I’m gonna THEORY CRAFT for a second about Animator vs Animation 11. Because there’s something SUPER WEIRD I’ve noticed about the way camera shots are orchestrated in recent animations. Specifically about -
THE LAPTOP SCREEN.
And even more specifically what Alan (and the real world) may look like to the stickmen.
We’ve known for a while now that 3D space was possible outside of the Laptop since AvA 7 (March 11, 2019).
But the camera angle on the Laptop has always been in 2D space until very recently!
I like to think that the one wall in the stickfight house works more like a one-way mirror, where it acts like a window from the outside, but looks completely solid from the inside. It’s shown in AvA 4, when TSC was introduced, that he can also see through this wall from the outside, just like we can, because he watched them fight for a bit…
And he even tried hitting the wall to get their attention!
But the fact that the others didn’t react at all shows that they likely only saw a solid wall, and not a window. I don’t know if there’s been any evidence of the other sticks being able (or unable) to see through the wall from the outside, but my personal theory is that they likely can.
Another interesting thing to note…
Not only does that one actual short show how all the sticks can see Alan through the screen, but Green actually undoubtedly confirms this during his influencer arc! He made a couple posts in the community tab, and one of them was a Q&A post, where he was answering questions in the comments
One person asked him if he could see outside the computer, and the answer was yes, he could!!
Also, another tidbit of interesting stick lore I came across in there…
(Wdym, “it’s not pleasant”, Green? Personally, I think it’s either a lonely void, or (the one I think is more likely) it’s just a blip to them, because they literally just stop existing for a bit, but they may get reset back to the stickfight page, which would make it almost feel like teleporting. Imagine how disorienting it’d be to go through that, man. Like you’re off doing your own thing, minding your business, working on a fun project… then you blink, and suddenly you’re back in bed. Not only that, but your progress might not’ve been saved either. That’d be pretty unpleasant to me ngl)
Anygay, yeah!! Overall, this is definitely very interesting!! I also think it’d be very cool to eventually see the outside world from inside the screen. Imagine one day, Victim comes back to Alan’s computer, and we see him look up a little as he exits the portal…
Then the camera pans around behind him to reveal Alan looking back.
Ooo!! Maybe it’s even a parallel moment, with the angle and composition referencing TCO’s return!! That would be sick!
i know this is months old now. But i want to reblog with more people’s theories because AVA needs more conspiracy theories, OKAY.
It’s such a unique piece of media that does not have any spoken dialogue, but is easy enough to understand even in complex moments. And the background art has so much world building.
𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦 𝐀𝐯𝐀 𝟏𝟏:
A) I seriously think there’s something hella fishy about the stick figures from the city not knowing that they are created by humans. And not knowing that much about their world to begin with.
They have the internet, but it’s unknown if they have “human internet” (i.e. videos with humans in them). And if the stick figures do know Humans exist, why hasn’t the society put two and two together about Humans being their CREATORS.
B) I wanted to quickly mention the wacky way in which Victim BASICALLY CREATED the STICK UNIVERSE and How it works in modern day too.
LIKE-
First, Victim is barreling towards this black grid sphere, where all the stick figures are showing up. And then he pierces it’s outer shell with his rocket.
After he punctures the sphere, this HUGE explosion of green “creationist” energy expands outward.
Not only that, but hundreds of tunnels are created that connect to the Newgrounds bubble (which was likely the tunnel Agent escaped through after Mitsi died), and all types of Websites and people’s computers, more specifically Alan’s Computer.
And this green light completely brings color to the Black globe(or simi-sphere). Giving it an Earth-like appearance.
Why does this happen????? IDK. But i think it’s probably forshadowing?? Feel free to add onto this. This is fun.
This humans house smells like flowers!! 🌸🌼🌷 yum!

If you go on this site and say something like “I’m broke right now, I’ll have rice instead of steak for dinner” then somebody will come into your notes with the most condescending tone possible and say “EXCUSE ME but rice is FAR more expensive than steak”, and if you disagree with them then they’ll be like “Fancy gourmet rice cooked for you by a professional chef is much more costly than if your parents give you the steak that they won in a raffle” and act like this is a reasonable reading of your original post and they’ve successfully corrected you
“Fancy gourmet rice cooked for you by a professional chef is much more costly than if your parents give you the steak that they won in a raffle”
OP were you briefly possessed by Lemony Snicket to write this sentence
I don’t know what you mean mate, that’s a normal arse sentence?
I can’t articulate why but this sounds like a sentence Lemony Snicket would write
I think it’s because the steak was won in a raffle
Who the fuck is out here raffling off steaks
like if the parents bought the steak at Costco then it might have sounded normal to me but the idea of steak being raffled threw me off so bad
Sorry if this sounds like I’m being an asshole, I swear I’m not I was just thrown
Alright, everyone in the comments is like “it was closed because of pirating and don’t you dare list alternatives because loose lips sink ships”
This is completly false. Rabbit shut down because they had no business model, were making no money whatsoever, and went bankrupt. What Rabbit did (host and stream remote-control virtual machines) is not inherently illegal by any means.
Hyperbeam is the exact same thing and I’ve been using it for years for perfectly legal activities – you can display maps for d&d games, have youtube watch parties, play tag-team neopets, whatever you like. It has full access to the internet, so could someone do illegal things? Probably. But you could also do illegal things with your normal web browser. Not my problem.
Unlike Rabbit, Hyperbeam has a side-hustle (main-hustle?) offering more advanced virtual machines to businesses and schools, so they do actually make money and should stick around longer.
Now go experience the world wide web with your friends.
I hate when people say stuff like “oh if seatbelt laws or asbestos bans happened today, they would be controversial!”
Like. They were. There were a lot of people - influenced by multi-billion dollar campaigns - who were against it and thought it was sissy libturd shit.
the most annoying people are people who don’t understand storytelling. they be like “oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning”. yeah no shit. that’s why the story begins here
You can be talking to someone and she’ll be like, “Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don’t deserve voting rights teehee.” And you’ll be like, “What.” And she’ll be like, “Oh I’m sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it’s this Tiktok meme where, if you’re a girl and you do something dumb, you say ‘Women don’t deserve voting rights teehee.’”
And you’ll be like, “That sounds bad.” And she’ll be like, “No no. It’s totally not that bad. It’s just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he’ll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.’” And you’ll be like, “Does that make it better?” And she’ll be like, “Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn’t vote’ a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot.”
And then you drop it there because like, you’re harshing the vibe.
God this makes me think of this screenshot:
“it minimizes you as a person” really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole “oh but i’m just a girl” thing when used in most situations.
“Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion” story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they’ve been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because “they were probably just a late bloomer” or “no, you just finally found the right person!” and it’s just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn’t right and they can’t stand it.
i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
no you don’t understand. i do international regulation of emerging technologies for a living. this WAS me stress dreaming about work
I like the implication that Mexico is responsible for documenting everything else
