Some jackass went on Twitter and leaked the entire thing.
And all I can honestly say to this is
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
Why the fuck would you do this?
It was always going to be hard to keep spoilers from non-movie goers, we all knew that.
But this?
Do you assholes understand that this was going to be another major step for Indie animations? Getting the finale for an indie animated series into cinemas around the world, and Glitch worked damn gard to get it into as many cinemas and countries as they could.
And now, all of that hard work, that step forward, that fucking accomplishment, has been tainted by some random asshole with a complex!
Already, we need to dodge spoilers from people who watched the leak and couldn't care less about whether those around them want to see them or not.
People who can't be bothered to put warnings or "Spoiler" before a video/picture/post.
And this guy - I heard he's called Kevin, but I honestly don't know, I'm not going to go looking either - just did this. And why?
He can't even defend it.
It's not like the Avatar Movie, where people worried they weren't going to get it (which was stupid as fuck and after all these years we finally got new content and some asshole ruined it).
It's not like the Hazbin Hotel S2 leaks where you could argue that it was "going to be behind a pay wall and inaccessible" for people without the money for a subscription. (And that's also bullshit, there are enough of grey sides you can use to watch these things as they are being released, on the same schedule even.)
Do you understand that you would have gotten the whole episode for free anyway?!!!!
Tadc is Still on YouTube!
Episode 9 was still coming to YouTube!
Yes, it was going to be a few more weeks and yes that sucked but the episode was not going to disappear after the theatrical release.
You didn't help anyone.
You didn't provide a grey side for people to pirate it after the official release.
You just ruined a wonderful experience for a lot of people, not because you had a reason, but because you're an asshole!!!
That's all you are and all you will ever be!
An asshole who likes ruining things for people because they can and nothing else. An entitled piece of shit who can't be patient enough to wait for a week for a theatrical release.
This didn't help Glitch, nor Gooseworxs (the opposite even and her crashout was and is completely valid), nor any of the creators and storyboard writers and artists, nor the voice actors, nor the fandom.
This was just fucking stupid and you can fuck right off with that!
I'm still going to see it in theaters because today is the 24th of May and the release is on June 4 and I can in fact wait that long.
I'd have waited for the YouTube release as well if I hadn't gotten a ticket.
As for the leak man: fuck off and out of fandom spaces! You can sincerely go fuck yourself!
I don’t think we ever heard a genuine laugh from Caine before, it’s always like- exaggerated or for show. (Not complaining, I find it endearing and funny)
That’s what made me think of this idea. It makes sense for this particular Caine to take on more human attributes. :)
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
Saw Tadc The Final Act in Theatres, and it's so good?!
No Spoilers here!
I know there was a lot of discourse - about the leak, about the voice actors, about Gooseworx - and I barely followed any of that, but i read and heard from a lot of people that it tainted the thought of the finale for them.
Well, I watched it, and I personally think it was worth it, even dodging all the leakes and whatnot, to see it on the big screen! It was definitely an incredible experience, especially since it included a rewatch of Episode 8, so we got Caine's glorious crashout in full HD and everything!
I love the animation, the characters, the story we get to witness finding an end.
A few things surprised me, others did so less.
All in all, I think it's a good ending, and I can't wait until it's on YT and we can all - kindly and without bashing anyone - discuss it!
So, to everyone who has to wait until the 19th, hang in there! I think it's worth it to experience it unspoiled!
To my fellow "in theatres" watchers, don't spoil it for everybody else!

HI I see u in my notes and if u wanted any of my Actual fic that isn't bullet points. I have an ao3 and also my art acct is @fisshontoast if u wanted to see sep heap fanart 👀
Hi,
Just found your message! I'll definitely be looking at your works, the bullet points were already great!
Now that I've noticed I can't un-notice that every clone wars episode is Dave Filoni try to keep the most competent characters (Mace Windu, Commander Fox, Yoda, Commander Cody, Plo koon) as far away as he can from both each other and the plot so that they don't just solve it themselves
The Funniest Possible Star War: an AU where the Kaminoans get wise just a LITTLE earlier.
Like. Instead of waiting until the inhibitor chips are activated and the Empire is already ascendant to realize that the Galactic Empire absolutely will not allow there to be a planet that mass-produces clone armies for the highest bidder, they have this realization BEFORE Order 66 goes out.
AU where the Kaminoan government looks at their position, looks at the likely fallout, and weighs their futures under a Galactic Empire to whom they are a threat that has outlived its usefulness VS a grateful but still slow-moving Republic, with all its factions and legalities intact, its social mores primarily unchanged….its army filled with thinking, feeling men to whom Kamino is their homeworld and who are in control of their free will and thus capable of refusing orders that strike at their own hearts…its main enemy in the form of the Separatist Alliance neutralized but not utterly annihilated, ripe for both sides being played against the middle…
And quietly, about six weeks before Knightfall, without telling anyone, just…..deactivates the chips. Sends out a pulse via comm channel designed to fry or alter them. Remote killswitch. Something like that.
So Palpatine like. He’s WON. He’s TRIUMPHANT. He kills the Jedi strike team, gets Anakin to kill Mace Windu, names his new apprentice Vader, has him swear allegiance, sends him to wipe out the Jedi, goes all “COMMANDER CODEEEE”
“exEcUtE oRDeR SIxtY sIx”
and
nothing
happens.
Cody politely asks for clarification because that’s not a term in the GAR manual, sir, apologies. Long pause. Cody equally politely apologizes and explains that he’s in a pitched battle, sir, but I’m sure the General will contact you when we’ve taken the planet.
[Palpatine voice] “Hwat.”
He hits the next button on his carefully-curated Order 66 contact booklet for the high-priority targets he wants taken out before the general transmission so they don’t get any warning. He sits impatiently through the tinkly elevator music.
“COMMANDER REX EXECUTE ORDER 66″
Rex blinks, explains he’s not familiar with that code, sir, but Rex is a little less polite than Cody due to long-term exposure to Anakin Skywalker, and has the presence of mind to also point out that the Supreme Chancellor isn’t even technically IN the GAR chain of command, he’s a CIVILIAN leader, what’s going on–
Palpatine hangs up on him.
Okay, fine, whatever. Annoying but not unsurpassable, those two were ALWAYS an irritant, their clone commanders must have done something to the chips, it WAS a clone from Skywalker’s battalion who nearly discovered them after all. He’ll take out the rest of the Council and the all-call general transmission will take out the rest of the Order, he can deal with the treacherous 501-B and 212th later–
Shaak Ti’s clone commander asks in abject bewilderment how the Supreme Chancellor even got his personal comm number. He’s not even on duty. It’s 3am. Half the Council’s clones don’t even respond. Those that do just promise to have their Jedi call back about this Order 66 thing when they’re available.
He sends the general transmission with significantly less gravitas than originally planned.
He immediately starts getting confused email notifications. Unduli sends a TEXT from some random rank-and-file clone’s comms politely reminding him that she was present for the most recent strategy meeting and there was no operation codenamed Order 66, and reminds him coolly to respect the chain of command. Depa Billaba’s commander not only calls back but actually GETS HER ON COMMS to ask if she knows the term. They patch her padawan into the call to puzzle it out. The padawan asks Palpatine what happened to his face. He sits through three full minutes of playful banter before screaming and cutting the line.
Anakin gets downstairs to kick off Knightfall. The 501st blinks at their orders, exchange long looks, agree wholeheartedly, and stun him in the back the moment he turns around before dragging his ass to the Temple medical wing.
Anakin wishes So Hard that Obi-Wan was actually his dad that he accidentally, subconsciously changes his DNA. This doesn’t affect anything immediately but a few years later someone tries to give him a blood transfusion based on his OLD medical profile and almost kills him in the process… and then they have to figure out why and then the Jedi have to just. Deal. With the revelations.
Everyone needs therapy, not as a RESULT of this but like. This is clearly a symptom of SOME kind of Ani Trauma
Run a DNA analysis trying to figure out what’s going on and is that a Stewjoni gene marker???
“So we took a DNA sample when you came and it’s… different now? But we’re reasonably certain you’re the same person so idk what’s going on.”
“Hey, medical needs Skywalker’s blood sample records from the last ten years, what did he–”
When they do all the tests and find out that somehow Obi-Wan’s Ani’s bio-dad now. Anakin bursts into (deeply confused but also very happy) tears.
Obi-Wan is also deeply confused but also assumes Anakin is crying because he’s disappointed. He thinks the idea of being biologically related is deeply upsetting to Anakin.
(Mace in the corner like “why am I the one that has to deal with your bullshit… again… you’ve given me eight headaches just this morning.”)
Kix is very upset that they almost killed Anakin because of Force Bullshit. He’s just muttering in the background. ”Stupid space magic can change people’s bloodtype apparently. Because medical emergencies aren’t difficult enough as it is.”
There’s a real part of me that’s imaging the force giving a quiet sigh of relief because thank god, Anakin’s genome was held together with spit and duct tape. He finally gave it something to WORK WITH. Between the genetic instability and the mental instability, it’s really a miracle he was still alive in the first place.
Depending on when Anakin did the change (I was thinking at sixteen, but it’s plausible it happened mid-war)…
When things calm down and Kix gets over the changing bloodtype is he also relieved that Anakin’s biology has started making more sense? Just like. Hopefully it won’t randomly change again.
“So all of General Skywalker’s medical history is…”
“Let’s go with ‘in question’ for now.”
This is mostly microscopic because the basics of his face bones were already there and he got his height early, BUT his hair does get a bit more red and he’s weirdly validated by this.
There’s like. God there’s next to no actual plot consequences other than Anakin and Obi-Wan making their psychological issues significantly more public than intended… Which admittedly can have plenty of actual plot consequences since so much plot rests on Anakin’s blatant inability to keep a level head and total spiderweb of interconnected traumas and neuroses.
Obi-Wan: So I guess this makes us siblings? That’s nice.
Medic: You can define it however you want if you want to be technical it seems like he has exactly 50% of your DNA. Something that even is usually associated more with parent and child. Full blooded siblings generally share somewhere between 38-61% of their DNA.
Obi-Wan: [panics about how he’s too young to be Anakin’s dad]
