YOU'RE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY YOU WENT ON HAITUS WA
Do you think were any kind of specific aspects of the culture, industry, economy, etc that made making cartoons in 90s / 2000s better or worse than trying to make them today?
They're literally different worlds.
As a 22 year old neurodivergent, I was able to pitch show ideas directly to executives. Part of that was because TV Animation wasn't a glamorous profession (quite yet), so the higher-ups were genuinely passionate about the medium. I earned good money for the time and was generally trusted to run my show and tend to the crew. I would periodically be handed portfolios, which I would personally review and pass on to other show runners. For the networks it was always corporate, cutthroat, and ultimately about the money, but as an artist you could still have a voice and make art while being paid a living wage.
The pay for a freelance storyboard in 2005 is almost exactly what it is today, but now you're likely to have less time and be required to do an animatic on top of it. Portfolios are online, and (beyond metrics) you'll probably never know if anyone looks at it or not.
Animation got big. Too big. The executives got "glamorous", then the talent got "glamorous". By then you probably wouldn't get a pitch meeting unless you were a celebrity or knew one willing to be connected to your project. Animation eventually got so big that it popped. And that's where we are now.
Most of the people I know from Kid's TV Animation are currently unemployed. I have been off Jellystone for over a year, and I'm starting to get genuinely worried. Like, "move away to save money" worried. Most of the employed artists I do know are on long-running legacy series, and they're concerned about their futures when/if those series end. Right now is not a fantastic time for "animation as a money-making profession". The "glamorous" part popped years ago.
That being said, there are still opportunities out there. If you're just starting out, apparently there's a planned surge in adult and pre-school animation. It's also a great time (as long as YouTube remains sane) to be crafting your own content. But I think that the time of Big Studio Patronage is over for most of the industry. It's up to the individual artist now more than ever, not only to make but to promote their own content.
Back at the height of Billy & Mandy, we mostly pulled fours and fives in the Neilsen ratings, but we occasionally got a seven. For reference, E.R. consistently got eights. It's difficult to say exactly how many people that actually was due to how those ratings work, but it was a big deal for the time. Millions. Enough people that if I had a dollar for each person that just watched that one episode, I would have been set for life. Now, nobody gets a seven. A four is huge. Back then there were maybe fifteen or twenty channels of programmed content as opposed to the streaming smorgasbord we were all just enjoying (and which now also seems to have popped). Point being, even though I wasn't paid-per-view, I was able to use those views as justification for an eventual raise. In modern times, streaming numbers are seemingly deliberately kept secret. You'll never really know how well your show was doing until it's over. Or maybe never.
In modern times, a million views on YouTube is enough to get you noticed online. It's a lower bar for entry in a way, but you've got to get there all by yourself. Once you're there (hello Hazbin) a network may indeed come and scoop you up. Even if they don't, you can probably make a decent living with numbers like that if you're savvy and willing to take the time.
I feel like I could go on all day, shaking my fist at the sky, gray-ass beard blowing in the wind. Was it better or easier making cartoons in the past? It seemed that way to me, but that was a world I knew. There was no AI to sell you out to, and the media was more of a "Wild West" than it is today. I do think that AI is going to continue to displace artists (and soon others), making it even more difficult to get anyone's eyes on anything at all.
Culturally, we lack the common touchpoints that bonded our society in the 20th Century. I suspect that the media landscape will continue to become more "bubbly" and disjointed unless some powerful force swoops in to mandate a common viewpoint. Those are two very divergent, uniquely tiring futures, each presenting a different challenge for an artist's survival.
Outside of whatever our modern world is, animation was made for a century by photographing drawings. If Ămile Cohl could do it in 1908, you can do it now. It's a lot of labor, but maybe that's part of what makes it special.

An early trailblazer in the fight against HIV/AIDS and a staunch and outspoken LGBTQ+ ally, Elizabeth committed her time and energy to the cause when her friend and co-star Rock Hudson was diagnosed with AIDS prior to his passing in 1985. Elizabeth went on to become a co-founder (alongside Dr. Mathilde Krim) of the first AIDS research center amfAR, and later founded her separate Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991 with the specific focus of providing nutritious meals (as well as medical and financial assistance) to people living with HIV and AIDS. She also lobbied the U.S. congress to contribute more money for AIDS research and education, devoting the last twenty-six years of her life to the cause. After Elizabeth passed away in 2011 at the age of 79, a large portion of the $115,932,000 raised at the Christieâs auction of her legendary jewelry collection was bequeathed to her charity in order to continue providing the services and assistance she believed were important in perpetuity. Still actively raising funds today, Elizabethâs grandson Quinn Tivey is now an officer and co-trustee of her foundation. Reflecting on his grandmotherâs humanitarianism and advocacy, he recently stated: âThe fight against HIV/AIDS was such a vital part of her legacy, and although the fight is far from over, Iâm honored to see the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation continue her work, educating legislators, raising awareness for the public, disproving myths and decreasing fear and stigma. Grandma stood up for what she believed in, living boldly and courageously. She would never buckle under pressure, and she certainly would not support the status quo if the status quo didnât feel right.â
So do we wipe our blogs or what?
Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.
Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.
Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.
Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?
So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)
Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.
Please do reblog for awareness.
Itâs okay to say how you feel. And I feel like I love this! âWith Loveâ by @sarashakeel.⣠.⣠.⣠.⣠posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CDNLe9qIvIk/

Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.
This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.
People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!
Ruby you might not think youâre a hero⌠But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!
this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacyâŚbeing enraged at a damn baby just because sheâs black.
sheâs still alive by the way
Ruby Bridges in 2010Â
âAs Bridges describes it, âDriving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.â Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, âShe showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didnât whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and weâre all very very proud of her.âÂ
U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school
As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, âas if she were teaching a whole class.â
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her;Â because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.
Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said âscared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.â At her motherâs suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.â

THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40â˛S AND 50â˛S.Â
DONâT LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITHÂ âWHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,â BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.
This was her then:
This is literally how she looks in 2017.Â
Sheâs literally not even  old.Â
This is alway profound to me and gives me chills

If you need a starting point or want to further educate yourself on the black communityâs relationship with the police/law enforcement I HIGHLY recommend watching the documentary â13thâ on Netflix. It is life changing and eye opening.
For the people who don't have Netflix, they put the documentary online for free.
It is a must watch.
Hi guapo! Do you like poetry? Write it? Your language, descriptions and form of expression is very rich and knowledgeable. Love your blog my Jack! â¤ď¸
Hey! I had to see what guapo means haha thatâs very kind of you đ¤
Yes I love poetry! Iâm somewhat of an old school romantic type so Wordsworth, Blake, Byron and Shelley. And yes I do write poetry too, sometimes they appear on here but some I write for myself.
I find poetry to be magic, itâs encapsulating thoughts and images and feelings within words, itâs beautiful when a write a good poem. Most of them I think are pretty bad đ
Thatâs very kind of you xx
Sorry to intervene. Guapo means: handsome, cutie, gorgeous...
Let the Wolf in: Commence the Ragnarok
This writing is a continuation of my Solar Eclipse writing from Christmas Day which you can find Here. Friday, January 10th, Wolf Moon Eclipse, And So Shall Hati Devour Our Souls Has it been a hard month for you? You arenât alone. In the midst of some intense crying out, a friend messaged me and she told me âLet the Wolf inâ. And in that moment I found such comfort and solace in those words. It was if my problems could be simplified to something more pure and primal yet something that also gave me the allowance to trust my instincts and beastly side and the ability to devour my problems. We become so afraid of our instincts when shackled by human expectations. Yet when the beast comes out there is nothing to hold back in our actions, we simply are and move with the force of the wild. This Wolf Moon is all about connecting with your inner beast, the rage and fury at all, and that hungering longing for tribe, pack, and community and the sense and need to protect your own from the dangers of this world. Many of my predictions about this time which were far from light suggested this Moon and the conjunctions following it on Sunday, January 12th, would usher in the era of Ragnarok. And before we get into all that I mean by Ragnarok, the first and foremost thing that is important is to know that Ragnarok has two meanings. The Godâs Destruction is one such meaning, but also the Twilight of the Gods. And to those who follow the path that I am on which is known as Rokkatru, true to the Gods of the twilight, this is the awakening of those forces of nature that have been hidden and kept out of view for a long time. Our human society sought to be so ordered, but only produced disorder. It sought to become clean of all filth, yet is completely unclean and disgusting. We tried to turn away from nature and shut her out and so we forgot the cries of the wild, the running of wolves, the hissing of serpents, the movement of beetles, the changing colors of the sky, the rustling of the wind, the movement of rivers, the ever moving currents of nature all around us and she is wild, dynamic, and ever changing. Constantly going through processes of death and rebirth as are we. And we have become sick in this human filth. We feast on poison and we have lost our natural intuition. We have lost our guiding force, the Earth itself in all her many manifestations. We stopped honoring her as the most beloved, and you should be grateful because she is incredibly merciful, but she cannot take our filth and destruction anymore. She needs us to change and rebirth, and she is about to eradicate the poisons from our Earth that are polluting her, the people in power that are destroying her, the people in power who are lying to the masses and orchestrating war and terror around the world. And it is all of our nations, in one giant conspiracy, all bowing to the head of the all mighty dollar bill. And for what? Australia has been on Fire, over a billion animals have died. Our water and air is polluted. More and more people enter poverty every day and most of us are only a check or two away from being homeless. We are constantly barely scratching the threshold of survival. And none of it seems fair because they spend trillions of dollars on Wars while we are completely lied to about them. And none of this makes sense and none of it makes us feel good, but how can we avoid the truth of reality anymore? And so this twilight of the Gods is bringing destruction to a very different type of God then we are taught about in myth. It is my strong belief that Odin represents the line of Kings as it was often in Norse society the aristocrats, the Kings, the political leaders, the clergy who worshipped Odin. The commoner had different Gods and Goddesses depending on where their focus lie. Odin was a very new introduction in Norse mythology that did not arrive until the 1st century. Before then who exactly was the All-Father creator of the world, or was there ever one? What ascribed all this focus and influence into an omnipotent, omniscient force, an all-seeing eye that has command and authority over everyone? Yet what the Norse myths establish that the World Religions fail to, is that this Odin is not truly all powerful for there is a prophecy that his world will end and the forces of the twilight will awaken to destroy him and his influence and reign. These Gods are the Demagogues, Dictators, Authoritarian Leaders, yet they are also Industry, Capitalism, Corporations, Products, Consumption, Drugs, Fame, Money, Greed, Plastic, Oil, Rape, Sex, Guns, War, Celebrities, and even torture. As Marilyn Manson once said, âDo you love your Guns? YEAH! Your God? YEAH! Your Government? FUCK YEAH!â Itâs the Roman Empire all over again. And there is this faction that keeps pretending they can keep on playing the same old games as if they can completely divorce their vision and implement it aside from everyone elseâs living reality and needs and never suffer any consequences, oh and manipulate our sexual and creative instincts endlessly to serve their ends like fucking psychic vampires. They impose it on us and we take from the hand that feeds us because it feels like we have no choice. Fascism is a major theme of this year and the powers of our world governments are about to amp up their shenanigans big time. Weâre about to see some very uncomfortable truths including truths about each other. There is a lot we keep hidden in projecting our images, yet what is essential lying underneath it all? We are creatures with needs and wants and emotions and pain and feelings and sicknesses. And there is so much our brothers and sisters hide from us that we never bother to ask about and so much we hide from others about ourselves. And there are so many ways we donât see the real people we are inside and in each other. And this is a time of survival with those who can help you survive, those you can trust. There is a strong sense of economic collapse on the horizon and that a War for power is breaking out as we are also feeling the possibility of another War breaking out in the world and in this all the sides are lining up in order to benefit from this politically, but is it in the best interest of all or just more self-serving behavior meant to screw us? Iâm pretty sure we all know the answer. Love one another. We have fallen so far, we have forgotten it, what it means. When people are so gripped by fear and ideologies it is impossible to see the human in one another anymore. So gripped by our beliefs about the way people should be or behave, we forget how to dialogue and make real connections and solutions. We forget how to actually help people. Yet we have to stand up for Injustice and for ourselves so it is important to ask where we can communicate and also compromise where it might be useful, but to also know where we need to put our foot down and demand no more. This Moon is gonna draw you inward. It might have a naturally isolating effect that you cannot predict and more than likely the global political world will be a completely different place when we wake up on Monday or even during this weekend. Do not underestimate the grip of Fascism upon the world, but know we can only overcome it if we unite in some way, not through civil war. That is important. This Moon is heavy. You are going to reap what you have sewn good and bad. The ways we have been callous to our fellow humans may really rear their ugly head if we do not heed the lessons. Yet we also pay for the ways we have turned a blind eye and have avoided telling the Truth or doing the right thing, which is not often easy. You will be processing details about your whole life and everything you know about the world and its dysfunctions during this moon, and youâre going to undergo a personal death that will have the ability to bring great healing. Itâs a death to the Ego and thatâs not always fun, but when you release what stands in your way, what will you instead become? So what do I mean by Ragnarok? Well I think weâre in a War of the World and itâs going to take your full participation and engagement and that the external pressures will force themselves in on us in ways that are going to challenge everything about what it means to be human and what we stand for. In fact weâve been carrying out religious wars for millenia. What the fuck is that about? How fucking stupid is that? And thatâs one of the ways we need to transform as well. Why the heck are we allowing political ideologies and religions to kill each other and take so much human casualty in their warring? And just how much have we destroyed our Earth? We might not even have a clue. Weâre told all the time itâs far worse than we could imagine, and that reality is about to rear its ugly head as well and force us to face it whether we like it or not, no matter our beliefs. Why is it that the Left perpetually destroys itself and never creates the unity it seeks? We have to remember what we are fighting for which is to bring people of all walks of life together to create a better world. And unfortunately with the grips of Racism, Fascism, Nazism, it makes it really fucking hard to do that. So the instinct is to inflict poison, sarcasm, disrespect, and hatred. Yet how is anyone going to listen to us if we keep doing that? Why canât people understand these messages? Because they are imposed upon them with force and violence in intent. They are posed as morally judging, yet they are morally judging. It canât really be avoided, yet how can we soften and create dialogue and connection? That is a continuous theme for 2020 and I am not asking that you compromise in any way that keeps you a victim because that is the exact opposite of what you want to do, but to find the ways to reach others in the heart, in the ways that actually matter and allow solutions instead of division. You need to stand up for what you believe in, but there is no point if you are just standing on a soap box or are an echoing chamber for some point of view. In fact, we all have something to teach each other. So we have felt this collapse for a long long time. We felt civilization and humanity would reach a breaking point and that point is now. Yet, there is something psychedelic about Ragnarok. For just as War and the political powers are moving in the world for global dominance, so is the awakening of this shadow power that you should draw into yourself from this moon. This shadow is everything, it is your deep inward power to transform reality, and it is what has been kept locked away in you. It is the great wolf Fenris on the border of reality kept chained in the cold and ready to break free and unleash it all in the risk of self-destruction if thatâs what it takes if only to break free of this prison at last. It is the great Wolf set free to devour all that has kept it shackled and hidden from the shores of human reality. Itâs the awakening of all your fears and your need to confront them, and itâs the act of remembering your dark side and getting into the grimy shadows of your existence and all that lurks there. If you are a Witch itâs time to embrace the dark side and learn a thing or two about baneful magic. So many people think the way of the world is to be continuously wronged and then just repeatedly forgive people until they stop preying on your innocence. Yeah, okay, never worked for me. You got to fight fire with fire. You got to fight evil and if you really want it, you need to seek out those guides who will help you that are lurking in the dark, that take care of the destructive processes of nature, because a lot needs to be hacked away and destroyed in our lives and we have to learn to accept darkness. We have to trust that our power becomes stronger when we have confidence in the dark even when we do not see the way out of it. We must continue every day seeking the roots of our reality and its possibility for deep transformation. These forces of the world will clash and many of them will destroy one another, and people are going to die too, but the more it can be focused on the people who deserve it and away from the masses, away from needless wars the better. Look, our planet is sick. We must eradicate the sickness. The time is now. What are you waiting for? Stop feeding yourself poison and stop taking actions that destroy your soul. Stop biting the hand that feeds you and take your power back where you have a say. Start asking yourself, how can I help more, how can I be there more for my brother and sister? How can I be there for the Earth? And how can I improve this world best? And what say do I have in the affairs that be? Yet most importantly, let the Wolf in, listen to your instincts, and go. Stop compromising the nature that lives inside yourself. It is real, and you are a beast. And you are a wild cry in the forest shrieking for her babies. Yet there is this burst of excitement when we listen to our wildness and let it overtake us. When we let it possess us and take us places. Embrace that wildness, scale new mountains, rise to new heights, experience and weep at the majesty of this life, be filled with its wonder and adventure for it is calling out to you and it wants you to throw off the shackles that have kept you in chains, even your very thoughts and beliefs, all that has kept you from running freely inside yourself, on your instinct, on your purest gut feelings. Thereâs no time for bullshit, itâs time for the raw and the real.

Iâm really fucking broke right now. Anyone that would like to help out with a donation, if my work has maybe touched you in some way at some point in time, it would be dearly appreciatedâas an artist on disability there can be moments where it is really tough to eke out a living and right now is one of those moments. My partnerâs dad recently passed away so they have also been unable to work due to the mental health triggers that his passing has brought up, so itâs been tough. If anyone feels called to make a donation my paypal email is [email protected].Â
