So I’ve Actually Started Making The Tma Animatic Lol. Whether It’ll Ever See The Light Of Day Is

hell yeah

you tell em

Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

holy shit the death with dignity demo is just

ugh it’s beautiful

I’m so GODDAMNED FRUSTRATED at the state of Irish poetry.

I’m not talking about poems in English by Irish poets, I’m talking about poems in Irish by Irish poets! Especially ones you learn in Junior Cycle Irish. Stuff like ‘Stadeolaiocht’ and others. Want to know the premise of Stadeolaiocht???

a man is waiting at the bus stop

he goes to check the bus app on his phone to see when the bus will arrive

as he’s looking up, the bus is driving past him, bus driver staring him down.

that’s it. That’s the poem. The poem they want us to write a couple of paragraphs explaining the themes of. This is what we have to work with. Another one: Jeaic ar Scoil (Jack in School). This poem entails a mother whose son, Jeaic, is walking to the bus stop for his first day of school in junior infants (4-5 year olds). This poem supposedly signifies a mother’s love and a child growing up. While this is true, it’s all fine until you see what we’re studying in common level English.

In English we are learning and studying poems such as After The Titanic by Derek Mahon, a poem which details the degrading mental state of the manager of the White Star line, Bruce Ismay, after he got away from the sinking titanic and how he felt that he died that night with the sunken. This is a beautiful and complex poem MADE BY AN IRISH POET!!!

Ireland is known for our incredible poets and beautiful language! What I don’t understand is why poems as gaeilge do not have the same emotion and meaning as the poems in english! Could it be that the Department of Education is so desperate for Irish poetry that they will take any of the poetry as gaeilge that they can get! 

PROBABLY!

THIS WILL BE THE SUBJECT FOR MY CBA2 IN ENGLISH THANK YOU.

rant over return to sane tumblr

Ah yes, my dads weird orange ukulele, tabs open to learn euthanasia on ukulele and myself, an individual who has previously never expressed any interest in even picking up an instrument of this calibre, attempting to learn will wood songs because my life lacks meaning :3

STORYBOARD/ANIMATIC TIPS

ko-fi✏️

I made these for my friends, but I thought that might be helpful for yall as well! hehe! Now whenever someone asks for storyboard tips I can throw this at them!

Examples of storyboards I made for fun:

Words cannot describe the pure excitement that I am experiencing for the demos. The Mystery of Love demo is beyond beautiful, it’s divine. I relate to Mystery of Love because I too, think that white noise is an awful sound.

Argh I can’t wait!!

this is how Nora’s mam taught her to fly :3

Gimme that baby and I’d yeet it off a tower >:3

the year is 2025

scientists are still scrambling to figure out what “zigazig ahh” is so that they can give the spice girls what they really really want

the spice girls are getting impatient

war is upon us

once I met Ross Stewart in his art gallery in Thomastown and got free prints from him (failed ones) but I didn’t realise it was him until we were well gone and my mam mentioned it

also, if it’s not too much hassle, I’d appreciate it if you could maybe reblog this so I can get a larger sample of results:3

I want to design the front of my sketchbook with some tma themed designs so I thought I’d do two different ones for each design
