People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

Howdy! Your work is a huge inspiration for me, and I think I finally want to take on a big animation idea that's been living in my head rent free for years. Do you have any advice for a total beginner who wants to dive straight into animation? Thanks so much, have a great year!

hey there!  I actually put together a playlist of animation/storyboarding resources on youtube that might be helpful here!  featuring suggestions of free/cheap programs, tutorials for those programs, and some basic info/exercises!  I especially recommend anything about the 12 Principles of Animation and Glen Keane Animates a Scene, those were pretty formative for me!

mindset-wise: play, have fun, forget about perfection!  deciding to do something you don’t know how to do is a great way to learn how to do it!

You know what fantasy stories don't use enough? Different measuring scales, and confusion caused by them. Because before the metric system, practically every place and culture had their own measures for weights, lengths and distances. It would be fun to add that into a story for added realistic cultural confusion.

The average dwarf is four or five feet tall, but not in human measures. Yeah they're still shorter than humans but the dwarf foot (and the namesake measure of length) is bigger in proportion to their body. "Is that in dwarf feet or human feet?" is a common question to hear on construction sites, wherever human carpenters and dwarf masons are working together.

A dedicated local Common Misconception Historian has a pet peeve about the whole "princess Featherblade was only 12 years old when she led the attack on Marshland Halls" -myth, because the historical recordings on the human side are off. While she was remarkably young, that myth came about back in the day when humans were still trying to apply "dog years" to elves, and in an elven life span, 120 years is not a direct equivalent to a 12-year-old human.

A whole culture whose smallest unit of weight loosely translates to "about as much as an apple", and varies from region to region depending on the size of local apples. These people are famed for their alchemists, whose uncanny ability to simply measure their ingredients by heart, making their recipes essentially impossible to replicate. This famed skill is a matter of survivor bias - the ones that don't have that knack ten to explode into fine mist.

imagine with me for a moment....

That after the events of SxSG with the development of his morphs, this in turn has effected the way that he uses his chaos energy and clashes with the regulation of his physical mutations. The removal of his inhibitor rings while unleashing the full potential of his chaos energy, as it usually does, it also unleashes the maximum flux of his morphs as well. and with these new aspects of his abilities clashing with each other it now requires him to relearn how to regulate his powers with this new and far more physical intensive aspect

Thus brings out some very interesting but inconvenient potential injuries of those mutations exceeding beyond the limitations of his own body

baby mbj

ok but...........NEW AU TIMES!!!!!!!!

AU where Deku's original quirk was the ability to see/talk to/interact with dead people. They found out because a few months after Izuku was diagnosed as being quirkless, the Midoriya and Bakugou households' were having lunch together only for him to greet the Dark-Skinned woman with sharp red eye's just like Auntie Mitzuki standing in the corner smiling at them, with tears slipping down her elderly face.

Not even 30 mins later of Izuku talking to one Jasmine Bakugou, Mitsuki is receiving a phone call and told her mother passed away almost an hour ago.

tears are shed, but the adults know the boy had not been lying for the simple fact he had never seen Mitsuki's mother a day in his life. She had just left not a week ago after her mother had fallen ill, and came back for the sole fact that she knew her mother wanted to be left alone.

this leads to years of Izuku and Katsuki growing up wanting to be the worlds best Detective/Hero duo the world has ever seen, but they never change the fact that Izuku is labled quirkless. this saves his life seeing as he learns the darkest secret he and his best friend will ever know. AU may spit out the best hero's.... but they also train the worlds worst villain's.

Que Dekusquad really being plugs from of the unknown class 1V and Shinso being apart of 1a... Izuku is in GenEd, and finds out after he sees a grape headed boy, and the child tells him he was killed apart of the first exercise from the villains class about 20 years ago, and he's stuck around until his murderers are caught..... Aizawa-Sensei, Midnight-Sensei, Present Mic-Sensei, and a man named Oboro.... or what they WERE known as X-Out, Enchantress, Ear-Splitter, and Thunder-Clap aka Kurogiri

Okay but is this just me?

Like, I wanna go to bars and pick up drunk people, but not to frick-frack? Like, I wanna head to this drunk person and be like “hey wanna come back to my place?”

Then just take them back in my car, and proceed to pamper them and be really nice? Like give them a massage and a good talk about how they’re doing, then send them off to bed in my spare room and make breakfast for them so when they go they can do it happy and satisfied??

Or talk to them about the dangers of just going home with random people and give them my number and be like, “if you need anyone, I’m here,” and then they can come to mine when they’re sad and read books and curl up on a beanbag or watch movies?? And there would be chocolate too?
