something something Canary Curse Animatic something something OKAY but for real, so excited to be participating in @multidimensionbb! 's MCYT WIP Purge this year! I can't help but post a little bit of what I've got for this month's check in, so I thought it'd be fitting to show what was sitting in 'WIP Graveyard' for about a year. It's a JimmySolidarity animatic that follows his lives (and deaths) all the way up to Secret Life, which was when I first started watching the Life Series as a whole! <3 I'm very happy to announce that, as of today, I'm officially halfway through my animatic, and am on track to finish it by February!!!! (knocks on wood.......) I hope y'all enjoy what I've got so far (even though I'm bound to edit it eventually), and I hope you like it when it's all said and done, as well! :]

Ushijima-Oikawa parallels with Kageyama-Hinata

To me, Ushijima and Oikawa are like a tragic parallel to Hinata and Kageyama. If Oikawa had gone to Shiratorizawa then he and Ushijima could've had the partnership that Kagehina had. But because he didn't, they will never know what it's like to make the other feel invincible.

Shipping goggles aside, the parallels have to be intentional (haikyuu is too well-written for it to be just a coincidence): Both Ushijima and Kageyama were framed as naturally gifted volleyball monsters. Meanwhile Oikawa and Hinata believed that they were just average (even though the people around them know that they have their own strengths). Ushijima was the one who kept winning against Oikawa, just like how Kageyama was always ahead of Hinata. Both Hinata and Oikawa went abroad to gain experience so they could finally beat their rival. Ushijima and Kageyama are both awkward, intimidating, and ASD-coded while Hinata and Oikawa are framed as easy-going extroverted chatterboxes. These pairs are literally so similar it's crazy. Look at them and tell me it's not intentional

It also makes sense when you consider that their playstyles are also complementary. Kageyama and Hinata were a good match for each other because Hinata needed Kageyama's precision and Kageyama needed someone agile to match his own speed. But Ushijima's only requirement is for the ball to be set high and the right distance from the net so it's easy to hit. And which setter is known for dedicating themselves to their spikers, giving them easy sets? Oikawa. They truly could've been a terrifying duo.

I think Furudate was trying to show what Kageyama and Hinata could've been if they didn't team up. They'd still be strong, sure, but not invincible like they were in Karasuno. (as opposed to the Miya twins, who were supposed to show what they could've been like if they had an equal from the very beginning)

But in the end it all worked out for everyone! They all got to play on the world stage together. Ushijima and Oikawa even had their reconciliation at the all stars match (still waiting on the Oikawa-Kageyama reconciliation please please please 👀). They're all happy so I suppose it isn't actually tragic. I just cant help but wonder what could have been if Ushijima and Oikawa learned what it's like to be each other's greatest ally. Hinata and Kageyama were so lucky to have found each other after all.

Happy 1st Anniversary, I Feel You Linger In The Air! (August 18th, 2023 - November 3rd, 2023)

“I am heading towards the end of my life. Throughout the course of my life, I have learnt that the current of time always runs forward without any retreat. With the matter of time, I might already be your past, but, for me, you are my future. I'm still looking forward to seeing you at the same place, and I hope that someday we will get back and spend our lives together.”

Fighting for my damn life to both remember that 3 of trans girlies have not come out yet in the story, and therefore they wouldn’t go by she/her- but I do not wanna call them he/him so I’m just stuck with trying to use their names as much as possible so I don’t have to use pronouns

max getting three poc love interests ( yes, safi counts in my mind ) is SO good and a nice change of pace to the constant streak of white love interests in lis when you don’t have someone crying about how ‘max would never!’ in your ear

So! Update on the orange bag 🍊:

(this is more so I have it documented so feel free to skip)

Got the yarn this week, started making it yesterday.

About halfway through it (after the increase rounds), I noticed something wasn't adding up - somehow I kept getting more and more stitches left over. Which was weird, since I WAS counting them and marking them all. Frogged a few rows, did it again - still too many stitches.

Checked back the pattern - was doing everything correctly. The video? Not helpful at all. Could barely see what she was doing, didn't even have a voice-over.

Decided to investigate (took a while but I found what I needed) - turns out there are TWO different ways of joining rows in the round (opposed to continuous spirals).

First, and most common, you ch1 and start the row in the same joint sl st. Second, which apparently is not much used, you start the row AFTER the sl st. So when you finish a row, you have to ignore both the sl and the ch sts and join on the first st.

So it's almost like you ignore TWO sts instead of one. Which was not what I was doing, and the reason why I started to get extra sts at the end.

Was this explained ANYWHERE on the pattern or video? No. I get that when you write, you count on people to know what is said, but the instructions on how to join where left to a lot of interpretation imo. And if you're making a video, the least you could do is properly demonstrate and/or note that right? Otherwise, what's the point of a video??

Anyways! After I did a mock circle with this Acquired Knowledge™, for testing reasons, I ended up closing the project. I could frog it, but it seemed like a waste of time. I might either frog it later, or add a different colour ribbing, but for now it's a little trinket bowl.

Currently restarting 👍👍👍
