Hey wait a minute this isn't in the AU's script

Anyways. I am feral for them

I wanted to do more for this little kiss animation (Bubble interrupting by popping behind the damn couch and Pomni getting flustered), BUT THIS HAS ALREADY TAKEN ME A WHOLE TWO DAYS TO MAKE WHICH IS TOO LONG FOR MY STANDARDS

Plus, CSP Pro only allows up to 24 frames, so. AND PLUS PLUS, THIS IS TECHNICALLY MY VERY FIRST EVER FULL-FLEDGE ANIMATION

here's the gif version for people to be totally responsible with:

reblogs def appreciated because ueuueueueueue,,,, this took me a while to make and I was so close to tearing my hair out surprisingly animation is SUPER hard wow who could've ever thought

[die-auster]

Inspired by one incorrect quote I can't find :(

It went on kind of like this: Hama said that the moon gives her power, and Katara replied that the moon gives her more power since Katara's brother dated her. If you know this post please please please tell me so I could credit the author of the original idea.

Whoever has been Jack's (body actor?), ILYSM /platonic‼️ BECAUSE HES BEEN SO LIVELY AND SILLY I LOVE ITTTT Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ !!!!

This is like the first time Ive drawn Puppetmaster and Molten (SAMS) if Im not mistaken? Hope I didnt butcher their designs with some additions lol

Also working on a small redemption au for Nexus, so I might post some those soon—it'll mainly be fluff... Hopefully.

This song put a spell over me.

Animatic for Hama of the Water Tribe, Bloodbender, after she frees herself from the Fire Nation prison.

Music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Get in the Water, from EPIC the Musical, song cover by Morgan Clae [Video Description: Get in the water: Hama faces a Fire Nation soldier at the beach under the light of a full moon. Face tired, almost impassive, she tells him to get in the water. Tides so high: She reaches her hand up to the moonlit sky and the waves of the sea around her start to roil. Her actions in time with the music, she threatens and bloodbends the soldier to step closer to the sea. He shouts no, and Hama sends a wall of water up around them. Hama forces him to kneel and sends the water over the soldier, and the final shots are from his POV as the water rises and covers his vision. ]

Apologies if I haven't been able to answer some asks as usual, I've been busy making a little special animatic for my new Harlequin AU! (& comm work)

There's so many frames I've made just to make a scene, like this one where Caine attempts to vibe check Pomni with his cane (my personal favorite)

Or this one shot of Pomni recovering from a surprise leg sweep

I'm no animator (I literally edited this in FilmoraX), but I've been working real hard on this project and more, so I hope that you'd all like it when it comes out!

AM's monologue kept replaying in my head whenever Nexus was speaking on today's eaps episode, so I had to doodle this lmao

[ecoterrorist-katara]

“It’s gross if Katara marries Zuko since he’s her colonizer” she overthrew the last Fire Lord to put Zuko on the throne. If anything the Fire Nation would be worried that he’s Katara’s puppet

am i the only one whos noticed this

Reflections Stop mocking me

You ever just feel so terrible you started making an experimental art piece with an artstyle you've never dabbled into before? Yeah me too

[beifong-brainrot]

Anyway if the bloodbending in the Southern Raiders isn't enough of a callback to the Puppetmaster and drawing an even stronger parallel between Katara and Hama's respective needs for vengance, Katara looks to be combing her hair with Hama's whale bone comb.

Hama is literally the cautionary tale of what Katara could become if she allowed herself to go down the path of vengance.

It's also the reason Katara is so rightfully averse to bloodbending. To Katara, bloodbending is so closely tied to the seed of vindictive rage Hama had planted in her.

It's a torch forcefully passed to her by Hama, a woman driven mad by the horrific cruelty of the Fire Nation. It's not just "move around blood in body like water", not to Katara. To her, it carries years and generations of trauma and pain and anger. That's why she cries at the end of the Puppetmaster. Not because the skill itself is disturbing, but what it symbolises. Because she carries a piece of Hama in herself, and that is beyond terrifying.

So while I WILL wait to post my animation piece for a later time, I will share 2-3 frames with you guys because I’ve vanished over here-

Tw: Eye strain

My animation file got damaged multiple times and I had a terrible time trying to restore it, but I eventually got through it and am now done! :D

AA: i believed the fragment was gibberish from a lunatic AA: after completing his rampage through our session

I guess Gamzee’s rampage wasn’t a one-off, then. He’s turned to murder in other timelines, in what appear to be substantially different circumstances.

Is this LOPAH, or Alternia? Just how early can Gamzee snap?

Edit: She does say he rampaged through the troll session, so I'm assuming the former, given that Karkat was the first one to Enter.

AA: and discovered the text which the code was recorded in AA: i decided to return to the alpha timeline with the text […] AA: in the alpha timeline this text was destroyed AA: in an explosion caused by a computer virus AA: this explosion did not take place on my timeline AA: i identified this event as the difference prompting the offshoot

Why would Karkat’s virus affect Gamzee, though? As far as I can tell, its only material effect was to kill the lusi, and I don't see why that'd cause him to snap.

...hmm. Let's see if we can work this out, actually.

OK. In this hypothetical timeline, Goatdad didn’t die at sea. He would have returned to Gamzee’s hive, and, ...potentially done something that caused him to snap early, I guess. But what?

It is still piping hot but you can't help yourself. You sneak a taste of the SOPOR SLIME PIE. You aren't supposed to eat that slime. It does funny things to a troll's head. But you were never taught that on account of a lousy upbringing. Your custodian was always out to sea.

...aww, man.

Gamzee was on the slime because Goatdad was an absent father. Maybe, in this world without the curse, Goatdad returned to his hive, decided to be a parent for once, and cut him off.

It fits extremely well, but I really don't want to dwell on the possibility. It would mean that this Gamzee became a killer because someone cared for him - and that his first victim was probably the old goat.

‘Hey, that’s a weird colour palette. Why did he....

...oh.’

This is.... I don't know what to call this. Gamzee took out all of his team's heavy hitters, completely solo. He killed Sollux, he killed Kanaya, he killed Vriska...

How? How is this guy so ridiculously fucking dangerous?

I see Snowman w-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I may or may not have forgotten to post this here too so uh to everyone that follows my bsky and twt y'all got to see this 3 hours ago 💀

Erm anyways I've said all my sappy stuff on the tsbs disc so I'm not going to bore anyone with that so just have my farewell piece to Matt, I'll miss his shenanigans but I know I'll see him on other channels having fun or even catch a live stream of his or that he's in so :')

P.s. yes Puppet and Foxy have rings, I have a Promise Ring HC where Foxy gave Puppet a promise ring in hopes it would get her to stop talking about marriage so suddenly and when Foxy died she took his ring, as that was all that was left, and wears them both up until Foxy comes back with no memory and she wants to sacrifice herself, which I imagine she took them both off and just left them in Foxy's room (yes I'm using this to cope and each lore episode just keeps adding more to this HC and making it sadder I swear)
