Harrassment

 i still have a feeling im getting harrassed by someone i shouldnt have tried helping last winter. she seemed to be putting on a facade that i couldn't read the lines through. what i do online is my business. if you are uncomfortable, i dont see why you are forcing yourself to be around me. i refuse to sympathize or empathize with you or any of your followers, so please leave me alone. thank you. 

i am literally begging for peace. stop with your creepy obsession over me.

then, i got falsely reported on discord. i hope i dont lose my account.

i just wanted to relax :I

The Essence of Animation (specifically anime)

 Hopefully writing this will make me a better animator magically-

*ahem*

So to understand a complicated animation's process, here is the breakdown.

1. storyboard

a static sketch of what is happening, and is usually accompanied with a description of what is supposed to be happening. so i suppose it's one (1) comic panel.

2. sketch

the artist tries their best to sketch out the movements of the storyboard as a animation.

3. lineart

a cleanup artist draws the lineart over the sketch and erases the sketch layer, or makes it not visible.

4. coloring

a colorist (not the racist kind) colors in the lineart by referring to the reference photos of the character.

5. extra tidbits

the camera layer is controlled to focus on specific aspects of the animation. 

there can also be extra things added like sparkles or something.

i learnt animation in high school so i guess this is based off my own process.

hope this was interesting and helpful to read or something

bai bai

All Modern Magical Girl Fans do is Complain

 I had the unfortunate experience of watching another modern magical girl fan's video of their fluent Yapanese, talking about how all of the toys made for Ojamajo Doremi basically suck eggs because they didn't last 20 years to their liking.

Why are people so stupid?

God forbid that Toei Animation DID NOT MAKE ANY MERCHANDISE WHATSOEVER like for a lot of other franchises I'm a fan of. I felt like this person was deeply ungrateful because they are ignorant to the cultural understanding of why they chose these designs for the toys, and were too stupid to even consider the fact the toy might not look as advertised, because you're buying it fucking over a decade later or so. THEY STILL HAD THE AUDACITY TO COLLECT ALL OF THEM DESPITE HAVING A CONSISTENT ANNOYANCE/ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY.

I almost lost brain cells if I did not learn the emotion of annoyance. I might become a magical girl youtuber for spite now.. there's only one problem. Magical girl shows and things are deeply sentimental to me and personal in that fact. I could easily say I grew up on it so I don't want to be too vulnderable. I could easily copy her content in my own youtube channels, but I find those kind of videos too revealing about myself. It would be fun if I had a significant other to make these videos with, or to hang out with while I copy the concepts in the videos but not really publishing them or something. 

A lot of these girls are really vulnerable online. 

I still think that youtuber is fucking stupid though.

That's it.

Island Journal :: Entry four

 Hi.

Or, should I say, Aloha, now?

Uhm. 

Ruby moved in. 

When I entered her house, it immediately gave me a whiplash nostalgia of who I used to be. Moki, or moro. When I was fourteen to fifteen years old, dating my ex, and how he perceived me. Her room almost exactly how I set up mine! 

I'm really happy that Ruby is in my island because her basic nature is adorable. She felt comfortable enough to start sitting down and reading a book as soon as I entered. I hope we can be the bestest of friends, my little gem.

I was able to update the town flag. It's a hibiscus flower with some extra aesthetic designs around it. Sorry, no photos (for now).

I don't know if I'll be able to invite people to my island online due to my Yandere Simulator themed area that will be coming up as soon as I unlock the design kiosk. I have seen horror themed islands where murder was alluded to, though.. 

TBH, what is one innocent way you can use a Iron Wand? XD

If you want to be my friend on Nintendo Switch, please leave your friend code here in the comments. I'm Freya.

I just changed my town tune to "Invader Invader" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

I listen to her music because it reminds me of better times. 

Anyways.

I was able to change it to something from Oshare Majo Love & Berry, thanks to someone on the Bell Tree forums!

I visited two islands today.

Wildflower, and the player was Amy. Her town tune was cool and she visited my island as well. She complimented my dance floor which was very kind of her.

Then, I visited Hawaii! I'm grateful to visit some form of that state, lol. The layout was really cool, and Jake (the owner of the island, it appears) was really welcoming and friendly. There was also a carnival exhibit that really felt realistic due to the overlapping of music and sound effects. Exploring that town revived the spark of interest I had in the series initially that I thought could only be found in New Leaf, so thank you to Jake and Amy for these new experiences.

sugarbunnies watch diary

 so i tried my best to sanitize my watch because i didn't wash it before. i tried my best to avoid getting water in it because i paid a hefty price for it, and this is out of print. unfortunately it's really glitchy but seems to turn into a angel number device. meaning, only showing numbers that have significant meaning. so it is what it is, but it hurt my soul a bit to see it as non-functioning.

maybe my ken-kun is possessing it. 😈

Animal crossing STRESS

 Ugh. New horizons seemed to attract the most obnoxious groups of people online. the people who make immature jokes, the people who are proud of knowing next to nothing about the characters' names or lores, and more.

i tried to watch a video that advised me on what to do when im bored and i regret giving him ad revenue money. he sounded so condescending in the video, as if all of his viewers are ignorant little kids that think they know everything. that video was terrible. the editing was impressive and memorable, though.

i don't know what it is with so many ac:nh content creators. they practically sacrificed their own audience from their own stupid insecurities and now it's so difficult to find people in their right minds to play with. so many people have abandoned their island or reset their hard work. i'm a private person at best so i don't know if i'll make acnh videos, i planned some in the past. 

that video was terrible because he was just forcing anyone who didn't know what to really do to become a completionist. the viewer would get overwhelmed as they're going on and reset their hard work and may be forced to completely forget the game. NO.

i hate that youtuber. 

other youtubers, i can't stand due to my own mini irritations to how they act and speak.

i hate a ton of people who got this game for attention, but the game honestly felt empty eye candy when i first got used to it. that's it, really.

Island Journal :: Entry 3

 Hi.

So, I made some progress in my island but I find some frustration bubbling up at the surface. I feel irritated that even though I plotted three houses for my future villagers, I must look for furniture that they need surrounding their house and inside of their house and craft it. I wish they can just move in, already. 

Someone named Doc moved in, so that was interesting.

I'm excited to have a lot of free time after I did all the necessary basic tasks for this island to thrive, like before. I need to mine the money rocks, then shake all the trees, keep the oranges safe in storage and then sell excess stuff on Nookazon or to the Nooklings. 

There's not a lot to really write today.

Maybe I'm just in love with aesthetically pleasing towns, because I find reading blog posts on other people's progress incredbily boring, and I feel like watching speed build videos are a parasite tumor to your brain because they are purposefully not adding enough effort to steal your ideas or something as you watch their videos. I can only watch these types of videos when I'm completely finished, but even then.

I was able to get a free Sunflower rug from a kind person on Nookazon. I was also able to get many gifts as well. My heart is leaping! Thank you~

They fufilled one of my wishlist items, which was to get a bug cage.
