I was running out of ideas (like every day) and resorted to doing something more abstract, when this idea came to me. The last time I worked with liquids were day 33 and day 16 , so I combined the splash (for which I didn't have enough time on 16, which is why the splash only had a couple of frames) with the shading of the icing, which worked OK here because paint has a similar texture.
Also, nice little perspective exercise. Well, as far as perspective is concerned, this might have gone better, but it doesn't matter all too much here, because noticing the errors is hard with something as abstract as a paint spot.

Tell me what you think and what kind of thing you'd like to see in the future.

This is exactly how it goes when a plapper takes too much fall damage

I need to do more with fluids. They never look right, but they're so much fun. But it's so much work!

Well, the reason this one doesn't look right is simply because it's a plapper, and not a fluid. It's got 6 legs, then two arms, and a head, all with proper dimensions and consistency and going the right way, and then it dies.Β It even comes in hot like a comet, just like the animal would.Β So that's the part that makes this splat look like a fluid, but I'm certain this one is a plapper. Or... WAS a plapper. Do you have any animated fluids that look more like fluids I should see now?

I killed a Plapper? What have I done!?
*features reply*Do you have any animated fluids that look more like fluids I should see now?Nope. I have cloth falling into a cup. I have paper moving in waves. I have a blue-tongued pipe which isn't animated. I have several underwater scenes, which truly look like underwater scenes, because I have labelled them accordingly. I have weird lines emerging from seemingly floating objects. I even have a flying island with a plastic pond and a blue tail (not animated) and I have two ghosts falling from the ceiling.
Additionally, I have a lava lamp, soup, a melting cube and unspeakable horrors of animation.

I don't think I get fluids just yet. Somehow, I prefer working with plasma. Freezing plasma in a moment of time is easier, I guess.

The splat makes me think of Nickelodeon's old logo.

Oh. Maybe I shouldn't have made it red, then.

I thought Nickelodeon's old logo was orange?

Well, this is confusing! I probably meant red. Because the above is red. Huh.
