random note about king on that animation, i got really lucky with how simple his animation was and how clean my sketches were to begin with that i was able to do very minimal cleanup on what i had sketched (and add back. his horn. it's supposed to take place just after echoes of the past, Oops) and call it done that way instead of having to redraw the entire thing like i had to on his dad

first sketch > line cleanup > nearly final animation (i'd added slight eye movements last-second but otherwise that's the final)

#toh #the owl house #animation #gif #king clawthorne #the lineart slightly flickers on his one paw where i had to erase the tag and i thought it would bother me a lot more #but most people seem to use the internet on their phones - coupled with the darker palette and color of his fur #it basically completely hides it #based on feedback i don't think a lot of people realize i made that and it's not a gif from the show lmfao #BUT ITS STILL REALLY NICE THAT PEOPLE THINK IT IS!!!! I AM NOT AN ANIMATOR I AM JUST A HOBBYIST... #i animate like once a year... shits hard man.... but apparently when i do animate. its extremely good :) proud of that #even if i have an extremely unhinged way of animating #i don't have an animation program i draw everything individually frame by frame in photoshop #each character had their own psd file with the same background and every frame was its own group. twice. one for sketch one for colors #i do test takes with gifcam (there are literally 55 WIP gifs in my documents folder rn) by switching between layers and taking a 'frame' #and i compile in blender's video editor and to move things separately i save each character's frame in its own .png 'cel' #so luz was her own 'cel'. king was his own 'cel.' etc. and then i have to manually slide the lengths of the frames around #to match the right framerate. traditionally animation is animated at 24 FPS on 2's - so 12 frames a second. i go on 3s. 4 to slow down #anime-ass framerate. i'm insane apparently but its what i like to do #i dont understand real animation programs they have too many pieces but i DO understand photoshop and my funny brushes #imagine having Digital Programs and Still basically doing ye olde traditional animation method just in the computer #if im Just making a gif then i only use gifcam and switch between layers. like digital stop motion. somethings wrong with me

i’m sorry, if jessica died when she was 15, and she’s 6 years older than lockwood, and she died 6 years before he showed lucy and george her room at the end of the whispering skull, which takes place the june after the november of the screaming staircase, which is 6 months after lucy joins the agency, and george joined a year before her, that means that he was 15 when he showed them the room, 14 when lucy joins the agency, and 13!! when george does. he was either like 12 or 13 when he started the agency. i thought they were like 16 screaming staircase and 18 by the end of it this is so weird

#all this time i was like #the supervisors aren’t that much older than them #at least kipps isn’t #only like 4 years #just let them do what they want #they’re fine #NO #THEYRE NOT FINE #THEYRE LIKE 12 #NO WONDER EVERYONE THINKS THEY NEED A SUPERVISOR #ha imagine 20 year old kipps going like #“and these are my arch enemies” #“sir that’s a freshman” #sorry ik it’s london and they don’t use those terms #but from what i can tell they also don’t go to school so it doesn’t matter #wait nooooo it’s super senior netflix kipps #i hate it #ik they’re aged up and he’s aged down but still that’s funny to think about #ok but lockwoods and george’s voices probably cracked so much that first book #also the thinking cloth makes so much more sense with this informations #same with their food choices #lockwood and co #the screaming staircase #the whispering skull #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #george cubbins #george karim #quill kipps #lockwood and co netflix

Also I quit my job of what would in about a month or two have been 10 years, and perhaps now I will get to actually be a human being again.

#honestly? honestly? #last week i told the two (2) godawful egomaniac lab head Man In Academia bosses i quit and that we need to formalise it asap and i just #felt like a little feather about to float away on a breeze #maybe now i can do normal people things like eat and sleep and have a routine of some sort idk #i have been slowly losing it for at least 3-4 years now #i took a screenshot and last year i had no fewer than 14 fucking travel orders fulfilled #most of which consisted of like 12+ hour days on ships and docks #i'm just so tired man #not for reblogging obviously #i don't really wanna vent anymore or ponder them and the entire godforsaken institution but like #good riddance tbh #which is really really sad when you think about it! but here we are #it was just... no trace of future anywhere to be seen! entirely a Void!! #gonna post a beefy lesbian paladin real quick to push this post down lmao #but i felt like sharing because i know there's good and concerned people who follow me here and i both appreciate and miss you all #and lord knows some of you have been listening to me vent and whine for ages #am i going to miss some great people and the research community of my field? of course but also it was all just completely unsustainable

Willington Palace | Sage, SimDonia

??? on Soom: As long as changes are minor, we should have ample time to have everything ready by next week, Your Royal Highness.

instead of dangerous new year resolutions that capitalize off my insecurities or dwelling on any of the shit that happened today, im learning how to knit :) im awful at it, probably always will be because FUCK my hands are so shaky—and im having a blast in making the soppiest stitches known to man and that motion alone

[ID: twenty stitches of light pink yarn on a single metal knitting needle. END ID]

(^ guy who will go through all these before getting one (1) knit stitch on)

#metal needles probably arent the best but also im autistic and am sidney crosby levels of bad with change so. struggle now excel later >:3c #it is 12 though and i haven't slept in 2 days so im probably going to go to bed in a hour or two but in the meantime this is fun #for Christmas i got a cheap pack of needles and 4 balls of yarn (pink yellow blue black) & some dark curtains so that was nice at least :) #ransom note #not looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow. ended today in a procrastinated breakdown because im so tired and was overwhelmed #and my dad will be in until the 28th so. hunker down and push through #<- its kinda funny how i shit talk my dad more than my mother when shes arguably much worse but with her im more irritated and ignore #with him i have that 'this big man is pissing me off and being mean and gross at me so i need to fight him' instinct which plays into it #<- the rose wilson in me........

After the absolute carnage and chaos of Session 3 and 4, I desperately wanted to see a graph of everyone’s life left compared to each other, and this is the result of that. I will include close ups of each session below the cut, as well as screenshots of the full (colour-coded!!) data. Updates: Session 5, Session 6, Session 7, Session 8.

Note that I’m using the times that everyone should have based on their kills and deaths, and not what was actually shown (since I know Tango was accidentally given 1.5 hours for his boogey kill instead of just 1 hour, and Skizz hasn’t yet received his 30 minutes for killing Tango), so we’ll see if these times are rectified for Session 5, or if I will adjust my graph to show what is actually used.

Before I show the close ups, I just want to explain the colours used. I picked a base colour for each team and then used a different shade of that colour for each member of the team, to make it easier when looking at a mess of lines. TIES are red because Tango made the bowtie on the tower red (and also because of the red tie in Skizz’s skin, and also Tango’s skin is red). The Bad Boys are green because of all their crops (wheat and potatoes and carrots so far). The Nosy Neighbours are purple because of Watcher-related reasons. Mean Gills are teal because of the coral reef and the warm water colour (and also Scott’s hair). Clockers are orange because Minecraft clocks are gold, and orange is the closest colour to that. Below is a screenshot of all the colour choices I had, and I labeled each one with the player I picked for it

Now for the close ups of each session, with labelling for where each player is at at the end of each session. The grey squiggly downward line is simply the average of all the players’ times at that instant, and the green, yellow, and red horizontal lines mark out 24, 16, and 8 hours respectively. There are no markings for the number of hours, but each gridline is an additional hour, so you can count up and down from the colour-coded lines.

Session 1 close up

Session 2 close up

Session 3 close up

Session 4 close up

So as you can see... there’s less than three hours between the bottom nine people, and a much larger gap from them to the top five. And all three of Skizz’s teammates are amongst those with the most time, so I don’t think Skizz will be first out if TIES play their cards right.

Next I am going to show the data tables I used to generate the graphs! I colour coded them so you can easily see green lives vs yellow lives, and also how often some people switched between them (and you can also see the single second Scar technically turned green during Session 3 before dying, which is also the weird orange vertical line on the graph).

There’s a new row every ten minutes, and every death created two new rows, the first of which is the times a second before the death, and the second is after the death, in order to create the sudden vertical drop.

Deaths are marked with red borders around the box, and time being gained is marked with a green border. All times are in hours and only display to two decimal places, but were calculated down to the second (and the times in hours, minutes, and seconds can be seen at the very left.

Without further ado:

Session 1 data

Session 2 data

Session 3 data

Session 4 data

I find this is a super good visualiser of all the green and yellow switches during the session.

And to visualise the absolute chaos of a specific ten minute segment during Session 3... below shows how much space the chaotic ten minutes takes up in the data due to all the deaths... compared to the entire two hours before it (remembering each row is a new ten minutes or a new death... so for a single ten minute segment to take up almost as much space as two hours, really shows a lot)

Anyway, I had an absolute blast putting all this data together and I’ve spent so much time since the weekend just staring at all the pretty graphs and data. I hope this helps other people keep track of all the death and carnage and times and so on, like it helped me.

#limited life smp #traffic life smp #24lsmp #limlife #i cant remember what other tags people are using for limited life lmao hopefully that works #anyway i love numbers and data and i made this and then couldnt show any of my friends bc none of them had seen session 4 yet #and then i remembered tumblr exists as a place to show things ive made #since my friends werent available yet #anyway follow me for more nerdy maths things or whatever #anyway :D this graph makes me so happy #the only illegal kill that was awarded time was joel in session 2 #no one else has counted #except for tango's extra 30 minutes #which got me thinking bc like tango had 42 minutes left when skizz killed him #but he was supposed to only be on 12 minutes #and i cant help but wonder. if he was on the correct time (16:12:xx) would he have tried to hide for another 12 minutes and go down to #go down to yellow naturally? rather than brute force lose an hour? #because obviously tango didn't think he'd be able to run and escape for another 42 minutes #really makes you think #also i hope they gave skizz his bonus 30 minutes from killing tango when they recorded earlier today #anyway i should stop rambling in the tags so i can actually press post and you guys can see my cool graph haha #also its 11pm i need to go to sleep too probably #edit: my sister wants me to mention that she helped me pick the colours lmao #thanks sister i appreciate it #altho i think i made most decisions and you just agreed with them but whatever #my spreadsheets

What it felt like entering the new abyss after a year of suffering through dendro.

#MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IT'S MY TIME TO SHINE #i've been painfully trudging through the 3.x abyss every patch #with my extreme lack of dendro and its extreme favoritism for that exact element #i can't tell you the face i made when i went in today and saw the changed leyline disorders #THE REIGN OF DENDRO IS DENDROVER #i don't need to say that i got 9/9/9 stars with half the effort i'd put into last reset #floor 12 handed me my ass and 0 stars but i made it all the way down to 12-3 #got real humbled there but it's the deepest i've ever managed to go #maybe i can actually clear the abyss sometime in 4.x #anyway i let tartaglia and hu tao loose and they didn't disappoint one bit #go on my darlings my pride and joy. KILL. #genshin #ray's records

Victory Gym | Sage, SimDonia

Anne: Welcome, Your Royal Highness.

Gerhard: Thanks, Anne. How are you this fine Thursday morning?

Anne: I'm doing great, sir. Let’s get started, shall we? Right this way.

Anne: You, of course, can't miss the full size basketball court with spectator seats on your left. Plenty of space for press, as well.

Gerhard: Nice. And the flooring is SimBA approved?

Anne: Yes, we worked with them directly on the design of the court.

Gerhard: Great. This is perfect.

Anne: I'm glad to hear that, sir. Let’s head upstairs.

Gerhard: Alright, lead the way.

Anne: This is our training facility with state-of the-art equipment.

Gerhard: Wow, this is perfect for all the athletes and just SimDonians in general.

Anne: We'll have it set up for arrivals as requested.

Gerhard: Fantastic.

Anne: And of course, the indoor temper-controlled ice-skating rink.

Gerhard: This is incredible, Anne.

Anne: I was hoping we’d have more signage up by the time of your visit, but here's a glimpse of what’s to come.

Gerhard: The signage does look great. Can't wait to see more.

Anne: And here we have rock climbing. I know it's a little small for the event especially with these large machines. But, I figure that might actually be a good thing considering...

Gerhard: I see, less of a crowd. You know, I actually think it works. And the view more than makes up for the size.

Anne: Great, I was planning to show you the cafe which we will transform for the gala, but due to construction, we cannot. But, I've got the perfect finale for this tour.

Anne: Last but not least, the Simlympic-sized pool. Spectator seats and press area for the games.

Gerhard: Wow, this is massive. This is making me even more excited for the games.

Anne: So, what do you think, Your Royal Highness?

Gerhard: I think we're ready for the Victory Games.

#simdonia #chap 12 #victory games #yay!!! #the victory games are here #next week this event is going down! #who's ready? #look at gerhard getting a little storyline lol #it's been forever #sims of color #sims 4 story #sims 4 gameplay #ts4 #royal sims #royal simblr #sim: gerhard #the plan is 4 post per day get ready lolol

sleepy mr baby + other random misc images

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. Interesting formations in the bottom of a cocoa powder container #2. more pressed four leaf clovers for the year. found all in one day #3. The picture is so blurry it's hard to tell but it's a DOUBLE clover! I've found multiple 6 leaf clovers before but usuall #y they're connected much higher up where the leaves are and sort of look like one clover. Where this one was like... connected lower down a #the stem and so it literally just looks like two 3 leaf clovers merged together. #4. Love his silly sleepy stretch bapy face #5. An interesting new matching card game thing that I tried playing a while ago. Another into my ever growing giant collection of #games that I rarely have the chance to actually play with people lol.. Current favorites are Bethump'd With Words. Tapple. Lowdown-Go. #classic Boggle and Scrabble and such. This one I think is just called 'SET' ? #For any fellow ... boardgame lovers?? theyre not really boardgames.. But when I say 'card game lovers' then it sounds more like #I'm referring to people who like to play Cards - like rummy or king's corners or jacks up or etc. And I dont mean playing cards type #games. But then if i just say 'Game lovers' then that sounds like video games... hrmm... terminology.. ANYWAY #6. PIGEONS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.. spotted..!! clapping cheering sobbing at their beauty so on and so forth #7. back at it again..I know all of these images look the same because I get the same exact order every single time I go to zero dregrees lo #. but it IS all separate occasions. I allow myself to go one single time a year (pretty expensive like.. $12 for the garlic noodles I think #or even $15. And probably $7 for a drink. so it's a very rare treat). (Garlic noodles with beef. matcha bubble tea. coffee bubble tea. pina #colada smoothie thing (not alcoholic). strawberry cheesecake milkshake.). Funnily looks like I'm just reposting the same image though lol #8. Random picture from that other costume I did a while ago after I had taken the wig off and my hair was sitting funny #Like a pta mom manager side bang sort of look but also with clown makeup lol #9. SKY.. very pale blue and white... perfect.. #photo diary

The only downside of finally being able to be productive at work (a genuinely good thing considering how dead and slow most days can be here) is that it's cutting into my fic writing time. Which would be fine except for the fact that I've been on a groove and I'm afraid to lose the juice and hit a wall again.

#writing woes #for context: I'm doing an inventory project at work and until now we didnt have a scanner that worked #so I was typing barcodes in by hand and it was slow and awful and something very easy to get pulled away from #scanner came in today. it's great. the project will now go much faster #BUT I'm on a rare crest of actually having creative juice for writing a fanfic that decided to kick my Kingsley stuff to the curve (for now) #and take over my drive and its been great and I don't wanna lose it #I've gotten 4 chapters done and a 5th one in progress #of a roughly planned 12-13 chapters (give or take) #and I'm starting to struggle a little in this chapter and I don't wanna lose the groove dammit!! #but I get to actually DO SOMETHING at work for once! #its a very first world not actually a problem problem but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #(also just because I wanna tell somebody anything about this: #im working on something ive been calling 'Unhappy Families' #(or: one went up two went down) ) #and it's been fun.
