i've been working on my own personal edits of bulkit.dev - an open source alternative to things like buffer - for a little while now. hoping this works well! they're more under the radar now, but here's a link to their more recent project: https://questpie.com/

All the posts and feeds I see on bluesky are so inspiring. Its so nice to finally have a slice of the internet that feels safe and authentic - long term, too! At least, that's my experience. I hope yours isn't too different; I'd love to trust bluesky to be a safe haven online

The abuse towards indie creators needs to stop.

I actually hope indie animation doesn't become mainstream because I'm more concerned for the mental health and wellbeing of these studios than how successful they could become.

Animation "fans" will keep screaming "go indie" at animators and creators, but then will harass, bully, and smear them and become the most toxic MFers on social media.

People ask me if "Lord of the Rings" inspired "The Ring Master". Surprisingly no; I've never actually seen/read LOTR. If anything it's based on the Mad Hatter's hat from Once Upon a Time. Always loved that throw-spin #theringmaster #indieanimation #writing buff.ly/5e2fzHO

buff.lyOnce Upon a Time 2x05 The Doctor: Rumplestiltskin, Dr. FranOne of the last scenes of Episode 5 from Season 2 of Once Upon a Time. Rumplestiltskin concludes his business with Dr. Frankenstein and The Mad Hatter.

Another #theringmaster inspiration. Originally I had their "2 go in, 2 come out" idea, but that's changed. Now there's no limit to how many people can go through the Ring, but once the Master is through, that's it! This means people get left behind if you're not careful #indieanimation #writing

youtu.beOnce Upon a Time ~ 1x17 Regina leaves Jefferson in WonderlandIn the episode "Hat Trick" we learn why Jefferson doesn't trust the Evil Queen...not that we can blame him.

I FOUND IT! This is the clip that inspired The Ring Master! Well, the concept of the Ring anyways. I wore a hat as a teenager and often pretended to spin-throw it like this. Aaand...that's how the Ring works! #theringmaster #indieanimation #writing buff.ly/5e2fzHO

Dostani, Penny's home, Carmen's first adventure, is based on Ireland, but I finally figured out what it's the High Medieval Era, about 800-1200 CE. I'm still doing more research, but it's giving SUCH deep worldbuilding #theringmaster #indieanimation #writing

#indieanimation #theringmaster #writing Anybody have thoughts on talking about spoilers for your story? Mine are so integral to the show's themes, I can't seem to talk about the show without getting into spoilers. Anybody else experience this? Any recommendations or thoughts?

#theringmaster #indieanimation #writing Feeling down today. Trying to work on the ring master, just feeling like it's never gonna happen. I got a lot of insecurity, you know? Ik that's a common feeling among creatives. But I'm writing now. And that makes me feel better

Maybe "references" isn't the right word; I'm not exactly an "artist" and don't have much concept art. Maybe...inspirations? Ideas for how I want my show to look? Regardless, I want Ring Master art & animation to look something like this!

Oh guys, give this pilot a chance! I saw it the other day - I'm super intrigued #indieanimation #thethreetomes

While making a short horror film, best friends Tammy and Sia, get swept into a world of witches, magic books, and spirits. Will they get through it all and will Tammy's romantic endeavors with two vampires be more than she can handle? Pilot: youtu.be/5fXFD58D51A?... #indieanimation #thethreetomes

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS GORGEOUS MASTERPIECE FOR A MINUTE!!!!! This is the BIGGEST inspiration for #theringmaster art style, cinematography, blocking - AGH ITS SO PRETTY! Can't wait to see your short film Rambu!!

The Ring Master is my baby. Kodakrome Creations, my media company, is my dream. Writing intelligent, thoughtful, quality narratives that enrich the lives of the audience, and empowering people to change the world for the better - this is my goal. And I'm not gonna stop until I get there.

I understand that “Carmen” is typically a female name in Spanish cultures. I intentionally named him Carmen to explore the nuances behind gender roles, gender identity, and choosing who you are, rather than conforming to what you were given. This is a major theme in #theringmaster

A few weeks ago I posted a tiktok about Carmen and Penny's musical motifs in The Ring Master, but I misspoke. Carmen isn't strings, and penny isn't percussion. Carmen is BLUES, Penny is SWING, and TOGETHER they make ELECTRO SWING. THAT'S their signature music style! #theringmaster

Found out about open-source movies lately, and I'm thinking of making The Ring Master an open-source series. I'm thinking something like a CC non-commercial share-alike license. Community is #1 and I wanna encourage people to make fan stuff. What do you guys think? #theringmaster

I love The Ring Master. So much. I ended up writing a bunch of plot points around EPIC - like, the series finale has so much inspiration from The Vengeance and Ithaca sagas. This is how I write and remember; I listen to songs. I watch clips, and imagine my OC's singing them. #theringmaster
