My sister and her friends tend to spin off AUs with their characters like nobody's business so you're definitely not alone there XD

_{Meanwhile I'm not that imaginative though my shadowshifter species seem to end up everywhere}

Glad you have the laptop back in order, everything working out all right now? After Effects and Illustrator aren't exactly "entry level" things, and also last time I used Illustrator about a hundred million years ago I swear it was completely different to anything else I'd been using at the time so unless that's changed or you just happen to have the right type of brain for it, it is going to be interesting to pick up XD you'll get there :)

Sketchy turned out good, and gif processes are always cool XD (I really should learn how to make them but I'm so lazy)
