a development team that looks like this could not possibly have any preconceived biases against Black people. noooo way. its just a mistake that all of the Black people in fo4 are slaves or named after fascist colonizers or murdered or stereotypical conspiracy freaks. there is no way that the reality of this team is reflected in the art they create over and over and over and over and over and over and

hi!!!! there been news articles saying that the working conditions of spiderverse were rlly rlly bad to the point of 100 ppl quitting or someting…. sorry to be liek an annoying reporter and b kinda invasive but is this tru D:
the big article that came out, for anyone curious: https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/spider-verse-animation-four-artists-on-making-the-sequel.html
there are some aspects about the article that i don't feel comfortable commenting on, but yes a lot of animators did quit. a lot of it had to do with the issues mentioned in the article, but a lot also left because disney opened a studio in vancouver (where sony imageworks is located) and had to hire an entire crew. i don't blame people for leaving spiderverse to get in on being a part of establishing the disney vancouver studio
i will also say that some of the information going around is incorrect; we did not work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a year. working 7 days a week is illegal, and though some people worked sundays, they were clearly told that they could not work the next saturday if they worked a sunday. we encouraged people to not work ghost hours, and OT was always optional (except for saturday work towards the end, but nobody was punished or anything if they couldn't work a saturday). we also get paid for OT. i was on the movie for over a year but we certainly weren't crunching that whole time. like the article said, we were idle for a long time
it was undeniably a hard movie to work on and with such a large crew, everyone had a wide variety of experiences. the anonymous animators in the article aren't wrong, but i will say that there are people that felt differently, or not as strongly as them. it's a complicated issue that doesn't have a simple solution
i just hope this doesn't tarnish your view of the movie. we worked hard on it and everyone's immense celebration of the animation is making all that hard work very worth it!

I think I am going to match you up with… Mitsunari from Ikesen.
I think Mitsunari would be really drawn to your dedication to your work, being quite dedicated with his own work himself. You seem like a really nice and approachable person like he is, so I think he would feel very comfortable being around you. He would also probably volunteer to help you with many projects as well, being the cinnamon-roll that he is. I feel like you two may be very similar, so he would fall for you due to you two getting along well.
Oh to get to be with Mitsubun and do nothing but read/write all day *dreamy sigh* and purple is my favorite color so there's that lol. I do think that I might potentially be a bit more of a jerk sometimes than that sweet angel deserves though -alas I have my moments and get frustrated so easily at times- but given that he adores Ieyasu even though he can be straight up mean to him...maybe he could handle me and my mood swings well haha.
And thank you for all of the kind words of course :)

The "Kata goes to college but also knows force and nightsister magic" is very funny, cause I can just imagine it being a normal day in class and then Kata uses the force or some nightsister magic and all her classmates are like 0-0
you KNOW she hid it super well for the first two years then a solid 12 minutes after the empire falls some imperial remnant tries to take her uni or smthn hostage (she's a merrical-akuna kid, trouble will find her) and she deals with it singlehandedly but it's like:
Other students: holy shit was that the force?!?!
Kata, about to do the worst Jedi mind trick in history: No it was not

I think the reason I love Horn so much is because she appears to be this paragon of virtue and selflessness and beauty. But on closer inspection she’s almost totally lost it and she’s willing to do some pretty horrendous shit up to and including torture and her entire sense of self has dissolved into making sure her comrades didn’t die in vain to the point I don’t think she quite knows what she’s fighting for anymore. She was supposed to be Victoria’s champion and Victoria chewed her up til there was barely anything left. Woman whose gaze is absolutely fucking haunted.
