Before The Anger Profile: CHARA

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, episode 6- "Wait, Chara!?"

Note- First mention of Chara! Her story will unfold over time..

Also, pay attention to the backgrounds. The different textures represent different rooms, which doesn't matter much right now, but later some rooms will have significance. The room they are currently in is called "the lab".

Welcome! This is my intro post?

For years, I had abandoned the majority of social medias because of how heavy it felt. Then, I started Tumblr because it seemed more lighthearted than other social media. I am happy to say I was right! 😁

I LOVE spam likes, asks, (art? 👀), mentions, comments, etc. PLEASE I feed on it like a rabid squirrel. I love human interaction, so make sure to @ me in any media you make about my stuff so I can see it!!

I'm not open for commission right now, but I hope to be some day!

What I post:

Art, original songs, books, and comics for my stories. (Also working on some comic dubs)

What are my stories?

UnderAnger. An Undertale AU that follows a little girl named Nimiee when she falls underground. Despite the tales her father told her, monsters don't have magic. Instead, they rely on aggression and weapons. (UA has VERY extreme themes of gore, child abuse, kidnapping, torture... Just read it with caution, please.) This story is currently ongoing and posts whenever I feel like it.

Before the Anger. It's a prequel to UnderAnger, but it's pretty stand-alone so there's no need the read the original if you don't want to. (BTA is not as intense as UA, but it certainly has very dark moments like child abuse, genocide, trauma, etc. (the full list of warnings is on the Table of Contents).) POSTS EVERY THURSDAY.

Mr. Sleepy: ask anything. Its a FNaF AU on my side blog that follows Chica and the others as they try to escape the daycare they've been trapped in for thirty years. It's an "ask anything" comic (pls read it ik i sound desperate but i love it so much) (Since this is a FNaF AU, it has the usual warnings: murder, possession, manipulation, starvation, and other FNaF related things.) POSTS AFTER EVERY ASK-- CURRENTLY ACCEPTING ASKS!!

I'm thinking about also starting another UT series called SoapTale. It's a comedy well, I try my best...

These are just the relevant ones to my blog. I have the full list of all my stories with the links to them on this post.

About me:

(THE 2nd FNAF MOVIE COMES OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!)

Series you might know me from: Regina Ashlyn, Down to the Bone but Papyrus is a Middle Schooler, Virus Tears, and Mischievous Adventures of Golden and Shadow

My other socials:

WEBTOON (has a bunch of old comics. Read those with caution THEY ARE SO BAD)

YouTube (posts original music, comic tips, animations, and pretty normal stuff)

Bandlab (its a music platform, I mean, what else would I post there?)

Wattpad (yes, I know the implications... I'm not freaky ok!? There's just not a lot of writing platforms 😫😓)

Hope y'all enjoy!

Before the Anger- episode 37, "The 'Complicated' History"

I love this episode! All the little details make my nerd heart happy. This episode has set the most timeline out of all the others so far!

((Elaine and Papyrus had gotten to know each other. Months had passed. They were close, like an older, responsible brother and a found sister. Papyrus wasn’t what Elaine had expected. He didn’t try to be a “father figure”, but his presence brought the same comforting energy anyway. But there was one question Elaine had: why would Papyrus quit being a royal guard?))

Uh oh! Some spoilers for Papyrus's future?

Table of contents

I'm sorry... I made art for something that isn't going to happen for a long while in my comic. Grillby is in Before the Anger, but it is mainly his daughter that makes any appearances. They are mainly only for comedy purposes (his daughter is also named Grillby.)

I like how dramatic this drawing is for a non-serious bit. Such minor characters deserve awesome art.

Read my comic here :)

Side Stories:

What are ((side stories))? They are short, written texts at the end of Before the Anger episodes to give us more information/ enhance the storyline. They give us narratives from the past, future, or just general stories that wouldn't fit in the main storyline. The ((side stories)) often stretch over the span of many episodes before they resolve.

((The Monster with No Name))

((She had no Appetite.))

Grillby, noo...

In this picture, she's showing them how to say "asshole". Papyrus is trying to copy her (success rate... not looking good) and Sans is just watching and learning. Ah yes, such good influences the skeleton brothers have...

This is Grillby IV as she appears in BTA: a teenager. She is sixteen. Technically, this is not her first job, since she helps her dad (Grillby III... It's easier to keep naming heirs "Grillby" than changing the name of the restaurant) at the restaurant. But this is the first one she's being paid for!

All of the Grillbys are proficient in sign language, since fire can't talk. Don't think too hard about that, the Grillbys aren't much more than a bit XD

HELLO! I have a question! (Actually, I have many!) I really want to start an "ask anything" comic but I don't know how it would work.

- what if nobody asks questions? (or I don't like their questions?)

- any tips?

- how often should I post?

- how should I do the introduction?

- any etiquette I should know?

- would anyone even read it!?

- WHAT DO I DO IF NOBODY READS IT?

The comic would be a FNaF AU called "Mr. Sleepy: ask anything" on a side blog. It's about the four animatronics trying to figure out their past and how to get out of the abandoned daycare. The story is pretty different from the original game; the restaurant is a daycare; William is the good guy while Henry Emily is bad; Vanny is some weird god demon; and its generally an older vibe of FNaf, like before all the crazy lore. Obviously there is more to it but overall it's simple. Chica is the main character. The "askers" would be wandering ghosts (there are a lot of dead kids) Heres a poster of the characters:

(Don't mind Freddy he looks kinda weird in this drawing) Would anyone read this? Or even ask questions? Should I just jump in and do it or not?

Please comment or DM me if you have tips!!

Sneak peek of Siqua's lore!

In a few episodes, this will make sense, but I'm impatient so I posted it now :)

Im in a bit of an art rut... I have yet for inspiration to hit me. The art style for my comic is very simple and I've been drawing in it so much that I find it difficult to draw in my normal style now 😅 i guess its a good and a bad thing.
