It’s been five months since I animated anything for fun, and I’m so happy I got to animate something that I wrote. Thank you to @themornal and @8edhead for providing the voice work for this clip, you guys knocked it out of the park and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out.
Also if you notice that the character look different from how I used to animate them, these are completely different rigs. I love working with them!
My birthday is next week and I have $3.29 in my bank account if anyone wants to send me a little cash 😙👉👈 also if I don’t buy ibuprofen in the next hour or so I’m going to die
Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.
But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron…
I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.
If they win a Sumo tournament they get a giant macaron.
There’s a lot of notes on this post I made, but I’m getting commissions done and ❗️❗️ I’ll need another bump of funds to move out of state!!! ❗️❗️
Hiya, I’m Archer and I’m asking for a bit more patience and time to get commissions finished. Please consider contacting me in regards to any graphic design, illustration, and character design needs !! This is on a first-come, first-serve basis so get your place in the queue !!
✨Traditional commissions will be prioritized ✨ so that I can ship them out before I move out on the 25th, so if you’d like art fast and IRL, contact me ASAP !!
Rental space that is affordable and safe is super hard to come by in summer nowadays, and I’m reaching out to out-of-state housing if necessary.
I appreciate everyone’s time and help with boosting, and I hate to beg but please share this updated version of my commission post with more info !!! Thank you all for the support you’ve given me over the past few months, I’ll never forget your kindness and I hope I can have just a little bit more while I find a full-time job and get officially back on my feet 😭

EDIT: MORE INFO IN MY #UPDATES TAG !!!! I will have to work on getting rent money later, I literally don’t have the money to do that, commute, and eat, so I’m staying in a shelter. Anything helps !!!
Concept: financially struggling biology student discovers that the reason her monthly data bill is so high is because an ant colony in her basement has been stealing her wi-fi.
“I’m not angry,” she says from the top of the basement stairs. “Just disappointed.”
Below, a million hard exoskeletons glitter in the light streaming through the open door. The floor is completely covered in them, the hard-packed dirt rounded and molded into their home.
With a sigh, she starts down the stairs. “Don’t you swarm at me. I give you food, I give you shelter and this, this is the repayment I get! Where’s the Queen?”
There’s the sound of insects rushing past each other and a black mound begins to form. It grows higher and higher, moving slowly towards the bottom step, until it’s at her waist. Slowly, the top layer of workers peels back to reveal the Queen in all her glory.
The Queen is easily the length of her hand, glittering and gorgeous in the faint light. She had been the one to make the Queen last semester as part of her final project. Her professor had given her an A on the condition that she destroy the Queen and her genetically enhanced children, but, instead, she’d taken them home.
“Look at this,” she says, thrusting her bill in front of the Queen’s tiny head. “I can’t afford this! I don’t–where did you all even get computers?”
The ants surge guiltily, producing a mac that looks very, very familiar.
“You stole my ex’s laptop.” It’s not a question. “That’s–alright, that’s pretty funny. I’m not going to take it away, relax, but you all need to figure out how to pay for this, okay? I can’t feed you and entertain you on my stipend, okay?”
The Queen regally nods. There’s a shift in the air as she communicates with the others and another mound of ants forms and pushes forward. This one opens to reveal a plastic bag filled with dirt-covered jewelry and a handful of…ancient coins?
She takes the bag, staring blankly at it. “Okay…I’m not going to ask. I don’t want to know. I’ll invest in better internet and pretend that you guys aren’t about two seconds from opening a chop shop or crime ring or whatever in my basement.”
The ants wave agreeably.
She turns to go and pauses halfway up. “I have to ask. What do you guys even need internet for?”
The mac flickers on to show Jessica Jones paused halfway through episode six.
“Fair enough,” she says and goes to google local pawn shops that don’t ask too many questions
If that’s too much, the most important thing to highlight is below
If you’re an estranged adult child and you’re looking for a way to get your parents to hear what the problem is, I’m sorry, but you have your answer already. They don’t want to know. They may be incapable of knowing. There are no magic words that will penetrate their defenses.
The good news is that you’re free. You can stop now. If you need permission, I’ll give it to you: You are hereby allowed to stop trying to get through to your willfully deaf parents.
