Welcome home theories about Eddie, etc.

So interesting that our glimpse into "sentience" from the last update was Howdy naming off the reality of Sally's order, but he didn't seem at all distraught. Now Eddie's dealing with stress - questioning his entire purpose - and is literally dissociating between an animated and physical reality??? He is not okay???

Did Howdy go through this before, did he get "corrected" by Home in a similar manner? Or at the time of Homewarming, was Howdy not yet aware? Maybe they're not in chronological order?

Frank also breaks character from "Mr. Dear" to just "Eddie" when he doesn't get a response. His tone is different, voice lighter and frantic. I know the whole Julie/Frank bit must be a red herring because it's the Website's perspective, but I REALLY want to know how these characters exist "off camera."

What is their reality when we're not watching it??

ALSO WHY WAS THE HOT DOG EXPLODED-

I'm sick of being called a "consumer."

There's a scene in the beginning of It where the clown keeps trying to convince the boy to take the paper boat from him. When the boy takes the bait he gets grabbed. I'm that kid and I have no choice but to take the dumb paper boat from these clown ass companies who call me a "consumer." The word 'consumer' sounds like I'm eating their product. I'm using it up all at once the way a fire consumes something. They only need me to take it. They don't care about building a relationship with me as a customer. They don't take pride in providing a product worth buying because the product's quality does not reflect on any one person's work ethic or reputation. It's ok if people hate a company with a revolving door of employees. A CEO can always get hired someplace else. If people don't want to do business with a company the company might find ways around that. Oh you don't want to shop for your groceries at the only grocery store in your food desert? Lol. You don't want to ride in a Boeing plane and you even picked out your flight to avoid one? The airline can just switch planes and they've likely overbooked the flight anyway so it would honestly be more convenient for them if you didn't want to use that ticket you've already paid for. Cable and internet providers will make deals with apartment complexes for exclusivity. You bought tools from Sears because of the lifetime warranty on what your dad told you was a quality brand but they moved manufacturing to China with cheap parts years ago and you will be getting that same ratchet replaced over and over with ratchets that are really just the refurbished ones brought in broken from other customers. I can't opt out of the economy. I don't really go anywhere or do anything. I stay home and draw on outdated software with old equipment and listen to Youtube video essays and read webcomics and try to learn languages with freely available tools. I like paying creators directly when I like their work. But even then, I can't opt out of dealing with puritanical payment processors or social media companies that let AI scrapers ravage my work and the work of all the creators I adore before we even get a we-totally-promise-not-to toggle. We're out here getting eaten alive by a system that has stopped shaming us for "killing" industries that priced us out because they found new ways to exploit us.

We're not the consumers, you fuckers are.

TWST anniversary commercials over the years be like

1st anni: EVERYONE IS HERE!! IN EVENT OUTFITS!! Grim interacting with everyone representing how far we have come!!

2nd anni: Everyone is still here!! But with slightly worse animation...

3rd anni: Everyone is- No, it's only the third years and the animation has gotten even more even more lazy and worse if that's even possible

4th anni: Fuck you you're not getting any animated bits this year, have a slideshow with pre-existing images from the game AND new dorm leaders art I guess (you like OTHER characters that aren't the dorm leaders??? why would you?? sucks to be you)

[toodrawtothink]

The company I work for, Make llc, is now using AI to generate backgrounds and imagery for our animated work. Our industry is normalizing the use of ai generated imagery which will vastly phase out the use of human artists to render artwork.

If you are aspiring to be a commercial artist I would strongly discourage going to school/college for any of it. Schooling will set you on average 100k+ in debt in an industry that nearly most animators will never see above 50-60k in yearly wages on the high end. Animation is a high debt, low income industry and it is only becoming more so.

My advice is to stay out of debt and ensure you have career/life-trajectory flexibility.
