[sexting] There is an important distinction that must be drawn between the words dissection and vivisection, a distinction that would appear to be lost on you. Your purpose was to listen and yet at every turn you have pried, you have prodded and you have interfered. Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt? And still you harass. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settled on a sleeper's tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this. When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth.

Some people have been interested in how this was made - I am extremely bad at explaining but I’ll try to give a quick rundown!
First I draw the individual parts in a 2d art program, in this case procreate. I put an overlay texture that gives it some grittiness. As you can see I separated out the parts I planned to move a little bit, like the top and bottom jaw, eyes, wings, and body segments.
Each part of the texture is applied to a 2d plane through uv maps with the exception of the halo, which is 3d modeled.
The 2d planes are layered in a way that will create shadow when a light is added and avoid overlaps when rendered. This also really lends to the papercut aspect!
Animation for this particular piece is done through something called “shape keys” where blender will interpolate movement based on me slightly moving the individual parts.
I created several keys for different areas of motion. When all are combined it creates a nice effect. Some parts move smoother than others - this is due to me setting some keys to be “constant” instead of “bezier smoothed”.
(Oh also the halo is just rotated on an axis - 3d go brrrrr)
After rendering all the frames into a gif, I then threw it into a video editor to make the colors more contrasted and to add slight glitching and behold! Final product!
Hopefully that helps out some for people who want to try it. Or for people who are just curious!
had a nightmare so fucked up that at one point my brain was like "okay don't even look at the screen rn but just know this is whats happening" like oh okay thanks. like maybe don't do the fucked up thing in the first place but thanks I guess.
(flirting) babygirl you are so ouroboros shaped
(voice of a man invariably alienated from the human experience): Hey guys
I'm not afraid of needles in the normal way. I'm perfectly fine getting a shot or whatever. I'm afraid of needles in the COOL way: inexplicably flinch whenever I see a still image or video of them pointing towards me
oh so there's a ghost in my discord dms now huh
Death is a natural part of life. Not your death though. Your death is gonna be super fucked up.
wormless behavior from some of you. absolute lack of dirt and burrowing. rethink
