(banque de personnages) Magriel

Pour rappel, les Magriel ont un système politique ressemblant à s'y méprendre à la démocratie athénienne : les politiques sont donc tiré.es au sort, et gardent leur poste pour cinq ans avant qu'un nouveau tirage au sort n'ait lieu.

Les Sylvains ( x / x )

Le cercle elfique des forêts est le plus vaste et le plus peuplé de toutes les “ sous-races ” elfiques. Iels ont élu domicile dans les bois de l'Est.

 5/5 libres ;; Les branches - dirigeant.es des sylvains (2 postes sont à pourvoir dans les postes vacants).  x / x ;; Les Sylvains - peuplade du cercle sylvain. (3 vous sont proposés en poste vacant).

Les Immortel.les ( 12 / 13 )

Le cercle elfique céleste se compose des descendant.es légitimes des Immortel.les d'autrefois. Iels ne bénéficient plus de cette fameuse immortalité, qui s'est perdue à force de dilution génétique. Iels ont élu domicile dans les hauteurs de Lilcairn.

 2/2 libres ;; Les étoiles - dirigeant.es des immortel.les (les postes sont à pourvoir dans les postes vacants).  10 / 11 ;; Les nuages - peuplade du cercle des immortel.les, descendant.es légitimes des immortel.les d'autrefois. (3 vous sont proposés en poste vacant).

Les Sauvages ( 21 / 21 )

(ces elfes sont exclusivement de sexe féminin).  2/2 libres ;; Les Rubis - protecteur.rices de l'ensemble du cercle.

Au fucking revoir Mister Prince

[sighed-the-snake]

The Paris Olympics insisting that athletes compete in the Seine is so absurd it feels like something Terry Pratchett would want to make fun of. Like can you imagine him writing a Discworld story about a mad Ankh-Moorpark city official deciding to put on some ancient extravagant game, creating havoc in the city by bringing in all these foreigners to compete, and insisting the Ankh river, which is so filthy it's basically solid, is perfectly fine to swim in, because that's what they did in ancient times so that's how they're going to do it now. I feel like it would be a Night's Watch story about the people hired to clean the river and all the friends and horrors they discover along the way.

Good luck to all the athletes swimming in the poop water.

Strike is on. Actors will be joining the writers on the picket lines. This is the first strike in 60 years for SAG, and essentially shuts down the entire US film and television industry.

[mistsofavalon13]

i just checked wikipedia and the 2007-2008 writer’s strike was only 99 days long. the strike that shows up in the wikipedia pages of every show from that era with a blurb on how it affected shooting and release schedules.

we’re on day 113 of the current strike, with no end in sight.

[deadsprout]

At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!

Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.

How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.

So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.

Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.

What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.

Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.

Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!

Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

Hey y'all. With the Writer's Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called "residuals," which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I'm seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad's full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.

Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃

Edit because I fact-checked myself after the fact, my apologies:

TAG (The Animation Union) already exists and covers animation artists & writers. The above petition is about ADDING specific production roles to the union, and asking Disney to voluntarily recognize that unionization.

original text of the post with clarifying edits below

don't forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals [edit: but it is covered under TAG!] and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.

please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union [edit: in the already existing TAG union!] and reblog this post!

what black mirror episode are we in now

Huh.

So I randomly remembered Croc is pretty much Italian.
