people: the separatists weren't so bad they were just deceived. they were right to want to fight the Republic because it was corrupt and arrogant etc etc

the original statement the first organisations to join the CIS rallied behind:

Were the names 'Trade Federation,' 'Corporate Alliance,' Commerce Guild' and 'Techno Union' too subtle? Did they have to SHOUT "we're in it for the money"? Because it was the intention that they do, and I can only imagine it got cut because it was so on the nose it was becoming painful.

one of my favorite senarios to imagine to put yukio in is sending him 10 years into the future (with the exwires usually) and everyone from their class are like chill adults including himself working their boring ass exorcist job and hes trying to assert dominance over them as the teacher™ but they're all like bro why so serious?

AI and cuts in the animation of series and films in the big studios so that this animation evolves over time it is necessary that all animators make independent animation projects for the industry also evolves today and if the big studios are too stupid to see that they are creating their own competitors in the future so they do it because by their existence they will be scared faster than they think about it

side eyeing u vs talking to her wizard boyfriend

[malewifehenrycooldown]

‘You’re not considered a wizard until you join a wizard guild’, yeah and? Just because you wrote that on a sign doesn’t mean I should take it seriously.

Anyways. Going to make freelance wizards an actual thing in my fair.y t.ail canon.

My fandoms and my fandom neighbors!

TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!

TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.

If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.

We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

Hunter Black Page 336 - There's No Point In Lying

What I Said Then: Nothing.

What I'm Saying Now: See what I mean? It's the same outfit in a different color. I mean, it looks better to my eye, but...why? Why did we stage the scene this way? I wish I could remember.

Commentary: The State of Catholic Publishing, Marketing, and Sales

The world of publishing is fascinating, complicated, and irrational. Take that complicated dynamic and add into the mix marketing and purchasing Catholic fiction in particular. Recently, I was looking to add a fiction purchase or two onto an existing purchase of several Catholic items from Catholic stores online. My shopping experience resulted in no purchases from any of the online stores I…

Can we give a round of applause to the Buffalo Stadium Community Inclusion Task Force?

Last year, the state of New York agreed to give $850 million taxpayer dollars to the Buffalo Bills to build a $1.7 billion dollar stadium. Because New York taxpayers are giving so much to this project, rules were put in place that stated when the stadium was being built, “36% of construction contracts” were to be given to businesses owned by minorities, women, and service disabled veterans. When…

" The #workingclass artist is #canaryinthecoalmine of #culture ; I believe shortest distance between #artist & audience will save #motherearth ; My work seeks to nourish #cultural #immunesystem & #democracy ” pls support My #AuthenticIndies™️

”   The working class artist is ‘canary in the coal mine’ of culture. She represents the free-spirit in everyone.  Today’s increasingly authoritarian, indentured servitude economies where even ‘the arts’ enable 1-Percenters in earning obscene profits, leaving working class artists out in the cold of newly de-professionalized systems with shredded standards, was preceded by the gutting of the…

a kinda long post about my ship with Ly.on V.asti.a and my self insert Nova Celestina, and their melancholic-ish meet cute (?)

Ly..on and Nova meet each other for the very first time at the Fai.ray Ta.il Guild, not long after hearing some of its members have gone missing (and that Sirius Island, a place these missing members went to has ‘vanished’) and that the local search parties have turned up NOTHING.

they both go to said guild to hopefully comfort the remaining members who are there. To share a moment of giref and provide a helping hand or two.

Ly..on goes with Ju.ra because Lam..ia Scale has pretty strong ties with FT, and so really it’s just to lend a shoulder for these members to lean on if they ever need help or assistance (of which also Blue Pegasus does too).

Nova goes for for a more personal reason, as that even as one of the few independent freelance mages in Fiore (with no guild attachment), she still holds a special place for Fai.ry Tai.l. It was her old guild after all until aspects of her own personal life had to take priority. She still thinks about the people she was growing up with, and how much they meant to her, and still mean to her. She does find herself thinking about them in even the smallest of tranquil moments when she isn’t taking on a freelance job or being hired on the spot.

Anyways, the two meet each other for the first time at the Fairy Tail Guild and try to offer remaining members support and sort out deals as to what they can do to help them if their other members don’t turn up. It’s essentially a moment for people at the guild to take time to grieve and mourn their friends and compatriots.

Ly.on reflects on how he and Gra.y could have fixed their relationship, because even if they are rivals, he still cares about him. I personally headcanon that Gra.y is like the brother Ly.on never had,the two never always saw each other eye to eye, and sometimes there were arguements that could be deemed as petty. Now Ly.on will never gain the opportunity to fix that relationship after finally being given a second chance by his old childhood friend, let alone be able catch up on their relationship.

It particularly hurts him, especially with their last face-to-face communication being the Nirvana Arc, and Gra.y is the reason why La.Mia S.cale are a legitimate guild now, and Ly.on has turned around his life for the better! but now that opportunity to thank Gra.y is gone… and it breaks his heart into pieces, because he can’t make up for lost time.

Nova just misses the guild that she once called home. And she’s been overdue for a ‘proper’ visit (she briefly shows up in the Phantom Lord-Lucy Rescue Arc to fuck some shit up against PL) but she didn’t properly stay around for long. Even if she left at a young age, fa.iry t.ail still said she could return whenever she needed to, because fairy tail always left their doors open to former members to return whenever they need to.

It was a place she once called home, and now is ever more the opportune time to come back home when her family needs her most. However there is an aspect of.. fearing for the guild’s safety. Fai.ry tai.l is unfortunately a guild that other rival guilds love to target and intimidate. Now with their highest and most capable members missing or worse dead, they can’t protect the guild to the extent than they used too. Even when Gildarts came back, he joined the others to Sirius Island. Nova wants to not just support her old guild and guild mates, but to try to protect them too. She is a relatively powerful mage, having cosmic/chaos devil slayer magic, but even then, it won’t do much because other guilds can take advantage of a mourning, grieving fairy tail in other ways aside from magic (I.e: absurd taxes, owed debts, just general financial abuse and bullying).

It’s just an extra layer of salt added to an already angry wound. It’s just unfair that other guilds will target another simply because it’s taking the time to process grief and move on.

During this… sad/melancholic atmosphere at the FT guild, Ly.on and Nova kinda hit it off well. It does start small but later they become more conversation throughout the day there, talking about their connections and relationships to Fairy Tail and it’s members, telling funny stories and just generally enjoying each other’s company. That’s the general starting point of how they meet, but really the way they fall in love is partly due to their shared connection to Fairy Tail and how their experiences with the guild have changed and helped them improve as people.
