Genndroid - If There's No Spirit, Then Don't Go Near It

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha 

Posting a few of my spoiled prince!kylo sketches~

I’ll be posting more throughout the week

how much longer??

Dance off! 

This is Kjell Lindgren. He’s a NASA astronaut who just got back from 5 months on the International Space Station. There are two reasons why this picture is hilarious:

His wife is flawless and makes bad space puns to make him do household chores.

I have that shirt. Thousands of people have that shirt. That shirt is available at Target. Which means actual astronaut Kjell Lindgren, with his wardrobe already full of NASA-issued and logo-emblazoned clothes, was at Target, saw a NASA shirt, and was like, “Yes, I am buying this because this is what I want to spend my actual astronaut salary on.”

 tl;dr NASA employs a bunch of fucking nerds

do you ever just emerge from some trees questioning your entire existence?

I like the idea that eventually, without admitting to it, Zim and Dib kinda stop trying so hard on their missions and start sticking together in a sort of ambiguous, protective friendship. They’re the best freaks. It was probably one of their freakishly deformed classmates saying that anyway.

I Am Okay, & an Apology

I would like to apologise for the hassle that was last night. For those of you who missed the tweets, I am okay. I’m not sure of what else to say.

I am overwhelmed at the response of what happened. I didn’t want this to happen. I apologise for the inconvenience that is me.

I will hopefully continue to be okay for a little while, so please do not worry about me.

So, just for clarification: I am in an okay headspace, and I feel as safe and as comfortable as I can.

Once again, I apologise for all of the hassle. I won’t mention it if there is a next time, just so no one has to go out of their way.
