Before The Anger- Episode 36, "Apologies."

My buddy is opening commissions!!!! You should check them out if you are interested 😁😁!

dm me if you’re interested! I have plenty of slots open :-)

Before the Anger- episode 16, "Vacation"

Note- Siqua casually coming up with complex percentages like its not an incredible show of genius. Also, Alphys is angry something other than Gaster! Its not a common event, since Alphys tends to avoid anger (she just like me fr)

They use military time! Personally I think we all should just start using military time.. its much simpler but that's off topic lol

New animation just dropped!

I wanted to practice lip syncing, so I took a short bit of a song I'm working on and made a little animation! Its very sketchy and unfinished, but "clean" wasn't my goal anyway. This was actually a very helpful practice!

If you know anything about my music (for the majority of you, probably not lol) you might recognise this tune. I like to reuse bits of my music in other songs as a call-back, at least when its in a series or album. In this case, this is Sans's song, but I used some of Nimiee's theme "No Exception" because these two interact a lot in this song. (I'm currently in the process of making theme songs for all of the characters in Before the Anger)

This is nowhere near the final version of the song, by the way! I'm just a very slow composer.

Notes below cut :)

Im still new to animation and, despite producing music for almost 2 years now, have yet to make something that sounds professional lol. I am a trained soprano 1 with a naturally alto-ish range, but I tend to make songs with a higher range. Therefore, this tenor range song is quite a challenge 😅

In this animation, some of the original lyrics change meaning. Near the end of Nimiee's verse, the lyrics change to red, and instead of Toriel being the one to help, it is Asriel. Of course, Sans is his normal pessimistic self. But, instead of calling Nimiee a stupid child- like he usually does- the scene changes to show a mirror. Tsk tsk. Are we projecting, Sans?

Most of the themes so far have two versions; a casual, lighthearted one; and a heavy, sad one. However, I don't think I will be giving Sans a lighthearted version of his song. What will I be doing with these themes? Possibly... a comic dub...?

Before the Anger side story:

"((She had no Appetite.))"

This is the first relevant side story in BTA. It follows Chara as she first entered the underground and her fear of monsters.

Click "keep reading" to read the full side story :)

(1) Chara had no appetite. She stared at Toriel in the kitchen, who hummed a song and bounced on her feet as she crossed to the stove. The same confusion every time. Chara counted the seconds it took for Toriel to remember that her fire magic no longer worked. Exactly six. Toriel laughed to herself and turned to Chara. “Hey, sweetie, would you like to help me in the kitchen?” Chara knew exactly what was going through Toriel’s mind. “Family bonding”

(2) Chara decided to humour Toriel and joined her in the kitchen. She even pretended to smile and said, “Sure, Mother.” and seeing Toriel’s face light up made Chara’s smile genuine. What a stupid woman. Chara stood beside Toriel, looking up into her piercing eyes. Being this close to such a creature made Chara’s hands tremble, so she made a tight fist. 

(3) “Here, child, you can cut up the carrots!” Toriel offered Chara a knife with a big smile. Chara’s hands felt ice cold; the knife, the sharp edges catching the light; Toriel’s disgusting, monstrous grin; her claws grasping the handle. Chara raised a hand to her mouth to cover her disgust and rushed out of the kitchen without a word. Toriel watched her leave, a confused tilt in her head.

(4) That night, Chara didn’t eat. Or the next, or the night after that. Toriel and Asgore were concerned, but being that they didn’t know much about humans, they had assumed Chara had a different diet. And in any case, the other monsters were getting curious about Chara’s existence and wanted answers, so they arranged a QnA at the castle- with Chara’s permission, of course. 

(5) Today was the day of the QNA. Chara calmed her nerves and looked out on the crowd full of horrible creatures. She had no appetite. Her stomach ached. Her hands twitched. Her mouth curled into a sickening grin. As she approached the monsters, Asriel finally caught up to her side, out of breath. “Are you excited?” Asriel asked, an innocent squeak in his voice. Chara stroked his soft ear. 

(6) Suddenly, Chara felt puny and defenseless against the towering, snarling, grinning monsters. They clawed for answers. Chara’s own breath suffocated her. She could hardly feel her feet as they sprinted toward any semblance of safety. But every corner was unknown, full of terrible surprises. Chara collapsed, finally, on a secluded ledge in Waterfall, curled into a ball of sobs and fear.

(7) Chara heard something behind her and jolted to attack. The second before her fist was about to land, she pulled away. It was only Asriel. Asriel was shaken, but continued toward her anyway, his eyes large with surprise. “Why’d you run away, Chara?” Chara caught her breath, soothed by his childish voice. 

(8) “It’s hard to… to be the only one of your kind in a big, scary new world. Can you imagine if you landed in a world with only humans, no friends?” Chara explained. Asriel paused for a moment, then sat down in front of her. “You have me! We are friends, right?” Asriel held his breath as he waited for Chara’s response. Chara smiled and pet Asriel, “Yeah. It’s just you and me against the world, buddy.”

(9) Toriel searched for Chara and Asriel, the worst in her mind. She worried this would happen, with Chara skittish behavior around other monsters. Finally, Toriel found them in Waterfall. When she asked what happened, Asriel stood up and said “Chara and I wanted to go for a swim.” Toriel furrowed her brow. Asriel was only six years old, he had never lied to her before. Asriel clutched Chara’s sleeve with a nervous smile.

😈

I love when people notice small details like that, or come up with their own theories. THIS MADE MY DAY RAAAAKTMFORCKNASXK

Not art related, but I just wanted to Point something out

BTA is by: @bri-jo-g

These Images are really similar and kinda ironic since these 2 are currently enemies/frienimies in BTA.

Both are Winking

Both have a raised left arm

Both have the same smile

Both have the same expression

And Both are making seem like they are the best

Knowing BTA, I’d say this is intentional

Before the Anger, episode 12- "Quality Time"

Note- despite Gaster's high IQ, he does not have very good advice. Especially when it comes to parenting.

Double upload!

Before the Anger- episode 13, "What Next?"

Note- This is the first "plot-building" episode, since this comic follows a somewhat slice-of-life style (where they end up in a different situation every episode). I will say, however, the slice-of-life shortness of it fades away near the end of the season, but it comes back in season 2

Before the Anger- episode 58, "Liar."

Alphys does not like to lie unless it's to save her life. Therefore, this moment is a very big deal for her.

Sorry for posting so late! It was a busy day 😅

This episode was the first in a very long time that I've written and drawn it. What I've been doing is using old scripts but this one is totally new! Alphys is in her depression fit. I wish my depression fits was as fashionable as hers...

Before the Anger- episode 48, "Looooong Story (pt. 4)"

((Chara heard something behind her and jolted to attack. The second before her fist was about to land, she pulled away. It was only Asriel. Asriel was shaken, but continued toward her anyway, his eyes large with surprise. “Why’d you run away, Chara?” Chara caught her breath, soothed by his childish voice.))

This, coincidentally, was posted around Valentine's day! I didn't make a special for it because I forgot, but let's pretend this was the special.

A very long episode today!! Do y'all mind or should I keep making them shorter?
