⌈ A Borderline Looking Glass ⌋

Hey fam! The Mouse is refusing to recognize the unionization efforts of its production workers. If you're not familiar with what PAs or PMs do, I'll outline it briefly. The tl;dr is that NO ANIMATION WOULD GET DONE WITHOUT PRODUCTION WORKERS. They are the glue holding together every single production of your very favorite cartoons!

They take notes in all the meetings with the artists.

They make sure the artists are meeting their deadlines (and showing up to the meetings in the first place).

They help us navigate studio servers to find the files we're looking for.

They send us our time cards, and make sure we get paid!

Production workers do all this and more, often for minimum wage. The hardships that they suffer as a result--the long hours, the unpaid overtime, the abuses of power--are horrific.

You'd really think that they'd be compensated fairly for these jobs! Can you imagine trying to live in Los Angeles or New York on minimum wage with a job that definitely won't allow you time to pick up a second or third one??

This has to stop, and you can help.

All that Walt Disney Animation Studio's production workers ask is that you add your name to this petition! That's it.

This isn't some Change.org petition. It's not going to sell your email to spam companies. This is through IATSE (our union)'s website.

to follow up on OP's points, here's some more stuff production staff does:

STORYBOARD AND ANIMATIC

managing the master project file, which sometimes means scanning, cropping, camera adjusting, and typing hundreds or even thousands of panels, dialogue, and action notes by hand into storyboard pro if the artist drew them in photoshop or traditionally

pinning up and taking down boards for pitches and reviews (yes, manually, with push pins on walls). every note drawn on those pieces of paper needs to be scanned and sent to the artists.

inputting new and revised panels into the board project file and then exporting them to the animatic editor, which necessitates memorizing the board front to back because artists don't always track their panels or tell you which ones have been updated and you have to know instinctively.

conforming, which means going panel by panel and comparing it to every frame of the animatic to make sure they're a complete match, which happens multiple times and usually requires quick turnarounds.

RECORD

reaching out to recording studios, voice directors, and talent agencies to coordinate record times and availabilities.

creating the schedules, typing up scripts, adding line numbers, updating line counts, exporting boards, collecting audition tapes, arranging catering, watermarking literally everything, and making sure everyone involved gets the right stuff and the most updated versions of that stuff ahead of time.

circle takes.

sending the raw selects to the dialogue editor, arranging radio plays, and sending the clean selects to the animatic or post editors.

DESIGN AND SHIPPING

creating all the templates artists need to design a show's assets (hundreds of them!), which includes pulling board references so they know exactly what to draw, compiling brush libraries, mood boards, and vis dev pieces.

tracking the progress of hundreds of designs across multiple episodes in every stage they're in (and as OP said, making sure the artists turn them in on time).

creating a reference list (a GIANT spreadsheet breaking down every single use of every single design in every single scene of the episode--takes DAYS to create for just one episode!)

preparing shipments of everything the animation production facility (usually international) needs to make the cartoon, which involves a lot of exporting, layer adjustments, cropping, re-exporting, and cataloguing.

POST

acting as the main point of contact for those overseas animation facilities, which often means trying to field questions from a non-native english speaker every day.

making sure the showrunner and exec producer review weeklies/dailies quickly and thoroughly and the notes get to the overseas studio on time.

configuring the retake list so the production can stay under budget (determining retake categories and footage count, which are connected to prices--involves a surprising amount of math!)

assembling retake materials, including creating lists of tasks for artists to do, getting them the shots or designs they need to fix, and making sure all fixes are completed in time.

CONTRACTS

negotiating rates with every non-corporate player involved in the making of a cartoon and making sure all NDAs and legal contracts are signed and correct.

LEGAL, TRACK READ, TIMING, CHECKING, EXECS, ACCOUNTING

sending boards, designs, animatics, (and as OP said, time cards) to dozens of people with highly specified jobs who require very specific items to do those jobs, making sure they get them at the right times, and making sure whatever they send back (be it notes, sheets, or lists) makes it to the appropriate party so the right action is taken.

and this is all in addition to very stereotypical secretarial work like taking notes at meetings like OP said, managing the showrunner and producer's calendars, and maintaining a pleasant atmosphere for the crew (coordinating game nights, decorating the office, organizing parties or lunches, etc.). production is expected to know everything, what's going on at all times, and how to fix it, which is a lot of work and often, a lot of pressure!

Requested by:  sheena-isa-punkrocker asked

hey!! i LOVE your chishiya hcs so much 💜 i was wondering if i can request hcs for chishiya and reader spending time together at the hospital aftet finishing borderland? like they eat lunch at the cafeteria together, watch funny videos at each other’s hospital beds, talk about their future together while they heal? no pressure!! i love your aib stuff so much 💕💕

Thanks for the request! I hope this is to your liking!

Attention 🤝

Chishiya will give you more attention than he ever has before

Maybe out of relief or fear of possibly loosing you 

The two of you somehow remembered each other once you’ve returned back to earth from the borderlands 

Chishiya would be a few rooms down from yours

Usually after breakfast is when he will come visit you and stay in the little hospital room you are temporarily living in until sundown 

Chishiya never leaves by choice, he is always at your side until a nurse comes in to dismiss him to his own room so you can rest

Of course Chishiya wants you to recover as well so he usually just encourages that the two of you take a nap together and it gives him a reason to hold you in his arms 

Chishiya loves holding you as he falls asleep, he never thought he would enjoy snuggling as much as he does until he started going out with you 

Care💕

Although Chishiya is under recovery as well that won’t stop him from caring for you

Although caring for others is new for Chishiya, he will always make the effort to care for you

Despite his own wounds, he will still go down to the cafeteria to get you what you need

His first question will be if the nurse had given you your pain medicine and if you’ve eaten anything

He won’t take no for an answer If you deny him getting food for you

He will make sure you eat and drink everything that he has brought for you and will quietly hand over his food or drink to you when he notices that you’re still hungry

Check ins🤔

Chishiya will constantly be asking doctors of your healing progress and how you’ve been eating

Although he can simply find out for himself being a doctor

He isn’t with you as often as he would like to be and there is no hurt in asking

He can tell whenever you lie to him on how you’re feeling, he can read you like a book so don’t even bother lying to him!

Fun😙

Unfortunately, there isn’t much to do when being a patient in the hospital

Chishiya is fortunate to have you because you always find something fun to do no matter where the two of you are

Chishiya will let you show him your favorite TV shows, music videos, and movies while the two of you curl up in the small hospital bed

Interest or not, Chishiya is more focused on you and will be cuddling you and playing with your hair throughout the movie

There will be some times when he falls asleep from the comfort you present

Not having access to many things but plain paper, you teach Chishiya how to make origami. Of course, he knows the basics, but you are more advanced than him

And there are days the two of you will spend going through a whole Notebooks worth of paper of origami making

Make outs 😘

There will always be time for the two of you to have some make out sessions

These sessions usually occur an hour or two before the night nurse kicks Chishiya out of your room when visiting hours end

It’s too risky to do anything other thank kissing but the two of you are just greatful that you have each other

You will never get tired of the feel of Chishiyas’ soft and full lips against yours

Being careful of your wounds you have received from the metor, sometimes Chishiya will hold you down by your wrists or your shoulders as he deepens the kiss holding you in place beneath him the way he likes it

There are times when his kisses will get sloppy from his own arousal and excitement of your lips against his

There may be times when a nurse or doctor walks in on the two of you that leaves you and the doctor/nurse a blushing mess and Chishiya completely unphased as usual

Naps😴

Along with the daily make-out sessions, the two of you will have your daily nap sessions as well

Usually, the two of you will fall asleep while snuggled up in your little hospital bed while the two of you watch a movie or a show

Chishiya is always the one to fall asleep first

And sometimes it takes you a while to notice since he’s typically quiet

You’ll turn your head to see him out cold beside you from not answering a question you had for him

Sometimes, you’ll poke his cheeks just to mess with him and you’ll recieve a nose twitch in response

Or he may take your hand and hold it gently in his as a silent gesture to invite you to nap with him

Sorry if it’s short! I’ve had writers block the past couple of days and wanted to write something! Thank you for reading! 🥰
