Sunshine Revival Challenge #2

Journaling Prompt: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.


I love music. I play it as often as I can. I wear my earphones basically 24/7 outside of my room, on music tracking sites they note how much more I listen to music than the average person, I don't watch YouTube videos of people talking because it irks me that I could just read whatever they want to say while I get to keep my music on, and even within a culture that loves music I thought that I felt music more deeply than others when I was very little. (I now think that's probably not true, not because I have proof of otherwise, but because I'm less self-centered and "the world revolves around meeeeee"-brained than I was when I was 7. Hopefully.)

I also love animation. It's cool when someone can draw well, but you know what's cooler? When someone can make dozens or hundreds of drawings that, when seen in rapid succession, imitate movement. It takes a lot of patience and skill, and I always found it more appealing than live action. And when I thought anime was the coolest thing on earth, naturally my love for the art form quadrupled.

Now imagine... what if... some sicko combined music AND animation and created some kind of animated music video...

You're right. That would be really weird. Thank GOD no one's done it before.
