What on earth is making this sound!?

I’m so sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit!!

For context, it is nearing autumn in the UK (if we need specifics I live near Southend / I live in Essex) and it is current 10.33PM

I trying google searching and it’s saying fox or owl, or even an invasive deer?? Knowing how unhelpful AI is, I’m turning to the zoologists of Reddit!

If it is just a plain owl or fox, I’ll be one embarrassed Brit- but the sound scared me so much!

I heard the sound earlier (about ten mins earlier) and it sounded like two cats fighting, but when it happened again just now, it sounded like apes. (It’s currently happening again as I type this)

Listening back to the video, it was actually so much louder than what was picked up.

Thanks so much to anyone who identifies it!! <3

Edit: Guineafowl!!

Eddie is self aware?

After finding the letters and imputing stuff into the URL (with thanks of a user on here who put a long tutorial for it!), I noticed something about the videos:

Return the letter called ‘mail’

The letter shows a >!pawn chess piece!< which crosses a bridge towards >!Home. Wally answers the door and sounds very controlling. He is very demanding towards Eddie and considering Wally is the only one you see the entire body of, I wonder if the imagery of Eddie as a chess piece plus the treatment towards Eddie in this video hints are Eddie (and possibly the other neighbours) being Wally’s pawn.!<

Return the letter called ‘Perspective’:

This one’s just HUGE speculation, BUT’ >!Sally is dating poppy and Eddie is exes with Frank - this is atleast an actor AU(?) and might not be connected to the main line. Poppy and Sally are stated explicitly, while Eddie talks about a grumpy man who secretly likes a thing he made, who wears loafers (sounds oddly familiar!< >!🤔!<>!)!<

Return the letter called ‘Everything’:

This is where the title makes sense. >!There are static-y video clips in the background of Eddie, it looks somewhat like someone puppetterring a puppet of him - hinting at him being self aware, or atleast can feel himself being puppeteered (considering this is followed by horrid headaches for him)!<

Furthermore, >!he talks to his paper cutter as if it is alive, and at the very end you see him put his hand under there against his will - going back to my theory about Wally controlling Eddie/Eddie being Wally’s pawn, this could be Wally inadvertently harming him? I believe the blade does lower as at the end, Eddie’s fingertips are bloody.!<

Return the letter called ‘Devastation’;

This one made me feel so bad for Eddie. >!It shows a potential lover, a woman by the looks of it, who is represented by a shillohuette filled with real life scenery, emphasising the unreal nature of her, or linking to his close ties to reality - he might have broken the fourth wall once or twice when the show aired? He has his face cradled by ‘reality’ before she disappears when he wakes up from a nightmare. His sheets rustle next to him, and at the very end you see three dots on the window behind him. They look somewhat like eyes? Somewhat like Wally? But it’s probably my tired delusion.!<

Return the letter called ‘Nothing’

This is found by >!rearranging the hearted letters on each letter btw!<

>!This is the complete opposite to the Everything letter - somewhat. It starts the same, Eddie complaining about how he’s working (I forgot the actual words but to that effect). This time, he collapses. Full on collapses, gasping for air, knocking into everything he contacts. His headache is much stronger, and the realism in the background is more vivid but doesn’t last as long. At the very end, he looks up to see the home warming tree - this could mean these events happen shortly after those home warming events where Eddie gets sick and does home (if I remember right) and I believe he had headaches which must have continued to when he got home.!<

Cool finds!

>!Frank..has a gun..?!<

>!We can visit franks house now! As Wally. You click on Frank’s grandfather clock? You get Wally’s shadow right back at you. Apparently people have been able to get to Franks’s room using the key you find? Doesn’t work for me :<!<

>!The parcel Julie had for Frank is missing. Eddie might have delivered it?!<

>!Frank and Julie’s faces both have the paper texture - both get ripped - signifying the stuff that’s happened to them? In theory, this might mean we get something with the pair and Eddie in the next update since Eddie’s suffered this update?!<

>!Can’t remember if this was like this before - Wally’s voiceline is just ringing, not his ‘That’s the most!’ Like the caption underneath says.!<

Thank you to the person who put out the tutorial! If anyone wants clarification, to share theories, or wants the URLs, lmk!! <3

How do I go about looking at them?

My results day is on Thursday. I tried my hardest but I am so scared I won’t get the grades I want for sixth form. I’ve been stressed out for about a month now and it caused me to (kinda) ruin the family holiday cause I was so sad.

I have a few options for looking at my results, but I don’t know which is best:

- lock myself in the bathroom at school or at home and look

- wait till I’m outside with my parents

- with my favourite teacher

- with my twin sister or my friends

I feel like every option has their downsides - I’ll be alone if something goes wrong, I will feel judged if I do badly, again I will feel judged if I do badly in their subject (History if anyone’s curious), I might do better or worse than the person I’m sharing it with and we will both be worse at the end of the day

So what do I do? I’ve been pondering this for over two weeks now

Does this count as tracing?

I was drawing a horse for my cowboy OC’s character sheet so he could have his horse - I only traced over my reference with the block shapes (drawn in red) and then all the actual lineart was freehanded going based off the reference window feature that procreate has with the image in it (if that makes sense) - so I didn’t trace the whole image, just the basics. Idk if this still counts as tracing, though, and I’ll redraw it if it is tracing - I’m still trying to get used to horse anatomy TvT

My Wouldn’t you Like Animatic won’t be going ahead.

I have been trying my hardest, but I’m not used to animatic drawing and so I have realised it doesn’t look good put together. Ontop of this, I have my exam results in less than a week - giving me extreme stress - and I am due to begin more education in a few weeks time. Due to this, I will be halting production of the animatic and might return to it once things clear up and I’m more used to that kind of content.

I apologise to everyone who was looking forward to its release. It’s not cancelled as of now, but no progress is going to be made.

Animatic progress! CLIPS IN REPLIES) (No audio)

I remember a few people being interested in my project, so enjoy some little animated clips!

Fun game : guess what the lyrics are for each clip/ what section of song is it! (Song: wouldn’t you like)

Is there anywhere people can get mailboxes and railings?

(Sorry if this has been asked before, I’m just curious since I’m not a big fan of the defaults)

Hermes and Ody design + Animatic update!

Really rough sketches for the designs here, but it’s something for me to work off.

I was about a third into the snippet before realising I hated the designs and I’ve redesigned them - so guess what? I’m remaking all of that animatic before I continue!! Yay!! [sob]

u/BetterSomewhere3987 — 3 months ago

My Hermes design so far! (First interaction, a huge WIP)

I’m not very good at anatomy so please ignore that- my traditional artstyle is different to my digital!!

Do I plan on making animatics? Possibly!! My ability to keep consistent is horrid so it’ll take a while..

What inspired my design?: A lot of Hermes designs in EPIC have the shadowed face. I also drew inspiration from the animals he is associated with, and the statues! He has the winged head (I just realised I never gave him a hat, that’ll have to be my next interaction. </3) and imagine he has the Talaria (?), his shoulder pads are to represent his association with tortoises and athletes, the mail pin for his work as the messenger god, a lucky rabbit/hare’s foot, goat horns and ears and cadecus earrings! This is my first interaction so it’s a huge WIP, but I thought I’d share the beginning! :3

What animatic will I do if I make one? Probably just a snippet of Wouldn’t You Like since I wouldn’t be able to do the full song, probably just the very beginning as a test!

Please give me recommendations and constructive criticism, it means a lot!

u/BetterSomewhere3987 — 3 months ago

Enjoy a lil Qifrey+Agott doodle based off the dragon scene!!

3 hrs worth of work..heh…sorry if the casting seal is inaccurate or the anatomy is (likely) off, I tried my hardest :3

u/BetterSomewhere3987 — 3 months ago

Guys genuinely how do you do the PJSK comic style?

I’ve seen a bunch of fanmade OC comics, but everyone who does it (atleast from what I’ve seen) gatekeeps how to do the style. I can’t find a single anatomy sheet anywhere either. I just want to draw my silly little OC comics </3

What do I do. I feel so empty.

My partner broke up with me 4 hours ago. Our relationship was the first healthy one I had. Lasted 2.5 years and I hoped we could get it to 3. They broke up with me due to them fearing their mental health was hurting me. I’ve told them that I completely understand and will give them the distance they deserve. I told them how proud I was that they were so honest, as apparently this feeling had been going on for a while, but they were too scared to hurt my feelings. I feel like it hurts more knowing the thing I was dreading had been in existence for a while.

They said they understood if I hated them and didn’t want to remain friends. I said no, I will remain their friend if they allow me, and we can establish the necessary boundaries to separate lovers from friends. I don’t think I’ll ever get over them fully, and it hurts me to admit that I will still love them long after they move on from me.

Nearly 3,000 pieces of media, 15,000 messages and 100 hours on call. All gone. I feel empty, and I’m scared I won’t be able to feel loved like it did.

After I take my time to grieve, I don’t know whether I try dipping my toes back into romance after a few years, or I leave it for a long long while.

For anyone in my situation or has been in my situation , does it get better? How do I comfort myself and them if they allow me? This was my first true relationship, and I don’t know what to do - I don’t know how any of this works.
