A one stop shop intended to focus on RWBY smut that I feel deserves more attention: gangbangs, exhibitionism, b*stiality (mainly Grimm), and M/F incest in particular, at the moment. Header pic by @the_clipping Profile pic by @maverick-h-stuff
Which couples would you be most interested in seeing ideas for a fankid for? (no promises, but just curious)
Should've answered this a long time ago, but I'd probably be interested in seeing ideas for Whitley and the Schnee ladies, as well as Qrow and Raven Branwen.
I am probably the angriest I've ever been. Let me tell you why:
America wrote and signed a treaty with Iran and during this "ceasefire" IRGC threw a big mourning party for their supreme leader, but before he was put in the grave they started shooting missiles at navies. I repeat, they ignored the ceasefire BEFORE they actually put the fucker underground.
The south of Iran is attacked everyday, places I've been to, and grown up in. Do you hear a single sound coming out of the "no war" crowd? The people who were so worried about the "infrastructure"? No you don't. But every single day we hear these fuckers + the IRGC executives talk about Lebanon. Lebanon will be fine if you freaks stop sending monetary and military support to Hezbollah. Lebanon will be fine the moment you stop your shitty proxy islamist groups from razing it to the ground. What will happen to the country you're occupying tho? You destroy it, because if you can't have it no one else can? Fuck off.
And the proverbial nail on the coffin was JD Vance talking shit about things he has no idea about. "94 million Iranians are gonna flood into our countries as refugees". Motherfucker 94 million Iranians are struggling to make ends meet. 94 million Iranians have not left Iran because it's their fucking home. 94 million Iranians are held HOSTAGE in the home that's occupied by a terrorist regime you'll be aiding by unfreezing their assets and giving them breathing room. Do I even need to talk about how fucking hard it is for us to get Visas?
The moment this war started every country came out with regulations and statements of not taking "Iranian refugees", which funnily enough was not the case for Syria, for Afghanistan, for Ukraine, for any other country but when it came to Iran, they just couldn't let it happen, which is whatever I don't give a shit but what pisses me off is the way they talk about us, as if we were waiting for this moment just to flee to other places. Y'all forget how people died because they wanted to have life in their own country.
Finishing on a heavy note, IRGC has started a new wave executions. Aref Khoshkar, Mohammad Amini Dahaghani to name two. Prisoners are going on hunger strike to protest this and I hear nothing about it on the media. Be their voice.
And the regime has not announced a state of war in the south yet. They are forcing kids to go to school in person for the exams despite the bombs. Some kids even had their exam locations moved to IRGC bases!
The islamic regime wants to get Iranian kids killed to buy pity for themselves. Remember this before tragedy happens again
Fuck the islamic republic and free Iran đđŚâ¤ď¸
Iran saw how the world responded when a schoolbuilding, that recently was part of a still-active adjacent miliarty compound, got blown up with children inside.
Too many people see "Iranian regime hates Israel" and go "therefore Iranian regime good."
The Iranian regime also hates the Iranian people. The Iranian regime also hates you. If you are on this website you are not enough of an Arab Islamist extremist for them. You're too white (even if you're Black), you're too Western (even if you're from Asia), you're too liberal (even if you're a Christian evangelical). They literally do not want anyone alive except their own selves.
Stop supporting the persecution of the Iranian people just because the Ayatollah said "Israel bad." Support the Iranian people, who are literally dying to be free.
When a literal neo nazi starts repeating rhetoric that the pro palestine movement does (Palestinians are the real semites), the movement really needs to ask themselves "what are we doing to make neo nazis feel welcome and how can we stop that"
But they wont. They'll just go "a broken clock is right twice a day" and continue to allow literal neo nazis to associate with them.
Also quick history lesson, semite used to be a linguistic term, aka referring to a group of languages. Then white supremist "race scientists" decided to use it as a racial category for jews only. And since the holocaust, it has gone back to being a linguistic only term. The term anti-semitism was coined because the previous German term of judenhaas (jew hate) wasn't intellectual enough and was coined when the race scientists defition of semite was being used.
Even for apps where they donât have a publicly stated minimum, their algorithms will bury you.
4 stars does not mean 4 stars. It means 1.4 stars.
If you give a person a 4 star rating, to these companies, you are not saying âI was mostly satisfied with the service, but thereâs always room for improvementââwhich is what 4 stars should meanâyou are voting for them to be fired.
Genuinely, do not ever give people 4 star ratings on gig service apps for any reason that is not a safety issue where their continuation on the app could seriously hurt people.
If someone gives you âjust OKâ service where you donât want to give them 5 stars, but you donât actively hate their existence and hope they die, just donât rate them.
a series of unfortunate events is really the blueprint for characters doomed by the narrative like i think that series changed my brain chemistry forever⌠the title tells you how the story will end and the author repeatedly tries to warn you away but still you pick up the book. the first sentence is that itâs a tragedy and you keep reading anyway.. you read through the whole story and itâs terrible and tragic and unfortunate and then after youâve stayed up late reading it under your covers with a flashlight, you go to your school library as soon as class is over and check out the next book in the series because you need to know what happens even though really, you already know. the end is right there in the title, itâs there in every page .. before the story even begins you know itâs a tragedy and you read it anyway andâ
The ever-relevant People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn:
âThink about what we expect from the endings of stories. We expect the good guys to be âsavedâ. If that doesnât happen, we at least expect the main character to have an âepiphanyâ. And if that doesnât happen, then least the author ought to give us a âmoment of graceâ. All three are Christian terms. So many of our expectations of literature are based on Christianityâ and not just Christianity, but the precise points at which Christianity and Judaism diverge. And then I noticed something else: the canonical works by authors in Jewish languages almost never give their readers any of those things. In fact, I saw that many of the canonical stories and novels in modern Yiddish and Hebrew literature actually didnât have endings at all.â
I remember when 2D faded out, the reason studios kept giving was "it's because 2D is a lot more expensive to produce". I was a child back then so I didn't think too much about it, assuming it was about the process itself, but as I grew up and learned more about art as an artist, and gained friends who were professional 3D artists themselves, I started to question it. Because 3D is very different from 2D, but it's definitely not easier or faster to make. Also, both European and Asian studios kept producing 2D animated movies
The answer was unions. The answer wasn't "this kind of art is cheaper because it's easier to make", it was "this kind of art is cheaper because these artists can't force us to pay them correctly"
Heyo! Animaton Industry Worker here! I'm here to provide even more context as to why this post sucks and why assumptions like this actually hurt us (Animation Workers) in the long run. (Also, all Animation (2D and 3D) *IS* unionized. That was a misinformed assumption added to this post that has no basis in reality and has been taken at face value.)
To spare your dashboards, it's all below the jump.
Anyway.
"The Day The Earth Blew Up" is a Warner Bros. Animation Studios film, which has very different production pipelines and business models compared to Disney or other animated films that you might be thinking of.
Additionally, $15 Million is actually.... pretty freaking cheap for a traditionally animated feature film, and I'm pretty sure that figure would have been a lot bigger IF THEY HAD INCLUDED MARKETING. Don't forget that marketing is a part of the budget! Remember the big movement on social media that encouraged people to go see it to make sure it sent a message to execs?
The Day The Earth Blew Up's Budget: $15 million
Total Box Office Returns: $15.1 million
Profit: $0.1 million
Verdit: Barely Broke Even. In Studio terms: a flop.
The last animated feature film from Warner Bros. Studios was "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim." Did you see that one? It was pretty good, actually. The animation and production for that film was outsourced to New Zealand, which probably offered tax breaks to the US company (ie: drove down costs for the studio).
(Fun Fact! Look up "The Hobbit Laws" in New Zealand! New and wonderful ways to undermine workers rights abroad! Hooray!)
War of the Rohirrim Budget: $30 million
Total Box Office Returns: $20.7 million
Losses: $9.3 million
Verdict: Flop
Now let's look at some Disney films! Remember, these figures aren't broken down for us, so we have to remember that MARKETING IS A PART OF THE BUDGET.
Elio Budget: $150-$200 million
Total Box Office Returns: $151 million
Losses: $0-9 million.
Verdict: Flop.
Inside Out 2 Budget: $200 million
Total Box Office Returns: $1.7 BILLION
Verdict: Success! Now do another one or you're fired!
The point I'm trying to make here is that: STUDIOS DO NOT LOOK AT MONEY THE SAME WAY WE DO. Fifteen million is pocket change and it's frankly a miracle a traditionally animated film was made with that kind of money. But if a movie does not make LITERAL BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, the cold, hard numbers dictate it is a failure. STUDIOS HAVE TO MAKE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO STAY IN BUSINESS. THEY ARE NOT IN IT FOR THE LOVE OF ART. Late Stage Capitalism has ruined everything, babyyyyyy! The numbers aren't real any more!
Please picture me saying this to you as gently as possible: if you don't have an accurate breakdown of where the budget goes and how entertainment is made, it's grossly misinformed to assume that you can make more movies on that same budget.
You cannot look at a big number that, to us, would be a life changing amount of money, and assume it has that same meaning to a mega-corporation that live and die on a completely different plane of existence from us. If you do not make the effort to understand the particulars of what it takes for a piece of art to exist, you are doing the entire artform and the artists who create it a disservice and contributing to the undermining of our rights in the entertainment economy.
When you understand how things work, you can:
petition and lobby for things like penalties for US companies who outsource their labor to international studios to avoid paying American union rates.
petition studios for longer on screen credits and streaming services to stop skipping them entirely.
overcome sticker shock and support independent animated pilots on crowdfunding platforms without the expectation of an entire season of fully animated 28 minute long episodes, because GOOD LORD how can you possibly do all of that on a just handful of millions???
completely revolutionize and support workers rights because you DEMONSTRATE AN UNDERSTANDING AND GENUINE VALUE OF THE WORK! And then have wildly productive conversations with the workers in those industries in such a way that the glamour is stripped from studios who depend on their untouchable reputation to take advantage of uninformed newcomers to the industry!
Remember that Credits are there for a reason! The next time you watch your favorite movie or show, don't skip the credits! Look for the names of some new artists to become a fan of and directly support. They're the ones making art for arts sake!
