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
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."

Yes, he is my favorite, how'd you know?
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)
Just now realizing the middle school gender envy i had (and still have) for the fanarts of godforsaken human! Bill Cipher and pretty much every newsie
I bet it was the vests. And tail coats. And suspenders. And hair. I just want to be dashing with an awesome cane to trip inexperienced children, is that so much to ask?
In spite of what I said about Warren having limited character in X-men:Apocalypse, I still really loved his introduction
The grandoise of the wing flex, the bloody angel aesthetic
The way anyone even glancing at him could recognize his strength, the proof that he was a survivor
How it almost felt like he was thriving, despite the cage
But we all know that he wasn't truly at peace
"There's nothing you can give me that I want"
