Is Dan's real name Danny or Daniel?

I'm not sure. The only thing I know for sure is that he won't stop loitering outside my office!!!

(btw I like the "tiny dan" in the reflection of the glass)

This is my latest figure print of Cricket Green That I made! It now lives in a display window that everyone can see! No one has stolen it yet, so they must hate it! Thanks to the Show Runners and Disney for giving me permission to make this! I made this in ZBrush and Lightwave. I transferred it to Blender where it was rigged and I even used the 3D Print plugin to make it Manifold. Funny! They used to call that watertight. Oh the newspeak! Anyway, this was sliced using Bambu Studio and got printed on a Bambu P1S.

I strongly believe Cricket has ADHD, Tilly is autistic and both Bill and Remy have anxiety. You can disagree but the show has a lot of diversity so I think this might have been intentional.

Book 290

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick - Portfolio Edition

Chris Van Allsburg

Houghton Mifflin Company 1996

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is one of my favorite children’s books, although I think it’s probably best described as a book for all ages. The portfolio edition includes the original 14 illustrations from the book, plus an additional 15th drawing, in loose sheets enclosed in a cardboard folio. Each print measures 12”x16”. While a bit cumbersome, the portfolio edition is a fantastic way to experience this most creatively inspirational book.

I like how at this point, we have to specify and properly tag anything with the name "Bill".

I mean the most popular one of course is Bill Cipher.

Obviously there's a lot more like Bill Nye the science guy, Bill Murray, Bill Gates, Bill Green from the Disney Cartoon Big City Greens, and so on.

I just thought about this because I just ran into an Owl House post and of the tags was "Bill ToH" which also had a picture of the lad.

Like can we stop with the Bills already?

There's too many.

Also I'm pretty sure Dana and the crew purposely gave this character the name Bill to just send a shiver down our spines because we often associate it with Bill Cipher.

This One Song… Rubber Oh on Hyperdrive Fantasy

This One Song… Rubber Oh on Hyperdrive Fantasy

Tell you what – we love hearing from artists when things go right. We equally love hearing from artists when things go dreadfully wrong. A song that was a piece of piss, written in 20 minutes? Or years in the making and a bastard to write? Whether it’s a song that came together through great duress or one that was smashed out in a short amount of time, we’re getting the lowdown from some of our…

What was your first reaction when you found out that Big City Greens/Harvey Beaks/Jellystone! alumnis and creators of those shows will lead the Disney Channel Animation lineup after 10 years of serialized shows by Gravity Falls alumnis?

When i knew about those shows on development on early 2021 and my reaction was these.

Super happy for @chgreenblatt and his Harvey Beaks alumnis to pave the way of Disney TVA at Disney Channel on the 2020s as a rare case of animation snowball effect after HB was canceled at Nickelodeon.

The guy and his crew deserved it and i hope his and their alumnis shows from HB/BCG & JS! people get a greenlight PR this year and that one of them becomes the 100-Disney TVA show to air on 2024 as part of their 40 Anniversary.

SEASON FOUR-- COMING SOON TO A DISNEY CHANNEL NEAR YOU!! Can't wait to share it with yall...

Okay, don't you think you're being harsh to think Dana Terrace is incapable of creating anything good and dreading it when she creates something? Like, the idea Owl House never should have existed (based on what that one anon said) is way too harsh and insulting to Dana.

Like come on, Dana's a pretty nice person. Heck, a lot of the people and creators who work at Disney TVA like Alex Hirsch, Matt Braly, Frank Angones, Matt Youngberg, Daron Nefcy, Chris Houghton, and Shane Houghton have nothing but nice things to say about her. Ditto with the rest of the Owl House cast and crew (a ship is more than its captain after all) being saying nothing but nice things about Dana.

And it's not like Dana's the only Disney TVA creator who has caused people to go against Disney. Alex Hirsch has badmouthed Disney several times (even making a Twitter post on how much Disney meddled with Gravity Falls), Matt Braly was frustrated with the last minute True Colors delay and expressed frustration with them here ( https://twitter.com/Radrappy/status/1746706435080323397), and Bill Motz has made comments on how Disney treated Molly McGee that worsened the opinion of how Disney treats their animated shows.

So I had considered saying that the ask did go a bit far in how angry it was at Dana. I mentioned that being unprofessional does not make you a bad person. Some of the actions are frustrating to me but I am not trying to say Dana is wrong for having made a product in such a flawed way. I am at least trying not judging her as a person, just as a creative. I also don't think TOH simply shouldn't have existed. It had plenty of good ideas but at the end of the day, its captain should be the one who is in charge of those ideas and making sure that they're focused on telling the story and staying consistent. Dana wrote Reaching Out, one of the episodes of the show that most destroys both character potential and the believability of the world. It's also not by any means the only episode with a main writing credit for her like that, such as The First Day. As a writer, I genuinely just don't get the impression she has the attention span to be leading such a large project, especially if she is going to complain about not having full control over it while also lacking more concrete ideas to what it is. When I say I am not interested in the next work Dana is the director for, I just mean director because these flaws in her style make me think that unless it's an anthology series, anything she makes is going to have me get frustrated by the work over time.

NOW as for the stuff about her being unprofessional: Time and context is HUGE here. Matt getting upset about True Colors leaks? The COMPANY is also going to be upset by them and while it might berate Disney for lack of security, it is a genuine fuck up on their part to do with his show and him lambasting the leaks also pushes the audience not to spread them. There's nothing unprofessional about that nor that might harm the show. Alex Hirsch released that video about the censor board for Disney on Gravity Falls YEARS after the fact (this also goes for the tweet that you quote from Matt which is literally two weeks ago, well over a year past when Amphibia ended). The show was already a success and a video like that might make Disney look a little silly but it won't harm how people see the product or trying to get into it. In fact, with the current state of things, it might actually be seen as a PR bump.

Meanwhile, Dana was shit talking her own show and blaming it on the company she CHOSE to work with regarding literally half of the content that was out at the time. Worse yet, the first half. The half that theoretically needs to sell you on the show. What is a new viewer supposed to think of that if they haven't seen the show? "Well, even if it gets good, even the creator admits the first half is at least underwhelming. I don't want to have to put up with half a season of subpar work just to get to the good stuff."

And as I said with Hirsch: How people feel about Disney, and how clearly Disney actually does want the rep in TOH to be a selling point for them (they immediately were willing to do Lumity marathons or have them featured on Disney+ for Pride Month, as well as Lumity being the only t-shirt released by Disney that wasn't of just The Owl House members or the logo), means that Dana getting upset about them for the homophobic acts in Florida probably was seen as at worst neutral. Buuuuut that shifts when she starts trying to accuse the treatment of their programming onto their homophobic ideas because suddenly part of the company's selling point on the show is being actively damaged by the creator. Worse yet, she is doing it as speculation rather than sticking to the reasons given by Disney. Feeding into people's anger about the company while eschewing responsibility for why the show was shortened like it was. This is admittedly less of a strong argument, I do still support her lambasting their homophobic politics, but it's a moment that has stuck with me for something I'll get into later.

This is also without getting into the fact that one interview with her specifically mentions her first response to the shortening being to end S2 on a massive cliffhanger and then just GTFOing on them, a statement that is going to make ANY production company start sweating about you as a creative they want to work with. After all, the crew and other creatives may love Dana... But what do actually publishers and people she has to clear this stuff with think of her? You know, the people who decide funding on these matters because that is just a part of the majority of animated work currently unless you somehow manage to get enough patrons to be able to go independent like Vivziepop with Helluva Boss.

All of this also gives the impression of someone who would rather blame other forces than learn. Honestly, one of the best things I've heard her say is that the shortening did push her creatively. Force her to make decisions and try harder. That gives me hope... But she spent so much of TOH complaining about corporate oversight or riling up her fans against the company who shortened her that... I don't know if she'll take that to heart. If she's going to treat this as a learning experience or if she'll double down. Again, one of the biggest regrets she has is not getting to do more Raeda, despite their one episode already being almost entirely pointless.

Even if she is a wonderful person, from a publisher's standpoint, she seems like a high risk gamble for honestly that incredible of numbers. Someone who might turn on you if you ever force a decision she doesn't like or push her too hard. That's not something a big corporation is going to want. It makes it sound a lot more like she's someone who indeed should just go independent if she really found working for Disney so rough.

I would love to be wrong though. I would love for her next work to be a knock out of the park. I just know that I'm probably going to pick it up AFTER it's done and I know it actually knew where it was going instead of just scrambling to put the tracks in front of it.

======+++++======

I will probably try just not to talk more about Dana as a creative because I REALLY don't like talking about the creators themselves instead of just judging the quality of their work. I genuinely wish Dana the best but... Man, after I've had so many people dismiss everything I've ever said about this show because of the shortening, or because Disney was too restrictive on LGBTQIA+ elements or because they forced Hexside onto Dana, ruining her plans, excuses Dana has herself pushed for the fans to use by using them herself...

It made learning just how little of any sort of plan she ever had so exhausting and infuriating, amplified by just how much this fandom screeches about TOH's unfair treatment when I don't see any of them going to bat for Molly McGee right now the same way. Not in my corners at least. Edit: I have been corrected that people are pretty mad for Molly McGee which good. They should be.
