“Who’s Nico and what happened with him?”
Nico Colaleo is the creator of Ollie & Scoops and TOO LOUD which viv did some animating on and voices/voiced a character on.
if you go to google images and search “vivziepop nico colaleo” you’ll see *lots* of social photos of them together.
he seems to be on good terms with viv and iirc has defended her in the past in the vein of those saying “she’s super nice y’all!!”
there’s also a screenshot of nico DMing an artist to check if they were working on viv’s stuff where he explains that he’s checking bc viv didn’t want people hiring her artists. (i’m paraphrasing of course and also pretty sure i have this screenshot somewhere but not currently on-hand, will toss it in your ask box if/when i find it.)
Thanks for the info. Someone also said something about Vivzie going behind his back to tell people not to support his project?

Beauty, dress codes, and fashion: Examining twenty fictional White female librarians [Part 3]
Continued from part 2
Screenshots taken from fandom gallery of "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" episode of The Owl House; a Dutch nun in 1992 and a Hungarian priest in 1935
Even more simplified is Amity Blight in The Owl House, who is directly shown as a librarian in the episode "Through the Looking Glass Ruins". As she travels into a dangerous/forbidden section of the library to help her friend Luz Noceda, she wears a library employee card in a lanyard around her neck, a black short sleeve dress, black point shoes, and orchid leggings. In the episode, she ties up her hair in a typical librarian style, as shown in the image above. She looks similar to those working in religious libraries, especially a nun or even a priest.
Reprinted from my Pop Culture Library Review WordPress, where this post was published on Nov. 29, 2022.
When I saw what she was wearing, it immediately make of something religious. Wearing the color black can express self-confidence, sensitivity, an attempt to impress someone, could indicate someone has a rebellious nature that doesn't accept authority, exudes a person's feelings of power and influence, and building walls to protect themselves. It doesn't necessarily make you "part of a suspicious sect" or anything like that. Rather, wearing black-colored clothes can be classy, mysterious, or distinguished. More specifically, some have argued that wearing black can be slimming, elegant, sexy, chic, or even overbearing and evil. Most of the positive qualities are the reasons that Amity is watching it, as the wearing black-colored clothes can signal "a desire to reclaim one’s power." [13]
Inter-related with this is the fact that librarian and library perform a specific role "in the language of fashion," employed in phrases like librarian chic, conjuring imperatives and fantasies on librarians, their labor, and recognition. This centers "class-privileged white women" as the stewards of librarianship and space of the library itself. Furthermore, cuteness can compel viewers to place value on what is cute, worthy to be desired, protected, and cared for. As such, if Whiteness is seen as cute, it is devoid of its "power to inflict violence" and is not threatening. The latter is the case with Amity, as often seen by fans, as she is clearly attractive, delightful, appealing, or even clever and mentally keen, and is White. [14] In that sense, the styles of Amity and Kaisa are somewhat similar.
Amity is also a lesbian, something which I mentioned back in October. Like everyone else, lesbians internalize societal standards of appearance and weight, even though they were more critical of "traditional social norms" when it came to roles and rights of women. A large number saw physical attractiveness as "important in a partner," even though such attractiveness was functional rather than a concern for looks like straight women. Not surprisingly, there is even a fashion style known as "lesbian chic." [15]
Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz, archivist at the Lesbian Herstory Archives, argued that librarians are marginal due to enduring values just as lesbians are marginal, noted that lesbian is a sexual orientation and a "constructed political identity." She also said that all lesbians may not be "equipped to be librarians" with a lesbian "subject specialty." [16] Amity may not have that specialty, nor may she know nothing about lesbian herstory, lesbian separatism, or lesbian feminism, but she would provide service of a high caliber to patrons and fight lesbian erasure at the same time.
Like Amity, other librarians also have their own style. This includes Mo Testa in Dykes to Watch Out For, public librarian Myra in The Public, Sabine in Sabine: an asexual coming-of-age story, Desiree, Sara, and Sarah, her two work colleagues. The latter three characters are in Too Loud, an animated web series. Starting with Mo, a lesbian feminist and reference librarian, is described as a "worrier and kvetch extraordinaire" on the comic's official website, she has a "penchant for striped clothing" just like the comic's author, Alison Bechdel. This means that Mo is falling into the style of being "overly conventional," and not as colorful as, let's say, drag queens. [17] The same can be said about what Desiree, Sara and Sarah wear while working at the library. Their clothes falls into typical wear like cardigans, dresses, brown pants, and sensible shoes. However, when Desiree finally dresses up in more girly clothes during the episode "Slumber Party," it makes clear what the now defunct Misfit Librarian's Style Catalog blog tried to prove: that librarians are stylish people despite some a perception of the opposite. [18]
Myra and Sabine also wear simple clothes, but nothing that could be called "dated" or "conservative". Sabine, even more than Myra, exudes a level of coolness as she is also a student as well as a part-time librarian at the college library. This is something that even the New York Times recognized years ago, noting that emergence of hip and cool librarians in a profession described as "nerdy" and a haven for "left-wing social engagement." More than any of the other librarians in this post, Sabine is more trendy and fashionable, although not as dedicated to fashion trends as those like Sam, Alex, and Clover in Totally Spies! to give three examples. Very few of the librarians I've described in this post are those are either wear hair in a bun, wear glasses, or a cardigan, with librarians getting a bad rap for the latter. [19] Rather they tend toward being more stylish, especially in terms of Amity, who dyes her hair green (her original hair color is brown) and later lilac, and Kaisa, who has put purple streaks in her black hair.

I agree with the anon on Nico. I've actually met him in real life and he's actually not a bad person, but rather an insecure adult who want to maintain friendship with others as much as possible (basically a lonely guy who desperate for friends). It's sad that he still hasn't realize he was being manipulated, especially after I learned that Vivz went behind his back to tell others not to help/support his project.
Holy shit, did she really?

The Promise of Rad Sechrist’s “Project City” [Part 2]
Continued from part 2
Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs, my History Hermann WordPress blog on Jan. 23, 2023, and Wayback Machine. This was the tenth article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on February 6, 2022.

[1] There is also an extensive terms of service agreement, privacy policy, feed and search sections.
[2] In one of the comments, Sechrist revealed that “Netflix told me to never pitch them anything like that ever again” and that’s why they “went independent.” That is unfortunate to hear about Kipo, but not surprising. He also noted in September 2021 that he wrote a movie about Wolf, but Netflix “made them remove any stories from Benson Wolf or Jamack from seasons 2 and 3.” So, that sadly will probably not happen. He has been relatively active on the Kipo subreddit. Earlier, he confirmed Asher as a non-binary character and noted Asher was non-binary because some on the crew were non-binary. Sechrist also said they had 30 episodes from Netflix “from the very beginning” and wouldn’t let them do any after that saying that is “sort of the way Netflix wanted to operate.”
[3] See Sugarwaltz, Thomas Crane and the Mind Machine, Last Knight, Starbound, Biopunks, Laundry Monsters, Knightlights, Lumeon Lands, Magicless, Wandered Here, The Chippy and Loopus Show, Kix and Gigglz, Atlantica, Tall Tales of Magic and Mages, Mag-Tech Noire, Soggy Bills, Power Up!, Immortal Age, Galactic Homerun, The Great Run, Almost Hero, The Culling, Bhoodham, The Space Stragglers, Book of Worlds, Unresolved, Seer, Project N.e.w.m.o.o.m.e., The Ball, Cation Princess, Weirdogs, Seldom Manifest, Westwoods, Plot Armor Academy, Black Liquid, Deadboy, Epic Temple Quest, Ad Lunam, and Juvenile Delinquests. There’s also a train simulated web series named San Juan Branch Line, animated films Jupiter and Europa, Lyrics for the End of the World, and Dinonauts, collection of short films named Conquer, a game named Yasuke: A Lost Descendant, a streaming channel on YouTube named Blutoonztv, and a music video named Daylight.
[4] Of note is the webzine, Erika the Typewriter, the horror comic Be Right With You, the steampunkish webcomic World Post Evil, and a later-to-be graphic novel named The Enchanteds, along with the graphic novels Wildertale, Departure, Hearth in Space, and a manga series entitled Project Rogon Zero.
[5] This is different from the approach of Nico Colaleo who said in a February 2021 podcast that he hopes to make Ollie & Scoops bigger and bigger until the series can get studio funding, his ultimately goal, although he is content with keeping it independent, wanting to pitch it to studios in person.

[image id for the first image: a picture of a twitter post with the media zoomed in. the media shows a police arrest log from the burbank police, showing that Kyle Carrozza was arrested on june 20, 2024, for a count of posssessing child sexual exploitation material, and an a count of posssessing more than 600 images child sexual exploitation material, and 10 of the images are of a minor under 12 years old. the tweet is from Nico Colaleo, and reads, "OOF, a bunch of us in animation circles JUST heard right now. I've avoided hanging out with Kyle Carrozza for the 15 years I've known him, but just cause he gave me a weird vibe. But I didn't realize til about 2 minutes ago that he was doing THIS. He's been arrested for child porn." end of image id]
[image id for the second, third, and fourth images: a thread from @ adybpt reading, "Kyle Carrozza was just arrested. For many, many years we've been saying this moral crusade in fiction would inevitably be used as a front for an actual child molester to distract from their crimes/gain access to victims by painting themselves as a safe and moral person. And now we see a case we've been talking about for years and get repeatedly ignored, slandered, and talked over for (it to be) proven to be just that. Kyle Carrozza and his friend group, embedded deep in the animation industry, systematically framed a disabled sexual abuse survivor coping with their trauma through art (a therapist approved process) of being the very child predator Kyle himself has just been proven to be. Ang was blacklisted from the industry, and therefore being unable to afford healthcare for their illness, opted for end of life care. Throughout this, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE rallied against Ang and defended Kyle and his friend group, all while Kyle used this attention and good reputation in a way I expect is exactly how he wanted: to distract from his real abuse, and to enable it. More victims of his are now speaking out. Their voices are equally as important. And they were silenced. They were all silenced by this "anti" trend in fandom. These are all victims of abuse and of child sexual exploitation, they are not fictional characters, and their abuse was enabled because drawings were prioritized over them. I've fought for literal YEARS to raise awareness about what is literally a conspiracy against Ang by their abusers, for Ang's voice to be heard and justice given to them in the form of donations or help or even just believing them. Ang and everyone helping them have been targeted, harassed en masse, gaslit, and otherwise psychologically abused, all for trying to raise awareness about this. And justice could have been done earlier. Thank god it was done at all. Words cannot describe my fury and my despair. Ang's health is already irreparably damaged and their peace of mind shattered. They have been framed and slandered under a deliberate disinformation campaign meant to deflect from genuinely horrific abuse for years, and blamed for speaking up about it. They've gone through mocking, bigotry, and abuse EN MASSE, worse than any of you can possibly imagine, and they received no sympathy, only victim blaming. This is it. Fandom "antis" have no moral highground left to stand on. Your behavior, JUST AS WE HAVE WARNED REPEATEDLY, enabled real abuse and exploitation of children. All over fictional characters. Pixels over the lives of real kids. If this doesn't change the tide of slander against being "pro ship" or whatever term you wan to use of PRIORITIZING REAL SURVIVORS OVER FICTIONAL STORIES, I will despair even more. At this point, if you hold these beliefs about fiction, if you believe people's (real life) morals are reflected by their fictional tastes, are an "anti", you aren't anti ship, you're ANTI SURVIVOR. you're PRO ABUSE. And you have to live with that knowledge for the rest of your lives. end image id]
[image id for the fifth image: part of a thread from @ skyebatungbakal reading, " "well Ang's supporters are still assholes" asshole for being what? supporting a disabled person (because) a bunch of actual assholes made them lose their job? y'all are fucking evil if you're still trying to paint Ang as the bad person in this situation. fucking hypocrites! where were the same people celebrating Ang's situation? where was the same energy? why are they all radio silent now?" there are 4 images attached, 1 showing people celebrating Ang's death, 2 hoping they get blacklisted from the animation industry, and 1 spreading disinfo about the situation. end image id]
holy fuck, Kyle carrozza was arrested for possession of over 600 pieces of CSEM. What the fuck is happening.
