British producers be like: THEM: "We love this! Let us put our heads together and get back to you early next week!" SIX MONTHS LATER UNPAID INTERN FOR THAT COMPANY: "Everyone you spoke to has been sacked, we hate you fuck off."
American producers be like:
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU'VE EVER MET: Hey kiddo do you wanna meet The Rock? Do you wanna meet Margot Robbie? Do you want to fuck my wife? I can't give you a job but gosh darn it you've got moxxy, let me put you in touch with Doug Bigcheese, the biggest producer in Hollywood! DOUG BIGCHEESE, EMAILING YOU BACK WITHIN 20 MINUTES: Hey kiddo, that guy said you're awesome! Lemme ask round town and in the meantime you can live in my house borrow my car and by the way have you met my wife?!
#acting#writing#producers#Americans Vs Brits#Americans are just so nice#Nobody has any work right now but gosh dang it the yanks have the right attitude#I think a lot of it is a generational thing too#British boomers seriously think taking 2 weeks to respond to an email is acceptable and I don't know how to tell them that that's just#too slow?!#You're leaving money on the table!#Maybe this is me coming from social media world where everything is instant#But the Americans#They just get it#They tell it how it is#They don't blow smoke up your ass#If you're not right they'll tell you and they'll help you out of the pure goodness of their cheese and apple pie hearts

it's hell on earth to be heavenly them's the breaks, they don't come gently
#daniel ricciardo#dr3#went on a hike the sunday after the official announcement and listened to this song on repeat for probably 3 of the 8 miles#POV: me in the middle of the woods telling myself to get it together#while crying about a 35 year old millionaire before I end up passing someone on the trail and they call the police on me#so song is about how female stars are treated overtime and when they first arrive they're praised for being authentic and refreshin#but once the shine wears off and they're a little older and reveal imperfections or they struggle they become a target for ridicule#and then they're discarded for the next new thing in town and the cycle keeps repeating itself forever#which to me so closely mirrors daniel's trajectory in F1 in the eyes of the media#but also when you take the lyrics at face value they are just so daniel...#the f1 ecosystem and more specifically the redbull “family” are fake as hell#and yet daniel is one of their most genuine products who actually can't be easily reproduced (but by god they'll try)#he showed a great deal of promise despite coming from a place that really never should've produced a successful f1 driver#because the cards were stacked against him and nobody really thought he would make it#but he did and he gave us 13 brilliant years (and he has SO much more to give and do and succeed at and he will)#but the wheel of time keeps spinning and the cycle continues for the next shiny new toy that they can nurture and then destroy#anyway i'm not totally in love with these gifs but I need to be done w/them and I had to exorcise this demon that was making me sad

Scenario: Hobie and his bandmates pulling all-nighters to make songs
•Lyrics written on paper, napkins, and someone’s arm
•Everyone huddled around Hobie as he writes the final rough draft in a worn out journal (some touches may be added or removed in the future)
•a mock performance to see what they’re working with
•Cans of soda on the nearby table as they wait for a song name to appear in front of them. A homemade pizza fresh and ready to help keep them awake cause this song gonna get finished.
•Making sure the lyrics instilled a sense of hope and liberation for the people before they called it a night at 8:44 in the morning
#across the spiderverse#atsv#atsv hobie#hobie brown#Oh if I could spend a whole day with a musician#learning how to come up with wordplay and instrumentals would be such an experience#and best believe the product produced is worthwhile#headcanon#bruh now I’m in the mood to go to a concert

Subspace doodles (PHIGHTING! Mermaid au)
so I was thinking more about the PHIGHTING mermaid au I’m doing and. What if subspaces’ gas- instead of being like actual gas, was polluted oil? I think that could make for a really cool trope if I ever were to redesign him for it :3!
For the design notes in specific:
When out of control, his “gas” takes the form of polluted oil, in control (as in wearing his mask and tank) it gets filtered into something akin to toxic brine (in which long exposure to can cause a lot of issues, specifically different types of shock, breathing issues, etc). Although the brine isn’t too dangerous to be around in small amounts, it can be harmful over time.
for those wondering what ACTUAL brine water (or more specifically brine pools) are, it’s pretty much a large accumulation of highly concentrated saltwater (which usually is around 10 times saltier then the ocean surrounding it) For most sea animals this brine means instant death due to the fact that is has no oxygen in it as well as the high saline levels.
(Im hyper fixating again can you tell)
#AUUUUUGH#ME WJEN THE#ME WHEN THE OCEAN IS THE COOLEST THING EVER#Anyways yeah! My inner marine biologist is coming out again it seems!#I think this would would pretty well for squidspace#Unfiltered his gas is polluted oil and filtered its lower concentrations of brine#Subspaces filtered brine I feel like would be around a 2-4 on how salty it is compared to the rest of the water#I also imagine that the oil he produces can be collected- and is used to help power the biografts#His urchins are also INCREDIBLY unstable#And will explode if thrown/stepped on/and or are handled a bit too roughly#To subspace hes immune to their affects#But to others they can be really dangerous as oil can stick to fins/gills/or mouths#Anyways enjoy this small thing#i love the world building for this au so much#I’m so proud of myself for coming up with it#I can’t WAIT for mermay >:3#art#artists on tumblr#phighting fanart#phighting!#digital art#roblox phighting#phighting#phighting art#roblox#phighting roblox#phighting! roblox#phighting! art#phighting! subspace#subspace tripmine

The fact that Ruben doesn’t remember what happened is absolutely sending me.
Like, imagine your name is Ruben Hopclap. You wake up in front of a ruined school gym wearing clothes you don’t recognize and missing your favorite necklace. You don’t remember falling asleep. Your chest hurts.
Uncle Henry is there talking to principal Auegfort over scraps of a robot. For a moment he looks at you like you’re a ghost before wrapping you in a tight hug. He asks what you remember. You tell him you remember packing your bag to go to the mountains of chaos for your spring break quest. You don’t remember anything after that. He hugs you again.
Your party’s there too. Most of them at least. Along with another party that you recognize as the Bad Kids, the most infamous party in your grade, maybe in the whole school. You tamp down any jealousy you might feel about that when you see the way that Mary Ann Almost-but-not-quite smiles at their barbarian. Instead you go to where Oisin and Ivy are huddle together, speaking softly to each other.
You ask where Kipperlily is. They look uncomfortable. For a moment you think about asking after Buddy, but then you realize you don’t know who that is. They keep avoiding answering the question, so you walk away. You almost go to talk to Lucy, but you see how uncomfortable she looks, how she flinches away when you start to move towards her. You decide to leave her alone.
Eventually Henry takes you home. On the drive home he turns on the radio and you hear yourself singing a song you’ve never heard. It’s loud and chaotic and so so angry. The sound of it makes you want to throw up. You turn it off and ride in silence back to the house.
The walls of your bedroom have been painted a deep, bloody red. There’s an electric guitar that you don’t know how to play leaning against the wall. Your desk is covered in notes and plans, some of it written in codes you can’t decipher. That doesn’t really matter because you don’t understand the stuff that’s not in code either.
Your parents look almost scared of you when you ask where your normal clothes are. They tell you that you got rid of them. They keep apologizing, like they think you’ll get mad at them. You tell them it’s okay, but still search your closet for something a bit more your style. You find a box shoved into a corner, under some clothes. Inside is your puka shell necklace and your ukulele. The string on the necklace is broken like it had been ripped off. The body of the ukulele is cracked like it had been thrown to the ground. You decide to deal with that in the morning.
You fall asleep and you dream of a girl. She’s a tiefling with red and black raccoon streaks in her hair. She smiles at you with lips painted black. If you stare at her for too long you can see blood dripping out of those lips and a crossbow bolt lodged in her side. You look at her and feel longing, feel grief, feel betrayal. You want to stop dreaming of her, but some part of you knows that any other dream would be filled with blood and crystals and rage. You accept that you are doomed to Wanda.
#dimension 20#fantasy high#dimension 20 fhjy#ruben hopclap#rat grinders#meta#i just keep thinking about him#and I keep thinking about the rest of the party walking on eggshells around him#none of them want to let him know what happened over the last year#i Didn’t expect Ruben to be the rat grinder that I get emotional about#but here we are#god and people coming up to him flooding him for autographs and he’s got no clue what he’s so famous for#he’s dodging calls from Lola embers because he doesn’t know who that is but apparently he’s supposed to release an album#and she says they won’t produce any of the music he sends her that he sings softly and plays of his ukulele#because she says that that’s not who ‘Ruben hopclap’ is#and at this point he has no clue who Ruben hopclap is#poor guy

Have you ever thought of writing your own boon?
Ok, hear me out, but I find your writing style so much more "grabbing" than most modern books I read. I can't really put it into words, but the way the characters act, how they harmonize the way there are (hidden) emotions, little tiny details, foreshadowing, and also a bit of comedy, makes your writing feel so much more attention grabbing, intriguing, and alive. While recently re-reading Faking It, I stumbled upon how much your writing has improved over the years. Thumbs up for you that's impressive!!
(Don't ask me what exactly I mean by all of this, please. English isn't my first language, and I don't have my way with words the way you do. I just got the urge to write this since I had bad luck with the books I read recently, and they just appeared so dull to me. If you have good book recs please share a few. I'm desperate. (Literally, ANYTHING will do.)
ANYWAY
If you ever publish a book, I'm sure a lot of people would buy it.
Thank you for all your kind words!
I figure since I'm not going to stop writing anytime soon, at some point a book is inevitable! But it'd be quite a ways off, as I don't have a concept that really compels me at the moment. If I ever set out on the stormy seas of that particular project, I'll be sure to obnoxiously advertise it to you all.
#answers#I mean clearly I have the wherewithal to produce the necessary number of words#According to my stats on AO3 I've posted nearly 600 thousand there and that's not even counting all the tumblr only snippets#The key is going to be coming up with a plot that I really want to put out there in the world#Who knows! One day inspiration will strike and I'll be the chuckles I'm in danger meme#As for book recs: I've been really enjoying the Murderbot series lately!

Hey so uh I wanted to ask about that candy bar you gave me at the Halloween party last night, I ate it before bed (it tasted really good) but when I woke up I started to notice some things. My voice sounds kinda softer and higher pitched than before, my body feels tingly and kinda soft, my hair looks a lot longer and fuller than I remember it being, and every time I look in the mirror I think I look thinner than before...my clothes feel uncomfortable...people have been saying I look and sound cute and every time they compliment me I start blushing...n-not that I'm in any pain, don't worry, it's just...uh...w-where did you get that candy bar from again?
Awwww, well cutie the bars are ones I make by with plenty of love, specially for Halloween and a secret recipe I can’t just share with anyone
But since you seem to enjoy them so much let’s make a little deal!
I’ll let you Trick or Treat everyday! Just come here with a new fun outfit everyday and you’ll never run out of candy bars!
That said the bars work the best if you eat them everyday (and they can have quite some withdrawal symptoms) and I only have you the first bar because your costume was so so adorable and cute and feminine, and just so you know you’ve set the standard now cutie!
If you want more candy bars you better come back in an even cuter outfit, and also make sure to walk here in broad daylight where everyone can see! No cars allowed, most of the fun from Halloween is that anyone can see your costume, so you do need the show off phase
Got it cutie? Good Girl! Now take one more bar as a free-bee and I expect you here in much more appropriate clothing tomorrow, if you want another bar of course
#the secret to the bars is also Mega Estrogen#very addictive and extremely unreversable#after just a week the body starts naturally producing estrogen#that danger is why it was banned#but it makes some very very cute girls very very easily#so who cares about potential miss use?#through all my years of giving out these candy bars#every single cutie has eventually thanked me for it#(and also begged me for more#which is always so so cute)#.#i-like-talking#asks open!#forcefem#happy halloween cuties!!!#..#that’s the end of the Halloween saga!!!#thanks for all the trick or treaters and sorry to anyone I couldn’t get to!!!#there were still some very lovely asks in my inbox when I woke up today#know they still made me smile!!!#but you need to stop sometime! each trick or treater I answered led to 2 more coming to my door!#still I hope everyone enjoyed!#that you had a wonderful Halloween#hopefully dressingng up like your true girly selves#and that today wasn’t bad either!!!#have a nice day night cuties!#(probably one of my longest note-essays yet#if you read this know you’re a VERY good girl!)

i’ve put serious thought to this (for the last forty seconds) and the dynamic i want from a retired/no-o66/tatooine husbands codywan is, essentially, jeeves and wooster
but i want cody to be wooster
#trying out a moustache that kenobi despises#running from his aunts (vode) that keep trying to set him up with beings#kenobi keeps producing perfect toast#they don’t have a toaster#they don’t have BREAD#cody has a cupboard of terrible print shirts that he keeps boldly making Choices about buying#and kenobi keeps ~mistaking them for cleaning rags my dear anyone could do it#the jawas come by from time to time to watch this shit like a social experiment#tatooine husbands#codywan#star wars#the clone wars#commander cody#obi wan kenobi

obsessed with actor!patrick omg i need to know reader's reaction to their scandal going public. like patrick doesn't give a fuck about it since he's used to it by now but i feel like she'd be so disappointed because this is her first big movie and she kinda fucked it up already and she feels so stupid for falling for patrick's charm etc ... just like all the other girls before her. and it's even more fucked up because she probably really fell for him already and maybe he did too but won't admit it because patrick being patrick idk
i think you're humiliated and you feel weird, knowing that you've reached a level of fame where you're being watched and people would pay for gossip and photos regarding you and your relationships. it also makes you feel really objectified, for obvious reasons. but you chalk that up to being apart of hollywood.
i think in the moment, when you were with patrick it felt so real because maybe it was? or is patrick just that good of an actor? or can he just kiss you and touch you like that without any feeling attached? it's driving you crazy and you don't ask him about it. it feels inappropriate, and ironically, like you would be crossing a major boundary.
and late one night you look at patrick's scandals. there are a few big ones, regarding a leaked sex tape with an ex fling of his, an actress a few years older than him who cheated on her husband with patrick for years and years and years. you remember that scandal coming out. how it launched him further into fame because well, that's how it works for men.
you get scared of potential harassment. but you feel so stupid for falling for him. for thinking it was anything more than an ego boost, than to know that he can make any girl fucking ooze between his fingers like melted wax.
and patrick--it's not like he doesn't care about you, but he just doesn't have that romantic bone in his body. he's overtly sexual and this can translate into him being sweet and charming--but it isn't for the romantic end that you are searching for.
it's harder and harder to keep things strictly professional when you're in love with him. when the idea of him not loving you back makes it fester more and more.

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work
unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion
#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad#because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid#i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back#i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades#i might be able to snag a short nap before work#but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen#WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE#well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway#OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal.#anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently#emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it#and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry#so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever?#and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this??#also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m#so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point#anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari#after escaping her british nobility life#and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course.#and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known#and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates.#and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time#also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w#but at least he’s still obsessed with her#this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either.#ml#anna rambles#asks

❗️ The production company Studio WabiSabi announced that their actors Boun N., Prem W., Santa P., Sammy C., Yacht P. and Stamp P. have terminated their contracts and will no longer be artists under the company on April 15th. Shortly after, GMMTV announced the 6 of them as newly signed artists, along with the disclosure that BounPrem's upcoming BL Vampire Project is now being produced under GMMTV, who now also own all broadcasting rights; WabiSabi will function as a co-producer. New S. stated on Twitter that the decisions had been long in the making, as well as the fact that WabiSabi no longer functions as a management agency for actors and is now a mere production company.

Dis-like-Dysentery
I have a lot of very specific headcanons about Auradon Prep, and one of them is the fact that Jay is both a Smart Guy, and also chronically incapable of turning in assignments on time. For. Reasons.
this might be about one of those reasons.
+
Carlos looks up from his plate as Jay wanders over. “Dude, where were you? We started eating without you.”
“Talking to a teacher. I submitted an assignment wrong, or something.”
Carlos nods. He’s got a fork dangling from one hand, and there’s a leaf stuck in his hair. Sunlit from behind, Jay’s pretty sure that he’s the prettiest boy on this side of the barrier. “Oh, man. Was it Demorra? She’s super strict about the rules, especially for the online stuff. I could’ve helped you figure it out bro, you don’t have to get through her bureaucratic shit on your own.”
Jay sets his tray down on the opposite side of the table. “Nah. It was Williams.”
Carlos frowns. “The international lit teacher? Really?”
They’ve been reading through Jay’s lit assignments together. Auradon expects them to type up all of their homework, so he’s been getting by with the hacked dictation program on his laptop and locking himself in the bathroom to read his essays out loud into the program with the minimum of background noise.
There’s a peer writing tutor who does proofreading two nights a week for free, but Jay’s not gonna take his shitty essays in to her when he’s pretty sure he’ll just get laughed right back out of the student study room for the giant default font Carlos set on his computer.
It doesn’t exactly make reading his own assignments easier, but it doesn’t make it worse either, so they’re calling it functional for now. Auradon Prep is all about “helping students embrace their unique academic talents”, so Carlos and Evie are both being pulled for more advanced classes, which is great for them, and terrible for Jay’s essays because it’s seriously starting to cut into their free time.
That, and the trouble they’ve been getting up to after hours.
The assistant gym teacher still hasn’t figured out who to blame for French braiding all the climbing ropes together.
“She couldn’t read my handwriting.”
“Fuck.”
That’s about the shape of it. Handwritten assignments are few and far between, but Jay can’t bullshit his way through all of them. “Haha, yeah.”
Carlos thunks his head down onto the table. “Ugh. Fuck. I can make you a handwriting font on the computer, but that’ll make in-class assignments worse if you can’t keep it up.”
“Yup.”
He sits up. There’s a dent on his forehead from pressing it into the table. “Eat.”
“Not hungry,” Jay says as cheerfully as he can manage. It’s not gonna fool Carlos, but he’s not gonna show weakness in front of the royal rabble. “Anyway, we’re not going to the honor board. She’s willing to settle it with some sorta evaluation. Have you heard of dyslexia before?”
Carlos blinks. “Dyslexia? No. I mean. It’s gotta be dis from like, disinterested, disintegrating, some sort of anti? Or else it’s dys from like, dysentery. Some sort of illness, maybe. Lex has gotta be from lexicon, lexicography. Something to do with either anti-words or a words illness? Does she think you’re sick of words?”
Jay shrugs. “She said it’s why I’m bad at reading. Wants me to do an assessment so she can know what’s going on.”
Carlos already has his phone out. He’s typing with one hand, the other one curled around his plate in a defensive hunch that’s almost casual. “Huh. How’s that going for her so far?”
Jay snorts. “Fab. Nah, she didn’t do it yet. It’s a whole special test that she’s gotta send me down to the psych for.”
“Can you reject it?”
“If I wanna meet with the honor board and explain why I apparently have great handwriting, but only when they can’t see me do the assignments.”
“Fuck.”
“Yeah. At least she was cool about it.”
Carlos groans. “Your handwriting sucks, dude. You’re not sick of writing, you’re just— your handwriting sucks.”
“Yeah, and my fucking reading comprehension. I—“ Jay cuts himself off abruptly as the shadow of more people falls across their lunch table. “Hey, guys.”
Mal sets her lunch tray down on Jay’s left side, leaving Ben the spot on his right. Evie’s not eating with them today. They have other friends in theory, but between Doug’s science club buddies and Carlos’s general disinterest in socializing with other humans, they didn’t bother picking a table large enough for anyone else.
“Sorry,” Ben apologizes, even as he’s nudging his shoulder against Jay’s. It’s nice not being the only tall one sometimes. “I couldn’t help overhearing.”
Jay leans back into the contact. “We were talking out loud, dude. It happens. You got any hot tips for the stupid assessment I’ve gotta do later?”
“Have you tried being better?” Mal suggests. “I find that cheating works great. I could find you a spell to let one of us borrow your hands for a few hours, and so long as you can tell us what you want to write, we can control the muscles and get better handwriting than your usual chicken scratch special.”
“Hey.”
“Would that work if you can’t see the paper?” Ben asks curiously.
Mal frowns. “No. Not unless I modify the spell to possess your eyes too.”
Jay represses a shudder. “Thanks, but no thanks, M. I like my eyes in one piece.”
Carlos is scrolling rapidly on his phone, hanging half-over the table in an attempt to get closer to the three of them. “Dude, dyslexia is a brain thing that affects how you process visual input of words— aw, shit.”
Bad. That’s the bad-news tone. Jay’s heart drops traitorously into his stomach, which suddenly isn’t feeling the tater tots on his lunch tray. “What?”
Carlos shakes his head. “Nothing too bad. Just, I think Williams is right. You’ve said you’re shit at reading fast cause the words all look the same, right? Like, you can’t scan to identify them, you’ve gotta sound each one out.”
Jay smashes a tater tot with the side of his fork. The destruction doesn’t make his gut feel any better. It’s not that he’s mad, it’s just— he doesn’t want to do this. Analyzing his brain sucks. He did the whole week of required therapy that the student disciplinary council required after the stuff with Mal’s mom, and he’s so fucking done with Auradon grown-ups pretending to understand why his head’s fucked up. “Yeah, so?”
Carlos waves the phone at him. “So that’s what this is. You’ve got a brain disorder.”
“We can fix it, right?”
He wiggles a hand back and forth. “Ehh. Kinda. There’s techniques to make it easier, but it’s sorta like— your brain is wired for AC power input, and words are DC. It’s a misalignment. We can make an adaptor, but we can’t rip out your brain wiring.”
“I could,” Mal offers. “I love doing illegal magic.”
#my fic#in my heart Jay is both dyslexic and INCREDIBLY good at processing auditory instructions#to the point that nobody at AP notices the dyslexia for like. Six months.#until eventually someone questions why his in-class handwriting is TERRIBLE#but his assignments produced out of class are legible#(the reason is a combination of dictation software and Carlos acting as a scribe)#the scribe setup is actually good for both of them#Jay gets to have somebody else handwriting his assignments#and Carlos gets enrichment by mentally doing the homework for two sets of classes#he DOES refuse to solve the problems on Jay’s homework#he’s transcribing the answers. Not doing the homework.#the ethical lines these kids come up with might be more like zigzags but at least they’re consistent

updated my civil war relationship chart just a bit, added some related altmer, did a few tweaks
and made this for fun. i was cooking this up for a while in my head. my skyrim character rapper lore. neloff, teldryn and ildari are prominent figures
#text#i actually think neloth is big east coast and/or southern rap fan but if he did make or produce songs he'd work with west coast type stuff#i'm using those terms loosely cus obviously they don't have that in skyrim world but it's just to pinpoint the styles lol :)#and i didn't write it down but neloth probably writes most of teldryn's lyrics he's a good lyricist as well#'ill-dari' is actually one of the smartest things ever to come out of my brain and i come up with a lot of smart things.#i'm so proud of that one for no reason

What would you say was the first sign that Miraculous was gonna became a bad show?
3D in the current style that it is. And no. I'm not talking about the anime. I'm talking about how it started to sacrifice style and substance for recognizability and cheap graphics. There are very strict guidelines on the style of the show and exaggerated expressions and genuinely good animation have been trashed or cut in order to not have to pay the most money. How do I know? I've seen it. I have seen things that I can never share but I know about. Shit that sits in a locked folder on a USB drive.
I've been very fortunate to speak to people behind the scenes and get some insight on development. I've poured over reports and surveys. I've read interviews. I've seen statistics.
There is a lot of company input that goes into miraculous. And you know how it is when CEOs and directors boards get involved with creative projects. You would be surprised at the amount of influence companies like Gloob have over the development of the show.
Miraculous wants to be a serious show. But it also wants to be a kiddie show- and miraculous wants to be a kids show because kids programming sells toys and toys are what have kept miraculous afloat for as long as it has.
#I'm going to be real with everybody right now. From what I've read. From what I know. And who I've spoken to?#Miraculous has no plan. Everything? They've done off the fucking seat of their pants.#They'd probably sit in a meeting room like a week before they need to start producing the show and come up with the story on the spot.#There's no greater plan and there's no grand vision.#They don't care about you. They want your money. And guess what? They are getting it.#The Creator is an asshole#The show sends bad messages#It is poorly animated and poorly written#And there is so much underlying racism and sexism and oh my God don't be blind to this#You are allowed to like bad media. And if you are a fan then fine. But you really need to be critical of the media you consume.
