Here are some of the animated gifs Santa Monica Studios have been putting out for God of War: Ragnarök

Sorry for the quality, tumblr only allows for 10MB gifs & these are quick & dirty rips straight from twitter which were already not great quality to start.

I'm assuming these are made to be used, so go right ahead & save & use however you like

Animator credits I could find:

Kratos making a heartshape & Kratos swearing about Valkyries by Dennis Pena, aka @/Boltfinger on twitter

Wolf paw slap by Grace Pan, one of the animators

Angrboda making faces by Jack Ebensteiner, aka @/AnimJack on twitter

Sweating Atreus by Kim Nguyen, aka @/KimbaWin on twitter

Thor sliding by Roberto Clemente, a senior combat animator

FIC WRITERS!!!

specifically those who like to write to music!

if you are ever struggling with a plot hole, character arc/motivation, or other writer’s-block-afflicting issue, make a playlist!!

for example:

my upcoming chapter is dealing with a character i struggle to write + have no idea how to carry out their arc. i’ve been agonizing over it ever since the first time i was able to shove that part of the story to the side of my mind. so, i created a character mood playlist.

just at random, picking songs from other playlists that i think fit the vibe of the canon character AND the vibe of where i want their character to be + end up at!

this could be genre, lyrics, vocals, theme, etc! go wild and just add everything that tickles your fancy, you can always curate it later when you narrow down the vibe! initially you’re just throwing shit in to start your creativity pool.

as you’re listening to music and sifting through songs, you may start to form some vague plot line, arc, and motivation ideas. that’ll affect what songs you think to add to your “trial queue” to see if they continue to resonate with how you’re crafting this character/story.

you can be as specific or as vague as you want! if it’s a world you’re building, you could include ambient music or maybe some songs that tell more of a story about the people or cultures inside it. if it’s a character, it could be their hypothetical strut song or a song you just know screams their inner midnight monologue.

basically what you’re doing is spitballing ideas in the form of music! to me it’s kind of adjacent to just typing whatever’s in your brain just to get something down. sure, maybe the playlist you make is incredibly unorganized and hard to explain, but it’s just the first pass!! and nobody has to even see it!! i find it helps me generate some good metaphors and quick character motivations/backstories especially.

this is getting long but i hope this helps at least a few people get inspired again!! and if anyone would like it, i am more than happy to show a few examples of my own playlists i’ve created + curated for characters!
