This Isn't My Best Work Because I Made This Edit Before The Show Came Out...all The Clips Are From The

A two year old fanart that completely slipped my mind, but now that I found it I’m surprised I still pretty much like it :’)

(UNFINISHED) TMNT animatic. Based on this fanfiction: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49557748/chapters/125077900

...which is absolutely incredible (and the series is still ongoing)

Song: 'evol' by Adrienne Lenker

I've never seen someone do an animatic on paper before, but I can't be bothered with digital. Also this fanfic is literally so good that it inspired me to plan all of this out immediately after I finished reading it.

Also, I didn't see any Tumblr attached to this authors page, but if any of you know it I'd be happy to tag them in the final product.

Hopefully I can make some good progress with my 3-day weekend, though there's still quite a few scenes i need to do :/ I don't even know how detailed I'm gonna make anything...I was debating adding pops of color (like for masks and stuff) but idk if I will.

Also my pencil is literally smudging SO MUCH and my pencil has an AWFUL eraser. It literally just smears it around.

If anybody has any animatic tips to make it look/feel/flow better, feel free to let me know!!

I love my fully grown boys ☺️🥰☺️

Might do a redraw for some of these panels :b

Blue flag does many subtle things remarkably well, but one of my favorite is that Taichi is a pretty average looking protagonist, but every once in a while the camera/POV switches to the perspective of someone who's in love with him and suddenly he's gorgeous. Nothing about him changes- he's drawn with the exact same features as always- but it's instantly obvious why they love him. We see him through their eyes instead of through Taichi's own, and he becomes the most beautiful person in the world and he doesn't even realize it.

Taichi looks up at Touma with doe eyes and food stuck to his face and suddenly he's heart achingly cute. He gives a full body laugh and it's so rare and genuine that Futaba/we through Futaba's eyes stare in lovestruck awe.

It's just. It's so subtle and deftly conveys so, so much without uttering a single word. But it also strengthens the fact that the camera POV is tied to the characters. So when Taichi/the default POV does the same to the others, every time it oogles Touma or makes Futaba glow, that's Taichi. That's his feelings, his love, his attraction that he doesn't even realize he's feeling yet. And you reach that final reveal in the final pages of the story and then you go back to the beginning and you the reader have the fanfic oh. moment. Because it's been there all along.

It feels like this every time I write a fic

Hello all, I'm currently working on a project discussing and debunking psuedo-archaeology, and I was wondering if anybody knew the origin of the video pictured at the bottom of this clip. I can't seem to find the exact lecture this is from, and it would be helpful. Also, if anybody has any scholarly articles debunking the chariot tracks found at the bottom of the Red Sea like he talks about in the video, that would be nice too (or any good scholarly articles talking about the subject of psuedo-arcgaeology and social media)

It's fascinating how many One Piece fans are bigots… I know that a lot of people watch things just for fun and don't bother to understand the essence of the story beyond the fights or "aura" moments. However, I am concerned about how far it can go. To call yourself a One Piece fan while being homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc. you have to ignore 95% of the story. One Piece is extremely in your face with its themes so for you to be any of these things, you have to skip every moment that explains the lore, every character arc aside from cool fighting sequences, and even then you have to ignore what each fighter represents and stands for. Or, as is the case with the vast majority of anime watchers, you'd have to be the dumbest of the dumbest to not get the message of the story because, I'll say it again, One Piece is very direct about it. At this point, the only thing missing is a character looking directly into the camera and spelling out "Government bad."

"Oh, but it's fiction, not reality!" That makes the matter even worse… Like are you really telling me that you can root for pixels on the screen to be free and have rights but you draw the line at real humans facing very real oppression? It's especially funny when it comes from YouTubers and TikTok who are supposed to be analyzing the series. I'm sorry, but I won't take you or your 15-minute yap session seriously if you don't hold the same views in reality. What can you as a transphobe and homophobe tell me about Bon Clay, revolutionaries, Yamato, and others? Why should I value your opinion about Arlong Park and Fisher Tiger if you simultaneously like the tweets of white supremacists and call Romani people thieves and throw slurs at them? How can I not laugh so hard that tears start running down my face when you are trying to sound eloquent and profound in criticizing the Navy and Celestial Dragons while also licking the government's booth in real life? These people would look into the camera with their fancy equipment and use the vocabulary Shakespeare used in his plays to try to explain what Shandia represents, only to post "I stand with I*rael" or say that Native Americans need to get over what happened to them. My friend, you are not the unbothered king who can separate fiction from reality, you are just dumb as a brick.
