Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@ellette-giselle Well I think it’s great so far, so yep, you did your job.

@ellette-giselle

ohhhh.

By Draft 4 pretty much everything is solidified, right?

And I don’t mean “don’t make them die through the entire story,” just “don’t kill them this early in the book without a good replacement.”

Speaking of which, I don’t put swearing in my animations….lol. That’s not what I meant.

It was the animation style and the characters that made my dad think of me.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm. We’ll have to see.

What draft is this? If this is a first or second draft I could forgive you for killing them off and yeeting us into some random’s POV, cause it’s still rough and maybe you just figured out that killing them works for the story. But if it’s the final draft, almost ready for publishing, and you did that, I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I read the section! Good to have the characters remember past events.

Also, I agree with Linus, I think they’re gonna live (or at least Leon and Julian will, Aelic could die or he could live); it seems a little early to kill these characters off, especially since you’ve provided no real replacement protagonists.

@ellette-giselle not yet!! I just happened to see Linus’s reply while I was going through my emails. I’m doing animation work right now, but my “work” computer and my normal computer have the same email. I’ll read it when I’m on my other computer.

@ellette-giselle yep, that’s a perfect name for the character in the image.

It just…fits her.

@ellette-giselle That’s what I thought, it sounds like a girl’s name.

also that meme is peak humor lol

@linus-smallprint

completely off topic but Bastille is an awesome name for a character. It sounds like a female name, but I guess it could be for a guy too.

The fireman’s carry imo is harder than piggyback. I don’t care what they say.

You know story research just got real when you’re contemplating carrying your sister as many times up and down the street as you can, to test the strength vs weight in an escape scene

Stopped at :45. That was legitimately helpful

This is going to sound goofy, but I’m going to start an idea-generation session at :05.

@ellette-giselle great job on this section!!

@thearcaneaxiom I know you’re not here much but……

Remember this conversation?

Me:  I can’t believe I’m doing this.

I’m asking you an Avatar The Last Airbender question.

I remember you were telling me to watch the show like your life depended on it years ago. Still like it?

You:

-Me being chronically inactive cause I’m about to serve a…

Done at :55

Well now I have a headache and a sad scene on my hands. Tsk, tsk. Must move on to something cheerful.

Popping on to work for a while, starting at :15. I have a headache from sickness recovery, but hopefully I can write without having to look at the screen of my computer.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks, dude! I’m using a classical painting for color reference and it’s going surprisingly well. (In a simplified kind of way.)
