THANK YOU FOR 500 FOLLOWERS ❤️😭❤️😭❤️ I’m a little late for the milestone but it took a while to figure out what i wanted to do exactly . I can’t believe i’ve come this farrrr it warms my heart so much to know people enjoy the things I make 🥹
( Sorry I couldn’t put direct translations in the video , I’m not too well versed in japanese grammar so I wasn’t sure which lyric translation would go first given the fact that japanese is very different grammatically to english and i’m just Not knowledgeable enough to know what the translations would be in parts rather than full lines 🥹 )
I made this for an animatic I'm working on and hdufjdgs ITS SO COOL GIDYSNDYBSAAAAAA
This is probably the largest scale animatic I've ever done. The only thing that comes close is the one I made for digital silence but this one is 10x longer and has 5x more work out into each frame

I was listening to this song from the TikTok Musical, EPIC, by Jorge Rivera-Herrans for quite a while (this song is essentially about Poseidon's revenge on Odysseus), and it made me want to try "animating" Cameron to it because it very much fits his vibe LAUGHS.
In Deityverse, since he's a False Deity, he's probably more dependent on mortal faith and worship than anyone in the Pantheon (one of the reasons why he's on the same Tier as Minor Deities, almost a step below them, being an Eldritch Primordial). He wouldn't have a god status at All if not for tricking mortals into believing he was one. The ones who try to back out after making promises to him they can't keep... They get "friendly" reminders. 😌
His alignment teeters between Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Good most of the time. The worst part is since he is the biggest trickster of everyone, you never really know if he's serious or not. No one really wants to take that chance to find out though.
(Also no, the dude featured isn't Cam's boyfriend, Ari; it's another man who is unrelated. I just vomited out a random design for the random smaller player here fksjhg, who happens to share Ari's hair.)
SO to end off #mermay, I wanted to share what I was working on! A lot happened this month, much of it out of my control, so I wasn't able to work on this as much as I would have liked. Ignore how rough this is, the timing is also not great but hey! It's what I could get done despite all the rough obstacles lately. Hope you guys like it! I'll be continuing it when I can.
Here's part one if you wanna see :D And here @funsizedcoffee made one of my ideas into an animatic! Thx again! (FYI, I'm moving all my Gt stuff to this side-blog.)
Feel free to change any people’s lines to better fit their characters. Some I just put in these spots because they needed to be filled.
ok I was gonna post this tomorrow but i’m impatient and i think y’all will like this hskssjsh
anyway, bit of a character study cause i heard this sound on tik tok and it just fit them too well
also as a bonus, take me rambling about what this video implies/is about under the cut (beware for talk of v*re):
Ok so George and Dream have a…complicated relationship. I’ve mentioned before that George has a lot of sensory and processing issues, so he enjoys being in Dream’s stomach, and Dream just likes eating borrowers, but now has to do so very discreetly so Schlatt and Sapnap and the fiancés don’t get mad at him. Also, in case you forgot, Dream kidnapped Tommy a few weeks before he and George met and kept him trapped in his stomach for like a week before he eventually learned that he had a nephew who was a borrower, and Sapnap was actually so angry that Dream was afraid he’d lose his best friend, so he let Tommy go.
George is aware of this. He borrowed around the apartments enough to know that gist of it. And though Dream hasn’t trapped him, and knows that if he did George would never come back, he can’t just forget the incident. After all, he saw the little mind games he played with Tommy. He saw him treat the younger borrower like a pet. He saw him completely neglect Tommy’s needs and fear for nothing but his own gain. And he thinks that the only reason Dream hasn’t been treating him the same is because Dream needs him. George is the only borrower that wont tell other what Dream does. He keeps it from all of the borrowers in his colony and doesn’t try to tell Dreams family and friends. They’re all oblivious to his existence, because Dream wants them to think he has completely stopped swallowing borrowers. But Dream obviously doesn’t see him as a person. He’s an asset, a tool to help him trick his family while getting what he wants, but he isn’t a friend, and George has to constantly kick himself for thinking that. But, he remains neutral to Dream, since he’s equally reliant. Dream is the only way George can sleep peacefully, can feel peace at all. So, he participated in whatever mind game Dream is playing and converses with him, pretending that he could actually maybe be his friend someday.
It’s not that Dream doesn’t understand that borrowers are people; he just didn’t care for a long while. He got a kick out of trapping them and making them fear him, it gave him a sense of power. He could never get that with humans, he’d always been pushed around back when he was in the foster system, everyone had looked down on him, he’d always been scared. Until Puffy became his guardian and his big sister. Yet he still felt the need to chase that power that he lacked for so long. And borrowers gave him that. Tommy did. George…didn’t. George made it clear from the very beginning that he didn’t give two shits about Dreams tough guy act. He was never scared, never flinched, never cried. Dream just swallowed him and he almost immediately fell asleep. Any attempt to goad movement out of him while in his belly would result in a massive stomach ache for the rest of the day, and any sort of mouthplay would result in his lip piercing almost being ripped out. So initially, George wasn’t exactly what Dream had wanted, but what other choice did he have? Who else wouldn’t snitch? No one. So he’d just put up with George.
Until after a while, he found he didn’t mind that George wasn’t terrified of him. He actually…liked when it was maybe a bit easier to get him down, when he didn’t struggle out of survival instinct. Liked the conversations they had, the jokes they made, George’s deadpan humor. The highlight of his day was when they’d talk. George became less of a crutch for his borrower addiction or whatever you’d call it and more his friend. The urge to swallow him to feel power morphed into something he felt a surge of protection while doing. George made him realize how wrong he was to treat so many borrowers so poorly. Made him realize how much of an asshole he’d been. Soon after this, he started to realize he felt a bit more connected to George than he thought. Any time Dream would swallow him and feel and hear him purr, his face would heat up, George would fall asleep within him and he’d be so taken aback by his trust and he’s end up just staring off into space with his hands over his stomach. He couldn’t imagine losing him. He wanted George to be happy and protected and he wanted him to be his and not in the way most people think borrowers should be owned. He didn’t know how, didn’t even know it was possible, but he’d fallen in love with George.
Dream thinks they are close friends, and George can’t really sort out his feelings towards Dream. He doesn’t trust that the way he acts is anything more than a persona and, as much as he begrudgingly loves to talk to Dream and be with him, he thinks that if he ever gets to invested and actually shows that he does care about Dream, the human will drop the act and he’ll be heart broken. Dream is unaware of all of this, because he doesn’t know that George knows what he’s done, or his history of dehumanizing borrowers. And like hell is he gonna tell him.
So this video is kind of a culmination of that: Dream genuinely likes George, but has no idea how to go about that because George is giving him so signals and George just snaps. He can’t keep doing this. He can’t keep letting Dream pretend he cares, can’t bring himself to accept that it isn’t an act at all. It’s genuine affection. Dream had no idea that George couldn’t tell, and is confused as to why all of a sudden, when he thought things were going so well, George doesn’t believe that they’re friends. Dream is upset because he wants George to know that he sees him as a person, a friend, that he loves him, but how can George see that? After all Dream has done, does he deserve for George to see him as a friend?
George is upset that he had to say any of that at all. That Dream couldn’t drop the act. That he’s been fake with him for so, so long. He’d been holding onto the hole that the longer he waits, the more the act will drop and he’ll act more like the human that kidnapped Tommy. But he’s only gotten worse with his teasing remarks and attempts at flirting. He doesn’t know if when Dream calls him “cute,” it’s meant to be in a dehumanizing way or a genuine way. He’s mad because he thinks Dream couldn’t want anything more than their arrangement: getting to eat George. He’s upset because he so desperately wants to believe that Dream enjoys him for more than being just a weight in his stomach, but he can’t.
