Normally I Don't Post These Milestone Things But HOLY SHIT GUYS THATS CRAZY!!!!

Grillby, noo...

In this picture, she's showing them how to say "asshole". Papyrus is trying to copy her (success rate... not looking good) and Sans is just watching and learning. Ah yes, such good influences the skeleton brothers have...

This is Grillby IV as she appears in BTA: a teenager. She is sixteen. Technically, this is not her first job, since she helps her dad (Grillby III... It's easier to keep naming heirs "Grillby" than changing the name of the restaurant) at the restaurant. But this is the first one she's being paid for!

All of the Grillbys are proficient in sign language, since fire can't talk. Don't think too hard about that, the Grillbys aren't much more than a bit XD

"Frisk. You cannot escape my narrative."

Hey -Frisk, is it?- you seem a bit tied up at the moment, but we've never seen you before on this blog! That fellow behind you seems to have been seeing you for quite a long time, though.

I made this digital painting inspired by traditional Chinese paintings. Some day it will make sense why. Today is not that day.

I made house maps for Siqua, Alphys, and Gaster since I keep having trouble with continuity :)

Gaster's house map is a bit of a mess since its two stories and I wanted to show what it looks like from the side...

Sans and Papyrus have to share a bed. Maybe that's me projecting from when I had to share a bed with my sibling as a kid. You'll never know!

I really enjoy interior design and all that, so this was very fun. There was also an extra challenge of piecing together the parts of the houses that I've already put in the comic.

Episodes in Gaster's house: Commencing Telephone Call!, Trick-or-Treating, Strange Tradition, A Red Pen and a Dumb Book, Annoying Kid!

Episodes in Siqua's house: Quality Time, Picnic Party, HAPPY EASTER, MOM!!

Episodes in Alphys's house: Dress to Impress, Long Journey

(A lot of these^ are not really accurate anymore due to these new maps lol)

Before the Anger is generally intended for a mature audience.

Before the Anger- episode 40, "Student Party? (pt. 2)"

Cliff hanger! And, spoiler, the cliffhanger won't be resolved next episode because there's a Holidays special... But, after that, it'll be back!

This is episode 40! That means theres only 10 episodes until we are caught up with the WEBTOON. Once we are caught up, I will be posting them at the same time: every Thursday normally around 12pm but things happen lol. It'll be sad to say goodbye to daily-ish posting, but oh well! It may give me more time to make official art of this story, which tends to do better on tumblr.

No side story today, since we finished that last one. The next side story will start on episode 42. I'm very excited for it, and you should be too :)

New animation just dropped!

I wanted to practice lip syncing, so I took a short bit of a song I'm working on and made a little animation! Its very sketchy and unfinished, but "clean" wasn't my goal anyway. This was actually a very helpful practice!

If you know anything about my music (for the majority of you, probably not lol) you might recognise this tune. I like to reuse bits of my music in other songs as a call-back, at least when its in a series or album. In this case, this is Sans's song, but I used some of Nimiee's theme "No Exception" because these two interact a lot in this song. (I'm currently in the process of making theme songs for all of the characters in Before the Anger)

This is nowhere near the final version of the song, by the way! I'm just a very slow composer.

Notes below cut :)

Im still new to animation and, despite producing music for almost 2 years now, have yet to make something that sounds professional lol. I am a trained soprano 1 with a naturally alto-ish range, but I tend to make songs with a higher range. Therefore, this tenor range song is quite a challenge 😅

In this animation, some of the original lyrics change meaning. Near the end of Nimiee's verse, the lyrics change to red, and instead of Toriel being the one to help, it is Asriel. Of course, Sans is his normal pessimistic self. But, instead of calling Nimiee a stupid child- like he usually does- the scene changes to show a mirror. Tsk tsk. Are we projecting, Sans?

Most of the themes so far have two versions; a casual, lighthearted one; and a heavy, sad one. However, I don't think I will be giving Sans a lighthearted version of his song. What will I be doing with these themes? Possibly... a comic dub...?

Before the Anger- episode 61, "What is a God? (pt. 2)"

A new room for the first time in a while! This is the Garden. It isn't really shown off in this episode because its not the main focus, but there will be more detailed scenes in this room later.

How do we feel about how Asgore handled that situation? Was he too dismissive, or just trying to calm her down? Or something else? Its your opinion to make :)

((Asriel prepared himself for the question- something he’s wanted to ask for years, but every time he’d start, Toriel would flash him the look. The look that told him what he was about to say was rude or dangerous or could set Chara off. But Toriel isn’t around, and by now, he and Chara have known each other so long that, in his mind, it was time for his questions to be answered.))

What does "set Chara off" mean?

Before the Anger, episode 6- "Wait, Chara!?"

Note- First mention of Chara! Her story will unfold over time..

Also, pay attention to the backgrounds. The different textures represent different rooms, which doesn't matter much right now, but later some rooms will have significance. The room they are currently in is called "the lab".
