Please read this. It took me a long time and I am proud of it. YOU HAVE TO SPAM THAT GREEN FLAG FOR THIS TO WORK THE BEST SPAM IT INTO TOMORROW! This is my entry. Um I actually have no idea what I did this for. There is no way I will win but it was fun so... Yeah, just tap the green flag and enjoy my first attempt at animation on a human/animal/anything but words. Art: @QiqiWantCoconutMilk Code: @Sandypaws17 Character Info: SO. This is Kazi and they are a tiny bit paranoid (if you can't tell) about something... they are terrified and have no one to go to or tell like and favorite this project to help them out with their crisis. (Please do not miss use their pronouns.) [sorry for the like/fav plug it seemed perfect] Does giving the character a personality give me extra points? Probably not BUT Ima do it anyway. This is Kazi. They love to sing and draw. They have anxiety however because they have no friends and a very bad family. They are often scorned or pushed aside because they are not normal. They are incredibly smart, fun, and artistic. Kazi has a friend now and they have fallen slightly in love with him. When Kazi tries to tell their friend how they feel they have an anxiety attack and this animation shows that. They associate attacks with a prowling beast in the back of their mind (represented here by the static eyes) this beast terrifies them. Caleb (Kazi’s friend/crush/emotional support) helps ease their anxiety but this was not a normal attack so he can't ease it. Kazi is terrified of getting rejected by Caleb and this he doesn't know so he has no idea how to help. They pass out against Caleb mid-sentence and he has no idea why so he just stays with them. Kazi soon wakes up in a hospital and sees Caleb’s face and cries. They can’t form words and he can’t help so they both just stand there. Caleb then hugs them and helps them up. Kazi eventually is able to tell him of their feelings and almost has another anxiety attack when he doesn’t respond. But Caleb just holds them closer and admits he’s loved them for longer than they’d even been friends. Kazi's anxiety worsens out of nowhere to the point that they are almost not able to live normally. Caleb does everything he can comforting them and helping them through this but nothing will work. As the disorder reaches a low Kazi has never felt they begin to fear for how their life is going to be effected. Their grades are slipping as they miss more and more school and even their ability to think straight is impaired. The only thing staying consistent is their art. They spend more time sketching and painting now than ever before. The more Kazi paints the more they notice about the work they produce and the more they continue to improve. Their art is one of the few things keeping them going. The art... and Caleb. Caleb continues to support and be there for Kazi allowing them to have sort of an emotional anchor. As slow as Kazi's recovery is they are showing signs of some sort of normalcy in behavior returning. As their condition continues to get better they grow happier and more content with their life. Their art shows more color. Their writing more life. Their whole aura shines brighter. Then, one year after their anxiety hit the lowest point, their whole world was torn apart. It had come out of nowhere and the first thing registering was the cracked glass. And the fire. So. Much. Fire. Kazi felt the beast tryng to escape the bonds that had been built around it. The room went black around the edges. They felt the anxiety return. Then they see Caleb. The one person. The one they loved. The one that helped. /The only one who stayed/. Kazi is able to bring themselves to stop. Stop spiraling. Stop worrying. They feel Celeb's arms around them. They freeze. The fire was gone like wind as was the burning and the pain. The only thing now was Caleb. He was the only real thing. The flames, the pain, it had all been in their head. But they didn't let it take control. Not this time. Not now. Not here. Even though their beast had been contained it was lurking there every day waiting for its time to strike. Even though the anxiety had not been able to take hold this time, Kazi still fell unconscious. Waking once again to Caleb. Once again feeling overwhelmed with sadness. This time however they were not overcome by it. It only made them stronger. Oh. My. Garsh. That turned into a whole mini story. Once an author always and author. Hehehe. OKAY. That was a lot. I am SO sorry this project is supposed to be about animation but now I am super intent on creating this into a story like now soooooo. Sorry. Please comment if you liked it though that was so much more dark and dramatic than I normally write. Oh wow... I have ... ... ... ... No idea how I feel about this. I may add music later. But right now my brain is exhausted.
