Real. But tbh, they're about the same level of responsibility as a cat or a dog in regards feeding, grooming, health, and shenanigans. They're arguably less work than a dog because you don't have to do any hands on training and they don't have to go outside. What's annoying is finding a vet & sitter

also the uncle grandpa ep made me laugh out loud hard

I hope so!! It's such an incredible project with wild degrees of potential. If it has the chance to make a full series, it will cement a legendary status for itself

it's a no brainer why we were so invested, looking back it's so obvious. it's genuinely unique and ground breaking on multiple levels!

The writing?? Is so profound?? And the character dynamics are SO messy but grounded in reality?? wow. I need a Rebecca Sugar exclusively y/a series

I started rewatching Steven Universe and oh my god it's so good. Like so shockingly good that I'm surprised it actually aired. What a special show... can't believe I get to exist at the same time as these shows

Same here. Most folks I know and have worked with are talking about going back to school or have already left the industry. It's rough

I know it's difficult to be creative when we're just trying to survive. But it does matter. Whether you make things professionally or as a hobby or even if you make something that you never show to anybody. It's good for the human soul to create.

I haven't posted new art in forever. I have plans to change that for this upcoming year. So for now, you gotta deal with me whinging.

Thank you, I hope so too, for both of us

I wish you and your comic nothing but the best!! A project like that can be such a beast to take on, so it's so good to hear that you're loving it and getting so much out of it! I can't wait to see it debut~

It's my bsky, I'll complain about the downfall of society all I want to, thank you very much

ty💕 I'd like to hope so

That's what eats me up right now. I know I'm not alone. I want more than anything for us all to have at least this career path be an option, but it's not right now. And I don't know if or when it will be. It sucks. All of it.

I'm glad you're making your webcomic, I hope it's going well!

To be more specific, it was never the company or a brand behind an IP that inspired me, but the people behind them. That is still the case and will always be, which is why it tears me apart when they're the ones who are consistently exploited and made to suffer.

a reminder for the millionth time: your peers, NOT corporations, are making the media you want !!!!!!!!!

When I little, I dreamed of working in animation, inspired by films like Sleeping Beauty and Bambi.
Ten years ago, I went to college and got to do just that.
Now it feels like the future I wanted isn't possible anymore, thanks in part by the very same companies that inspired me all those years ago..

They don't have money to pay their animators and other employees better but they got a casual $1,000,000,000 for the thieves who wanna steal from everyone, including their own creative departments.

Help us, we're poor, we're so poor, we can't possibly greenlight new projects or keep from laying off employees by the thousands :( :( oh wait nm, we just found $100 billion to try to buy Warner Bros :)

John 'F' Fountain responds "Made 'Fairly Oddparents' the second most popular cartoon of its era. Couple hundred bucks in DVD sales in Europe over the course of 20 years. Should we start some sort of club?" to a post from DiscussingFilm. The original post states "Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichell says she does not get any royalties from the Spider-Verse films, Insomniac games, or merch. "I don't get anything... that's the saddest part of my life""

I truly hope whatever comes next for the entertainment industry will address this injustice so that no other creator will be forced to accept this as their reality

white fur trim on the toilet should be a fineable offense

Canadian citizens and residents, there's a new official parliamentary petition raising the issue of electoral reform and proportional representation. Signing is a direct means of meaningful action toward improving our democracy, and it just takes a moment to do. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

so many cool, inventive and interesting animated projects none of you even knew were being made for the past few years just got shitcanned because of this netflix/wb merger

When you're like "geez there's no animation jobs" "geez there's like no new shows anymore", this is why

Paramount throws in more cash in bid for Warner; Comcast wants to combine assets with NBCUniversal Jockeying for HBO-owner Warner Bros. Discovery has intensified as the auction appears to enter its home stretch.

these are all terrible options, and if we lived in a functioning democracy with working regulators we'd think nothing of putting a blanket end to pointless media consolidation

these deals are always terrible for product quality, consumers, art and labor, but this is always downplayed in coverage.

Hey there, this is the account manager for Jucika, I hate to break silence but we need help to pay for an emergency kidney removal. We are currently uninsured and living in the US makes it difficult
