figures - 2/2. meant to print this as a free paper for cafkl but i dont know where to print it TWO DAYS BEFORE THE CON so i will just print it at home until it eats all my toner

"Fine," Hugo knows when he's beaten, "just put them back in the boxes when you're done so I can return them--" "Return them??" Vivian isn't done yet. "These are super rare 'underground' limited editions! Think about the resale value!" Hugo rallies: "Vivian, we are not keeping these things in the house! What if Lycan sees them??" Vivian pounces, waving the Lycaon figure at him: "Why would Mr Lycaon ever come to our house? Are you planning to invite him?"

"If he's coming over can I invite my friend Lilac too? Oh, you know what, I'm sure Lilac would be happy to help us store these as long as we let her use them for drawing reference!" Vivian glows as she envisions Lilac's joy. "But now I'm curious... Why did you want a figure of Mr Lycaon in the first place?" Hugo folds his arms and bites his lip, the picture of regret.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in New Eridu, as Lycaon is also hate-searching Hugo on the Inter-knot while blow-drying his fur, he becomes one of the first people to see the preview of a Hugo nendoroid.

#lycahugo figures - 1/2

drawing of a tiny lycaon standing on a hand, possibly hugo's. lycaon looks annoyed about this. the word 'figures' is pasted haphazardly in the background (the author was very tired)

comic page narrating how one day, as hugo was hate-searching lycaon on the inter-knot, he finds - 'a toy figure of Lycaon? who would buy something like this!! ... no, actually, I'll buy one so i can send it to him! he's going to be so mad!" cut to some days later, vivian carrying a massive box asking, "hugo, did you buy something online?"

hugo is shocked. "why is it so big??" vivian, opening the box excitedly: "wow, you got a Lycaon figure! That unofficial 1/6 figure that comes with two different versions!" hugo, annoyed: "this isn't the one I ordered! Why does this stupid guy have so many different figures and how do you know so much about them?" vivian, sagely: "hugo, you have to do your research so you don't buy the wrong figure." As Vivian admires one of the Lycaon figures, Hugo peers in the other box, saying, "I don't get it, why are there two of them? Aren't they the same--"

"actually," hugo shuts his eyes, "I don't want to know--" "Oh," Vivian lifts the other figure out, delighted, "it's a shirtless version." Hugo, extremely flustered: "Vivian! Don't look! Put it back!" only for a defensive Vivian to clutch the figure, asking: "Why can't I look, Hugo? I'm an art appreciator. My intent is pure... What do YOU feel when you look at this beautiful figure of Mr Lycaon?" Hugo, defeated, mutters, "Can you not hold it like that..."

You know what, heck it. I've done an idle animation of Von Lycaon, because he's one of the best characters in that darn gacha game. Both design, personality, and lore.
(I do apologise, I had to reupload because the animation was too short for Discord.)

That part in Brant’s quest where he was translating what the sad Lottie Lost said and Rover wasn’t having it

A meme of Brant and rover from the game wuthering waves. Brant says “I’ve translated it”, then rover says “you didn’t translate shit”, and then brant responds again with “I’ve translated it”

If you’re just learnin about the video game strike, I wanna clarify a key detail I’ve seen get distorted a lot: Generally, the *developer* decides whether to sign an interim agreement, not the recording studio. Often, the studio is only a middleman. They do not set this term.

What's written vs. what's actually reasonably ENFORCEABLE is an important distinction.

Just because a contract says "we're not allowed to use AI" doesn't mean it's possible for the actors to take action without bankrupting themselves if it's violated.

Interim Agreements PROVIDE that legal support.

Emeri Chase @emerichase.com · Mar 12

There are many contracts out there with AI protections, but only SAG Interim & Tiered Budget Contracts provide actors with a legal team to enforce the contract at no cost. Legal fees are expensive, and many actors would have to go into debt to enforce our own contracts if they were violated.

This is what I've been quiet about. I'm not SAG but what game companies want to do with AI is an existential threat. I took a personal stand to ask for protection, and had to be willing to give up the best thing that's ever happened in my professional life. I stand by my choice.

Emeri Chase @emerichase.com · Mar 12

Hey proxies,

I was replaced as Soldier 11 because I am unwilling to perform work not covered by a SAG Interim Agreement during a strike for AI protection, the outcome of which will determine the future of our industry.

Any other theories that pop up are incorrect.

This is likely not the only Hoyoverse project in which actors have been unable to reprise their roles because they requested to have essential AI protections in place before they could willingly accept the work.

This is also potentially not the only Hoyoverse project to have recasts over this fact.

As the SAG strike continues, be aware that many US projects may come to the UK to circumvent it.

UK actors can’t legally step away from booked work, but for new auditions, be sure to ask questions of your auditions and make informed decisions.

The fight for protections from AI is international!

Proxies - I'm learning about this as you are and I share your shock. Neither HoYoverse nor Sound Cadence has communicated with me since October. I've been fully available and recorded multiple voice jobs in that time. I am trying to learn more and absorb this news.

I'm so very very done with this. I'm so beyong upset that my comfort character's voice is being replaced like it was nothing. How hard is it for a multi-billion dollar company to just sign an agreement to say that VAs can be protected against AI learning tools?! (con't)

Bumping this with some answers to rumors I've seen/heard:
- I do not have an opera company
- I have not been on an orchestra tour
- I am not producing a podcast
- I love every minute playing Lycaon and want to voice him in every chapter
- "Scheduling issues" can mean many things

Proxies, a PSA since I see the questions coming - as long as I am under contract for "Zenless Zone Zero," I am not permitted to comment on behind the scenes business and why particular things may be happening or not happening. I wish I could say more.
