Wasting time

Published on May 15, 2009 in Life. 41 Comments

So yeah, I wasted the last few hours reading things on TVtropes once again (“Oh, maybe I’ll just read that one article, there’s no way I’d end up reading hundreds of other ones”). A few minutes ago, I remembered I was going to update this site, then couldn’t think of anything and decided not to bother making anything that even remotely looks like I put effort into it. And here it is!

Also, I will not provide a link to TVtropes because it will most likely end up in many wasted hours — if you don’t already know what it is, please don’t Google it unless you have hours to waste or are prepared to face the consequences. Or if you are the kind of person who is immune to wiki-like websites with loads of links to other interesting articles.

All seven parts of this miniseries are now available on one convenient DVD SWF file! Critics from ambiguous sources hail it as “one of the year’s greatest films involving a witch stealing books from a library!” Get your copy today for only three easy payments of $9.99! Or if you click the arrow, it’s free! Don’t click the arrow!

Basically I didn’t feel like doing anything today (other than continuing a school project I’ve been working all week on), so I just put together the Marisa book stealing things into one swf.

Sakuya brings Marisa outside to where Cirno happens to be in the process of freezing a frog, and this is how this short series of looped flashes ends! I could have made it smoother, like actually having Sakuya turn around instead of flipping horizontally or a bunch of other things I could have done, but I didn’t really feel like it.

Sakuya Dragging

After stopping time and releasing the books from the Marisa’s giant potato bag, Sakuya proceeds to drag the thief out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion… through a very very large basement. It is very large because… of Sakuya’s space manipulation abilities. Yes, that’s why. I’m not sure why she would enlarge the space and make herself walk farther, but she did, and here it is.

Also, the title of this post would make it seem as if Sakuya is the one being dragged; it would actually be “Sakuya dragging Marisa” but I didn’t do that because that would sorta ruin the title syntax established in the past few related posts.

Sakuya Slash

Sakuya to the rescue with her time-stopping abilities and super-fast-knife-slashing (which may or may not be related to her time-stopping/slowing abilities)! There are a lot more frames in this animation than there were in the other ones, but it was easier to animate because I didn’t have to bother trying to make everything move smoothly; as you can probably tell, the frames are all over the place. Here’s a slower version (3 frames per second as opposed to 24), and here’s a faster version (60 frames per second).
