Mappa growing on the back of a (censored)queer show that had global reach, then rebranding itself as a shounen studio, keeping the intellectual property for 8 years, then cancelling it after a lot of baiting and promising, is certainly a way of doing things. They really said fuck your pink money lmao

Btw I suspect Mappa isn't telling us something in relation to Ice Adolescence's cancellation. JJK 0 was made in four months -which is an absolutely ridiculous and inexcusable crunch for the creators working on it- if they wanted the movie done it would've been done years ago instead of delay after delay then eventual cancellation. Something is fishy

On some level I feel silly for being so devastated by Ice Adolescence’s cancellation, what with the world a literal dumpster fire. But Yuri on Ice meant so much to so many. Representation. Beauty. Escape. Overcoming our image of ourselves. Love in its multiple forms.
And I think my partner said it best after watching YOI for the first time-
“I wish the world were more like that.”

if those leaks about ice adolescence are true and the movie really made it all the way to post-production before being completely scrapped then i hope someone sends the entire movie in its post-production state to the lost media wiki, i hope it becomes verifiable public knowledge that mappa cancelled a movie that was damn near finished and in the final stages of editing, and i hope the fact that they let people put that much work into it for no reason when they're already known to be an awful studio to work with and then strung fans along for years about it becomes a controversy that they can never escape from. i hate this so much.
edit: i should've shown the leak i was referring to in my original post, but since i didn't think to do so, i've clarified further in a reblog here! take this with a grain of salt as it is technically an unverified rumor, but this is horrible of MAPPA--a studio already notorious for mistreating and overworking their animators--if they truly did abandon the yuri on ice movie so far into the production process.

Much like Welcome to Nightvale, I feel like a lot of people have forgotten just how big and influential Yuri on Ice was. It fully broke into the mainstream. It was everywhere. Evgenia Medvedeva, the top female figure skater in 2016 and 2017, had YOI plushies thrown to her on the ice and wore a Victuuri tshirt to an interview. Japanese pair skaters Miu Suzaki and Ryuichi Kihara skated to the YOI theme at the fucking Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics. The Olympics. Canadian ice dancer Joseph Johnson did the ‘J.J. Style’ hand symbol in the kiss and cry. Johnny Weir made me cry by talking about how he wished the homophobic world of figure skating he experienced could have been more like the kinder world of Yuri on Ice.
There were cameos and references to it everywhere. Everyone was talking about it. People who had never watched anime were watching it. It was so big it crashed Crunchyroll and Tumblr. Twice. And all that for what was at its core, a queer love story that helped pave the way for more queer stories to come.

this animatic is way too underrated - everyone needs to watch it asap!!

Good for you | Hazbin Hotel animatic by Kalopaaa
It's an Alastor-centric animatic in which he's confronted by the people he used to be close to – Mimzy, Rosie and Vox – all of which bitterly congratulate him for his new life and his new "friends". Alastor looks like he wants to explain himself and deny some of the accusations but he can't take back his hurtful words/actions (7 years absence) and he "can't erase what [he] wrote in ink" :3

Went to see Hozier at Lollapalooza yesterday and I had the best time ever!
I wish he had sung De Selby part 1, Nina Cried Power or All Things End though, I really wanted to either scream in Gaeilge or be part of the little choirs in Nina and All Things :(
On the bright side, maybe now that Hozier has seen how many people went to see him at the festival he'll come back for a solo jig! That would be so awesome honestly, Unreal Unearth Latam tour would be a dream
