I’m gonna be so real and vulnerable with you right now…… I really want ofmd to come back.

There, I said it. Wow. Feels good to get that off my chest.

[paleoleigh]

I'm gonna fax zaslav a picture of the times square billboard

25K posts out of spite.

Imagine what it'll be like when OFMD is saved and we're posting out of love.

Manifesting, babes. Manifesting. 🕯️

#RELEASECOYOTEVSACME

Made this animatic while attending church (and yes I PRAYED that #CoyoteVsAcme gets saved)

Audio by voice actor Eric Bauza. The absolute demand, aggression, and sass he put into Daffy at the Annie Awards reminds me so much of Duck Amuck.

Of course WB Discovery would remove the show from their streaming service just as it’s about to reach a wider audience with the new movie.

Fuck Zaslav.

[temporal-discounting]

One of these days, I'm gonna walk right up to Zaslav, pull myself up to my full height (all five feet of it), look him straight in the eyes, and say... "That was really mean".

That'll show him.

Oh GOD the fiendish David Zaslav is rebooting Harry Potter with a new "extremely faithful" adaption of the seven books. J.K. TERFling is heavily involved, she's executive producing, and they've made a TEN-YEAR COMMITMENT already.

Five Rapid-Fire Thoughts I Had in Reaction to This News:

Fuck Zaslav. (Btw, did I mention that — after deleting half of HBO Max's original content — Zaslav has now announced a price hike to the newly christened "MAX" service? As if giving a shitload of money to the planet's most notable TERF wasn't enough fuckery. FUCK that fucking shitheel.)

See below.

3. All y'all who were like "Boycott Hogwart's Legacy or You're Automatically a Terrible Person" or whatever because Rowling was going to make like a 1% royalty off of that game had GODDAMN BETTER boycott HBO MAX (....uh, sorry, it's just "MAX" now, I keep forgetting bc that name sucks — "HBO MAX" wasn't all that good a name to begin with IMO, but now it's worse) from here on out. YES, I know it's harder to boycott an entire streaming service that may contain OTHER content you want, but c'mon now, just bootleg anything you want off MAX in the future. (I'll help! I will send you a link or whatever if you need assistance. Message me. It's cool.) Because this is going to make her SO MUCH MORE MONEY due to involving her FAR MORE DIRECTLY. FUCK. WHY. Why did they fucking do this.

4. There are so many things in the books that are either A) poorly explained workarounds for continuity/logic issues or B) extremely problematic that the movies were actually BETTER for ignoring them. Can't wait to see the scene where every single known Time-Turner gets accidentally broken shortly after Prisoner of Azkaban in order to ensure the characters can never use time travel to fix their problems again! SUPER excited for the plotline where Hermione has to learn that she's silly and wrong for trying to free slaves because the slaves are fucking happier being enslaved! OH BOY!

5. God, a ten-year production commitment UP FRONT. I hope they lose so much money on this stupid-ass project that they wind up dragging their feet to produce future seasons for so long that the contract runs out before they've gotten farther than like, the third novel, and then it just dies on the vine. Would be HILARIOUS.

Seeing a lot of backlash for Our Flag Means Death S2 lately...

I'm not saying it was without flaws because, yeah, still not over Izzy myself, but may I remind people that Max had slashed the show's budget by a whole fucking 40%? Not only was the season itself 2 episodes shorter compared to S1, but the individual episodes were shorter on average, too. Just take a look at all those deleted scenes that never made it. Feels like they were forced to cut out half of what they'd actually filmed/written...

What we got in the end was so obviously NOT what we were supposed to get. And that's not the fault of David Jenkins or the cast or the rest of the crew. You can feel the whole final episode was hastily tacked on at the very last minute, that's why it made no fucking sense. But the rest of the season was genuinely the best they could have managed to do with what they had to work with, and most of the common complaints I've seen were specifically caused by the cuts. Jim and Olu not getting enough screentime? The polycule feeling like it came out of nowhere? Ed and Stede not having enough cute moments? Literally all of those were addressed by the writers saying that, yep, they had included all of those, they just didn't make it into the final cut because of all those restraints.

Most creators would probably have felt completely disheartened at those terms and stopped giving a fuck and just churned out the lowest-effort product, knowing it wasn't going to get renewed anyway (the writing was on the wall at that point; that's why they chose to give us that finale). But Jenkins and the team still put their whole hearts into it and gave us something genuine, unique, and full of love. I'll always grieve the S2 we should have had - but I still love and appreciate the one we got because you could still feel it was OFMD all the way through.

A very unhappy 1 month anniversary of The Cancellation to WBD, may their stock continue to sink.🕯✨️🙏

After years of fucking around, seems like Zaslav is finally finding out. 💅

WONDERFUL NEWS, EVERYONE

[tranquil-slaughterhouse]

David Zaslav being such a

cockbite

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

Owen Dennis went from creating one of the best animated shows in decades to being the showrunner for an Among Us TV series because David Zaslav doesn't value animation.

I hate this timeline so fucking much.

oh fuck ALL the way off. i mean look, at least it finished in a place that doesn’t feel like it has too many loose threads but still—

this thing was original, clever, fresh, unashamedly queer and extremely popular.

so of course it goes on the chopping block

[plantsjustwannahavefun]

All those missing scenes are destroying me. I'll fess up I was one of those people who grumbled a bit that Ed/Stede's relationship just wasn't doing it for me like it did in S1, it just felt like there was too much missing, not enough of those short adorable wholesome romantic moments full of little things that mean so much and show so much without even telling... I just couldn't understand at first, S1 proved the writers knew what they were doing, it was much too good to be just a fluke, an accidental success.

When the news about the slashed budget came out, the answer became clear, and those missing scenes just keep confirming it. We LITERALLY got robbed. We had amazing, dedicated writers who knew their shit and still got it, equally amazing and dedicated cast who just wanted to do their best, and they weren't allowed to deliver the story they wanted to deliver because of greedy clueless fucking top management.
