Beauty and the Beast Week 2025 starts in about two months, on August 18! There's still plenty of time to make something before then!

The theme this year is “Beasts of every kind,” with the following prompts and ideas of how to use them:

(Text version of prompts here)

Feel free to take one of the 85+ writing and art ideas using the prompts that are already posted at #inspiration, or come up with something that metaphorically fits with the animal theme of the day.

You are NOT expected to do something every day! Just 1 work for 1 day of your choosing is enough, though you are welcome to do more if you like. And you are NOT expected to create your fanwork on that day, just post it on that day.

All types of fandom works are welcome, as long as it contains at least one Disney BatB character (crossovers, OCs, and reader-inserts are allowed too!). See the full rules and FAQs.

Reblogs are appreciated!

Toby Fox, you sly dog, thinking that you can sneak an Earthbound reference under my nose without me noticing.

Nice try

I need an opinion for characterization.

tldr: Should the Virtue Patience still remain warm and motherly, or kinda be "motherly" but is a lot more cold and distant to people and her other Virtues?

More context below bc it turned into word vomit lol

I'm going back through all of the characters for Seven: The Deadly Sitcom, and became a little stumped for how I want to characterize the Virtue, Patience.

To give context, here's how the other virtues are characterized:

Kindness: Happy and attentive to others, but knows when to put her foot down if she starts to get pushed in the wrong direction

Humility: Stern and to the point, very business oriented

Liberality: Shy and informative, she usually goes on her own to find intel

Abstinence: Calm yet worried, the most in tuned to humans compared to the other Virtues

Chastity: Angry, wants to end the Sins before they can commence Armageddon, despises their respective sin the most

Diligence: Militant and a stickler for the rules, on the ridged side but can soften if circumstances call for it.

Now for Patience. I currently have her characterized as motherly and sympathetic, a stark contrast to her respective sin - Wrath - who is loud, destructive and snide. However, upon focusing more on Wrath's character, I added a dejected side to Wrath that has her reminiscing and almost regretting falling from Heaven and becoming a Sin. Because of that, it made me wonder if having Patience be cold and truthfully harsh would work better with Wrath being quietly regretful of her past decisions.

Patience has pretty much been a mom to the Virtues since her creation, but I've been exploring more of a colder Patience and now I'm torn between keeping her old personality or switching tracks to her new personality.

So, what do you guys think?

The thing that cracks me up the most about Super Mario Galaxy 2 is whenever Mario brings somebody back to Starship Mario, Lubba’s range of acceptance is from “ok, that alien is chill” to “AYO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT A BOMB WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT THIS ISNT HOTEL MARIO-“

Not depressing at all! I definitely knew that I project like this is gonna take a long time, I just wasn’t sure where to start with it. This gives me ideas for scaling it back to a more bite sized area. Thank you for your insight!

Hello animation community! I am in need of guidance and areas to research for possibly building a team for an indie animated pilot (looking at like 2 years down the road for starting pre-production since I am currently dealing with a lot of personal irl things that should stable out in the next couple years).

I have experience in terms of creating a team for live action television production and executing the projects successfully, but in terms of an animation team I have very little knowledge on the matter. I'm not 100% sure of where to look in terms of researching seeing everything going on in the animation world from budget and job cuts to the hell that is AI, and I would like to have resources that give me the full scope of what exactly goes into the animation team in terms of pre, during, and post production.

I was initially thinking of pitching my project idea to corporate studios, but seeing their treatment of animation as a whole alongside the teams and creators, I would rather stay far away from that until corporate can get their shit together (this project of mine is around 7 years old creation wise, and currently is sitting with a final episode count of 100 across 6 seasons). I would like to see my project from being to end without the fear of it getting canceled part way through on top of letting artists, editors, designers, VAs, and other team members flourish and try new things with their craft under a chill and relaxed atmosphere.

Websites, books, and experiences/stories (both cooperate and indie) are more than welcome on this post! I want to make sure I'm treating the team right in terms of workload and timelines, and not creating a stressful or frustrating work environment if and when I bring this project to life.

Alright, discussion for the night: we should have more big classy interpretations of the sin of gluttony

[justdalek]

why does emiko like masquerade partties? does kaiya's parents force him to train? why does sana have white hair? how did yuka discover he talent?

1. Emiko has a ton of fun designing masquerade parties since there’s an “air of mystery about them” (largely referring to everyone in masks). She’s all about having people meet by fate (“I don’t read romance novels,” she says, “I make them come alive!”). Of course, it’s not like she doesn’t like designing other parties, but she gets more of a trill outta mask parties (if her dad, Teruteru, is the chef at the party, the two place bets on who’s gonna leave the party with who, a fun pastime of theirs)

2. Kaiyo’s parents don’t necessarily force him to train, but they do push him towards at least having a regiment roughly 3 days a week. Both are worried that Kaiyo might find himself in a nasty situation (seeing his talent of being the Ultimate Spy) and need to defend himself, but they don’t realize that Kaiyo’s way of spying mostly involves him just sitting in a room reading and gathering intel. He also has more of a passive attitude than a confrontational attitude

3. Sana was just born with it. Both Nekomaru and Akane thought it was cool that he has dual colored hair (Emiko’s strand of light brown hair is also something she was born with, not dyed)

4. It was mainly Yuka’s ability to listen to people and quickly assess how to address their problems in a healthy manner that got her scouted as the Ultimate Counselor. Her main focuses are cognitive, acupuncture, and music therapies

Going on a mini Danganronpa kick (I finally finished Trigger Happy Havoc after I finished DR2 a year ago lol), so some DR2 next gen content!

Rambles of the kids beloooow

Emiko Hanamura: The Ultimate Party Planner

Parents: Teruteru Hanamura and the Ultimate Imposter

Age: 16

Story: The daughter of the Ultimate Cook and the Ultimate Imposter, Emiko knows how to plan any party that you can think of! From birthdays to surprise random parties, Emiko's got you covered! Though, if we're being honest, masquerade balls are her favorite parties to plan.

Kaiyo Kuzuryu: The Ultimate Spy

Parents: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Peko Pekoyama

Age: 16

Story: The heir to the Kuzuryu Clan, Kaiyo would rather spend his days reading in the backyard than train to hone in on his weapons skills to better sharpen his talent. While his parents are understanding of his growing dislike towards his ultimate, they are both hoping that sending Kaiyo to Hopes Peak Academy can give him a fresh new insight towards the potential of his talent.

Sana Nidai: The Ultimate Motivational Speaker

Parents: Nekomaru Nidai and Akane Owari

Age: 17

Story: The loudest student of his class, Sana has a reason for his large bravado: motivation! He loves giving speeches that inspire hope and wellbeing among his peers and colleagues, as well as hanging out with new people everyday. Of course, he inherited one major thing from his parents, and that's their love for meat.

Yuka Hinata: The Ultimate Counselor

Parents: Hajime Hinata and Chiaki Nanami

Age: 15

Story: Being the counselor of the group tends to wear Yuka down, but she has yet to give up the hope that people will get better in time. Alongside her father and Makoto Naegi, Yuka and her class are the start towards a new era of hope from Hope's Peak Academy.
