Zexal Month - Day 4, Freebie

@zexalmonth

Got confused and the prompt I wanted to post this on was for writer’s week.  Didn’t know where else to put it, so just doing it on a free day

Could’ve waited til animator’s week, but honestly this was the first thing I made for the event, so I’d rather it be the first thing I post

Zexal Month Day 8: Beach

spreading the Holy Word about YGO femslash today

Happy Valentine’s Day, here’s a song about dead people!!

Heheh… man, when this song and my AU go hand in hand together, I couldn’t resist :’D . Also the character singing is named ‘Anna’-bel, like… too easy haha

My second animatic, and first time using an actual storyboard program for it^^;  I… have mixed feelings, honestly.  It was nice to have everything needed in one program (even tho I still used Firealpaca for the roughs and Final Cut for compilation) but I thought the program itself was lacking.  Like, there wasn’t even a zoom button, the hell?  But it was free and did make the whole process easier, so, might give it another go

Dolls is honestly a fun musical, if you’re very forgiving of low-budget gothic storytelling, which… I am, so… hopefully no one minds the slightly-creepy femmeslash, but honestly, who doesn’t need more of that in their life, amirite?

Something I made for another project I’m working on

Hmmm how about AnnaRio since I'm writing some!! C;

im very glad you get me on My Ship

Hrrrrrghghgh I love this ship a lot. Unless I’m getting blessed with PreCure, I tend to fall for the rarest f/f ships possible.

I just really like how they contrast each other? They’re very much fire and ice – Anna is so hotblooded, quick tempered, and acts on emotion, while Rio is much more calm and collected in how she thinks things out. I think it makes for a very interesting rivalry, too; I’ve said it before, but because the series ends with Anna transferring to Yuma’s class and Rio on the disciplinary committee, I love the idea of Rio taking interest in Anna and hunting her down for detentions (which isn’t hard, lbr) so they can have alone time. Anna challenges her to get out of it, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but it only makes Rio more interested in her. And I’m sure Anna would be very, very flustered when she found out Rio’s true intent behind the detentions, hehe.

But for as interesting of a rivalry that they have, there’s a softer side, too. Rio is shown to be very caring and devoted to those she cares about, and is sweet to Kotori in particular. And, as brash as Anna is, she’s still shown to do things out of love, and Kotori even mentions her defending kids who get bullied. I think things get more complicated with Merag because Anna is a kid; she tries to be as supportive as she can be, but she just can’t comprehend it. And I think Rio is aware of it and has other coping methods for when things are too hard for Anna.I also have headcanons about Anna being a trans girl, which plays into it, too; I think Rio would be very supportive and validating to Anna, and always be willing to help her be comfortable and help build her confidence up.

Overall it’s just really good 10/10 can’t blame people for not shipping it because they don’t interact, but like… what if they did, man

Zexal Month: So close, and yet…

@zexalmonth

Not directly based off of a fairytale, but I love the “opposites attract” this ship has and wanted to emulate that via mythical creatures :’D

don’t talk to ME about gay yearning. in 2020 during lockdown i lived alone on a boat for three months. i went ashore once a day to work in a marine bio lab. we all had to access the lab at different times so we were never together & risking infection. i was alone all day every day, from my boat to the lab and back to my boat. one day a woman anchored her boat beside mine. we passed each other ashore just once at the harbor and she hit on me and invited me back to her boat. i told her i’d love nothing more but i could not risk exposure because of my weak immune system. she said it was a shame but that she understood. that night i was watering my vegetable garden i grew in 5 gallon buckets up on my roof and playing music on my speaker. “american pie” came on and she climbed up on her roof and shouted all the lyrics to every verse at me across the water and we danced together on our respective roofs. she raised anchor and moved on a few days later.

so yeah i know what it is to die a thousand deaths in an instant while your heart beats on.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
