TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!
TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.
If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.
We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

They're not wrong-
So, recently I started getting into the Transformers franchise, and for some stupid reason, my brain has decided that I need to make my own au for it. This happens more often than it should.
In the au, I have decided to combine aspects of multiple continuities, (aligned, unicron, idw, etc.), to make one big storyline. I'm also in the process of designing the characters.
So, I'll just randomly post about it here sometimes. Maybe some character designs, profiles, or just rants about my plans for it. For now though, as of making this post, I only have one design kind-of ready, that being Blades.
My favorite of the Blades redesigns:
(Sorry if the image has bad quality, idk if it does or not)
This is may favorite of the designs, but it might change somewhere down the line.
So, a while ago I talked about how I have this TMNT au and that I was going to post about it. I completely forgot and I have found the note document I made about it.
Here's the basics about the au:
It's set in the 2012-verse.
Imagine if Saki had somehow gotten the turtles when they were little and raised them.
No ships in this at the moment, if any at all.
I'm calling it the defection au, but that is subject to change.
I don't really know what else to put here, but if anyone wants to hear about the rest of what I have planned for the au, let me know. I don't know how many people will actually look at this stuff, but I might keep occasionally posting about it.
Need to organize my notes still, so I'm going to just leave it here for right now.
Thundercracker, to the other seekers: Why can’t we all just get along? Sunstorm: Because most of us are assholes, Thundercracker.
Slipstream: Any idiot would know that. Starscream: I knew that! Slipstream: See?
Ramjet: Small creatures are much more vicious because they have a smaller body to bottle up all their emotions. Novastorm: Ridiculous. Give me some examples. Thrust: Wasps? Starscream: Terriers? Ramjet: Starscream.
Starscream: Hey, can you do me a favor? Sunstorm: Sorry, I have to go do literally anything other than this. Starscream: You don’t even have a legitimate reason? Sunstorm: Oh, no, I do. Starscream: Well, what is it? Sunstorm: You see, I simply don’t give a fuck.
Thrust: That sounds like a terrible plan. Thundercracker: Oh, we've had worse.
Blades: I CAN'T DO IT!
Streetwise, laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!
Blades: I CANT FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE
Bumblebee: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.
Blades:
Blades: I appreciate it,
Blades: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH-
Salvage: Blades-
Blades: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!
Groove: Blades we gotta-
Blades: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.
Blades: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'
Blades, motioning to Blur: NOT FUCKING THIS!
Can you do something for me, please?
I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship.
Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another.
Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
Wtf is wrong with people. This is not ok and will never be ok. Please reblog and share this post.
im begging anyone who sees this post to prevent rapesexual, im begging you. no one will see this but if you do reblog to get the message out that these fuckers exist and dont deserve to exist heres the flag so you can know who to fucking block, report and tell to fuck off
i dont want this to ruin the pride and help with self esteem of being lgbtq+ so a signal boost from larger accounts might be nice
