MY CATS CUDDLE-PILED ON ME AND OPENED NINE HUNDRED NOTEPADS

Filipinos animators didn't endure the harsh overwork, tight deadlines and be paid in pennies for so many decades just to be slandered for finally having LEAD Filipino characters that actually delves into our culture and mythology - a Filipino who was in the animation industry

【📢】 VTube Studio 1.34.0 is now released!! This update adds ArtMesh/Layer Groups 🌈📝 and native controller support 🎮✨!! 🧵👇

In the Filipino language of Tagalog, a phrase for leaving something up to fate is ‘to leave it all to Batman’.

If you're Filipino, spend money in the Philippines as much as possible. Support Filipino artists, Philippine tourism, small businesses, venues, restaurants and bars, craftsmen and trades. Even if the war ends soon, the economic effects will linger for years.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And yes... it's inspired by The Amazing World of Gumball and those Old Cartoon Network commercials. If you find the game interesting, Wishlist it now on Steam! 🫶 #indiegames #indiegaming #cozygames #adventuregames

Good Read! I've had convo with someone from the local animation studio how they're being outsourced by Studio trigger etc. and said the problem for PH is we don't have content to animate. 👉👈 So, support your local comic artists. 😂🫵 Make original content.

notice how they didn't bring the jeep with them to the forgotten island this is indicative of the rising gas prices in the philippines

Something that comes up a lot in EN indie vs. JP corpo VTuber discussions is that JP corpo VTubers have more lasting "star power" - and the claim is that it's because they're better at inhabiting, and staying in, constructed personas. Strict kayfabe, character over performer, the whole thing. I think the construction is probably working the other way. Agencies pick people who already fit, then tweak the character to match. Find the person that suits the coat, then tailor it to fit them even better. Indies often take the inverse approach: picking aspirational personas rather than inhabitable ones, then constantly bleeding IRL into the character because the gap between the two is just too wide to maintain. My pilot avatar is a good example of what the first approach looks like from the inside, and something I find interesting is that nobody ever asks me why I chose to be a pilot. It's always how come I'm a pilot. A focus on the decision, not the reasoning behind it. Which, to me, signals that it reads as self-evident. When a plane lands, it's the pilots that make the landing announcement; not the flight attendants. They're the ones in control, the ones making the decisions, communicating in that calm clipped tone that everything's fine. The reassurance lands because it's coming from the right person. That calm clipped tone is how my chat described me back when I had no avatar, streaming art on Picarto with a Persona 4-themed layout. "Radio voice," they said. So I leaned into it. It never felt wrong. Not once. A persona isn't a coat you grow into. It's one you find on the rack at a thrift store - and when you put it on, it fits like it's been yours your whole life. Mine was handed to me by my viewers. And it still fits today. #CariCodes

“there’s so much filipino rep compared to other SEA rep” It’s not a contest???? You don’t have to pull us down to uplift others. This isn’t even true. There may be more Filipino rep now versus before, but we’ve still got a long way to go here.

I don’t know which VTuber needs to hear this, but… There’s nothing wrong with doing things on your own!!! It’s okay to have a small circle of friends! It’s okay to not force yourself to join every collab offer out of FOMO or for ‘Networking’ purposes. You don’t need to sign up for everything ‘Just in case’ it could help with growth!! Focus on you and your own content, don’t feel guilty to not be someones background character! Real friends will understand you can not join every collab event, they also will not ask you to overexert yourself to be there at odd times if they care about you.

This is going to be negative and I’m sorry in advance but: voiceover is not accessible yet and it really has the tools to be. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and can feel so hopeless. There are paths forward but there has to be so much noise to get there. More noise. Be loud.

Love how they included anik anik culture in the movie. Some people see collecting trinkets and things as a waste in general. But in the movie it seems like their bracelet full of aniks will be integral part bc it holds sm memories bc anik anik is all about the sentiments

why are there so many filipinos in animation? i'm so glad (no one) asked! im an animation major hoping to step into the filipino animation industry after graduating this year, and heres the basics of what i learned 🧵

instead of "oh filipinos have too much rep, theyre so greedy," why dont we try "filipinos have this amazing opportunity to showcase their culture in an animated setting on an international level! we will use this as inspiration to push our animation presence to that level too!"

the philippines has a HUGE animation industry, and yet when it comes to local works, we're nothing like giants like america, france, or out east asian neighbors. so why havent we seen animated projects to the levels and acclaim of disney or ghibli?
