I just think he's neat.
I really wanted to animate one of these scenes where Ron and Harry are goofing off, because I think it’s interactions like these that make the books fun.
Ron is my favourite character. And you can tell just from watching my other videos. The movies did my boy so dirty, this is my way of giving him the spotlight for once.
It's the Order66neverhappened AU!!!! So I had this idea for the clones that after the war and Palps' death the clones kept serving the republic but with other mansions, like humanitarian missions to provide aid to civilians etc (pretty much whatever the military does except for war? I can't explain myself very well fjskfjd i'm sorry) But they can also retire and live a well deserved normal life if they want, let's just say they are finally treated like individual humans and not numbers 😭 And I had this concept of an official ceremony uniform because I love uniforms, so I tried to come up with a decent design even tho i have ZERO knowledge of military ranks and It was hell so please forgive me if It looks horrible!!! I tried to mix the design of the US Navy, star trek and Imperials uniforms with each clone's personalized decorations fjskdj please have mercy I'm so embarassed but I tried my best, I really did 😔
+ bonus concept sketches!!!!

This is one of the very few personal things I’ve ever posted on my blog, but I wanted you all to see more into who I am (even if it’s just through a TikTok). I hope you all enjoy it, please excuse my awkwardness, I’m so camera-shy lol
(For my marvel fans, I may start working on learning an avengers song although I’m not sure yet)
Star war gals! Shakk ti from clone wars (the 2D series) is one of my favorite charcaters, and padme in that white suit …….No words
i think a big thing that disconcerts adults about learning new skills is that learning as an adult means you are very aware of how bad you are at the beginning in a way children aren’t.
i picked up the saxophone when i was 11 and played until i was about 17. by the end of it i was first chair in our highest ensemble, a district honor band player, etc. but at the beginning – and this is important – i was bad. for the first year or so, i had no rhythm, i couldn’t make my tongue line up with my fingers, i was consistently sharp, etc. etc. other kids actually made fun of me for my lack of skill.
but 11 year old me didn’t care. 11 year old me practiced, but she also thought that being able to play the pink panther made her incredible (i shudder in retrospect). i mean, i was aware i wasn’t a master, but my skill level didn’t deter me from wailing out those notes in a way that i’m sure had my band director questioning his career decisions.
right now, i’m trying to pick up the guitar. it’s a very different instrument from the saxophone, and i struggle a lot with things like strumming patterns and barre chords. and sometimes i don’t want to play, because i know i’m bad at guitar. and sometimes i beat myself up when stumbling through a poor acoustic rendition of Everybody Wants to Rule the World because it’s not how i want it to sound. and it’s made even more frustrating because i can navigate the saxophone so smoothly.
but then i remember that i have to think like a kid. i might not be the best at guitar by any stretch of the imagination, but every little bit of progress is still progress. humility is a big part of learning, but if you treat a practice session like your own private concert, it becomes so much more fun, even if you’re bad like i am. when you’re first picking up a skill, whether it be an instrument, or a language, or a fine art, no one is expecting you to be the yo yo ma of that thing. forget about how little you know about the skill and think instead about how much you have to learn – that’s fun! do your best!!
A personal project adapting my favorite Jane Austen book. This book is a huge influence on me and I remeber watching the 2005 movie and the mini series when I was really young and barely knew English. Even with only three weeks to do it, I’m glad to have done and finished it.

“Women do not simply have faces, as men do; they are identified with their faces. Men have a naturalistic relation to their faces. Certainly they care whether they are good-looking or not. They suffer over acne, protruding ears, tiny eyes; they hate getting bald. But there is a much wider latitude in what is esthetically acceptable in a man’s face than what is in a woman’s. A man’s face is defined as something he basically doesn’t need to tamper with; all he has to do is keep it clean. He can avail himself of the options for ornament supplied by nature: a beard, a mustache, longer or shorter hair. But he is not supposed to disguise himself. What he is “really” like is supposed to show. A man lives through his face; it records the progressive stages of his life. And since he doesn’t tamper with his face, it is not separate from but is completed by his body – which is judged attractive by the impression it gives of virility and energy. By contrast, a woman’s face is potentially separate from her body. She does not treat it naturalistically. A woman’s face is the canvas upon which she paints a revised, corrected portrait of herself. One of the rules of this creation is that the face not show what she doesn’t want it to show. Her face is an emblem, an icon, a flag. How she arranges her hair, the type of make-up she uses, the quality of her complexion – all these are signs, not of what she is “really” like, but of how she asks to be treated by others, especially men. They establish her status as an “object.”
