Very important!!
Your blog was hacked: what to do?
If you see weird pics of ladies with dubious links posted on your blog out of the blue, here’s a step by step way of stopping this and preventing it from happening again that I think might work.
Important : this only works if you can still access your blog!
Changing your password is important, but it won’t do you any good if your hacker still has an opened session on your blog and can still access it. So the first thing you wanna do is close your hacker’s session.
For that you need to go in your blog’s settings:
On the new page opened, scroll all the way down. There, you can see something called “Active Sessions“. The first and oldest one (”current session” in green) should be yours, the new one should be the hacker’s session. To close your hacker’s session, click the gray X next to it.
Now that their session is closed, they can’t access your blog anymore unless they enter the password again.
So don’t lose time, go all the way back up and change your password immediately. Make also sure your hacker didn’t change your email address.
Now you should be safe from your hacker. But it won’t prevent you from getting hacked again.
If you really want to be safe from hackers, you should turn on the “Two-factor authentification” option (on the same page).
It requires you to enter your phone number, which is a bummer. But if it’s turned on, everytime you wanna log on (so not if your session is already opened, but only if you log off and try to log on again), it will send a code on your phone that you’ll have to enter (in addition to having a password).
That way if someone tries to hack you again, even if they get your password right, they won’t be able to enter your blog without having that code.
There it is. I hope it will help some of you, since I see more and more people noticing blogs being hacked
AvA theory I found on some spanish reaction YouTube video
spoilers!!!
So, while I'm not a fan of reaction videos, I checked out one in spanish and scrolled down the comment section to see people's thoughts, and I found an interesting theory. I'll put the translation below the image (I've had some problems with making this post, I'm using mobile, I hope it looks good on desktop)
Translation:
"To complete your theory: Maybe all figures created by Alan have a special power(like we've seen, Dark Lord, Chosen one and the Second Coming) because maybe they represent what Alan wanted at the moment.
When he created the Chosen One, Alan wanted a strong stickfigure with powers because.. why not? It was his first figure and and Alan was still experimenting. Also he didn't name it the chosen one just because yes.
Then he created the Dark Lord. When he created this one Alan at the moment just wanted a stickfigure capable of fighting and defeating the Chosen One, and that's just what came out: a lil figure whose only mission is to fight and nothing else, that would explain Dark Lord's lack on empathy.
Then lastly he created the Second Coming, when he created this one, Alan didn't want to repeat his past mistakes but yet still something inside him wanted to connect with his first powerful creation, that's why he named him the Second Coming or "the Chosen One's return"
He wanted another cool figure with powers, but at the same time he feared that what happened last time might happen again. And maybe that's why is so hard for the Second Coming to use his powers, because what came out is what Alan wanted: a super powerful figure, worthy or being the second Chosen One, but so that it is not dangerous to Alan, his powers are very difficult to activate. That would also explain Second Coming's friendly attitude, being that wanted little future conflicts when creating him.
But it is only just a theory, so in reality it doesn't matter much and I don't know why I spent so much time writing this"
So I saw this theory and while there is stuff that I don't fully agree with (I feel Dark Lord has more depth than just "fight") I feel is a pretty cool take on this.
So I wanted to share yeah
I got permission from the guy to post their theory, so yeah... idk how to end posts.

AvA Thoughts and Ideas
Yes, this is my first blog post. I can’t believe it was Animator vs Animation that made me want to interact with people on this site.
@sammy8d257 (I’m the anon that wanted to add to your theories) and @inksandpensblog, I’m tagging you guys because I really like your AvA theory crafting and I want to share my thoughts with you. Hope you don’t mind getting tagged. (Also, I’m so down to discuss this stuff in DMs or on Discord if you want? I’m craving AvA discussion.)
Edit: Rephrased a few things to flow better or be better understood. Also added a new point I just thought of. Edit 2: Fixing things that didn’t get fixed the first time.
-
Okay, so, AvA.
(Also, I will be calling Orange/Second ‘Orange’ because that’s what Alan calls him, unless I’m referring to “avatar-state” Orange, then I may refer to him as ‘Second’.)
((Also, also, my thoughts jump around quite a bit, sorry about that! Hope you can follow my thought process.))
(((Also, also, also, my opinions and headcanons expressed here are not set in stone. They could definitely change, which has already happened over the course of writing this.)))
-
1) Chosen’s relationship with Dark.
- I definitely think that Chosen liked Dark (no offense to shippers, but I’m talking purely friendship here), however, I would guess that Dark considered the two of them much closer than Chosen did.
- Chosen initially followed Dark’s lead when destroying things. It was all he had known, and Dark wanted to do it. But Chosen started noticing it was actually hurting others, and didn’t really achieve anything.
- When they came to odds, Chosen struck first, while Dark just tried to stubbornly continue with his plan. It makes Chosen look like he immediately jumped to attacking, but I’d like to point out, in the flashback, he actively wanted Dark to stop attacking others when they were on the Newgrounds page. I think this means that this tension had been building up for some time. It wasn’t a sudden thing of Chosen deciding to attack Dark. It was likely sudden for Dark, because Chosen didn’t communicate with him (probably), but for Chosen, I think the creation of the virus was simply the last thing that convinced him that his former friend was actually an evil person.
- (I would love to see a reformed Dark and Chosen being friends! But, I think trying to say he wasn’t all bad in the first place is severely glossing over the fact that he did–and was going to do–some awful, awful things.)
- Chosen had no hesitance when he returned from defeating the first spider virus. He was going to beat Dark.
- (I also find it interesting that Chosen knew where this second location was. From what I can gather from the AvG reaction, it was meant to be a more secret location for Dark? Did Chosen watch him from afar and discover it? Just thinking.)
- TLDR: Chosen had already started expecting Dark might become an enemy before Dark revealed the virus.
2) Chosen’s opinion of Alan.
- Plain and simple, I don’t think Chosen hates Alan. I don’t think he even holds a grudge anymore.
- Yeah, he definitely hated Alan when he was chained up. He held a grudge for a long while after he escaped. But. I think as he watched Dark’s actions and the impact his destruction had on others, he started to see what Alan saw when Chosen was destroying Alan’s PC.
- When he entered Alan’s computer, and started trying to defend Alan’s PC, he was now in Alan’s shoes. He was the cursor, the anti-virus, who didn’t want or choose to have this destruction happen.
- After the fight, he sees other sticks on the computer and is forced to consider it may have been his own fault he got ‘tamed’, since the proof of Alan getting along with, or at least tolerating, stick figures was in front of him.
- It doesn’t mean what Alan did was right, but Chosen now sees why Alan chained him. After all, isn’t Chosen himself now on his way to destroy Dark? He and Alan aren’t so different. He nods to Alan, acknowledging him, even forgiving him. Alan nods back. There’s a level of acceptance that has been established between them. Alan respects stick figures significantly more, and Chosen sees Alan isn’t a heartless monster.
- So, when Alan’s cursor joins the fight against Dark, they were already on the same page. Preventing needless violence with violence. Not to mention, have you seen how many hits Alan purposely took for Chosen? As soon as the black blades came out, Alan got between them and Chosen as often as he could. Alan came to help Chosen, not just to defeat Dark.
- If Chosen could ally so quickly with Dark, and then turn on him when he realized Dark’s morals were wrong, why can’t the reverse be true with Chosen realizing Alan had changed for the better?
3) Chosen’s opinion of Orange.
- I believe it was Inks who said that Chosen feels something along the lines of submissive towards Orange at the end. While I do agree that Chosen’s bow doesn’t seem worshipful, I don’t think it’s Chosen ‘giving up’. I think it’s simply showing respect and gratitude in a very similar sense to how the five bowed to him after dealing with the virus. He’s just… far less emotive. It’s a nice parallel.
4) The effects of the virus spiders and blades on Chosen.
- Personally, I think the reason it looks like the virus has so little effect on Chosen is because of his coloring. Orange is, well, orange, so the black wounds are obviously going to show.
- You can see Chosen showing weakness in both his fight with the spider virus and his fight with Dark. The weakness shows itself in hesitation, slower response, straight up laying in a crater or the water for an extended period of time.
- I think at the end, when the Dark sends the virus to infect the internet, Chosen is laying there unmoving because he literally can’t move. His body language reads of someone looking up weakly, unable to do anything but wanting to. The viruses temporarily disabled him (but, notably, it took all of them to do so). Dark can’t actually kill Chosen or delete him, but he’s been successfully incapacitated, so Dark can move forward with his plan, unhindered.
- I just don’t think Chosen would ever, ever give up. If he can fight back, he will. He has never backed down once, even when there seems to be no way he can win. He almost lost to a spider virus–there’s even subtle hints later that he’s afraid of fighting them–but he still attacks the whole swarm until he literally can’t anymore.
5) Dark fighting Orange.
- With stabbing Orange, it becomes clear that he’s not being as quickly affected by the blade as his friends. That’s why the Dark lord raises him off the ground; he grew impatient. (Also, Chosen reacts to Orange being stabbed? Is it because he knows Orange is one of Alan’s creations as opposed to the other four sticks? Or does he literally feel something?)
- Dark becomes absolutely furious at Orange’s attempts to attack him and frustrated that Orange won’t simply die. Too reminiscent of Chosen. Also, I would like to note that, before he even stabbed Orange, Dark hits him the hardest out of the four still standing.
6) Orange’s powers.
- Before I say anything about Orange’s avatar-state, I want to point out that his talents seem a whole lot more like Victim’s than Chosen’s? I don’t know, if it weren’t for the fact that he has some label saying “The Chosen One’s Return,” I’d say he’s actually the ‘second coming’ of Victim.
- Okay, now to his powers. Almost all of them are souped up versions of Chosen’s, with two exceptions. The whole reviving/restoring code ability, and the ability to fly/float without flames. The latter of these two abilities is something we see Dark do after he puts on his black band. The former could also very well be associated with Dark, considering Second had to go to Dark’s console to revive his friends. Food for thought.
- There’s a trade off here in the power scaling. Second is so much stronger than Chosen, but obviously can’t tap into his powers whenever he wants. Not to mention, he seemingly can’t use them indefinitely. If Dark somehow managed to avoid getting blasted into the beyond, Orange would be in major trouble if his super-state has a time limit.
- Then there’s the whole sleeping thing in videos that likely take place later chronologically? On the build competition video where Orange literally can’t stay awake for fifteen seconds despite punching himself in the face, there was something Alan did that always struck me as odd. He hearted a comment saying something like ‘should we be concerned about Orange’s narcolepsy?’ almost implying that we should be concerned? Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I haven’t seen him just heart “funny-haha” comments before. (I would also like to point out it is very possible for this to be planned out. These AvM video scripts were likely written after AvA’s scripts even if the videos were finished first.)
7) What next for Chosen doing things with the color squad?
- I think, despite the many, many issues that will come up if Chosen ‘play-fights’ with the others (as I stated as an Anon to Sammy), it would be incredibly healthy for him once he can do it safely and have fun. He was born wanting to fight. It’s his calling. And he’s really good at it. Finding a way to do it without hurting others? That’s the best thing he could ever have.
- Okay, and, what if, Chosen doesn’t quite understand why Orange doesn’t remember going super, but he decides that he’s going to get to the bottom of Orange’s powers and, in the process, starts training Orange. (It probably starts with Chosen being all, ‘come here’ and flies up, while Orange is just, ‘what? I can’t do that.’ ‘Yes you can. Do it.’ Of course, that blunt method of teaching is not going to work, so Chosen has to learn to communicate better.) Training may or may not actually be successful, but imagine him and Orange bonding.
- Both the color squad and Chosen adopting each other. They both parent the other in their own ways, and just. Be cute together. Chosen learns how to people and relax, and gets, like, super attached to these weak little sticks? So, the color squad now has an overprotective higher being watching over them, and the awe they have of his power is quickly cut short when they learn he’s never played cards before?
- The sticks also show off their skills to Chosen and he’s just. Confused. Why would you tap blocks just to make a sound? Make something to harvest wheat when you can do it by hand? Why are you eating that. Animals? Okay, actually, holding this cat is nice.
-
(I deleted my old conclusion on accident, and I don’t remember what it said. I don’t think it was important, though. Thanks for reading! Please share any thoughts if you have any!)
Okay but let’s not forget that by the end of this saga, Chosen One has lost his first ever friend (at the very least in the relationship sense, who knows about the actual life sense), and the animator took Second Coming and the others back to his pc, so Chosen is just…completely alone now.
I think the mood for Chosen by the end of this video is ‘completely overwhelmed.’

❗AVOID THESE PEDOPHILES AT ALL COSTS! ❗
I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across a post of KNOWN PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR (many of which have or want to rape actual children/minors)
THERE ARE ACTUAL PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MINORS ON TUMBLR
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS LIST AND KEEP OUR MINORS SAFE
Does anybody know if there's something like the opposite of "the big sad"?, cause it is 2am and i've been similing for the last 15 minutes
have the last five years been just a complete blur for anybody else
made this way earlier but forgot to post it 😅 here’s my 2020 art summary!
Time squad doodles/drawings from 2020 (April)!
“I’ll make you a deal. If you can deport me, then you can deport them”
people have asked me how i draw eyes so i made an extremely slap-dash eye tutorial! this is simply about how i draw a simple neutral eye, nothing to do with expressions (that’s a whole other thing).
start with the horizontal guide on the face, to help place the eyes. put circles where the eyes will go!
adjust the circles into diamond shapes– i got this idea from sinix design on youtube, it’s very helpful and easier to see where the lids should end than with a circle.
draw the top lid/lash lines, leaving a bit of space at the top of the diamond. keep each eye in time with each other– drawing one whole eye first makes it harder to match the other one.
then the bottom lids. i usually try to do all the lid shapes with a single curved stroke each. keep it simple pals!
irises & pupils. sometimes i’ll draw filled-in black circles for the irises, to help figure out where to place them naturally!
lid creases, use the leftover diamond at the top as a loose guide for where to place them. remember that the lid curves around the eyeball.
make adjustments! things don’t always come out perfect immediately. i usually have to thicken the lash line (i like mine quite thick), move the bottom lid up or down, and sometimes resize a whole eye (easier on computer than traditional, i know!). if you’re on a computer make sure to flip your canvas often so you can see these little things ❤
and to practice, just doodle a lot of small eyes! keeping them small makes them easier and faster to finish, so you can focus on your strokes and playing around with shapes, tilt, lid space, all that. don’t worry about making the irises perfect circles/ovals or any of that, just try to capture the character. have fun!
Evolution of Lyrics in
We Made It
The tense changes throughout the piece are noticeable. Louis switches to past tense when talking about the “first time”.
“Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine”
This is repeated the next time it rolls around. But the third time it changes:
“Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, and we're still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine”
This suggests that Louis and the other person making up this “we” I wonder who are still together and still making it. It brings their relationship from past tense, memories of college and band days to today.
Is it just me or does this sound like a coming out song?
NOT in the sense of Hi My Name Is Gay, but in the sense that the person who’s been by Louis’ side since he was dreaming about the success that he has now. From Uni days. Someone who was and is still apart of his life. And they are walking forward together or as Louis says:
Never coming down with your hand in mine
We Made It
Okay so uh, we made it is literally ABOUT Harry. And I’m kinda flipping my shit. (I wasn’t a directioner okay I found myself really loving Harry’s music when he went solo so now I’ve been drawn into this hot mess.)
But like the lyrics are so clearly about his time with one direction AND it is a love song. Like come on:
We Made It
By Louis Tomlinson
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Yeah, it's gonna be alright
Like the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Oh my, I remember those nights
Meet you at your uni', cheap drinks
Drink 'em all night
Staying out 'til sunrise
Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about
Things we'd never say to someone else out loud
We were only kids, just tryna work it out
Wonder what they'd think if they could see us now, yeah
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Knew that we would be alright
From the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, you were still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Oh, God, what I could've become
Don't know why they put all of this on us when we're so young (I’m gonna kill all y’all who hurt him)
Done a pretty good job dealing with it all
When you're here, don't need to say no more
Nothing in the world that I would change it for
Singing something poppy on the same four chords
Used to worry 'bout it but I don't no more, yeah
'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Smoke something, drink something
Yeah, just like the first time
Met you at your doorstep
Remember how we tasted
Looking into your eyes
Baby, and we're still high
Never coming down with your hand in mine
with your hand in mine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, no, no, no
'Cause we made it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, 'cause we made it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Never coming down with your hand in mine
Like holy shit y’all this is some beautiful gay shit
