I watched Robots(2005) a lot as a kid so it's no wonder I grew up to be anti-capitalist

The movie's 18 years old so if you haven't seen it, go do so. Anyway, for context, the film takes place in a world where robots are the dominant species. When your body breaks down, you can buy spare parts to fix yourself, effectively becoming immortal(but that's not important). What's important is that their society originally didn't throw people away for breaking down(getting older). By the time our hero enters the picture, an evil CEO has stopped the production of spare parts to make upgrades. These upgrades are made from junk and scrapped robots, or robots who couldn't find spare parts and basically died or were dying. Upgrades completely replace your body, making you monochrome and uniform; they're also expensive. It's subtle but all the poor robots are colorful while the rich ones are usually shades of gray and black with some brown thrown in. The poor robots also come in various shapes and sizes, with some being less humanoid in design but still having personality. The main character (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is an inventor and by extension, a robo-doctor, giving out free healthcare until he realizes he needs to overhaul the system cuz he can't fix everybody in a reasonable amount of time.

TLDR: To summarize the anti-capitalist themes of the movie ROBOTS (2005), the Robot world is post-scarcity but scarcity was artificially created for money's sake. Our hero has to defeat an evil CEO so people can come before profits once again.

Also, the main character grew up watching a TV show that showed off new inventions and how they helped society (this inspires him to invent). By the time, he's an adult, no new inventions are being introduced cuz-- surprise!-- Capitalism doesn't inspire innovation, it stifles innovation cuz once it finds a money-making mine, it digs and digs until it runs out; then and only then does it care to look for innovation.

Okay okay last one for today

Steampunk bartender vibes? That's what I claimed at the time, anyway. Absolutely hated the corset, but some random kid kept coming up to me and staring at my face to see if the gears were real, and that was pretty funny.

The 1920 Westinghouse Gyro ceiling fan really gives off some cool steampunk vibes!

Was I going to add audio? Yep. Have I? Nope. Just let the sound of tv static fill your brain.

Anyways. This is kind of a test to see if I can make something that looks decent without After Effects. Or any compositing knowledge whatsoever.

I wish scripting was less of a pain so that I could really get into this story. I want to animate more of my boys

Charlastor Week - Day 2 - Heaven AU

Where Alastor is The First Man (Who Matters) and Charlie is his lieutenant. 😇🔪

Alastor lived the same life as a serial killer in the 1920/30s and again meets his untimely end from a bullet to the head. But the higher powers thought he was a real swell guy, taking it upon himself to exact justice on the wicked, so he goes to heaven.

Unable to satiate his bloodlust up there, he becomes envious of the violent, crowded realm of hell where sinners can kill each other over and over again with little consequence. He begins to spread propaganda about hell’s overpopulation and the threat of an uprising, and when heaven becomes desperate for a solution, he suggests starting the exterminations.

Charlie, the daughter of the High Seraphim Lucifer, still wants to help sinners. Alastor convinces her that the best way to help them is to exterminate them. Oblivion is a mercy compared to eternal suffering.

He starts scheming a way to use her to overthrow the angelic council and seize power for himself. Then WHOOPS he catches feelings. Everyone in heaven is all sunshine and rainbows but Charlie’s specific brand of sunshine and rainbows makes his heart go all doki doki. She’s initially wary of him and how he even got into heaven in the first place, but when she starts to see the genuine good inside him, she falls for him too.

What’s scarier than the guy who killed you finding you in hell to kill you again? Him letting his starry-eyed seraph girlfriend do it, who cheerfully whispers “you’re welcome” in your ear before your consciousness fades permanently into the void.
