candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Of course, it was so lovely to get to share behind the scenes, and the Helluva fans have been so supportive and kind. I'm glad to hear that, hopefully I can get the story told one way or another! 🤞 010
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I am too 💔 I want to continue it as a comic, but the film was something special... Thank you for being interested in it, that means a lot. And I appreciate you sticking around for my other things too! 💜 110
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I was looking at my old art today... And its honestly devastating how much going to school for animation and working in the animation industry affected me. I used to draw so much, every single day. I'm trying to get my spark back, but burnout recovery has been hard. 0110
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 29/06/2026If you don't follow me on Tumblr... Maybe you should! I've started poking around on there again and it's genuinely still a good time. I left before communities were introduced, and it's exactly what I've been looking for!

candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 16/05/2026i just think it's a missed opportunity that they didn't put the jshlatt robot in a bikini 050
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 04/05/2026so like... what are we all doing with the 400 projects rattling around in our brains animation is expensive, comics are very time consuming, novel writing isn't my strong suit... can we invent a holodeck simulation or something where I can show people my blorbos already 3130

candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I've been working very hard on untangling my worth from my productivity. That includes work, side hustles, but also includes the pressure I've been feeling to keep up with indie animation peers. Let me tell you though... That shit is VERY hard. It takes a lot of untangling and unlearning 0150

candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I hope people will support me with my next endeavor outside of indie. I know not everyone will, or can, and that's fine. But animation doesn't feed into my life anymore. It never gave back. It didn't give me stability or peace. Now I'm only doing it on my terms and I'm so much happier. 151
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Make an indie project because you want to. Make it yourself, with friends, with other artists that wanna make something. If you have the cash for it, go for it. But don't expect to make money back, and DEFINITELY don't go into it thinking you'll be able to sustain yourself on it. 181
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Indie animation was never gonna pay my bills, not really. Certainly not my own project. I was very lucky, indie animation DID pay my bills for about two years, while I worked on as many freelance projects as I could. But it wasn't stable, was check to check & had me burning the candle at both ends. 120
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 14/04/2026This is why Andromeda Squad didn't cost a dime and I shelved the project I invested $4k into before I got caught up in sunk cost fallacy. This is also why I don't work in indie animation (or studio animation for that matter) anymore, and why I'm working on growing my small business instead. 160
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I thought that the "man falls in love with a woman, who is violently revealed to be a man in a dress, maliciously tricking him, and upon that reveal the man says he's going to kill them" trope was left in the past. But here we are, Smiling Friends proving me wrong. Boo. So fucking lame. 282

candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 30/03/2026sometimes.... i lowkey wanna start my online presence over and just exclusively infodump about my robot ocs. you followed me for animation or indie stuff? nah, it's just robots making out now 0110
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 28/03/2026And I'm gonna be honest, this whole process has been breathtakingly lonely. Animation folks online don't really know how to engage with someone who had to leave the industry, so any posts about what I've gone through is just screaming into the void. 591
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I feel this huge emptiness of a lack of closure. I'm good at storyboarding -- Not in a prideful, egotistical way, but just understanding where I stood among my peers. Not the worst, not the best, but good. But the industry just... Didn't want me? Idk, just hurting today. It's a grieving process. 181
candlebot @candlebot.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I'm going through a very long healing process when it comes to my animation career. As I'm working on my indie project today, I'm still very proud of my storyboarding. I KNOW I'm good at it. I'm just left with this empty feeling and this question of "What did I do wrong?" 1201
