トビ 🏳️‍⚧️- indie animation is hardddd

Reposting to boost and 📌 Guess who’s one of the main writers for this series? Also: you have NO IDEA how much WORK is involved with indie stuff until you are up to your eyebrows in things that make it feel like zero progress is actually being done bc it’s business stuff 😭

@kittikatrei Oh and fuck Lights Out in particular because it makes ladies bug my motorcycle. I have on multiple occasions walked out of the bookstore with literal knitting magazines and goddamn BL in hand to find these bitches nearly breaking my mirrors. And then they get mad I tell them stop

@kittikatrei They are so horribly written I also womder if they were made using AI at times… like not all of the book but heavy heavy use of AI as a “help”. They also get basically spammed out too…

I don’t hate booktok because it’s dark and taboo, I hate it because it’s STRAIGHT and CORNY.

@LurkAtHomeMom Red delicious apples are not apples they are nature-growm floral foam. Y’know, that gritty green stuff in flower arrangements. Thats what the texture and probably the flavor is. Just get like… Gala or Honeycrisp or something. RD even suck for applesauce…

Whoever named Red Delicious apples was off their meds that day.

@ReviewsPossum Also I noticed a trend where it is super easy to get hired if you just have at least a year logged at most of your recent jobs. I have several I worked a minimum 9 months. I know people who never worked before OR who only worked 3 month seasonal/summer jobs who are struggling now

Because they figure you're just going to quit after a few months when you find a better job, and all of the time they spent training you will be wasted.

@heros_1101 … dude it’s probably one of the tamest BL out there. Have any of these people read BL before? And its fiction. So not real. Tourists being a pain I’m guessing is the main problem, but… BL has always been more fantasy than reality. And usually smut. So Ganbare is super chill.

春泥先生からご伝言を頂きました。 下記がご伝言の内容になります。 「TVアニメーション『ガンバレ！中村くん！！』第５話にて、教師と生徒が個人的に連絡先を交換する演出がなされておりますが、 あくまでBLとしての匂わせ表現以上の意味は持たず、作者やアニメ制作陣は、教師と生徒が個人的に連絡先を交換することを推奨しておりません。 『乙切と広瀬の距離を近づけすぎず、あくまで教師と生徒の関係であることを意識して描写してほしいこと、 女子生徒や女性キャラを性的搾取するような描写を避けてほしいこと、 原作にある下品な描写はアニメではなるべく描かず、誰でも見れる表現に修正してほしいこと』などをお願いしたのは作者です。 そして、その想いを守ってくださったのは制作チームの皆さんです。 また、作者は過去に、BLというジャンルにおいて、年齢差の開いたカップリングや教員と生徒といった大人と未成年のカップリング作品をいくつか作ってきましたが、 昨今の大人の未成年に対する凄惨な犯罪の多さを鑑み、今後はそれを題材にすることはありません。 何とぞご了承賜れますようお願いいたします。 そして、既に原作をお読みになり、ご不快になられた方がいらっしゃいましたら、誠に申し訳ありませんでした。」

@facetedcarapace @okeirany Yeah the whole ass country got built around cars so we don’t really have the option, especially when 95% of th country has zero public transit. It sucks.

are you under the impression that's something we can simply opt into having

@BarbellFi Gen Z flat out started graduating college around when the pandemic hit. And no one wants to hire us bc the younger gen z are more like gen alpha and we don’t have a lot of job experience because we graduated into the pandemic. Oh and they assume we’re at most 22. Genz starts 1998

The life of a millennial: - Graduated into the Great Recession - Entry level jobs required 3 years experience - Pensions replaced by the 401k - Promoted at work meant a 2% raise & 200% more responsibility - Felt stability in life then a pandemic - Highest inflation in 50 years deleted pay raises - Home prices doubled overnight forcing permanent renters - Childcare costs 1 month of rent - Juggling aging parents, young kids, burnout from work & the cost to live - AI causing mass layoffs during peak earning years

- Crunchyroll launched in 2006 as a pirate anime streaming site - After a $4M investment in 2009, they went legal and abandoned the fansubbers who built them, no credit, no compensation - Crunchyroll betrayed fansubbed - Fansubs gave you karaoke OP/ED lyrics, translator notes, colored dialogue per character, and honorifics, none of which Crunchyroll has ever consistently offered - Crunchyroll shut down its Games division in 2024, quietly killing it with little notice to users who had invested time in it - Crunchyroll manga service was shut down in 2016, then relaunched recently, but folded into the subscription fee with a limited catalog - Sony bought Crunchyroll for $1.175 billion in 2021 - Crunchyroll has raised subscription prices multiple times since the Sony acquisition, while delivering less - Crunchyroll acquired Funimation in 2022 and shut it down in April 2024, eliminating the last major competitor - Crunchyroll actively fights anime piracy - Disabled comments section on all anime under episodes and news posts in July 2024 - Crunchyroll streams censored TV broadcast versions of anime, but piracy is an uncensored anime scene - Crunchyroll denied switching to OOONA when asked by Anime News Network, refusing to confirm whether they'd used Aegisub, despite multiple staff leaks confirming the change - Crunchyroll subtitles typesetting was gutted/downgraded - Crunchyroll used AI translation a German subtitle (ChatGPT said: Wenn ich die Welt von hier an weiter genießen kann) - Crunchyroll raised subscription tiers again by $2 in February 2026 - Crunchyroll stayed silent, made no public disclosure, as data was breached on March 12, 2026

@_bIurryface It gives “i am a kid who’s mommy is trying to not say I have a disability” and not “I’m an adult with a disability and thats okay” like I think they were going for. Like lets be so for real here, most of the terms used for autism especially are extremely infantilizing and vauge

That is why when I see "proshipper dni" I automatically judge them as illiterate and don't even waste energy, block instantly. They don't even know what it means.

Yes. Fandom WAS toxic pre 2020. I was there. Gamer Gate, ship wars, gatekeeping, squabbling and a LOT of mess and noise. Post-COVID, it IS different. Because before, it was infighting. Now, it’s people looking down at even common fandom activities as aberrant behavior.

@m_takewaka Different states have different styles of rub/sauce and smoking and stuff so an eternal friendly feud over who has the best bbq has been going on for ages That being said… texas has all of y’all beat, I’ve had bbq from like 17 other states and texas is my personal fave.

My American friends, I'm facing a major problem here. When I say I want to eat American BBQ, some Americans say, "come to Texas," others say, "come to South Carolina," and still others say, "come to Missouri." I'm confused. Are you guys going to start a BBQ civil war?

@Iamivy05 + To elaborate: Autistic asults aren’t told about any changes in autism-relted terms, ie levels. We stumble into thise changes. And my personal preference for saying “hyper-intrest” over “special intrest” is not only an example of clarity being made but also not infantilizing us.

@Iamivy05 Id also like to raise attention to how the seemingly purposefully near-infantilizing way people label and discuss symptoms may be fine for children, but as adults it adds yet another barrier to us being taken seriously. I have particular beef with “special interest”. Im not 4. +

AUTISM IS “FUN AND QUIRKY' UNTIL WE SHOW SIGNS OF AUTISM SELF DESTRUCTION, OBSESSION, REPETITIVE BEHAVIOUR, COMMUNICATION ISSUES, ADDICTIONS, CONFUSION AND DISORIENTATION ECT.

@jeff_of_norwich Two weeks off…? Oh you sweet summer child, no no no. We get PTO and Sick Days, not actual vacation. And you are made to feel bad if you take those days. Even if its to go to the doctor. Im not joking.

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year That's bloody criminal You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

@Alpaca_Capital And on top of that, if you ARE interested in applying… you need certs. And they won’t train you for those certs. So you gotta hunt down like the singular guy around who trains ppl, and he will mock you for not knowing trade-specific stuff when you walk in the door to ask…

How much does it pay? Genuinely asking. My experience from the US (where I grew up) is people pound the table about skills shortages and when you ask what they’re paying, it’s equivalent to working at Walmart in a no-skill job.

I see a lot of people saying they’ll have to recast the crew for the full LAOP series based on the rumored 12 seasons Guys Guys there’s a LEGIT EXCUSE TO KEEP THEM! *sailing takes AGES* Just… normal-ish sail times…? And also people don’t just. Slam into granny mode, y’know

@de3dsoul @Fenrirtheicewo1 My first phone was this thing called a “firefly” that had exactly 4 pre-loaded phone numbers (parents, grandparents) and an emergency services button. It came with tamagotchi stickers and a little matching wristlet. This was like… geeze that was literally 20 years ago…

@camilikha @luoreos I think it stems from a lot of younger people reading danmei and - i am not ashamed to throw it under the bus - the DOGSHIT US education system not bothering to actually teach what terms like unreliable narrator actually mean. I have beef. I’m an english major i have BEEF-!

Bringing this back again because people still think that the narrator in TGCF is Xie Lian. No, it's not narrated solely in just his point of view. And no, Xie Lian is not an unreliable narrator. Do people actually know how "unreliable narrator" as a literary device works?
