my most unpopular opinion is probably that “if it’s good enough, spoilers won‘t ruin it for you anyway” is actually kinda mid & basic intellectualism, based on a trite model of narrative meaning as "content" to be decoded & appreciated cerebrally rather than *import* to be experienced dynamically

KEEP DRAWING!

Hang in there, struggling artists

If you’re a grown adult and you still think that old means worse then you haven’t been paying attention.

Becky found out about her awards

The next video to come out on my channel is the last one I finnished be4 I went on break. I edited a video for another channel and may continue to do that, even when I return. So don't expect regular uploads when I do make my return onto YT, which I plan to do but I wanna finnish another project 1st

I’m so happy to announce that Becky and the 4th Wall has officially won 3 international awards 🏆 Best Film - ALTFF Audience Choice - ALTFF Best Animated Short - Couch FF Thank you everyone for the support on this pilot. The amount of love it’s gotten has been insane and amazing!

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

I was watching a long video essay and the creator decided to take a dog break. Like right before stuff got too crazy he just took a few minute to show us his dog playing. What a brilliant idea! We need to normalize dog breaks in long videos

When I was originally writing the series bible for Becky and the 4th Wall last year I included sample scripts for 3 episodes and a brief story board clip from each one. Now that the pilot has been out for a bit I can share this one 😁

Some of you guys have been requesting it so I delivered, there’s now a Becky and the 4th Wall subreddit! I hope you all have fun with it. www.reddit.com/r/beckyandth...

The more I play games like Metaphor Re Fantazio (thanks @parnellanimation.bsky.social for getting me into it) and Persona 5, etc the more I feel like more ppl should and pay attention to the story. Even as I play solo, I find myself monologing to myself and reflecting on my thought and feelings. 1/2

Just wanted to let you guys know that you’re all going to get some pretty cool Becky news next week. I’m think you’ll all be happy to hear it 😁

Buy this instead of Pokopia just to piss Nintendo off.

A lil advice from ya gal here: Sometimes you just got to take a step back and see your world in a different light for you to realise what you need to change. Self reflection is important, just go go going all the time just doesnt work. Let yourself breathe

I’m sure part of it is also that, even after all she’s done, news outlets still refer to her as “Harry Potter star Emma Watson”.

Good to know from a (former) Nintendo lawyer that fan-art is reason to mobilze the troops at a moment's notice, but a fascist regeime using directly stolen Pokemon assets to recruit for the nu-Gestapo is something the company would (likely) let slide. My decision to not buy Nintendo, validated.

With everyone who joined the community because of the Becky Pilot I think now is a good time to share the Parnell Animation Discord server. Come talk with me and some of the cast about whatever you want as long as it’s pg13. discord.gg/2gHDbF77r4

Once I return to YouTube I won't be returning eith an upload scedual so I can focus on making the best videos I can, as scripting with a time limit or editing with one hindered my creativity with them. Not saying I will try my best to post regularilly but don't expect videos as often.

Some people have been asking me if I’m cool with fanart and the answer to that is ABSOLUTELY! Fan art always makes my day and helps encourage me to keep animating. If you make some fan art feel free to tag me on BlueSky, Instagram, Tumblr, or Threads 😁

Are there any episodes of my cartoons that you guys think are a must have for the 1000 subscriber Saturday morning cartoon block?

A little overkill, but at least it's not any higher. Emulation is still your best friend with these two, though. Especially when you get an actual Wii remote working.

After buying the new Modern Warfare 3 on a whim, I gotta say it is the most fun I ever had solo playing a CoD game. Last time I played a CoD game online was w Niki like 4 years ago w Modern Warfare 2019. And I only enjoyed it bc I played it w her. But damn MW3 is good. I never laughed so much w CoD.

I am very happy for Parnell to reach 1k. If anyone deserves it, it is him! I got nothing but love for this man and his cartoons.

Well I just noticed I got 2 videos scedualed lol. Have a small teaser for them. I covered some stuff bc not gonna reveal but won't be hard to figure out tbf.

Happy First Birthday Becky! Go break that fourth wall you loveable goober! @parnellanimation.bsky.social ‘s Becky and the Fourth Wall Pilot starts tonight baby!

WATCH IT! I AM NOT ASKING ANYMORE!

GUESS WHAT?!?! IT'S OUT! @parnellanimation.bsky.social's newest video! youtu.be/OSGRbKx16YQ?... #indieanimation #parnellanimation #indiecartoon #cartoon #cartoonpilot

The pilot for Becky and the 4th Wall is out now!! This was a major passion project for me I hope you all have as much fun with these characters as I do. youtu.be/OSGRbKx16YQ

You all heard the man! Watch the funny cartoon!

Watch it. I am no longer asking.

@parnellanimation.bsky.social ‘s pilot Becky and the Fourth Wall comes out tonight! I voice Becky in this one and has a lot of fun doing it! I finally get to be a quirky unhinged character that defies the laws of physics with a questionable morality. I love morally questionable reality benders!

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Well I spent the entire evening so far designing thumbnails for Becky and the 4th Wall’s release tomorrow. Here’s some of the drafts that won’t be the final thumbnail that I still like.

A huge part of the appeal of Life is Strange is how your choices affect the outcome. This factor only exists BECAUSE it’s a game. Even the best possible adaptation you could ever make can’t capture what made it such a unique and enjoyable experience. You see it as “just” a game so you already fail

The lesson I got from Silksong, Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, and Elden Ring? The AAA gaming industry (and some indies) get jealous so easily.

While you’re all getting ready for the Becky and the 4th Wall Pilot to release next Tuesday, why not take some time to get to know the main two characters of the show, Becky and Stacey. #indieanimation #animation

Father speaking to his son: "Don't give up on Basketball, son! Kobe Bryant never gave up!" Miserable people:

Isn’t that shit like mega old. Like unless Doug actually raped someone or is like a pedo. I can’t see being mad at someone for being an asshole a decade ago when he’s don’t nothing worth criticizing since then.

As someone who knows what that other project is, keep and eye out for what Kuro is up to. It’s pretty darn cool 😎

The new No Mans Sky Update is amazing. I may or may not have abandoned freighters.

Tbh after some reevaluating I'm gonna take a break from YT figure some stuff our and hopefuly return then. Just gonna focus on another project I got going on in between and do that, so I am doing something, mostly bc I can't be idle a lot.

Nah I’m good.

He single handedly destroyed the company responsible for two of the greatest FPS trilogies of all time only to leave after selling it to a billion dollar corporation. Fuck him. I hope he goes all in on Ai and loses everything in the process.
