What Are They Doing Here????

i love these tags

ai writing is weird

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

the process of redstoning

I YAPPED ABT THIS AGES AGO HOLD UP HERE ILL COPY PASTE IT guys why can't i find any hermitcraft/AvM crossovers?? MISSED OPPORTUNITY- you know how FUNNY THIS SHIT WOULD BE-? like the hermits (s8 its the only one ive watched lol) are just minding their own business when suddenly these seven stickfigures appear out of nowhere??? that's not even to mention their names and backstories- like, you've got red, blue, yellow, green, purple, mango tango and the sECOND COMING-???? like jesus christ- and apparently these teens- (+1 adult) are in possession of a command block, and world destroying objects??? not to mention, the yellow one's a coding whizz, the purple one somehow has elytra upon entering the game, the green one's a music block GENIUS and is deathly afraid of silverfish, the blue one has a netherwart addiction, the only adult of the group tried to destroy minecraft at one point, the orange one sleeps a STUPID amount and can bring drawings to life, and the red one can talk to mobs and has apparently been possessed by herobrine, TWICE. They don't take fall damage- and just constantly disobey the laws of minecraft!! the hermits are panicked, trying to figure out what to do, and these sticks are like "oh yeah lol mt almost killed us but we're fine lmao" and the hermits are kinda like 'wtf'-

anyway yellow, mumbo and tango would bond over redstone

now kiss

green won this duel 💪

Yesterday, I decided to use AvM as an example for "Expression through Body Language in Animation" so I thought; why not share it over here?

Expressing EMOTION through Body Language (Using AvM as an example)

Body language is actually very important in animation. The use of it can help express just about anything! Sometimes it doesn't have to be facial expressions or strong voice acting to make a point about how someone is feeling.

For example, simple movement, like throwing your hands in the air or jumping around, can express joy,

confusion,

and even woe and sadness.

Sometimes, the complete use (or lack) of movement can be very telling of an emotion. In the picture above, Purple is standing completely still at his mother's grave, head cast down in sorrow.

Did it take any line of dialogue or facial expression to make his grief clear? No! All it took was simple body language.

It even helps differentiate one character from another, in terms of how they walk,

(Green skipping dramatically just SCREAMS theatre kid in The Wishing Well short:)

how they pose

("Blue" posing in a way that the REAL Blue most likely wouldn't in The Witch:)

(and Red’s aggressive movements vs Green's cocky ones from The Prank; you can tell by the way Red stomps up to Green that the poor guy is getting mad)

their fighting styles, too; where Red shows his aggressive and impulsive nature in the way he fights, compared to Yellow taking a more defensive stance in 'Green's Channel';

And even how they sit! HOW THEY SIT!

The animation team could've easily had them all sit in the exact same way, but no! They had them sit differently, in ways that give them all more personality.

And later on in the same short, they expressed frustration differently!

Red's pose here being some sort of pout, Blue’s feeling more of a "damn it!" while Yellow is a classic thinking pose; showing that he's possibly coming up with ways to succeed in another try.

And it didn't take a single word, nor a FACE, to get this point across! All it took to convey emotions was how they move! It's actually really interesting to think about. It didn't take voice actors or faces or even character design to show emotions and personality, all it took was a good understanding of body language and movement. Props to the Alan Becker team for that!

Before I go, here are some other examples of how simple movement conveyed emotions in AvM.

Blue's shock turning to horror in the Omelette Short:

Green laughing in Fruit Ninja and Wallpaper:

Orange tiredly rubbing his eyes in Ragdoll to show that "He didn't get enough sleep for this nonsense":

And finally, Red, Green and Orange leaning differently during a race in "Carrot on a Stick"

That's all I have, thank you for your time <3

I genuinely admire how the animation team managed to pull off body language so amazingly! It's so cool how you can express so much about yourself through your movements alone.

lmaoooo

I want jack black to play Grian in the live action hermitcraft movie if there ever is one -⭐️

thank the lord ive got the band bit i cant skate to save myself

Sorry I’m just crashing out cause what do you mean I’m not a teenage boy in the 2000’s who rides skateboards and is in a band with my best friends?

An actually serious post for once.

I don't do these much.

I think it's weird how there's a lot of people with diagnosis' of little-known things, but they themselves weren't told what it is. Sometimes the doctor will tell you what it is to a parent, and then barely explain it to the kid that actually has it.

About two years ago i was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder, more specifically, Spatial Auditory Processing Disorder.

Now, I wasn't really told what it was. I was only told the smallest bit about it. The person who diagnosed me simply told me; "You struggle to block out other noises." That’s not nearly the extent of it. Sure, that's one bit. In noisy places, I struggle to block out other sounds and focus on one conversation. I also can't really tell where a sound is coming from. Is it from the left, is it from the right, is it front or behind? I struggle to figure that out. I struggle to separate a main noise/conversation from background conversation as well. I also have Autonomic Dysfunction. This can be like a less severe version of POTS. If you don't know, POTS, (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome,) is 'a condition where your heart rate increases excessively when you stand up.' To be diagnosed with POTS, your heartrate must go up by more than 30 beats above your resting heartrate as soon as you stand up.

Autonomic Dysfunction is 'a condition where the autonomic nervous system (ANS) doesn't function properly, leading to various bodily issues.' For me, my main problem is my heart rate. When people without Autonomic Dysfunction stand up, their blood vessels actually narrow to keep the same blood pressure. Mine, however, do not. My blood actually struggles to get around my body. It struggles to get to my brain, hands and feet, and more importantly, my heart. Put these two with my low blood pressure and low iron, and you get a problem. Please, if you ever get diagnosed with something, ASK ABOUT IT. Just this information was a pain to get out of my parents and the doctor. Faster you can get the information, the easier it is to live with.
