Ok, it's taken me SIX YEARS to make this. But I did it! It's done! Please watch it!

(No AI used fuck AI)

It's my first animation project, which is why it took so long. I had to learn to animate to make it. It's only a bit over 2 minutes, but I made it the best I possibly could. Please please please watch it. I am so proud of it.

It's a trailer for my first novel- a late YA scifi/superhero book.

Is it absurd to make a fully animated book "trailer" for a book that's been out for 6 years, with voice acting and commissioned music (by the fantastic @plottwiststudios) ? I mean yes. Of course. I'm not even doing this for real marketing purposes because this is a ridiculous thing to do. I don't even really think it'll sell books but the process of making it made me really really happy.

I love my fictional disaster queers, and I love my book, and when I was a kid I thought I'd grow up to be an animator. I've always loved animation, and I really, really enjoyed making something animated myself. I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Please watch it. Please share it.

If it does make you actually want to read the story, you can get it as an ebook, paperback, or audiobook. (the ebook is currently free)

I start my next animation project- a fake anime opening credits for book 3 in this series, starting next month.

Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny reinterpret this cartoon first published in German magazine Lustige Blätter in 1932:

platform decay is, at its root, largely addressing themes of trusting others' words/guidance. we see it multiple times through the book in a wide variety of ways and with a wide variety of results. here are some of the ones off the top of my head:

the mensah family trusting murderbot to get them through the torus even when they don't like their options and don't know murderbot well enough to really trust it yet. this works out for them and they have a stronger bond with murderbot and a better understanding of ayda after that

janity trusts her father with information she shouldn't have and it results in a lot of her family dead

leonide trusted murderbot with her family even though she really didn't like it, and her two kids made it out alive

the rogue secunit trusted three when three gave it the helpme.file (which put it at huge risk of being killed and put murderbot and the mensahs in more danger too) and trusted murderbot when it gave it more advice and codes for staying alive after it was free (hopefully that worked out for it, but who knows)

three trusted murderbot and art enough that even though it knew it was in trouble, it felt safe enough to ask murderbot to help it out and didn't seem overly distressed about being in trouble (just regular amounts) so it likely trusts art some too

this, of course, isn't including smaller details like the various humans helping each other out, even in the most dangerous, suspicious places, but these are the ones i remember best (i binged the book in one day, so...some parts are blurry).

You probably wondering which Dad takes care of silver in this Au, well ......
