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!

do their tails wag when they're happy to see each other?
Of course! It'd be such a waste to have dog people with perfectly good tails and not have them reflect their emotions.
The way I see it, tail wagging is a lot like smiling or laughing, it's innate to the species, even babies know how to do it and it's meaning is the same across cultures. When it's genuine it happens instinctually, but if you really need to, you can try to force or supress it. Whether or not it's proper etiquette to wag your tail depends on the situation, it's a normal part of socialization between friends for example, but on formal surroundings you're expected to show modesty and have enough restraint to control your emotions.

‘The middle of starting over’ by Sabrina carpenter kind of reminds me of Krypton lives and Kara did not sign up for this
“Do you understand what I mean by that?” Kara asks, suspecting she should dread the answer but knowing she needs to be clear here. “That you belong to our house?”
“Our genetic material is Kal-El’s. Not our own,” Match replies, neutral and by rote. Thirteen’s mouth goes even tighter. 
“We’re not stupid,” he snaps at her, his fists clenching by his sides. 
Kara considers committing a war crime against a backwater planet. Just one war crime. 
“The insult of our continued existence will be tolerated as long as we prove useful to the House of El,” Match says, just as toneless and just as practiced as before. Like it’s something he’s said a thousand times, when he hasn’t even been alive long enough to say a thousand things. Something he just knows to be a foundational fact of life. 
. . . maybe two war crimes, Kara thinks, carefully packing up her seething fury before she can start shouting at the two people in this situation who deserve it the least. There’s two of Thirteen and Match, so that’s fair, isn’t it? Justifiable? 
“No,” she says very, very evenly. “It means you’re part of our family.” 
Thirteen flinches, and looks very briefly hurt before his jaw clenches. Then he just looks angry. Match’s expression is the most perfectly blank it’s been so far and doesn’t change at all. 
They’re very different, for how alike they look. She shouldn’t be surprised by that, but it’s . . . disorienting, a little. 
Mostly because they’re both so different from Kal, she thinks. Neither of them is a thing like him at all. Even at their “age”, he was nothing like either of them. She can’t even imagine how hard a time he must be having understanding them, when they’re both so wildly different from him in such different ways. 
But at Thirteen and Match’s “age”–at both of their ages, both the literal and physiological ones–Kal was an adored only child with a bright future and brilliant prospects and all of Uncle Jor and Aunt Lara’s morals and love instilled in him, not a pair of lab-built “weapons” who must’ve heard their existence called an “insult” somewhere. Who must’ve been told they were stupid time and time again; must’ve been told they weren’t worth anything more than being carriers of the DNA that’d been stolen to make them time and again. Must’ve been told they were possessions and things and at best slaves to–
Kara exhales, very slowly, and pulls the rice out of her pantry. 
“I’m making milk rice,” she informs them shortly. Milk rice sounds like something Earthling children’s palates should appreciate. Mostly children eat it here too, so it makes sense. “What kind do you want?” 
“Milk . . . what?” Thirteen wrinkles his nose in confusion. Has Kal even given these kids dessert before, Kara thinks, trying not to lose her mind. Was there any real information about food or fashion or culture in that “gesture of goodwill” information packet that he presented the Earthling governments with? Because judging by how they’re dressed and the dialects they’re using and the fact that they don’t even know milk rice . . . 
“Milk rice,” she repeats. “It’s a dessert. Milk and rice are involved. Usually it’s made with either bly fruit or katso sauce. Or spygin, but that’s mostly an Argo City thing.” 
Thirteen and Match both stare blankly at her for a moment before their eyes slide to each other instead. Thirteen’s jaw visibly tightens. Match’s eyes just barely narrow. 
“We don’t know what that is,” Thirteen says, glancing back to her warily. “The . . . ‘buh-lye fruit’ and ‘kasso sauce’. Or . . . ‘spy-geen’?” 
Right, Kara thinks, and doesn’t let herself sigh again. They’re going to get the wrong idea if she keeps doing that. 
“Bly fruit is sweet and katso sauce is savory,” she says, carefully enunciating the words without making it completely obvious that she’s correcting Thirteen’s pronunciation. “Spygin’s a spice. Kind of . . . sharp and smoky, I guess, but a little sweet too. It’s hard to describe. Goes good with milk-based things.” 
“. . . you’re asking us what flavor we want?” Match asks incredulously, like the idea’s somehow just occurred to him. 
Maybe three war crimes, Kara thinks. Lantern-level war crimes with a side of unfathomable solar superpowers. No one could blame her for just three, at this point.

DAY TWO of the DP Side Hoes Week 2024 VOTING form has hit with a bang, including more propaganda and over 100 new votes in the past day! Since yesterday's top ten, there have been some surprising upsets in the form. Our current Top Ten is as follows:
Nocturn 
Super Danny
Cujo
Dani
Wulf
Frostbite
Fun Danny
Jack Fenton (tied for 8 & 9)
Jazz Fenton (tied for 8 & 9)
Amorpho
As you can see from the list, Nocturn and Super Danny are still holding firm in the top two. Cujo has made a considerable bump in the polls, likely due in part to some pawpaganda from @axion-labs. Dani has also gone from 10th to 3rd overnight, replacing Amorpho who went from one of the early leads, to now teetering at 10th place. New to the Top 10 entirely are Fun Danny, Jazz Fenton, and Jack Fenton, the latter likely in part to some truly breathtaking propaganda from @schnuffel-danny.
The inclusion of Super Danny and now Fun Danny to the Top 10 has also begun to stir up some debate: should the "divisions" of Danny's main character—like Fun Danny, Super Danny, and the failed clones—be considered side characters for this poll? And, if both of them make it into the Top 7, should they be combined into one day?
Below 10th, we also have some other characters making headway such as Angela Foley, Dairy King, Dan, Dash Baxter, Ember McLain, Ghostwriter, Freakshow, Johnny 13, Maddie the Cat, and Sidney Poindexter. But rest assured, there are many other characters inching up just below them!
If you haven't also caught wind, I have picked up a new recruit to help mod this competitive event. Everyone say hello and raise your pitchforks to @stealingyourbones! May she reign with an iron fist.
That's all for Day 2. I will check back in for Day 3's updated Top Ten list!

Why would Superman want to impress Batman? He isn't dumb enough to want this... Initiative: keep Batman writers away from other superheroes. They always have to exalt their Batgod.

I was trying to figure something and went back to read the character identities. Now I can't tell if I'm just being dumb or I've just been awake for too many hours for my brain to work, so I'm just going to ask outright. Is Lea always AFAB? I just re-read through the info again but I can't tell if it's just me reading into it weirdly. Cause I had assumed by the "Lea is always trans" thing that F!Lea was AMAB but then I saw she took testosterone and now I doubt my ability to read.
yes, they are always AFAB. f!Lea is transmasculine & gender nonconforming. it's... complicated, hahaha.
if you are familiar with the way a lot of butches or just lesbians in general will refer to their gender identity as just "butch" or "lesbian," that is similar to how Lea identifies. obviously, she's not a lesbian, she's bisexual, but her gender identity is closely tied with her being gender nonconforming. she would not feel a connection to womanhood if she was forced to be feminine; she expresses it through her masculinity instead.
there are plenty of women that are gender nonconforming or butch that take testosterone and do still consider themselves cis & there are plenty of people that use butch & gnc as descriptors rather than identities; it's different from person to person. if Lea were real and lived in our modern world, she would not consider herself cis and she would most likely just call herself butch.

Just feeling some Y/N being the only one who can get Shattered Monty to be able to calm down outta his feral state
All I can imagine is Monty just tiredly crawling into an open Y/N's arms and letting out a sigh like a really tired dog finally taking a break after a long, exhausting day. Man just wants to rest. Please for the love of Fazbear, let the man rest.

alone, please, whimper
General Kara Zor-El's baby cousin went to a planet named Earth on a diplomatic outreach mission, found out Kryptonians have borderline unmatchable superpowers under the right environmental conditions, and got involuntarily cloned by some narcissistic asshole with a god complex.
Twice.
Also he got married to something called a "reporter" and didn't even invite any of the family to the wedding, the little brat. Uncle Jor and Aunt Lara were beside themselves. Of course Kal decided to wait until his thirties to have his rebellious phase.
And of course now General Kara Zor-El has two "teenage" boys that look exactly like Kal-El on her doorstep, and both of them look very unhappy to be here.
To be fair, if Kara had spent her entire incredibly short and incredibly unsafe life with very impressive superpowers and then gotten dumped on a planet where she didn't have access to most of them anymore, she'd also be less than thrilled. Apparently they're still a little telekinetic, but nowhere near as telekinetic as they'd be under a yellow sun.
The first one is Experiment Thirteen; the second one is Subject Match. Thirteen is a worse brat than Kal ever was and Match is somehow an even worse brat than that, which is quite a feat for a kid who explicitly thinks of himself as a weapon without free will. Thirteen, meanwhile, has too much free will and is determined to make it everyone else's problem.
And Kal, inexplicably, has decided to make them both Kara's problem while he argues with the Council about why they should be granted asylum and citizenship on Krypton. Apparently, the Earthlings who made them are not particularly fit guardians, and when hasn't Kal seen an injustice and thrown himself on it?
Which, speaking of injustices . . .
"Please tell me you two have actual names besides 'Thirteen' and 'Match'," she says with a sigh, eyeing the pair of them and the concerningly small bags they're both carrying. Kal had damn well better have shipped their actual luggage separate, if that's all they've got on them.
"No," Thirteen mutters stiffly, his jaw visibly tightening.
"We have project designations," Match informs her like he's delivering a mission report. "Names are unnecessary."
Kara wonders what superpowers she'd get if she went to this "Earth" to punch a few of the local Thinkers. Just as a mental exercise, that's all.
"Rao's sake," she says. "Kal didn't even give you any?"
Match looks irritated, and Thirteen's jaw goes very, very tight.
Dammit.
