Introductions Pause to read A short continuation of my last post in this little series We get some info on where these characters live and a bit abt the type of place it is Names are exchanged and invitations are proposed
Goodness! I keep forgetting to share my art on here! Anywho here is something I am working on over on tiktok Description First Meeting An intro to an au series I am working on based on @evinthvoices videos/audio My OC Ayerna stumbles on Wally while on a walk in the woods. She is instantly drawn to him and decides to join his song
Pspspsps here’s some more art of Corpse Puppet Wally 👀
Also lets just say that when Wally died he had... trouble keeping himself together 🪓
tbh i kinda thought the implication as to why we never see any AU versions of Sonic or Shadow in the prisms was bc the worlds in the prisms were worlds where neither of the two were ever born, or smth like that
It’s defo cuz Sonic himself smashed the shot out of the prism and Shadow ported himself before he could be effected by the shattering (tho the way he got knocked out I think was implying some versions of himself got made now and we might see that in the next eps)
Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling. I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head
maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍
i think as adults it's our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least
Small reminder for my Texas/southwest peope. Going to be expecially nasty next week. Stay hydrated, stay cool, keep an eye on your neighbors.
Popping this back up, since it’s getting hot here, and won’t get any cooler ‘til October. Stay hydrated, friends!
For my fellow southerners!!

i loOVE FRENCH SO MUCHADUG2RFUURGG HE'S SO REALLY SILLY!!! 💥💥
Sometimes I look at a shipping post from another fandom I'm in with such concern like "would it be cringe of me to share this to my blog?" And the other side of my brain responds to that with the most outraged "on your DCA blog? On your Five Nights at Freddy's character x reader blog? The blog where you draw and talk about romancing a FNAF jester? That blog? That blog? You're asking about that blog? Tha
I think about Sun and Moon's original versions a LOT, and I don't get why people say they're not expressive!
Or perhaps, I do, and I just wanna ramble. Anyways! Big ol warning for lots of talking, some fursuit gifs and analyzation of body movement.
So, they have flat, immobile faceplates, right? Technically, yes!some argue that this makes them immediately inert and expressionless and opt to enhance their expressions. And this is a-okay! Do what you like!
But as someone who used to be a costumer, and wears a fursuit on occasion,
(Sorry, I love this gif so much)
BUT! When in a mascot costume, fursuit, or any other costume with a mask over one's face, the performer has to learn how to move in order to portray the emotions necessary for character engagement with the audience! Whether it's exaggerated head bobs, using your hands to talk, or making everything a bit of a spectacle, even the way you tilt your FACE can affect how you look.
Even MUPPETS do this with their limited range of expression. And we can easily draw those conclusions of how the boys were programmed to act in canon!
Take Sun's default animation in the daycare, just standing there.
It's very obvious here what he's trying to portray, and who his programmed audience is- little children! When costuming around little kids, you wanna use big gestures, and get on their level because you can seem HUGE AND SCARY to them! You wanna get down towards the ground, make big sweeping cartoon motions, and make sure all your movements are ROUNDED- not jabbing, sharp, or sudden- so that the kid isn't ever surprised, but rather delighted by your performance as a costumer. I'll show you an example by the amazing performer, Temba the Bat! (Made by Toxicoon, I believe.)
Big sweeping motions, slow without being too spooky, and generally friendly motions while swaying the head! Looks kinda similar right?
Another point is, though, these exaggerated motions don't really... turn off when feeling other things. Sun and Moon don't have a customer service mode, and that's WILD to me that their programming requires them to act like this all the time. Exhibit B: Sun's pain in the transformation scene.
He's making such exaggerated motions and movements to INDICATE he is in pain or holding something back. He's gripping his face like something is trying to come out of it, and even dramatically falls backwards to indicate a loss of control in his body. Whether the way the fall looks so cartoonist was intentionally programmed in, I couldn't tell you.
And then... there's Moon.
This is SO cartoon villain sequel, isn't it? The hands tapping delicately on the surface, the exaggerated head tilt, all of it is so wildly exaggerated in such a smooth way to let you know "Ah! I'm in danger! Great!"
And yet... he still is low to the ground. Still in that pose of going after someone SMALL. Performing for someone small. His evilness is almost completely exaggerated and, dare I say, fabricated by his programming. Of course, the virus probably had something to do with it but LIKE! Look at that range of motion!
Idk what the point of all this is, I just wanna say: it's totally understandable to make the boys super duper expressive in the artistic, flat 2d styles i see a lot!
But man I do hope someone draws them biblically accurate while expressing something else because that would be hilarious to see Sun throwing a temper tantrum by banging his fists on the ground and flailing while his face is just
:D
these pictures of slenderman at dashcon will forever be like my favorite thing ever
