Hypnosis Mic - Division Rap Battle - side B.B. and M. T. C. - Chapter 10,  Part 1

A great big list of where to buy this, that, and the other thing for all price ranges and size ranges! (Please note that not all of these shops are Lolita brands and not all of them sell exclusively Lolita. This is a collection of Lolita shops as well as shops that just happen to sell a lot of things that can be used in Lolita.) This list will be updated over time to include new shops as they open. Price guide: $$$- Dress prices are generally over $200 USD $$- Dress prices are generally between $100 and $200 USD $- Dress prices are generally under $100 USD Price ranges are based on prices before shipping. Shops that do not sell dresses (or may have some clothing but focus mainly on accessories) will be based on the prices of their items in comparison to similar items of other shops. Multiple sets of price indicators means the shop tends to offer a lot of price variation.

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful.
