RUNTIME: About 4 minutes (this definitely turned out a bit longer than I expected, but I still think it was worth it) I was originally planning on posting this on my alt (since it's not canon to my regular animations), but I feel like this project is important enough to just have on my main account. In this anima... I mean, slideshow, my own robot character, Gage The Gadget, has an important conversation with @Crystal_Butterflies's robot character, Dereck. This project was made for @Crystal_Butterflies in particular, but I also dedicate this to anyone else who's going through the same struggle (that being self-doubt and annoying fans), which is something that even I have experienced before, as almost everyone does. To Crystal, and everyone else, I will say this: Don't give up doing what makes you happy, and you don't need to force yourself to make projects if you don't want to, or don't have the time to do it. In the end of the day, we all know that you're still trying your best, and that's what really matters. Don't listen to the Derecks. Listen to yourself, and people who actually care about you and your work. Dereck belongs to @Crystal_Butterflies Gage The Gadget belongs to me Robot voices courtesy of Microsoft TTS (yes, I know this isn't Dereck's ACTUAL voice, but I didn't know where to find his original voice, so this should make do)
