N0-thoughts-just-angst - NOT ENOUGH PINK

by storyboard supervisor Erik Fountain

A few years ago, Erik put together these updated AT storyboard guidelines for new board artists and revisionists.

I’m normal about them I swear.

I'M NEVER GONNA SEE THAT SKELETON AGAIN

Gwenvid Week - Day 3

Singing

Inspired by @zippybot’s post.

“Smile, goddammit — I’m fine. I- … I’m … fine.”

Gwen was no stranger to overhearing David’s smile exercises in the morning. She’d mostly just tuned it out, and he’d finally given up on trying to get her to join him in “starting the day with a positive attitude!”

The choked wet gasp of breath, the quiet muttered, “Pull yourself together, for pete’s sake” — those were new. And troubling. Gwen immediately redirected her path, ducking into their shared bathroom as quietly as possible.

He was hunched over the bathroom sink, one hand braced against the cheap oxidizing metal edge of the basin and the other covering his eyes. His shoulders were shaking. Everything was shaking. The sniffling half-strangled whimpers were louder in here, punctuated by murmured berations that were wobbly and filled with loathing and so completely not David.

“Stupid, stupid — !”

“David?” He jerked upright, swiping at his face with his sleeve and giving her a trembling smile that was about as convincing as their half-assed Science Camp. For a second they just looked at each other, him trying valiantly to look like he wasn’t having a breakdown in the middle of the bathroom and her trying to figure out what the fuck to do about it. Finally she just held out her arms with an awkward half-smile. “Want a hug?”

There was a split second of indecision on his face, where she could see his love of hugs warring with the fact that he knew she didn’t like them. But hell, she was offering … He was across the room in two long-legged steps, crushing her to his chest and burying his face in her hair with a sob. His grip was suffocating, as usual, but for once it didn’t feel like he was trying to break her in half to suffuse joy into her like osmosis.

This time, she felt like the only thing keeping David standing.

i am normal and calm and definitely not crying right now

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

what does it mean to be barbie?
