Final Waltz's Wilbur Scene Appreciation

How are all the good fics only on tumblr???

Anyway I fell back into my x-men phase this week and I can't stop looking for stuff on this guy, it's driving me insane

Me @ every girl in media that i grew up with: guys, it's my bi awakening ✨

Low quality appreciation post for ya boi Speedy Gonzalez

Look at this goof, he would totally cheat on his tests

Technoblade is, to this day, one of my favorite youtubers of all time. He was hilarious and driven with his goals, however silly they may have seemed. He was thorough in his planning and strategizing, which was admirable. He had a flare for the dramatic in a theatre-esque way. He was a huge dork, with his elaborate speeches, and mythological references. I remember excitedly waiting for him on his streams, although usually he was late. Putting on the potato wars videos as I did my homework.

Even after his fame, he had such great humility and respect for both his fans and coworkers. His content and humor brought smiles and laughter to many of those who watched. He inspired so many, and he left a positive impact on the world. Even when he knew his end was drawing near, he went out of his way thinking of what to say in his goodbye to us. I've never really mourned a "celebrity death" before, even with Stan Lee and Chadwick Boseman, but seeing his time reach an end, hearing that he was giving his streaming money to his siblings, hit so hard. He really was a great person until the end.

So long, Techno, Alex, and may you rest in peace. You died too young, we'll miss you, and you may be gone, but your legacy will live on in our hearts. After all, "Technoblade never dies."

June 1, 1999 - 2022

Every time SAD-ist makes a new animatic I cant help but admire the details, the lighting, the color usage, the camera-work, the transitions, and the way she makes the emotions of her scenes come to life. For "Sunsprite's Eulogy" I wanna highlight a few of my favorite tiny points-

1- the exaggeration of boy-king Wilbur, and the giant throne with the burden of adult responsibilities. He sits so small and sad on his lonesome, reminding the viewer that he was still a kid when he was crowned

2- the flawless transition between Tommy's flashback of watching Philza leave (traces of Philza's feathers in the air) and his confession to Wilbur. Perfect visual story-telling, altho I'm biased because that's my favorite scene lmao

3- the way the pacing sped up right at Mumza's death, just like the story itself. It really hit home how quickly they had to grow up and the speed feels nearly overwhelming, as though we're not ready for it

Like how Wilbur and Tommy weren't ready for it

Then the music and pacing slowing down right as Philza returns, subtly depicting how time felt like it froze for all 3 of the boys upon seeing Philza return

I stopped watching the dream smp a while ago but after the SAD-ist animation came out i had to go back. I read passerine a few nights ago, I managed to read the whole thing without crying altho i teared up a lot especially in chapters 3-5. Then i went to watch the vid and cried to all the quotes in the comment section. Even if I weren't a fan of dsmp or sbi or minecraft youtubers, I cant help but be awestruck at the beautiful writing. Passerine might be one of the best fanfictions I've ever read purely because of how it was written, probably better than some published books i've read too.

AY O WHA T

Where's the tutorial, I want this ;-;

i dm’d thcscus about a month ago asking for permission to work on a printed copy of passerine, and it's finally here!

full cover design under the cut! (also much love to @ups1gbt3f7op3dr for letting me use their art)

I read a relatively good fanfic on quotev sometime late last week- it was meant to center around Peter but honestly I ended up cheering for Warren, whom I had no interest for prior. Since then, I've been stuck with that kind, hesitant, and healing characterization of him. Even when he barely showed character in X-men:Apocalypse besides the angst that came with his cage-fighting past ._.

Final Waltz Appreciation p2

The upgrade in gradient lighting and the use of perspective (we've seen some good perspective use in Hog Hunt as well), not to mention the sun rays in Tommy's speech or the fires when Dream is backing away

The wispiness of Wilbur’s transitions, god the animation in this part and the battle was so beautifully smooth

SAD-ist’s Punz

comic panel -esque dynamic

Angri Niki and murder ready Tubbo

Technoblade :))

No lie, the realization that I can say anything on this nearly abandoned platform is relieving because I can make appreciation posts with no judgment from irl peers
