As negotiations between the AMPTP and T.A.G. (@animationguild) continue forward... we STILL need to continue supporting all the talented artists and animators who help bring "Craig of the Creek", "Jessica's Big Little World" and DOZENS of other animated films and series' to life, as they're fighting for better payments, better work schedules, and better protection against A.I.

We encourage ALL OF YOU to spread the word across the internet by sharing this post to everyone you know, or making your own posts using #stand with animation and help keep the Animation Industry from becoming a A.I. generated nightmare.

I made the union yaoi guys furries

[oatmealspet]

The animation union rally was a huge success and it’s so inspiring to see so many show up and prove to so many that our craft is worth fighting for!

The Animation Guild is starting negotiations next week, please cheer us on so we can get some fucking fair treatment and hopefully promote better work environments for all!

If unions get what they need in their contracts for better treatment and work environments, it does and will have positive effects even beyond the unionized spaces!

We don’t work our ass off only to be thrown away for some cheap ai regurgitated trash; we love what we do and love telling stories in animation. We just want to be treated with the respect we deserve and be able to do what we love and still afford to pay for rent and basic necessities :’)

The union, which bargains on behalf of more than 5,000 animation workers, has already disclosed that regulating generative AI is one of its top priorities for its 2024 negotiations. Also on the docket are addressing major layoffs that have swept the industry in the last few years (the union estimates that about one-third of its working members have been laid off in the last year alone) and outsourcing of work to foreign countries. During the rally, union business representative Steve Kaplan stated that improvements to wages and benefits will also be on the table. Talks are set to begin at the Sherman Oaks offices of the AMPTP on Monday and last through Friday, which is the final day of the union’s current contract extension.

Which Merger was more catastrophic?

The Merger of Humanity (JJK) or The HBO/Discovery Merger

Have fun trying to make money off of movies and shows whn no one wants to make them for you, fuckers.

Artists and writers working for these big fish should all set up an easy way to get donations, so that people could happily pirate the movies, shows and games off of the "owners" and willingly pay the people who actually did the work. I'd happily pay for a game knowing the money would go to the creators, not the big corp.

The MANY Bloodlines of Constantine

Those Constantine is Danny's dad and sold his kid soul because he thought he'd actually never have one and Danny is now the Ghost King so his soul claims are invalid AUs but learns he's not Constantine only kid (after a while Constantine honestly 100% thought he'd never have kids and never bothered with a 1st born clause when making deals, maybe some annoyed deity or powerful magic user made Constantine think he can't have kids anymore just to get back at the conman) and now doing everything in his Kingly power to save his half-siblings (can be other teens from other shows or movies or cartoons etc etc) because Danny is the oldest of them and really really wants to punch his biodad for making such a huge mess he has to deal with but Danny does get to meet and protect his younger Half-siblings.

Then comes the day he's celebrating one of his half-sibs birthday with all the others when he's suddenly summoned out of the blue and meets not just the Justice League but his, and his half-sibs, no good soul selling biodad.

Hello rightly placed aggression.... Once he takes care of that powerful evil spirit that's attacking earth first of course.
