I saw people sharing thier favorite animatics related to November 16th/cwilbur, so I'd join in!
SO, in no particular order-
youtube
WOLFY WILL BE APPEARING AGAIN AND AGAIN! WOLFY NEVER MISSES WOOOO! The lyrics are wonderful and i love the blind in one eye look, it's so cool! watching cwilbur spiral in limbo as they reassess everything matches really well with song!!!!
youtube
I LOVEEEEE knp!!!'s art style and the moments they add line up PERFECTLY! Every chorus going "i miss you" at a different point in cwilbur's life as the song follows him through his story!
youtube
this circulates in my brain about three times a week MINIMUM i know i keep saying but i won't ever stop screaming about the LYRICS FITTING THIS SO WELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!11!!!!!1 He didn't have it in himself to go with grace!! *points over and over again* And he can go anywhere he wants! ANYWHERE HE WANTS! Just Not Home! *curls up and sobs* and cphil!!!! "YOU HAD TO KILL ME BUT IT KILLED YOU JUST THE SAME ... YOU TURNED INTO YOUR WORST FEARS" MY LORD ROZU
youtube
i said Wolfy would be back and here it ISSSS!!! i ADORE explorations of cfundy's rocky relationship with cwilbur 'cause THAT'S HIS DAD *cries* and then switch to CPHIL and the CTOMMY, ommmmmgggg *holds gently* the family dynamics. yet it focuses on cfundy and i think we as a fandom neglect that part of the canon family or at least i can never get enoughhhhh
youtube
So this is ABOUT Revivedbur, and features a lot of flashbacks from the l'manberg eras as it changes alongside cwilbur. It's ctommy talking to cfoolish about cwilbur and i think about this conversation so often it's wonderful to see it in an animatic! it really highlights ctommy's philosophy and relationship with c!wilbur! ToKtopus
youtube
oh this one is so heavy but also so beautiful and i love it so much. This is where I adapted the headcanon into my brain that cwilbur had a l'manburg flag sewn on the inside of his jacket, over his heart, at all times. the silent monologue of ghostbur until the line at the end about everything around him being alive, except him.
youtube
sometimes i think wilbur and tommy listened to two bird right before starting the pogtopia arc and went "hey we should base our ENTIRE dynamic this arc on this" and then went live lol. I love this artsyle it's so cute and fits each character so well! I love the eyes in particular!
youtube
O to the Z to the Y to the MANDIUS wooo!!!! this changed MY brain chemistry and this changed the FANDOM's brain chemistry! if you are new here watch to change YOUR brain chemistry! and then go watch the rest of sad-ist they were one of the animators who popularized and showcased the lore of the dsmp arcs! Wilbur connects this poem to his character and it's so awesome seeing it read out and put to an animatic!
youtube
The mix of stream quotes with music is a SAD-ist staple and one of my favorite parts of their animations it just makes everything so hype! This just showcases the pogtopia arc up until right before the final battle so well! i love it every frame is a screenshot *chefs kiss*
youtube
And the odd-ball choice! Not cwilbur or ghostbur or l'manburg related, but instead it's that Oncelor song about the SCHLATT ADMINISTRATION! There is a eye strain warning in the title that gets cut off in the link, so I'm letting you know here! this is a really fun video and the colors are very saturated and fun! It has great humor and i laughed multiple times all while being very foreboding about what's going on in the Manberg era.
annnnndd there is a ten video limit so instead I'm going to link the last two:
knp!!!'s animatic "Not Your Fault" which is about cphil and his feelings after killing his son, going through the guilt and blame and all that good stuff. The chorus of "it was not your fault but mine, it was your heart on the line. i really fucked it up this time, didn't i, my dear?" just KILLS me every time!
The follow-up to SAD-ist's animatic above is "Dawn of 16th" and is amazing as always for balancing the music with the dialogue to create and wonderful narrative about that day!
AUs in most fandoms: "What if everyone swapped?" "What if everyone's morality was switched?" "What if these superpowered protagonists were normal people working in a coffee shop?"
AUs in the Bionicle fandom: "What if the main species swapped with the surprisingly in-depth evil crocodile people?" "What if various characters re-enacted the plots of superhero movie trailers?" "What if the superpowered protagonists of, like, two thirds of the story were teachers in a vaguely-Canadian school and still had their superpowers?"
When/if Jaller's team gets into their Mahri arc, are they going to be on the swim team? 😁
HGLDFGHLKJFSLKDG
I'm not gonna lie my immediate reaction was "wait are high school swim teams actually a thing" because in my area they exist as like. non-school stuff like at the sports center or whatever but not at actual schools. I've never been to a high school with a pool but presumably they do exist somewhere
I think when the Mahri stuff hits, honestly they just become even weirder. They were already weird as Toa go with the glowing eyes and the lightning thing but now they have, like, gills? Some of them have scales? Kongu's been trying to grow out his beard and for some reason it's got a weird chitinous texture? Jaller has made friends with a crab? Wait, aren't those invasive here?
Meanwhile Nokama "I Am Coping Just Fine With My Werebeast Past" Metru is losing her fucking mind
The KNPS Toa/Turaga Metru from @magicalgirlmascot's Kini Nui Public School fic
On the left is how they looked as Toa circa 2004, on the right are the Metru as Turaga in late 2024. In descending order: Vakama, Nokama, Onewa, Matau, Whenua, Nuju
The challenge with an AU like this is having to humanize the Great and Noble forms of the masks in a way that still looks like the same person 20 years apart. As well as being a modern AU with no facial markings, cybernetics or weird accessories to clearly mark who's who, so the characters have to inherently be a bit Just Some Guy looking at first glance. Anyway, there's a lot of little details that link to their canon masks and aspects of the story, so I'll be curious to see which ones people pick up on.

In my mind, I feel confined to these dizzying recollections...
I hold tight to this optimistic point of view, but life has a way of trying to destroy my vision every chance it gets...
Despite what I've experienced, I refuse to let how others have treated me change my outlook...
I will not allow their disdain to stain my perspective...
At times I feel I've been tested, but my ideals persist...
For I still believe every loss I've endured will instead help cure my aching heart, as no pain I've felt could ever be as great without a love as sweet at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum.
Bukan bener bener ITBnya tapi lebih ke sekolahku: karena di sekolahku kelas XII-nya angkatan pertama yang pake kurikulum merdeka (sekolahku termasuk sekolah penggerak, AKA dipakai ujicoba kurikulum baru), nggak ada dari jalur SNBP yang keterima di ITB. Yang finalis OSN nasional dan rangking 1 angkatan pun juga nggak lolos. Walaupun sekolahku dari dulu sampai 2023 sebenarnya banyak yang diterima di ITB. KATANYA sekolah penggerak lain juga mengalami hal yang sama dengan ITB. Baru baru ini, kayak jam 8 malam, di edarkan pesan permintaan maaf(??) terhadap sekolah penggerak dan akhirnya kelas XII pada di terima di ITB. Kayak. ??????. What. Ga jelas ☠️
Spambots are continuing to struggle, I see. You'd think whoever runs these things woulda noticed at some point that their data pool of normal things people say seems to have been contaminated. Or has mutated.
you look up one piddly video on youtube about skincare and next thing you know you're being recommended videos about uhhh. how to bag an engagement ring and the biological "masculine need to go and solve the problem alone"
Setting KNPS nebulously in Canada (but specifically replacing my region of Ontario with MU landmarks) is very funny because I've been vaguely thinking about what 2009 looks like here and as far as I can tell I have two options for Bara Magna:
Set it in the actual desert region of Canada and just replace Drumheller, Alberta with Bara Magna
