SLIM GRILLBY AND SMOL SANS!?!? Hell cute yahhh
Stardust ~
I had an idea for Outertale not too long ago, where Grillby’s stardust just gets on everything. I figured Sans would love it and Grillby would love his enthusiasm

Worked on this girl for 9 months. Now this new music video comes out and she’s immensely popular, arguably one of the most popular characters in the LoL universe.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad she’s a huge hit, it’s super exciting to see so many people love the character design and the gameplay, and know that I contributed directly and significantly to the behind-the-scenes engineering that makes it all work. It’s validating.
But it’s also so fucking melancholy to know I did so much work and put in so much time for such a shitty company, run by shitty people, and the reward I got for it was unemployment.
I threw a lot into this character. I cried at work. I started getting panic attacks, which I’ve never gotten before. I developed persistent heart palpitations from the daily overwhelming stress and had to go to the hospital (this is true, seriously.) I basically dropped all my friends outside of work. My manager (and his manager!) lied to me constantly to keep me working. They said I was doing a great job but to keep it up. Don’t worry, it’s going to turn out great, and it’ll all be worth it in the end – recognition, a raise, probably a promotion in short order. They promised me the world. When she was finally finished, I didn’t even get to go to the release party, they just walked me out.
I remember a quote from my last day, it sticks out in my mind: “I know you realize this is really hard for me,” my manager said. Yes, in the end, when he awkwardly informed me I didn’t have my dream job anymore – or any job at all – and then stared back at my shell-shocked face, my thousand-yard stare, the only thing he felt was sorry for himself.
She launched with no major bugs and was considered a technical success. Doesn’t matter. Get the fuck out.
I don’t know how I feel. A weird sensation of pride and intense bitterness. I did a good job; at least, I think I did. Unfortunately, internal validation is the only kind I’m going to get.
Everyone reposting KDA should see this. Riot has successfully distracted everyone into forgetting their culture of sexism, exploitation, and toxicity mere months after it was all revealed.
Look, I get it. Akali is EXTREMELY my type. It’s obvious how much love and care was put into her development. But it makes me furious to see all the free advertising that Riot is getting from people who I thought would know better.
And now? One of the people who is arguably responsible for all that free advertising? Who’s work is undoubtedly making Riot hundreds of thousands of dollars a day? Who was overworked to the point of near breaking? They get nothing. WORSE than the scant bit of credit that most devs can get in a big company like Riot. They got let go.
Fuck Riot Games.
One thing that I thought really sucked a lot is that the production company who made the KDA video isn’t even credited. They credit a lot of other people on their videos, usually, but the actual animators of the video are hidden; almost a lie by omission. At best it’s a honest mistake, at worst it’s sneakily trying to pass off the video as something made in-house when it’s not. :(
Ok but…. this guy is the person who designed Akali.

He went on to design many champs afterward. OP is deactivated?? Anyone wanna explain to me why they seem to believe this with no research???
It says right there on the wiki that he does not work at Riot anymore.

My dad won this thread when I put it on the bookface:
“The original WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast was on the radio.”
Mine did not have a tagline.
Because it was fucking APOCALYPSE NOW.
….accurate, though.
mine was ‘deliverance’ and i don’t know the tagline, if it had one, but the line everyone remembers is “he got a real purty mouth, don’t he?” so make of that what you will
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes holy shit lol

“So, like, what’s the deal with you and Keith?” Pidge asks.
“What do you mean?”
“Lance, it was awkward as fuck when you guys got back. He wouldn’t even look at you and it was so obvious,” she says. “Are you guys back to fighting again?”
It was never like that, and yet, the lie slips out so easily. “Yeah…” The word is slow and low, his expression blank.
“Just like old times, huh?” She elbows Hunk who laughs in agreement, even though he clearly isn’t sold, if the knowing gleam in his eyes is anything to go by.
“Yeah.”
