#archive art initiative

[amethystsoda]

the US animation community is banding together to provide resources, information, and fight for proper pay, limiting ai, and against random cancellation!

Here’s their linktree with the social media and other resources:

[amethystsoda]

yesss absolutely, check out Libby and Freegal music because both of them partner with your local libraries to bring you free books and music!

I want to add, however, the type of books you SHOULD archive are the ones that are out of print, limited edition, etc. Things like art books for games, movies, tv, and animation fall into that category.

Buy the books if possible to support the creators.

Archive otherwise.

Mmmmmmmm the brain demons are winning so we’re doing like… these little things- but they’re for a loose oc TMAu (Im assigning ocs to fears it’s not that deep, sigh)

Anyways this is Vulture, he’s an Avatar of The Hunt. He probably has rabies and he will bite you, but he’s a lil guy!! Got raised in the wilderness so uh- very feral, 100% a little anklebiter!

He’s a polite fella tho, will leave you animal bones as a gift!

• archive media that’s important to you before it’s labeled as “degenerate art” or becomes lost media. Streaming services will not always stream. Game platforms like Steam only provide ACCESS to a game not a forever copy. Save the things you care about.

if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

build community & involve yourself locally

learn self sustainability skills

choose kindness

protect others & yourself

join or build a mutual aid group and/or network

find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)

happy mid-autumn festival!!! i hope it's a day of good fortune and reunion for everyone! i yearn for the day in which i am able to eat a mooncake.

much to my chagrin this drawing appears very different on desktop and on mobile but oh well. i think i'll take a crack at writing an ID for this one, just because there are a few characters! including xunyang 83 everyone else is offscreen lol but they're there i promise

[ID: a scene depicting a moonlit picnic to mark the start of mid-autumn festival, featuring several characters from MDZS, as well as two of the artist's own characters from a fic titled Dawn Chorus. in the bottom left corner sit Wen Zhuliu, Wang Lingjiao, Mo Xuanyu and Wen Chao. they are conversing pleasantly. the bottom right corner hosts Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng, Jin Zixuan and Jin Ling, alongside a puppy version of Fairy. Jiang Yanli has brought her famous soup, as well as some spring rolls. Jin Ling is lying down and holding a lantern as his mother strokes his back. Jin Zixuan has a loving arm around his wife's torso. behind them, Jiang Cheng is attempting to wrangle Fairy and keep her from eating their food. above and to the left sit the Dawn Chorus characters Wen Xun and the fic-specific version of Xue Yang, who has his arm around him as he laughs. they've brought wine. in Xue Yang's lap sits an infant, Hexie, who is reaching out to a fruit gleefully offered to them by Standard Edition Xue Yang, who is sitting a bit ahead with A-Qing, Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, who smile at the scene while drinking tea and eating. they've brought a platter of crab. to the right of them sit Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, who are happily holding Lan Sizhui between them. their snack is watermelon. behind them, just arriving, are Mianmian, who is carrying her daughter in her arms, and her husband, who is carrying their lantern and food. behind them is Wen Qing, who is calling out to Wen Ning, who is rushing up to her with a smile and a box in his hands. the corner of a blanket in the top left and the top of someone's head in the bottom right suggest there are more people at the gathering. a few white flowers bloom on the grass everyone sits on, predominantly around Wen Xun. every picnic blanket has mooncakes, and most characters brought lanterns. many other lanterns are seen floating by and up into the sky, towards the full moon. the atmosphere is friendly and lighthearted. /end ID]

'A' Is For... by virginiainbloom - Chapter 7

He steps closer, but as he does the Captain sees his big, ridiculously brown eyes flicker with a sudden distraction, and then Anthony smiles. “You've got glitter…” he says very softly, touching the pad of his finger first to his own face and then, so lightly it's barely there at all, to the same spot on the Captain's face, just to the side of his nose. Goosebumps rise up all over the Captain's skin, even though he's anything but cold.

Initial sketch under the cut.

part 2... they finally stopped fucking around and kissed woah........ (not pictured is the scene moments later where yakou ruins it by whining about the loss of his cigarette (truly tragic))

(from series' author and artist Tony DiTerlizzi on instagram)

"Well, this isn’t the news that blackholly and I were expecting, or that anyone wanted to hear. Getting a series made is a Herculean effort, and the folks at gotham_group and paramounttelevisionstudios have worked tirelessly to make that happen. So much passion, talent, and magic went into this show from the cast and crew, and my hope is that Spiderwick finds a home where it’s wanted. This Disney math just doesn’t add up. #SaveSpiderwick"

WHAT the bloody F.

We talked about making it

I'm sorry that you never made it

And it pains me just to hear you have to say it

You knew the game and played it

It kills to know that you have been defeated

I see the wires pulling while you're breathing

You knew you had a reason

It killed you like diseases

I can hear it in your voice while your speaking you can't be treated

Mr. Know-it-all had his reign and his fall

At least that's what his brain is telling all

If he said help me kill the president

I'd say he needs medicine

Sick of screaming let us in

The wires got the best of him

All that he invested in goes

Straight to hell

Straight to hell

Wires - The Neighbourhood
