NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

using generative ai for fanart and fanfiction is literally so vile. where the fuck is the joy of creation.

CARMEN SANDIEGO: TO STEAL OR NOT TO STEAL UPDATE

So, Carmen Sandiego’s To Steal or Not to Steal, along with almost all of Netflix’s Interactive specials, will be deleted from the streaming service come December 1st 2024. There's really no changing that, at least for now.

My friends and I had originally planned to archive TSONTS ourselves, but someone had kindly directed me towards this group called The Netflix Interactive Archive. These people are doing AMAZING work to preserve not only Carmen’s interactive special, but EVERY interactive special. These people have far more technical know-how than I could ever begin to understand for this topic.

As of now, they currently have archived every single interactive special in every single available language, and they are working on eventually releasing their archived versions for anyone to play! I’m confident when I say that Carmen Sandiego’s interactive is safe in their hands, so once they are able to release their archival of TSONTS I will definitely be posting about it. Subscribe to their youtube channel to keep tabs on the archive’s progress!

So the actual content of the interactives are as safe as they reasonably can be. But I’d like to talk about WHY Netflix is doing this, as I didn’t explain properly in my first post and many people were confused.

According to a Netflix spokesperson in an article with The Verge, “The [interactive special’s] technology served its purpose, but is now limiting as we focus on technological efforts in other areas.” This, of course, is total bull. There's no reason that keeping already existing content on your platform would limit the capabilities of future content. So what's the REAL reason? Corporate greed, of course! Deleting these interactives from the streaming site would save Netflix money.

Originally, I believed that cutting TSONTS from Netflix would allow them to claim the interactive as a loss and receive a tax break from it; this is what happened to Coyote vs. Acme, a fully-produced movie that Warner Brothers never released, and got an estimated $30 million dollar tax break on (source). While this might play a part in Netflix's decision to cut the interactives, I think that this situation is more alike to what happened to Infinity Train on HBO Max.

In 2022, many beloved animated TV shows, including the acclaimed Infinity Train, were removed from HBO Max. Infinity Train had no other legal home at the time, and now there are very few legal places to access the show. The show's creator, Owen Dennis, had this to say on the matter: "...It’s about saving money somehow. The consensus is that it has something to do with paying animators and artists the residuals that they’re owed for their work. Our pay is not complete without the ongoing residuals." (source).

HBO Max didn't want to pay Infinity Train workers the money they were owed, and now it's likely that Netflix doesn't want to pay Carmen Sandiego workers what they are owed. It doesn't matter to them if these interactives are important pieces of media that matter to many people, and it doesn't matter to them if their workers lose money that they need to survive. Ultimately, Netflix doesn't believe that these interactives are bringing in enough revenue to keep them on the streaming platform.

Right now, animation workers have few ways to protect themselves from these types of business decisions, but it doesn't have to stay this way forever! Right now, The Animation Guild is negotiating with the corporations to receive better pay, working conditions, and to help prevent the conditions that influence corporations to delete shows. You can help them by signing their petition, helping to convince corporations that animation matters! Sign the petition here!

Bites! When he kisses, when he cuddles, when you are both spending time together! He loves you so much mere regular kisses just won't do!

Teases. Dexter is a meanie. He never goes above small pranks or the occasional comment, but he likes making your brows furrow.

Includes your favorite color in his wardrobe. Mostly keeps it to a minimal accessory, but does sometimes match his undershirt if he’s feeling brave.

He is a gentleman! Pulls out seats, opens doors, and guides you around on an elbow whenever he can.

He’s a fan of warmer weather! His features bathed in sunlight paints him gorgeously.

Shows off his body whenever possible. He enjoys flexing his biceps and abs out of nowhere to fluster you.

Dexter knows multiple ways of how to ballroom dance! From Waltz to Tango, he has a way of making the world disappear while he’s spinning you in his arms.

He’s a dog person!

Wakes up early on purpose just to admire you. It’s common for you to awaken to him dreamily looking at you.

Hides his face in the crook of your neck. Litters the area with kisses to make you giggle.

What if… they were friends.

Sorry I’ve been so obsessed with the small interactions they have- Carmen is like one of the few characters who understood Mime Bomb and went along with his bits 😭 they would’ve been such fun friends turned to a petty hatred when she escapes V.I.L.E.
