The Little Mouse

L'ptit nid douillet de la souris

[desc-evy]

Shoka is one of my first OC, not THE one, but yeah, she’s been there since 2006? Something like that. “Recently”, I started to write a bit on her. She didn’t really had “her” story. It’s in french, so if I post it here, ther will be no translation in english sorry.

What can I say on her…

She’s really energetic and sometimes lazy, like only a cat can be. She can do everything for her family if needed, being really happy and then, when something goes wrong being a real pain. (She’s a bit like a tsundere, y'know). She has…, well, a bad temper.

She can transform in a cat, like a really big mainecoon.

She likes milk and eat everything. Even if she’s a cat, she’s not intolerant to lactose like an ordinary cat.

She dislikes vampires and troubles always come to her.

One year ago, we started a small RP campaign with some friends. Five players + The GM. For some of us, it was our first time, and yeah, the firsts parties were a bit awkward x’D. Our GM is really patient with us (yeah, even now xD) For me, it was my first “long” campaign… I only did oneshot (DnD, Call of Cthulu,…) So I was really excited by all this! I decided to go with a Desert elf, a druid. Saïra travelled from her homeland, Hymnos, to the other continent, Hepnos. She’s carefree, a bit of a scrooge sometimes. She loves teasing, and is a bad liar too (as far as I know, no dice roll on persuasion did the job… so…). We found out one day, that the campaign was made for a “small one” (~ 4 parties) but, we were soooo hyped by the story, the GM continued with it =D And here we are, officially one year later, with soon the 18th times. I think it’s a really great thing and am really proud of us! (even if the GM want to kills us really bad… *coughs*)

The universe is based on DnD but it’s “homemade”. (We love to torture our GM with some sillies questions… like IF we send a letter to another NPC… how much days and money will it take? But never send it anymay.. xD)

All this introduction only to presents to you the others members of my party :D So, in upper left, we have Werne de Sangalant, our talented bard and babysitter, a… man of good taste. Onyx, an innocent warforged, who was discarded even before going to war, ‘cause the war had ended. He takes good care of us (really. I don’t even know how much LIVES I need to repay him…) Now, the down left : Saïra, my character, desert elf, druid, with Esen, falcon, her familiar blablabla. OUR CUTE LITTLE LILY. Not a player. Just a NPC we decided to adopt along the way… powerful necromancer whoooo doesn’t control it well… BUT SHE TRY! We are so proud of her. *good parent vibe* Ken Ignis is a Genaci, he come from the same continent than Saïra. He’s a sorcerer and use his flames to burn everything (well, not everything, and not always, but we’ve seen a lot already…). And finally, our Svörfuður, an elf drow, and a monk. I think he’s the one with the more tragic story at the moment (Onyx and Lily have goods ones too.).

i’ll try to talk about the evolution of this campaign and post other drawing to go with it =D Hope you’ll enjoy the ride!

[sideways-eight-train]

Holy shit dude

This sounds like... really important? What the FUCK Disney??

[sideways-eight-train]

They are just straight up not paying loyalties! "Disney’s argument is that they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract."

This is seriously dangerous to creators

Read the letter from Alan Dean Foster:

Dear Mickey,

We have a lot in common, you and I.  We share a birthday: November 18.  My dad’s nickname was Mickey.  There’s more.

When you purchased Lucasfilm you acquired the rights to some books I wrote.  STAR WARS, the novelization of the very first film.  SPLINTER OF THE MIND’S EYE, the first sequel novel.  You owe me royalties on these books.  You stopped paying them.

When you purchased 20th Century Fox, you eventually acquired the rights to other books I had written.  The novelizations of ALIEN, ALIENS, and ALIEN 3.  You’ve never paid royalties on any of these, or even issued royalty statements for them.

All these books are all still very much in print.  They still earn money.  For you.  When one company buys another, they acquire its liabilities as well as its assets.  You’re certainly reaping the benefits of the assets.  I’d very much like my miniscule (though it’s not small to me) share.

You want me to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) before even talking.  I’ve signed a lot of NDAs in my 50-year career.  Never once did anyone ever ask me to sign one prior to negotiations.  For the obvious reason that once you sign, you can no longer talk about the matter at hand.  Every one of my representatives in this matter, with many, many decades of experience in such business, echo my bewilderment.

You continue to ignore requests from my agents.  You continue to ignore queries from SFWA, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.  You continue to ignore my legal representatives.  I know this is what gargantuan corporations often do.  Ignore requests and inquiries hoping the petitioner will simply go away.  Or possibly die.  But I’m still here, and I am still entitled to what you owe me.  Including not to be ignored, just because I’m only one lone writer.  How many other writers and artists out there are you similarly ignoring?

My wife has serious medical issues and in 2016 I was diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer.  We could use the money.  Not charity: just what I’m owed.  I’ve always loved Disney.  The films, the parks, growing up with the Disneyland TV show.  I don’t think Unca Walt would approve of how you are currently treating me.  Maybe someone in the right position just hasn’t received the word, though after all these months of ignored requests and queries, that’s hard to countenance.  Or as a guy named Bob Iger said….

“The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”

I’m not feeling it.

Alan Dean Foster

SIGNAL.

BOOST.

Because you know if Disney gets away with not paying creators, everyone else will want to see if they can get away with it.

[the-geek-cornucopia]

THIS IS INSANE. AND YES IF THEY WIN, THEN ALL THE CORPORATIONS WILL DO IT.

reblogging again because i need something happy today

[tribeoftrolls]

Fun fact: The voice actor of Yakko name Rob Paulsen. Did this song scene in…ONE…take. Don’t believe me? Look it up. Also..here’s a video of him doing the song with no lyrics in front of him during a comic con conference.

They did an update to the song because in the almost 30 years since a lot has changed (mostly just the break up of the Soviet Union)

Also I just love watching voice actors work because sometimes you can see their character in their face. It’s like for them it’s impossible to make the sound without looking a little like the character. And you see that here a bit with Rob Paulsen

Yeah, you can tell the original was written in a very specific time frame - it references German reunification (October 1990) but not the dissolution of Yugoslavia (started June 1991) or the Soviet Union (December 1991).

News - Frontière part 1

Oh! Hi!

Sorry for the english followers, it’s for the start of a french novel I’m writing (for fun =D )

*tousse* Hum, ça fait longtemps que j’ai rien posté ici dites donc… Comme évoqué sûrement sur d’autres postes, je suis active sur Instagram =D Je prends l’occasion de passer sur Tumblr pour partager ce petit lien : https://www.deviantart.com/iksumi/art/Frontiere-part-1-FR-858956213 Il s’agit de la 1ère partie d’un écrit sur Shoka, un perso qui me suit depuis trèèèès longtemps. Je m’amuse beaucoup dessus et j’en suis venue à me dire “pourquoi ne pas le poster ?”. Bref, après quelques retours, j’ai pris un peu confiance et j’ai décidé de poser ça ici également ! Hésitez pas à me laisser un commentaire, si ça vous a plu ou pas, pourquoi ? Si vous avez des conseils ou que vous avez vu une coquille qui aurait échappé aux multiples relectures…

Bonne lecture, restez prudents et prenez soin de vous et des autres ! /o/

I'm curious, what exactly is Zevent? I've been seeing your reblogs and that's an INCREDIBLE amount of money raised.

Hello :D 

So Zevent is a French Charity Stream organized by two French Streamers Zerator and Dash since four years. The goal is to raise fund for different ONG each year with the help of French Streamers and their community. 

During three days non-stop (friday and the week end) some streamers are reunited to play video-games, to talk about the association (interview, information...), to do challenges...They have donation goals to motivate their community, they give money too, they encourage to give one euro because the most important thing is to give even if it’s “small”. For example 132 000 people choose to donate 1 €. 

In 2019, the Zevent raised 1M € ten hours before the end...the final sum was 3M5 € for the Pasteur Institute. It was completely insane and a world record in the charity stream...AND THEY BROKE IT AGAIN ! 

Today for Amnesty International, during three days, forty French streamers raised 5 724 178 € on Twitch. (532 000 viewers were active but during the event it is mounted to 600 000...all french speaking viewers. Clearly not a big community on Twitch. Can you imagine how it’s insane for us ?!)

Honestly it’s an incredible event getting more and more recognition through years, mostly since the 3M5 € for Pasteur Institute. Of course we were afraid it would not happen because of the Covid...BUT they did it. The streamers who were able to come had to follow a rigorous health protocol and the ones who couldn’t because of the COVID participated at their home. 

They did it and they reached an another world record. It’s incredible...I’m so proud and overwhelmed by joy 😭 . 

Edit : You know yesterday was crazy when Zevent has it own wiki page in French and un English. If you want to have more details 😊 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Event )
