I Don't Know If Anyone Will Even See This But I'm Currently Writing A Short Story And Need To Pick A

Mob Psycho 100

So, I watched the last episode of Mob Psycho 100 today and first thing I have to say, I cried. I feel like it all just went by so fast and now that it's over, I don't know what to do with what I'm feeling right now. I might watch it again some time. I'm gonna miss those wonderful characters. Especially Reigen and Shigeo.

Await inspiration like a Samurai awaits a Rōnin, it may strike at any time.

Eren Yeager

I can't explain why but this genuinely brought tears to my eyes.

Every. Single. Damn. Time. 🥲

I'm Jim. For proof, I have the fact that I was literally writing out a scene on my phone while we were moving. Like all our stuff was being carried and loaded onto a lorry and I was leaving my childhood home, and all the while you could catch me punching a silly little fanfiction scene on my ringer

I Died For You [A Malevolent Animatic]

Voice acting and audio by @malevolentcast , who very generously sent me this audio file to use for this animatic. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show.

Background and details under cut

I began this animatic early last year after finding the audio on TikTok. Once I heard it, I was immediately struck with the thought of how those first couple of weeks in the Dark World would be for John immediately after Season 2. It seemed perfectly fitting, how John might be tortured by his guilt and uncertainty if Arthur was even still alive, and that torment would only aid his regression to his more… Kingly qualities.

I began to draft the thumbnails of the animatic in my sketchbook before transferring it to my digital workspace, which was incredibly intimidating at the time. This was my first independent animatic. In last year’s InvictusCon, Harlan popped into my stream as I was explaining my animatic thought process to my viewers, shaking with both excitement and terror. I was stunned when he offered to voice it himself. The next day, he sent me the audio file. To this day, I am still stunned he spent so much time and effort to create something. It was the encouragement I needed to finish a longer-form animatic. It may be only a minute and some change, but this is a whole year of my life condensed - my obsession, my adoration, my passion for not only this podcast but for art in general, both visual and audio.

It’s by happy accident that I finished this right at the cusp of the Season 5 finale. It almost perfectly slots in. So… let’s all pretend that this animatic took me a month to do rather than the year I spent sweating on my couch and complaining about the number of times I forgot Arthur’s wooden finger.
