cw suicide, death, death of a family member

this year has been beyond rough

two months and one week after my granddad passed away, my cousin took his own life

i only found out monday. five weeks after it happened. he was the cousin i was closest to on that side of the family. no one thought to tell me.

it's complicated. i don't have much contact with that side of the family - only that cousin, and my aunt, and even then only very rarely do i speak to my aunt. my cousin and i talk - talked, on and off, he dropped off the map a lot. always has. i hadn't heard from him in a few months, but that was normal.

my aunt (she isn't the cousins mother) realized on the day of his funeral that it was likely no one had told me, so she called my mum, who also had no idea what had happened, and she told me.

it still hasn't sunk in. he had a fucking difficult life. he was the cousin i knew the best. he was the oldest out of us. now i guess i'm the oldest cousin.

we went to the same secondary school.

the last conversation we had was about pokémon romhacks

he was the person who taught me about missingno. in pokémon red and blue. he was the person who taught me how to do most of the major gen 1 glitches. on the kitchen floor. he told me if you have the sound on the gameboy turned way up, it'll drain the battery quicker.

can't take off time to grieve either. my workplace is a piece of shit. no sick pay. when my granddad passed, they told me, "take as much time as you need off", i took off a week, they paid me one day of compassionate leave and said it simply wasn't possible to pay compassionate leave for the rest of the time. at the start of the year, they patted themselves on the back in an e-mail, saying how good of an employer they were, how they spoiled their employees (there's less than 15 of us across the whole company.)

i think i forgot to take my adhd medication this morning

just needed a place to vent

Welp... (#FireDavidZaslav)

I never though of making this, but a few hours ago, Coyote Vs Acme, the most highly anticipated movie to come out the Looney Tunes, has been shelved and would not be releasing at all.

When I heard this I was confused and disappointed: "Why would they cancel this movie?" I thought to myself. "Oh right, TAXES and MONEY!" I was already aware of Zaslav's mistreatment of animation but this made me sad in particular considering that the movie was completed by the time it was cancelled.

All of those animators that have put their sweat and guts into this film for over two years. Gone. By contrast, the universally-reviled Velma got green light for a second season, while 2023's The Flash not only somehow survived cancellation, but also kept Ezra Miller - who had a lot of criminal activity throughout 2022 - as the titular character in spite of the potential legal trouble they'll get for having a convicted criminal in a role of a mainstream film, let alone still continue acting.

As I said in a comment on a YT video, any hope I had with WB and especially Zaslav is pretty much gone. Hell, I would argue that any hope I had with this year is gone. Between the abysmal beginning (the aforementioned Velma, the career-destroying scandals of Justin Roiland and Elliot Gindi, with the latter having only stared voiced acting for five months before the allegations came out, and the widespread, messy but otherwise pointless Hogwarts Legacy drama), the doubling down of Hollywood and especially WB's maltreatment of animation, several formally revered people getting exposed left and right, and tech giants making inane decisions, most notable Elon's takeover of Twitter and Reddit's API Changes, its honestly not a hyperbole or an exaggeration to say I despise this year. Not to an extent of 2020, but still pretty bad, and 2023 sucking was something I've been genuinely dreading when December of last year came.

And speaking of last year, this day marks the unfortunate first anniversary of the controversy DeviantArt got into when they decided to implement AI into their platform known for art made by actual people, NOT machines. Is every Nov. 11 going forward gonna have a company screwing over their audience and employees?

If there's one silver lining to this devastating situation, it's that the producers of said film would be able to watch it on private screenings next week. That, and the potential content leaks of said film.

At this rate, WB is dangerously close to becoming the ActiBliz of animation - a company full of greedy scumbags who take delight in screwing over their audience and their people.

To close this post off, I will no longer be supporting WB and its related content from now on (at least legally). I'll be removing my profile off of HBO Max (or rather Max) and deleting the service on my TV. I'll also remove every video from the Cartoon Network YouTube channel off my watch history even though they had nothing to do with this situation, I just don't like associating myself with a scummy company regardless of how I feel about the products themselves. That obviously doesn't mean I automatically hate anything by WB nor do I want to remove them from my history, I'm just saying is that I don't want to support anything by WB if that means I'm profiting of from the company. I'll also delete/private my fan art commemorating the company's centennial, because as I said before, I'm not respecting a company that treats its own works like disposable tools while giving other works a slap on the wrist in spite of their abysmal quality. Talk about double standards...

TL;DR: WB cancels a film that has already been completed and everyone is restoring to pirating their content, including me.

EDIT: Okay, changed my mind. I'm ONLY going to delete everything from JUST Warner Bros., the company, not the products they own. That doesn't mean I WON'T be deleting anything that celebrates the company though.

EDIT 2: Even though I'm not supporting WB anymore, I'm keeping my 100th anniversary post (at least on this site) for "archival/historical" purposes.

The fact that June has consistently been the worst month of the year for me three years in a row is homophobic as fuck.

Fuck this fucking year and fuck whatever I did to deserve this

[snixx]

God this year keeps getting worse. Earlier today I along with my mom, my brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew and my aunt were in a car accident. Thankfully none of us were badly injured and thank God my little nephew is okay. We will feel soreness and pain in some parts but we shall be fine but the usual, if it gets bad, hospital visit it is. I’m still shaken up from this. And yes, that shit driver, who we found out has had five traffic violations, we are suing him.

[artsy-kitten]

Also we found out this week that my mom is actually dying for real this time and I’m having a really bad hard time

[james-p-sullivan]

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

You can only reblog this today or until the next Monday, June 19th, 2028.

[noelledeltarune]

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.
