SAG-AFTRA IS STRIKING AGAIN

This time, for video games.

Some key information:

They are striking so all performers will have protection against AI

The struck companies are those signed to the Interactive Media Agreement

The listed companies by SAG-AFTRA include Activision Productions Inc, Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc, Electronic Arts Productions Inc, Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc, Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc, VoiceWorks Productions Inc and WB Games Inc. Though this may not be everyone.

Important things from the FAQ:

Some games from struck companies are non-struck (due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement still being in effect)

Localisations will be affected if covered under the Interactive Localization Agreement

Actors who are part of SAG-AFTRA cannot work for non-union or independent/low-budged productions during the strike unless they are signed to an Interim Interactive Media Agreement, Interim Interactive Localization Agreement or a Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Media Agreement

Similarly to the previous strike, struck work cannot be promoted. This includes accepting awards for performances in struck games. This does NOT include hosting/performing a skit at an awards show and San Diego Comic Con (the latter due to the close proximity to the calling of the strike)

As implied by the point above, SAG-AFTRA performers cannot partake in panels related to struck games or companies, including finished games produced by struck companies

The best way to check if a game is struck is to use the search tool provided by SAG-AFTRA

Most importantly: You are NOT being asked to stop playing video games, as highlighted in the FAQ for creators and streamers. This does NOT cross the picket line. Though please do talk about the strike and show your solidarity

I expect to see the same amount of support from y'all that we saw in the last strike. Just because it's video games doesn't mean performers deserve any less support and protection.

Also please reblog with any additions (with sources - we are NOT here to spread misinformation)! And please correct me if anything listed here is incorrect.

@friskdreemurr00 you are such a friend! It's always a delight to see you on my dashboard!

We all have that one tumblr mutual that we haven't talked to in months but you still remember them like you talk to them everyday

Some little dudes

!!! Spiders are such great friends! They get such a horrid reputation which is so sad!

There is such a gentle and quiet companionship when you're working and hanging out with a house spider on your wall. We might not understand eachother, but I know they won't hurt me and they know I won't hurt them . So we both just do our separate thing in gentle cohabitation. Such friends I love them so.

some of my best friends have been shower spiders

TMAGP4 - Taking Notes / Whiplash 2014

In A Little Game of Cat and Mouse it's mentioned that Alicia has an unseen twin, Theodosia. May I ask if you have any idea of her character? I'm just very fond of Jonah's sisters.

Hi!! Thank you so much for showing interest in the littlest guy, Theodosia! I have many thoughts about her, which I probably will not be able to expand much upon in the main fic. So here are some of them!

Theodosia is the younger and more quiet twin sister of Alicia (or at least she appears to be quiet in comparison to her sister, which isnt a very difficult task to accomplish).

If Alicia is similar to Jonah in her relentless pursuit of asking questions and her cavalier attitude towards not letting mysteries remain unbothered- Theodosia is much like Jonah in the way they are both schemers. Most of the mischief Theodosia and Alicia get up to at the Magnus Estate is plotted by Theo. One of the more recent plots of dumping a bucket of water on their governess from a door frame was rigged by Theo, and the twins' victim was lured into the trap by Alicia. These plans often lead to Alicia taking the brunt of the blame for their pranks as Theo always arranges her to be the one in the center of the action. Alicia does not mind, however, because she enjoys having the credit that Theodosia is all too willing to give her.

Another reason as to why Theo is not often placed with the worst of the punishment from their pranks is because Theodosia is a rather sickly child. The reason why she was unable to attend the opening of the institute is because she was incapacitated with a fever and left to the staff of the house to take care of. Alicia wanted to stay with Theodosia instead of going to what she correctly assumed was to be a very boring party, but Theodosia made her go with the promises of ghosts and immortal beings attending the opening so Alicia wouldn't feel guilty- and of course so Theodosia could hear about the drama of the event, and about the very unlikely chance Alicia would run into a supernatural being.

If Alicia and Theodosia weren't limited by the gender roles of the time, I believe they would have made a fantastic lawyer and doctor, respectively.

Thank you so much for being fond of Jonah's sisters!! And for asking about them! 💛

What do you think would Happen if there was halman and chelldos double date lol It would go absolutely horrible and awkward

AAAAAAAAAH OH MY GOSH!!!!

I'm loosing my marbles!! My marbles are all over the floor! Thank you, so, so much for bringing these silly fellas to life!! You have illustrated them all so charmingly!

Jon's character design is so incredibly cool and stylish! I love how you did his braid!! And the scars around the eyes! He's so brooding, just wow!

And jonah!!! He's so dapper and charming but you are so right in saying that he's worse! A hidden menace! His eyes are so bright and well rendered. His thought bubbles are so endearing what a guy, what a friend !

I'm so overjoyed you drew Alicia! She looks exactly as I imagined her oh my gosh! Jon and his collection of A-spec (and mordechai) friends totally not suitors are so delightful! I especially adore your Mordechai he is so no thoughts head empty he brings me such joy!

THE MAYOR

Just Wow!!! Thank you so much for bringing them to life! When I saw this I was so incredibly happy oh my gosh!!!

Fanart of "A Little Game of Cat and Mouse" by @paptato

I can't stop re-reading this fic and therefore had to make art for it. Someday I might make a nice illustration for it, but for now, it's all silly.

Also, I had to come up with character designs for this and while I'm not super happy with them, they sure do exist! Regency hair is difficult to draw. Many thanks to Jon for having terribly unfashionable hair.

Random thoughts about the art below ↓

(I can fix him) 

This man will come up with ways to manipulate Jon into having self-esteem.

(Fourth wheel)

Jon is collecting aro and ace-spec people like Pokemon and I respect that. Mordechai is also there, being a little weirdo.

(Wii Music) 

I genuinely love Mordechai in this. He’s just vibing. Jon, I know you hate the Lukas family on principle but can you make an exception? I respect his dedication to having a chill time even while other people are going through serious events. 

(Alicia)

Flora is my favourite of the Magnus family, but Alicia is a close second.

Made some art for my friend J. It's Jon and Jonah interacting with agent Cooper from Twin Peaks

what if midnight mass was MERRY and JOLLY and filled with CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

!!!! Oh my gosh!!! I love them so much your honor! I am pinching their cheeks like a grandmother! I saw this while waiting in line in a store and had to contain my delight to a socially acceptable level! Im such a fan!

I love the way you rendered both Jon and Mordechai! Jon's scars are drawn beautifully and I love how you illustrated his hair!! Also! Mordechai is so tall and lovely! He certainly would listen to the wii theme on loop if he had access to such technology! These sirs are so wonderful i-

A Little Game of Cat and Mouse by @paptato is a comedy

The music for this stream is fantastic! Just absolute bops, im so happy even if i miss the science pals. Gosh I hope it becomes available after the stream ends

The Half Life Vr AI 2 teaser being revealed to just be Breaking Bad roleplay is the most RTVS thing ever

The wonderful Albert/Cooper fanfiction trilogy “Some Say the World Will End in Fire” by Nemo_the_Everbeing really sparked my inspiration, with a lot of scenes I really wanted to draw. The first one is set before the events of twin peaks, Albert meeting Cooper for the first time. The second one is set after season two, and the third is an additional epilogue. Albert and Cooper are both wonderfully written, and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

If you want to read them with fresh eyes, don’t worry, you can come back later and look at the fanart for the first fic ending under this ‘read more’:

jonelias thesis statement

eugh blugh anyway anyway. elias like talks to jon completely differently than he talks to anyone else. if jon is the room he is talking exclusively to jon regardless of how many other people are in the room. if jon is not in the room but there’s a tape recorder running he’s talking to jon. if he thinks jon might have this conversation relayed to him at a later date he’s talking to jon. mag 92 is hysterical because why did you pack this office with as many people as possible for this conversation and then audibly not break eye contact with one specific guy for twenty minutes. well this is because jon is the only person that actually exists to him in this situation. or most situations. elias knows he’s in a podcast but as far as he’s concerned he and jon are the only characters in it and everyone else is set dressing and he gets so cranky about it when the set dressing starts expressing free will. jon is aware that other people exist 95% of the time unless he is actively talking to and/or yelling at elias and then he kind of forgor. mag 102 when elias is like melanie is coming to murder me with a knife for like .25 seconds jon is like the fuck is melanie and then returns to reality and remembers he has a life outside of “weird thing with elias” and is kind of embarrassed. like uh whoops sorry got kind of intense there for a second (elias continues to be kind of intense unabated) (forever)

went down to my basement to do laundry and there is a beautiful lady down there??

Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.

Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out

My son!!! Returned from the war!! 🖤
