Pearl Says (Rebooted)










I got inspired from all those storytime animators so this was basically my version of that. I made this at some point in January but episodes 1-7 are lost to time because I was an idiot and didn't keep them in my phone's storage and then my old channel got terminated so they're all gone. From memory: 1 was an introduction, 2 was on smarties, 3 was like a general update, mostly to say that I changed my OC, 4 was about my brothers, 5 was about this goose that flew into a field hockey game I was playing like a week before I made that (I have the script written physically on paper somewhere and I drew out the frames like a slideshow instead of using Flipaclip and the frames backed up to iCloud so if I really wanted to, I could remake it), 6 was me demonstrating how I draw in my artstyle on paper and 7 I think was me going through an old sketchbook of mine but don't quote me on that.

I can tolerate these more as it's essentially 12/13 year old me going "I wanna talk about something" so the writing flaws are basically personality flaws as I didn't really put on a persona or anything.

I also thought that this'll be my main thing that I carry on for years and years, and technically I never "cancelled" it but I changed my main OC in mid July from PearlRainbow to Hikara Dragonfly so I guess I just never made any more. I made tweened idle animations for Hikara which I used in a video saying how I was moving to Newgrounds (which I guess is kinda like episode 14 considering the format's very similar), and I made static drawings of PearlRainbow in different poses before then as I used it in an update video so I think it was less killed off and more just "fizzled out" as I started to shift focus and teenage stuff. I still like the concept of just talking about random stuff but I'm not sure how I'll do it nowadays without just making it like a podcast or something.
Maybe one day there will be a "Rosie Says"...

Wait isn't all those videos just the kind of stuff I ramble on about on Tumblr, just in animation form?
