I Was Looking At The Stars The Other Night, And Thinking About The Light Pollution In Big Cities, And

One of my FAVOURITE things about the Sonic movies is how much care and attention to detail the animators give towards the facial expressions of the CG characters, and this is by far my favourite example.

Just look at how Shadow's countenance changes when after Robotnik tells him what will happen to everyone if the station explodes. Look at how his serious demeanour instantly melts away and shows how he's overcome with distress, fear, and worry for the fate of his friends and humanity.

It makes this moment that much more special because it shows he's transformed as a character as he's regained the care and humanity he had for others which he once buried to cope with all the trauma and grief he endured for so long, and will now do anything it takes to save the people he was manipulated into believing was undeserving of existence.

THIS IS WHY YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL DETAILS PEOPLE!!!! BECAUSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A SMALL DETAIL CAN GO A LONG WAY IN ENRICHING YOUR CHARACTERS AND STORY!!!!!!

What if you have so many projects that some of them could very well never see the light of day again-

They're my children but I have too many and I can't keep up with them all h e l p

One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done.

Quality is...varying XD

These are all of Rose's first outfits/gis in the series, as well as the Pilot Episodes cover. Her outfits, in order, are her original civilian/casual outfit, her pajamas (jinbei), her first ninja gi (when she meets the boys), the Trainee gi, and the DX (Dragon eXtreme) gi.

Invalid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

They’re too evil! - Redemption has nothing to do with how good or evil you were to begin with.

They don’t deserve it! - Redemption is not something that can be “deserved.”

Their actions are unforgivable! - Redemption has nothing to do with forgiveness.

It’s too late for them to change! - It is only “too late” to choose redemption when a character is dead (unless the scope of the story includes an afterlife in which change is possible).

Valid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

It doesn’t fit the themes of the story.

They’re not an important enough character for showing the process of a redemption arc to be worthwhile.

They’re more interesting as a character who isn’t doing the right thing.

It’s more satisfying to let them keep being evil.

It makes it more satisfying when they die.

There’s probably more, but you get the idea.

Remember, redemption is when someone realizes they are wrong, and takes steps to doing the right thing. That is not something that can be “deserved,” it is not something that hinges on forgiveness, and it is not something that it is ever too late for! …Unless the person is dead or something.
