Have any of your listener designs become the canon version? And for who if so?
Listeners are definitely tricky as they're supposed to be audience stand ins, BUT there have been a few cases where my listeners have become the VAs personal canon!
First one that comes to mind is Faith Koria from @goodboyaudios Bastard Warrior!
I came to GB with the concept that she had more African features, and he loved the idea and made it canon to his canon! Hence why the official art of her brother is also black! Now that Faith has an official voice, she's more of a character then a listener. So you can consider this art accurate to her character!
Another option would be Raven from @escapedaudios Neon Noir, but that's a more complicated story
I headcanoned that Raven got a Crow tattoo on her back, shoulder and neck to memorialize Crow at the end of the series and going into Neon Wings. Escaped really liked the idea! but my headcanons had already infected enough of that series and I felt bad, so I asked him to not include that one lol You can blame a lot of Ivan's look and backstory on me though! I came up with his birds and their names, his prosthetic leg, and his actual design!

i was tagged in this by @yeolville and @pupchanyeol which is so sweet and kind of them :( honestly this is such a tender way to express gratitude for relationships weve cultivated or sustained through such a difficult year. so uh...im going to take this opportunity to be emo under the cut <3
@jamaisjoons -- oh my solar flare. you were the first person i thought of when i saw this post. the very reason i think i enjoyed being on tumblr as much as i have this year. i tell you all the time that you are the best at creating community, the best at inspiring those around you to create more, to do more, to live more. your heart is an enormous vessel capable of incredible things. i dont believe ill ever really have words enough to express how much you inspire me. you made writing so much fun again. made writing here feel like a community again. you made tumblr feel like home again. and thats not even how talking to you regularly on a personal level has made me feel. i treasure our friendship so dearly. im so happy i stumbled upon the dragons princess. im so happy you even decided to reply to my long, rambling, adoring review. if that hadnt happened we wouldnt be here. my year would look so different without you, without your humor, without your heart. please dont ever think of yourself as less than a sun on this website. you are a blessing <3
@yeojaa -- my love ;~~; did you know that i treasure you? that i adore you? i feel so lucky to have someone who understands my air sign nonsense. that understands my phases and has similar ones. two air signs trying their best to love each other lmao its chaos. but you have made this year so fun. with your amazing writing, and your amazing gaming, and your amazing attitude, and your amazing heart. you inspire me daily and i am so, so, so looking forward to the day i can have you on my couch, feed you a bagel, and make you one of my artisanal coffees. even if all we do is play overwatch for 30 hours on end, i think that would be the most amazing day.
@suqakoo @guktro @luffles424 @inkedtae -- i met you all in the latter half of this year but you have made it so special. watching your ideas and your energy flourish, getting to know all of you, seeing how you push yourselves to do more and fight for what you believe in. im honored to know all of you. honored to witness you. <3
@yoonia @sugaurora -- i know i didnt meet either of you this year technically, but i was able to come off tumblr this year and have a few more personal conversations with you. something about having you both off tumblr and in my phone made my heart soar. being in discords together really helped me see how creative and inspiring you both are. i admire you both endlessly and feel so grateful i get to share ideas, share plans, and engage with you both in a more interpersonal way. im so grateful for your presence in my life. thank you for continuing to inspire me <3
@sahmfanficbts @hobi-gif -- the way i love you both should be comical. you both are such positive energies i get excited every time we speak. whether it be music or fic or just life, i treasure your presence in my life. i think of you both frequently throughout the day, hoping that the universe gives you the blessings you deserve. its been a hard year, but you both have been utter sunlight <3
@loeybeans -- my mari. i truly honestly cant believe you only started reading my writing this year, that we only started talking this year. i remember the day you reblogged light sakura. i was taking a walk in an empty park, just before new york closed everything down. it was sunset and i cried because you understood everything from that fic. honestly it feels like a lifetime ago, like ive known you for years. like you might have known me for years. but its hardly been a year. i look forward to every conversation, every opportunity to catch you before you start another project of greatness. i look forward to every opinion you have on my writing, every love note you have for chanyeol, every thought. my mari you have made this year so so brilliant.
there are so many countless others ive spoken to more frequently this year even tho we didnt necessarily meet this year. too many to truly name. ill just add some other new people here even if we havent actually met in 2020, this is the year we engaged together more and i love you for it. @bikeryeollie @delhyun @yutacrush @chengf @kimkaijong-in @baek-byunies @ahgishaman @blackberrykai @hkynm @junghelioseok @kimtaehyunq @kittae @taestfully @heartcravings @ditzymax (you deserve literally the world your support has been endless) and so many others. know that i love you.

hey ive been meaning to ask this for a long time but you work in movies, im guessing as a script supervisor? im in school finishing up a media studies degree but i want to go into tv or film production, maybe broadcast. could i ask if you have any advice for what to study or how to get started?
yeah, I'm a script supervisor!
uh this got like 3x longer than I thought it would lmao so I'm putting it under a cut
the tl;dr is: work on student films especially while you are still a student yourself; join facebook groups for productions/crew calls in your city; most people's entry into the industry is as a production assistant; befriend as many people as you can and make sure they all know what your specific ambitions are, so that when those opportunities come up you'll be the first person on their mind
I'll be honest, I studied screenwriting in college but I never took a single film production class and technically my degree is in "liberal arts." I definitely didn't go to Film School and real talk I barely feel like I can even say I was a film STUDENT lmao
so regarding "what to study," I think getting a degree in media studies will suit you just fine and is probably better than what I left college with!
(this is maybe a little disingenuous, because at the end of my senior year I did have the opportunity to do an intensive program where I went through seven weeks of preproduction and six weeks of production on a feature film. so I technically did leave college with some on-set experience and something to put on my resume)
I don't know what crew positions you're interested in (if you wanna talk more about script supervising let me know!!), but for like 99% of on-set positions, being a production assistant is a GREAT way to start out. the vast majority of people start out PAing and transition to other departments from there. every production is always looking for good, reliable PAs. sometimes it's a "you gotta have experience to get experience" kind of thing, but more often than not (ESPECIALLY in the low-budget indie world) producers will be willing to take a chance on a rookie because they could use all the help they can get, and because they pretty much all started out on the bottom as PAs, too. and if you're a PA who can drive (esp trucks but literally anything honestly) then you'll be even MORE valuable
now don't get me wrong, PAing sucks. I know a couple people who like it but I've always hated it. you're the first one on set and the last one to leave, you do a lot of odd jobs and gruntwork (so many folding tables. oh the number of tables I have unfolded). a couple times I was sent out to wait outside a dunkin donuts at 5 am so I could get the director an iced coffee as soon as they opened. you have absolutely no authority, BUT it's still your responsibility to make sure that everyone stays quiet during takes, the actors get out of wardrobe at the right time, etc. it's a lot! it's a lot and it's exhausting and it's THANKLESS work. but it's necessary work, which means there is always need for people who will do it
once you're there, befriend as many people as humanly possible. talk to all of them about your goals. if they like you, they'll remember you, and the likelihood they'll call you for the next gig increases exponentially
as for getting The First Job, though, there are film production facebook groups for every major city I can think of, and they are FULL of people posting jobs, as well as just networking and asking for advice and just chatting with other people in the industry
student films especially are a great way to get on-set experience and just add credits to your resume (trust me nobody will check them, they'll just want to see that you have any credits at all; my resume is full of five-minute shorts my friends produced that will never see the light of day). unfortunately 99.9% of the time they're unpaid, and I do NOT recommend working for free, but I understand that sometimes it's all you can do. (personally I only work for free for my friends, and only a select few of my friends, but it took a while before I felt confident enough to set that boundary for myself.)
now, while you're still in school, is a GREAT time to knock out some shorts and start building your credits. it's hard if you're studying remotely right now, but if you're on campus then ask around, ask your professors, find out who's filming their short for x class or y thesis and ask if they need people on set helping out (because I guarantee you they do. they probably have one person on camera, maybe one more helping w lights, and if they're lucky they found a single person on earth interested in doing sound. they'll be sourcing their own costumes and props, actors will be doing their own hair and makeup, etc. their crews will be BARE BONES and they will love you for saying "I'm here to help, use me however you need")
it's bullshit but this really is an industry built on knowing someone who knows someone who knows someone, so the best thing you can do is to just befriend as many people as you possibly can. befriend your professors. befriend your fellow film students! (they may have connections that you don't, and more importantly you'll all be newbies entering the industry at the same time and you'll need each other. trust me on this. these people will be a resource you tap into again and again, especially if you're in a department a little less common than production or camera. I get recommended for a lot of gigs because for most of my friends, I'm the ONLY script supervisor they know.) befriend the people in these facebook groups! don't be afraid to ask them "hey, would you be willing to let me shadow you for a day?" most people remember what it's like to be just starting out and struggling to get your foot in the door. most people are willing to help if they can. if you meet one asshole, you met one asshole. there are so many more who are kind and generous and eager to help. I promise
I hope this is helpful to you and not. overwhelming lmao. I'm sorry it's a lot sldfsdf if you have more specific questions please let me know! film work is grueling and intense and frequently utter horseshit but I feel so honored and privileged to be able to do it (on some level for me it very much is a function of privilege), and if it's where your passion lies then I hope you create every opportunity you can to go after it
