My mom and I started watching the Fallout show but my only experience with Fallout is the Monster Factory videos with the McElroys...

I had to clip the triple head tilt from last weeks Super Mcelroy Brothers

I doubt these will sync properly but idec this has been on replay in my mind for days

[perfectlyzombiedmuffins]

I want the mcelroys to do an episode of dropouts breaking news so bad it would be so funny justin wouldn’t be able to get a word out he’d be wheezing the whole time

Sometimes when I’m sitting alone in silence for too long I’ll violently reach for my phone and shout “get me the McElroys!” Like I’m a rich billionaire yelling at a poor phone operator

Then I open Spotify

extremely cool news for the adventure zone graphic novel illustrators today!!

tl;dr - we were paid pennies for full page illustrations, the mcelroys didnt know and are now trying to get contributors fair compensation.

this goes to show how important it is to talk openly about your pay as a freelancer - it's crucial to cultivate an industry environment with strongly enforced ethical pay standards, and in which the people with the power to do something about it know when something's wrong.

Hey so this happened, huh? I'm definitely not the person to thank here several brave folks spoke up very loudly and sent very well-worded emails.

Take from this, that you have power as an artist and even more so when you stick together.

Talk to your peers about pricing, contracts, deals that make you uneasy. No matter how young you are, how new to this, you deserve to be paid fairly for your labour.

Here is the publishers statement from Twitter. They've done this before. See the emphasis on fan artist.

Look out for each other. IPs and brands will use your loyalty and love.

The Adventure Zone@TheZoneCast: (1) Today we were made aware of the terms of contracts between artists who have been featured in The Adventure Zone graphic novels and our publisher, First Second. These artists were not adequately paid for their work, and their art was put under excessively long exclusivity clauses.2:58 PM · Aug 31, 2020

@TheZoneCast (2) We are asking our publisher to lift the exclusivity terms, effective immediately, and to significantly increase the payments to artists featured in future books. We will also be compensating artists from past books an additional $500, out of pocket.

(3) We apologize for not being aware of this situation earlier, and we are urging First Second to implement these changes as soon as possible.

A comic I did over a year ago based off the events of a one-shot. Our group ran DDAL 05-02 The Black Road, and we were tasked to escort a caravan across a desert and assist in making a delivery with some NPCs. Well the NPCs tasked with driving the wagons had no type of description attached to them, and our dungeon master felt we would have more reason to be attached to these guys if we had some part in naming/describing them. The rogue and I (the bard) just came up with whatever dumb names we could think of off the top of our head, but the cleric figured she’d use a random name generator instead. Thus Peaceblade Havilar– coolness personified and dragonborn extraordinaire– was born.

…She didn’t last very long of course, since her coolness of personality did nothing to buff her commoner stat block, but she’ll live on in our memories… or something like that.

thought I wasn’t gonna cry during the TAZ Amnesty Finale, and then Duck’s monologue hit

[dennischilchuck]

I think i’m in love with Aubrey Little from TAZ amnesty 💕💕

[halcyonhue]

TAZ Amnesty just finished after an epic 2-hour finale, so I decided to edit one of my favourite ever music videos – The Wolf by SIAMES, animated by the amazing Rudo Company – to suggest Ned, Duck and Aubrey being chased around Kepler by bom-boms. I used rotoscoping so it took forever and it’s still kind of messy, but Rudo Co.’s original animation is so strong that it’s hard to ruin it :)) Pls go check out both TAZ and the original video, because they’re both stunning and a wild ride from start to finish! Thank you @rudocompany​ for permission to post this :)

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*

Monday, June 29th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, as my account is overdrawn and I am drowning in late bills.

As most of you are already aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits being revoked, under the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And due to my mental health and some unfortunate DWP mess-ups, my benefits have been on and off sanctions for the past year.

And a while ago, I attended a medical assessment for my U.C benefit, the results stated that I have a limited capability for work due to my chronic depression and extreme fatigue. However, despite this, my benefits have been suspended without warning or explanation. I appealed against my benefit suspension, and I am currently waiting for my reinstated U.C payment, however, due to being in such heavy debt, all of it will be taken immediately by my overdrawn account and late bills, leaving me with nothing for my other bills or groceries. 

To be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no income, I’ve been relying on the kindness of others to get by. However, due to quite a lot of late bills, fees and rent to be paid, it’s been difficult for me to stay out of debt and it just keeps building up. My goal to pay off all of this is £519.55.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

Thank you for your help 💖

£40/£519.55!!

Please consider helping out guys if you possibly can, if anyone could spare anything at all to help, even if it’s just a £1/$1 or a reblog, it would mean so much to me.

£150/£519.55!!

Dice Envy Mystery dice are on sale!! $6 for Acrylic and $18 for Metal~

[llatimeria]

Please buy this game bundle. It’s $5 (or more if you want) for literally 700 video games, tabletop games, not to mention game engines and assets. All proceeds are going to the NAACP and Community Bail Fund, split 50/50.

Night in the Woods and Oneshot are both in it, not to mention literally hundreds of other cool indie games I haven’t played yet that look really cool and promising. 

Also I’d like to reiterate it is $5 minimum for over $3,400 worth of content, which is just fucking insane.

[image: an illustration of Barry and Lup. Lup is a female elf with light brown skin and blonde hair. She has her arm around Barry’s shoulders and is pointing at something in front of them. She’s wearing a red jacket underneath a red robe, brown pants, knee-high black boots and blue nail polish. She’s smiling happily. Barry has his arm around her waist. He’s white with slightly shaggy brown hair and glasses. He’s wearing a red robe over a white Tshirt and blue jeans, and has a slight blush on his cheeks.]
