edited 22/02/2024 - my mum helped me raise the match goal from £100 to £200

edited again 22/02/2024 - I met and exceeded my goal! Donations are still very welcome because I think it's really impactful to show our collective donations, I will close this on the 27th when I am paid and can make my donation

Idea credit goes to @ibtisams and I was inspired by @stuckinapril and @geekydragon !

I am doing a donation match!

I will match every pound donated, from now until next week, up to £200! I will donate £50 regardless of the outcome.

-

1. Donate any amount you can to one of the places below:

UNRWA | Palestine children's relief fund | esims (link is a how to guide!) | Operation olive branch (any family that resonates with you)

2. Send me proof/receipt showing the date and amount, cross out any other information you wish

(currency does not matter, I will convert it and donate the equivalent in GBP)

3. I will update in the reblogs how much has been donated so far, and will make my matched donation on the 27th of February (when I get paid the money I plan to donate)

I'm currently planning on splitting my donation across the above sources, but I will donate £200 total.

-

If we meet the match goal we will raise £400 for people who desperately need it right now! It's easy to feel a small donation doesn't help, so hopefully this is a way to illustrate how it all does really add up.

Any amount helps, if you have £1 to spare please do, but if you can donate more I urge you to

If you have nothing to spare, please reblog and do your daily click

Idk who needs to hear this but time and time again isn't over!!!

Webtoon removed the "time and time again will return!!!" Banner and I don't know why, but it's not over!!! There's still another 1/3 of the comic to go! There's a lot more stuff that I'm working on and it'll be coming back soon!

Please be patient with me, I know it's been a long time... But the stuff I'm making is really good and there's a lot of reasons it's taken this long. I promise I want it back more than anyone.

I'm trying to come back around the end of October. I'm doing my best to get everything ready in time, so no promises, but I'm on track to do so! I'm just one person writing and drawing everything, and my editor was fired so I'm not even getting any notes anymore. It's literally just me. I'm doing my best I promise!

Something from the other week ago now: a pair of Lando and Oscar eyes for the lovely @bright-and-burning 👁

I used a different watercolour palette for these than my previous eyes, and I really really enjoy the colours and depth of them.

Daniel Smith watercolours (+ a bit of Polychromos coloured pencil in the irises) on Stonehenge Aqua cold press heavy 100% cotton 600gsm paper, approx 2.5x3.75" each

one thing that's missing from these convos about amc not submitting assad zaman for a golden globes nom that makes it 10x more malicious on amc's part is that a nomination isn't just like oh... ~simple appreciation for an actor's performance. even if there's no win, it results in a profile boost for these actors & them being able to command a higher salary when it comes to future projects. it's something that gets notice on their CV. these studios and networks love being able to market their shit with things like "starring golden globe nominee john doe" or "emmy winner jane doe." the emmys are more prestigious than the golden globes which are more prestigious than the critics choice awards (the one they submitted him for with two other actors lol). actors get nominated and have the opportunity to get attention from social media posts, article mentions, attending the red carpet, having their name announced and a little clip of their acting shown. that's not nothing! attention from possible new fans, publications, execs, peers, producers, directors, fashion houses & other industries which could lead to $$$ and sponsorships. I won't make any presumptions about the cast's finances but I do know amc is probably not paying them their worth, least of all the bangladeshi muslim who barely had any major roles in tv/film prior to the show.

there are fees and costs associated with submitting for awards consideration and FYC ads. the network basically took a look at assad's brown skin and name and said they don't think he's worth the money over the white actor who had less screentime and narrative importance (to the season ig) which is absolutely crazy lmao. it shouldn't be controversial to say that and you can't not discuss this without bringing up sam's name. this has nothing to do with whether he "deserved" to be submitted (and even if I said he doesn't deserve it over assad who's gonna beat my ass?). this white man isn't being persecuted by conversations about blatant racism. but I'd expect nothing less from this fanbase x.

All of the creatives behind CC and CT seem to genuinely love Yasammy, do you feel that's the case?

Also more importantly, is there anything I as a professional nobody can do to help support artists in the current action?

Absolutely! A lot of us always thought they should be together on both shows.

And yes, for those who are unaware-- our union, The Animation Guild (which many of the folks who brought you Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory are members of), is currently in negotiations with the AMPTP (The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, who represent all the studios who EMPLOY union workers) for a new contract for LA union animation workers.

There's a lot of different issues being negotiated over right now (including AI, better pay for undervalued crafts, and a vast number of craft specific issues), but I and many of my former coworkers have been personally affected by the growing trend of studios outsourcing more and more previously UNION jobs to nonunion workers, who are vastly underpaid and overworked without the protections that were negotiated for us here in LA.

I have personally been out of work since February. This can partially be attributed to the fact that studios haven't been greenlighting very many new shows. But it can ALSO be attributed to studios looking for shady ways to cut costs, and deciding they no longer value TV storyboard artists enough to hire them union and pay them what they are really worth (many outsourced storyboard artists are paid a third of what we are paid in LA). Practically everyone I know who I used to work with at Dreamworks TV (with the exception of 1 or 2 people who are about to hit their own end dates soon) are no longer working there, and many are also currently unemployed as well.

To be clear-- I do not blame outsourced workers-- they are also taken advantage of by the studios, and they are often awarded contracts based on whoever bids the least money and time, and then not treated fairly. In an ideal world, everyone should be paid the union rate with the union benefits if they are doing work for a union studio, no matter the location, and whether or not someone is hired should come down purely to whether they are a fit for the project, not whether or not they are the cheapest labor a company can exploit.

So! This (and many MANY more reasons, including trying to replace EVERYONE with AI) is why I am rooting for any and all gains our negotiations committee can make towards these eventual goals, as well as further protection of our current members this negotiations cycle.

I encourage anyone who has ever enjoyed anything animated and would like to support the people who make animation to check out Animation Workers Ignited for more information, to follow their page on twitter and on instagram, to follow the #StandWithAnimation hashtags (again particularly on twitter and instagram), and to retweet/share/reblog the updates, stories, and firsthand accounts of animation workers that are posted on these platforms to help keep us trending on social media while we're in negotiations. You can also make posts yourselves voicing your own support of us using the #StandWithAnimation hashtag! Please encourage your friends to do all these things as well!

Thank you for asking!

Queer as Folk – 2.17: You Can Leda Girl to Pussy

Unfriendly reminder that quite a few members of the stranger things cast and crew have been openly supportive of Israel and the murder of thousands of innocent people. A few pr statements to try and appease fans for no reason other than making more money does not change anything!

Do not support stranger things! Cancel your netflix subscription! Do not stream season five! Do not buy official merch!

DO NOT SUPPORT ZIONISM AND THE ONGOING GENOCIDE! FREE PALESTINE!

I would honestly call the left's inability to accomodate people with morality-based OCD compulsions an accessibility issue at this point.

I’m glad you approve of my ‘Binghe wishes not to be a half-demon and gets stuck in a terrible catch 22 situation’ idea!

It’s very fortunate that Shen Qingqiu doesn’t actually hate Heavenly Demons at all. When Shen Qingqiu inevitably gets into some trouble that he can’t escape, and Binghe speed runs his demonic corruption he can go save him, of course Shizun will still love him!

I was thinking about what sort of Heavenly Official the original heavenly demon was, and had the sudden, brilliant, idea that they were the Ling Wen of the PIDW heavens. In other words, the head of heavenly logistics and paperwork. 😂

First, that means that Binghe would be stuck in more or less the same role as Shang Qinghua, which is hilarious. Like father, like son, no?

Second, if anyone in the heavens is going to be susceptible to ‘murderous rage’ heart demons (which seems to be what Heavenly Demons suffer from), I think the poor soul in charge of logistics is it!

I wonder if Binghe’s fall could make him a slightly different flavor of Heavenly Demon, since he’d be succumbing to obsession heart demons, not the murderous rage sort. 🤔

binghe grumbling under his breath, carrying a tower of babel-sized pile of scrolls, because the higher ups found out he was shizun’s over-qualified secretary in life and now he has to somehow prevent his only remaining boss from dying so he can avoid the responsibility of taking over himself.

he didn’t even want to be here! who do these people think they are?! of course, he can’t do a sloppy job. it would reflect badly on shizun! curse it all.

what do you mean the huan hua palace master imprisoned shen qingqiu?! and you’re telling me this as an aside during a fucking meeting? MOVE

and thus, they are reunited.

i think it would be funny if tianlang-jun would actually want to take binghe’s job. they swap so binghe can get to his shizun (and prevent him from, somehow, transferring his soul into a mushroom?? where does his shiun even get these ideas!!) he maybe finds su xiyan there.

YESSSSSS GOD SPY BINGHE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
