TWS - nonsexual nonexplicit nudity (it’s very brief. You can barely even tell that they’re naked), violence, blood and gore, injury, loss of limbs/body parts, amputation, death by drowning and The Mouse Trap Thing!! Nothing that isn’t already depicted in the fic but!! This time it’s visual!!! So!!!! Might be more triggering who knows!!!!! Take care of yourself!!!!!!

And SPOILERS for ALL of beloved moot intergalactic-quiche's Thought to be a Story (which I am once again telling you to read because it's good!!!)

Look at them, they movement, teehee :3

Song: Hunter (The Cacophony) - Paris Paloma

I loooooveee this sooooongggggg!!! And I felt like it fit so perfectly with this fic, the prey/predator imagery and the chorus and aaaaaaahhh... I love it. EEEEEEEE!!!

I found it through another entirely unrelated animatic (here if you want to watch it. It's good! I'm not particularly into httyd but apparently the algorithm decided I needed inspiration that day lmao), and when I find a song through an animatic it makes me extra super want to make my own animatic with it, so that really just added fuel to the fire for this.

Soooo, it's messy and kinda weird at some points--I think I fucked up my layers somehow (not at all a surprise given that I didn't name any of them and am bad at remembering how to use my animation software)--and it's not like, as polished as the last one (longer tho!!), but I DID IT!! It's FINISHED!!! In the midst of my "definitely very much supposed to be doing artfight prep and pride art" part of the month I. Made an entire three and a half minute animatic. I feel like god but that's probably just because I haven't slept all night (I'm basically nocturnal at this point) So I'm gonna go take a nap now. By the time this is posted I'll have already taken that nap because I'm writing these ramblings preemptively! See you then!!

Well I'm less sleep deprived now but leaving this in because I think it's funny lmao ^

(Teeheeee there’s actual animation in this one!! I did a little movement!!! We animated his little ears my chat!!!!!! Those little ears were basically my entire motivation for this project… I ran on hope and little ears and it paid off… woaw ☺️.)

Whoof yeah!! I'm really happy to have finally made a proper homage to this fic!!! Still my favorite isat fic of all time, it is the GOAT, I LOVE IIITTTTT (idk what tickles my brain so much about This Fic Specifically that I've had the motivation to make two whole animatics about it, but I'm not complaining!) and here's your sign to go show its author and my awesome moot @intergalactic-quiche some love!!!!! Do it!!!!!!!! Do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cue the (...more) incoherent ramblings portion of this post:

Tiny frin... little creature... you require me to do SOOO much foreshortening... istg I learned so much while making this actually--- it was fun tho although idk how much of it?? actually lands??? as foreshortening. So. Well hopefully it's like okay at least yk? But that shit is haaaarddddddd man. (...okay I lied some of the extreme perspective really wasn't.. even... necessary but... my brain said I had to and that means. I had to.)

(...Yes I know his little hat should be made to fit and stay on and not fall off and not expose his little ears because it’s a little hat made by other fairies for Them Specifically but like sue me?? I wanted to animate his little ears??? Okay???? I wanted to I wanted to see them and use them for expressiveness???? OKAY?????? I wanted to USE my VISUAL MEDIUM??? SUE ME????? (/silly and lh I don’t think anyone would actually care about this but me))

I. Didn’t reread the fic when I was compositioning this. I didn’t feel like it. So. I might’ve gotten some stuff wrong. Call it creative liberties bc I wanted fun compositions. Lots of 'em. And I didn't realize how much little siffrin just stands in the grass until I started actually doing my homework for this. And by then. Too late. Already storyboarded the whole thing by then. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AAAAAAAAAAAND we haven't made it to the King yet so!! You get CLIFFHANGER ENDIIIINGG. Ominous white light, I CHOOSE YOU!
