Parts of my 2D animation exercice at Gobelins. Didn’t have time to finish (last scene is missing), but well… It’s done.

The best romantic trope is mutual unrequited love. I don’t want any of that “Oh, I’m in love with them, I guess I’d better confess…” BS, that’s for fully functioning human beings. I want my disaster children to go through the flip flapping stages of grief crush style,

Denial: “no you don’t understand, these are platonic feelings of friendship”

Anger: “if they weren’t so hot all the time, I wouldn’t have this problem! Why dont they like me back? Why did my stupid friends introduce us?!”

Bargaining: “this is temporary, I’ll spend time apart, it’ll be fine, I can get rid of these feelings”

Depression: “shitshitshitshitshit this will ruin our friendship oh GODS WHAT AM I DOING?? I don’t deserve them! I’m useless at feelings!”

Acceptance: “okay. I have a crush. This is fine. I’ll be forever alone, and pine for my one true love, but I’ll be fine with their friendship.”

And they are brought together with some unforseen catalyst. It’s the height of romance.

Real, pressure-responsive halftone painting is now possible in Photoshop, with my new Halftone brushes. 

look i know we all love to make fun of amity for being a flustered idiot around luz but after sitting on wilw for a while i just want to take a moment to appreciate that those scenes simply exist in the first place. for the longest time, all of the representation for wlw relationships in media was either oversexualized, full of conflict and melodrama, or forced to remain non-explicit and hidden in subtext until the show’s finale. now, we have a 14-year-old girl, explicitly confirmed to have a crush on her friend, another girl, in season one, and she acts just the way you’d expect any other 14-year-old to act around their crush: like a flustered idiot. amity and luz are just two dumb kids who both happen to be girls that are able to navigate their feelings and develop their relationship in a relatively natural and healthy environment and i am so happy for the kids that will now be able to grow up seeing this normalized in a tv show that they love.

“How arw you paying for photoshop” im not LMAO
