This is a nice chart! Lipsync is one of my not-so-secret passions. I also hate front mouths. They’re harder to inbetween, I find, and they’re not used nearly as frequently. Here’s some ¾ mouths I made.
These are the basic shapes I was taught, and I use. Standard lipsync shapes;;
You have your closed mouth to open, to clenched teeth, to oohs, and your (often optional) F, L, and TH mouths.
Tips!
- Your top teeth don’t move; I mean, stylistically it happens sometimes (Gravity falls does it fairly well, as much as I haaaaate that), but your lipsync will prolly look better if they don’t.
- My clenched teeth (SH) mouth is always a bit wider than my biggest AH mouth. It adds variation and helps your shapes blend more nicely. Conversely, my biggest AH mouth is narrower than my SH mouth and my closed (M) mouth.
- My L mouth is a tiny bit more closed than my biggest AH, and not as closed as my second biggest AH. It fits between them nicely so that if you have to go from an L to an AH mouth, like you would for the word “Like” or “Love”, it doesn’t pop or look weird.
- My R and oo mouths move forward on the face a bit, it adds dimension, and if you leave it all in the same place and have the mouth just shrink into a circle it miiiight look weird.
Aaaaand I think that’s it? Never go from a SH mouth to a TH mouth, it’ll pop and look weird…uhhh; Also! It’s alright to skip some shapes;; So below is a lipsync I made using the above shapes;
It’s clear what they’re saying, the mouth is moving nicely, but there’s only one problem. Veeeery rarely do they give you enough time to use all the mouths you want to make it move nice. Voice actors talk fast to fit everything in and holycrap do we hate love them for it.
So here’s a fast one.
Those two gifs should start at the same time, and notice that the second one stops while the first one is still saying “doing”. I not only cut out the mouth between the biggest AH and the clenched teeth, but I combined the word “Are you” into, like, 3 shapes. I also trimmed some inbetweens overall. The lipsync still reads, though! You can still tell what they’re saying even without audio (which would help it a bit, haha~) Cutting out that stuff ended the lipsync a whole 14 frames sooner (more than half a second!). It doesn’t sound like much, but with 24 frames per second and dialogue moving at the speed of light, you don’t have time to dilly dally. This isn’t a preschool show;; Aaaaaand I think that’s it. Liiiipsyyyyyync~~~ Now to go back to actual work and stop talking about things most ppl don’t care about;
I AM CRYING TEARS OF RELIEF BECAUSE I NEED THESE REFERENCES FOR MY SENIOR FILM’S DIALOGUE~
Reblogging this again because I’ve been using this reference for the last 2 months to help with my lip-synch in my film, and I’ve just tested one scene where I used the reference…And my mouth-drawings have improved tenfold ever since.
To the OP who made this chart…I wish I could hug you right now because you helped make my film look much better. c8
This post makes its rounds every so often;; I’m glad people are getting use out of me not wanting to do the actual work I had!
My Korean classmate, who is still learning English, lent her jogging pants to my male classmate. He wore it over his jeans. When she wanted the pants back during class, she yelled "TAKE OFF MY PANTS"
Theo Nott - Slytherin House, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry, 1991-1998
If you were actually immortal, you could get trapped under rubble and be stuck for potentially centuries.
That's pretty much what happened to that one character in Old Guard, but she was deep in the ocean.

Seggesting a character might be ace.
Creator: Ah a nice plot with cute characters and friends :)
Viewers: Those two characters are banging right?
Creator: ..W-what?
Viewers: They gotta be banging every show has that kinda stuff
Creator: ..No but i’ll try to write in a romantic relationship if it’s needed for a good story
Viewers: … I am going to write about this character banging literally everyone that they talked to.
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

On a different mental health note from my earlier post, I created some affirming lock screens if anyone would like to download and use them. In times like these, especially when our phones can be a source of negative news and distressing thoughts, I wanted to create some lockscreens/backgrounds that had affirming, validating words on them. These are all quotes from members of the DissociaDID system on YouTube (I believe just Nin and Jade). I felt it was only fitting, as their words helped me feel valid in my own struggles on my darkest days.
I hope these help people feel a little better, especially those of you who are struggling with mental health and trauma responses right now. I’m sending my best wishes to all of you.
I reblog this every time I see it. I just cant
THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM
Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe, thanks in particular to Jules Verne.
He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.
By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US) really *was* baffled by all of this.
Reblogging because I never saw that part before!
Chamomile - Hermione Granger/Theo Nott
for @theforgottenweasley 385 words Rated T Chamomile - Meet-cute while waiting somewhere
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The queues at Gringott’s were never a short affair. Hermione actively avoided having to come in to the bank at all ever since they’d come out with the cards attached to the accounts. Much like muggle debit cards, actually, but much larger because that’s usually how things in the Wizarding World worked. But she could safely stow it in her bag or bewitch it to be smaller, so it was no matter.
But there was another sort of problem with hers and she needed it fixed. The only ones who could do that worked here at Gringott’s, so here she was. In the seemingly never-ending queue, taking up the entirety of her day off.
“So do you think the queue’s actually this long or is it bewitched to look long to keep all the wix away who don’t have genuine problems with their accounts?” a voice asked from behind her.
She chuckled. “One has to wonder.”
“If so, I applaud them their ingenuity. They must not have to put up with many silly problems.”
“It depends. The wix who have silly problems might be very tenacious,” she replied.
“Is that you? Are you tenacious?”
She turned and looked into his dark eyes. “What do you think?”
“Oy, Granger, didn’t know that was you.”
She smirked and shrugged. “I had my hair dreaded, so it’s not so insane anymore. It’s not your fault you didn’t recognize me.”
“Do you recognize me?”
“Nott, correct?” she asked, primly not turning around again as the queue took a half a step forward.
“Nott, but you are correct,” he replied and she chuckled despite herself. It was just the sort of witty half-joke that she loved.
“How many times do you get to use that line?” she asked.
“Not nearly as much as one might think,” he said. And the queue shifted forward three more steps as a few wix got fed up and stepped out of it. “Say, would you fancy a coffee after we finish up here?”
“Might be too late in the day for coffee by the time we get out of here.”
“Too right. A nightcap, then?”
She laughed again, turning to look at him, narrowing her eyes as she scrutinized him. “Alright.”
“Jolly good,” he said bluntly. “Something to look forward to in eight hours.”
From a scene of a fic that just makes me speechless in every chapter, Remain Nameless by @heyjude19-writing
The whole scene wouldn’t leave my head until I drew it! I finally drew a proper comic after so long! Best inspiration I’ve had in a while!
The members of the "I am bisexual in every way except canon" club
This is edited, because I screwed up and put Elenour from the Good place on here and people in the comments told me she is canon bi. So I replaced her with Stiles. I honestly have no idea how I forgot him, since he is a poster child for fanon bisexuals.
You can argue that the opposite of assassin is dickdickout
No. Just- no
