I currently use Clip Studio Paint bc it's where I'm more comfy with ^^ Maybe someday I'll be able to afford Toon Boom hehe.

Bro... what if noe was never actually injured when he got scooped up by the teacher...

Like what if the traffickers tied up one of his eyes so he had little to no chance of manipulating the formula to escape or worst 😭

Like we know the weight eyes have on vampires, as seen by the churchs methods and ruthvens whole shtick; the traffickers could have harmed him to hamdicap him somewhat, but given he 1) hasnt lost his eye, and 2) the traffickers likely knew his value, its highly unlikely they would permanently disfigure/harm him

Interesting thought!

My one counterpoint to the theory of him not being injured at all is that we do see Noé keep the bandages on for a while after he first starts staying at Teacher's, and I can't think of a reason why Teacher wouldn't have removed them pretty quickly if Noé weren't hurt.

The panel with Domi and Louis is from pretty soon after Teacher brings Noé home, but the other scene shows Noé in a different outfit, and Teacher is back from wherever he disappeared to after dropping Noé off, so I think it must be set at least a day or two later. That's plenty of time for Noé to take off the bandages, so why not do so if he isn't hurt?

However, you do raise a really good point about how removing the use of one eye is an effective way to disable a vampire, since it interferes with their ability to manipulate the world formula. Not wanting to "damage the merchandise" aside, if the traffickers weren't otherwise prepared to wrangle a vampire child, temporarily injuring one of Noé's eyes could have been a pretty effective way to make sure he didn't make too much trouble while in their custody.

Based on present day Noé's seemingly functional eyesight, we know that, like you said, whatever happened to him probably didn't cause significant permanent damage. That wouldn't have been wise on the kidnappers' part, and even if Noé never talked about it, I feel like we would have seen evidence by now if he had damaged vision in one eye. But a temporary injury that the traffickers knew he'd heal from eventually? It's cruel, but it's not a bad idea.

Y'all I am so fucking tired.

Me: vents about being shit on by doctors and struggling with ND symptoms in public

People: UM!!! AKTUALLY THAT IS NOW HOW YOU TALK ABOUT AUTISM! YOU ARE USING THE WRONG WORDS!!! LIKE I AM SO SORRY ITS HARD FOR YOU BUT UR MAKING IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE WITH REALER DISORDERS :(((((

Me sitting here, not autistic and never once mentioning autism but with several other ND diagnoses that don't get taken seriously because US culture is a shit show and it doesn't exist if they've never heard of it, am never allowed to self advocate and constantly shut out of both NT and ND spaces for not fitting into the boxes people want, staring at the camera like I am on the office on the verge of tears.

Yes internet, people can 'go nonverbal', it is a real phrase for real symptoms and not just a term for someone permanently mute! No it is not 'just a meltdown' and calling an autistic person's symptoms 'just' anything is completely self defeating anyway, and so is saying I can't use the phrase nonverbal anymore because I have shown improvement in my conditions over the course of decades of hard work! I fucking HATE PEOPLE SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"God has never said you have to perform great deeds for your country and humanity to have lived well Where would that leave all the sick people in the world? Look at me, for instance, needing assistance all the time. You wouldn't say that we sick and bedridden of the world are 'useful'! But usefulness is not the point. Our lives are of great worth if we accept with good grace the situation Providence places us in and go on living lovingly....Our talents and handicaps may differ greatly, but we are all equal in this: each of us is born to manifest God's glory; to know, love and serve him here below and share in his eternal life after death...if you make the vital decision to live humbly and lovingly, you will live fruitful lives and be happy."

Hi! As someone who now kinda wants to check out Trigun because of the hype, do you recommend that I can start with Stampede? Or do I really need to watch the OG anime first to better understand/enjoy it? Thank you! 🙋🏻‍♀️

you can start with stampede! i'd say knowing the context of the original enhances the experience but isn't necessary to enjoy the show. I would consider stampede more viewer-friendly, especially for those of us who are used to modern storytelling conventions (the original suffers the consequences of general writing trends in anime at the time it was produced and of the fact that it was produced long before the manga was finished, so the story is somewhat disjointed and has a lot of filler which makes it REALLY hard to get into.) if you do end up liking stampede, however, I'd suggest trying out watching at least SOME of the original because it adds a lot of cool nuance and context to the story that stampede tells!

@soulsxng replied to your post “Wrenn & Alli: *happily basking in freedom so much...”:

Tahariel argues that they /are/ more free than they were before, at least. Are they actually? Who knows. He's gonna say that they are, though.

Hey, as long as all of them can use their magic as they please and they can go outside of the usual living premises? They're happy.

....

They....they can go outside, right...?

throwback to when I was at my intensive this year and the power went out because of a freak storm so to entertain us the teachers made us put on a talent show in the common room (NO dancing allowed) and I sang Jolene. I couldn't find a karaoke version in the key I liked so I just sang the whole thing a capella while keeping a beat on my leg and everybody freaked out and went crazy when I finished and I won an award. my boy Marcus kept coming up to me the following week to tell me how cool I was and ask me how much training I had and I was like uh sir I practice singing to myself in the car and that's it. anyway life changing experience low key

also now that I'm remembering it I won a recognition award at the showcase too that week for most versatile dancer so I might be a little bit cool. jury is still out on that one though

god made me socially anxious because I would be too powerful otherwise

[seilon]

sometimes I think about the fact that through the neuropsych evaluation I had when I was 14 i was deemed to have a working memory related possibly-genetic anomalous neurological issue based on how insanely and noticeably bad my immediate recall skills were/are. and i did not learn about this and had just assumed it was adhd related until literally last year at the age of 21. because it was never addressed ever

[professor-glasses]

My dream last night invented some weird steampunkish fantasytype crossover setting and I really don't remember much of it anymore except me and my sister had to go talk to some people and while we were trying to do that some other antagonistic group started approaching. And it was bad bc these guys had like weapons and stuff and there was just the 2 of us and I was worried :(

SO I first had to ask like. A bird? To go tell our buddies from elsewhere that we needed backup? Because it was while my sister was doing the talking bc she's better at talking to people than I am (accurate to real life). And I was hanging back so I saw these dudes first and I was like a shit crap I gotta keep them back somehow

My solution being go fuck it. One man army time go apeshit

It was an ask blog for a PMD-E account, then after I transitioned I became boob-a-chu in tandem then tumblr made it so if you don't log in a year the blog dies so I had a hyphen removing surgery and now here I am... I forget when I did this tho. Like you'll see my URL on older posts with the hyphens and it doesn't link to this one (I guess it doesn't update replies cuz you'll see "dead" accounts and then OP replies "how is this post getting shit" and oh OP changed their name and tumblr glitched)

***I do not mean how long have you owned the url. How long have you been using it? Quick stints with other urls don't count if you have mostly used this url. If you switch around a lot I mean THIS current url.
