Love having to cancel an almost year old commission because of a lack of communication and progress. Idk why I commission people anymore, sometimes it just feels like I have the worst luck of not getting any communication or transparency

Pro tip: if someone pays you in full the least you could do is update them every so often. Nothing’s more fun than confronting someone over that 10 months later and basically being told “actually I didn’t work on it at all and I already spent all the money… I can refund you later”

I need to get art of my bat shaking hands with biddy blas

The only thing more frustrating than generative ai stuff being shoved down my throat is when I say I don’t want it and people act like I must consume their ai garbage

I know that a lot of “if x was y then why was it z in this movie?” Critique posts are just engagement bait… but god damn it makes me feel like media literacy is dead because like half the plot holes I see people point out in movies or shows are things that are definitively answered

Really makes me feel like cinemasins fucked an entire generation of movie viewers and made people feel like they have to nitpick every detail. A close family member is awful with this and treats any of their personal movie nitpicks like a personal debate

So with the magic key no show policy gone now, can I get like a $5 coupon off a snack or something for the time my car actually died and I was stranded in another city and they acted like I was an employee that needed to ensure I was there on time????????????????

Sometimes I feel like I have the worst luck with getting communication from artists about commissions. I don’t want to be some annoying dude but also sometimes it just feels like every message is ignored :l

This isn’t directed at any one person in particular, but it’s happened like eight times now and I feel like it’s frustrating as a commissioner to just feel ghosted when you’ve paid for something

Is it a hot take to say that I think the 2012 fantasmic redo was the peak of that show and the 2017 redo felt like it was kitbashed together using audio from other defunct shows or otherwise felt bloated

Don’t get me wrong though I want it to keep existing because Disneyland desperately needs live entertainment and I’d rather have a watered down version of a great show than literally nothing in its place (but night rides on the mark twain would be nice)

Family member spent thousands buying express at epic universe “because chat gpt told me the lines for each ride were longer than 5 hours” instead of you know, just googling what the average wait times were and playing it by ear. Every ride was a walk on except for the Harry Potter one apparently

Theaters need to start kicking people out for being on their phones and talking during the movies again. Also more people need to tell loud assholes to quiet down

The concept of one hospital visit or an emergency ruining financial stability at any point is terrifying to me and I hate that that just looms over people’s heads.

I think it's really funny that Disney invested the money into substantially upgrading the Hyperion Theater's stage and then proceeded to do literally nothing with it after the Rogers musical.

If I want a backpack, socks, underwear, or razorblades I have to press the button to summon the (usually pissed off) walmart employee, but if I want to buy one of several hatchets or axes I can just grab that off the shelf like it's nothing. Look I get why stores do this...

... but you can't tell me that it doesn't feel performative when I can buy shit like machetes and axes off the shelf. I know that in this case it's to stop theft of those items that typically get stolen more, but seriously

I want to see Disney make more movies like Muppet Treasure Island and the Muppet Christmas Carol again. Like there's no reason we can't have muppet retellings of some of the best stories known to human history.

I'd love original movies too, but I'm thinking in terms of creatively bankrupt "afraid to take risks" Disney
