Some random observations/thoughts/opinions while I'm vacationing in Japan. In no particular order, with no particular value

There's more green on regular streets than I was expecting. It's nice.

It's really hard to find deodorant

I like the shape and depth of japanese bathtubs but it's a little hard to get out of

Wish I had so many options for tasty cheap snacks at home

On the other hand, so much single sue plastic

You really are being advertised to all the time. I can't read most of it so it's just blinking colourful lights to me but whoof.

Some billboards make sound? ???

Some metro lines have anime boy mascots

Stamps. Stamps for temples, stamps for train stations, stamps for government buildings. Gotta collect them all

More to be added maybe as I think of things...

Mickey Mouse Cruisehouse!🚢

The main cast lives in Mickey’s luxurious cruise ship and he takes his guests and customers all over the world.

This could be a TV series as it’s a comic series for now It is a mix of reminiscencts of Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Funhouse and the House of Mouse, all in a new setting.

It is a directionless AU so you guys can go crazy with this lovely au.

Design clothes for them, give them jobs on this ship, 🚢 make scenarios where things happen, draw relationships or the line between that, Even epic fights and villains on this ship!. Headcannons, anything!

There’s one thing you need to know about this au: Mickey has this cruise ship because his family had this ship for generations and accumulated their wealth from servicing the ship to customers and people who what to board this ship for their reasons. I think it was a certain amount of generations, no less than 7. It’s also a historical boat so it’s maintained by the boat enthusiasts and rich people and others.

You are entwined in battle. Just the two of you, atop the roofs of an empty city, in a quiet world. You are winning. Moonlight catches your blade, a prayer inscribed in steel. You are exhausted, and yet, you know he is too, and knowing it will soon be over brings a lightness to your steps. His dark figure is the last thing in the world. You see your chance, and strike. He tries to dodge, but too late, and you feel your blade pierce through cloth, and then flesh.

There is a moment, when you both struggle to believe it, perhaps, and then you say the words. Oh how long have you waited to say them. A light bursts from you, from your blade, all consuming, brilliant light. Does he scream? Maybe for a moment, but you are not sure. But you do know that he steps forward. Into your blade, towards you. You feel it through the hilt and in your hand, the awful tension of moving flesh. And another step. You cannot move, blinded. Another small step, almost like a fall. He rests a hand on your shoulder. You don't see his face, but you remember it well enough, with its dark, impenetrable eyes. He reaches a hand out towards you, and you don't see it, and don't pull away. He rests it on your cheek, softly, and shattering pain tears through your body, your mind, every thread of your being, every atom split cleanly in half with hot, blinding agony. And you both fall, intertwined. And when you land, there is nothing left. The sun rises, bleak, on a world that is finally forever silent.

[tungledotedu]

uh why the fuck would you say this

this post has 3000 notes and they get worse.

el-shab-hussein has already explained why he no longer shares how he vets individual fundraisers. scammers will use the information to be less obvious, making it more difficult to spot them.

and senatortedcruz's post has no actual proof of a widespread scam. that is a serious accusation to make, yet people are reblogging it and accepting it as true with no evidence. i won't deny that there are individual grifters on tumblr, but there are accounts like @/neechees, kyra45 and anonthescambuster that will help you avoid them. hussein even has a #scam alert tag for this purpose.

it's racist to spread misinformation about a supposed large-scale deception posing as fundraisers, not to mention dangerous because this makes it less likely for gazans to get what they need to survive and escape relentless airstrikes. we've already seen the consequences of this bias. some of these people are all too happy to be cops and harass or report gazans thinking they're bots or 'spamming' inboxes.

almost nobody on that post is encouraging others to donate to organisations or other vetted lists like those by operation olive branch, which has a faq sheet that explains how they verify fundraisers. i suspect this is an attempt to discourage people from helping palestinians altogether.

gazans are making fundraisers because they have no other choice. many of them cannot work and earn money as their workplaces have been destroyed. some have been disabled by injuries thanks to the iof's targeting of civilians. the fault is on israel for besieging them and on the egyptian government for exploiting their need to evacuate.

they're doing this for the same reason they have been posting photographs and videos of genocide so that people will pay attention to their suffering, so the world will not forget. is it such a leap in logic to understand they will also use social media to start fundraisers? do you just expect them to sit there and die in silence? so you can ignore them and your countries can keep arming israel as it commits atrocities?

Chatting with mom on the phone

Mom: Don't do any lipsync on your next animatic. Its not an animation.

Me: Don't worry.

[butchlinkle]

How I Animate

The Technique:

I draw the frames and then I use the liquify tool to push the lines into the next frame and redraw them where I need to. This allows me to keep the lines consistent, but gives me the control of frame by frame animation bc I am still making each frame manually! I also use 3d models as reference to help me with the angles! Super important to use reference while you animate (and with art in general), if youre no good handling 3d models then act it out and record yourself!

The Theory:

i think most people are at least loosely familiar with the 12 principles of animation (if youre not, heres a 2.5 minute video showcasing them!), but may not necessarily know how to employ them. the main 3 i tend to focus on when I animate is rhythm, telegraphing, and inertia so ill cover those there 👍

1. Timing & Rhythm

Timing is how you space out your frames both in how long an individual frame is held for, and also when you drawn an inbetween of two frames you can favour one frame slightly more than the other instead of drawing the exact average of the cels, giving the favoured cel more timing weight.

Left line has the cels evenly spaced out on the timeline, right holds the first cel for longer and the second cel slightly favours the last frame. It creates a more interesting rhythm to the animation! Rhythm is how I think of animation timing. Theres a beat like a song to every animation I make, and creating an interesting beat is what makes an animation fun to watch (for me, anyway):

2. Anticipation / Telegraphing

Before I animate a big change in movement, I like to telegraph that its coming. Usually this is doing a little counter movement in the opposite direction, but thats not the only way to telegraph a motion, e.g. eye movement can telegraph a head turn!

3. Follow-through / Overshoot / Inertia

Unless the movement is mechanical, it wont come to a hard stop and will have some level of bounce or easing out to it. How much "bounce" you add will have a big impact on how the animation feels, but a very subtle bounce will add a natural feeling to the end of a motion.

Secondary animations will use a lot of this, note that the head and the hand have a small amount of continuous motion (primary animation), and then the hair has a lot of bounce and inertia (secondary animation which reacts to the primary animation). Note the different amounts applied to the braid vs the sideburn vs the bangs

anyway! I hope this was insightful ❤️ if you like my art you can commission me by the by :)
