(Soulmates can be interperted as both platonic or romantic, so its up to you)

Am I late to this trend? Yes. Did I reuse an old frame? Yes. Also, this post is not an excuse for Kalim hate. It’s just so interesting to me how Kalim never realized how much he hurt Jamil. Its also interesting how the roles can be just as easily switched, with Jamil being the one hurting Kalim. It was difficult to choose who would take which role in this animatic, but I eventually decided on this, since Kalim burns away at Jamil, he keeps him away from what Jamil himself wants. In the end Jamil is just a commodity for Kalim, an accessory. Now of course Kalim doesn’t see Jamil that way, but Jamil does feel that way, and he hates it. Jamil has to be perfect for Kalim, but he can’t be better than him. Kalim burns away at him and uses him as a fuel. Jamil has to fix Kalim’s many mistakes. He can’t fly away, because he’s stuck with Kalim.

I love the Scarabia duo so much, and they have so much to think about and so much depth and complexity. Every day I worry that I misunderstood something or mischaracterize them, which makes me very anxious, but I always at least try to make my observations and animatics as accurate as possible, and when I do get something wrong I like to see it as a learning moment!

I was today years old when I learned that Kalim's headband thingy does not, in fact, tie into a bow

Random compilation of that scattered clothes meme thing I did with twst characters, but with just the outfits I kinda liked from both attempts. And yes, I don’t have any sense whatsoever 😉 Rip to the ones that were originally too small so now their resolution suffers horribly lmao that’s my bad 🤡 480p ahh art

I'm imagining something like this

[soup-du-silence]

I know he's just trying to get Kalim to shut up so Jamil doesn't find out and try to pull him from the tournament but what does this mean. what did he mean by that.

Money - Cabaret | Kalim Al-Asim animatic ☀️🐍

———

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with Cabaret for a while, and to see it go viral is a delight! So naturally I wanted to pay tribute to a musical I love dearly by animatic Scarabia over it. Once again I tried to change the meaning of the song a little, interpreting it differently so it can apply to Kalim! I love unique takes on songs or art in general like that. This specifically is about how Kalim has money, and how he “bought” his relationship with Jamil (even if he didn’t do it consciously), and how when Jamil betrayed him Kalim was left all alone. All that money and for what? He’s just a rich boy, with no one.

The first part of the animatic shows how Kalim happens to be rich and can “pay” for his friendship with Jamil, since he’s his servant. How Kalim feels alone because everyone betrays him, but it’s okay since he has Jamil, the companion, the “maid”.

Then we see how when Jamil leaves Kalim, he’s lost. He cries out for despair, and though the song tells him to just go recover on a new 14-karat yacht, it’s not that easy for Kalim. :(
