quint: sometimes my mom is really overprotective of me.

jack:sometimes, my mom just disappears and i never see her again, and now i have trust issues because the one father figer i trusted turned out to be traitor, and the secend father figer ended up dieing. the only thing that makes me happy is my friends and they are the only family i have, so i have a constant fear of them hating me or dieing.

dirk: kid its 6:30 in the morning.

The Petition to Repeal the HTP Exclusion in British Columbia

If you live in British Columbia, please consider signing this petition.  The "High Technology Professional Exclusion" is a policy created in the early 2000s during the Dot Com boom, when people were making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in tech startups. It was originally intended to cap unreasonable overtime wages due to this special new expertise and help smaller companies remain competitive with giants who could spend whatever they needed to bring their company into the tech age. However, some time later, this exemption was incorrectly applied to the artists, who are not high tech workers, in the Animation and VFX Industries.

For the past two decades, “high-technology professionals” and “high-technology companies” have been excluded from the hours of work, overtime and statutory-holiday provisions of the Employment Standards Act. Under employment standards, the maximum daily and weekly hours of work after which overtime rates must be paid are eight hours and 40 hours respectively. The HTP exclusion exempts “high tech workers” from these provisions, and means that they can be required to work longer hours without the benefit of overtime pay; however, in the animation industry, employers often use the HTP exclusion improperly and fail to compensate employees at all for overtime hours worked. Not even straight time pay - these hours go COMPLETELY unpaid. Often employers turn a blind eye to overtime hours worked, and either ignore the hours their employees are putting in or pretend they don’t know - whatever the reason, these hours are not recorded or accounted for in any official capacity, and therefore are not compensated.

It has not been well regulated or enforced, and ultimately at this point has just been used as a loophole to abuse artists and force sometimes excessive unpaid labour upon them. It’s time for that to change. 

Please stand with the artists who make your favourite shows in Vancouver who are tired of being abused and unpaid, who are tired of being taken advantage of, and due to being unable to sleep (because we’re up so late working unpaid overtime) who are just plain tired. Sign the petition now!

Examples of shows made in Vancouver:

My Little Pony, Rick and Morty, Carmen Sandiego, Sausage Party, TMNT, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, Cupcake and Dino, Dreamworks shows like King Julian, Puss In Boots, Home, and so so much more.

Do I know it’s an animation error that has Callum sitting on opposite edges of the bed? Yes. Am I choosing to interpret it as him purposefully moving over to make space for her (and her sitting down subsequently easier) anyway? Also yes.

i'd love your input on the new animation change !! i feel like maybe their eyes are a bit bigger and the animation is a lot more fluid :O!!

The animation is definitely more fluid than even s3 so I feel like they're gonna budget flex for sure (which good for them)! I don't think the eyes are bigger overall but I do think both Callum and Ezran - particularly Callum tbh - has less almost 'baby fat' on his cheeks. His jawline has sharpened and his and Ez's faces are leaner. Which looking at pictures of my friends & I back between ages 10 to 12 and then 15 to 17 - honestly checks out. This sort of realistic growth and aging was one of my favourite parts of the HTTYD franchise and I'm so freaking excited it's happening here now too!
