How would Morris treat an autistic partner?

:OOO!! Hey there Anon! Thank you so much for asking! As someone autistic I've been waiting for the opportunity to write something like this! You've absolutely got the gears in my brain working.

Note - I'm going to be basing these primarily on mine and some friends experiences with Autism. These may not align with everyone, and that's alright.

Word count: 1,013 TWs/CWs: Small mention of gagging!

　˖　✵⭒Morris with an Autistic S/O

❅◞◟　˖⋆　✯　⋆˖　◞◟❅

For starters, this man would do absolutely amazingly with a neurodivergent partner. I'm partially saying this because I think he has a touch of neurodivergence himself, but also because he seems like he'd be willing to be accommodating once he's sat down and talked to about some of your issues. He'd be confused at first, but he'd realize the two of you have more of a common ground than he first assumed.

He'd do a significant bit of research once being told you're autistic. He doesn't want to seem ignorant, and he wants to better understand how to accommodate for your needs. Of course, he'd probably just ask you upfront since he understands everyone's different with different needs and whatnot.

For starters, he completely understand getting so interested in something it's all you talk about. He'd be more than willing to hear about your fixations and interests. In fact, he'd be the type of man to buy you things pertaining to some niche topic you brought up then be like "oh. I just happened to remember you liked this character! Consider it a lucky surprise?" He also enjoys casually bringing up things related to your interest and watching you go off about it.

If you're not a fan of large crowds, that's cool. He enjoys large gatherings, especially since they're good for business! But he can absolutely understand how easy it is to become burnt out by them. He can recall countless times at Joja Block Parties in which he had to step away due to the commotion. He'd be sure to keep track of short-cuts in busier parts of Zuzu City so that you don't have to deal with tons of people.

Loud noises absolutely overwhelm him, even if he doesn't want to admit it. It's a weak point of his. He much prefers the quieter things in life, and being somewhere too loud and boisterous can offset his thoughts, leaving him all disoriented and disgruntled. He completely understands having to walk away from somewhere due to it being too loud and will absolutely surprise you with noise cancelling headphones.

One thing I feel he'd have some difficulty getting used to is if you're clingy. I've mentioned this in a prior post, but he reminds me of a cat in terms of how he warms up to others. It'd take some time for him to get used to you wanting to be against him or wanting to cuddle him or anything like that. But once he's warmed up to your physical advances, he'd be more than happy to allow you to lounge against him while he does his work/while he reads. He'd also be more than happy to hold you against him while he does things, or carry you around if he's able to.

Once he's used to being physically affectionate with you, he'd be so down to laying on top of you if you like that sort of thing. Free weighted plush!

If you don't like affection? That's perfectly fine with him. He's more than capable of being affectionate in other ways, as his main love language pertains moreso toward gift-giving and quality time. Plus, it's hard for him to warm up to physical affection as well, he understands.

He is the world's loudest advocate for parallel play. He would love doing productive while you're doing something else and hearing your input/giving his own input on what you're doing. He finds it one of the nicest ways of bonding with you. Silent acknowledgement of one anothers presence...

He would 100000% understand not liking touching certain textures. Just looking at store-bought slime brings shivers up and down his spine and makes him break into a sweat. Hell, he couldn't even stock those towelettes Joja stocked back when he was a mere grunt due to how horrible they felt to him. He'd take careful note of what you do and don't like touching and then be sure to buy gifts and things that fall under positive textures for you only.

One thing I think would also confuse him would be food aversions. He's never experienced issues with any sort of food. He's had a few dislikes, but he isn't particularly picky. (Not to mention he's been desensitized by microwaveable joja meals) He doesn't quite understand the whole unable to eat something due to the texture thing, nor does he understand gagging due to the scent of something. But he'd try his best to accommodate to you. He'd start carrying your comfort foods in his home, and he'd try to eat food that set off your aversions away from you. That way, you both would be able to eat together and he'd still be able to eat what he wants.

He doesn't get stimming at first but he'll try his best to accommodate for your needs. Joja sells stim toys! Look at that cute clicky worm thing! He can get plenty! Once they end up breaking after barely any use, he buys ones from actually refutable brands. One benefit in you stimming is him realizing just how relaxing it is to sit down and do similar.

He can find himself getting a little easily irritated over things being said poorly, but once you explain to him that its hard for you to control your tone or the way you phrase things, he starts asking for clarification when he's confused.

He can be very passive aggressive or sarcastic toward others. But toward you, he'll keep himself and his mouth in check. Especially if you don't pick up on either well.

Schedule changes do not happen with this man. You never have to worry about being put off track unless it's something out of his hands. He is always on time, no sooner, no later. This man adores daily routines too, and knowing you like predictability leaves him the ability to continue following his usual routine without much issue. If and when he can't stick to the usual, however, he tries to give a heads up.

If and when you go mute, he entirely understands and tries not to force you to talk. Though, I imagine the first time it happened he was absolutely startled. He was worried he did something and that he was being given silent treatment. Or that something had happened to you. Once you explained it to him later, however, he understood. If you're able to, he often hands you a board to write with. If you're not able to, he just sits with you and does whatever you want to, or just does his work and lets you lean against him.

If he notices you're overwhelmed he does everything he can to take you out of the situation, even if you end up dejected over the fact he left for the sake of you. If the two of you are at a company wide party and you start to get noticeably burnt out he'll find an excuse to leave. If you two are at a restaurant or something and you're starting to get more jittery he'll ask if you'd like to make your meals take out and head out. If ever you voice you're worried you're ruining your outings together due to this, he'll cup your face with his hand (if you like physical touch) and reassure you otherwise.

He loves you to bits ultimately, and he wants the absolute best for you. He'd probably check in constantly to make sure you're alright.

its getting close to 1 am its horseposting time. coroika chars in mlp. i am normal.

idk how many people on tumblr are into mlp AND coroika but its going on a lot over on twt at the moment and i have thoughts and i need to shake my brain out somewhere

i have preeeetty fixed ideas of what i think the s5 would be so ill start there.

rider is a unicorn, star cluster cutie mark because he's incredibly normal about using magic.

aloha is an earth pony with basically the party popper emoji as a cutie mark for obvious reasons

mask is a pegasus, with some kind of gaming or device related cutie mark depending on what they actually have in this hypothetical universe

army is also a unicorn with a notebook/journal as a cutie mark. excessive manuals yk

skull is also a unicorn with either a scope or just candy as a cutie mark. depends on if they have weapons or not.

i had a couple of other ideas too. specs i think would be a unicorn, headphones a pegasus. goggles and bobble are both earth ponies. emperor is an alicorn whilst prince is a unicorn yet to get his wings. gloves would be a pegasus. wireglasses would be a unicorn who despite being a prodigy in himself is often overshadowed by rider (i hc them to be siblings :3) whilst shady to me feels like a pegasus i think. aviators feels like a unicorn to me whilst diver is a pegasus.

#longposting at midnight #longposting #im gonna call my long posts that from now on thats funny #to me #also i kinda planned on drawing a couple of these but i got too pissed off at myself for not knowing how to horse anatomy #i might try again at some point in the near(ish) future #coroika #splatoon #not art

have severely cooled, really to the point of annoyance, on that post that’s like “you can see the seams and cogs in bad media more than good media and that’s why i love watching it!” first of all, skill issue, get your fun up; second of all, skill issue, good media has exactly as penetrable a facade as the bad stuff. (this unless you’re defining “good” as “works for me” and “bad” as “doesn’t work for me”, which i think is facile but certainly no more arbitrary than my own taste and judgment so hats off to ya.)

i feel like you see this a lot: “sound editing is really only noticeable when it’s bad” or things of this sort. largely it’s about technical or formal stuff, which we normie non-industry guys have no real reason to understand. this is of course observably whack, and i think borne of a certain style of interacting with film + tv (misplaced valorization of a sort of reality effect) as well as not really thinking about most genres, or works in general, as being crafted. like, seeing the wheels fall off is not your first sign that the car is carefully engineered to move! i cannot stop thinking about this. if you start with the premise that a movie is a thing that has been put together from the ground up, the idea that you can best see how it works if it is unsuccessful is super wild.

like, on one hand, it is recognizably how we work: it makes me think of the bill brown thing theory line about how we only notice the thingness of an object when it stops working for us— like how a window you can no longer properly gaze through (cloudy or something. cracked. someone’s painted over it or taped up a flyer for an uncompensated and sketchy psychological study) is more notable as an object when it’s lost its function. so presumably a bad movie becomes an object of scrutiny when it isn’t immersive and transportive.

on the other hand, though, you cannot tell me you haven’t been part of the way through a movie and cottoned onto something it was doing, and then never lost that awareness, even as the movie is entirely successful. i remember having cronenberg’s crash on and being agog at the sound design— like it sounds horrifying, even as it is remarkably attuned to quiet, soft sounds, and makes hushed moments feel like collisions. or the other day i saw crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which similarly has really turned up the silence, though without a resulting violence. instead you get these really beautiful moments, like when the twanging reverberation of the blade blends into the rising soundtrack.

the point being that as far as i am willing to look, these are way more interesting, notable, and real moments of pulling the curtain back than, say, a scene being done with poorly-synced ADR because you couldn’t hear the actors or something like that. and analogize that to all features of media which can be successful or unsuccessful. there is some kind of desire to praise things as seamless, natural, real, never arresting or disjointed or obvious in their artifice; or so immersive that they permit no critical thought. maybe there is also the desire to recuperate Bad Media as formally interesting in its failures, which is, i guess, fair, but speaks to a sort of embarrassment at the notion of failure which i think sucks on a different level. really i think so long as you have special rules for how good and bad media work and can be perceived to work, and these rules are very binaristic and rely on a weird opposition or polarity between Good Thing and Bad Thing, you are depriving yourself of a) some amount of dynamism or novelty in your ostensibly analytical viewing experience, and b) fun!!

Teegarden's Gallifrey Headcanons: What the heck is Perigosto?

If you're familiar with classic Doctor Who and the extended universe, chances are you've heard of the nebulous item that is a "Perigosto Stick". It's a musical instrument, a piece of sports equipment, and the subject of many a Gallifreyan proverb and joke. So what exactly is it? To learn about that, we need to travel to Tapraliph, the southwestern territory of Gallifrey's arid continent of Rasholenywo, or Wild Endeavour.

Made from the long, flexible rib bones of a Broakir, (a large domestic animal similar to an elephant or large draft horse) a Perigosto stick, or perigozyhig, is a hoopstick used in the Tapraliphan sport of perigosto, meaning "to deliver" in the region's ancient language. The stick is typically the same length as the height of the athlete, and to counterbalance its incredible length, a heavy ball of bone or metal is affixed at the grip end. Small holes are drilled along its length: one to attach a thin cord of inflexible fiber, and up to a dozen others to change the location of the nock, a small piece of carved bone through which the string is threaded. More recently, perigosto sticks have increasingly been made with plastic or carbon fiber.

In a game of perigosto, an athlete would wield the stick in their dominant hand, while holding the cord in the other. Players take turns passing, intercepting, and launching a wooden hoop between two teams on a field or indoor court with the end goal of landing it on the opponent's goal pole. The hoop is thrown in the air by a referee to start the game, typically caught by a frontlining player, and they are passed between teammates by yanking taut the cord to launch the hoop off the stick's end. Intercepting from a rival player cannot be done by force, (yanking off the hoop with the curve of your stick) players must slide their own stick into the hoop and launch it up and away from the other player. Its core rules are reminiscent of basketball (the hoop must be continuously bounced on the player's stick while moving and if they stop doing so, they can no longer move; points are assigned based on the distance of the successful shot) but the extreme precision and physical strength required to play perigosto is very typical of gallifreyan sports.

Some time after the invention of the sport, enterprising Tapraliphans realized that pulling on the stick's string produced a twanging sound, and that the pitch could be altered by changing its tightness. The perigozyhig quickly became a household musical instrument, joining traditional drums, flutes, and shawms in clan gatherings and ceremonies. While planting the left foot between the nock and tip, the musician rests the counterweight on their shoulder and manipulates the string with their left hand, and plucks it with their right. Later the concept of bowing was invented, with hunting bows used at first similarly to earthly string instruments. The end result is an instrument reminiscent of a single-string bass, but the movable nock gives the instrument extreme versatility; some master players have perfected virtuosic playing in every possible register. While in modern times perigosto sticks are often manufactured specifically for one purpose or the other, any instrument could theoretically be used for a quick game in the park, or a sports stick used to accompany the keedet (a type of Tapraliphan guitar) around the bonfire in the evening.

The Time Lords would later use the term to colloquially describe a type of common fourth-dimensional compass, whose shape resembled a miniature perigozyhig. In most instances, this is the "Perigosto stick" to which the Doctor refers, except...

The Doctor was in his early nineties before he could bring himself to admit that he still liked to play with his perigosto stick.

While the euphemistic potential is obvious here, the Time Lords viewed Perigosto as a children's game, despite its popularity among common Gallifreyans of all ages, due to the belief that grown Time Lords were suited only to the high intellectual pursuits of the sciences and not inferior activities such as sports and music.

He played lead perigosto stick in Gallifrey Academy Hot Five, while the Master was on drums.

Who knows if they had a real knack for shredding away on it, or if they had the brazen overconfidence of a tipsy college freshman with an acoustic guitar.

The Third Doctor once told a humorous story in which the punchline was, "Never trust a Venusian shanghorn with your perigosto stick."

Venusian Shanghorns, while generally peaceful, fight for a mate using their massive horns. Considering the perigozyhig's appearance, maybe its best not to show it off around these simple-minded creatures, lest you enjoy fighting bus-sized rhinoceri to the death.

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

I realized that you all only ever see the final image when I upload my photos, however there is a decent bit of editing that is behind each photo before the version that you see:

This is a photo I took yesterday, and you can see that the edited version is pretty drastically different from the raw image taken from the camera. They're not all like this, but it was a very foggy day.

Most of the time the only thing that's needed is a bit of color correction in order to capture the right mood or vibrance that I'm going for. Particularly in the case of the fire pit, you can see there's not much difference between the source image and the edited one, so much so that it's not immediately evident where the seam between both images is.

Most of the time, this difference in color is just a matter of personal preference, however in some cases, like the one above, it really is necessary. In the original sunset image, the photo doesn't capture the pure wave of color that the sunset had, instead looking very dark and bland. After editing it is able to more accurately capture how it looks in my eye.

With all this said, I don't claim to be an expert on color correction or photography as a whole for that matter. It could be that I just shoot my photos wrong and all this editing is unnecessarily fixing a problem that I shouldn't have. Either way, it looks good in the end.

Scammer pretending to be in Palestine v2

This post has been remade with better info! Please go to this one:

Got an ask from someone claiming to be in Palestine needing mutual aid? Unfortunately there is a scammer going around and it’s likely the ask you got sent is the same one being sent by multiple accounts who target users interacting with Palestine posts. These blogs use the text/images off a real fundraiser and then post it here pretending to be the person it’s made for. Their accounts are usually only a few days old and they don’t interact beyond the ask/follow. Lately they might make the link to their PayPal account in different colors or claim their GoFundMe is pending so you will assume the real one is theirs. They don’t have any GoFundMe’s set up. They steal from them. If you need proof of something being stolen, searching the text of their post in a search engine should pull up the source. If you know how to report PayPal accounts, please report those used by the scammers.

(Moved to new list)

Below is a growing list of fake/stolen names used across the accounts:

Keep in mind this post isn’t saying all accounts asking for mutual aid in Palestine are scams. Rather, this post is meant to bring awareness of a scammer stealing money from those who really need it by pretending to be a person in Palestine. To report scams, use this:

Report -> Something else -> Illegal uses or Content -> Phishing

I've been really busy, so I haven't been able to write anything I've wanted to in the past little bit. Regardless, I'd really like to expand on the concept of Trans Morris and my HCs revolving around him. They've been sitting in my brain for a while, and I'd love to share them with the audience.

Word Count: 1.5k! CW/TW: uhhhh not sure what to put here but Has themes of self doubt, dysphoria, and less upbeat societal stuff around the beginning OH ALSO UNSAFE BINDING IS BRIEFLY MENTIONED.

୨﹒Trans Morris HCs

︶꒦꒷︶꒷꒦︶♡︶︶꒦꒷︶꒷︶︶꒦꒷

- I see Morris as a Trans guy who experiences dysphoria. (He/Him) - I imagine he first realized he didn't align with his agab as a young child. He realized he had more of a connection toward masculinity and toward other boys, but it never really clicked until he was older. All he knew was that he didn't like wearing anything overly feminine, and that he preferred to wear his hair up to make it look short. I imagine as a kid he’d pitch an utter fit being forced to wear any kind of dress, but it was just brushed off as him being a defiant kid. - Its not that his parents wouldn’t have been supportive, they just didn’t understand what his issue was, and were left even more confused when kid him tried to explain it. - He went through his teen years knowing something was off but never quite understanding what it was. There weren’t answers for him in any of the books he looked through, nor were there answers around him. It was isolating. It felt right being mistaken for a guy when his hair was up, and it felt mortifying when people corrected themselves. But it shouldn’t have. Why did it feel like that? - He was raised entirely oblivious to LGBTQ+ identities. After all, he was raised sometime in the late 80s/early 90s. Identifying as anything within the community was still seen as a taboo, so to say. He had heard about it in passing, and even heard about it in a somewhat positive light from a few people, but was too nervous to look into it himself. For every positive thing he heard, there were dozens of negative things. I heavily HC this man as having been bullied. It was terrifying to him. He was terrified of the possibility of being something that wouldn’t be accepted. Of something which was such a large part of other peoples’ existence being something that caused his more turmoil. A part of him felt like he was just looking for attention, and the other part felt like it’d be a dead end and that he’d end up worse off than he already was. He’d likely look into it too much and mislabel himself. Self doubt! Confusion! Imposter Syndrome! - Sometime in his teens he started feeling horrible dysphoria and ended up giving himself one of those choppy botched haircuts on numerous occasions. - Dysphoria hoodies were practically an everyday outfit. If anyone asked, he’d just tell them that hoodies and sweatpants were comfier to be in. - He fell victim to the bandage binding trap. He wanted to try to use anything to hide his chest, and so, he tried to bandage bind. Obviously after a bit of trial and error he realized this was an outright horrible idea and stopped bothering, resorting right back to the hoodie grind. - He started fully transitioning sometime when he was in his 20s. - He had absolutely no idea what the fuck being trans was, nor what how he felt was considered. He was nervous over bringing up how he felt, as it seemed entirely alien. He felt like it wasn't worth bringing up to anyone, and that it was in his head, really. If his parents didn’t know what he was talking about, if none of his peers understood, then clearly the issue was him. Right? He didn't know what transness was until he caught a conversation from a coworker within his department about it and realized their experiences and emotions aligned with his.

- Bro was standing there in his Joja apron thingy like :O.

- He didn’t confront them about it or anything, but knowing someone else felt similar to how he did was enlightening. It felt like there might’ve been people out there who understood his experiences, and that he wasn’t alone. There were people like him, and they were thriving.

- Eventually he’s able to find more information and resources pertaining to his feelings and he looks into LGBTQ+ identities as a whole. This is when he’s finally able to seek gender affirming care for himself, and also be able to better understand himself as a whole.

- The day this man started binding a weight was seemingly lifted off of his shoulder. It was more difficult for him to find a binder at first due to his size, but when he did… He stared at himself in the mirror for a solid 10 minutes in disbelief. It was his first ever experience with gender euphoria, and he could have cried on the spot.

- Coming out to his parents was another weight off of his shoulders. Well- after the long-winded explanation he had to give. His parents weren’t unsupportive, but they were entirely clueless like he was. It took a lot of examples and carefully expanding on concepts for them to finally start wrapping their head around his identity. They’re still a bit confused, but they’ve got the spirit!

- He actually let his mom help him with figuring out his preferred name! His dad rushed in to give his own input and ultimately they decided on his current name as one he liked :3

- Pre-T his voice was lower on the register, but after taking testosterone his voice noticeably changed. He didn’t have to force a lower voice when speaking anymore. Of course, he did end up making it a habit to force a higher voice around people he didn’t quite trust anymore. At least until it was difficult to.

- Adjusting to testosterone injections was… not fun! I don’t headcanon he necessarily has a fear of needles, but he does hesitate every fucking time he gives himself a shot if there isn’t a distraction around for him to focus on. - bro has definitely done his T shot in a dingy ass joja restroom before

- I personally headcanon that even as a lower ranking Joja Employee he didn’t have much of anyone to speak to, so there wasn’t really anyone for him to come out to aside from his parents.

- He worked overtime constantly so that he could eventually afford top surgery.

- Post OP was even better than he could’ve imagined. After getting over the soreness of the procedure and resting for as many days as he could before the Joja demons wrangled him back into work, he stared at himself in the mirror and just grinned. Seeing himself the way he had always wanted to look was everything he could’ve dreamed of and more. He felt sheer gender euphoria and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was still sore as hell from surgery he would’ve probably pranced around.

- He was able to walk around his house with a shirt off more often, if not, almost all the time during the hotter seasons.

- Over the years I imagine he grew into his identity more and came to be really proud of who he is, and what he’s been through. Though, he still prefers only bringing his identity up to people he can trust. He’s still skittish over the thought of being chastised by others and still worries about the possibility of being outed to someone he can’t trust. Hate him for being a corporate drone, don’t hate him for who he is!

- He still experiences dysphoria, but it isn’t even remotely as bad as it was in his younger years. He can still be found in blanket-nests on the off day though, and he’s definitely snuck into a hoodie after work on numerous occasions. Why doesn't he wear a hoodie during work hours, you may ask? He's a FORMAL man who craves FORMALITY and STYLE. Removing his suit on work hours would be like removing a part of his soul, it'd be embarrassing stepping out and being seen as so informal for once.

- He looks at his surgery scars fondly, thinking of how far he’s come and how much farther he’ll inevitably come. - Coming out to any friend he makes is ultimately nerve-wracking for him, but he always says it with such a prideful, soft smile. - Despite being more discreet about his identity, he would 1000% be happy helping younger trans folk figure out their identities and help them grow into themselves. - He's not the best boss in the world, but by god is he great when it comes to inclusivity and making sure everyone is heard and accommodated and heard on that department. He's the guy who would absolutely risk his job yelling at some executive over their backwards ass views. Yes, he's a corporate suck-up, but he's not a big enough one to let that slide. - Bro absolutely reps that tacky Joja Brand Pride Merchandise every pride month. (and all year, for that matter. pride is an all year affair and hes letting it be known no matter how awful the mug is) - Eventually, with a lot of hesitation on his end, he openly comes out as trans and is greeted with just about nothing but support from the acquaintances he has. It took him by surprise for sure, but he could've swore he viewed the valley in a much softer light that day, and even moreso post community center. - After this, he's able to go to the beach topless, which was one of his longtime future goals. Not only does it feel reaffirming, but its the marking of him fully coming into everything regardless of his age. Plus, no longer would the days of a tank top and socks and sandals remain!

Sirius: Which one of you was going to tell me that tea taste different if you put it in hot water

Lily,*slowly puts down her book*: Y-You were putting it in cold water....

Sirius: ....

Remus: Padfoot? Answer the question. Sirius!

Sirius: Yeah I thought for like 5 years that people just put it in hot water to speed up the tea-ification process. Didn't realize there was an actual reason.

Everyone: ....

Sirius: You think I have the patience to boil water?

Regulus: You don't have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes????

James,*grabbing him*: Why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it?!

Regulus: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove?!

Remus: Fuck Regulus you too!!??!!

James: It takes less than a minute!

Marlene: IS YOUR STOVE TOP POWERED BY THE FUCKING SUN?????

James: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO BOIL A CUP OF WATER ON THE STOVE!??!

Remus: Like 7 minutes!

James: Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like 2 minutes less than that and you use a saucepan.

Pandora *taking notes*: Everyone in this room is so creative :)

Dorcas*turning to Remus*: So no one in your house uses a fucking kettle!?

Remus: Its right there near the stove!!

Sirius: Wait a second... that's used to make tea??

"BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance" statement transcript:

“BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance On August 23 of this year, BioWare eliminated “approximately 50 roles at BioWare”. Following the layoffs, seven ex-BioWare employees engaged the services of R. Alex Kennedy to represent their interests, stating that the amount of severance offered was insufficient under Alberta common law. Counsel for the employees has attempted to reach a compromise that would avoid requiring lengthy court proceedings, but BioWare’s lawyers refused any offers to negotiate and settle out of court. The basis of Kennedy’s claim is that according to Alberta precedents and under Canadian law, these employees should be receiving approximately 1.7 months of severance per year of service they gave to BioWare. BioWare has now filed a Statement of Defence, which argues that the seven terminated employees are only entitled to two weeks of severance per year spent in service to BioWare, because of a contract provision that Kennedy says is not enforceable. The filing means BioWare will be taking these former employees to court rather than working towards finding an out of court resolution. The developers involved in the suit have expressed their disappointment: - “We are disappointed that BioWare prefers stalling and intimidation tactics to fair dealing with people who have given years, and in some cases decades, of dedication and hard work to the company.” - “We believe they are using intimidation and stalling tactics to try and get us to drop out. A lot of the more junior employees and those with families, who had more monetary pressure on them, could not risk waiting on a court case that may take many months more to resolve, and have already had to drop out.” - “At the time of the layoffs, BioWare offered us professional assistance in finding new employment, and an additional payment, but ONLY on the condition that we signed an agreement saying we cannot talk about any details of the settlement, and that we would completely waive any right to legal action or even to complain in any way about anyone associated with BioWare now or ever in the future. Tactics like that sure make me think that BioWare knows it is in the wrong.” - “Despite what they publicly announced when they laid us off, this process has been anything but empathetic, respectful, and communicative.” The latest BioWare layoffs were the third round so far this year, and many of the developers affected even in earlier rounds are still searching for work, though some have started to find new positions. Regardless of employment status, the members of the current lawsuit state they remain determined to pursue BioWare in court, regardless of their employment status: - “We strongly believe that if Dragon Age: Dreadwolf does not do as well as BioWare or EA wants at launch, there will be more, even larger layoffs. Therefore, regardless of our own well-being, we believe it is important to hold BioWare responsible and get a clear decision on what settlement amount is legal. We’re no longer part of the development team, so the best way we can help our former teammates now is to hold BioWare accountable and ensure that the next group who is laid off are not treated as poorly as we were.” November 7th marks “N7 Day”, which is a fan celebration of BioWare’s Mass Effect games featuring Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. The developers involved in the lawsuit are hoping N7 Day this year will be a reminder to BioWare of the importance of loyalty to your crew, and hope fans can have a little fun and help express their support with memes and images using an #N7SeveranceDay hashtag. The ex-employees involved in the suit are all based in Canada and have an average of 14 years at BioWare.”
