Inside Job didn’t just get canceled.
It had its first season split in two, a tactic animators said was used for Cuphead to let them pay staff less. Then, the show was renewed for a real second season.
And then the show was canceled before that second season anyway.
Final Space didn’t just get canceled on the most depressing cliffhanger ever. It was removed from all platforms before becoming a tax write-off, essentially meaning the only ways of really watching the show is through DVD or pirating.
The Owl House wasn’t just given a shortened third season. Disney, a company already known for a, let’s say, complicated relationship with its LGBT+ history, took a show created by a bisexual woman, filled with beloved LGBT+ characters, some of which were teenagers just like the audience, and told said creator to destroy her shows pacing so she could finish her story in just 3 45 minute specials.
I can go on about how Hollywood and television don’t respect animation and the like but this is endemic of a larger problem:
Capitalism destroys art.
The constant need for shows to be either the biggest thing in history or a complete failure, the constant need for a cash cow, leads to any show that doesn’t immediately become Squid Game or Stranger Things levels of popular, especially animated shows, getting scrapped for no reason other then it doesn’t make them enough money.
In our hyper capitalist hellscape, I worry we’re going to see more Inside Jobs, Final Spaces, and Owl Houses: shows made with love, that showcase potential, and dedicated fanbases, having a renewal reversed, or becoming a tax write off, or having its story rushed, so that the executives can save a few cents, while also fucking over employees.
I think that’s the part that always needs to be remembered too; the people behind these shows. Not just the creators or voice actors or well known animators, but everybody. As NewDeal4Animation illustrated, staffs on these shows are often underpaid and overworked. And to then, to not just lose a show you spent months, years of your life on out of nowhere, but to essentially lose a job… it’s terrifying. And every staff member, from the creators to the unpaid interns, deserves better.
So yea. That’s just my thoughts on the matter I guess.

Sometimes love is being the one who wrestles the sick dog and holds her mouth shut and rubs her throat to make her swallow the pill she desperately needs in order to feel better so that your wife doesn't have to fight her beloved baby. Sometimes love is being Mean Mommy so your wife can be Comforting Daddy to her dog.
This fucking blows and I hate it so much. I hate being the grown-up. I hate being the one who does the shitty things so that other people don't have to do it. I hate that she's sick. I hate that dogs die. That should be illegal. Dogs should be immortal.
I hate that I have to be the one who begs people to help us. I hate having to do that at all. I hate asking for help because I hate bothering people with my needs. I should be able to do all of this myself, after all, and if i can't then i have failed at adult. It's easy to tell other people that it's okay and their community wants to help. It still feels wrong to ask people to help me. I'm just some asshole and she's just some fucking dog.
I'm so tired and sad and there are big issues that I have to resolve at work and I'm not giving them my full attention. We have to basically rebuild about half the website because of GPDR upgrades at one of our suppliers and Jake and Roman have been incredible but aaaaaaaaa. I should be fixing that right now and not crying on the internet.
Fuck.

oh no. THIS was the real pride and prejudice rejection scene. literally: "forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time". darcy constantly looking at lizzie's lips and wanting to kiss her vs crowley actually doing it. crowley's pride and aziraphale's prejudice. "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." = crowley's confession. "we could've been an "us"". "If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever." = the bandstand rejection vs the bookshop rejection. "She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet" = aziraphale looking back at crowley before stepping into the lift. "i love you, most ardently" "we can go off together, just be us, you and me". '"My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” Elizabeth’s astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured, doubted, and was silent.' = aziraphale being literally rendered speechless after the kiss. i just.

Sometimes I think about the insanity of being trans and trying to keep your head above water while people are spewing hateful rhetoric and saying the worst thing about you through broad stroke statements that are completely insane, but we're also supposed to do all the other crazy adult stuff like have a full time job and drive cars and do taxes and pay rent and buy groceries and find time to make food but also have hobbies but also be a good friend and a good partner????
The rest of that is complicated enough without the extra layer of difficulty and then there's the whole *gestures to all the international problems and climate problems* and it's just like... what the fuck
And you know what? Despite all the effort I might put into having a thicker skin about it all, I'm still completely justified in saying that it hurts! It's upsetting and I feel angry about it! Do you have any idea how often I've been on edge out in public just because there are families around and I'm afraid some asshole is going to get violent and accuse me of trying to trans their kids just by *being visibly trans in a public space*??? I've been catcalled as a joke and didn't manage to walk away fast enough to not hear the insults, I had some random dude call my a faggot from his noisy truck at night while I was on vacation walking with my partner, had a lady at the airport try to report me to security for urgently having to piss and looking for a restroom that wasn't busy, and it all sucked! And I feel like I don't even have any right to complain because I know people have had it way worse!
And yet every fucking day I go on in this existence because the alternative is knowing that the world beat me back down into a version of myself that I had buried and left in the past, just as I had finally found some happiness in myself and who I am. But no, tell me how this is all a phase or a fad or how I'm doing this just for access to the gross-ass women's public restrooms or how I'm going to suddenly get into women's sports at the ripe age of 29 or how I have some fucking agenda that goes beyond just being a person who LIKES HERSELF.

I love being one of the only people still wearing a mask at school. At home. I caught it in February of this year. "That just proves masks don't work that well," my mother says. Perhaps, but perhaps it's the dozens upon dozens of people around me who don't wear masks in a building with no ventilation because of the cold? One can only wonder.

Being a fictive is bullshit.
There's exactly 1 person I give a fuck about, and she's neither in my system nor in any other.
Rather keep playing the deadly games than this thanks.

I’ll never understand how someone can have people around them and still feel so lonely? Realistically I know it’s all in my head but I can’t get out of it
