One of the moments that made me realize my interpretation of Mondo was a lot different than most of the fandom's was when I was watching a sprite animation to a Disney cover medley and it had Mondo as Gaston and people were like "wow that casting is perfect!!!" in the comments and in my mind I was like "no the fuck it isn't"
if someone started singing Mondo's praises to his face in regards to how big and strong and masculine he is and said that makes him better than other people he would probably be extremely uncomfortable and try anything to shut them up because he literally hates himself
Ubisoft Assassin's Creed's Evie Frye Voice Actress Victoria Atkins has been replaced by AI while protesting for SAG-AFTRA
ALTShe also never receives residuals
And yet Ubisoft continues to make more AC games whilst not even paying their workers what they’re owed… and using AI. Wow.
WHAT THE W H A T

Okay so I did some research, very basic research, on the user base of tumblr and how many of us there are.
There are at least 300 million unique visitors worldwide on this site. Over 500 million blogs.
Listen. Tumblr is $30 million in debt. This is Super easy for us to solve.
If each user gifts one blog crabs, which costs slightly over $3, that would be roughly $600 million at least. Far more than enough to get Tumblr out of the red zone.
If we want tumblr to stay afloat and not change something as integral about their operating system, we need to show them they can be profitable without reducing themselves to common social media sites. What we have here is special. It is different. We are the social media site people run to when theirs collapses and for good reason.
If we want this to work, we have to make it work. We can even make it into a game. Just how long can we outlast the other social media sites?
Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying.
It needs to be a holiday. Pick a date a few weeks from now, and just make it Crab Day. Maybe a Saturday as a lot of people are paid on Fridays. Just in case this post becomes more popular than any I've had before, lets set the date as the last Saturday in July (which for us in 2023 will be July 29th.)
On July 29th, gift as many crabs as you can without breaking the bank. Post crab memes if you cannot afford a crab.
Tumblr can pull this off. Tumblr likes doing things like this.
guys i drank a raw egg today
As one does
100% normal
Questioning this would be freakish
I’d kill you two but the egg will do it for me
and
Streets saying that the Deadline article about the strike is fear mongering and propaganda. The studios cannot hold like this. They know this negotiation is the big one, the one that changes entertainment for the next 100 years.
Keep supporting the writers and brace yourselves for more propaganda.
And if you haven't seen it, the great thread that explains it.

jesus fucking christ
"i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it" good news! it's amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike
The sheer fucking selfish soulless laziness of this drives me daft. Yeah, great, you can get a bot to churn you out some crappy generic ending, rather than one written with love and thought and heart by an actual human being. And you can do it in a couple of seconds, rather than having to put any thought into it yourself.
Why do they think so many stories go unfinished in the first place? Could it be perhaps because writing is hard work, and that writers are people with real lives to balance with their writing?? Question, anonymous commenter: did you bother to comment on the fic while the author was still updating, letting them know how much you were enjoying it, offering them motivation to continue? Did you get in touch with them to ask about the story and where it was headed? Did you give the author the slightest indication that they were writing a story that someone else out there enjoyed? Did you think of the author as a fellow human being and member of fandom community at all before you decided to feed their story into some fucking machine to get your shitty by-the-numbers McFanfic conclusion?
Speaking as a writer: honestly, if someone came to me and told me they’d written an ending to an unfinished story of mine - I mean actually written, with their own imagination, under their own steam - I might have mixed feelings, depending on the circumstances, but at least I would know that they had loved the story enough to actually put the thought and the effort into creating an ending for it. Honestly, I’d very probably be flattered. It certainly wouldn’t be the same slap in the face that just feeding it to fucking chatgpt would be. Maybe you could try that next time your favourite fic is languishing unfinished. Only that would take - gasp - actual effort and engagement on your part.
From the bottom of my heart: fuck AI. And fuck this lazy, entitled culture of instant gratification that enables this sort of behaviour.
