I Don't Dance (high school musical 2 animatic)

Managed to finish this by the end of the week! :D

Because of school, I had to adapt to a rougher, quicker art style. That's why the backgrounds are practically nonexistent. Still, it was super fun to make!

I hate editing image sequences to a song's beat. It never comes out right. I've given up on that, lol.

Anyways hi HSM fandom, are you still alive?

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR (2008)

Premiered October 24th, 16 years ago.

Look, say what you want about Troy and Gabriella as a ship, but the scene after they sang kareoake together where they talk about their singing experiences and Troy makes Gabriella laugh and they both look everywhere but each other when the countdown starts but after looking at the fireworks, they can't help but share a deep glance as they clearly think about kissing each other even though they don't and they fumble with saying goodbye and Troy says that singing with her has been the best part of his vacation? That slaps so hard.

actually gotta go my own way is so. like a massive part of troy & gabriella’s relationship is built on that initial connection they had with other, where neither of them had anyone they had to be so they were just being themselves. and that vulnerability and genuineness is what they both really value about their relationship & it means so much to them. and gabriella sings ‘i’ve got to move on / and be WHO I AM’!!!!! she doesn’t feel that same connection with troy anymore. she feels like she has to hide parts of who she is whilst troy is also faking who he is!!!!!! and in bet on it troy sings ‘did you ever / LOSE YOURSELF to get what you want?’. hsm is integrally about being yourself & the genuine connection and joy that comes with being true to who you are. troy loses himself but gabriella serves as a reminder to who he really is

I hope sharpay Evans and her girlfriend are doing well all these years later and I hope sharpay is still as dramatic

“No but like listen, listen, dude, listen, just… listen…”

“You’re like, so drunk.”

“Listen.”

(Chad’s shirt says “no mom this isn’t beer”. It is. They are so drunk.)

Got me on the edge, they're pushing, pushing, they're pushing.

Highschool musical but there's just one very goth kid who sings all chorus parts in the songs and mimes reactions to all the other characters. Then goes back to zoning out.

Stick to the status quo, "Everybody Quiet!" *eyeroll, smh, pulls out their phone and leans against a wall... only to join right back in on 'NO! Nonono'*

EASTHIGH'S WIZTOBER 2024 EVENT + free choice [week 4]

pov you accidentally find out your best friend is a witch and also ✨the chosen one✨ but oh no it's not as fun as you think, it's actually really fucked up and he is overworked and exhausted and in danger and might die and now you're mixed up in it too so he has to make sure you're safe and draws magic sigils on your arms and you just wanna help buy you can't (unless..? did anyone say binding yourself foolishly in a pact for life?)

My pitch for a High School musical sequel

Sharpay's musical theater career never went anywhere, so now she lives vicariously through her daughter. She terrorizes the East High drama department because she demands her daughter get all the lead roles, and she comes in and micromanages everything, etc.

Sharpay Junior is our sympathetic main character who wants to escape from her mom's control. She likes musical theater, but she's beginning to think that, gasp, she might have other interests! (Shocking, I know).

Gabriella is the school's science teacher, and she serves as a kind of mentor for Little Sharpay, teaching her that it's okay to like music and still do other things.

Troy's the basketball coach, of course, continuing the family tradition of men who cling to their high school glory days.

Maybe Troy and Gabriella's son could be the romantic interest? Little Sharpay has a connection with him, but of course Sharpay doesn't want her daughter involved with the family that stole her lead roles out from under her, and she doesn't want this boy distracting her darling from her theatrical career.

Of course, the process of deciding not to be in the musical requires Little Sharpay to take part in several heartfelt and elaborately-choreographed school-wide musical numbers.

Everyone gives Troy Bolton shit for giving Gabriella a necklace with a T on it but no one talks about the fact that in the same shot it's shown that Gabriella has a photo of Troy in her locker and boops his nose. They're just matching each other's freak here

EASTHIGH'S WIZTOBER 2024 EVENT + companions and familiars [week 2]

high school musical his dark materials dæmon au

dæmons are a person's soul in the form of an animal companion. my selection process and some ramblings about this are below the cut

dæmons from philip pullman's trilogy his dark materials are a person's soul in the form of an animal companion. as a child, your dæmon can change but as you reach puberty, your dæmon will settle on a single form that suits your personality.

my selections are based on this quiz and then further reading in these analysis. obviously, this would be a lot of work to do thoroughly, so i didn't. but i did do a decent amount of research. for most of them i did the test twice or more with slightly different answers for some questions. some characters were easier than others. chad being a toucan? yeah! that made total sense!! absolutely!! troy?? ryan????? so difficult to narrow down, i guess they have some very conflicting personality traits that push in different directions.

a lot of these are birds. idk if that's coincidence or if that's the nature of the test. there's a master list with all possible results and a lot of the main categories are birds. there's some general discussion about the size of dæmons and if they have to be small to medium sized. clydesdale horses are HUGE. philip pullman, the author of his dark materials, is the kind of guys who won't give a definitive answer. i took the test several times for troy and i kept getting horse, so i guess troy is just a horse girl.

sharpay being a form of primate was very clear. chad and taylor also made a lot of sense when i got the results. i looked at some analyses and very quickly thought "YEP that's them alright". gabriella to some degree was easy. there were some traits for the grasshopper sparrow i had to convince myself of, but i found an angle for it to make sense. troy and ryan were more difficult.

troy has this duality of both being a leader and strong-willed and wanting to do his own thing while also being an anxious people pleaser. i feel like the horse makes sense. horses are hard-working and seen as majestic and strong but they're also pretty nervous creatures.

ryan is both a follower of his sister but also wanting to be his own person. he's both willing to play dirty but also just a pretty nice guy, you know? he's often left in the background. the goldcrest is super-duper small, but it's wearing a crown. it's king of the birds. it's kind of fitting actually.

for the names i just used this random dæmon name generator for inspiration.

these are just my thoughts and interpretations and dæmons are of course not an exact science. it's actually completely fictional and up for interpretation. if you have thoughts on this or take the test or find an analysis you think fits a character better, tell me!! i would love to talk about it!!
