So SAG-AFTRA is on strike, here’s what it means for you as a viewer

1) For Americans, it means the fall cable tv slots are going to be either re-runs or previously recorded content that was already scheduled to come out.

2) For non Americans, it means you will in the same boat and not be getting any new American episodes or shows until the strike is over and even then it will be at least 3-4 months before they have stuff filmed.

3) Any production that is still ongoing even though the writers walked out first, will most likely be shut down which includes House of the Dragon. The studios are trying to push the agenda in the news that they won’t be because most non-American actors are a part of Equity. Most Equity members are also SAG-AFTRA members or the productions are based in the US making them partially in SAG-AFTRA territory.

The productions will either shut down fully or they will film what they can with people who are not SAG-AFTRA members which will not allow them to stay open for long. Especially considering productions like HOTD have been violating the rules of the writers strike by having non-writers take over that job.

You may be asking hey Madi what can I do as a viewer to help?

1) Donate to strike funds. Especially as the heat as ramped up here in LA and the strikers will need ice and water.

Strike Fund for Picketers - covers water, ice, snacks, and financial needs of the Protestors

Entertainment Community Fund - helps out all those who work in the entertainment business that are affected by the shutdowns

2) Buy WGA or SAG-AFTRA merch directly from their shops. Its’s a great way to help the cause and represent their cause even if you might not live in NYC or LA. Plus their items are union made!

WGA Shop

SAG-AFTRA Shop

3) Join the Picket Lines.

WGA Picket Locations - Lists both NYC and LA picket spots.

SAG-AFTRA Locations - TBA abut most likely the same as WGA.

4) Spread the word on your socials. Maybe you don’t live close but spreading the word online is helpful. Make it so the executives cannot escape what they’ve done.

5) Do not engage with the social media that’s coming from the studios/entertainment companies accounts. No liking, watching, saving, etc. Make their metrics hurt and maybe even unfollow. But don’t go spamming their accounts with comments supporting the strike. The people behind the social media accounts aren’t the ones to blame.

Dragon Sickness

Inktober day 27. Beast

I will not part with a single coin

Here's a fanfic idea: A self-insert oc who just so happens to be Team Green dies and wakes up in the world of hotd as the daughter of Alicent Hightower. Between adjusting to life without the modern comforts of home and growing up in a nest of vipers, the self-insert quickly realizes that her favorite Greens are different from the lovingly written headcanons she shared on her Discord server, that Aegon II is a total monster, that being the daughter of her favorite character is not for the faint of heart, that Otto Hightower is not a well-meaning political mastermind who loves his grandchildren, and that her half-sister Rhaenyra was never an evil wicked kinslaying witch.

behold them

pretty much all of my pieces are at the rendering stage, and my brain needed a break from this annoyingly satisfying process. So have this self indulgent sketch of my two girls, jesra and phebe, bc i love them so much <3

uuhhh in other new that lmk s5 trailer dropped and people are very

mixed

for context the new season is being partly animated by wildbrain i think. flying bark is still working on the show but probably due to all the other projects they've been working on like the atla movie the animation is off.

its understandable that people are upset. lmk has some of the most consistently dynamic and lively animation ive ever seen, and going from that to ok animation kinda sucks. as a culmination of a lot of what the series has been building up to people were inevitably going to be disappointed

at the same time people shouldnt harass animators. like ever. no amount of trying to petition or anything will change the s5, people are just trying to do their job and theres no probably no major changing to the finished product by now. and theres still a lot of that lmk charm in there, and we haven't even seen the whole season yet to judge it. flying bark is still working on it, and even if the animation never reaches the peak of the old seasons it still has the same writers so at least the writing has the chance to live up old standards. idk though we'll just have to wait and see

Dreaming of a world where we get remastered dragon ages and maybe we get a cute new dlc for II that's explains what the actual fuck happened between it and inquisition

[vivianquill]

there's another ranchers/zits/giggs au story concept in my head i've been playing with, so let's-- just call this a demo.

Feel free to send asks or just give general feedback, not only will it help me to flesh out the au more, it'll also give me more ideas on where to go. I've seen similar aus out there, but nothing quite like this one-- or having all the same concepts as this one. If people like it, I might turn it into an actual longfic. but i tend to run out of steam on my longfics (mostly due to a lack of interaction tbh. if no one else is excited about my au, then it's not worth pursuing, right? but that's my problem and something I have to work through myself, not something for anyone else to fix)

Anyway.

This is a thing.

The moment Jimmy laid eyes on Tango, he knew something was-- off-- about him.

They'd met him in a tavern, in the small town that lay below the abandoned Deepfrost Citadel. Jimmy's adventuring troupe had been commissioned with finding an artifact in the Citadel, and bringing it back to its rightful owner. The bounty offered would be enough to pay off the troupe's debts and much much more. When they'd asked around for any sort of maps, or a guide, the tavern keeper had pointed them over to Tango.

"He's the only one to have ever made it out of that cursed place alive." The dwarf had told them, pointing to where their future guide was sitting in the corner, "If you want a guide, he's the only one who can."

Jimmy's sense for danger had shivered up his spine and stolen his breath the moment he looked over. But-- no one in his troupe paid any attention to him anyway.

Besides, the negotiations had gone well, Tango seemed amical enough, and no one else seemed to have a problem with him. It was only Jimmy, and his overzealous avian anxiety. They would pay Tango half his fee up front, and half when they got back to the village safely.

It took them half a week to get up to the Citadel, and that was with the help and knowledge of Tango as their guide. Jimmy kept him at arms' length, not quite knowing why but deciding to trust his gut on this one. Tango was dangerous, in a way that he couldn't figure out. He'd brought it up to the others in his troupe, but none of them believed him. They all loved Tango. He was clever, quick to laugh and even quicker to crack a joke, and ever so useful.

By the time they made it to the door of the Citadel, Tango had become an invaluable member of the troupe.

Tango disappeared that first night, spent barricaded in an outlying tower and hoping not to freeze to death. Jimmy had been on watch, and between one glance and the next, Tango hadn't been in his bedroll anymore.

But-- he'd been right back in the morning, acting like Jimmy didn't know what he was talking about.

It was the little things that kept setting Jimmy on edge. Tango knew a little too much about the Citadel, he'd found the 'hidden' door to the crypts too easily, had pushed the troupe to descend into the depths faster than was safe, not letting them scout it with a familiar like they normally would. He could pick the locks almost like he had a silent knock spell in his fingers, and somehow knew his way through the maze of icy caverns like the back of his hand.

And every night, after everyone was asleep, he disappeared. Jimmy was the only one who noticed. No one else believed him either, did they just-- not notice the empty bedroll when they were on watch?

When they finally believed him, it wasn't until Tango disappeared for good. One morning, he just-- didn't come back.

Then the monsters started appearing.

One thing lead to another as they pressed deeper and deeper into the dungeon under the Citadel, icy crypts full of wraiths and furry beasts morphing into wet caverns covered in mushrooms and a pirate ship complete with it's undead crew; leading down into black mines that had supposedly been blocked off by cave ins over a hundred years ago-- and before they knew it they'd lost a member of the troupe-- their healer-- and then they were tripping tail over teakettle into a maze so dark and cold that even those in the troupe with darkvision couldn't see.

It spat them out into a chamber not unlike the throne room found mirrored high above in the Deepfrost Citadel. It was full of gold and magic and things that would make any adventurer drool at the prospect of having them to keep.

Jimmy hadn't felt 'safe'-- not since he'd first met Tango in that tavern all those weeks ago-- but the sense of someone watching them stayed his hand.

The rest of the troupe had gotten busy, plundering everything in reach and searching for the artifact they'd been sent to collect.

But not Jimmy.

When asked why he wasn't stuffing his pockets with gold, he waved off the troupe with the excuse of keeping watch. After all, there were the monsters to contend with still--

Tango's giggle seemed to come from everywhere at once.

"Oh, you really should have listened to poor, sweet Jimmy when you had the chance~"

And suddenly Tango was there, on the throne in the center of the room, but instead of the blond, brown-eyed and rough-hewn guide they'd come to know and trust, it was a creature made of frost and shadows.

Jimmy's heart dropped out his stomach.

"Dragon--!"

Oh, they were dead.

Scratch that. Apparently everyone but Jimmy was dead.

Not like that was much better.

[moonpaw]

god all the speculation about who was the traitor and it ended up being the vegapunk full of desire RIGHT after stella's "we owe everything to desire!" speech, like the irony of it all

Gus begins his spin cycle.

Which attracts an audience.

Grounding is important after a spin set as spinning can be rather disorienting.

(Gus only spins when he gets over exited for an algae wafer. Most of the time he practices normal pleco behaviour. Which means he sucks rocks, and other materials.) :D

[kuruk]

it was kind of racist how they did dragons in my little pony tjey didn't deserve thwt

[fiftylittlebears]

Daemon wants it all!

Okay, this is my two cents about what Daemon wants:

HE WANTS IT ALL!

He wants his wife

He wants his mistress

He wants his niece

He wants his throne

He wants his dragons.

Deep down (very deep down!) he even wants his brother’s love and approval, but he would rather die than admit that.

And the thing is, I still love the greedy bastard!!!

[fantasyinallforms]

I wish I made more money so I could commission so so much art and overpay for all of it.

[randomcartoonnerd]

Just imagine how he must be feeling hearing that after using dark magic.
