The Chosen One is dead, killed while facing the Dark Lord. Grief and hatred together give rise to an unlikely pair of heroes who come together to defeat the evil now taking over the world unchecked. The Chosen One’s parents are out for revenge, and there is no room for mercy anymore.

The days bleed together, time warping strangely around the rising and setting of the sun, colors leeching out of the fields you and your husband tend together.

You know it’s been three whole days since the messenger came to the door. It doesn’t feel like it though. It’s as if you’ve only blinked and your husband has gone from catching you as your knees gave out to standing beside you.

Phil’s hand is wrapped tightly around yours, colder than the shadows slowly growing all around you. His eyes are fixed on the mound of earth lying under the orchard’s oldest tree. Neither of you have spoken a word since that damned messenger left, but you didn’t need words to decide where to bury the medals they returned instead of her body. Antonia spent almost her entire childhood in the embrace of this apple tree. When she wasn’t in the tree, she was in your arms.

And now she’s gone.

She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone and somewhere far away her blood has dried on hands that never had the right to touch her.

You look up at your husband. Already his face is turning gaunt from grief, shadows pooling in the hollows of his cheeks and slipping down from his heavy brow. You will never see him smile like he did with your daughter. You will never know the pleasurecontenmentpridejoy that flooded through you each time you saw them together again. You will never have so many things all because your daughter was Chosen and you believed the King when he claimed she would not fight alone.

You let that bubble within you, that helpless rage, as you wait for your husband to look at you. Maybe he can feel the weight of your gaze, maybe he can feel the heat returning to the hand clutched in his, maybe he just knows you, knows you like you know him because he turns.

Meets your eyes.

And nods.

when ppl say flash animation pretty much always what i can tell they’re actually thinking of is what is referred to in animation practice as puppet animation, which i agree sucks like 90% of the time (there are a FEW shows that use it very masterfully, like homestar runner and one i’ll show later, though)

guess what? this is flash!

this is also flash!

THIS is puppet animation:

the funniest part is that most puppet animation isn’t even done in flash anymore. people use after effects instead because it has MUCH more sophisticated and useful tools meant specifically for puppet animation.

the technique can be used well, however. my little pony does it so fluidly it looks practically seamless.

homestar runner doesn’t focus nearly as much on fluidity, but instead on constructing strong, expressive key poses and making every frame really count.

puppet animation isn’t even limited to digital mediums. in fact, it’s not new at all.

the adventures of prince achmed is the world’s oldest surviving feature-length animated film - that’s right, predating snow white by over 10 years - and it was done entirely using puppet animation; black paper cutouts atop illuminated backgrounds. and it’s truly fucking breathtaking.

Things I believe needed to be said. It’s not the technique or the tool, it’s what the artist does with it.

Jews: I do not feel safe in [space] because of how antisemitic you have shown yourselves to be, so I’m choosing to leave.

goyim (without fail):

Not excusing it, but there's two reasons this can happen that I know of, having been on the aggressor side of this

  1. (this is far more common online) the person is being a deliberately obtuse piece of shit that wants to throw a blurry line onto what is clearly antisemitic
  2. (this is more common IRL) they actually don't know, cause antisemitism is ingrained into their upbringing so hard that it's what they know as normal

Again, this is not excusing either of them. This is just where it comes from.

the thing you're missing is the numbering.

1: "what? there's no antisemitism" 2: something that will, unfailingly, be antisemitic.

if all they said was the first thing, they might be clueless but whenever this kind of numbered list shows up, it's always bigotry. doesn't have to be antisemitism, either. every other bigotry does the same kind of listing whenever you call them out

oh, huh. I didn't really read into that "2", so I missed that part
