That's How It Went

Hi there! I'm a mod for the JonElias Prompt Week Event @joneliasweek and we're just about to kickstart the event! Our prompts will be released 6/19 and the week itself will be 7/17-7/23. Our FAQ and schedule are up on the blog, and our askbox is always open for questions, so feel free to ask! Wanted to let you know this is happening, feel free to reblog if you'd like to support! -Mod Guess

!!! Howdy guess! I would love to participate! I need to make content of the cool two eyeball dudes 👀

The Mayor has found something weird.

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.

The love for Jonathan Sims just never stops. Like i'll think about him, even for a second, and i just. he was so good. He was so good. He tried SO HARD. And he was an arse and he was prickly and he was smug and he was not easily liked and yet and yet and yet he was SO GOOD. Unwilling god of an apocalypse still trying to figure out how to cauterize the wound, still stopping himself from indulging in his worst instincts, still CLINGING to what he considered to be humane.

He could have said "Game over" in S4 and we would have all understood. He could have said "Game truly over" in S5 and it would have made sense. And EVERY STEP OF THE WAY he was like. No. This brings me so much horrible joy and it feels so good and so right and /this is not who i want to be/.

just stalked your spotify a bit- love money money money on gus’s playlist it’s bop after bop

(also your lacho playlist having No Children which is thee obligatory Lacho anthem ugh we could have and should have had it all truly)

Thank you! I'm really happy you like my playlist of tunes these characters would definitely not listen too, haha (though I do headcanon that Gus would listen to ABBA, he has that kind of vibe when he's not scheming decade long revenge plots)

Also!! We truly could have had it all! Was really hoping for a Lacho confrontation this season where they could possibly murder each other with unspoken, but inevitable, romantic tension ✊😔

TMAGP4 - Taking Notes / Whiplash 2014

My old school once covered up a serious hazing incident and (unrelatedly) still wont fire the history teacher that walks around slapping his hands with a metal base ball bat and once grabbed a girl by the back of her neck to make a metaphor about the British seizing american ports.

In 3rd grade I got this big award in front of the whole school for ‘most improved’ and I keep thinking about it b/c

It was named after a kid who died in a tractor accident and apparently had behavioral issues that were getting better? the school somehow decided the most tasteful way to honor his memory was with a ‘most improved’ award, and then to hand it out annually to elementary school students, who definitely wouldn’t be creeped out at all to receive something named after a kid who died tragically.

I only got it because I finally had a teacher who knew how to help with/ my learning disorders. And both of my siblings (with similar issues) went on to receive the exact same reward when they were also in Mrs. D’s class. Like, if problem children are repeatedly improving after switching to a new classroom environment, maybe they weren’t the problem in the first place. Maybe get these kids help sooner. (Man, I flipping loved Mrs. D)

The person on the stage had to call my name twice because I wasn’t paying attention. Someone had to tap me on the shoulder. I think I was reading.

It was a pretty weird situation. I still kept the plaque though.
