Home of Scraps, and my purple dragon obsession.

The Koopa designs for the stream today.

Sometimes you just wanna draw your sona as a girl. So I did.

So Prismo got recast in the Fionna and Cake show cuz Kumail Nanjiani's agents didn't let him know the crew was trying to get him back to reprise the role

I remember back in 2011 there was a little flap caused when Weird Al put out his song “Perform This Way” for free online because Lady Gaga had denied permission to put it on his album (permission he never needed, but always got anyway). He’d been asked to supply not just lyrics but a recorded version before being denied, hence putting it out online. Fans of both artists were surprised and upset by this news.

One Weird Al fan who was massively surprised by all this was Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga. It turns out that her manager had been the one handling the situation and never actually played the song for her. She quickly OK’ed it, and the song was still the lead-off single for the Alpocalypse.

And just makes me wonder how many of these “we actually asked but your team said no without consulting you” things happen.

This also reminds me of the Gary Larson/Jane Goodall thing, where Gary Larson (the guy who does “The Far Side”, of “Cow Tools” fame) put out the following comic:

TLDR version: The Jane Goodall Institute was not amused, and bugged Larson to pull it from publication… But Goodall herself saw it when she got back from the research trip she’d been on, thought it was HILARIOUS, and let the PR people who made the decision HAVE IT for giving him grief about it without consulting her first, before giving Larson the go-ahead herself; as a result, it got to go back into print. She even signed a copy of it for him!

One of my favorite stories, tbh.

I have heard of MANY similar stories. Especially since the strikes began. It turns out that many actors want to do indie movies, and ask their reps about it. The indie movies want them, and contact the reps. The reps refuse and never tell the actors about it.

I have also seen a situation where an author of colour wanted a certain director of colour to adapt her book, and the director also wanted to adapt the book, and both asked their agents to contact the other side… both agents returned, over and over again, for YEARS, with “refusals” from the other party. Only when they met at an event and both hesitatingly broached the subject did they find out the truth.

There is a famous example of this from the production of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. At one point, Bill Murray was supposed to have been high up on the list of actors wanted by both the Zemeckis and Spielberg. So they reached out to Murray, only to be told several times that he wasn't interested.

Years later, Zemeckis did an interview of some sort where he explained that they could never get past Murray's assistant, who was impossible to get in contact with at the best of times and obstinately refused to talk with them the rest of the time. So they gave up.

Murray found out about this when he read the interview, and was apparently very upset as he had been wanting to work with Spielberg and Zemeckis.

This is an out of season drawing I did as a redraw of a drawing my girlfriend did. It's very cute. A 10/10

Here is the old one for reference. <3

ACK! Reblogged the morning post to the wrong account!

personally i think some things look dogshit at 60fps.

That’s unfair to dogshit. Dogshit isn’t smeared around all over the place.
