HEYO! 🎈

To those who have bloons td 6, i hope youve heard of the new map editor that just got added! yeah, i covered it just yesterday but ive got something to announce for those who want some g/t...

I made my own custom maps involving giant pin (because i can)! 🍎📌

they might look pretty average but honestly, that's the best i could do hehe... i did use tricks such as formatting and sketching to assist myself into making them, but i still can't persist for longer despite that. looking very detailed anyway!

so HERES PIN HOLDING OUR PLANET AND LYING ON THE OCEAN... play them by copying their IDs above, and i hope u enjoy the small g/t dosage on your favorite strategy game!

"There’s quite a bit of preexisting solidarity between Ireland and Palestine. An early November 2023 poll found that 71% of Irish people saw Israel’s response to October 7 as “disproportionately severe,” a response that a review by a Utah State University student described as an outlier within Europe. While many Irish protesters as well as UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese have criticized the Irish government for not taking a meaningful enough stance, Irish individuals, representatives, artists, and writers have loudly advocated for Palestine.

As Coughlan told Teen Vogue editor in chief Versha Sharma, “There's a huge connection between Ireland and Palestine that maybe a lot of people aren't aware of, and a shared history.” That includes a “shared history” of hunger, as noted by Irish TD (Teachta Dála, or representative) Catherine Connolly last week on Democracy Now! (and echoed by Harris in the statehood recognition announcement).

“Our solidarity is immediately with those who suffer in any way, but particularly from famine,” Connolly told DN!’s Amy Goodman.

In Gaza, the head of the UN World Food Program has declared “famine is already here,” according to the New York Times, which quoted the president and chief executive of Save the Children US, Janti Soeripto, as saying of the conditions in Gaza, “We have never ever seen anything like this anywhere on the planet.” Almost three months ago, Oxfam described the conditions in Gaza as “catastrophic levels of hunger and starvation…the highest ever recorded on the IPC scale, both in terms of the number of people and percentage of the population.” Just under half of Gaza’s population is under 18.

“Our history of being colonized, our history…we know how to speak truth to power,” Connolly told Goodman. “At least I would like to think that we have learned that lesson and we are gradually freeing our own minds from being colonized and realizing that our role in the world is to speak truth to power, to call out injustice when we see it happening.”

Ireland’s 19th-century Irish potato famine was a byproduct of colonialism, which forced Irish peasant farmers to produce potatoes for English and Anglo-Irish landowners, leaving them exposed to crop failure and resulting in mass starvation.

...Conversely, the Irish have been furious with President Joe Biden, who since the war began regularly claims his Irish heritage. Clare Daly, Ireland’s representative to the European parliament, has gone viral repeatedly for condemning the war in Gaza, but as early as January was sending a message to Biden: “Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.”

I timestamped a couple interesting topics on Laurie Elliott's interview (Jo's VA), she wrote plenty TD episodes including EX-Files.

28:45 - What's your favorite episode of Total Drama that you've written?

[EX-files is my favorite episode of all time] Yes! That's my favorite episode! […] It is, because were in the room and you don't know what episode you're getting to write. […] So when we were discussing the area 51 episode, and I love sci-fi, I love all like space stuff, and I was like 'Oh I hope I get that one' and I got it! […]

35:07 - Who was the one that came up with the love triangle?

[…] Love triangles and any major story component like that, it is discussed between the story editors which would have been over the years: Alex Ganetakos and Shelley Scarrow, Terry McGurrin, just people running it through and they would say 'Okay, we are thinking of this' and then in the room we try to figure out different arcs and stuff for that […]

43:59 - "World Tour was so fun, yes. I think Terry and Alex, that were our editors so they're our bosses, and we got to write a song for every single episode. That was really fun, It's a fun challenge to be able to write a song and also the fact that I got the area 52 […] that was special. There are some episodes that you write and you're so excited to write and that was definitely one of them and it felt like the process went very smoothly, and you never know as a writer […] you just don't know what episode is going to accepted by the executives and the network and everything as awesome or if it's going to be the best thing you've ever written and then it'll come back and it's just like 'We have to rework this whole thing!'

55:34 - Favorite Total Drama character, other than Jo

I love Owen, obviously […] I love writing for Beth, because she is such a weirdo […] she makes me laugh a lot, a lot of her antics comes from left field and I like when I'm surprised by characters […] I also love Gwen, because she's got that kind of dark, like you know gothy aspect to her.

1:00:03 - What's your favorite Total Drama season?

[…if it helps it could be a season you were on] Yeah, I did really love that season […] but I really loved World Tour. I love World Tour because it was, I think were 26 episodes for that one so it was a really long one whereas subsequent seasons were 13 episodes and then another 13 episodes made a different season, so with World Tour we could really sink our teeth into the character stories, and the fact that we were going all over the world meant so many different opportunities for challenges, so that to me was really fun […]

Internsona information only I asked for

Lola(she/they)

I’ve decided they are 5’10 after referencing everyone Else in td height and deciding if people can be over 7 feet 5’10 isn’t that tall

She has light brown hair that used to be fully black but can't get ahold of any black hair day (Wait until they find Chris's and can finally do touch-ups)

Her first job (They've done a library internship that was kind of casual before but they want this for their resume as proof of non-existent people skills)(She didn't realize it was for a T.V. show and thought it was a film camp and she knows how to edit)

Ace/Aro

Friendship love languages are parallel play and giving gifts

Kind of like a bird(collects shiny things and loves seed pockets are constantly full)

Terrible sleeping habits even pre-job

Likes exercise (running and lifting weights)

Helps to research and set up challenges + monitors cameras at night to scan for any plot-related film to forward to editors

TBC

#OTD in 1922 – In reprisal for the executions, Liam Lynch, Anti-Treaty IRA Commander, issues a general order to his forces to kill members of the Dáil (T.D.s) and senators who had voted for the Emergency Powers legislation.

In response to the executions, on 30 November, Liam Lynch, Chief of Staff of the Anti-Treaty IRA, ordered that any member of Parliament (TD) or senator who had signed or voted for the ‘murder bill’ should be shot on sight. He also ordered the killing of hostile judges and newspaper editors. On the same day, three more Republican prisoners were executed in Dublin. On 7 December, Anti-Treaty IRA…

We are writing this letter to encourage Disney leadership to do the right thing and recognize the demand of Production Coordinators, Production Managers, and Production Supervisors to join IATSE Local 839, The Animation Guild (TAG). This is the same union that represents the artists and TDs we work alongside each and every day. The Walt Disney Company is a massive company with a legacy that spans 100 years. It is time for Disney to recognize the contributions that production workers make to ensure the creative, financial, and cultural success of Disney’s animated features and special projects. It’s time we have the protections of a union like our MPEG editors and artists and TD colleagues in the Animation Guild.

Production is a craft in its own right, and by forming our union we are saying we deserve to have viable and sustainable careers paths, living wages, and the ability to retire with dignity. Currently, our compensation does not provide a living wage nor does it match the value of the work being performed to deliver these million and billion dollar films on schedule, on budget, and at the exceptional standard our great studio is known for. We want equity in our representation and to have access to the same fringe benefits as our artist colleagues.

Production Coordinators, Production Managers, and Production Supervisors advocate for our respective department of artists constantly, and it is past time that we advocate for ourselves to join TAG.

The historic, vast disparity between artists and production workers does not reflect our partnership with our artist peers and the important contributions the studio tells us we make. Including Production Coordinators, Managers, and Supervisors in TAG would be a step in the right direction toward erasing that disparity.

Disney, we demand you do the right thing and voluntarily recognize the IATSE and its Local 839, The Animation Guild as the exclusive representative for all Production Coordinators, Managers, and Supervisors. Trying to exclude half of us based on a standard not applicable to our industry based on current practices is an attempt to divide us. It will not work. The endurance of Disney for the past 100 years is only made possible by the workers who create the beloved films and shows that have inspired generations. Wouldn’t it be incredible if Disney began their next 100 years by recognizing and supporting their workers’ rights to organize?

Sincerely,

Production Coordinators, Production Supervisors, Production Managers, union represented WDAS employees, and additional supporters
