I Stand With Animation!

I stand with animation!

My fandoms and my fandom neighbors!

TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!

TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.

If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.

We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

I feel so bad for her…

I've read chapter 2 of @peanut-tyrug's Pink City AU, Hunt for the Boxman. Once I got to the climax of chapter 2, I've got super emotional seeing Elain experiencing the trauma she's gone through and having herself making a deal with Darly Boxman. I'm still thinking what would happen to her in the next chapter after her deal.

(Also, why did I sketch this in the form of something for Hot Topic merch?)

I love when lighting starts coming in and I can start posting out of context screenshots without any elaboration.

Happy Pride Month!

My Digital Circus OC: ❄️Skadi❄️

Skadi is a jolly reindeer who always helps out her friends. She is the opposite of Jax; she's sweet, kind, and she cares for her fellow performers. Her attire is winter/Christmas themed, which means she loves Christmas. Her age is the same as Jax and Zooble, yet she is a year in between them.

However, behind closed doors (obviously her door), Skadi's feelings are a bit… complicated. Before she entered the Digital Circus, she had a rough life. Her old friends in the real world cut all ties with her, causing her to fall into a pit of despair. On her first adventure in the circus, one of the performers (being Kaufmo) has been captured by a cartoonishly looking beast, causing Skadi to have a breakdown. Seeing this, Ragatha comforts Skadi, assuring her that Kaufmo would forgive her, making her feel better. Although, Skadi still remembers being turned down by her friends from the real world. Outside her room, Skadi puts on a jolly additude to make her fellow performers, even the ringmaster, Caine, feel alright. After every adventure, she stays in her room, regretting "what she did."

Skadi has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), meaning she can sometimes have a hard time with having a conversation. It also means she feels emotions, but might have a hard time understanding them. For example, when Skadi first met Pomni when she entered the Digital Circus, she has a hard time processing what Pomni is going through and how she would help her. The day after Pomni's arrival, after Candy Carrier Chaos, Skadi made a gift for Pomni (a paper tulip) and a card that helps her feel better. The other humans are aware of Skadi's autism, and they completely understand. Despite the flaws of her symptoms, Skadi can find a way to help her new friends in the Digital Circus, and make them feel better. She may not get it right sometimes, but she tries.

Pomni and Gangle are dynamically cute together. I hope they get screen time together in a future episode.

Sometimes it helps to just have someone with you and just feel your feelings!
