UGH. THIS BOOK. Written in the first person. Except I'm around 40 pages in and we have 5 different POV characters all using "I" THIRD PERSON LIMITED IS FINE. IT WOULD IN FACT BE AN IMPROVEMENT HERE.

Shout-out to Travis Knight, who's father is the CEO of Nike (yes THAT Nike, the shoe brand) using his immense inherited wealth to fund stop motion animation at a financial loss purely for the love of the art. Laika Studios my beloved <3
Jamie Smart@jamiesmart.bsky.social · yesterdayGetting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’
Theres a mod for Red Dead 2 that lets you have animated sex but the orgasm noise they used is Arthur's death scream from fall damage and its the funniest fucking thing

You want diverse art that is complex nuanced and deals with weighty themes? you are not going to get it from the big money companies. you need to embrace art that is unpolished, low budget, rough around the edges, and imperfect.
Oh this is fucking bullshit!! I used to run masquerades where entrants were just con goers and we had to make sure they could enter and stuff because telling them no opened us up to ADA lawsuits!
