book fans can go off all they want and state how CaSsAnDrA cLaRe HaS sO mUcH rEpReSeNtAtIoN but let me yell it in case anyone missed it:
IT DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER IF YOU ADD LGBTQ+, POC, DISABILITIES, ADOPTION, DRUG ADDICTION, CHRONIC ILLNESSES- IF YOU DONT WRITE THEM HOW THEY DESERVED TO BE WRITTEN THEN THERE IS NO REPRESENTATION. THERE IS NO REPRESENTATION SO LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE
please we are tired of seeing ourselves being misrepresented and we hate seeing the characters we do like getting treated wrongly. we can tell you donât like those characters or the storylines. I can tell when there isnât effort. itâs very bloody obvious.
Iâm so fucking tired of seeing âomg CC has done so much representation and has changed her ways.â what has she changed? because sheâs still doing the same shit she always does. finds an excuse to use incest, putting the lgbtq+ characters on the back burner, giving POC characters the short end of the stick and the shittiness, stereotyping the fuck out of disabilities. Iâm not sorry but I donât see any progress or any improvement. sheâs still dragging out plot lines and putting her fav white toxic irritating boys front and center. as far as I can tell, not much has changed
Iâm tired of seeing posts that arenât with the anti tag because some of these fans are insanely terrifying. going to the ends of the earth to âproveâ CC is a god who canât do wrong and defending every little problematic storyline
#anti cassandra clare#anti cc#just my stupid opinions#anti jace herondale#show me the improvement#itâs actually scary how defensive they get#like how is she having all these devoted fans defending her actions#I remember when I read about her bullying her own fans and the Harry Potter ones#like sheâs actually fucking insane

something about s1-3 zane is just. oh this guy is so silly and friend-shaped. look at his friendly boy swag. like????? how could you ever hate him. the ultimate silly
not to hate on his titanium era because frankly it is very cool. but the essence of s1-3 zane is unique and uncapturable. he is just a little guy you can put in your pocket. his default facial expression is so inherently funny. there are no thoughts behind these eyes. i would trust him with my life.

hi!!!! there been news articles saying that the working conditions of spiderverse were rlly rlly bad to the point of 100 ppl quitting or sometingâŚ. sorry to be liek an annoying reporter and b kinda invasive but is this tru D:
the big article that came out, for anyone curious: https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/spider-verse-animation-four-artists-on-making-the-sequel.html
there are some aspects about the article that i don't feel comfortable commenting on, but yes a lot of animators did quit. a lot of it had to do with the issues mentioned in the article, but a lot also left because disney opened a studio in vancouver (where sony imageworks is located) and had to hire an entire crew. i don't blame people for leaving spiderverse to get in on being a part of establishing the disney vancouver studio
i will also say that some of the information going around is incorrect; we did not work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a year. working 7 days a week is illegal, and though some people worked sundays, they were clearly told that they could not work the next saturday if they worked a sunday. we encouraged people to not work ghost hours, and OT was always optional (except for saturday work towards the end, but nobody was punished or anything if they couldn't work a saturday). we also get paid for OT. i was on the movie for over a year but we certainly weren't crunching that whole time. like the article said, we were idle for a long time
it was undeniably a hard movie to work on and with such a large crew, everyone had a wide variety of experiences. the anonymous animators in the article aren't wrong, but i will say that there are people that felt differently, or not as strongly as them. it's a complicated issue that doesn't have a simple solution
i just hope this doesn't tarnish your view of the movie. we worked hard on it and everyone's immense celebration of the animation is making all that hard work very worth it!
#asks#anonymous#also mr sony let me take a huge ass vacation without making me feel guilty at all about it#and i keep my benefits while i'm away#so#yes working conditions can always be improved but we did the best we could with the cards we were dealt#i was also encouraged at several points during production by my boss and producer to take time off when i was showing signs of burn out#good beans#spiderverse

What's K.O. CRISIS?
Hey all. Over the past couple months, I've gotten a lot of followers who probably don't know about my OCs and portfolio projects that I'm also working on, so I'm making a quick master-post for it!
K.O. CRISIS is a series of artworkââcharacter designs, illustrations, sketches, and animationsââinspired by late-90s/early-2000s anime and Y2K culture.
Set in an alternate-history Los Angeles in the year 2001, the story follows disabled Taiwanese-American Ashley Tang as she fights her way to the top of the bracket in the national augmented boxing championship.
As the youngest female fighter in the championship, she'll have to fight tooth-and-nail to defend her place amongst the heavy-weights. While her rare dual arm prosthetics help even the playing fields, it'll take more than brute strength to prove her worth.
But this isn't a story about an underdog triumphing against all odds. Throughout the story, Ashley will push herself to the limit for the sake of validating her existence under the grinding heel of the sports media machine, in a world that values disabled bodies more than their lives. As the championship rages on, one question seems to linger through the roar: Is Ash strong enough to win, or is she brave enough to quit?
Through the project, I'm hoping to explore representations of prosthetic-users in pop culture as "enhanced superheroes," as well as discussions of trans-humanism under medical capitalism, the fetishization of new technology, and the commodification of disabled people as entertainment.
Accompanying her journey include characters like Noora Balakrishnan, a local transfem prosthetics engineer who doubles as Ashley's ringside mechanical cutwoman.
The project is still in its early stages, especially since I sorta rebooted it earlier this year (meaning I'm no longer using past, outdated art for the project). If you enjoy it, you can find more artwork for the project under the #ko crisis tag!
#long post#not art#ramblings#ko crisis#i'm not physically disabled myself so i implore anyone who is to share their thoughts and feedback if they feel so inclined.#if you feel that i show know something/if anything in this project makes you uncomfortable my dms are open#it's funny how half my followers are following me for historical 1920s cottage core art#when my main thing is sci-fi cyberpunk shit#also fun how this project's a live timeline of my art improvement#i was about to use noora's portrait when i went âwait... why are her shoulders so small. thats not rightâ#thats improvement babey

Universal Misunderstandings
Summary: Based on @keferon's Mech Pilot Jazz AU. Jazz is a Mech Pilot who gets lost in space.
I wrote this in like... an hour, so I'm sorry if it isn't very good. I just needed to get it out, even if it's a little clunky. (Also I don't write Jazz and Prowl often, so they might be a bit ooc)
If you had asked Jazz what was the craziest thing he ever saw, he would say the moment the giant ships entered earthâs atmosphere for the first alien invasion. Or maybe when he joined the mecha program to fight those aliens, and saw the mecha suits they would be piloting for the first time.
He wasnât sure if meeting a race of giant robots was any crazier than that, but it was at least top three now.
Being a mecha pilot was surprisingly routine in some ways, similar to the times he was a NASCAR driver in some strange ways. How he would check his machine before every mission, how he piloted it like it was an extension of him, and how painfully aware he was of the danger all around him.
Only now, instead of being at risk of crashing into another driver or spinning off the track, he was at risk of being killed by giant aliens with five faces and so many tentacles.
No one was even sure why the aliens attacked in the first place, only that they desired some sort of potent energy source that was only discovered after they drove the aliens from one of their mines on Earth - and what was found in them revolutionized their technology forever.
They called them Lightning Crystals, based on the blue glow and the little shocks they delivered. The crystals were rare, but extremely potent in energy unparalleled by anything on earth.
Exactly what they needed. Oh, sure for solving global warming and creating efficient technology of course. But they also were the missing element in the new M.E.C.H. program â giant robots which could be controlled by a single person, able to pack as much punch as the aliens. With the Lightning Crystals, they could power these giant machines and finally drive them from their planet.
Jazz was one of the top pilots, though his Mech Suit was focused on rescuing people from peril and buying time as they evacuated a city that would be attacked. It was almost once a month, or several times if they were unlucky â the aliens would land, attempt to get a foothold on their planet, but were driven off by the Mecha. Only to appear again the next time.
And so, the routine was set. Go out, punch some aliens, retreat and recover, and start all over again later. It wasnât glamourous, but Jazz knew he was doing his part in protecting the planet.
That changed when the Space Program was initialized.
The director of MECH realized they needed some sort of foothold in space, to fight back before they landed on the planet and destroy the ships they had just out of striking range out in the void.
Jazz was selected as one of the first, as his smaller robot would be more ideal for space travel â or so they told him, he wasnât totally sure if that was bullshit or not anymore.
And so, Jazz found himself being launched into space to fight Aliens. He wasnât sure when exactly his life turned into an anime, but it definitely felt like one.
During the fight though, something went wrong.
Jazz had been thrown into one of their ships, there was frantic beeping and flashing, and suddenly he felt his whole body feel every sensation at once â and when he got his bearings and noticed the ship was in motion again, he realized, with a sinking terror, that he couldnât see earth in any direction around him.
His worst fears were only confirmed when he was thrown off the small space shuttle, and couldnât contact ground support after he crashed onto an unknown planet.
He had to take a few hours to himself, and screamed inside his mech suitâs protective armour. Jazz didnât know when he passed out from crying, but he felt somewhat refreshed. Not any better, but⌠not exhausted.
All things considered⌠he would be alright for a little while. He found more lightning crystals on the planet, and had some rations he could stretch out for awhile. But he wasnât sure what to do, without any idea where he was or how to contact home.
He set up his homing beacon, and just hoped again all odds that maybe it would be picked up by someone.
-
Prowl wasnât a very social cybertronian, everyone knew that about him. He wasnât anti-social, but he didnât have an easy time communicating with others.
He would be too blunt, or maybe just not react the right way, and suddenly they were upset for reasons he didnât immediately recognize. He got better at learning what was and wasnât acceptable in the broad terms, but he struggled with specifics sometimes.
But Prowl was also brilliant â that wasnât ego, it was repeated often enough that even he had to accept it. The Tac-Net within his processor was faster than any standard internal strategy computer, but that was only a tool. His processor was able to churn through all the data it gave him, and utilize it to its fullest extent with his own creativity and intelligence.
It made him one of the vital assets to the Autobots, and later to the combined cybertronian armies which fought the Quintessons â a walking battle computer, able to analyze a battle field and begin a counter strategy before the opponent even realized it.
So, his communication issue was merely a minor inconvenience in comparison.
Even still, he didnât have many friends, and he was used to his own company. Prowl didnât think on it often, just focusing on his task.
Prowl was alone while crossing a large stretch of uninhabited space, a spiral galaxy system which consisted of planets either barren or void of sentient life, when he received the ping on his console.
Unknown Energy Signature, Distress Beacon Detected. Prowl frowned as he read across his screen, because it didnât make sense at first. He pulled the ship around for a second look before he lost the signal, and saw it was located on a nearby planet.
His Tac Net spat back possibilities when probed, ranging from âQuintesson Trapâ to âNew Emerging Sentient Lifeâ, and he deemed the risk low enough to check at least.
Prowl wasnât a social mech, but he wasnât as heartless as some soldiers said he was.
-
Jazz didnât notice the ship until it was almost right above him, but he was still in his Mech Suit luckily enough. Using the larger bulk of this robotic body, he tried to wave the ship down using his long arms with a burst of frantic energy.
The Mech robot was psychically linked to himself, and so it was easy enough to arrange the machineâs body to look like a crazy person looking to hitchhike on the highway. He didnât care though, only happy that someone, anyone, had found him.
It definitely wasnât human, there were basically no ships of this design and even if there were none had launched yet. Another alien race didnât seem too far off either, whoever they were. But really, they could be made of goo and Jazz would probably hug them in thanks.
He only really started to realize that this might be a bad thing when the ship landed, because that thing had some pretty big guns. Or maybe those weird energy blasters he saw before, and this was one of the aliens trying to colonize his planet.
Still though, he swallowed his fears and put on a brave face â even if no one else saw. He strutted up to the large ship like he owned it, and⌠waited.
The ship door opened soon enough, lowering down into a ramp, and out stepped⌠another robot?
Jazz blinked, suddenly very aware of his body inside of the mech suit, when he saw it⌠or them?
He didnât know what to think, seeing the human-like face and odd proportions of their body. Was this another mech suit of some sort? Why did it have wheels?
Jazz had to snap out of it, because the robot started talking to him.
âDobbqfkdp,â they said with a stoic demeanour, âxj F ql xpprjb vlr ibcq qeb afpqobpp pfdkxi? F txpkâq xtxob qebob txp olylqfz ifcb qefp cxo lrq fkql qeb dxixuv.â
Unfortunately, Jazz didnât understand a word of it. The robot was holding the blaster on their hip, obviously ready to attack if Jazz proved hostile.
Hesitantly, he turned on his communications radio and spoke.
âUmm, sorry my guy, but I donât know what youâre saying? Iâm a bit new around here is all,â he said with a somewhat nervous laugh. He almost wished his own mech had a face, so he could express how he wasnât hostile.
There was silence for a moment, the wind blowing by around them and picking up a barrage of maroon plantlife that looked like flowerpetals. It was serene to see, but Jazz kept his focus on the robot whose eyes were widening in surprise.
They then cleared their throat, deliberately taking their hand off the gun and offered something. Jazz stepped forwards hesitantly, seeing it was a small chip.
The robot gave a forced smile, obviously trying to not appear threatening but looking awkward instead. âJv xmlildfbp. Bah-weep-Graaaghnah, weep ni ni bong.â
Somehow, against what was rational, the phrase they said made Jazz relax a little. It was a ridiculous nonsense in English, but somehow it made the offer seem less unknown.
Hesitantly, Jazz accepted the chip and plugged it into his mech. His eyes nearly bugged out when it started interfacing with his systems, almost pulling it out, before seeing what it was doing â it was scanning the coding and language of his mechâs sytems, pulling them out into a strange dictionary. Soon, it was done with a PING, and the chip ejected itself.
Holy shit, he thought, they have a fucking universal translator, like Star Trek!
The robotâs hand was extended again, obviously asking for the chip, and Jazz gingerly placed it back in the robotâs open palm â somehow having five fingers, which somehow was one of the first things Jazz noticed right now.
He was really overwhelmed, okay?!
The robot inserted the chip into the back of their head, and Jazz had a sinking realization.
Maybe he was jumping the gun, but the way the robotâs eyes went dim briefly as it processed the chip, made Jazz think is this an actual sentient robot?!
âThank you, I suppose this must be very confusing for you,â the robot then said, in perfect English.
âUgh⌠kind of?â He said, shrugging slightly which translated to his robot around him. It was a reflex hard to break, even if it was unnecessary for his mech to emote.
âWeâve known about aliens, but this is the first time Iâm meeting one that doesnât want to kill me,â he said, with a slight laugh at himself. âSorry, this is really weird.â
âWell,â the mech said, giving a soft smile which looked much more genuine, âIâm sure my kind will be eager to welcome another robotic race to the galaxy.â
Jazzâs mind went blank, as he had two sudden realizations.
Holy shit, I was right, this is an actual sentient robot who is actually talking to me, quickly followed by, they think Iâm also a robot.
This⌠might be messy.
Despite this, Jazz just gave a nod, âWell, Iâm sure the feeling is mutual!â He said awkwardly.
âNow⌠can you help me off this planet?â
The robot gave a brisk nod. âOf course, itâs not uncommon for new space faring species to have transwarping incidents like these. Come with me, my people will help you get home.â
Without any better options, Jazz hopped onto the ship. As he went inside, he realized the whole thing was scaled to the giant robot he was with. Scaled to his mech as well, conveniently enough.
âSo, could I get your name?â Jazz said, as he finally was getting ahold of his anxiety. At least he wasnât dead, and he was going home, so suddenly this was feeling a lot less intimidating.
âOf course, Iâm Prowl of Praxus. You?â
âUmmm, Jazz. Jazz Wilson,â he said.
âVery well, itâs nice to meet you Jazz Jazz Wilson,â Prowl said, and somehow that phrase, which wasnât nearly the craziest part of this situation, got a bark of laughter from Jazz.
âJust Jazz is fine. Itâs nice to meet you too Prowl.â
He got a nod of acknowledgement, as the ship flared to life and prepared for takeoff.
Jazz might need to sleep for a decade when he gets home.
(Translation for Prowl Earlier: Greetings, am I to assume you left the distress signal? I wasnât aware there was robotic life this far out into the galaxy.)
I also won't apologize for using the transformers universal greeting :P, I love that thing. Canonically, it's a phrase so ridiculous that anyone who says it must mean no harm - which is why Jazz somewhat relaxes when he hears it despite not knowing what it means.
I hope you liked this short little story (â§ââŚ)ďž it's more just exploring the concept than anything.
Also sorry for using the term mech or mecha wrong, I don't watch enough anime ( ´シシ)ďž(._.`)

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so itâd be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.
Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isnât enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leoâs skills in subterfuge would be deadly.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#me back to talking about Leoâs incredibly high affinity for subterfuge#genuinely think itâs one of if not his best and most honed skill#AND ITâS A VITAL NINJA SKILL#above fighting battle tactics and the like#itâs verbal blindspots#Sun Tzuâs The Art of War literally states that âthe greatest victory is won without battleââ#and idk I think Leo would be so good at this and we see him do it in the show quite a bit but not to the amount I yearn for#but yeah like just think Leo getting sent in and his bros standing guard#of course he wouldnât be the ONLY one involved but 100% heâd be the main player#man idk I just really really love when their specific skill sets that ARENT the fighting ones are used itâs so interesting to me#like we already know Leo can easily take in a whole roomâs worth of people and know exactly how to avoid them all#we know he can manipulate manipulators into his schemes#we know heâs good at improv which is essential to the games of speech high end criminals like to play#it would be SO INTERESTING#OKAY HEAR ME OUT-#heâs asked by Big Mama to join her at a criminal ball of sorts#she needs to regain power and he needs to take down big name criminals#thus a deal#no but really itâs so cool seeing Leo specifically do his best tactics through thinking like his enemy and predicting how theyâd act
