BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

In the MLP fandom "Twaggle" or "Twiggie" refers to an intentionally badly drawn version of Generation 4 Series Protagonist Twilight Sparkle. And she is often depicted just generally being a little shit of an annoying child

here are some some examples

EOS is arch-derived, yes. It's basically just arch-but-preconfigured to be entirely honest. It gets all its stuff directly from the arch repo (unlike, say, Manjaro which has its own separate repo) and then just adds its own repo with some extra packages.

And speaking of -- The Arch repo hasn't updated to Plasma 6 yet (I am on the hypetrain for Plasma 6, I would have known!), or at least, hadn't by last night.

As for journalctl -- I did check, and there is something error-shaped relating to sddm -- Here's a pastebin that contains the error and stuff.

I did realise -- Like, right now -- I had SDDM-git installed rather than regular SDDM on my machine (don't even remember why I did that. I did say on OP that I was incompetent at package management) -- So I just changed that and will attempt a reboot cycle later today (am working rn). Will post results.

Did not expect I'd ever see a Twaggle outside of mlp-specific meme circles. :p

Disturbing the peace
Look into my eyes
Now tell me the things
You blabbing about behind my back
The tenacity
I hold it's hard to break down
It's too late for apologies
It's going down now

No it's a japanese RPG about kids that get magic powers by shooting themselves with guns that aren't actually guns but hypnotic triggers to awaken their latent psychic powers.

Japan is fun like that.

Fixed. Opened it up on inkscape and did some tinkering with the colors n' shid.

Shooting myself in the head with a very realistic looking toy gun-- repeatedly (?)

Weird weird glitch, but it happened on my phone too now that I tested it.

No idea WHY it happened, but I just copied and reposted my own post and now it seems to work on my phone.

Try again, please.

Animator works on show. Show airs.

Show has no physical DVD/BD version

Show only exists on streaming service or on DRM-locked "buy and own but not really" services.

Show gets pulled from internet because some corporate license expired or some shit like that.

Show no longer exists anywhere other than the corporation's hard drive and pirates' seedboxes.

Animator needs to show their own work as part of a video portfolio to a prospective employer. A scene they made for a well-loved show is great portfolio material.

The corporation ain't sharing. Not until someone sues for the right to get a hard copy of the show they worked on -- Which given how the entire American state does when corporate interests fight any other interest, is something no one animator is willing to do as it'll probably not just drain their finances, BUT has a legitimate chance of fucking over every OTHER animator down the line.

Ergo.
Animator needs to pirate it.

In ye olden days, shows often aired only on TV and didn't get VHS releases. But animators would often just. Tape the show they worked on. Off of the telly. With a VCR.

Which in practice is the same thing as what the pirates are doing, creating a local copy of media that is airing, but corporations don't want you to realise that. So. Here we are.

Notably, if you're an individual animator rather than the show-runner, your contribution to it will be several short scenes scattered across several episodes, and just linking, idk, the wikipedia article or some trailer will not work for showing what you made for the show.
