bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
people be participating in fandom and then complaining about the fandom being a fandom. my brother in christ you can leave
I hate it when people ask me what genre of music i listen to because i genuinely have no clue. It's called Music I Like genre. The best genre out there
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
AUGH. Thinking endlessly of how i'd love to adapt the entirety of the magnus archives into animatic for my own practice and aesthetics
Its majorly monochrome- in s1 the scenes outside of the statements would be grey, but so so slowly shifting to green episode by episode, and by the time s5 hits its nearly logo green. The statements start in the same colors as the 'real' world, and shift to more vibrant/dramatic colors as they hit their peak horror.
Maybe even thinking the fears have their own secret color wheel, and the statements slide into colors associated with the dread power(s) they seem aligned with, but that seems a bit much
Theres two playlists: 'The Magnus Archives animatics' and 'dont worry about it'. The first playlist only goes up to when notsasha is revealed to the cast. The second playlist animatics have a different design for sasha but everything is exactly the same. After the reveal all future playlist links go to the second playlist
The ritual events are more animated the closer to succeeding (or rather, 'succeeding') they get, and maybe more detailed colors or shading. For the watchers crown, john wakes up to partial animation (at least more frames than the rest has been) and full color for the rest of the apocalypse. The area in and around upton house goes back to monochrome but keeps the animation quality
Itd be fun to have a running bit that at the height of each story, theres a frame of the statement givers eye reflecting whatever horrors theyre peeping, but i can imagine that getting old. Maybe it could just be for live statements
I so so so badly wanted john to take the place of the statement givers on occasion while in the apocalypse, just for a choice few sentences once or twice per statement. He more or less keeps a neutral expression, or at least not one of fear, and keeps the outfit of whoever he's seeing out of. Theres so many good points that would look so cool with this. Imagine john telling off younger 'elias' in the memory of his office during rosie's statement. If nothing else i wanna do this bit at Some point
Had the thought that the end of 200 could rip apart into some kind of traditional animation style but that feels too. I dunno. Obvious? Overdone?
Certain i had more but thats all i remember at the moment. Hey would it be fucked up in a cool way if john, while taking the place of one of the kids in the dark domain statement, showed as whatever his kid self from his mr spider statement looked like
ccpw ):

no work done no rest gained. literally no point of this at all
fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho
