with the wga strike recently coming to an end, i give my support and respect to the writers that protested and held out for the 5 long months.

but i do want everyone to still be aware that sagaftra IS still striking and has yet to receive a good deal, so dont forget to continue giving them full support as they continue. hopefully amptp will fall through for actors soon, but we still have to be prepared in case they continue being stubborn.

DO NOT HOUND THE ACTORS FOR INFO ABOUT SEASON 2

This SAG strike is a no promotion strike, meaning that if any actor who is a part of the guild promotes a show or movie in any way, they will be kicked out of the union.

This also goes for the writer's strike. The writers being on strike means that the editing for the show has most likely come to a complete stop. Any edit or change to the show requires approval from the writers, and if they give any feedback during the strike, they can be kicked out of the union.

This is why we haven't heard any news about Season 2. The editors and effects people literally CAN'T do their job during the strike.

IT'S TIME TO STOP COMPLAINING AND START SUPPORTING THE WRITERS AND ACTORS AND EDITORS WHOSE LIVLIHOODS ARE AT STAKE!

We under value and take for granted artists as a society. I’m talking all artists…writers, actors, musicians, dancers, designers, painters, sculptors…the list is endless.

The commonality is that they all have either spent their time honing their skills through practice, lessons, education or all of the above. Artists dedicate their time and often their lives to their craft.

We are failing our artists. Symphony orchestras are failing across the US. Writers and actors are on strike. People involved in the fine arts are turning to independent sales. We need to shift our expectations.

We need creatives as a part of our society. What we don’t need is the expectation that artists should work for free or for a paltry income. Simply because an artist enjoys performing or creating doesn’t mean they should have to do so for nothing.

We also no longer live in an era where it is standard that the extremely wealthy build museums or libraries or fund performing arts groups. We live in an era of amassing extreme wealth for the minority of the population.

I get that profitability is important, but at what cost? Are we ok that artists can’t afford health insurance? Are we ok that artists are leaving our communities for other opportunities? Are we ok that companies are ready to use AI over humans for creative processes and performance?

I’m not ready for any of this. We will lose a significant part of our humanity by eliminating and discouraging the ability to thrive for artists. Change can be hard but change is what is needed.

We are experiencing the beginning of a labor revolution and it will not stop with our writers, actors, UPS drivers or Starbucks baristas. The peasants are fed up and the nobility needs to pay attention.

Support your local artists. Support independent artists. Support the striking unions and organizations. We can all play a part in creating a long lasting effective change.

As we go into the SAG-AFTRA strike and the writers guild strike continues we need to remember that film and television (and the fandoms born from it) can't exist without the writers and the cast.

Fandom exists because of the blood, sweat, and tears of artists, stage hands, and crew members. NOT the executives abusing them.

If you want to enjoy the media through fandom then it is your duty to support the guilds and unions protecting the people making the art we love.

Stand strong. Even when the executives try to use our emotions against us.

Hold the line. Even when they threaten us with delays and cancelations.

Support the art you claim to love. Support the unions.

Paget Brewster (an actress who has been in the business since the early 90s) just tweeted out that she was paid $990 for Criminal Minds Evolution that was broadcasted across SEVENTY countries what the fuck?? FUCK HOLLYWOOD AND TV EXECS!!

Support The WGA, Support SAG- AFTRA. Actors and Writers are humans too.

Edit : Right everyone I read this wrong coz i’m a bit of a dumbass. @storiesofsvu and @blackbird-brewster both commented and corrected it! Pls read the comments and reblogs of this before taking my word for it, she didn’t get paid $990 for CME. It was *residuals* over the entire series.

Welp, that's one way to try and help. 😊 Show these studios that you can't just starve ppl out indefinitely in order to get your way.

I hope more will continue to donate, cuz this is getting ridiculous! 😤 MOST ppl cannot afford to go months and months without a paycheck! Most ppl (newsflash) are living paycheck to paycheck, or are two or three paychecks away from not being able to make their rent/mortgage, pay their cars, or put food on the table. 😔

Anyway, I'm hoping more actors at the top will continue to donate. Oprah and her billion dollar self could probably stand to donate more than 1 million lol 👀, but hey, we're just happy to get what we can get at this point lol 😆

Are

You

Fucking

Kidding

Me

With

This

Shit

This is fucking disgusting from these industries to do to both writers and actors alike. This is a fucking slap to the face to them, and I can’t be silent about this.

Look I was gonna be done posting for today, but seeing this on Instagram, really boils my blood and if you want to see more, they just posted on there, but I will link their website.

Frankly, what piss me off more is the fact they had the audacity. The balls. The nerve to go “oh we’re not gonna protect you from being digital replaced but we going to lie about the percentage to make you look bad” and also that they won’t even budge. Really? Do you know how appalling this is coming from industry that make billions/Millions of dollars from box office when a movie premiers, yet they won’t even raise their wages for these actors/writers that make the movie magic happen? Not even a time or fucking day. Yet they want to replace them with A.I, a soulless and unimaginative and uncreative a.I that been proven to steal art from artist? Really? And when they said no, they demanded consent? The fucking balls I’m tell you. (I wanna throw up)

And this honestly hurts, as someone who want to one day make my stories from a graphic novel into a movie/tv show one day. And seeing how these industries are proving time and time again that they won’t lift a finger for them. I can say…So much about this. How upset I am that these industry blatantly disrespected these performers and writers. But, imma swallow my anger, and I want to say to the performers and writers on here and you can spread this if you like, me and other fans are here to support you at any step of the way. And I’m sorry this happen to you. And I have hope that you are going to get the respect and fairness you deserve. And I’m sorry these industry did this to you.

So anyone who see this, please support the strike, please go support the Sag-Aftra and WGA during this strike. My heart goes out for them.

Idk who needs to hear this but your favourite show is not more important than peoples livelihoods.

Your favourite show being delayed because writers and actors aren't being paid, are barely getting by and can't afford rent.

Is not the fault of the writers and actors.

But the studios who won't pay them a fair and livable wage.

I get that it sucks but complaining that these strikes need to end now so you can watch your shows.

Shows that you don't care about the livelihoods about the people making said show.

And if that's the case than you don't deserve it.

You don't deserve them.

Think for one minute how bad it must be for the first time in 63 years that both the actors and writers are on strike together.

Support the strike ❤️

[tiredflowercrown]

Don't forget! Just because we got a trailer, that doesn't mean that the strike has stopped.

WGA and SAG-AFTRA are still on strike and negotiating to get the rights and benefits they deserve.

They are the people who built this show. Donate to help them continue to strike.

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative deal to end the writer's strike 146 days after it started.

This is incredible news. As someone in the film and TV industry, I'm thrilled and I applaud the members of the WGA for their tenacity. They truly showed up and fought to make things better for future generations of writers, and they deserve everything they asked for (and hopefully won) with this deal. Fingers crossed that a similar deal will be reached soon between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA to end the actor's strike.

That being said, as someone working in VFX, I'm imploring everyone to be kind to VFX artists in the coming months. We all want the industry to make a comeback and to be part of bringing back the media we all know and love, but I can guarantee that the big studios of the AMPTP that contract out work to smaller VFX shops like mine are now going to try to make up as much lost revenue as possible. Shows that had production grind to a standstill are going to come back on condensed schedules, and since all the smaller shops have been hit hard by the strikes, they're going to take up as much work as possible. And VFX folks don't have unions. We don't have protections against gross amounts of overtime to stop the client studios from simply pulling a show from us if we can't bend over for a wildly unrealistic production schedule.

Again, I'm thrilled the WGA strike has an end in sight, but I'm also mentally preparing for a sucky few months ahead for myself and my friends and colleagues in post-production. And the work will suffer for it; it always does. So if the CG in your favorite shows or that movie you're looking forward to looks kind of wonky in the coming year, please be kind to the VFX artists. We're always doing the best we can with what we're given, and I think we're about to be given a lot less than usual.

This was posted by comedian Paul F Tompkins on his IG story.

The word "appalling" doesn't even begin to describe how vile this is.

"SAG-AFTRA is seeking for all background actors to be treated equally"

Their response??

"Rejected"

"REJECTED" ‼️

🤬😤

Edit: A minor correction, I had typed "fairly" instead of "equally"

A comment left on AO3 to warm the cockles of my fanfic-writer’s heart:

“Don't mind me making my way through your entire catalogue :P I'm living my best life.”
