Fig Corner

gremlin / Atreus lookalike

[figgbee]

ayo

My name is Fig. I'm 21 and use he/they pronouns. My identity could probably be summed up in a Kobold. I’m small, have gremlin energy, and like things that catch my eye.

I love drawing, Minecraft, DND, GOW, FNAF, and writing fiction! If you give me a chance, I will ramble about my hyperfixations. I will also repost writing prompts and other things I find interesting. I also rant a lot, so expect some of that too! I can get super passionate about what I love, so watch out!

I also really like amusement parks and animatronics. Both have kept my interest for many years, and I know quite a bit about them. Especially about Disney. My favorite animals are bats, moths, raccoons, rabbits, and sheep.

Feel free to flood my inbox with writing prompts and any questions you may have! :)

getting incredibly tired of westerners responding to firsthand accounts shared by palestinians in gaza with the reflexive demand to see a "source"

because by source, they always mean a western news report

never mind, of course, that international journalists are banned from entering gaza; the word of the western journalist, writing in passive voice about a genocide 6000 miles away, is still deemed more 'reliable' than the firsthand accounts shared by the victims living through that same genocide

a palestinian shares a video of an IOF solider brutalizing civilians in gaza? not good enough; they still need a ''source.'' the video in question was posted by a palestinian journalist? okay cool, but does someone have a more reliable source? can we get a word in from the esteemed fact-checkers over at the new york crimes, or the iraq-has-wmds-post? we just don't want to spread misinformation...

(Nov. 7)

@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”

Do you ever like physically feel yourself pass your mental breaking point and then all you can think is “oh these next few days are going to be interesting”

[queen-breha-organa-archived-dea]

Like you’re just sitting there silently and on the outside you seem fine and gathered but in your head you’re like “oh this is gonna hit me like a train any second”

[queen-breha-organa-archived-dea]

Glad to see all 19k of us are clearly fine and okay

God they cut off all the internet and cellular networks in Gaza

We are isolated now’: Communications lost with many parts of Gaza (from Al Jazeera's live update, by reporter Tareq Abu Azzoum, 16:25 GMT)

We don’t know about anything that is happening in other districts in the territory. Maybe there are new bombardments taking place in these areas. We don’t know how many victims. We can only hear bombardments everywhere, but we don’t know any anything about the casualties, about the situation on the ground. We don’t know anything also about the medical conditions of doctors, medical workers, even at the Al-Shifa Hospital [the largest in Gaza]. The situation is catastrophic right now.  We can no longer communicate with the international community to send our voice to the world to know what is happening on the ground. I hope that this message might  reach and have an access to the world despite what we have experienced throughout the last hour. We are now in a hospital and we are going to be live by satellite as much as we can and every single hour. So please, if you can hear us, send that message to the world that we are isolated now in Gaza. We don’t have any phone signals. We don’t have any internet connections. We found great difficulty even to communicate and contact with our relatives in different parts of the territory. Journalists here, even the citizens inside the hospital, they don’t have any access to the networks. They don’t have any kind of communication even with their neighbors. There is a great problem in the network connections. We don’t know how it’s dropped. We don’t know if it was targeted. The situation on the ground is really terrible. Everyone is afraid, everyone is terrified. Please ,guys, if you can hear us send this message to the world that we are becoming isolated. Al Jazeera currently only has sporadic communication with correspondents in Gaza following the latest strikes on the besieged enclave.

there’s something very dystopian like at the fact that we’re all supposed to continue on with our lives, go to work/school, carry on with our daily routines like we’re not witnessing three countries (sudan, congo & palestine) go through a genocide and mass ethnic cleansing right now all through our mobile phones & the internet

[palipunk-deactivated20260328]

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

Yikes

Nobody is lgbt. None of us.

[demoncourse]

the exclusionists have won. They’ve excluded everyone. My god.

[sunrisetune]

For reference, “allos” = “allosexual” = “anyone who isn’t asexual / isn’t on the asexual spectrum” so, according to whichever galaxy-brained exclusionist wrote the screenshotted post, no one who’s ace or who isn’t ace is LGBT. Not a single one of us

alright here’s the plan you rapscallions:

I am going to see the FNAF movie today (opening day) and tomorrow (Friday Night). I will give a spoiler free review for anyone who comes across the post.

And then, after a week or two when spoilers are allowed, I am going to write a more thorough review/critique of the FNAF movie. I feel like a credible enough source as someone who loves the games, has taken a screenwriting course for college, and is going to college to be a writer. I don’t know everything, but I want to throw my two cents in as someone with some experience.

One day I woke up and found out that The Sims x Super Smash Bros was now a thing, the game would generate a random sim for people to play as every time, and the Final Smash Move was to Woohoo.

With Winnie-the-Pooh and The Battle of Hastings sharing an anniversary today, did you know that E. H. Shepard once drew this amazing scene for an exclusive book bag?

It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. (1/11)

We have negotiated with them in good faith, despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began.

These companies refuse to protect performers from being replaced by AI, they refuse to increase your wages to keep up with inflation, and they refuse to share a tiny portion of the immense revenue YOUR work generates for them.

We have made big, meaningful counters on our end, including completely transforming our revenue share proposal, which would cost the companies less than 57¢ per subscriber each year. They have rejected our proposals and refused to counter.

Instead they use bully tactics. Just tonight, they intentionally misrepresented to the press the cost of the above proposal – overstating it by 60%.

They have done the same with A.I., claiming to protect performer consent, but continuing to demand “consent” on the first day of employment for use of a performer’s digital replica for an entire cinematic universe (or any franchise project).

The companies are using the same failed strategy they tried to inflict on the WGA – putting out misleading information in an attempt to fool our members into abandoning our solidarity and putting pressure on our negotiators.

But, just like the writers, our members are smarter than that and will not be fooled.

We feel the pain these companies have inflicted on our members, our strike captains, IATSE, Teamsters and Basic Crafts union members, and everyone in this industry. We have sacrificed too much to capitulate to their stonewalling and greed.

We stand united and ready to negotiate today, tomorrow, and every day.

Our resolve is unwavering. Join us on picket lines and at solidarity events around the country and let your voices be heard.

One day longer. One day stronger. As long as it takes.

AMPTP is going to fight HARD for AI rights.

They really really want the right to grab actor images and voices and use them without paying the actors.

They want it much more than they wanted the right to use LLMs to generate scripts. They want AI-generated actor options much more than they wanted AI-generated writer options.

They knew AI writing is junk. They were hoping for the right to make an auto-generated script and then hand it to writers to fix, and pay those writers half of what they would for a real script. But they knew LLMs can't write full scenes, much less whole episodes.

...AI-generated "deepfakes" have gotten good. And they don't want to use it to replace the main actor in a movie... they want the right to have a famous retired actor in the background, serving drinks in the bar, and you get to hear his trademarked phrase in what sounds like his voice.

They eventually want to use AI to replace the secondary protagonist, but that's not what they're fighting for now. The tech isn't there yet. What they're fighting for now, is the right to make crowd scenes with 3 actors (that they have to pay) and 75 AI-generated bots (that they don't). Oh, and they want that crowd scene to include half a dozen visible faces of famous actors and actresses.

They want the right to redo a scene after they've made major script changes without having to call back the midlist actor who was playing the cashier.

Did I mention crowd scenes? They REALLY want to do crowd scenes without paying people, because that lets them get rid of a whole section of infrastructure: No payroll department for hundreds of people, no insurance costs, no safety concerns about too many people in the space, no broken equipment because you have 57 people dancing in a barroom set, and so on.

The AMPTP is going to try very very hard to hold out for the right to use AI-generated characters that look like real actors.

Don't believe a damn thing they say about who's not willing to negotiate. Because they don't want to negotiate; they want the right to stop having real actors at all - while still using the appearance and voice and style of the actors that the public wants to see.
