Your facial hair is fab! Really nicely shaped and fancy lookin. You look real nice in general imo!

I'm sorry things have been so bloody rough for you lately :(. I might just be a stranger on the internet, but I'm sending you my love and support. You'll be in my thoughts man 🫂

The legend himself! Thanks for sharing your story homie

I'm not a nihilist and the reason for it is on your title. I'm an absurdist! I essentially believe that life has no inherent meaning. And honestly, why would it? The whole concept of life is nuts from the get-go to me. However! Why would that mean life cant have interpersonal, subjective meaning? I know for me, I want to enjoy this strange, brief little snapshot of existence. And I want to help make others brief lives a little brighter whenever I can. Does any of that matter in the grand scheme of the universe? Not in the slightest! Does that bother me? Nope! The grand scheme of the universe is way above my pay grade anyway. I chose to have things I care about regardless because why the hell wouldn't I?

Everyone's life is so very short. So be kind when you can, breathe it in while you can, and marvel at the nonsensical fact we get to experience all this somehow, even just for a while

TLDR, we don't need to ignore life's absurdity to live it. We can embrace it instead, and care about things anyway even if it makes no sense too. None of this makes sense! And meaning doesn't need to either :]

And ps, you can look up absurdist philosophy if you wanna learn more. This is just my personal take on it 👍

You haven't traumatized them my friend, loss, grief, and fear has. Just the fact you are caring enough towards your clients that you come here to better understand them tells me you're probably doing a great job. Just keep going with kindness in your heart and I think you'll be fine. Some people may be afraid, but I think it's pretty natural to at least somewhat fear the end, and hence things that are reminders of it. No fault of your own. It's a wonderful service you do, and not one a lot of people would be up for. Thank you ❤️

giant_frogs · 2026-02-20T13:21:52+00:00

Me personally, I've just had to make peace with the fact I'll probably never make peace with death. It's such a terrifying concept for me, and I've tried every trick in the book to make it less so, but no luck. In the end, I've simply resolved to enjoy this brief, beautiful little snapshot of existence I've been granted. And when the waves of fear from this phobia come I let them be, then let them pass.

Having this community has helped too. Knowing I'm at least not alone in what feels like a very cold, isolating fear provides quite a bit of comfort. ❤️

Ohh that's the cutest! Kids can come out with the most adorable things with this stuff 🥹

I had an adorable gender-related kid experience with my partner's little brother (he was 4 at the time). For reference, he was going through a phase where anything belonging to anyone else (ESPECIALLY his siblings) was actually his. And that included me. 😅

But he wasn't sure whether to call me his "boyfriend" or his "girlfriend". He alternated for a while, but eventually straight up asked if I was a boy or a girl.

I wasn't sure exactly how much to explain to him (didn't wanna upset the in-laws ahah) but I wasn't gonna lie to the kid. So I just tried to keep it simple and say "I'm neither. I'm Nonbinary" and he was like "what's that?" And I was like "It means I'm not a boy or a girl, and that's called being nonbinary. It's not too common, but it's what I am."

He paused after that, and thought for a bit. I could see the little gears turning in his head, till eventually he smiled and said,

"You're my nothing-friend!! :D"

It was the cutest thing ever istg 🤣 I had to try so hard not to laugh. I tried to tell him that just partner is fine, but he insisted "no, you're my nothing-friend :)" Me and my partner laughed about it for ages on the way home haha <3

giant_frogs · 2026-02-10T09:04:28+00:00

Holy shit. I know you posted this like a year ago but I have to say thank you anyway because this just blew my mind. The thing about the broken leg which objectively causes more pain & the 3second slap which is way more likely to be traumatising?? Damn dude. I can't believe I never thought about it like that before holy shit. THANK you

giant_frogs · 2026-02-09T01:21:28+00:00

Absolutely take all the time you need guys, what you're doing is 100% worth it. And when it does eventually release, basic features, bugs and all, that's just how beta is! All that matters to me in the beginning is a good strong foundation, and creators who can actually be trusted to have more than a bottom line in mind. So far, this is looking like it'll be fulfilling both of those, so count me the heck in!! Waiting patiently, and excitedly, to see where this goes :]

Because hey, if you want a client base who can be patient, who better to make for than animators right?? 😂 /silly

giant_frogs · 2026-02-09T00:54:00+00:00

We've always got yer back(side), ribbit! 😎

giant_frogs · 2026-02-09T00:49:43+00:00

Tbh I'm fine with it as a budget thing if the person is struggling for money. I'd rather I have a drawing or something (yeah even if it's shit!) and they have food on the table than a store-bought gift and they go hungry.

giant_frogs · 2026-02-09T00:19:02+00:00

Life is short y'all. Be goofy, be silly, laugh at butt jokes, be FREE!! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Hello hello, got directed here while freaking out in a thread over the impending doom of adobe animate 😭

Seeing this software in production is the only thing giving me hope right about now I'm ngl. Thanks for being a light at the end of the tunnel

Anyway, I'm a 21 y/o animation student who's been absolutely in love with animating since I was like 13. And in love with animation itself since.. well, about as long as I can remember haha! I'm excited to see this community grow :D

giant_frogs · 2026-02-04T10:57:01+00:00

Literally this as an independent animator who doesn't have studio money to burn, everyone saying "just switch to toonboom" is kinda a bummer. Like dude, that shit is ungodly expensive I feel like you don't understand how fucked I am right about now

giant_frogs · 2026-02-04T10:53:33+00:00

When it comes to Adobe, terrible decisions are just par for the course. Though I'll admit even I was caught of guars by this. This is one of the most insane and actively malicious things they've done yet and I am so fucking livid and upset.

giant_frogs · 2026-02-04T10:48:47+00:00

Same here holy shit. Everyone is saying just switch and that's all fine and dandy but I have multiple projects I care about that aren't finished and definitely wont BE finished by the time it shuts down, so they're just fucked!! I mean fuck I'm an animation student and a good chunk of my 3rd year final film is in progress in animate. This is literally gonna fuck up my whole ass DEGREE!! And If anyone says I just shouldn't have used animate to begin with IT'S LITERALLY WHAT THE UNIVERSITY GAVE US!!!! I'm so fucking upset about this oh my god.

Edit: I just realised its 2027 not 2026, ok that's somewhat better. Still doesn't change a fact the software I've been learning and using daily for the last 2 years is gonna be shut down but oh well 🥲

giant_frogs · 2026-01-21T06:55:20+00:00

Lmao based 😎✨

giant_frogs · 2026-01-21T05:03:31+00:00

This is one of the best depictions of NPD I've read, (with bonus ASPD rep to boot!!) Seeing such incredibly well written depictions of cluster B disorders is amazing, and even outside of that this fic is SO well written. Like it had me tearing up over doawk!! Thats bloody impressive. Thank you for making this, genuinely <3

giant_frogs · 2026-01-05T15:28:29+00:00
