Moonflowers Lament: Warriors Storyboarded MAP Call (BACKUPS OPEN) Ludicrous Lunatic 2024-05-12 | EDIT 6/6: Backups will remain open and available! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc22bpYpf2PKNn-KaGJjHzh0iTiV2QIW8w7nDDgUT9-CfgvHQ/viewform?usp=sf_link In the wake of Moonflower's death, her daughters Bluepaw and Snowpaw are crushed by the devastation. As they deeply mourn the loss of their mother, the sorrowful spirit of Moonflower watches. Before she passes on, she makes one last wish for love and prosperity to come her children's way... but will that wish come true?-----------------------------Hello everyone! This is the long awaited release of my very first (and hopefully not last) MAP call! This project first came into being all the way back in 2021, and I had written a loose script and made a design for Moonflower. However, my life was way too chaotic for me to have the time and commitment for a project of this scale, so I kept it in the backburner until the beginning of 2024. Here we are now, my thoughts and plans brought into a completed physical form! I've always been immensely inspired by the MAP scene for the community's dedication and love for their respective series, and I had always dreamed of hosting one of these projects myself, so here we are!This MAP is first and foremost a love letter to my favorite book in Warriors, Bluestar's Prophecy. When listening to this song I always envisioned Moonflower (Bluestar's mother) singing a lullaby to her children, wishing them fulfilling happy lives as she moves on to the afterlife. As readers of the books will know, unfortunately their lives were instead filled with hardship and pain, especially for Bluestar. The intended theme of this MAP is the sad, cruel irony of the song mixed with the source material.I want to give a huge shout-out to my friend Luyeshin for all of her help with this project! She's stuck around since its inception back in 2021, giving me the encouragement and support I needed to see this through! I also have her to thank for helping frame out the last minute of the storyboard, she really helped me bring those scenes written in the rough draft script to life! Here's her channel, please support her amazing work! youtube.com/@Luyeshin?si=s1wO_9_j-7g4OCG9 View the parts playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNhI-o4bryVFIFZU3FjmcwGdgYNE5tY9&si=OE4WuT6e5ql4xr_k Discord is required for participation in this MAP!

Shiny Roaming Entei on Pokemon Silver After Only ~300 Encounters! Ludicrous Lunatic 2023-08-17 | I started the shiny hunt for any of the three roaming beasts on my Silver about a week ago, and I found this Entei after only about 300 tries! I don't record my hunts live anymore, so I ran from it and encountered it again to record the sparkles. I'm hoping to get the other two shiny as well! Here's the guide I used to help me with this hunt: youtu.be/hTP5vPYqdHQ

Gravity [Half Moon MAP] Part 2 Ludicrous Lunatic 2023-01-21 | This was my first attempt at true frame by frame animation with no frame skips, including solid shading! This was excellent practice for having the character interact with their environment (the wind blowing, snow flying, shadows as Half Moon exits the cave, etc.) The animation goes at 10FPS, though there are some aspects that go at 20FPS. I spent around 30 hours total on this over the course of 2 weeks. I hope to only get better from here!Complete MAP: TBAMAP Call: youtube.com/watch?v=O3eXo18cCS0
Warriors (Wings of Fire MAP) Part 4 Ludicrous Lunatic 2022-09-30 | This was a fun experiment with tweening! It's not perfect, but it helped me learn more about using CSP's animation tools!
Kerosene Meme: Prism Ludicrous Lunatic 2021-08-24 | EDIT 8/24/21: Just now realized that this was unlisted for some reason. Got it up for the public now!This is my first finished animation in many, many years! It's nothing substantial, but I'm very proud of it anyway! It stars my Wyngro character, Prism!Link to original meme: youtu.be/Sytj6Nip43wMy Deviantart: deviantart.com/ludicrous-lunatic
Breaking My Bones (Warriors MAP) Part 18 Ludicrous Lunatic 2021-08-07 | Here is my part for Luniper's Breezepelt MAP, Breaking My Bones!

I had so much fun working on this, I can't wait to see the finished result!!Link to MAP call: youtu.be/PaQqH0I03w4Link to finished MAP: TBAMy DeviantART: deviantart.com/ludicrous-lunatic
(TW: Flashing, blood, and horror) Washing Machine Heart (Warriors MAP) Part 17 Ludicrous Lunatic 2021-06-13 | Here's my part for another MAP! I had a lot of fun messing with different art styles!This part of the MAP is a hallucination, hence the messy effects, broken anatomy, etc. I hope I got that across!Link to MAP call: youtu.be/zW5VwXT06-0Link to finished MAP: TBA
Warriors MAP: Dynasty Part 13 Ludicrous Lunatic 2021-05-26 | This is my very first MAP part and my first serious attempt at animation!

It's been an incredible learning experience and I hope to join more and get better with time!My DeviantART account: deviantart.com/ludicrous-lunaticPrograms used: Clip Studio Paint + Windows Movie MakerLink to MAP call: youtu.be/p8tRhx73DnALink to finished MAP: TBA
My Pikachu Card Collection! Ludicrous Lunatic 2020-09-06 | This has been a collection in the making for over half of my life (since I was 8 years old back in 2006!). These are sorted in the order I received them.
Live Sparkles! Shiny Xerneas found! Ludicrous Lunatic 2020-08-12 | It's been a long time since I've caught a shiny's sparkles on camera! I haven't made videos in a long time, but I thought I'd share this awesome shiny! It's Lax nature btw, and I caught it in a quick ball! I plan to transfer it to Sword and make it a better nature and ready for battle! Super pumped to finally have this, I've wanted it ever since we discovered these shinnies all those years ago!
Drawing a Thing Ludicrous Lunatic 2017-08-29 | My first attempt at doing this, I'm hoping it goes smoothly!
teh tru area Ludicrous Lunatic 2017-01-07 | This is a direct sequel to this: youtu.be/5wuYV1VTDsgCredit to GMD-Pikatron for the wonderful music! youtu.be/PZi5ak73HVoThis is the first time I've tried something like this so I'm sorry if it sucks... though technically it's supposed to lol
(UPDATE VIDEO) Something wrong with Gold version + all my current 2nd gen shinnies! Ludicrous Lunatic 2016-11-15 | If anyone can tell me what's going on with my Gold version, I would really appreciate it! I plan on purchasing a mega memory card very soon so I can keep these shinnies! I apologize for the sloppiness of the video lolYou can skip to where I show my shinnies at 7:03 :)
[ISHC 2016 #1] Shiny Articuno on Blue Version after only ~2,000 soft resets! Ludicrous Lunatic 2016-07-15 | I can't believe this happened! I got this so quickly! After only approximately 2,000 soft resets, I got my beautiful shiny ice bird! Also, I'm sorry for not posting anything recently. I've found shinnies, including a Dratini from the game corner on Silver and Lugia on Silver, too! I had a video for Dratini, but it got deleted before I could upload it. As for Lugia, I was in public when I found it, so I couldn't make a video, unfortunately. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video! I apologize for the low resolution/quality. I had to use the smallest video size possible to save space on my phone! I'm going for Zapdos right now on both Blue and Yellow. Wish me luck!
Shiny 2nd Gen Ho-Oh on Gold Version after only 103 SRs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2016-03-01 | My first shiny on Gold Version! I had gotten my Cyndaquil on Silver a while ago, and I was hunting Ho-Oh and Lugia on Gold and Silver respectively. And after 206 soft resets (103 on each game), I got my shiny Ho-Oh! It was the third soft reset of the day, too!
[WSHC#1+RANDOM] Shiny Vulpix on LeafGreen after only 3 Eggs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2016-01-15 | I decided to stop my badge quest and just hunt random targets on LeafGreen. I wanted a Timid Vulpix, so I began breeding because I wasn't about to try to catch a bunch if roaring Vulpix in the wild... Then this happened..I can't believe this happened... a random shiny on LeafGreen, and it's hatched from an egg! I was going for a Timid Vulpix through breeding, and I got a random shiny one! I finally got my first point for the WSHC! ...iT'S STILL NOT CYNDAQUIL//shot
[LIVE!] Shiny Virizion on Omega Ruby after 782 soft resets! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-12-13 | Before I say anything, yes I do have the shiny charm in this game, so this shiny doesn't count for the WSHC.Go to 3:25 for the shiny encounter."ooooOOOOOOOOOOOH--" that reaction thoShiny Virizion! One of my favorite shinnies of all, and I got one live! My intention was to get a shiny competitive Virizion for battling purposes, hence why I had a synchronizer (adamant) up front. That didn't turn out the way I wanted, but I really don't mind. It even had max IVS in Attack and Speed... but it was a shitty nature... hnngI hope you guys enjoy my video, regardless!...it'S STILL NOT CYNDAQUIL
[LIVE REACTION + LGBQ#5] Shiny Lapras on LeafGreen after ~17,600 SRs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-11-27 | Note: I honestly stopped keeping track of the SRs once I had reached double odds, but I know for sure that this hunt took around 17k SRs!I finally got to the halfway point of my badge quest! It took so long! Hopefully the next few hunts on this game don't take nearly as long :( My reaction was quite bland compared to my Beautifly reaction, in my opinion. But then again, my Beautifly was a much rarer find than my Lapras :)
[LIVE!] Shiny 1% Beautifly on Platinum after ~2,000 REs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-11-10 | Hooooooooly crapThis has to be my rarest shiny find of all time, and I got it live! This is my first full odds live shiny!Sorry for the freakout, btw. I was extremely hyped and shocked that I found a 1% shiny :)EDIT: I named this Beautifly "Serenity". I think it's a nice name for it :)
Our new Kittens Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-08-13 | These are our two new kittens! We named the small tabby with white paws Forrest, but we don't have a name for the gray and white one yet :( they're both very cute and affectionate towards all of us. The white kitten sure lives to be pet! He's not fond of being on my lap or being held though. Forrest loves cuddling (though he didnt feel like it in the video).I hope you enjoy the shirt video. I'll upload more shinnies once I get them.
[LIVE!] Shiny Stantler on Omega Ruby after 210 DexNav Encounters! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-07-24 | Skip to 1:05 for the shiny My first live DexNav shiny! I don't see many people hunt for shiny Stantler specifically, so I decided to give it a go :) I'm aware that chaining doesn't really effect shiny odds, but it's slightly faster if I defeat them and find another right after. I had less of a risk of finding a different shiny since I did that anyway. I did this whole hunt live, and my camera position makes my back hurt after a while,so it was a relief to sit up normally when I finished this video haha ;) If you would want to see more DexNav shinnies from me, just let me know. :)
[LIVE SPARKLES] Shiny Latios on Alpha Sapphire after approx. 600 Runaways! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-06-17 | I'm back everyone! I've gotten Masuda Method shinnies, but none that were worth recording. I haven't gotten a shiny Legendary in a while, so I decided to hunt for shiny Latias's sparkling brother! I didn't keep track because I didn't really feel like it, but it didn't take very long so I'm sure it was less than 700. (About 30 today).Like always, I hope you enjoy the video! I'll try going for Zekrom next, once I can get one of my level 100s into my Alpha Sapphire.
[LIVE HATCH] Shiny FEMALE Eevee on Black 2 after 147 Eggs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-05-12 | I hope to get more 5th gen shinnies soon! I haven't found very many shinnies in this gen so I decided to hatch this little Eevee!
[LG BQ#2] Shiny Jigglypuff FINALLY Appears After 30,874 REs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-03-30 | Oh my god... I hope I never EVER have a hunt this long ever again...But the good thing is, I got my target! Jigglypuff was my first ever obtained shiny, and to see it appear again in the same gen is very satisfying! I'll be back with more updates on my badge quest eventually!
Sylveon Aint Taking None O Yo Shit Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-03-29 | Bow down before Sylveon, the Mega Rayquaza killer and the overall badass.
[LIVE SPARKLES] Shiny Cresselia on Omega Ruby after only 75 Soft Resets! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-02-21 | Yes! I got one of my dream shinnies, Cresselia! It only took about a day of on and off hunting!IVs:HP: 31Attack: 31Defense: 0-30Special Attack: 31Special Defense: 31Speed: 0-30
[LIVE!] Shiny Spritzee on Omega Ruby after 928 eggs (1,128 total)! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-02-17 | I hatched 200 Spritzee on my X Version before ORAS came out. After a few months I decided to pick this hunt back up! Spritzee/Aromatisse is one of my favorite shinnies in 6th gen (next to Xerneas) and I have my hands on this purple fluff at last!She has max (31) IVs in Special Defense and Speed. I really didn't want it to have max Speed, since I planned on making her a Trick Room sweeper, but I don't really mind too much. Shes a Quiet nature (+Special Attack -Speed) and she has the egg move Wish. I hope you enjoy the video! See you when I get my next shiny! :)
[LIVE!] Shiny Yamask on Omega Ruby after only 7 Eggs! Ludicrous Lunatic 2015-01-19 | I can't believe it! After only SEVEN eggs, I got my cute little shiny Yamask! I hatched a few at school and I decided to hunt it live after six eggs. And behold! The first egg of the recording was the shiny! I usually only record one egg at a time because my phone doesn't have much memory *shrug* By the way, her IVs are:HP: 31Attack: 0-30Defense: 31Special Attack: 0-30Special Defense: 31Speed: 31
[LIVE!+FLOYT?] Shiny Fletchling on Omega Ruby After 273 Eggs!

I started this hunt around midnight today because I was bored and wanted this shiny for a while :'D I hope that you enjoyed watching this video! I was such a derp while recording lol xD
[FOYT] LIVE! Shiny Contrary Snivy on Omega Ruby after 158 Eggs! [READ DESCRIPTION!] Ludicrous Lunatic 2014-12-23 | PLEASE NOTE: I didnt know that this was technically hacked until I was notified. HA starters from Unova are now able to be freely wonder traded, sent into the GTS, and put into Pokemon Bank, so I believed that the event was out and began this hunt. However, I was wrong. The real event comes out in Japan on the 28th of January. So until then, this Snivy of mine is technically hacked. But I still love him anyway ^^ OMG! I got the first live shiny CONTRARY Snivy on Omega Ruby after 158 eggs!! This is so amazing!! It's the first one in the recording, sadly.By the way, I completely forgot to show no shiny charm, but I can assure you that I don't have it. :3I have lots of extra Contrary Timid Snivy if anyone wants any :)
