Well, we didn't win the Oscar! But you know, the competition this year was absolutely fierce. And just the fact that Robot Dreams was at the Oscars is wild and I will be forever proud of our little champion baby TwT

So the birds were the first sequence that we started animating, closely followed by the rabbits. I was in charge of three fourths of the sequence, together with my colleage Adèle, who did the remaining fourth. I remember how excited the guys in the director's room were to see the first ever animated shot (the one where momma bird lands and pecks at Robot's feet).

A lot of us at the studio will remember having doubts when it came to the Blackbird sequence, being one of the least favorite among the team at the time. But that quickly changed, and now it appears to be one of the most memorable according to the public. <3

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?

  • 99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
  • DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff
  • building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
  • don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)
  • don't hate-follow
  • don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)
  • don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
  • op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships
  • don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
  • spread joy and positivity in your circles
  • disable anonymous asks

This is some of the best social media advice (and advice for being a human among humans generally) I've ever seen.

All of this. For people asking how I've survived here for over 12 years...
