I have finally made. Exactly one (1) Ni No Kuni OC

Her name is Ariel and she's an acrobat in the Circus of Bremen, a traveling circus run by a group of reformed pirates. Most of her act consists of aerialist ropes and sword duels. She's the most socialable of the group, and actually wants to leave the circus to pursue her own dreams of exploring the world.

So you’re long term single. I’m long term single, too. But do you want a Hollywood leading man career? Do you play games, including pretending to be with your co-star for years, to get your dream career? Do you have a heavyweight PR person to plan your pap walk and PDA for public consumption? Well, I don’t.

You know Anon, I wrote already a long answer, but just removed it all as I wasn't even half way of what I perhaps would like to express in my answer to you. I deleted it, since, what's the point, how many words do I need to write. You're gonna see things just like you want, from your point of view, from your own experiences, and your cultural background, or whatever ingredients you can think of that makes you form your opinion. And I'm doing exactly the same.

I know your message derives from yesterdays discussion about the 'gay theory' (for lack of a better description). I left some comments on there, as I was triggered by how 'the lack of a gf/lover' was 'interesting'.

It's the biased presumptions, the part you show as well in your message to me, by implying he plays games, pretended to be with his co-star for years to get his dream career. The heavyweight PR person planning pap walks. I don't share that view particularly.

I know, in the same thread I got told, I'm a 'late comer' [to the fandom]. I'm not quite sure how that makes my perception of things less worthy, or was it to belittle me or my view or opinion? I don't know. Actually, I was in the process to write another comment and then just thought, oh why, what's the point here. I didn't sent it. I just read how some of the posters claimed they're not there to prove anything, and people can have their own opinions, yet they were quite engaged in the whole thread referring to all kind of 'proof' that imho is based on pure confirmation bias. There, I used that term once again. Anyway, I could do the same, and what would it matter, what do we all achieve? A lot of time wasted on a subject that nobody ever will have factual proof for, and even if there was, it would be denied and 'explained' by the ones whom's narrative it doesn't fit.

It's quite easy Anon, I showed and wrote about it a number of times, to just put a narrative based on confirmation bias out there and make it cannon in this fandom. One word, one sentence can go a long way. That's for what I write, but that's also for his actions and words (or for that matter, his co-stars as well). How a bar of Irish soap can lead to many receipts, explanations, accusations, all depending on what fraction of the fandom explains it. If you come to think of it, it is quite hilarious and ridiculous at the same time, and maybe even a bit sad.

Same with the 'PR planned pap walks'. Yes, he does get 'papped' where that word to me means, he get photographed by paparazzi. You know, the name they call photographers that make their living to get pictures of celebs and get paid for it by magazines or online stock images distributors. It's a job. Thing is, each fraction in this fandom has their own view and explanation for it. One part says, he needs to be seen with a woman to sell his [insert whatever to sell or promote here]. Another part says, it's to hide his real marriage with CB. Yet another part knows she's a beard and in fact lesbian.... Need I go on? Yes, I go on with the biggest majority of the fandom, the ones that see a nice pic of him, discuss the shirt or the color of socks.... They're totally oblivious of all the narratives and they don't even follow whom he's with. And they're not interested in that at all. They sometimes get a bit overboard when he posts a pic with a certain beer brand. So, for who exactly are these so called 'pap walks' planned? Are they planned? I don't know, and frankly I don't care because what does it prove? Does it prove he's gay? Does it prove he's married to his co-star? Does it prove he's a womanizer? It gets him some attention and that's it 🤷‍♀️

Then there is this other thing, the 'being single part' in your message. If you are a long term single, you most likely had your own share of gossip around you as a person. Cause that's what happens. It's amazing, but actually also sad, how people still can't let go the medieval part that being in a steady relationship is not always the ultimate way of living. The sad part is, how they make up stories about you. If you go out for a drink or a coffee or have a bite with a good friend, oh... she must be... right, no I must be nothing, I was just having a good time with a friend. Or you work closely together with someone, who becomes your friend, and you are seen a lot of times together... oh they must be... no, it's someone whom I like and love to work with, we have some common interests and we like to hang out together as well from time to time. Just some examples, there are many more. And what did I do to make people gossip but just have a good time with somebody? They never say it to your face, but you know what they are talking about behind your back. And yes, of course the being gay part, or in my case lesbian part, is talked about as well. Not to your face, no they are just too cowardly to ask you, or are they just afraid of the answer that makes all their fun of talking about you a moot point? What do people expect from singles? That they sit on the couch waiting for the love of my life to ring my doorbell? That they spent their time on dating apps to find the ever loving partner who brings you your breakfast on bed? Oh the things I could tell, I could write a book about it, and it would make a pretty good tv show perhaps.

Anyway, at some point you stop reacting on those ridiculous things they say about you. You shrug and move on. You know for yourself, there is just nothing wrong with being single, it's just another way of life. If it shows one thing it is that a lot of people pretend to be open minded for different opinions, ways of life and respective of another persons life and choices. Yet, they show at the same time their narrow minded suspicion and biased views.

And if there's one thing I learned from this fandom, it's that there are a lot of weird people in it, of which Sam is not the weirdest but quite boring compared to them. Take the Twitter account currently pretending she's traveling with her imaginary bf the SS tour. Or that shipper who rather flips coins and trust her guts, while a marriage certificate is totally fake. Now that's weird in my book! But okay, it's a way of life I guess. To each their own.

Sigh, and all in all it still became quite a long answer. And all in all I know people will say you're [insert any criticism] because [insert any reason]. And I... I shrug and will just move on.

Bungou Stray Dogs Osamu Dazai Animatic Idea.

Song: Fireflies

Artist: Owl City

Basically this is an idea dump for an animatic I know I'll never make. If anyone gets inspired from this pls tag me.

So you probably know, how I CANNOT draw to save my life, and have very little experience in animation. Yeah, well I still have ideas for animatics so reluctantly, (but also eager for all the artist on here to see it) I'm going to share this really crusty animatic plan I made for a Dazai animatic with the song fire flies by owl city.

Like I said, I can't draw, so I made this using google slides (my trusty compainion) and horrid clip art so pls exuse it. It's just for general lay out and some notes about motion. Also when making it, I didn't intend to have lyrics displayed on screen, but I did put them for reference.

Because I can't draw but I wanted to make an animatic, I give you this really specifc break down of one instead. I just really thought that the somg fireflies was perfect for Dazai so I made this crappy thing. Here you go!

Don't quetsion the flowers. I just put them tehre because I fiund them while searching for other stock iamges/clipart and though that they were pretty. The title slide is prettyu much just for funsies and not part of the mian animatic.

ONE

So the basic idea of this one is the bed is in greater focus. He's laying awake, his arm handing off the side, with a bottle of pills spilt out onto the floor (from a failed Dazai typcial su!c!de attempt) Some fireflies flutter up in the top right corner of the room, maybe by a small high up window. There's a nightsand on the right side. The gardient has nothing to do with colour pallet, I just wanted to amke a gradient. Lol

TWO

The door stock image is a little fancy, but I couldn't find a regualr door fpr some reason, idk. Pretty mush he's wlaking to the door, maybe Dazai's hand is reaching for the knob.

THREE

This one is arugaubly the most complicated. Yes, I know the detail is going crazy with this clipart(sarcastic). Here's the note I put, inse it's too small. (He’s walking outside from inside. Going onto the lawn. Show him walking through the door. Show side of house with window w/ curtains to indicate, maybe wood siding. Def show grass and fireflies hovering outside of door. He’s crying a little bit.)

FOUR

He's standing in the middle of a field surrounded by many fireflies, looking around in awe, still teary.

FIVE

Farily simple. Somehow or another he's in space (hey, it's artistic license) He's standing on top of Earth and Earth is spinning underneath him. Starts blink/twinkle.

SIX

He's lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling. The fireflies have folowed him inside somehow. They give the mostly dark room a soft glow.

SEVEN

Fireflies surrounding Dazai and some lading on his shoulders and maybe hair. (The arms on the clipart manare so messed up because the fireflies are on a white not transparent background but it's hard to tell because the slide is also white.)

EIGHT

He’s dancing kind of, no specific moves needed, just enough to give the impression. Maybe twirling, idk. Fireflies follow his movements, drifting up and down and side to side with him. They move a little before he does, appearing to guide him.

NINE

A kitsune jumping over Dazai's bed. I imagined it looking like the full fox form of him in that one Kitsune Mayoi card. (https://images.app.goo.gl/atvjvAELR2ec1eBv9)

TEN

He's laying under his bed staring upwards. Idk thsi scene is weird, I know.

ELEVEN

He's on his tippy toes recahing up twoards a disco ball suspended from the ceiling by a noose.

TWLEVE

This scene again

THIRTEEN

This one again

FOURTEEN

Yay a new scene after the repeats! It's the front door again from the inside veiw. It's cracked open and there's light comming from within the house, fireflies fly out and back into the night.

FIFTEEN

This scene to me is about his guilt. He's now sititng up in bed and there's a thought bubble with the logo of the sheep.

SIXTEEN

Ofc it wouldn't be a true Dazai animatic without his bestie! Oda cameo, yay! Here he's standing over Oda's grave, not crying but looking very sad.

SEVENTEEN

I don't think i need to explain this one very much lol. I couldn't find a way to show this with images so I jsut wrote it out. Reminescent of this scene (https://www.reddit.com/r/BungouStrayDogs/comments/u57xqv/what_does_this_scene_in_the_opening_symbolize/) But with Dazia and Oda instead of Dazai and Chuuya.

EIGHTEEN

He's getting dreams of the dead apple dragon and vampire chuuya.

NINETEEN

Zooms into his nightsand to show a jar glwoing and full of 7 fireflies

TWENTY

Yup, this one is back again.

TWENTY ONE

And this one

TWENTY TWO

and this one again

TWNTY THREE (last one)

The differne between this one and the otehr's liek it are that in this last scene he finnaly falls asleep. Slowly the fireflies fade out.

Thanks you so much for reading this far down the post of just my nonsense. Pls have an amazing day!

[birindale]

I've mentioned the so-called "U-Matic tapes" before, but had tabled finding footage of them bc the next step was going to involve a lot more hacking than I'm capable of. But on my most recent research quest, I got a bootleg DVD which contained an unlisted feature: my personal white whale.

So what is this? Why did I want a copy so bad?

The U-Matic tapes were found in Filmation archives, and we believe this was part of the collaborative process between Mattel and Filmation's development of the characters.

It's easy to look at the Filmation designs and see where the studio's common practices are put into effect. Hordak was changed from gray-skinned to blue so that he would pop out against the backgrounds better. She-Ra's spiraling chest emblem was made symmetrical, because they'd learned that asymmetry and stock footage do not get along during their Superman cartoon.

But this--these designs, this singular tape--this is our missing link. The common ancestor between the first wave toys and the Filmation designs. And yes, I had still images, but not in the original resolution! Not with the clapperboard! This is an entirely unexpected windfall and I'm downright gleeful. Buckle in, folks, I'm breaking it all down:

Castaspella

Ah, Castaspella. She started out with really vibrant colors actually, Justine Dantzer designed her with this whole psychedelic vibe. Her magic wheel was originally super bright, primary colors that imo would have served the toy really well. Instead of 'look at this cool hypno disk' it would be 'look at this cool rainbow hypno disk'. Kids love rainbows! I'm not biased at all!

Obviously the biggest difference aside from her color scheme is the wheel. They did have it in early Filmation passes, but like... it's a giant wheel. I imagine it's kind of a pain to animate.

Double Trouble

Double Trouble, too, had a bit of a color scheme journey. She began with magenta and red, then apparently moved into this violet-and-blue combo, before finally settling on green. And like, the first wave did need more green imo. If they'd stuck with the red for Catra and that lilac for Glimmer they could have had a whole rainbow. And like, gay bias aside, that would be lovely for collectors, or kids that like to arrange stuff by color.

Anyway they kind of stole prototype DT's color scheme for Filmation Glimmer, probably because of the aforementioned 'pop' blue brings against their standard backgrounds. And speaking of...

Glimmer

The guide who lights the way! Filmation pushed her hair much pinker than the toy's (although it's dyed purple in one episode), but otherwise yeah, that's pretty much just Double Trouble's proto-outfit, sans tulle. I should note that the leotards and so on are likely also a 'reduce the number of frames we have to draw' measure. Lou Scheimer had a very, very strict policy that She-Ra's underwear never be showed, which made a number of shots incredibly difficult to animate (the spin-kick towards the camera comes to mind). Honestly it's probably the reason for our She-Ra's shorts. But it's where things like leotards come in handy, because you can animate the action without working around modesty or fabric physics.

Catra

Catra's the biggest downgrade, in my opinion. Like I know, toys marketing being what it is, that they had to push pink. But the red looked so cool! And I know it's difficult to see in the video, but her mask used to have fur like in the prelims. That I think was more of a practical decision, since it's harder to slip a fur-lined mask over rooted hair than a smooth plastic one, but I'd kill to see some test shots with it.

We're not sure what that flocked red Battle Cat mold is--if it's an early Clawdeen/late Tinx, or a shapeshifted Catra. I'm inclined to think the former, both because the play pattern is 'this one toy can be two forms' and because they appear to have added a silver collar in place of Battle Cat's helmet. It seems to have been scrapped for her winged horse Storm, at least for this wave, which is kind of a shame. I think a red velvet Panthor would have had a lot of crossover appeal with the MOTU market (and just been awesome in general).

She-Ra

She-Ra is pretty far along conceptually on both sides of the equation. Naturally, she was the first to be designed--you can see where Mattel was leaning into a tulle and reflective sticker thing and Filmation was like "we reeeeeally want to give her a winged opera-viking-helm thing though". You can see the mask, instead of hard plastic, is like, shiny foil.

Bow

The top of Bow's cape, too--shiny foil. His bow was shaped more like a traditional longbow, and his quiver appears to have been hollow instead of a single cast piece. His outfit is actually the least changed, both in the toy's production and in developing it for Filmation. Like the only things different in the cartoon are that he doesn't have a breastplate covering his heart & abs, and that they gave him a mustache. They tried to do a full beard initially so like. Hey. Could have been hairier!

The figure on the left, under proto-Enchanta, seems to be proto-Kowl. How quickly Justine Dantzer's concept was lost. Koala, plus owl--it's not that complicated!

but Mattel wanted to make a little guy with butterfly wings instead. Explains some of the Filmation concept art, at least.

Angella

Angella was probably changed the most for Filmation. Like they kept the pink and the wing-influenced sigil on her chest (and the actual wings), but they added that blue--almost certainly for contrast--and turned her blonde. Meanwhile the toy just refined the chest design and switched from opaque white to a semi-transparent pink for the wings. 'Cause you know, toy marketing.

Frosta

Frosta, too, was relatively unchanged. Both companies opted for a lighter shade of blueon the hair, and Filmation replaced the reflective elements with white & the sheer with a different shade of blue, but other than that it was pretty much just the same process they applied with Catra's fabrics. Mattel went for texture, Filmation went for an easy-to-animate silhouette.

Other

I've talked about Justine Dantzer's original vision for the Crystal Castle even more than the U-Matics themselves at this point. She loves eagles, she was really excited about the beak elevator thing, it didn't test well & Mattel decided it was too edgy. Thus, the eventual pink situation.

Speaking of eventual pink sitatuations--did somebody say Swift Wind?

That blurry, indistinct horse shape is everyone's favorite equine, in the flesh. Guys, look! He's white! There's a blue ombre on his wings! Suddenly the dichotomy of Toy! and Filmation!Swifties seems less extreme, no?

That bird-thing on the left seems to be a proto-Enchanta, albeit very different from the final product (which was basically just a swan with a mane, not this sick ass dragon-influenced version).

The shields were just round shields, but they may have been placeholders to show off colors/materials, because we know Noreen Porter had refined She-Ra's at least by this point.

The video quality is too poor to say for certain who had a weapon and who had a comb at this point, but Catra's little item there looks significantly pointier than the comb she wound up with. Maybe a comb-ination with a knife? I for one think she should get a blade or two. As a treat. They didn't even give her a sword until wave 3, and that wasn't even her main weapon [side-eyes the Shower Squirter judgmentally]

Man I still can't believe this just turned up. Who would have thought that trying to get cleaner footage of the 1985 Duck Soup commercial could lead to this. Thank you bootleggers you are doing god's work (media preservation). If anybody wants some Rainbow Brite or the live action Japanese Spider-Man or something, I had a pretty great experience with these guys. Only complaint is that their list of included features should be way more specific. I took a gamble on finding some footage anyway & while it didn't turn up I'm far happier with this result. Also if an officially licensed version of any of their titles comes out they take it off the store, which is like, weirdly honorable? But good for them, tbh. Good for them.

Amanda @AceOfJersey asks: Will we meet any new members of the Red Company? Victoria Goddard answers: Depends on what other books you’ve read first!

Tom Farrell @smackledawbed asks: Does anyone arrive from Ysthar? Victoria Goddard answers: yes (eyes emoji)

Janvi Rakshi @HellLucifer1509 asks: On a scale of 1 to 100, how many times will we lie on the ground gasping for breath after reading certain lines or paragraphs? (For reference, HoTE ranked a 2,34,560 on my scale) Victoria Goddard answers: I can’t speak to lying on the floor, but you may want to stock up on wooden spoons to bite through. Or maybe a wooden spoon factory.

kylie owens @sofihatters asks: Will there be more of Kip dancing? Do we get to see any other Islander dances? Victoria Goddard answers: Kip might find an opportunity. Or two.

Commissions like this are available starting at $200 for single character (includes painted background)

.

You'll notice that while I used the same poses, I fixed the anatomy. I use realistic anatomy and whoever threw this scene together in the film didnt pay attention to the placement of each characters leg 🤣 When I was redrawing it, I had to use photos of real wolves howling because the cartoon was THAT off/weird anatomy.

.

I'll have to find new brushes for the next one I do because this didnt have the texture I wanted despite me trying to use stock paper textures to enhance the paint brush effect. Krita is also a pill to work with so because the program is only half functional, I spent 4 days of 8-12 hours of work on the full image including trying to make it look like oil/acrylic paint on paper rather than digital art. That failed so its overly obvious that its not painted on paper 😭 I need "paint brushes" that actually look like a swath of paint brushed on a piece of paper. Photoshop has them! Krita just doesnt play nice no matter how many mods I shove into it :( and I cant make old PS work with my Pixelbook/ChromeOS. Yes I installed it via Linux, however all the UI is super tiny and it wont register pen pressure. I hate how Adobe split old PS into a dozen different apps and requires a subscription to use them these days. I miss PS from 20 years ago.

Mad at how hard it is to draw an alligator so have the low budget version instead! It comes in white background and transparent and once I have thought of something funny to add I will add to it!

(Yes those are stock images)

this made me laugh so hard that I almost choked on my lunch and I imagine my coworkers think I'm psychotic

[the-blind-geisha]

You can get the not so aggressively watermarked version on my Patreon! You can also obtain the background to use in your own works. With or without horses~! ♥

And that's how I knew I was gay. lol

Okay, I'm mostly kidding.

But anyways, I had a very old memory/ story of mine where Oreana was living in Clock Town (and yes, she had pink hair at that time). While she lived and worked in the Stock Pot Inn with a male harem (because I was a teen in dire need of love since my hectic family life gave me none), it didn't stop Cremia from having a crush on her.

While the image here would show the reverse, let's be honest: I wrote/ drew that to explore my sexuality. 

It was hard living around people who thought homosexuality was a sin and frowned upon. Always having to hear the 'mocking of the gays' so much, it's shocking it didn't do more harm. 

But well, writing and or drawing what was 'taboo' in my house was a thrill. 

It's so funny that a lot of my 'female inspirations' as a kid were actually die hard crushes looking back on it years later.

I keep my sexuality under lock and key offline, but online, I'm more open about it.

I'm thankful for art and writing allowing me an outlet for things I was too scared to ever try and do in real life.
