Flug Invented TV Tropes

When nobody is around black hat talks to himself

Villains like monologuing 

Black Hat reminds his customers all the time to never do it, but that doesn’t prevent him from monologuing when doing so is not detrimental to him (i.e he’s alone and no-one’s hearing him)

Neighbors

Black Hat has neighbors. I imagine that none of them have the slightest idea who or what he is. All they know is he barely comes out, never responds to the weekly potluck invite, and they only ever really see him out when hes filming something. So they’ve all come to the conclusion that he and his roommates run a YouTube channel. Maybe he has a prank show, that guy in the bag sure seems to be the brunt of most of the jokes

VILLAINOUS CONFERENCE IN COLOMBIA 4.0 (7th of November)

Alan Ituriel, the creator of Villainous, went to a conference in Colombia today! He talked about animation, Villainous, its evolution and he gave tips about how to start your business in the animation industry, as well as an amazing motivational speech. He’s a wonderful person and a sweetheart, I swear. He also thanked the fans a lot for liking Villainous, and even showed some fan creations and cosplays, and talked about how he never expected his show to be successful outside of latam.

He talked about the importance of making your characters alive, allowing the audience to connect with them and feel their emotions and relate to them, and also about making the audience feel like they’re in the same world as the characters. He does this with Penumbra’s instagram and the secret websites, making us feel like they’re all real. Imo, this is what makes this show so amazing. Alan really knows how to make his characters and story likeable and attractive. He puts the story as the most important thing in a show, above animation, and I really appreciate this. It shows that Villainous has a very promising future. He’s tried to show us the very extensive lore through numerous ways, even in the 1 minute shorts. He said that all of the backgrounds are supervised by him, and everything on them is put there on purpose, to tell us the story in a different way other than yknow, the characters speaking.

He also talks about the importance of the voice actors. ‘Jefecito chulo’, aka Flug’s most iconic nickname for Black Hat, was not in the script. Flug’s most peculiar characteristics are not in the script, it’s all his VA. That’s how important they are. They give an extra layer of attributes to the character.

The last photo shows how much the project has changed over the years, as well as the others showing how the characters evolved. He animated both of those scenes. He linked this speech with the motivational one, telling how being good at something is about practice and practice, and to never let anyone drag you down, because even your closest friends can turn on you. You must be strong. You are the only one that matters in the end. ‘If I could do it, you can.’ ‘Even if everyone dislikes what you’re doing, keep going forward and show it, because someone out there has to like it. Even if it’s just one person.’ He is entirely self-taught. His family has no animators, or people in the TV industry. He did it all on his own, with perseverance and hard work.

His story is very inspiring, I have MAD respect for him and his show, and I’ll support him til the very end.

Here’s the conference on youtube! Alan starts talking at the minute 42:50

And that’s how Flug died

sketchy dem to keep the content flowing while we wait for villainous to return from the hiatus war

i think we all know demencia speaks in memes just to throw black hat off his rhythm, but what if after a while he actually caught on? like maybe nothing goes screwy with an invention one day and black hat, not batting an eye, says “okay wig” and flug cries tears of joy even though he’s beyond frightened his boss literally just used “wig” in the correct context

or black hat could be sipping his morning coffee in the kitchen with a newspaper and demencia walks past and asks what number he is on the keanu mood scale today, and without a beat he says 8
