I know this is a really weird question but i have a protagonist whos a white cop in 70s and the story is like pretty woke, but i realised just how much the time period and position would affect his character and how he'd react or feel about certain things. For the least racist part, I'm moreso asking about the degrees of racism and what was possibly the mildest or least intense (assuming there was no '100% not racist' option back then), the character will be educated and learn to move on with it though, ofcourse.

I've been trying to decide which major i want even though it's still considered pretty early for me to think about but i want to be prepared for the future.

I always wanted to be an animation major, but later on have decided not to due to the saturation of the industry and the rise of ai threatening alot of the jobs on there, so i started to look for other majors that will come useful for me.. but as it turns out, everyones seems to be struggling no matter what industry and that jobs are scarce, and so many have been saying that at this point just take what you're passionate in as you won't get a job anyways.

I want to know everyones thoughts on this, and if this is still true if not even truer now. Does a college major ever actually mean anything nowadays??

What did you guys take in place for animation, and what jobs do you currently have, or did have before becoming a professional if you are a professional?

I posted here earlier about how i was confused with what to do with animation school and if i should pursue it. I'm considering everyone's advice with learning animation on the side instead of making it my main source of income in college... but at the same time, I'm also unsure how to do that

Art and animation are the only few things im good at, and im hoping to do international and get a scholarship and again, art and animation are the only few things im good at and enjoy doing. I still have to pick a strand or a course too for senior high school, and i don't know what now since I've always just automatically set on animation. Any recommendations?

And also, how do people without a degree in animation or simply have not went with animation in college really become professionals or get accepted to jobs and stuff like that? and how often or possible is it to happen?

I so badly want to become a professional animator. I want to do animation for college. I want to go to art school but i live in a country where that's unsustainable. I can't think about a life where i dont do animation or art for the rest of my life without feeling horrible or sick. I'm planning to go international for it but i know its so, so, so risky.

I want to be an animator and get to work on shows and even make my own works. I like the repetitivity but in this economy... gosh. I don't want to go STEM either because i have trouble with math. I feel like i can't improve the way i want to or become professional without having animation as my main course in college. I dont know what to do

id like to leave the creator fund program.

I want to get a scholarship for animation for when i start college soon, because I'm planning to go overseas for college and i want to lessen my funds as much as possible. I don't want or expect a full ride but atleast just any kind of scholarship that'll help with funding. I wont be going to college that soon but I'm planning on taking a gap year to work on my portfolio. To those who have gotten a scholarship or know anything about it, any tips on how to have a good chance of getting one?

I know usually we don't enjoy crticism, but i want to know how other people deal with it and experience it.

I personally, am aware that criticism is good and that i need it to improve and usually allow it but even then, it hurts me badly. I also don't want to seem immature by rejecting criticism and i often say i'm fine with it but I am not. I spiral into thought thinking about it and i just get this sick feeling in my stomach.

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm autistic. Does anybody else feel like this is the worst possible combo to have with NPD? When you're autistic, you're already struggling to feel normal and it just feels so embarrassing. Being autistic is already challenging, but it's even worse when you're a narcissist because it's so hard to mask.

I could always mask my grandiosity and npd but I can't always mask being autistic, it'll always slip out and people can always tell. It's so infuriating because one minute you think you're being normal, the next you are reminded that you are inherently odd, and then it feels like people think of you like you're stupid, pitiful, or below them because you aren't neurotypical. It makes me feel pathetic, and i feel like if i wasn't a narcissist i'd be able to handle the alienation better.

I want to know if anyone else has experiences like this, and / or relates
